Chapter 469
The tip of Ellen’s sword against the demon lord was shaking.
Her eyes, body, and legs were trembling.
– Kang! Get a card!
In the onslaught of the demon king, Ellen only retreated in a hesitant manner, but was unable to attack properly.
The Demon King did not show any acknowledgment.
The demon king’s kick, wrapped in the explosive power of fierce magic, pierced Lapelt’s resilience and hit the Auror armor that covered Ellen roughly.
– Pleasant!
“ah… … Ugh!”
Ellen, who was hit in the stomach by a kick loaded with enormous weight, was thrown a long way and rolled unsightly on the floor.
pain.
It itself wasn’t very big.
However, it felt like my heart would break.
I know this fight is nothing more than a play after all. Reinhardt would not kill himself, and he himself never wanted to hurt Reinhardt either.
A play like this is needed to show people that the hero is a being who can stand against the demon king.
I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t met, but I did.
I’m afraid of the demon lord, but people have to believe that a warrior can fight the demon lord.
So even if people despair of reality and curse the world, they will try to live with this bitch somehow, holding on to the expectation and hope that the devil will die someday.
Those who hate the demon lord will try to live somehow to hear the story that the demon lord was killed by a hero someday.
So even if you don’t want to fight, you have to fight somehow.
The Demon King leaps toward Ellen, who is thrown off and rolled on the floor.
and.
-thud!
Stepping down on the giant advance imbued with magical power, it crushed the ground as if it were crushing the spot where Ellen had just been.
Ellen had already rolled over and avoided the spot.
He was somehow aiming his sword at the demon lord, but the tip of the sword was shaking violently.
This situation said it all.
Reinhardt’s expression said it all.
now.
That there will never be anything like the past.

Something like whispering that each other is precious to each other and sharing those words.
There can be no
humanity’s hope.
enemy of mankind.
It’s just a relationship that has been divided by such a cruel dichotomy.
That’s why Reinhardt attacks Ellen no matter what.
To be precise, they fight in order to escape. People will have hope only when the Demon King is defeated by the hero here.
But Ellen couldn’t wield the rament at all.
A moon sword that reacts to sadness.
The power of the Void Sword Lament was known best by its user, Ellen.
The Void Sword is an absolute blade that cuts through anything. Even the sword master’s sword covered with aura, no matter how hard the monster’s skin was, could be cut too easily.
I don’t know if the Voidblade can cut through relics.
However, if you wield it incorrectly, you might even cut down Reinhardt along with the holy relic.
That’s why Ellen couldn’t swing her sword recklessly.
Because Reinhardt might get hurt.
Somehow, Reinhardt might die.
The Demon King stares at the hero who trembles and can’t do anything, just slowly stepping back.
“You’re scary, you.”
The demon king slowly approaches the hero.
“I am afraid that I will die. yes?”
“… … .”
“you… … .”
Ellen felt like biting her tongue at the plain words of the demon king, who was reading her thoughts accurately.
“I.”
The demon king aimed Tiamata in his left hand at Ellen, not Alsbringer.
“still.”
– Woo-woo-woo!
The white holy light starts to wave like a wave on Tiamata in the demon king’s hand.
“I did it to you and it made me explode… … .”
something comes
I don’t know what it was, but Ellen activated her aura all over her body.
Although the distance was far, the torrent of holy power that was seething in Tiamata gave a very ominous feeling.
“Do you look like an asshole back then?”
With his teeth clenched, the demon king trembled in anger.
The demon king fired Tiamata at Ellen from a distance where the sword could not reach.
– Flash!
storm of light.
Along with the thought that a storm of light that seems to be blinding is encroaching in front of my eyes.
Ellen felt a strong destructive force engulf her entire body as if it would tear her body apart.
* * *
– Kurleung
Excluding the intention of power, only the release of divine power that energizes the power itself.
The ejection of that power scratched the plaza, and Ellen managed to get up from the gap in the collapsed building.
“Huh… … . ugh… … .”
Thanks to Rapelt’s protection and Auror Armor, he was not seriously injured.
However, without that protection, Ellen would have died in the attack just now.
The demon king was thrown out a hundred meters away and stared at Ellen, who rose from the wreckage of the building.
Right now, Ellen clearly felt that the demon king was angry.
Am I angry because I felt like I was being ignored?
That’s not it.
just because you’re precious
It’s because I don’t want to point a sword at you.
Ellen wanted to scream like that.
but.
that’s not really
I might get hurt.
Saying that you might die so you can’t do your best is different from ignoring Reinhardt after all.
The reason why he doesn’t have the confidence to do this play properly is because he fears that Reinhardt won’t be able to receive his attack.
That’s why Reinhardt is angry.
Do you think you are still that fledgling back then?
Because I always get hit, do you still think I’m that kind of guy?
Ellen gritted her teeth.
Reinhardt is not the old Reinhardt.
I couldn’t open the door to the master class, but I became a monster who could face the master class without opening it.
He was always ahead of Reinhardt, so it’s only natural that he’s ahead of him now.
I can’t say that I didn’t have that kind of heart.
Ellen admits her arrogance.
Reinhardt became stronger.
maybe even more than myself.
Ellen holds Lament with both hands.
We have to play from now on.
At the end of a desperate struggle, the play of defeating the demon king must be shown to people.
one point difference.
With one mistake, you have to make a dangerous play that could kill each other.
If you think about it, is that difficult?
Have you ever been so nervous, afraid, and terrified?
It still hurts and hurts like it’s going to break your heart, but Ellen has to admit it.
