I Ended My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero - Chapter 47
47 – Final Chapter
Thinking about it, I never dreamed that I would have a relationship like this with Nera.
Even when I first met her, she was such an annoying Ner-ah that I really hated…
To be able to promise a lover like this…
It really made me realize that I really don’t know what the world will be like.
But that didn’t mean I couldn’t adapt.
‘Well… I mean. I must have broken up with Laina.’
It’s not once or twice that I’ve been through unexpected things, ever since I broke up with Raina.
Until the point where Raina couldn’t subdue the demon lord.
Because everything happened that I didn’t expect.
It can’t be too late to accept that these are unexpected events.
Besides, I’m going to face the demon king in the future…
Some unexpected things might happen.
‘All the members of Yeocha Yeocha have gathered…’
It’s already been three months since we broke up after arguing with Raina.
Anyway, it seems that all the party members are gathered now.
Nera, Mer, Miner, and Luna, Seria, and Liden. 6 People like this.
In addition, 7 people, including me, probably went to subdue the demon lord like this.
Of course, if we see the right person, we will immediately recruit him, but there won’t be such a person anymore..
Anyway, what I had to do now was very natural.
That was to raise the party members.
“Come on. Come on again.”
“Yes…!”
Three of them, Nera, Mer, and Miner, are skilled party members.
The other three, Luna, Seria, and Liden, had to somehow make me get stronger quickly.
First of all, my top priority right now was that, and I planned to train them.
I was carrying out that plan very diligently.
Luna, Seria, and Liden formed a team and started attacking me.
At first, I was only able to last 5 minutes against myself.
Now that I can match the sum well, I endured for 30 minutes.
It’s half the strength of a hero, but holding out for 30 minutes to me who regained it is something even a first-class adventurer’s party can’t do.
I was a little surprised by their growth.
“Haap!!!”
On top of that, the team’s harmony was quite well matched.
Luna’s secondary magic, Seria and Riden’s pincer attack.
I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t fierce.
After sparring with me for the past few days, it was noticeable that I had grown so much.
“Ugh…”
However, it still lacked a lot.
As an academy student, it was very good, and as an adventurer, it was good enough, but as a warrior party, it was too lacking.
In the party where the world’s best powers gather to defeat the demon king, the warrior party, it was obvious that such skills would still be a nuisance.
Riden and Seria collapsed as soon as I started counterattacking.
I broke through those two and attacked Luna, and Luna fell soon after.
As expected, the gap between me and the three of us was still huge.
I’m sorry about that, but…
But, well, there’s still plenty of time, so there’s no need to be so impatient.
“Enough. That’s it.”
“Whoa…”
“Hmm…”
I told the three of them to take a break, and then the three of them spread out in their seats and enjoyed the rest.
Looks like he’s quite tired. He’s been fighting all these days, and the battle just now wasn’t a particularly intense one, so it’s only natural that he’s stretched out like that.
I left the stretched students behind and sat down on the bench for a while.
“Three years seems to be the limit…”
Three people follow my class very well, but I am grateful to those three people.
Unfortunately, I’m in a bit of a hurry right now.
The Demon King’s army needs maintenance right now, so they don’t attack or do anything like that.
However, the war was not yet over.
You don’t know when the war will start again, and the demon king may come to invade again.
I can’t be uneasy in a situation like that.
A little… No, I was very anxious. I had to raise three people quickly.
Minimum 3 years.
Perhaps my prediction is that the demon king’s army will attack us starting from the third year.
At that point, the Demon King’s army would have had all of his powers in order.
They will start fighting in earnest.
“Hmm… I’ll have to try it until I try.”
Well, let’s think about this.
“Let’s start training again. Everyone wake up.”
“Yes…!”
I was thinking of doing everything I could.

After making the children practice in the morning, it was now the night when the sun went down.
Students are almost in a state of disrepair, probably because they fought all day long.
Seeing these students informed me that today’s class was over.
“Okay. Everyone this far. You’ve worked hard.”
“Yes…!”
