chapter 15
15 – Scheduled Despair [Unsealed Demon King] – 4
“…”
The party of warriors who entered the castle of demons actually didn’t worry too much.
It was because it was just a matter of defeating the sealed demon lord.
I thought it was a very simple thing, as soon as I broke the seal of the demon king, I defeated him with an all-out attack, and then returned to the empire leisurely.
But.
‘What… what is this… this ridiculous, dreary aura…’
The closer they got to the throne where the demon king was, the more they felt uneasy for some reason.
As if it never happened, it changed from a light heart to a heart that feels too heavy and heavy.
His body instinctively refused to go to the throne.
It didn’t feel like magic or strong energy.
Just, just an ominous aura.
That ominous energy alone made everyone frightened.
‘What the hell…?’
I felt as if I was screaming, please, get out of here.
Please turn around when you can…
It seemed like they were threatening as if it was their last chance, saying that if they went any further, there would be only despair.
I don’t know why I’m feeling this feeling, but I’m sure this wasn’t a feeling I felt alone.
It was a feeling that everyone in the party felt together even without saying a word.
“Huh…Huh…”
And in that silence, the one who reacted the most was the saintess, Clara.
The ominous feeling that everyone was receiving, although he just didn’t show it.
Clara didn’t know how to not express herself.
The saintess Clara had a lively smile until just now, but she couldn’t smile like that anymore.
She had long since forgotten the liveliness in her expression.
With a terrified face, he spat out a weak sound at the party members.
The closer I got to the throne, the more I had no choice but to sit down faithfully to my instincts.
She expressed a lot of rejection in her ominous mood.
“Um… is it really right to break the seal over there?”
And, Diane went to Clara’s side and patted her.
And then I had no choice but to ask the rest of the party.
Is this really true… Will you continue to move forward even after feeling this gloomy energy?
I had no choice but to ask.
She, too, couldn’t help but wonder if this situation was right.
“Bird… Come to think of it, we don’t know anything about the demon lord… What if I break the seal and become a terrible demon lord?”
Elf warriors are brave. Diane was also a proud warrior of the elves.
But the creepy energy was enough to make her a coward.
No matter how much I thought about it, this didn’t seem like it.
A demon lord with such a terrifying aura must have been a very terrible demon lord.
“…”
After hearing Diane’s words, the party members couldn’t say anything.
Because they felt the same way as Clara.
I couldn’t confirm or deny it, I just thought about it.
“Bill, you’re the leader. What are you going to do?”
In that situation, of course, I couldn’t help but pay attention to Bill.
Because he was a warrior who could make a decision now.
‘Hmm… Is the demon king really strong?’
Of course, it wasn’t that Bill wasn’t thinking.
He was now realizing the seriousness of the situation.
Could it be that the demon king is far stronger than he expected? I also heard such concerns.
If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t be able to exude such a dreary aura.
He also had a keen sense of intuition that something might turn out to be a big deal if he did something wrong.
‘Hmm… I can’t go back… Then the plan to become my emperor…’
To be honest, he wanted to go back too.
However, it was a situation where it was impossible to retreat.
He had already gone so far as to subdue the demon lord on the continent, but if he returned now, his plan would completely fail.
It is safe to say that the possibility of him aiming for the emperor again completely disappeared.
His reputation will probably fall to the ground.
“Hmm…”
Because of this, Bill had no choice but to worry.
About whether I should put everything down now and run away or defeat the Demon King.
“Let’s see and decide. It doesn’t matter as long as we don’t break the seal anyway.”
After thinking about it for a while, the conclusion Bill came to was to see it first and decide.
The Demon King is currently sealed, and cannot pose any threat to the warrior party anyway.
So I just had to look and judge.
“If you don’t think it’s real, let’s go back.”
Bill doesn’t know that life is the most important thing.
I might not be able to become emperor, but shouldn’t I live for the time being?
He was well prepared to change his mind.
But it won’t be too late to decide after seeing the sealed demon lord.
Bill persuaded his colleagues, and they nodded their heads.
As long as you can see it, it doesn’t matter at all.
