I Ended My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero - Chapter 42



42 – Tryst with the Demon King

This isn’t the first time I’ve been to the Demon Castle.

The former warrior party before the warrior party. When running that warrior party.

I stopped by the demon castle, and I remember facing the demon king at that time.

“It’s been a while here…”

I was kind of glad because of it, but it didn’t really feel like a pleasure.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t afraid of the cool energy I felt.

Because I also had the experience of being robbed like a dog while facing the demon king.

The time was when he was fighting Gartos, the Four Heavenly Kings.

At that time, it was before the demon king was resurrected.

We invaded the Demon Castle to stop the Four Heavenly Kings from attempting to revive the Demon King…

Even though they defeated the Four Heavenly Kings, unfortunately, the resurrection of the Demon King could not be delayed.

The Demon King was resurrected and wiped out our party.

Still, with the blessing of the warrior, I remember taking all the party members alive.

There, imprinting how powerful and fearsome the demon king is, I reorganized the warrior party and pushed the demon king army as a strategy rather than strength.

But the fortunate thing was that the demon king could not come out of the demon castle.

Of course, even so, the demon king’s resurrected demon army would be much stronger than the human side, but I, who had already paid the price severely, did not let my guard down.

I almost destroyed the demon king’s army without the demon king.

All four kings have been killed, and there is no other demon in the Demon Realm except for the Demon Castle.

The reason I can freely come and go in and out of the Demon World is because of that.

A situation where only the Demon King can be defeated like that.

In that situation, I gathered really great colleagues and prepared to defeat the demon king…

Why did this result come out?

I believed in the real Raina, but all my efforts were in vain.

“Hoo… Are you going to stay alive?”

Still, I can’t keep blaming others.

When I could turn back, I had to turn around, and when I could, I had to do it.

Therefore, I was thinking of saving Miner.

I infiltrated the dark castle.

Infiltrated into a dog hole other than the main gate, quietly killing presence and mana.

I prepared to tear the return scroll right away if something happened, and I searched the inside of the castle in that state.

“It’s nice to see you after a long time.”

For anyone to see, my situation was extremely dangerous.

I know that too, and I don’t know how reckless I am.

But even so, I had to save Miner.

The person I’m trying to save now, the thief of the warrior’s party, Miner.

No matter how you think about it, there were so many reasons to save Miner.

If you save her even at the risk of this, it will be of great help to her in the future.

In the first place, as she was chosen by me as a warrior party in the past, of course her ability is beyond imagination compared to ordinary people.

Even though the 1:1 combat ability was seriously lacking compared to other warrior parties, there were too many strengths to make up for that weakness.

Finding traps, dealing with rubbish mobs, disrupting, etc., He was a great companion who made it much easier for party members to fight.

I think it would have been very gloomy if Miner died like that…

At the point where Elina and Andros died, it was good news that Miner was still alive.

I’m planning to save Miner this time and put it in the warrior’s party again.

“You must be holding the money? The money you stole from me…”

And there’s another reason, and that’s because they stole money from me.

I haven’t forgotten that. How and how hard did I collect it… How dare you steal that money?

We had to pay a fair price for a cat that easily steals people’s lifelong sweat and blood.

“Where is it anyway?”

I began to feel Miner’s magical power.

Since a while ago, Miner’s magic has been pouring out.

Even though it’s such a weak mana, it was an unmistakable rescue signal.

As if announcing that he was here, his mana continued to flow out.

But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t strong magic.

It was magic that you couldn’t feel unless you concentrated.

I felt it because I, who received the blessing of the hero, became sensitive under its influence.

Actually, if it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have felt it.

“Hmm… It’s here…”

Anyway, I arrived at a place where I can feel Miner’s magic…

However, this was a dead end.

It is certain that Miner is at the end of the hallway on the 1st floor of the Devil Castle, but there was no way.

That’s why I started to grope around and find my way out beyond…

Dr.

I pushed the wall as a test and found a staircase leading to the basement.

Perhaps Miner was here.

I went straight down to the basement.

“hehehehe…”

And I was able to find Miner crying in a corner of the prison.

@ @ @

The thief of the warrior party, Miner.

She couldn’t help but shed tears in this situation.

