The Hero Party Couldn’t Kill Me - Chapter 92



Chapter 14: The Last Battle (2)

‘Why does that guy… !’

The moment Edmund grabbed his holy sword, Leviathan made a dejected expression.

Damn Goddess. Why are you making an exception only for this case? Since the previous demon king was resurrected, why don’t you give the holy sword to the previous hero?

Or… Is it like that? Because this body, strictly speaking, is not the original body of the previous demon king? Is that why you went to the most powerful Edmund?

Either way, Leviathan’s plan was seriously twisted this time. She was troubled after retrieving her magic sword.

She considered negotiating, but she immediately dismissed it. She had already failed to persuade her even at the Mage Tower. But she pushed him to the brink of killing her, and now she offers to negotiate again?

Edmund is not an idiot to fall for that either.

‘… Is it a head-to-head match after all?’

The most unwanted scenario. But she had no other options.

‘For now, let’s think about it after killing him.’

Considering that he had just recovered, he created several magic circles around Edmund that could cast restraint spells.

But Edmund noticed right away and got out of the magic circle field.

Quarrr

He even fired lightning magic in the middle of it.

I hurriedly blocked it with a shield, but his lightning, strengthened by obtaining the Holy Sword, pierced the shield.

A startled Leviathan fell to the ground unable to maintain his levitation magic for a moment.

She stood up unscathed by the power of her demon lord, but Edmund charged at her before she had time to gather her spirits.

Chae-ae-ae-aeeng!!!

The magic sword spontaneously blocked Edmund instead of Leviathan.

Coming to his senses, Leviathan picked up the magic sword replica and began to use cloning magic while the magic sword bought time.

Shuuu…….

In an instant, 10 demonic swords were floating around her.

Of course, since they were all copies, I couldn’t hit Edmund with an effective hit, but I’m sure I could distract Edmund’s concentration.

Edmund also made a puzzled expression when 10 magic swords suddenly flew.

He stepped back and began to slash the fake demon swords that were attacking him one by one.

Edmund knew it too. That only one of those demonic swords could land an effective hit on him.

But the body never reacted that way. Involuntarily, I was just bouncing it over and over again.

Chae Ae Aeng!! Chae Ae-Aeng!!!

A metallic sound rang out, and in the midst of it, the Leviathan rose into the air again.

In this situation, it would be difficult for her to even get close to Leviathan.

When this frustrating situation repeats itself.

Teeing!!!

A fake magic sword struck Edmund’s body. It was a demonic sword that he had not been able to block, but as soon as it hit his body, it bounced back.

Owing to this realization, Edmund put down the Holy Sword. And he allowed the fake demon swords to run at him.

Of course, there was one real demon sword among them, but I was able to predict what it was because I had been following the real demon sword with my eyes from earlier.

Teeing!! Teeing!!!

With a sound like being blocked by a glass wall, all the fake demonic swords were thrown out. A real demonic sword was flying behind him….

Wow!!!

At the right timing, Edmund struck back with the holy sword. The magic sword’s trajectory was completely twisted and moved to a strange place.

Leviathan’s expression was distorted. Edmund tried to fire the lightning magic again, but this time Leviathan received the lightning magic as it was.

Her movements seemed to stiffen for a moment, but that was it. She was fine again.

Edmund realized that the battle would not end unless he flew directly into the air. It was difficult to wish for the same luck as before.

‘This is what happened. I also pilot it remotely.’

At this, Edmund gathered his strength for a while after raising the holy sword in the air. Leviathan looked at her and her expression hardened.

‘Please.’

Edmund fired the holy sword. The holy sword flew towards Leviathan with the sound of tearing through the air. Leviathan didn’t lose either and fired her demonic sword at the holy sword.

The Demon King and the Hero were still, and only the Demon Sword and the Holy Sword were busy moving in the air. Leviathan also mobilized fake demonic swords to press the Holy Sword, but the holy sword escaped the pressure of the fake demonic swords and soared high into the sky before being launched toward Leviathan like a rocket.

The magic sword changed the trajectory of the holy sword with a short distance.

‘I… I’m being pushed back?’

Leviathan thought as he glared at Edmund. Of course, because she controlled all 10 of her magic swords at once, there were some lack of control, but even taking that into account, Edmund’s remote control exceeded expectations.

It was also an unfair world. Why do aliens learn so quickly? She bit her teeth.

She then turned her head and looked at her princess. Meanwhile, she and her bodyguard watched all of this.

Now is the time to use them.

“Quickly give the order to attack Edmund! Otherwise, the contract will be considered broken!”

Meanwhile, an annoyed Leviathan pressured her princess because things didn’t work out according to her own will.