“…”
That’s how they continued to walk to the place where the demon king was, suppressing the eerie energy they felt as much as possible.
Finally, I faced the demon king who was sealed in front of the black throne.
“her…”
And the reaction of the party members facing the demon king.
They relaxed from their tense faces, unaware that they had been terrified until now.
The appearance of the sealed demon king, that appearance was not at all like a demon king.
“Somehow… I think this is the demon king, right?”
“Isn’t it? Are you worried for nothing?”
“Wow… pretty…!”
Long white hair, fair skin, and a beautiful appearance in a black dress.
Although it had horns and wings, the woman trapped in the crystal was quite beautiful.
Sculptures, handicrafts, works of art, if you look at them from that point of view, it must have been something great.
The demon woman trapped in the crystal eye was undoubtedly very beautiful.
“What…? Is this the devil?”
However, as a demon king, her evaluation was too low.
The demon king did not have a huge body or sharp tentacles.
Not to mention, they didn’t have hard fingernails and toenails, and they didn’t even have weapons like swords.
The appearance of a slender demonic woman who really has nothing to pose a threat to.
Even that was just that much with horns and wings that didn’t seem particularly useful in battle.
Can you have the feeling of fear when you see such a devil?
Absolutely not.
“Well, there was no need to worry.
The anxiety just had to disappear.
If at first sight he was a terrifying demon king, he would have been prepared to give up everything.
Seeing such a demon king, I felt a surge of courage.
It’s like a lie to say that I was terrified until now.
It was just rain.
‘What is Lag really doing after barely sealing a demon king like this?’
Rather, it was a laughing matter.
When I looked at the ancient literature, there were so many demon kings who looked really frightening.
Some Demon Kings boasted huge bodies, while others had bodies harder than steel.
Also, a certain demon lord was a swordsman wielding a demonic sword.
Compared to that demon lord, the demon lord right in front of me was really poor.
It seemed to be the weakest of all the demon kings.
The hero of the previous generation, who could barely seal such a demon king, was pathetic.
“Now. The operation proceeds as planned.”
Well, it won’t matter anyway.
It was about a demon king like that. All I had to do was quickly unseal it, get rid of it, and go.
Bill looked at his colleagues and said lightly, and they also nodded.
“Drek, now prepare to break the seal.”
First, Drek, he prepared to unseal the demon king.
The sealing magic that the warrior poured all his strength into and completed. It was a magic that ordinary people would never be able to break.
As the owner of the mage tower, he was able to solve it sufficiently.
Drek listened to the warrior, began to analyze the crystal, and as he began to cast a spell.
Crystal fragments began to fall one by one.
“And everyone hits the strongest hit as soon as the seal is broken.”
“yes.”
“I’ll try my best…!”

Meanwhile, the hero and the rest of the party prepared to attack.
The hero held the holy sword high and loaded the power of light.
The elf Diane aimed at the demon lord with her bowstring pulled to its maximum.
And Saint Clara prayed and amplified the power of the two.
“Okay. Now it unlocks in 5 seconds.”
The preparation is absolutely perfect.
When Drek unlocks the seal like that, there is no gap to be seen.
Defeat the demon king who has been released from the seal in one shot.
This was their winning plan.
“Now…! Now.”
Kwak Kwa Kwak! Kwak!
That winning plan worked well.
As soon as the crystal was released, their attack hit the Demon King directly.
There was a huge explosion and dust.
The maximum power that can be exerted on party members.
Its power was truly terrifying.
“Is it…?”
So, of course, he must have defeated the Demon King.
The warrior party waited for the dust to disappear and to see the fallen demon king.
However, there was no fallen demon king.
“What… what is…?”
Tumble.
Rather, the sound of calm footsteps in the dust.
Eventually, after the dust was completely cleared, the Demon King appeared.
“No… nonsense.”
Seeing the demon king’s appearance, the party members couldn’t help but be astonished.
The skills they hit with maximum power.
The demon king in front of me had no scratches even after being hit with those attacks.
In a really unbelievable situation…
When there is only silence mixed with frustration.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen your face. Who are you?”
Only then did the warriors party feel a primal fear.
