Running Away From The Hero!

# 1 Their Reason: The Demon King's Reason

“Huff...! ”

Blood flows from the chest slowly.

It's painful. It's the first time I've felt this much pain since becoming the Demon King.

“What the... what was that? ”

An elongated wound on the side that a warrior risked his life to make. It was an unexpected and wonderful number.

The devil king's adversary, the one who saves the world!

Swinn, a natural warrior, burned his life and chased me away, as he proved his name as a warrior.

If I had defended myself instead of attacking, I would have fallen by the sword of a warrior.

However, my trained instincts chose attacks, not defenses, while carrying out numerous tasks in a vicious organization, and since then I've gone through numerous hardships as a warrior.

The choice confirmed the death of the warrior. Until that monster showed up.

“Ugh... ”

Blood flows from the wounds inflicted by the monster. He was seriously injured.

The moment I put the sword in my heart, the sword moved incredibly flexibly.

If the reaction had been delayed, the heart and surrounding organs would have been strangled.

“Recovery is slow. ”

A serious wound could not be easily healed even if the recovery potion was used in conjunction with the restoration magic.

Moreover, I was unable to receive the effects of recovery magic.

The Demon King is out of the world.

That is why we are immune to such magical forces made by the laws of the world.

This was a double-edged sword.

The user becomes immune to restorative magic and other buff enchantments instead of being immune to the target's attack or curse.

Therefore, this wound should be healed naturally, but the situation was not good.

Boom!

“There!”

“Damn it!”

The Pokémon is already attacking before it can hear a horse.

The Karean Empire, the most powerful and virtually ruling nation on the continent.

And…….

“Why on earth? ”

It was a special list of chase battles.

“Die!”

“I cannot die by a knight without a name! ”

A humble man, covered in dirt, rushes at you with his sword.

I also pulled out my sword, stopped his sword and cut off his chest...!

“Damn, you're strong! ”

“Crazy……. ”

That's what I wanted to say.

I may be the Imperial Swordsman, but I've been called a former best warrior.

He said he had God's help, but he took down the dragon on his own, and his ability has remained at its best since becoming the Demon King.

An unknown prosecutor prevented such an attack!

The empire was powerful enough to hide such a monstrous talent.

“Knights of the Empire? ”

If you were this skilled, you would be a royal knight in a kingdom without a sodmaster.

This ability on a face that doesn't look 30 yet.

“What nonsense! A kid like me can't be a knight! ”

Kang!

A slight reaction to the swordswielding prosecutor's words was delayed.

“What does that mean? ”

Hey, kid?

If this were a child, all the knights on the continent would be newborns.

“Literally! I am the Imperial Apprentice Knight! ”

“What are you talking about! ”

It was an understandable speech.

As a warrior, I've traveled many kingdoms, and I'm sure he was a skilled knight in a small kingdom.

No empire would call such a skilled apprentice an apprentice.

“Is that the password?”

Then it is clear that he is a person in a very special organization even in the Empire, and that the code name is apprentice.

“What are you talking about? ”

“Huff...! ”

An unidentified test, an apprentice, strikes a man with blood gushing from his heart. It's a broken wound.

“I can't wait any longer for you! ”

No matter how hidden I may be, I am the Demon King.

Being that brings terror to the world.

Something that destroys the world.

One who will never fall until he is defeated by the sword of a warrior!

“Hiya!”

It's a great skill, but pure swordsmanship is beneath me.

I risked my life under that instructor and flew away without stopping my apprenticeship.

“Burn it.”

“Spirit?”

A high-ranking spirit of sudden fire punches me in the face.

“Tsk!”

I started running again without finishing a short tongue.

Perfect killing will not increase enemies in the future, but the story changes if the target is a summoner.

“What an empire...! ”

Originally, summoning was a skill only available to the chosen. If there is a magical power, you can summon the Summoner, but contracting with that summoner was a different area.

Even if the Summoner refuses the Summoner, the contract will not be concluded. However, the Imperial Army that was chasing me was able to use summoning, essentially.

In the case of spirits, it is easy to deal with except the land spirit that can move the earth itself, but the opponent is an Empire army.

The Summoner who used the Fire Spirit could summon the Earth Spirit or summon a Salvation.

Supreme Summoners are not invincible if they choose to, but they are able to hold on while stalling.

One minute, 30 seconds.

The delay of that amount of time makes many enemies of the Empire come to me.

I had already experienced several battles, so I was able to quickly give up my enemies.

Kuaaaaang!

“It went that way! ”

“Those lunatics! ”

I started attacking before I could say anything else.

With a loud explosion, I noticed a huge hole 40 meters ahead of me and began to leap as fast as I could.

“Just... just a little more! ”

Just over two mountains. Then we can join forces of evil that are coming this way.

I know the evil forces can't defeat the Empire army, but at least they can buy us some time.

We can escape safely.

If you can only get the last piece of evil you have, and you can only hold off until the piece of evil you took away from Parpesse can grow to some degree!

Even if there are monsters in the empire, we will be able to poison and destroy the world.

And now...

“Hang in there.”

It's time to endure it again.

Why do I live? Why do you want to destroy the world?

Wasn't it for her who did her best for the world and suffered a terrible death?

Vengeance for her. No, more precisely, vengeance for my satisfaction.

And for that, I was confident that I could endure anything.

So bear with it.

