I Became a Retired Warrior Who Suffered NTR in the Novel - Chapter 98



98 – End

Shoot!!!

When I took out the holy sword stuck in the demon king’s abdomen, the surrounding area was becoming more and more stained with blood.

I thought it was over, so I took a step back and watched the demon king’s attitude.

“Kuh… Kheheheheug.. hahahaha!”

“Any last words?”

“Last? What are you talking about? The fight is not over yet!”

At the words of the demon king, I showed him that the fight was over by wiping the blood off the holy sword as if he were showing off.

He didn’t show his face at all, either afraid or foreboding the end.

“[Greater Hill]”

At that time, the voice of a woman I had forgotten about rang out…

Saint Emilia, who had been hiding for a while due to Kir’s attack, reappeared and was casting healing magic behind the demon king.

It is also an advanced healing magic that is said to save even the gravely injured from dying…

“Ha ha ha ha ha!!! How about this? Warrior? Since the saintess treats her so well, she must be willing to lose!”

Not only was his entire body healed in an instant, but his physical strength was also restored, and the demon king stood up again,

With a more vivid appearance than before, he raised his demonic sword towards me.

“Well then, shall we try again?”

PAT!!! Kang! Gaga River!

Someone…

We must stop Emilia.

Kir showed no signs of getting up from his seat, probably because he was shocked by the demon king’s attack just before.

Lucia was already there and was treating Kir.

Kanga gaga gag!

The demon king and my tremendous attacks started again…

Unable to see each other’s swords, attacks that can never be blocked unless it is through the senses of the body…

A battle that never seems to end…

With no choice but to cheat, I deliberately pretended to be pushed back, blocked his attack, and took a backward step.

Whether the demon king knew it or not, he had a smile on his face and was attacking and pressuring me at a faster pace.

Kang! Gaga Gaga Gang!

“Why? Are the warriors of the world getting tired now?”

“……”

At his provocation, I deliberately didn’t speak.

It’s hard to block his attacks, so pretending to be tough and aiming for a counterattack…

No matter how strong Emilia’s healing is, it can’t revive even the demon king who died instantly in one blow…

I took the Demon King’s carelessness and stopped his attack by blocking his head with a sword.

In an instant, he rotated his body, and with the elasticity he received there, he swung strongly toward the demon king’s waist.

Kang!!!! Kwajik!

Belatedly noticing my attack, the demon king’s sword, which I tried to block, couldn’t overcome the damage and cracked.

At that moment, I took advantage of the moment when the demon king was flustered and turned his body again, aiming for the opposite waist and struck.

Sak!!!!! Kwagak!

The demon king used a cracked sword to block my blow, but

His sword broke and he suffered a serious injury to his side.

The demon king was so surprised that he couldn’t even make a sound and sat down…

“Kuh.. Kheheheh.. Don’t you know that there is a saintess behind me?”

As expected…

The demon king still intended to use the saintess.

But…

Suck! Shut up! Shook!

From where Emilia was standing, a short but intense sound was heard…

When I looked there, Karen cut Emilia’s throat a couple of times before she appeared, and then stuck her dagger right into her chest.

And after confirming Emilia’s death, Karen went to Lydia…

The defensive magic that Lydia cast to block Karen’s approach belatedly was,

With Karen’s typical assassin-like movements, he took advantage of the gap and dug in…

The same dagger as Emilia was pierced into Lydia’s chest.

It happened so quickly…

In an instant, the party of two former warriors died, and the surroundings became silent.

Silence also came to the face of the demon king, who had been sarcastic until now and the smile never stopped on his face.

“Asmodeus. Everything is over now.”

I grabbed the holy sword again and headed towards the demon king who was sitting on his knees.

Karen who killed Emilia and Lydia, Kir who was attacked by her demon lord, and even Lucia who healed her come to the demon lord’s side,

I reminded him that everything was over now.

The demon king who was the high priest of Radbod…

His broken demonic sword had become a lump of scrap metal and was scattered on the floor.

He was seriously injured by the holy sword, and was bleeding profusely from his waist.

aaah!!!

He is the demon king who looked at the body of Emilia, who died at the hands of Karen, with a devastated face, and he who has lived as the high priest of Radbod until now…

Became the last death of the holy sword Ascalon and scattered blood around,

Even though the demon king died, none of us here were happy or cheered.

**

Emilia and Lydia were also killed, and the war ended with the death of the demon king who had no hope.

On that day, the imperial army that attacked the kingdom of Argen was killed or captured by the Fior imperial army led by Cecilia.

At the same time, the news of Irene’s victory rang out in the kingdom of Horon, and the tide of war was completely reversed.

Kirna, Karen, and Lucia were able to safely return to the capital without any major injuries.

I also joined the fjord imperial army led by Princess Cecilia to help clean up.

