The Hero Disciple Is Back

128. Thank you

Phew!!

A dogfight against the Demon King… .

Just looking at it, isn’t it a story that future generations will say, “Hmm. It’s not credible and it’s not cool, so let’s take it out” and delete? If anyone thinks of the final battle with the Demon King, they’ll think of a gorgeous aura that will split the sky and magic that will shake the heavens and the earth. So even if the current situation is recorded, it’s a situation with such a miserable probability that it wouldn’t be strange if it were erased by future generations. Because anyone can see that it was a situation that was strange to call it a great battle that would determine the survival of the world.

There is nothing really cool about it.

But that’s a dogfight.

Just knock down the guy in front of you.

And I win. I survive.

That’s all there is to it

Just thinking about that

He grits his teeth and rushes forward, concentrating all his nerves on the opponent in front of him.

There is no style, no beauty, no pride. It is just infinitely ugly, filthy, and miserable. But that is why… .

Phew!

“Cough!”

Phew!

“Ugh!”

That’s why

A dogfight is the best kind of fight where you can truly pour everything out, where you can make everything blank.

Pour everything out and leave nothing behind. It just becomes clean. The body becomes dirty with wounds and blood, and the outside becomes truly dirty, but on the contrary, the inside becomes infinitely empty. The more desperately you try to make the outside tattered, the more the inside becomes infinitely empty.

Of course.

Because there is no reason for regret to remain for a fighter who has desperately given his all.

“Whoaaa!!!”

I aimed for the Demon King’s leg with all my might.

puck!!!

“Ugh!”

The Demon King’s body, which becomes weaker with each attack I make, becomes weaker as time goes by, so as a result, there is no way he can be immune to these lower body attacks.

Damage to the lower body and loss of balance.

In that case, it would be reasonable to immediately put in a combo!

Phew!

“Ugh!”

… but the Demon King… was persistent.

Suddenly, the guy’s right arm grew longer and, even though his balance was off, he accurately punched me in the face.

How could the Demon King use something like body manipulation, something that only low-level demons with no special abilities could do? That meant that his condition was at rock bottom, and that he was desperate.

… Honestly, if the power of the past heroes had not further strengthened the Matjip, it would have been dangerous.

“That suits you quite well. I think it would have been nice to try that kind of fashion earlier.”

He pointed out the change in his appearance, such as his right arm becoming longer and appearing to be dragging along the ground.

“Tch, tch, tch. To Jim… No, you’re the only one who would say something like that to me. But I’ll forgive you. It doesn’t matter anymore.”

“Thank you very much.”

“But… Now that we’ve come this far, there’s something I absolutely cannot overlook.”

“That’s funny. I feel the same way.”

““I win.””

End of the world?

Such complexity no longer existed at this moment.

There is only one thing that exists

Defeat the man in front of you.

Get your hands on the final, most valuable trophy.

That’s all.

♧♧♧

sick.

I just got punched

Damage to one’s own skeleton

You feel pain yourself

Phew!

Sweat dripping down his face as he desperately avoids a human’s fist? If his past self had heard that, he would have laughed at it, thinking it was hilarious nonsense… But that was his current self. Surprisingly, that was his reality.

but

So good!

‘Is this what it means to be alive?’

As an immortal

As the end of the world

The obvious that I couldn’t enjoy anything

Ordinariness that I couldn’t enjoy anything

The longing that I couldn’t enjoy anything

Right now, at this moment, he is desperately enjoying it.

To defeat the man in front of me

To achieve that one goal only

To achieve that one purpose only

Just to achieve that one fruit

More than ever

More than any other moment

Just desperately

Everything else is erased from my mind.

Right now, at this moment, he gives everything for just one thing.

Even though I know that this will not lead to the destruction of the world or to the acquisition of the world’s most precious treasure,

I don’t need any of that, I just want to win. I don’t need anything else, I just want to win, that simple but absolute feeling.

