Chapter 80.3: He Who Herald The Golden Dawn
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
◆Valkyrie, Shizufae
The shockwaves from the clashes were assailing us even now.
「OI SHIZUFAE!! THIS PLACE IS DANGEROUS! LET’S LEAVE THIS PLACE NOW!!」
Big sis Keyna shouted at me while lowering her back as low as possible to minimize the effects of the shockwaves.
「IT’S OKAY BIG SIS KEYNA!!! REIJI-SAMA IS HERE!! THIS PLACE IS SAFE!!」
I replied to her while still looking up at Reiji-sama’s battle.
「Yeah, I agree. The one who’s fighting against the Hero of Light is a famous Daemon Lord. He is far more powerful than the lesser daemon we fought before. And yet, for him to easily overwhelm such powerful opponent… is simply too amazing.」
Madi spoke with a surprised look on her face.
Behind the Daemon Lord who was fighting Reiji-sama, there were a lot more Lesser Daemons and just one of them was enough to overwhelm our party in the previous battle.
And those Lesser Daemons were clearly afraid of Reiji-sama.
「Awesome. It’s too overwhelming…」
Novis, who was being supported by Sienna-san, spoke as he heaved a sigh.
Novis was aiming to become the strongest man in the world. That’s why I knew why he had a sense of rivalry towards Reiji-sama.
But, I wonder if he knew just how huge the gap of power between them was.
「As expected of Goddess-sama’s beloved man. He’s definitely going to save Ariadya.」
Leylia-san spoke with a voice filled with admiration.
「Naturally!! Reiji-sama is the herald of golden dawn after all!! Let alone a Daemon Lord, he’ll even defeat the Demon King and all monsters!! GOGOGO REIJI-SAMA!!」
I cheered for Reiji-sama at the top of my lungs.
No doubt about it, Reiji-sama is the herald of golden dawn.
I mean, just how many humans had already fallen victim since the Demon King released monsters into this world?
And one amongst those victims was my father.
That’s why I hate Demon King who released those monsters. [TL : Poor Modes, framed for something that he never did.]
That’s why I was cheering on Reiji-sama.
I didn’t want to hear anyone crying because their important person was killed by a monster.
Thus, I, along with the citizens of Ariadya were cheering for Reiji-sama.
「GOGOGOGO!!! HERO OF LIGHT-SAMA!! BRING BACK THE GOLDEN DAWN!!!!」

◆Strongest Daemon Lord; Runfeld
The hero’s sword and mine were clashing as we flew in the air. Each clash of our sword created an extremely powerful shockwave with us at the center.
「RUNFELD-SAMA!!」
My subordinates who were standing behind me were calling out to me with a worried voice.
But, I had no leeway to reply to them.
The Hero of Light’s sword was sharp and heavy.
I could feel that he had become more powerful.
I should’ve become stronger than before after taking swordcraft lessons from Diehart. And yet, the hero seems to have become more powerful.
I looked at the hero’s face, he had a composed look on his face.
He might’ve yet to go all out.
If he was serious from the very beginning, I might have already been dead by now.
It seems the reason he held back was to measure how powerful he was right now. And I was nothing more than a good sparring partner.
It was a bitter reality but still, I grit my teeth to endure it.
I was the leader of the proud Chivalric Order of Dark Knights, the one who assisted his Majesty the Demon King after all.
And I was currently overwhelmed by the hero of light.
In this kind of situation, I didn’t even know why I lowered my head to Diehart to ask him to train me anymore.
I wanted to become stronger than before. That’s why I swallowed my shame and asked Diehart to train me.
I trained and trained like there was no tomorrow. I wanted to take back our Chivalric Order of Dark Knight’s pride which had been shattered by the hero of light.
「DAMMIT!!!」
I swung my thunder sword in frustration.
But, the hero parried my attack with ease and slashed back at me.
I somehow managed to protect myself, but my stance crumbled as a result.
The hero’s sword resembles Your Excellency’s sword.
Maybe this man was also training to become stronger like me.
How careless of me to exclude such a fact. I grit my teeth even harder as I realized such a fact.
As if that wasn’t enough, I even exposed my subordinates to a dangerous situation.
The hero swung his sword to the side.
Since my stance was crumbled, I couldn’t defend against that slash and my thunder sword fell from my right hand.
「GUH!!」
I groaned a bit and then retreated a bit.
「This is a good sword. I shall take it.」
The hero caught the thunder sword that was flipped in the air.
That sword was something that I got after a lot of hardships in order to defeat the hero. And now, it was taken by the hero.
I couldn’t help but feel mortified about this.
「RUNFELD-SAMA!!」
My subordinates who rode wyverns came forward.
「YOU FOOL!! WHY AREN’T YOU GUYS STILL DILLY CALLING IN THIS PLACE!! YOU’RE NO MATCH FOR HIM!!」
「WE CAN’T JUST RUN AWAY WITH OUR TAIL BETWEEN LEGS AND LEAVE YOU BEHIND, RUNFELD-SAMA!!」
My subordinates drew their weapons.
It wasn’t just my subordinates. The others were also standing in front of me as if protecting me from the hero.
「YOU FOOLS…」
At this rate, everyone is going to be killed by the hero.
「ALL OF YOU GUYS, WAIT RIGHT THERE!!」
The one who shouted at them was Ulbard.
「Leave this place to me. You guys take lord Runfeld as far as possible from this place.」
「Lord… Ulbard.」
「This is my responsibility. Lord Runfeld. 」
Ulbard’s body was clearly trembling in fear. He did realize that he was no match for the hero.
「Lord Ulbard, you’re no match for the hero. No need to add more sacrifices to our side. You take the others and escape from this place.」
This was my punishment for thinking such foolish things as having a rematch against the hero.
I’d planned to somehow win this fight.
I couldn’t let my subordinates get involved in this.
So I mustered the rest of my willpower.
I was quite exhausted. But, I had to make sure that I gained enough time for them to escape from this place.
「I don’t know what you’re trying to say, but do you think I’m going to let you off?」
The hero spoke as he walked closer.
「You guys are the ones who come to attack first right? Moreover, just how much people suffered because of the Demon King? No matter how much I think about it, there’s no reason to spare you guys.」
An oppressing aura started to gush out from the hero’s body.
And then, several light bullets appeared around him.
「Well, it doesn’t matter. I’m going to send you all to afterlife as thanks for being my sparring partner.」
The hero pointed his sword as he smiled lightly at us.
「IT’S COMING!! EVERYONE RAISE YOUR DEFENSIVE BARRIER!!」
Everyone started to follow Ulbard’s order and poured in all their power to create a magic barrier to protect me.
But, I knew that those magic barriers weren’t strong enough to stop the hero of light’s attack.
「NO, EVERYONE RUN!!!」
Dammit, I won’t make it in time.
Thousands of light bullets were raining down toward us.
Just when I thought that we were done for…
「What the?」
The hero raised a surprised voice.
The thousands of light bullets suddenly turned around in mid-air right before hitting us.
We were saved.
I turned around and looked behind us.
Upon a closer look, I saw a giant black dragon appearing from behind the storm. And the one who rode atop that dragon was a silver haired girl and a Dark Knight.
That Dark Knight raised his right hand and those thousands of light bullets seemed to be sucked into his right hand.
The dragon raised a howl that shook the air above Ariadya.
I felt a wave of oppressive wrath from that Dark Knight.
And then, a black flame mixed with lightning was unleashed from the Dark Knight’s upper body.
As if signalling the arrival of a Black Storm.
