The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken

4 – the beginning of the downfall, its sign

It’s been a long time since I quit being a hero and returned to my hometown.

After three years, I was able to reunite with the villagers again.

The head of the village, the blacksmith I worked at, the bakery lady who bakes delicious bread.

My sister Lili, and my childhood friend Arne.

I was able to meet many faces I missed.

So it felt so good.

To live a comfortable life with these people again, this was a happiness that could not be exchanged for anything to me.

However, that happiness was threatened again.

By the evil being called the Demon King…

‘No matter how much I think about it, there’s no way the seal will be broken…’

The eerie aura of the demon lord felt through my skin.

However, unlike the skin I felt, my head was quite calm right now, and I thought that the devil king had resurrected or something like that couldn’t happen.

As a warrior, I never do things carelessly.

Even though I couldn’t kill the demon king and ended up sealing it… That said, there was no such thing as a rough seal or anything like that.

Even thinking about it again, my seal was really at a fairly perfect level.

So, according to common sense, it was really nonsense that the demon king broke through my seal and resurrected.

But, nonetheless…

‘Let’s go…’

An inexpressible eerie aura felt in the town.

Although the energy was not very strong and weak, it was unmistakably the energy of the demon king.

So I was in a position to check.

After taking the sword next to the bed, I carefully left the house.

‘Let’s think about the worst possible capital.’

and the way it goes.

I really raised the maximum amount of mana in my body in preparation for the first possibility.

And as he strengthened his body to the limit… he carefully advanced into the forest where he could feel the energy of the demon king, thinking of everything, even the worst that would happen in the future.

And the result of finally arriving in the woods like that.

I was able to confirm the identity of the energy I felt.

“Ehh. Then it is…”

It was a beast with black horns, a beast that had become a beast by the energy of the demon king.

This was exactly the identity of the demon king’s aura that I felt.

For some reason, a sense of strength, a feeling of relief and collapse came over me at the same time.

The really worst situation that I was worried about, the demon lord broke the seal and was resurrected, as expected, there was no such thing.

“Kreureung…”

In the meantime, the demon in front of me couldn’t overcome the madness and ran towards me.

In order to appease the thirst for blood that swells my hungry stomach by devouring me…!

Charged me at full speed to tear me apart.

squeak.

It was cut cleanly in no time.

I quickly struck the neck of the demon beast that had rushed to it.

Soon after, the headless Witchbeast lost speed and collapsed.

Of course, I, who was a hero, would not be eaten by such a monster.

I brushed the blood off the sword and put it back in the scabbard.

“Hmm…”

A demon who loses the power of the demon king and slowly dies.

Seeing such a magic beast made me think a lot.

In a way, it was a simple happening, but…

Because I felt the demon lord’s energy, I assumed one situation at a time, the worst situation, but at least the demon beast was really no big deal.

That’s why it’s right to let out a sigh of relief, but to be honest, even that sigh didn’t come out well.

“How strong were you…?”

That’s because it was such a situation that made me realize the strength of the demon king once again.

In this situation, the Demon King was sealed by my sealing magic.

However, the feeble mana that flows out of such a situation, that mana alone can create a monster and make it run wild…

No matter how you think about it, this was common sense.

However, the demon lord makes things so simple that common sense makes no sense.

There was no doubt that he was a very strong being beyond common sense.

“How on earth did I seal it?”

I who won against such a demon king.

If you think simply, you might think that I won because I was much stronger than that demon king, but I can answer this one thing clearly.

I was weaker than the Demon King. It wasn’t even a little weak, it was weak enough to be incomparable.

If you dare to compare the strength of me and the demon king, in fact, there is a difference in strength between a child and an adult dragon.

It’s not that my specs are absolutely lacking, but compared to the demon king, I was really weak at the level of a child.

At the time of fighting on such a topic, where the hell did the courage come from? I really fought and fought well.

When everything was over and I looked back, I could feel how strong the Demon King was.

“If… if we fight again, will I be able to win…?”

A what-if situation just passed through my mind.

