chapter 20
20 – Predestined Despair [Elf] – 9
The current situation where the warrior party was defeated by the demon king.
Bill just wanted to run away from the demon king to the haven of death.
I wanted to solve the current situation by giving up everything and just dying.
“Keep… Kkeaaa!!!”
However, as if he dared to accept even death from himself, the demon king did not allow even that.
Now, he cannot even go to death without the permission of the Demon King.
Literally everything, including death, was ruled by the demon king, who suffered infinitely in eternal hell without dying.
Such a terrible time continued.
“Is it already broken?”
And hours passed. Bill didn’t respond any more.
Obviously, the Demon King would have saved him perfectly, his body was no different compared to before, but his mind was not.
His mind has worn out as it wears out, and has been ground as it should be replaced.
I couldn’t stand it any longer.
In fact, Bill, who had the qualities of a warrior, was not weak in spirit. That’s why his mind didn’t wear out for hours.
If it were another normal human being, he might have gone out of his mind long before the 10th death.
“Tsk… I was expecting you to entertain Jim a little more…”
However, none of that mattered to the Demon King.
Seeing Bill no longer responding, the demon king just clicked his tongue as if he was pitiful.
Like a child who handles a toy violently and then loses his temper when the toy breaks…
The Demon King looked down at Bill and clicked his tongue in a pitiful way.
“Hmm… After all, if you keep it alive, it’ll be useful.”
And as she was about to dispose of the now useless toy, her hand had to stop.
If you think about it objectively, Bill was quite strong.
Of course, there was no doubt that she was a fairly weak hero compared to her, the demon king, but it was clear that he was not a hero that Bill would ignore.
Even the Demon King acknowledged this to some extent.
I’m sure it’ll come in handy someday if you keep it.
Is there any reason to kill such a useful material?
Of course not.
She was not a being who took the position of demon king solely through strength.
The resourcefulness of using something was also her strength, so she decided to keep Bill alive for use someday.
“Kkeuk.”
Of course it’s obvious how it will be used…
The demon king smiled unpleasantly, and then stretched out his hand.
When she reached out, a magic circle was drawn from under Bill.
And something like a black shadow came out of the magic circle and started dragging Bill away.
Bill slowly disappears under the magic circle, and soon he is completely dragged under the shadows.
“Hmm, the hero has been dealt with.”
Slowly everything was sorted out now.
The party of warriors who came in to wake up and kill the demon king, they were defeated before the power of the demon king.
The wizard died as soon as the battle started, the saintess was frightened by the demon king and ran away, and the warrior was captured as the demon king’s puppet.
“You are the only one left.”
The last thing left was an elf lying in the distance.
The demon king looked at the elf who was still fainting in the distance, and then walked towards it.
To deal with the remaining elves.
“…? Wow!”
again and again.
As the demon king slowly approached, the elf had no choice but to wake up.
The vicious life that the demon lord spews out, that life is approaching, but there was no living creature that could continue to fall asleep.
Sensitive from the beginning, she was immediately awakened by the devil’s energy and was greatly surprised.
“Mah… Demon King!!!”
However, he soon corrected himself.
Because this situation was still a battle situation.
I was unconscious because I had fainted, but I remembered clearly what was going on.
‘Oh… I was fainting…’
Until recently, she was fighting with the warrior party to defeat the Demon King.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Maybe the other warrior party members were fighting hard while you were fainting right now?
I had to help them right away. I couldn’t cause a nuisance with fainting anymore. I had to come to my senses and help my colleagues.
With that in mind, Diane showed her will to fight as she aimed her bowstring at the demon lord.
Her eyes were once again filled with the will to fight.
However, as soon as I looked around, I couldn’t help but wonder a little.
‘yes…? That… but where did all the other colleagues go?’
As she was aiming at the demon king and trying to continue the temporarily suspended battle, she finally realized.
No matter how much I looked, I couldn’t see any of my colleagues who came with me.
Right now, in this demon castle, only he was fighting against the demon king. No one else was alive.
‘What… what is it? So… can’t it be?’
This situation didn’t make sense to the elf at first, but a single possibility that could make sense came to mind.
Horrible assumptions where you can only say ‘what if’.
Perhaps, while he was fainting, the demon king took care of all the warriors’ party except himself.
