The Betrayed Devil No Longer Hides His Power

10 – I’m Not Wrong 1

Hero Elyse Nocturne.

A being praised by countless people,

The hero who saved the world.

But at this moment,

Emotions that the hero Elise feels at the center of a splendid banquet.

It was neither the joy of victory nor the pride of saving the world.

The representatives of the tribal union are talking about joy and pleasure among themselves.

Aristocrats indulge in alcohol and food while making loud noises.

Colleagues bursting into laughter as they make fun of them.

Looking at these scenes shown with deafening noise,

Elise just felt a heavy discomfort.

“Then… I will try to go in.”

“Huh? Are you dying already, hero?

“Please wait a little longer. Shouldn’t the main character get lost in the banquet?”

People who try to stop Elise from getting up.

However, she quietly expressed her refusal.

“Sorry, I’m a little tired… It seems that he overworked himself quite a bit on this expedition.”

“Ummm… If so, I can’t help but… “

“Sorry, next time we have a chance, let’s talk more.”

A warrior who eventually gets up and disappears outside.

Looking at her appearance, some people are concerned,

Or, he expressed small dissatisfaction, saying that he was also from a commoner and did not know the law.

Another person spoke in a low voice that was inaudible to others.

“I went outside. Let it begin.”

*

Elise left the banquet hall despite her rudeness.

However, despite the fact that she left the place where she felt uncomfortable all along,

Elise’s heart still had a painful feeling.

‘Was it just for something like this?… For something like this, I… ‘

The banquet hall was filled with brilliant light and happiness.

But Elise knew.

She looks gorgeous in that spot.

The fact that she is just an illusion to look at.

What lies behind her is just disgustingly disgusting hypocrisy.

And…

It’s going on in the name of justice.

It means that there are only acts that are so ugly.

Until the so-called era of ‘peace’ had arrived, there was great joy in Elise’s heart.

A war that lasted for a long time.

The fact that she finished it with her own hands made her feel proud and rewarded, along with her title as the hero of her continent.

Although the process was never clean,

As a result, the Demon King… She had killed the noble being she held dear to her heart by her dirty treachery.

But even so, Elise did not regret anything about her.

No matter how good a person he was, his opponent was the Demon King.

The thought that she possesses great power and that she does not know when and how she will change has never been completely erased.

In this situation, the two people who have guided her ever since she became a hero.

The Emperor of the Utopia Empire and the Pope of the Holy Kingdom of Elves issued an order.

Kill the Demon King.

No matter how good they pretend to be, their essence is an ugly darkness.

They are just beings that must be destroyed according to God’s will.

According to the orders that came down like that, as always,

She did her own duty.

It is natural for a hero to defeat the demon king,

She only administered this justice according to God’s will.

As she rationalized her actions, Elise drove the holy sword into his heart.

Confident that this will bring peace.

Believing that a happy world full of justice and light will open.

However,

Experiencing what has happened over the past few months,

Elise’s self-confidence and justification were slowly fading away.

A tribal union that destroyed the Demon Kingdom as if waiting right after the death of the Demon King.

Up to that point, Elise was able to understand to some extent.

Just as the demon king is her enemy, the demon kingdom is also the enemy of the tribal union.

It was only natural for the enemy to target a weakened situation and annihilate it.

However, what happened after that…

Beyond the category of simple national interests,

It was full of things that so-called good people should not do.

After the fall of the Demon Kingdom, the situation of the demons has changed so direly that they cannot bear to open their eyes.

Demons who became targets of looting, arson, and hunting.

Losing everything and being taken captive, they ended up dying while being used as slaves or tools.

Under the pretext of eradicating evil, a tribal alliance is putting into practice an even worse evil.

Their appearance gave a great shock to the heart of Elise, who had expected justice and goodness.

Besides, it wasn’t just about her demons that gave her anguish.

Representatives of the tribal union laughing happily at the banquet just before.

However, Elise already knew that it was just a mask.

Several months have passed since the public enemy of the Demon King and the Demon Kingdom disappeared.

In that short amount of time, there were already cracks large and small within the Tribal Alliance.