In fact, the seal of the demon lord had really been released, and if it was the demon lord that I discovered… I would have had to fight the demon lord again…

But I wondered if that would be possible.

Dragon and child level strength.

Actually, out of 100 fights, I think I will lose 99 times.

In the battle with the demon king, by chance, out of 100 times, only 1 came out and won.

If we fight again, the outcome will indeed be different.

If the demon lord breaks the seal, will I be able to win again against the demon lord who broke the seal…?

I honestly couldn’t tell.

Maybe when that day comes, the world will end.

“But, what can I do if I think about this?”

Perhaps it was because of the thought of the demon king, I had a serious expression on my face, but soon smiled.

If you think about it carefully, in fact, I was worried about such a useless worry.

Because the Demon King was already sealed.

“You won’t be able to come out of the seal for at least 100 years.”

The sealing magic I applied to the demon lord was never a simple sealing magic.

It’s a really top-notch sealing magic, a very great magic that I used after squeezing out all my energy and mana.

As much as that seal had been placed, it was never going to be easily undone.

At least 100 years, usually 1000 years, I used the sealing magic on the fallen demon king.

So you can rest assured.

At least as long as I’m alive, the demon king’s seal will never be broken.

“Unless someone artificially breaks it.”

Even so, if the demon king were to be resurrected, I would have to bring someone who could use magic like me, a wizard of the magic tower.

If it were them, the seal could be broken theoretically, and there was one such magician among the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King’s army.

But, will the Four Heavenly Kings break the seal?

That would be absolutely ridiculous.

“Because the demons are all extinct now.”

The demons, who are currently the servants of the demon king, cannot exist in the world without the demon king.

Because of this, immediately after sealing the Demon King, all of them were destroyed.

The demons will not be able to break the seal of the demon king.

“In the end, if you break the seal, it’s either me or the Magic Tower, but…”

In such a situation, if there were any other beings who could break the seal besides me, there were wizards of the Mage Tower.

If the wizards of the Magic Tower join forces, theoretically it could be possible to break the seal of the Demon King.

However, there was absolutely no way to break the seal of the Demon King without the wizards of the Magic Tower going crazy.

“Who would dare to break the seal of the Demon King?”

It’s not possible in common sense, and there’s a high possibility that you won’t even try.

Even if he tried to do such a crazy thing in the first place, he would be taken to the imperial palace and immediately executed.

It was a situation where I could just leave it alone, but no one bothered to touch it.

“Haam… let’s go to sleep…”

No matter how much I thought about it, it was all futile, and it was never going to happen.

The more I think about it, the more I lose my strength.

That’s why I put my worries in, and I dragged my sleepy body back to bed.

While thinking that the seal of the demon king could not be broken.

However, contrary to Lag’s expectations…

In the imperial palace, a story Rag never wanted was unfolding.

“The Princess. We must break the seal of the Demon King and kill the Demon King…!”

There was a person who knelt down in front of the princess and remonstrated with her.

A knight with a black beard in heavy armor and a sword at his waist.

He was the captain of the knights of the imperial palace, Bill.

“This situation where we couldn’t kill the demon king and just sealed it, we can’t just leave it alone.”

Bill continued to admonish the princess.

This situation, which sealed the demon king without being able to kill it, must be changed somehow.

It means that the demon king must be killed.

“Hmm…”

The princess listened to Bill’s words, but the princess did not readily answer.

The reason was simple.

It was because there was no hero to kill the demon king.

“But, isn’t there a hero who can defeat the demon lord? Even if he is resurrected from a seal, who will defeat the demon lord?”

After the hero, Lag, was stripped of his position as a hero, there is no hero after him.

In that situation, he showed a hesitant expression because he couldn’t break the seal of the demon king.

“I’ll do it. Princess.”

And to the hesitant princess, Bill placed his hand on his chest and said,

The hero who will defeat the demon king is himself.

“Please appoint me as a warrior.”

Bill asked the princess.

“Hmm…”

The princess thought about this for a moment.
