The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken - Chapter 56



56 – ending + epilogue

The battle between me and the demon king finally began.

The fight between the demon king who woke up from the seal and the warrior who sealed the demon king started again.

They really risked their all and fought desperately and desperately.

the battle that took place.

While the battle was being led in a state where it seemed unlikely that a decision would ever come to an end…

The result had to come faster than expected.

“hehehehe…”

At first, the battle was too pushed and one-sided.

But even so, the moment I didn’t give up and stood up.

I had an opportunity, and I desperately held on to it without missing it.

such a result.

outcome of the match.

It was a warrior’s victory.

A bloody hero barely standing on the floor leaning on the holy sword.

He came out victorious in this fight.

“Huh-huh… Jim lost to you again.”

And the demon king, on the contrary, became a loser.

The demon lord lying on the floor, completely battered, she could no longer move.

I gnashed my teeth and kept getting up so as not to lose the battle with the hero, but now it was really at my limit.

In the end, she had no choice but to admit her defeat.

“I lost, but I feel relieved.”

And the face of the demon king who was defeated like that was so relieved.

After being defeated for the first time in his life, he sharpened his sword, but was defeated again.

Her expression wasn’t particularly a look of revenge or despair or frustration.

That feeling that I was satisfied even though it was divided.

It was satisfying to be able to fight this greatest battle not once, but twice.

“Hero. Let me ask you one thing.”

But even so, she couldn’t help but wonder.

The self who had just been defeated by the hero, obviously the difference between pure strength and strength was that he was stronger.

There wasn’t much of a difference from the hero’s side, but it was an unmistakable fact that he was objectively stronger in terms of combat power alone.

But even so, he lost in the end.

“Why did the burden have to be borne by you? Do you know that?”

The reason for this was the demon king, who was still not quite sure.

So the demon king asked the warrior why while lying down, but…

“I don’t know… do you know that…”

The warrior’s answer was simple.

After defeating a demon king stronger than himself, he replied that he did not know.

Even though he had won not once but twice, the warrior replied that he did not know.

“Ha ha… that’s funny.”

At those words, the demon king couldn’t help but laugh.

In a way, he seems arrogant, but in reality, the hero probably doesn’t know why he won.

Even myself, who could not move, could understand that much.

And only now I know for sure.

“You couldn’t lose. Unlike me who enjoys it, you have a sense of desperation. That’s why you win.”

The demon king noticed the difference between the hero and the demon king, why the demon king became a loser and the hero had no choice but to become a winner.

It was, after all, a difference of will, a difference of mindset in battle.

The hero had a sense of desperation, but he himself had no such desperation.

Presence or absence of a precious existence, perhaps that is what determines the outcome of this unknowing battle?

The Demon King inferred like that.

“Cool…”

Whether it’s correct or not, its authenticity will no longer be recognized.

The demon king felt that an anomaly called ‘death’, which had not been seen for thousands of years, had stepped in front of him.

Now, your fight will end here.

It was definitely not a bad fight, and she was quite satisfied.

To her who has been looking for someone who understands her all her life, but has not been able to find it.

This kind of end was, above all else, a valuable defeat, and it had to be a valuable one.

“Hero… I’ll tell you this one thing.”

However, if there is something you still regret.

That would be the end of ‘defeat’.

Right now, at this moment, it was very regrettable for the demon king who left the last.

“Next time Jim will definitely win.”

Despite this, the Demon King had quite a strong sense of pride and desire to compete.

It was regrettable that she would lose to the same opponent twice and leave.

So, the last words she said were, of course, these, and she left those words as last words and disappeared as ashes.

“…yes, you win next time.”

After looking at the scattering ashes for a while, the hero also gave an answer.

he left

“Whoa… 10 years have already passed.”

After the final battle between the demon king and the hero, 10 years have passed.

The demon king disappeared, and the empire became a peaceful world where the demons disappeared.

And for those who survived in such a world, so many things have changed.

“Anastasia rules the empire.”

First, Princess Lecia fell.

The public sentiment went to hell, and when all the nobles supported Anastasia, Lesia could no longer be the next emperor.

She had no choice but to get out of her seat. A leader who was not supported by everyone could not have been an emperor.

She had no choice but to step down, and as a result of coming down, she may have judged that she could no longer be in the Empire.

So she left the Empire.

After that, there were only rumors about what happened to her, but nothing was known.

Some say that he went to the country of elves, and others say that he is living quietly alone in the mountains.

I didn’t bother looking for it because I wasn’t interested in it, but it wouldn’t be a very good ending anyway.

“Antonio and Brudo are living well.”

And my colleagues who were with me, they were able to achieve what they wanted.

As the party members who made a great contribution to the demon lord subjugation.

They were able to receive various guarantees, such as improved treatment for black magic and the right to live for barbarians, and they returned satisfied.

But even so, the distrust of black magic and barbarians that had accumulated deep in the empire was by no means light.

That’s why they say they are still working for them.

“Clara has changed a lot…”

Saint Clara. In a way, I think it is she who has changed the most after 10 years.

To think that the wicked and weak Clara is now known as the Tekken saintess.

When I saw him a while ago, I wondered if it was the same person when I saw him beating down heretics.

Thanks to her, the rotten church was told that the leaders of the rotten church were being ripped off and being repaired.

The presence of a saint like Clara in the leadership of the church, which only tried to take care of their own interests, had a great impact.

Perhaps the church will change a lot sooner or later.

“Trina went to another world.”

And the Demon Trina went to another world.

At first, I wondered if I should defeat the Demon King and confront Trina, but there was no reason to do so.

In the first place, Trina’s purpose was to prove herself, and that was all.

After the demon king died, he didn’t bother to stay in this world, as if he was satisfied.

I opened the dimension and left for another world. Even though I said I didn’t mind being here.

It’s like going on a trip to find the world you belong to…

I saw her 10 years ago and haven’t seen her since.

“With Arne…”

And finally Arne.

My childhood friend and the last member of the warrior party, I returned to the village with her and have been doing well for 10 years.

Marriage, etc. in the process. I did a lot of things, but nothing was that important.

It probably doesn’t matter.

Maybe…

“In the end, I got what I wanted…”

Anyway, peace came to the world, and I was enjoying a leisurely life while looking at the blue sky.

In a way, it was more insignificant than the life of gathering a party of warriors and defeating the demon lord.

In a way, you might think it’s too ordinary, but this was the life I wanted the most.

If so, I may say that I have achieved my purpose very faithfully and perfectly.

I was living a very satisfying life.

“Dad…! Let’s have a swordsmanship match with me!!!”

what would have worked out

While I was thinking that, there was a girl running towards me.

The daughter born to me and Arne, Inie, is a cute daughter who resembles Arne and I.

I had promised to practice swordsmanship with her today, and it was my daily life to play with her like this every day.

“Today I will definitely beat my dad…!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Inie raised a wooden sword and charged at me.

Looking at her like that, I feel that her talent is scary.

It was scary to think that a child who was only 10 years old was already at this level.

visor!

“Ugh… I lost…”

Of course, even so, it still doesn’t work for me…

Even so, if I continue to train diligently like this, maybe I will win against me.

I think that day will come pretty quickly.

“Let’s see. Next time we’ll definitely win.”

Besides, since he has an extraordinary fighting spirit, I am sure he will win against me.

It seemed like he had a bit of an obsession with winning against me, just like the demon king back then.

“Hmm…”

no way…?

“What are you thinking, Dad?”

“no.”

An anxious thought passed through me for a moment.

Maybe the demon king reincarnated as my child or something like that…

Of course, that couldn’t be the case.