With such a tired expression on their faces, everyone finished training and headed to the dormitory.
Faces that look quite weak.
He looked like he would fall asleep as soon as he returned to the dormitory, probably because he had gone through hard training.
“Ugh… I’m pretty tired too.”
Of course, that was the case for me as well.
I was also in the position of dealing with three people at once, and I was the one who had to deal with the growing children.
Of course, it wouldn’t make sense to say that I wasn’t tired. I was having a really hard time right now, and I just wanted to lie down in bed and rest.
But now I had to exert a little more strength.
It was because I had to go back to the dormitory and rest later, and I had very important things to do right now.
The very important thing to do was to gather information.
“Alan…!”
“Nera. You’re here.”
As I was sitting on a bench and resting a bit, Nerah waved at me from a distance.
I also waved and welcomed her.
Because it was she who I was waiting for.
“So did you have a good dungeon?”
“Yes…! S-class dungeon. Nice visit.”
Nera went to the S-class dungeon I asked for, along with Mer and Miner.
There must have been several things.
I was grateful to Nera for safely returning from such a situation.
“And Alan, as you said, there is this.”
And I couldn’t help but thank Nera for bringing me what I wanted.
Nera hands me a book.
I immediately received a book from Nera.
This is exactly the book I was looking for.
“Thank you…!”
From noble mtl dot com
I opened the book and started reading slowly.
Even though Nera is right in front of you, this book contains just as much important information.
I wanted to check it out as soon as possible.
“But… Allan. What is this?”
At that, Nera tilted her head at me.
Anyway, since it’s something I’m very interested in, Nera looked curious about it.
I was asking me, imagining what would be written.
I gave an honest answer to Nera.
“Hmm… It’s written about the purpose and characteristics of the demon king…”
I heard that this book was written about the demon king as the information I got from him when I defeated the Four Heavenly Kings in the past.
Still, I knew that there was a book with information about the demon king… But at that time, I didn’t have to check this book.
Since the victory of the warrior party was already so certain, there was no reason to confirm it.
However, it is different now.
Anyway, it was a situation where power was insufficient, and even one piece of information was valuable to overcome this situation.
Because of this, I couldn’t neglect even this information, and as a result of checking this book, I was able to find out some very surprising facts.
“…”
“Characteristics of the demon king? What is it written on?”
“It is written about the purpose of the demon king.”
What thoughts does the demon king have to slaughter humans?
It was written in great detail about him.
Since ancient times, the reason why demon kings have no choice but to kill humans…
“That… What is that? The purpose of the demon king?”
Nera looked at me in surprise and asked as if she wanted to know as well.
“The purpose of the demon lord is to kill everyone. After doing that, you can make a wish.”
I informed Nera of that.
The demon king’s goal is to simply kill everyone.
That’s the only way your wish will come true.
That’s how it was written in the book.
“Wow… A wish? If I kill everyone, will my wish come true?”
“Maybe…”
“… Do you have all that stuff? Are you sure what’s in that book?”
“Hmm… Honestly, I’d like to believe that’s not really the case here, but…”
Of course, I couldn’t confirm the authenticity of the story.
There is a good chance that this story is false.
However, I don’t think it’s a complete lie.
“If we lose by any chance, it might be a big deal.”
Perhaps, if he really kills all the demon kings, he will be able to make his wish come true.
And that wish is very likely to be a very bad wish for humans.
The reason why I couldn’t lose in many ways was that a lot of people were born.
“…But…”
But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t really understand.
The last time I met the Demon King, I felt that the Demon King’s attitude was slightly different.
Although the Demon King fights against humans, it doesn’t seem like he has any wishes.
On the contrary, it feels like you are enjoying a fight with me…
While fighting me, I felt strongly that I wanted to establish an advantage.
Why the hell does the Demon King show such interest in me?
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it.
“Hmm… Anyway, I’ll have to work hard…”
To be honest, I didn’t know much about this in many ways.
But, you’ll probably find out about this question sooner or later, even if you don’t like it.
What is the purpose of the demon lord and what will the end be like?