Right now, this moment

I am

I’m alive.

“So we win!!!!!!!”

Pfft …

He swings his right arm, which he has manipulated, like a whip and exploits an opening.

“Ugh!!!”

The right arm, which had been swung like a whip just like the waist I had just been hit with, was hit. The guy was also losing his past shadow. It was natural. Even though I was getting weaker, the inherent destructive power of the purest yet most destructive magic energy in this world that made up my body had not disappeared.

So it was only natural that the shadow of the past that was attached to him would fade every time he was attacked.

so

It ends here!

“Eeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!”

So, with all my might, I swung my remaining left hand at the guy’s face.

I thought that was the end.

however

Chomp!

“Haaap!!!!!!!!!!”

The guy who seemed to have lost his balance took a step forward with his right foot, regained his balance, and immediately started counterattacking.

‘Huh! Are you going to attack me without hesitation?’

Without a moment’s hesitation

Without a single moment of hesitation

The man made an immediate judgment.

I immediately swung my fist to knock down the man in front of me.

I chose it without any hesitation.

That man was so obsessed with the idea of ​​taking me down that he made a decision instinctively. He was running towards me, facing me head-on.

ah….

Look at those straight eyes.

Look at that spirited determination.

The last moment of my life

Was the light there?

“Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

So you can’t back down!

Even if this is the end!

No! This is the end!

more!

I will resist until the very end!

To this doomed fate!!

Phew!!!

Phew!!!

The stubbornness of two men who never back down

Without a single inch of error

Very accurately

They hit each other hard.

Victory can never be given away, an obsession that can never be given to you

Yes, that’s right.

The one here is neither the Demon King who is the end of the world, nor the teacher of the warrior who taught the warrior who will save the world.

Just ordinary

There are only two men who are very ordinary… very natural… who tried to stick to their stubbornness to the end. At least, that was the case in the past, the process, and the mistakes, but that was the case at this moment. That was the clear truth of this one moment.

dump!

dump!

And the stubbornness of the two men, which seemed as if they would never break or crumble, was broken at the same time.

But isn’t that always the case for ordinary men?

“…you fell a little faster.”

“No… You definitely fell about a second earlier.”

“No… I said I fell about 0.5 seconds too late.”

“No… . You fell down about 0.5 seconds too late for me. So… . I won.”

“No… I said I won.”

“You fell… I saw you fall, so how could I fall first?”

“Look at my physical condition… I’m infinitely light. Unlike you, who are heavy, isn’t it natural for me to fall slowly?”

Even in a situation where neither of them can speak properly

Both men claimed that they had won.

It was just a draw since they both fell at the same time.

The Demon King eventually burst into laughter at that fact.

“Hahaha… . How can I, who am doomed, draw… ”

I thought there were only two options: win or lose… .

“Was there such a result…?”

It was only after the final moment had come that he realized that there was such a thing. Even if he had gone through infinite regression, he could not help but not know what he did not know. After realizing this, the Demon King smiled.

“…Are you going?”

“… That’s right.”

“… Don’t forget your promise.”

I promise to throw a punch at either of them if I see any of those damn gods.

The Demon King smiled as he recalled that promise.

“… An unwanted birth… An unwanted fate… A life that only had unwanted endings… But in the final ending… Well… It wasn’t bad…”

That’s the last thing I said

Kwajik!

Jeaaang!

The Demon King’s core was completely shattered.

“Thank you… my… .”

The Demon King wanted to leave a message, but

I couldn’t finish that sentence properly and just left it there

Turned into pieces and dust

It disappeared without a trace along with the wind.

In the final moment, just as cool as the feeling he had felt, his existence was completely erased from this world.

“… What a persistent guy…”

The warrior’s master commented thusly.

That’s how I evaluated the enemy I would never forget.

“Your fist is so dirty and spicy….”

The apocalypse was annihilated, but the traces of the man’s fist remained intact.
