0 – Sealed the demon king
“Huh-huh… Demon King, Irnal will acknowledge you. You are stronger than anyone I’ve ever fought.”
A weeklong struggle between the demon king and the hero.
“Hero. It was a great match.”
dump.
Finally, the demon king fell.
After a long journey, he finally defeated the demon king, the source of evil.
“hehehehe… I barely won… What’s so strong…?”
However, the process has never been smooth.
In fact, I thought of myself as the strongest among the warriors of all time.
That’s why I didn’t see the existence of the demon king as difficult.
The demon lords of the past, whom I saw in ancient literature, weren’t that strong compared to me…
Of course, they are strong, but they felt it was natural that they would be weak compared to themselves, who were evaluated as the strongest warriors of all time.
However, the demon king who fell in front of her eyes, she really boasted a different level of strength.
It was strong enough to be incomparable to the demon kings written in ancient literature.
“I really lived and died…”
Truly the pinnacle of living things, disaster itself. It was so strong that even words cannot express it.
Of course, I won against such a demon king, but to be honest, I just felt lucky, and if I was only looking at actual strength, the demon king was stronger.
In such a situation, if the tide had flowed to the devil’s side even a little bit… the one who fell would be himself, not the devil…
It was not an exaggeration to say that this demon king was the strongest demon king ever to dare to evaluate.
“Ha… by the way… it’s impossible to kill.”
And that’s why killing itself was impossible.
I didn’t have enough strength to kill the Demon King right now.
Originally, the holy sword had to be inserted into the demon lord and released with more magic power than the demon lord’s, so that the demon lord could be completely killed…
It was impossible to kill the Demon King with my own strength.
Even though the demon lord was in a state of defeat, it never seemed that even in this state, he would be able to pierce the overwhelming magic power of the demon lord.
In the first place, is there a living being that can kill this demon king…? It’s such a pure question.
“It’s just a matter of sealing it…”
So I had no choice but to compromise moderately.
Just by properly sealing the demon lord with a magic crystal…
I used the sealing magic, and soon the demon lord’s body was covered with crystals.
With this, the Demon King was sealed.
Seeing the sealed demon king, I felt regretful that I couldn’t kill him.
But nonetheless, this was the best I could do.
“Let’s go back…”
After sealing the Demon King like that, I finally sighed.
Still, I must have done what I could do as a hero.
I decided to think positively.
Of course, the ending was slightly disappointing, but I thought to myself that it was pretty good, even though it was half a penny as a warrior.
Anyway, it’s time to head back to the Empire.
You must return to the Empire and inform them that the Demon King has been sealed.
I returned to the empire with a slightly relieved heart.
“… Hero of Rag, are you saying that you couldn’t defeat the demon lord right now, and you were only able to seal it?”
But…
The first princess, Lesia, who listened to my words.
She looked at me very disapprovingly.
“…?”
Didn’t you just seal it…?