The Utopian Empire, a nation of humans, was already preparing for a new war,

Against this, other free races, including elves and dwarves, were also making unusual moves.

As soon as the public enemy disappeared, the so-called ‘forces of justice’ began to divide for their own benefit.

In this situation, the emperor himself made a request to Elise a while ago.

I hope you will once again swing your sword for humans in this new war that will unfold in the future.

It may be painful, but to establish the so-called ‘justice’ once again as a warrior.

And.

Regarding the Emperor’s request.

Elise accepted it after much thought.

I knew very well what this meant.

Having to point the sword at the colleagues who have been fighting against ‘evil’ together, and even at this moment laughing and talking in the banquet hall,

There was no more honor or anything in it,

There was a very high possibility that there would only be a dirty ending beyond what happened in the Demon Kingdom.

‘But still… I can’t come this far and back off… I am… I am… ‘Cause I’m not wrong.’

Even if she fell away from the lofty ideals she had at first, she was a warrior.

A being chosen by God.

A being who wields a holy sword to enforce justice.

What she did was justice,

The holy sword that always shone brilliantly proved this.

‘Yes… Even if it seems distorted right now… In the end I’ll be right. What I did… There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it.’

While trying so hard to control her feelings,

Elise moved her steps in the direction of her house in a state of exhaustion.

Then.

“… Chit.”

The next moment,

An unusual sign that suddenly started to feel.

In response, Elise briefly clicked her tongue and slowly drew out her sword.

“What are they doing? Reveal your identity!”

“… “

A group of beings began to emerge from the shadows.

Completely concealing their identities with black cloth, they silently approached Elise slowly with their weapons drawn.

‘What the hell are these guys doing? How can an attack happen here and not anywhere else… ‘

It is said that there is darkness, but this is Constantine, the capital of the Empire.

A powerful magic barrier spreads along the castle wall,

The security of the castle gate was also extremely strict.

A place where it is impossible for clumsy external forces, including demons, to enter.

Breaking into a place like this definitely meant that there was an internal connection, but I couldn’t figure out exactly what it was at this point.

‘What’s good… I’ll be able to find out the details if I go after these guys.’

The attackers showed up at a car that was not in a good mood.

I was thinking of giving it a proper beating,

Elise straightened her holy sword and prepared for battle.

Then.

“!”

-Chang!

The next moment, a dagger suddenly flew by.

At this, Elise quickly swung her sword to block it.

At the same time, the enemy’s full-scale offensive began.

‘These guys… It’s fast.’

The movements of these guys are so fast.

In addition, precise coordinated attacks using numerical superiority.

Even so, if it was one by one, they wouldn’t be opponents.

The movements of those who did not give her a chance were often cutting off the flow of her attacks.

‘There must be few people on the continent who are as talented as this… Who the hell is this… ‘

Elise realized that the situation was more serious than expected.

In the midst of her growing doubts, she finally had to make a choice.

‘I can’t… Even so, I didn’t want to spend it in the middle of the capital… ‘

Elise makes a decision and executes it at the same time.

Immediately after that, the holy sword in her hand began to be enveloped in light.

“!”

“Coming… Be careful.”

A holy sword that radiates divine power and emits power that is different from just before.

The length of the blade nearly doubled, and at the same time, the divine power wrapped around her body formed a shield that could ignore any attack.

A powerful force that even defeated the demon king.

At this, the light of tension was evident on the faces of the assailants, but nonetheless, they did not back down and prepared for the next attack as if they had already anticipated it.

But…

“Huh?”

“!”

In the next moment, an embarrassing voice escaped from Elise’s mouth.

At the same time, the assailants who were watching this momentarily became suspicious.

“What… What is this?… Why suddenly… “

The holy sword that lit up the whole area just a moment ago.

But at this moment,

The brilliant light that cut through the darkness,

Like a blown out candle, it disappeared in an instant.

An incomprehensible situation that has never happened before.

At this, Elise was seized with a deep shock…

At that moment, the raiders’ offensive, which had been hesitant for a moment, resumed.
