I Became a Retired Warrior Who Suffered NTR in the Novel - Chapter 94



94 – Bloody Fight

“Carpet Bombing”

Receiving Karen’s signal, I raised the holy sword high toward the sky and used magic to turn the fortress’s surroundings into a sea of fire.

Let’s use wide-area magic that is not just in one area, but in the range of the entire empire.

The clear sky turned red, and it looked like flames were burning in the clouds.

And after a while…

Boom!!! Kwa-kwa-gwa-gwang!!! Kwagwagwang!!!

Fireballs were falling from the sky all over the area, including Kamar Fort, turning it into a sea of fire.

All the imperial troops at the bottom of the cliff were either burned to death on the spot or engulfed in flames, disappearing without a shape.

Edwin and I, Karen…

This operation, carried out only by these three…

It was a secret operation designed to deceive the Imperial Army, who started moving with rumors that I was unconscious.

Edwin played in the palace so that the imperial army would not notice,

Me and Karen sneaked out of the palace and decided to attack the Imperial Army here at the Camar Fortress.

Above all, the reason why we chose the location as the Camar Fortress is,

The Camar Fort was historically the best fortress and strategic location that had repelled many attacks.

The Camar Territory around this fort is surrounded by mountains, so once you enter, it is not easy to scatter to other places.

The operation could have failed if it had not been for the fortress’s Count Lloyd and his soldiers, who remained in the fortress until the end and pulled the time for the imperial army to gather in one place…

Belatedly arriving near the fortress, the imperial army, unable to be affected by my magic, began retreating from the flames.

I didn’t bother chasing or attacking them.

“Wow!!”

Because, reinforcements led by Princess Cecilia, who came all the way here from the Fjord Empire, were already waiting there…

The size is about 200,000 large army…

With that level of troops, it is a sufficient number to fight, except for the Eritre Empire army that is engulfed in flames.

Besides, most of the Imperial army threw away their weapons while running away from the flames, and the battle lines were disorganized, so they were in a state of chaos,

They showed no will to fight at all.

“It’s been a while. Hero Carlos.”

The place where I am standing is definitely the highest cliff among the mountains surrounding the Kamar territory…

A middle-aged man slowly ascending from a place like this…

He was none other than the Rad Board High Priest who held the real power of the High Minister with his saintess Emilia.

The man I’ve known since I was first appointed as a hero smiles as usual,

At some point, I was on eye level with me on the cliff.

“Is it you, the high priest, who brought the imperial army?”

“Yes. What. If it’s the culprit, I could be the culprit.”

As if mocking me, High Priest Radbod acknowledges himself…

I didn’t like the way he looked like he was laughing with one corner of his mouth raised above all else…

“Anyway, that’s a big deal. I thought it was because the hero said he wasn’t conscious yet… But to hear you came all the way here…”

“Maybe it was a revelation from God to end you, High Priestess, right here today?”

“hahahaha, would the goddess say that?”

“Then should I take the goddess and have a three-way face-to-face?”

High Priest Rad Board moved his body floating in the air forward and he was walking on top of the cliff with me.

Approaching me, he took off his priestly uniform one by one, probably trying to reveal his true colors.

Originally, when you take off the priest’s uniform, it’s normal for underwear or thin everyday clothes to be exposed underneath…

In fact, he was wearing black armor, not ordinary clothes, inside the priestly uniform of High Priest Radboud.

In my memory, there was only one person who wore armor like that.

The Demon King…

“No way… High Priest Radbod you…”

“Let me greet you again. My name is Asmodeus. He is the new demon king and the grim reaper who will take your life.”

The face of the High Priest, who had been standing with a benevolent smile until just now, turned evil, and he greeted me politely with his right hand on his chest.

“I thought you were the new demon king… Since when did you…”

“Well… Maybe it is correct to say that this Radbod has been a priest?”

“I never thought you would do anything like this to get me… Then, is it your fault that you’ve been manipulating the Empire from behind?”

“Not all of them, but most of them participated a lot.. Should I say that the connection between the saintess and the crown prince, the banishment of you from the empire, and the fact that you brought an army to this place today?”

In general, I tried to overlook the words of the demon king Asmodeus in that he spoke lies, which is a characteristic of the demons I know.