‘Ah… it won’t be…’
Of course I believe not.
Still, the warriors’ party members were strong, so Diane tended to believe in the strength of her teammates.
Although he fainted a little, he thought that the party members of the warrior party would not be so easily defeated.
I believed it, I wanted to believe it, and I had to believe it.
However, the anxiety continued to amplify and dominated Diane’s mind.
For some reason, I had the feeling that such a terrible bill would have happened.
“Em… the demon lord!!! Do… what about all my colleagues?”
So, in the end, I had no choice but to ask.
In the end, she had no choice but to look at the demon king who was looking at her and ask.
Where the hell are your co-workers?
“Keukkeuk… Colleagues…”
Diane’s question.
The demon king made an expression as if asking why he asked something so obvious.
Then, with a smile, she answered Diane’s question.
“They’re all already dead. The saintess ran away from Jim, though.”
The fact that out of the 3 warriors who came here, 2 had already finished with their own hands.
The fact that the rest of the saints had long since fled from the demon castle.
And the devastating fact that the only thing left is Diane, an elf.
Everything that happened while Diane passed out.
“Now all that’s left is you. So what are you going to do?”
Upon hearing all this, Diane trembled.
The Demon King looked down at Diane and said.
The demon king threatened Diane with the eyes of a carnivorous animal staring at a delicious rabbit.
‘Mmm… I can’t believe it.’
Seeing those eyes, Diane couldn’t help but shrink.
I didn’t think I was trying my best to overcome that fear.
He replied that the devil’s words were lies and that he was not deceived.
However, she had no choice but to realize instinctively.
Certainly, the words of the demon king certainly did not seem to be lies.
Even if you look around, you can’t even see any comrades in the warrior party. If the demon king didn’t deal with it, there’s no reason not to be here.
Her heart couldn’t help but be filled with fear and despair.
‘I wish I knew this. I’m listening to the Chief…’
And it was only when this happened that I couldn’t help but regret it.
Before leaving the elven village, the village chief said something to Diane.
‘Diane… This generation, the elves decided not to get involved in the fight against the demon lord.’
‘Originally, the Elves always followed the hero and participated in the subjugation of the demon king…’
‘This demon king is unusual… I don’t feel good. So just stay still.’
The chief of the elves told Diane that she had received a strange prophecy from the World Tree and that she should never approach the demon king.
Originally, Diane, the strongest warrior among the elves, should have received various help from the empire while helping to subdue the demon king.
At the chief’s words, he eventually gave up those interests and did not participate.
Even when a hero named Rag came to the elven village in the past, she did not stand in front of Rag and tried not to get involved.
The prophecy of the world tree in the elven village has never been wrong.
Diane was well aware of that, so she thought there was nothing she could do about it.
‘Why did I say I was participating…’
However, the news that came after that.
When she heard the news that the hero Rag had sealed the demon king alone, she felt very arrogant.
The very arrogant thought that if I had known this was going to happen, I would have just participated…
So, in the end, this is what happened.
Disobeying the chieftain’s order, he joined the hero Bill’s party in order to take advantage of the empire.
I reached this place by taking lightly the existence of the demon king, lightly taking the prophecy of the World Tree, and judging it arbitrarily.
In the end, it produced some kind of result.
‘Huh…’
How could he have made such a stupid choice?
If I could turn back time, I wanted to go back.
‘I will die eventually…’
However, since there is no turning back, the choice must be important.
Already, due to the wrong choice, she could not escape from the death of the demon king.
The only way to escape this fate was to kill the demon king, but that was absolutely impossible.
Even if a miracle happens, the current Diane will not be able to defeat the Demon King.
He will surely be defeated without becoming an opponent.
‘If you’re going to die anyway…’
But even so, he had no intention of running away.
“I… I am the proud warrior of the Elves, Diane…!”
Diane, who had a dying expression on her face, shook her head to and fro and spoke in a loud voice.
“I won’t do anything unseemly like showing my back in front of the enemy!!!”
wobbly legs.
A warm liquid seeping through her thighs.
That look was pretty unsightly to anyone, but…
“I will do my best to fight until the end!!! Come on! Demon King…!!!”
Both eyes were staring straight at the demon king.