As the late Kirer destroyed all the magic circles that could summon the next demon king, the probability of the demon king appearing immediately decreased like before.

As even the demon king’s army was destroyed by Irene, everything was finally over.

“Yes!? Warrior? Aren’t you going to the royal road?”

After cleaning up at the Camar Fortress, I didn’t head to the capital where Kir, Lucia, and Karen were sent.

Cecilia, who looked at me like that, asked me about my intentions with an incomprehensible expression, but

I didn’t give a specific reason.

“There, not only Princess Clara, but also Kir and Lucia are all waiting… And Irene said that she would arrive soon… You said she wouldn’t go?”

“…..”

If you return to the capital like this, the previous banquet will be held just as it was in the Eritre Empire before.

For me, with the pain of the past, the previous banquets were banquets I did not want to attend.

That’s right, it’s the end…

For me, a hero, it’s as if I’m running out of things to do…

Of course Edwin, Clara, Kir, Lucia, Irene… I don’t think they will betray me.

Just…

I just wanted to watch from behind…

Someday, I will have to go get settled with Edwin, and there will be days when I will drink crystal whiskey as a celebratory drink…

I had to postpone all my schedules and part with Princess Cecilia.

“I don’t know what kind of swearing I will get if I go back alone like this…”

Cecilia seemed worried about what she might hear from Princess Clara and the other women if she left me here…

“Well… It’s not like I don’t understand the hero’s feelings…”

“Sorry.”

“Sorry. What … If that’s what the hero meant, then he can’t help it. But…”

“……?”

“Trust them.”

I know even if Princess Cecilia doesn’t have to say anything.

I know that they won’t betray like former warrior party members…

Just…

I’m just running away in fear…

“Do you have to come to my wedding later?”

“Yes. All right. At that time, I will definitely come to see you no matter what happens.”

Saying her final goodbyes to Cecilia…

I headed to the mountain range where the hut where I used to live, not the royal road, from the Kamar Territory.

**

Returning to the mountains, I again lived the same life as before.

When I open my eyes in the morning, I cut trees to fill the wood I wrote with firewood,

After roughly washing my face, I decide what to do for the day with breakfast…

They lived a self-sufficient life by hunting during the day.

In my busy life, I didn’t even have time to think about the moments I fought against the Demon King’s army and the memories of the ex-hero party, even for a moment.

I’ve been so busy that I can’t even think about Clara, Kir, Lucia, or Irene.

One month to do that…

I had been forgetting everything with no news except for one letter from Edwin in the middle.

The content of the letter from Edwin was only three letters…

Dog. Bird. Talent.

There was no special contact except for a small note with

Written on it.

As a reply, I wrote a reply saying that I would be back soon, asking for some time to organize my thoughts…

There have been no other letters since.

Today, as always, I wasted hunting and descended the mountain naked…

If Edwin had seen this, he would have teased why he couldn’t hunt animals while beating monsters well…

Should I be thankful he’s not here for now?

But…

Almost at the cabin, I had to stop when I saw the smoke coming out of the chimney.

I guessed that someone had entered the cabin, so I collected myself and headed towards the cabin as calmly as possible.

“Are you here? Warrior?”

A woman waiting at the entrance of the cabin…

“Yes. Karen… How have you been?”

“Yes. Come inside. Everyone is waiting.”

“…..Yes.”

I opened the cabin door at Karen’s guidance, and I couldn’t stop talking when I saw the people inside.

“I will bake the bread.”

“What do you say? How long have I been practicing!?”

“Am I better at handling the cookware here?”

Kir and Clara are fighting each other while holding a plate of bread dough, saying they will bake each other.

“Emmummm~♬ Elaim? Would you like to taste this stew?”

Lucia is cooking stew with a large pot on the fireplace in the living room.

“……”

Where did you pick it up…

Irene is squatting and stroking the cat’s head.

“A warrior?”

“Hero!”

“Hero!”

“……”

Starting with Kir, Clara, Lucia, and Irene found me and got up from their seats,

Apologetic, I just stood still, unable to speak to them.

“Hero! Tell Clara to go back to the palace!”

“Hmm? Why me? I’m the one who officially gave permission to marry my brother, the king of this kingdom!”

“Hero! Are you here? Are you in the market? The stew is almost ready to boil, so wash it before coming.”

“……”

The girls didn’t ask me what to do when I suddenly disappeared, they were just talking as usual or fighting each other to welcome me.

Kir, Clara, and Lucia came to me as I stood there, unable to tell if it was a dream or not, and embraced them.

Irene and Karen just looked at us from a distance.

“Welcome… Hero.”

If it was the same as usual, we would have talked to each other to say at least one more word..

Strangely today, Kirman greeted me while Clara and Lucia quietly listened.
