The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken - Chapter 54



54 – formed

“No. You’re going to attack right now?”

Two people who seemed quite surprised by my words.

The warlock Antonio and the savage warrior Brudo, they asked me again with puzzled expressions.

He looked at me with an expression of complete disbelief as to whether he would really attack right now.

‘I must have seemed a little impatient?’

Apparently, the two new colleagues in front of me are looking at me and surely feeling that my remarks are out of the blue.

I’m fully aware of that too. But even so, my opinion has not changed.

It was the best time to attack now.

“Yes. We must make a decision now.”

In fact, if you think about it, the most important thing in this war against the demons was me.

It’s a situation where the end comes only when I defeat the demon lord, which means that my current situation and the demon lord’s current situation are so important.

If that’s the case, now is the right time.

“Now the demon king is in a weakened state, don’t give him any more time.”

When I saw her before, shortly after the existence of the demon king was released from the seal, I felt strongly that she had definitely weakened.

I know very well how much the demon king’s power was originally, but when I met him at that time, he was not the demon king I knew.

She was in a fairly weakened state now, and it must mean that she hasn’t fully recovered from the seal I did yet.

And that would be the case even now, just a few months later.

That vast amount of mana would never be easily replenished.

So now was the right time.

“As time passes, it will be difficult to defeat the demon king.”

It was clear that the longer it took, the more dangerous it became.

For me who knows how strong that demon lord is.

Also, since I don’t know how many forces are hidden behind that power, I had to solve this problem as quickly as possible.

Speed battle, this was the strategy we needed so much and we had to do now.

“Hmm…”

Antonio and Brudo’s reaction to my words like this.

They looked a little embarrassed.

I guess I didn’t think it would come in so quickly.

But.

“Okay. If the hero says so.”

“Me. Barbarian warrior Brudo. Rather, that’s what I wished for.”

Soon, Antonio nodded and agreed to my proposal.

And when he thought about it again, the barbarian Brudo agreed with me, as if it wasn’t bad for him.

“Then, as soon as we are ready, we will attack right away.”

I gave them a slightly spleen smile and made up my mind.

The moment I was about to stand up.

“Lag!!!”

A really unexpected person appeared to me.

A woman with golden hair and a bit of a rough look, but she’s pretty much crying right now.

She was my childhood friend, Arne.

Arne spotted me from afar, and as soon as he saw me, he rushed at me.

“Huh…? Why are you here?”

To be honest, I was glad to see my childhood friend after a long time.

I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t see Arne the other day when I stopped by the village, but I felt like I’d seen him for the first time in a while.

It wasn’t a bad relationship, so from my point of view, Arne couldn’t be happier.

However, the first thing I felt was that I was glad that I was happy and that I was embarrassed in this situation.

To meet by chance like this, can such a coincidence happen?

I was first surprised by such a coincidence.

‘Umm… I shouldn’t find out that I’m a hero?’

The second was that I couldn’t help but be surprised by my current situation.

Right now, when I was about to attack the demon lord, of course, Arne was completely unaware that I was a hero.

In this situation, if I was found out that I was a hero, it would be quite awkward.

So, I have to somehow get over this situation, how to explain this situation to Arne and send her back.

The moment I was going out with a little vague thought.

“Why didn’t you tell me…! You’re a hero.”

Surprisingly, Arne seemed to know a lot.

She already knew that I was a warrior.

“…? how did you know?”

what…? where did you get it from?

I asked Arne with a slightly absurd expression.

It seemed like he knew that I was a warrior, probably because someone had heard of it.

But who? I couldn’t help but wonder if that was the case.

It’s not like there aren’t many people who know that I’m a warrior.

At least among the people Arne can meet, no one will ever know that I am a hero.

For what purpose could anyone tell Arne that I was a hero?

I asked Arne about it.

“Your master told me…”

It was only then that I realized who had told Arne.

It seemed that my master, probably the grandfather, had informed Arne of this.

“They told me to train me too.”

And the purpose of saying that was nothing other than the purpose of training Arne.

Maybe it’s to make it full force so that it can help me.

“Do something useless…”

In fact, the last time I visited the village, I felt a little uneasy when I saw Arne, who was invisible.

I guess this was the source of that anxiety… I couldn’t help but get annoyed at my master for doing something useless.

Why do I make the person I need to protect fight for no reason? It was a real headache.

“hehehe… Then am I also a warrior’s party now? Maybe I’ll be of some help?”

Unlike me, Arne seemed very happy about this situation.

Is it because of the idea of joining the warrior party? Or is it because he got stronger? Or is it because he can help me, his childhood friend?

I don’t know exactly about him, but one thing is certain: Arne will be of great help.

‘It must be strong…’

Originally, Arne’s talent was overflowing enough that I can vouch for it.

As I watched her magic training from the side, there were a few parts that I was slightly impressed with.

If such an Arne learns from the master I learned from, it will undoubtedly be of great help to the military.

How Master teaches, and how much perfection can be achieved when one is taught that way.

I know that all too well because I also learned under that master.

It might be able to produce as much power as the black magician Antonio or the barbaric warrior Brudo.

Maybe even more is possible.

It was obvious that having him as a colleague would be of great help.

“Arne. I’m sorry, but no matter what Master told you, just go back. This is not your place.”

But I don’t think I’ll accept it either.

Again, Arne falls into the category of people I have to protect.

It was very, very unpleasant for me to see Arne fighting like that.

So I told Arne to go back…

“no…!”

As expected, Arne didn’t seem to listen to me.

“Even if I use force, I will join the warrior party.”

At any moment, Arne is starting to radiate magical energy in the middle of the empire.

It seemed that her will was very firm.

I noticed that he would follow me unconditionally, even if he had to mess with me here and now.

“Ehh…”

Looking at Arne like that, I sighed.

If he said that he would come in like a desperate fight like this, he would have felt quite tired after all.

Because of that, I had no choice but to accept it in the end.

‘Even if we fight, there’s no point.’

Of course, it wasn’t that I couldn’t beat Arne.

It was a win win, but if a useless accident occurred in the process, it was inevitable that the invasion of the demon king would be delayed in many ways.

It was the situation I least hoped for.

You can’t lose your original purpose because of a fight like this.

So you just have to accept it.

“Instead, you must follow my instructions unconditionally. If there is danger, run away unconditionally.”

I’ll accept it for now and make it as safe as possible to fight.

At least you can protect yourself by yourself.

I learned from Master, so there’s no way I can’t do that much.

After giving Arne a few precautions, I eventually accepted her.

“okay…!”

Arne finally released his magic and withdrew his hostility.

And she smiled like she was genuinely happy.

“Now… Anyway, let’s start now.”

There were happenings in many ways, but the time has finally come to see the end.

Win or lose, the end will be right in front of your nose.

My colleagues and I immediately prepared to leave for the Devil Castle.

Demon King at that time.

A soldier from the Demon Army, who was standing guard at the castle, hurriedly ran to the castle.

And he informed the demon king, who was loftily sitting on the throne to pass the time, of the current situation.

“Demon King. There’s a big problem. Now, a group of warriors are coming to the Demon Castle.”

The fact that the current hero Rag is coming to the castle of demons with a party of warriors.

The fact was reported to the demon king.

“Are you finally?”

Hearing that, the demon king finally threw off his bored expression and smiled.

The demon lord who stood up from her throne, she let out a very pleasant laugh.

“I can finally see you.”

As if something had finally come.

As if the expected main dish had arrived.

She was looking forward to it.