“Where did you run off to, Demon King? ”

“What an apprentice this Demon King is! Are you the Demon King?”

“To be the Demon King! Do your parents know about this? ”

“Your parents didn't feed you to do that! ”

This low-level accusation that I don't believe is the best army...!

# 2 Their Reason: The Reason of a Warrior

“Well done. ”

Mira shakes her head at the words of Mira, who wipes the sweat off her forehead.

“I didn't do anything. ”

It wasn't empty. It was all Mira who escaped.

Maybe if it wasn't for Mira....

“I was about to die to the Demon King. ”

The Demon King would have killed him.

“You fought well against the Demon King alone. ”

“Alone……. ”

You were right to fight the Demon King alone. However, a number of saints and priests, including Hill, were able to cope with various buffs just before the attack. Barely using any number of gambling numbers.

However, the Demon King did not panic and neatly stopped my attack and tried to counterattack me.

You risk your life to prepare for the final blow.

I strengthened my body with my magic and wanted an opportunity.

Immediately before the enemy can strike the final blow, the user selects one of the two and fires a sword, whether I die or die.

I was able to inflict a long wound on the Demon King's side, but that was the end of it.

The Demon King pushed me without stopping the attack, even when I was severely wounded.

So this is it. My fucking destiny stops here.

The moment I thought about it, Mira appeared.

And then he died.

Perfectly, mira's appearance on the ground with her body cut off was unrealistic.

Is he really dead? That Mira? I think she's gonna move right now and slit the Demon King's throat.

… Mira, who appeared behind the Demon King's back, put a sword in the Demon King's chest.

“Really... what is that? ”

Mira on the floor looks real.

It was neither magic nor fantasy.

Mira's body falls to the ground, blood spurts out, and blood is hot.

“This?”

Tuck!

Suddenly, Mira pops out of the air. It was a corpse whose torso and lower body were separated.

“What! Crazy! ”

He looks back, frightened by Mira's falling corpse.

“You still haven't recovered? ”

“Don't summon me.... ”

“Well, what is it? ”

Mira groans as she falls to the ground.

“Sorry. I just wanted to see my motives. ”

“Can I go? It's annoying. ”

“Yes, yep. ”

The moment Mira's eyes met the ground, I had to nod my head.

“Here we go, then? ”

“Well done.”

Mira waves to the missing corpse.

“What's that? ”

I don't know what it was, but it was really scary.

There's two of Mira.

I didn't think Myrrh could handle one instructor with two.

“Summoned.”

“Summoned?”

“Yes. Doppelgänger. I've seen it before, and I signed it because it might be useful. ”

Doppelgänger?

I remembered something.

“Could it be... when Howling went down? ”

“Yes. Even the Imperial Army was deceptive enough, wasn't it? ”

“That's right."

The Doppelgänger was clearly deceived by tens of thousands of Imperial troops. It was the nature of Doppelgänger to copy his appearance, to some degree of character, to some degree of ability.

Especially compared to magically moving dolls or golems, they are natural and intelligent.

During training at Howling, there was also fighting the Doppelgänger of the previous crew members.

However, the Doppelgänger was a summoner with a very large drawback.

“Doppelgänger is the devil, right? ”

Yes, the Doppelgänger was the Devil. A superior demon with considerable risk.

Demons are demons, even if they can contract more easily than demons, because there are multiple entities that are not as single as demons.

There is no way we can easily contract with such an existence... ….

“Yes. Have you forgotten what we have? ”

“What? Is it a fraudulent contract? ”

There was a time when you made a slave contract with the Devil Surt, which was nothing compared to the Doppelgänger.

Mira, your apprentice, could have done something similar.

“No?”

“Isn't it?”

“Yes. That's a scam you need to know about the Devil to be able to commit. I used the Eugracian way. ”

“Eugracian style? ”

Yugrasia is where the instructor used to be, a prestigious academy in the Empire.

The instructor said he was a professor, so it would be a new hell.

“It can't be natural? ”

The possibility of a demon being born in a new hell and contracting with students is good enough!

“That can't be right. ”

“I think it's possible. ”

Mira denies it, but the instructor seems capable enough.

“That's not it. The Eugracian way is.... ”

I silently listened to Mira's explanation.

It was an absurd way in some sense, and it made sense in some sense.

“So you're going to summon him, pull yourself together, and pound the tree apart before you summon him? Until the contract?”

“Yes.”

I wanted to ask Mira, who nodded gravely.

What color is your blood?

“Red.”

“You don't have to answer that. Ugh...! ”

As soon as you scream, the wound bursts and blood begins to flow.

Dammit! At least a week's worth of damage has to be recovered.

“What are you going to do now? ”

Obviously, the Demon King was more seriously injured than I was.

I had no choice.

No matter how strong the Demon King is, how can he still be alive when his heart has been cut out?

If we pursue now, we will defeat the Demon King and the world will be saved. So I can live a free life after the contract ends.

“We'll have to bait them, as you've taught us. ”

But Mira knew she didn't want it.

“Neither the Demon King, nor the instructor, nor my recipe, can take the bait at once. ”

Mira's smile as she gently reminded me of something that naturally reminded me of you.

Honestly, I don't think I can stop this guy if he's a cloak.

Is this guy the last enemy or not? I hope so.

- I'm sorry, I don't know...

God damn it, please be quiet!
