Why!? Why can the attacks of someone who doesnt have the holy sword no, who isnt even a Hero, wound my body!?What are you talking about? Im the courage brought by Yuusha-sama, so of course my attacks work on the Demon King.
Why!? Why do you, one of the Seven Great Calamities I created, betray me and attack me!?
Well, thats probably due to the difference in personal charm, you know? Between a cute Demon King whos feeling down and an unsightly Demon King throwing a tantrum, of course Id choose the cute one.
Guu I dont understand!
The Demon King stomped his newly regenerated foot in anger. The impact shook the room greatly, but at this point, were not going to be intimidated by something like that.
We dont need you to understand anyway.
Indeed, I dont think we can come to an understanding either.
Thats why well make your body understand! We who were brought here by Yuusha-sama!
Ed, Luka, Tia I
Come on, Yuusha-sama, give the order! Now is the time to defeat the Demon King with the Hero party youve gathered!
Yes! I am Hero Lorenz! Together with the three companions of courage gathered here, I will put an end to this dark era today!
Golden light erupted from Lorenzs body as he declared this loudly. By truly accepting himself and his companions, Lorenz has now become a true Hero.
I understand, I understand now. I now clearly know what I must do! Activate, Brave Order! Ed, take the right arm, Luka, the left leg, then go all out! Tia, from the wind, the light of the stars!
Got it!
Understood!
Alright!
The light flying from Lorenz enveloped our bodies. As we kicked off the ground to fulfill these instructions, my body flew towards the Demon King with the lightness of a feather!
Ill take this!
Guah!? W-What!?
Unable to react to that speed, the Demon Kings right arm flies off as he stands still. He probably tried to regenerate it immediately, but our assault had only just begun.
Its not good to look away, you know?
Guoh!?
Luka, running along the ground in a forward-leaning posture about to fall, cuts off the Demon Kings left leg. Even the Demon King couldnt regenerate instantly after having the same place cut off twice in succession. He stumbles greatly and falls forward and Tias magic explodes on his lowered face.
Manifest, Wind Edge!
Guaaaa!?!?!?
The blade of wind, compressed enough to be visible, carves deep wounds on the Demon Kings face. On that face that has become quite handsome, strong confusion and a bit of fear appear.
Impossible!? Why am I wounded by the same magic as before!?
Well, the way the mana is kneaded is different and I guess its also because of this glowing light, right?
Yeah. My body feels incredibly light.
As expected of Yuusha-sama! I feel like I could even fly in the sky now!
I refrained from pointing out that you can normally fly anyway, as it would be inelegant. Instead, I exchanged glances with Luka, and we nodded slightly at each other, laughing.
Lets keep up the pressure, Luka!
Yes, senpai!
Guooo! I wont let you do as you please so many times!
As we continued to unleash slashes while running around the Demon King, the enraged Demon King launched a counterattack. It seems he wont let our attacks through so easily anymore, but if we can buy time, thats enough.
Gathering light to form a brightly shining white moon star, wrapping in wind to become a raging, sharply cutting crescent cage, harboring dull light to pierce through, the eyes of the black deer spirit! Shine, pierce, shoot, and explode! In the name of Lunaritia, manifest Star Hastur!
From Tias hand, which finished chanting, a star wrapped in a storm is fired. Faced with magic of a power far beyond the wind blades, the panicked Demon King, while taking our attacks, barely managed to jump to the side. But
Guu But I certainly avoided your trump card! Now
Brave Order, follow me!
Huh!?
Lorenz, who had moved hidden in the shadow of the magic, activates his power against the magic Tia had released. Then the stormy star changes its course at an impossible angle and speed, aiming for Lorenz who was pouncing on the Demon King.
Have you forgotten, Demon King! I am the one who leads!
Impossible!? If youre caught up in that, even if youre a Hero
And dont forget! My companions wont hurt me!
This is probably the effect of Brave Order. The stormy star engulfs Lorenz, but Lorenz makes all of its power his own. Lorenz, the leading Hero who has become a golden star, raises his sword
With that mere iron rod
Brave Order, all courage to this sword!
Gyaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!
The sword imbued with golden light bisected the Demon Kings body from head to toe. The Demon King, emitting black smoke from the cut surface, showed no signs of regenerating from there.
Hah, hah, hah
I-Impressive, Hero
The Demon King, split in two and lying on his back on the floor. His right eye moves and he speaks to Lorenz.
Ha, hahaha Thats right, I had forgotten due to the long peace That man also created the first holy sword in the same way I was careless
Is that so? Then, this is?
Its a holy sword, without a doubt However, having fulfilled its purpose of defeating me, that sword, and the other one said to be displayed far away, will eventually crumble and disappear Kuhaha, I can imagine the panicked faces of the humans
Demon King
But dont forget, I am immortal even in death. Someday I will surely revive, and once again move to bring the world under my control. And by that time, you will no longer be in this world. Enjoy your fleeting peace while trembling at the uncertain future
I wont let it be fleeting. Im the Hero who leads, remember? Then Ill lead people to a future where peace continues even after Im gone. Revive as many times as you like. Our courage will crush you every time.
Do you really think you can do such a thing?
To the Demon King who spoke mockingly, Lorenz returned a confident smile.
We can. If we have wonderful companions, even someone like me could defeat the Demon King. Even if not everyone can become wise, not everyone will become foolish either. As long as there are people who care about the world, the light of courage that continues unbroken will surely gather.
Farewell, Demon King. You who couldnt even bring along the confidants born from your own body. You were stronger than anyone but also lonelier than anyone.
Heh how anticlimactic.
The Demon Kings body, after glancing at Luka one last time, crumbles into black dust. As Lorenz stood there silently, watching the Demon King, Luka whispered softly in my ear.
(Um, senpai? How was the Demon King talking when he was split in two? And he said some cool things before dying, but because I cant get the image of him throwing a tantrum earlier out of my head, I cant really feel moved)
(Dont you dare say that to Yuusha-sama! Absolutely not, okay!?)
(Eh, does that mean I should say it?)
(Theres no reverse or anything! If you say it, everything will be ruined!)
Geez, you two really get along well. But I dont like being ignored, you know?
At that moment, Tia, puffing her cheeks in dissatisfaction, suddenly grabbed my arm and clinged to me. Then Luka immediately clinged to the opposite arm.
(T/N: yeah she likes him)
Senpai! Me too! Ill die of loneliness if you leave me out!
Tia!? I wasnt ignoring you And Luka, I dont care if you die, so just feel lonely omewhere over there.
How cruel! Only Im treated differently!
Why do you think youd be treated the same as Tia
Gaan! Yuusha-sama, Yuusha-sama! Senpai is being cruel, Yuusha-sama~!
Haaa Luka, why are you like this even at a time like this!? No, Ed and Tia too, cant you be a bit more serious right now
Eh? But doesnt this feel more like us? Instead of being all solemn, lets make a noisy triumphant return together!
You Well, youre right. Then, shall we make our triumphant return?
Yes! I wonder if there will be a feast when we get to the castle?
Well, I guess there will be. Alright, lets head back.
Make sure you lead us properly to the end, Yuusha-sama, okay?
Leave it to me. No matter what problem child you may be, Ill make sure to bring you back properly.
Lorenz laughed and answered Tias mischievous words. And so, our eight-month journey to defeat the Demon King finally came to an end.