That hasn’t always been easy.

Somehow, thinking that all of the things I had been through were started because of Lee Ja, I was putting strength into the holy sword, creating a white sword.

“Whoah, you shouldn’t be so excited already. You must be more angry in the future than you are now…”

“What? Do you think I would die at your hands?”

“What are you saying! I will never kill the warrior right away. I will show you how to conquer the kingdom of Argen and even kill those dear to you.”

“Will it work as you think?”

“Of course. As for the first target, I heard that a dog I raised under me is here? Maybe from that year on, I thought I would tear it to death?”

I didn’t say who the demon king was, but after hearing his words, I knew who he was at once.

Kir…

Maybe it was a good thing that she was sent to the realm of Horon instead of her place…

“Think carefully. The former demon king couldn’t even touch a hair on me and he died like that, so can you tell me?”

“Yes. It was. I knew very well why all the demon lords had suffered from you, the hero. So, in a way, that’s why I came up to the human world as soon as I became a candidate for the Demon King. Would you like to take a look?”

Sureung!

The demon king took out a normal sword, not the demon sword used by the previous demon kings, and aimed it at me…

I feel sorry for him when I see him like that, but on the other hand, the reason why he is so confident seems to be approaching me with anxiety.

“You will make me regret everything you just said.”

Evil!

I was the one who started the attack first.

As soon as he finished speaking, he took care of himself and swung his sword, and the demon king avoided the attack by dodging his body backwards with the power of his momentary wits.

“Okay then, let’s go.”

Kang! Papababat!! Papababat!!

Certainly, his skills are on a completely different level from those of the Four Heavenly Kings he has fought so far…

The demon king started attacking at high speed with great agility, and I blocked all the attacks with a simple swing of my holy sword.

Papapapapat!! Pargagak!!

How many times have you encountered the Holy Sword?

Usually, when a magic sword collides with a holy sword, serious damage is done to the blade, starting with the blade being damaged.

Since the attacks of these holy swords were blocked with a regular sword, the center of the blade cracked and was on the verge of breaking at any moment.

“Are you saying you want to keep coming out even though the sword is in that state?”

“Hero, all victories do not come from the sword. It means that if you believe in only one holy sword and try it like that, the day will come when you will injure your nose.”

“…..”

Laughing at me with one corner of his mouth raised… It seemed like something amplified the uneasiness in my heart,

Since I don’t know the reason right now, I raised the holy sword high again with the determination to strike it down.

And…

Kang!!! Shredded!!!

The crack in the middle of the sword blade held by the demon king eventually cracked even more and broke as it was.

The front part fell to the floor and got stuck on the floor.

“You only have half a sword now, so you’re going to keep fighting?”

“Once again, champion, you cannot kill me.”

“You can’t kill me?”

“Did you forget? Why.. Did the hero make a party for a very long time?”

The devil’s words are mysterious or unknown…

I took those words as the demon king’s will and struck them down with the holy sword, and the demon king’s half-sword ultimately failed to block the attack.

“Kuh…”

The demon king, who received a severe wound in his abdomen from the holy sword, eventually knelt down on one knee and sat down.

The holy sword I was holding was stained with what appeared to be his blood.

“Is that the end of the will?”

“Ha… Ha ha… A will. The person who will listen to my will doesn’t seem to be you, the hero?”

“What?”

Perhaps the wound caused by the holy sword could not be healed, the demon king was barely supporting his body, bleeding on the spot.

Until then, I hadn’t seen his counterattack, so in the end I thought his words were bluffing and raised the holy sword again.

“Goodbye, then. Devil.”

I struck the holy sword once again and this time directed it at the demon king’s neck, and with this I thought the demon king’s life was over.

The huge wound on the demon lord’s neck from my blow was spurting out blood, and before I knew it, the floor around me was soaked with blood.

I hope so… In a few seconds…

“[Heel]”

With a familiar voice coming from somewhere, the devil’s body emitted a bright light, and the wounds on his body and neck were healing.

Along with him, his complexion, which had been pale due to the loss of blood, was gradually returning to normal.

“What… What…”

“So I didn’t tell you? The one who will listen to my will is not you, the hero.”

The moment the demon king was about to finish his words, three women hiding behind the forest appeared and were approaching the demon king.
