Volume 5 Chapter 17 The Hero, Faces the Demon King
Villain Guildmaster Act is fighting a deadly battle with the mastermind... Meanwhile, over there.
Hero Lawrence had stormed into the Demon King's castle to exterminate the Demon King.
Lawrence and his friends are heading toward the Evil God Fyodor, now the Demon King.
Along the way, they cleared every trap and defeated every enemy waiting for them.
And then...
"Ha! It's here!"
Lawrence and crew reached the deepest part of the castle.
"H-how do you know this?"
Sub-leader Ulgar, the spear user, asks Lawrence.
"Yep! Just a gut feeling!"
"Gut feeling... show some evidence, will ya... jeez"
But Ulgar and everyone already knew.
This hero, who breaks all the rules... Because the Great Hero says so, they truly know this is where the Demon King is.
Everyone fully understands Lawrence's insane power, the unbelievable things he causes.
"It's finally... the last battle."
Magician Eli, nervously, says.
Eli, Ulgar, Luna, Mida.
And... Lawrence.
Without anyone falling behind, they made it right to the Demon King's front door.
All of them, shining with the jewels of justice, chosen and sharpened by Act.
Act trusted them and sent them out.
With eyes that see the future, he is certain.
That means their beloved Guildmaster is totally sure they will win.
"Everyone, listen up!"
Lawrence scans Ulgar and the others.
His face never shows a single doubt.
Because... they have the best teacher, waiting for their return.
"We've come this far, so I won't say much more. Just one thing... let's win!"
Without needing to say it, Ulgar and the others nod.
No fear shows in their eyes.
Even shy Eli faces forward with strength.
Everyone believes in the future.
They believe they can defeat the Demon King and bring back peace.
Act would pat me on the back and say, "Good job."
"Here we go!"
Lawrence reaches out to touch the door leading to the Demon King's chamber.
The door bursts apart with a *pop*.
They grab their weapons and step inside.
The room is draped in red carpet, heavy with a solemn air.
Seated at the far end is the Evil God, Fyodor.
"...I put layer upon layer of seals on that door, you know."
The Evil God chuckles menacingly.
"Hmph! Is that so? My apologies, I just wanted to open it and I did!"
"To break such strict seals without a sword... Ku, ku, ku! Ahahaha!"
The Evil God lets out a sly grin.
Madness dances in his eyes.
"I've been waiting for you, the Heroes chosen by that despicable Act...!"
An evil aura rises from the Evil God.
If they had faced this a little while ago, they'd have died just by looking at it.
But today's Heroes stand unfazed by such a presence.
"I am Hero Lawrence! Demon King! I've come to defeat you!"
Lawrence declares, sword in hand, with pride.
"I don't want to fight! If you withdraw from the human world, I won't have to swing my sword!"
Lawrence extends his free hand and speaks.
"Why don't you join me in creating a happy world!"
But before Lawrence can finish his plea...
*Poof*, his arm gets blown away.
...It instantly regenerates.
It's the rapid healing magic of the healer, Luna.
"Negotiations failed... I guess."
"Yeah, looks like it."
Luna and Ulgar sigh.
It was impossible to talk or understand each other in the first place.
Demon King and Hero are like oil and water.
"You want to fight! What a pity! Truly, such a pity...!"
Lawrence's killing intent rises.
He's serious about taking down his enemy... killing them.
Just by focusing his will on battle, the castle... the atmosphere... the ground shakes.
"Let's go, Demon King!"
"Come on, Hero...!"
Saint and evil, the two powers clash here and now.