Her princess looked at her own Imperial Guard. If they had the same heart, they were like chimneys wanting to attack Leviathan, but they couldn’t disobey her princess’ orders because they all signed an oath of allegiance with her princess.

The moment they resist, they will lose all abilities or die.

“… Sorry.”

Likewise, the princess also spoke while shedding tears of blood.

“Help Leviathan kill Edmund.”

At this, the imperial guards tried to grab Edmund’s ankles with crumpled expressions.

Of course, their attacks couldn’t give you an effective hit, but instead, you could limit his actions with debuffs and control magic, including binding magic.

Edmund sighed as he looked at the imperial guards surrounding him by teleportation.

Even if you control the holy sword with all your might, you’re barely on par with Leviathan, so you have to deal with them on the ground?

‘Should I kill the princess….’

Edmund looked at the princess from the very top of her palace looking down at her.

But when he saw the princess avoiding her gaze while looking at Edmund, his desire to kill him disappeared.

From noble mtl dot com

After all, she’s forced to sign a contract with Leviathan to help.

‘… I can’t help it.’

First of all, the moment he decided to subdue the imperial guards surrounding him.

“Kooooo!!!”

Suddenly, a black dragon roared and rose from under his shadow.

With that momentum, her imperial guards retreated behind her, and at the same moment someone pulled her under her shadow.

And Edmund rose again, a little far from the guards.

“Whoa, you idiot.”

Mina looked at Edmund pitifully and said.

“Why are we fighting alone when we have guards for Daeshinjeon?”

“… Who is the saintess?”

“Are there only sorcerers in this vast empire, Rafaela and I? I asked Magnus.”

When Edmund looked back, Raphaella and several wizards from the Noir Magic Tower were standing there. Raphaella smiled at the holy sword hovering around Edmund.

In terms of numbers, they are outnumbered. However, given Mina’s strength, who is specialized in combat, and the condition of the Royal Guard, whose morale had fallen to the bottom, it seemed that she would be able to fight evenly enough.

Uhhhhh….

At that time, Leviathan unexpectedly fired demonic swords at Edmund.

Pabababababababat!!!

However, the holy sword swept through the demonic sword troops for a long time, disrupting their trajectory. Only one real magic sword flew while maintaining its trajectory, but Edmund had already disappeared with Mina.

When the magic sword unit reorganized and Edmund captured it, it was after the holy sword blocked the demon sword again.

While the demonic and holy swords were fighting again, Edmund spoke to Mina.

“I will ask you one favor.”

“What?”

“Those people are forced to fight because of the contract. Don’t kill me.”

“… Pretending to be nice to the end.”

Mina smiled bitterly and nodded her head.

And Edmund again focused on fighting Leviathan.

***

The princess looked down at the battle from the top of the palace.

Edmund made up his mind again and was fighting Leviathan. One of his holy swords was fighting on an equal footing between the 10 magic swords of Leviathan.

On the ground, Mina was escorting Edmund, and the royal guards were busy dealing with the wizards of the Noir Magic Tower who had invaded instead of them.

In terms of numbers, they had an advantage, but because they were fighting without enthusiasm, their skills were not showing up.

The princess sat down and thought.

She was already aware. No matter which way this fight ends, she will never rule her empire.

If Leviathan wins, he will have to live as her servant for the rest of his life, and if Edmund wins, he will be held accountable for fighting with Leviathan now.

The Imperial Guard won’t be as loyal to her as before. What’s the point of keeping her because of her contract?

The princess looked at Edmund again.

She sentenced him to her death, and he gladly came to her rescue as she was in her peril. As a result, she would have died if she had not awakened as a hero.

I looked at Duke Perry, who had become a cold corpse. And hardened her heart.

The time has come to do what should have been done a long time ago.

“… Looks like we need more troops.”

The princess said quietly. Leviathan turned her head away.

“Yes! Call more! Gather everyone here!”

When Leviathan gave her order, the princess took out her second crystal ball hidden in her subspace.

And she called everyone she could reach.

“Everyone. Are you listening?”

Because it was the princess’ contact, most of the nobles were contacted right away. The imperial guards, who were only busy defending her, also heard her voice and looked up at her.

The princess looked at Leviathan and said in a trembling voice.

“Destroy the demon king Leviathan with the hero Edmund.”

“You dare… !”

She Belatedly grasped her situation, Leviathan tried to stop her, but it was too late.

As if they had waited, the royal guards began to attack Leviathan.

As a punishment for breaking her contract, the princess began to feel burning pain all over her body. With tears in her eyes, she said her last words.

“Please protect the empire from the demon king.”

Then he slammed her crystal ball on the floor and broke it.