The party of warriors has been destroyed, her comrades have died, and she herself is stuck in a prison.

No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t get a good feeling.

“Huh… I’m sure… They’re trying to eat me…”

She saved her life once, but she didn’t understand why she lived on her own.

Why the hell is he saving himself? I’ve been thinking like that

So many bad thoughts came to my mind.

Torturing yourself…

Or use it as food…

If that’s not the case… The demons’ castle…

No matter how much I thought about it, nothing but a terrible future was drawn.

“I… Did something wrong…”

At this moment, of course, Miner felt unfair.

Does she have to suffer like this because she did something wrong?

I just stole a little money from others like a thief… I didn’t do anything other than that.

And he even stole it with compassion.

She never stole viciously, even paying off her debts like her own sister.

So this was so unfair.

Why did she have to go through such terrible things herself?

“If only… I died…”

I’d rather die.

If you just die cleanly, that won’t happen.

I won’t accept anything worse than dying…

“Huh…”

He couldn’t help but cry while imagining the horrors.

While she was shedding tears.

Her hope came to her as well.

“Huh… Is this Rina…?”

The energy felt from above, not from the basement where you are now.

That was the hero of the warrior party, Raina.

Rina had just come to the Demon Castle.

“I… To save me…!?”

At that fact, Miner’s hopes, which had been almost extinguished, flared up.

Raina came to save herself.

Because of that, he was fighting the demon lord with his companions.

“Lina… Cheer up…!”

That’s why Miner cheered for Raina.

She hoped that please defeat the demon king and save herself.

She thought that if that was the case, she would… She would be grateful enough to give away all her possessions…

But…

“Uh… Uh…?”

Hope gradually faded.

Lina’s magical power gradually ran out.

On the contrary, the demon lord’s magic has become much stronger than before.

“This… Can’t be like this…”

I didn’t want to admit it.

However, she gradually had to admit it.

She didn’t want to imagine that Raina had come looking for her, but that she would lose again… She didn’t want to imagine.

But, either way, Laina’s magical power gradually faded…

She finally realized.

Raina was defeated by the Demon King.

“No…”

Laina’s magic disappeared after that.

I don’t know exactly whether she died or ran away, but Miner doesn’t know what this situation means to her.

She said that she could not be saved.

“This is… What is this…”

She

She thought that at best she could be saved.

Why give her hope and trample like this?

She wouldn’t have felt this much more hopeless if she hadn’t given her hope…

She became even more resentful.

“Huhhhhh…”

So she couldn’t help but shed tears. She

She thought she wouldn’t cry anymore.

In exchange for a little hope, she tasted even greater despair.

Miner cried in prison for a long time.

In the meantime.

Her hope really came to her.

“It’s been a while. Miner.”

In the dark dungeon, he heard the voice of a man greeting him.

Miner raised her head and looked at the man and…

I was able to figure out who the man was.

Alan was a former colleague of the warrior party.

“Huh… I missed Alan.”

Miner cried out loud.

@ @ @

“Huh… I missed Alan.”

Miner looked at me and cried.

It seemed like I was quite happy.

Seeing that, I was also very happy to be honest.

‘It’s nice to meet you. You sh*t cat b*tch.’

This is the b*tch who stole my money.

I think I would be very sad if that b*tch just died.

It wouldn’t make sense if I wasn’t happy to meet you alive like this.

To be honest, I was overjoyed that I could avenge my blood from now on.

But before that, there was work to be done.

“For now, Miner stop crying and tear this with your mouth.”

“Is this a return scroll…?”

“Okay. Let’s go back and talk.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes…”

I placed the scroll of return in Miner’s mouth, whose limbs were tightly bound.

And Miner tore the return scroll with tears in his eyes.

Miner was able to escape from here.

“Okay, mission accomplished…”

Seeing that Miner left, I also took out another return scroll.

It’s time for me to escape, too. I rescued Miner, so I had nothing to do here anymore.

That’s why I was about to tear the return scroll like that.

Tumble.

I felt a huge energy walking towards this place.

“Ohh… I looked to see who came to Jim’s castle and it was you… Long time no see. Alan.”

“Demon King…”

It was the Demon King.
