The Hero Banished Me Saying, “I Don’t Want Incompetents,” but All My Other Friends Followed Me.

The power of the Demon King

“The Saint Straight Line.”

The Pope pulls out a blade from the rod of his staff and steps in with a speed no less than that of me, who danced the war kagura, to cut the demon king in half.

He is the strongest Holy Knight of the Luna Sect and the highest Praying Pope of the Luna Sect.

As long as the opponent is a demon, the overwhelming sword line will not allow its regeneration.

“I will show no mercy, ‘Saint Double Cross Saber’.”

Overwhelming speed, well-honed skills, and pure power.

Even though the Pope has the restriction that he can’t leave this room, he’s still – probably stronger than I am now.

He is the quintessential warrior that his ancestors fell in love with.

I was watching a demon in my dad’s form being decimated by the Pope.

Will my father die in this battle?

I still haven’t done my filial duty, I still have regrets, I still want to help, but still I have a mission as the divine son of Maijin.

If the devil had taken over, I would also think that it would have to be destroyed, even if it was my father.

So even though I saw my father cut and bleeding, I was strangely not moved to sorrow.

“Huh, huh …… this body, I have …… less strength!”

The Pope’s breathing was starting to get ragged, his sword muscles were starting to slow down.

But it’s okay,……, even a demon king won’t be safe if you slash him like that,…….

“Ugh ……!!!”

“Hmm, those sword muscles, that warrior, you have become much weaker since you diverged from me and my body …….”

Nichari and the Demon King are reluctant to cry.

The Demon King who hit the Pope with all his might was supposed to be a demon, but … Even after receiving the Pope’s swordplay, his body was not scratched.

“Kagura-kun …… don’t misunderstand, the demon king is never a demon, therefore neither swords nor prayers can defeat the demon king.”

The Pope says as he collapses in a heap of rags.

“But Kagura, you should be able to defeat him if you use the ‘thing’ sealed deep inside the Maijin …….”

“What is that …”

So you’re saying I have to use that thing to defeat the Demon Lord?

That thing is a weapon that is forbidden to the divine children of the Maijin.

I’ve only been a godson for a short time, so the …… backlash is not so much,……, but I might still corrupt my life at least.

“I, Kagura, crossed swords with the Demon Lord to tell you that you must use it, please, because I’m unworthy, because I’m weak.

Hate me for having to entrust you with such a harsh and cruel fate, but still, the Demon Lord–“

That was all he said, and then the Pope fainted.

…… Sure, if he can’t beat him with that strength, there’s no way I can stop him up either.

Besides, there was no option to leave my father’s body as it was taken over by the Demon King.

But, but ……

“Kagura-sama ……!”

“Seraphy, Finnell, I know it’s early in the day for you to be here, but I’m going back to the Maijin Taisha. …… martial arts kagura ‘sword dance’ — prayer kagura ‘transition dance'”

“Hahaha, divine child of the Dancing God, there is absolutely nothing you can do to me who has stepped into the Evil God Realm!”

The Demon King smiled high, and accompanied by Seraphy and Fynel – with the Demon King, we returned  back to the Maijin Taisha.

◇

Tranquil, solemn, and sacred–my birthplace, my hometown, the Maijin Taisha.

Unless it is a special case like a hero, the devil disappears just by being here. However, the Demon King who took in his father’s body is no longer a special case.

Since he’s not even a demon to begin with, we can’t expect him to be weakened.

And yet.

“Seraphy, Finnell, and Lelia, Teal – I’m sorry to be back so soon, but can you hold off the Demon Lord there for two minutes? I have something I need to get!”

My wives just gasped and didn’t respond.

But they’re strong, so I’m sure they’ll hold out until I come back for that thing.

◇

“Oh, I don’t know what the gods have sent you to get, but will you be my opponents in the meantime?”

“Yes. …… Master Kagura asked me to do it.”

“I guess that means he trusts me.”

“I don’t want to disappoint ……!”

“Yes.

Seraphy, Lelia, Teal, and Finnell are all demons who feel like they have a little Kagura in front of them-I knew well that I didn’t feel like I could beat the Demon King.

It is Kagura’s mother’s words that come to mind.

The divine children of …… the successive Maijin lost to protect their wives, that is, they lost because they were slowed down.

So the four of you, don’t let Kagura slow you down.

To be able to help Kagura properly.

“And I can’t believe you managed to do that if you only earned two minutes. ……”

「「「「 We are the quintessential Kagura-sama (kun) (san)! 」」」」

“Hahahahaha, the divine child of this generation’s dancing god has four wives, and they adore him, so let’s have some fun while we get ready!”

The demon king laughs highly and blurs his figure at the same time.

The fist of Smoke blows off Teal’s arms, which were barely in a defensive position, while folding them.

“Teal! …… Lady Luna, please heal her, ‘Holy Healing’.”

“Dear Luna, please grant us protection and blessings in this life, ‘Object Bound’.”

At that moment, Finnell heals Teal’s injuries while Seraphy puts a blessing on everyone that makes them resistant to physical attacks.

and

“Please, spirits ……!”

At the sound of Lelia’s voice, countless spirits flew around the demon king like fireflies.

The spirits explode one by one.

After everything burst, the demon king was standing there with several pieces of flesh shaved off of his entire body.

“Hmm, not bad for a woman who has the strength to wound my body.”

However, the wound recovers in the blink of an eye.

Lelia’s all-out attack-the magic that can annihilate most classes of knights has been dealt with very easily.

With that impact, the Demon King beat up Lelia, Finnell, and Seraphy in turn.

Bones cracking, guts ripping, that’s what it felt like.

Somehow, I’ll do my best to heal them and complete the first aid for the fatal wound, but even so, I can’t even stand up anymore.

The four of them had already lost the power to fight.

“Will you not die now, or may the divine children of the Maijin of this generation have some fun?”

“I’m sorry, Master Kagura. …… I didn’t earn my two minutes.”

Seraphy’s tears spill out of her eyes in frustration.

I can’t reach him, I can’t help him, I can’t help him, I can’t help him, I can’t help him, I can’t help him.

“Sorry I’m late, it took me three minutes to get back, but you held it together, thanks.”

I heard Kagura’s voice.

At the sound of his voice, tears, apart from sadness, spill out.

“Now, the Demon King. I’ll avenge my father’s death.”

The final battle between Kagura and the Demon King begins–
