Chapter 502: That Person Was Not a Strong One. However, They Were Undoubtedly a True Hero.
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
While Ed and his companions were fighting, Hero Lorenz and Lunaritia were also engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon King. Once again, the Demon King easily deflected Lorenzs strike and spoke with a condescending voice.Hahaha, whats wrong, Hero? Is that all youve got?
Not yet, were just getting started!
The Demon Kings height was about a head taller than Lorenz, who stood at 180 centimeters. Although he was just a large man within the realm of common sense and not a giant by any means to Lorenz right now, the Demon King seemed enormous enough to look up to.
(Damn it, hes strong!)
For some reason, Lorenz had an impression of the Demon King as a weak and pitiful being. But that was completely shattered when his first strike was perfectly blocked. The illusion of a Demon King throwing a tantrum while lying on the floor instantly vanished, and Lorenz was reminded anew of how high above the Demon King, the enemy of all humanity, truly stood.
(But I cant falter! I am the Hero!)
Haaah!
Letting out a battle cry, Lorenz lunged at the Demon King. But his powerful overhead strike was easily stopped by the Demon Kings single arm.
Heh, how naive! With such attacks, you cant even hope to wound me, let alone reach me with your blade! Take this!
Guh!?
The Demon Kings equipment consisted only of glossy black leather armor and gauntlets. At first, Lorenz had underestimated him for not carrying any weapons, but now he was painfully aware that the Demon King needs no weapons. This was because Lorenzs sword could only slightly bite into the leather armor without cutting through, and it was being deflected just by the Demon Kings bare-handed strikes.
Yuusha-sama!? Manifest, Wind Edge!
Hmph!
Lunaritia cast a spell to help the staggering Lorenz. But the Demon King casually dispersed it with his fist and stood there leisurely without following up with an attack. He was clearly looking down on them, but Tia accepted this honestly and spoke to the panting Lorenz.
Dont rush, Yuusha-sama. Remember, youre not fighting alone.
Sorry, and thank you. However
Thanking Tia and regaining his stance with his sword at the ready, Lorenz gritted his teeth as he compared the Demon King to his own sword. He simply couldnt imagine his attacks getting through. Seeing the Hero in this state, the Demon King let out a small sigh before speaking.
Hah Tell me, Hero, why dont you have the holy sword?
The holy sword is meant to choose the Hero. Its not allowed for individuals to take it out.
? What kind of foolish rule is that? Who decided that? Dont tell me all the previous Hero didnt have the holy sword either!?
Thats right. What of it?
The Hero is chosen by the holy sword. In reality, the birth of a Hero is unrelated to the holy sword; it merely reacts when a Hero approaches it. But the people of this world, unaware of the mechanism of Hero birth, believed without doubt that the holy sword creates the Hero.
Therefore, the holy sword wielded by the first Hero was never used by subsequent generations. If by chance a Hero was defeated and the holy sword stolen, they feared they could never produce another Hero This misunderstanding-born fear prohibited Hero from using the holy sword.
This was common sense for humans. But the Demon King didnt know. Hearing this information for the first time from the Hero who had reached him since the first generation, the Demon King couldnt help but put his hand to his face and laugh loudly, looking up at the sky.
Kuh Hahaha! I see, so thats how it was! Now it all makes sense! To think humanity was this foolish!
Whats so funny!? As long as the holy sword is in human hands, the Hero will continue to be born! Thats why even though many heroes have fallen, it has continued down to me!
How can I not laugh at this! The reason I was cornered by the first Hero was because he carried the holy sword. By chance, I survived, but I was still gravely wounded to the point of immobility. Thats why, as a means to buy time until my wounds healed, I created the Seven Great Calamities, even at the cost of my own life force.
But strangely, the Seven Great Calamities remained undefeated for an incredibly long time, and no Hero appeared before me afterward. I thought it was because they couldnt find a real Hero who could use the holy sword, so they were just arbitrarily elevating someone to Hero status to alleviate their anxiety Hahaha! To think it was for such a foolish reason!
What!?
Thats why I was on guard. When three of the Seven Great Calamities were defeated at once, I thought a real Hero wielding the holy sword had finally come! But the Hero carries a mere iron rod while the holy sword is displayed far away!? To think they would deliberately leave behind their only chance of victory due to their obsession with self-preservation Is there anything more amusing than this!?
Thats thats impossible!
Lorenz lunged at the laughing Demon King. But even though the Demon King wasnt even defending himself anymore, Lorenzs sword couldnt inflict any wounds on the Demon Kings body.
Why why!?
How foolish, how pitiful! I just told you the reason, didnt I? I see, so thats why Luka separated that man. Your journey, protected by strong companions, must have been quite comfortable, wasnt it? You weak Hero!
Shut up!
Letting out a painful cry, Lorenz continued to strike at the Demon King like a madman. But it was Lorenz who was one-sidedly attacking and also one-sidedly being cornered.
Yuusha-sama! Calm down! I cant even support you like this! Fall back for a moment!
No! No! Im not just a man who followed along!
Nothing is different! Ah, how endearing. Perhaps now I can absorb the power of the Hero that I couldnt defeat that day? Come, die in my arms. My sworn enemy who has brought me even more power.
Guh!?
Yuusha-sama!?
The Demon Kings arms wrapped around Lorenzs back as if embracing him. Lorenz struggled desperately but couldnt escape from this restraint, and in this state, even Tia couldnt cast attack magic.
If only we had one more vanguard
If someone could distract the Demon King, she could attack with magic from a blind spot or sneak up and slash at the arms restraining Lorenz. But in what was essentially a one-on-one with a hostage, no matter what she did, Lorenz would be used as a shield.
Attack even if it hits me!
Yuusha-sama!?
As Tia hesitated, Lorenz shouted while being squeezed by the Demon King.
Ed said he told me Im not just someone who followed along, but a Hero who led them here! Im sure Ed will somehow get Luka here! Even if I cant defeat him Im sure you all can defeat the Demon King!
Oh? You acknowledge your own powerlessness and finally rely on your companions? It seems this generations Hero not only lacks guts but also knows no shame.
I threw away shame long ago! Prepare yourself, Demon King. I may be the weakest and most foolish Hero in history. But I alone was able to lead those who will defeat you to this place! My companions, the courage I brought here, will surely vanquish you!
Stop barking! Then Ill absorb your power right here and send you to hell along with your companions!
The Demon Kings arms tightened around Lorenz, thick veins bulging visibly. His mouth split open, about to devour the Heros head, but
Sorry, but thats on hold.
Guah!?
A black shadow flashed by, and the Demon Kings left leg below the knee disappeared. Catching Lorenzs body as it fell from the unbalanced Demon King was a beautiful young man with fiery red hair andslightly sharp upturned eyes.
Oops, are you alright, Yuusha-sama?
Ed! And Luka!? Why are you!?
Hehehe, well, after being told something like that, I couldnt just not come back, could I? Come on, Yuusha-sama. Can you stand?
Ah, yes
Ed! Looks like you managed well.
Hahaha, of course, Tia. As if Id ever mess up.
Luka set Lorenz down, and Ed laughed in response to Tia then, looking straight at the Demon King, Eds mouth curved into a grin.
Now, the Hero party is all assembled again. Well make you fully realize the power of courage gathered by Hero Lorenz!
Gaaaaaaah!!!
In response to Eds words, the Demon King roared like a beast.