It’s not difficult.
Come to think of it.
Many times they came across swords.
Every day until past bedtime.
At first, it was Reinhardt who was not even worth dealing with, who was only able to walk. Then he taught Reinhardt swordsmanship.
At some point, it became enough that I could deal with it without losing my strength.
so every day.
clashed swords every day.
At some point, Reinhardt’s skills improved to the point where he had to deal with them properly.
So it was to the point where Ellen was struggling until she was out of breath.
everyday.
every moment.
They have been patiently dealing with each other.
That’s why, the two know each other’s sword best in this world.
that’s why it’s easy
It should be easy.
Ellen calmly aimed the void sword she held with both hands at the demon lord.
The trembling disappeared then.
* * *
Fortunately or unfortunately, the Void Black Relic could not be cut.
A blade that cuts through anything could not cut through a holy relic.
However, it was the same as disabling all other defenses.
The Demon King was able to receive the void sword lament, but that was only when he blocked it with a holy object. He could not block the attack to the body.
No matter how strong the output of magical power enhancement is, even if you can use Aura Armor.
In front of the Void Sword, it was just a piece of paper.
– Kang! Get a card!
People were able to see how the warrior, who was trembling with fear and couldn’t do this or that, started attacking properly and pushed the demon king without a break.
I don’t know why I was terrified, but now was important.
Apparently, the demon king, who had withstood the pincers of other master classes, was only focusing on blocking the attack against the hero at some point.
However, in this fight, no one knew that Ellen was intentionally not inflicting a fatal wound on the demon king, and that the demon king was also intentionally delaying a situation in which he had to retreat.
Reinhardt’s swordsmanship was originally Ellen’s, and Ellen’s swordsmanship was originally the swordsmanship of the hero Lagan Artorius.
That’s why Ellen had no choice but to know everything about Reinhardt’s swordsmanship, and because of the difference between practical talent and intelligence, Reinhardt’s swordsmanship was inevitably a deteriorated version of Ellen’s swordsmanship.
The demon king exchanges holy objects and fights.
After using Alsbringer, summon back, and if necessary, summon Tiamata to fight.
When necessary, he summons holy relics in both hands and wields them like twin swords, but in Ellen’s eyes, it was just an act of believing in his outstanding physical abilities, and there was nothing like skill.
Reinhardt’s swordsmanship is basically the way he fights with a single sword. He was not breaking away from Ellen’s swordsmanship.
There was no one to teach him the unique swordsmanship of double swordsmanship, and he couldn’t abandon his well-established foundation in order to use twin swords just because he had two holy relics, even if he was good at it.
That’s why, the Demon King’s black Ellen could still be read.
of course.
‘Maybe they’re fighting to be read.’
This is just a play for show.
So it might be that he intentionally attacks Ellen to make it easier for him to read, and then strikes back.
The two clashed swords against each other for an excruciatingly long time.
So, just as Reinhardt’s sword was read by Ellen, it was only natural that Ellen’s sword could also be read by Reinhardt.
Of course, just because this was a play, it wasn’t just swords clashing.
– Jjaeong!
“eww… … black!”
If the demon king saw a gap, he actually hit Ellen’s head with the black side, or tried to stab a vital point, and actually succeeded in the attack.
– Puck! Kwakang!
After deflecting Reinhardt’s sword with Ellen’s lament, she gave the demon a physical blow with her left fist or kick.
It was a rough workshop that no one could think of as a play.
The scale of the fight was different from the days when they didn’t even know how to strengthen magic in the temple like before.
It was a grueling and grueling fight in which the fountain was broken, the ground was crushed, and several buildings collapsed as they were bounced off.
No one intervened in the fight between the hero and the demon king.
Rather, it might be a hindrance, so the crowd, as well as the knights and wizards of the Empire, had no choice but to watch the scene with bated breath.
It’s a play, but to those who didn’t know it was a play, it looked like the demon king and the hero were fighting for their lives.
And, in fact, it was right that the two were risking their lives.
It is clear that if one makes a mistake, the other will die.
The Demon King and the Hero.
They were aiming their swords at each other as they were all wrecked.
The plaza for the execution of the princess had turned into ruins due to the fight between the demon king and the hero.
until when
Do we have to show people how we hurt each other?
Ellen, who bit her lip enough to taste blood, thought so and rushed at the demon lord.
Aim Rament at Reinhardt’s heart.
Since I showed him this way, Reinhardt would use his left fist, kick, or twist his body and attack with his elbow while deflecting Rament with Alsbringer.
If he pushed it like that, he would block the attack with his aura armor and prepare for the follow-up.
It is a possible attack because they are reading each other.
like that.
That moment when he stretched out his sword, believing that he would definately deflect the stabbing sword.
Reinhardt did not deflect Alsbringer, but rather stabbed Ellen.
– Fu-wook!
– Kang!
“!!!!”
Ellen’s eyes widened when she saw her sword pierce Reinhardt’s chest like a lie.
Of course, Alsbringer, who aimed at the chest of Ellen, who was wearing an aura armor, had no choice but to bounce off.
I deliberately allowed an attack.
Ellen’s complexion turned white as she never expected to allow this attack.
“nice… … . eww… … .”
The demon king took a few steps back.
Ellen, who was so surprised that she lost her sword, slowly retreated and pulled out the rament stuck in her heart.
– Clink!
Lament landed on the floor without looking, and Reinhardt slowly stepped back.
“Nana… … . me… … .”
Reinhardt glared at Ellen, who was about to say something.
like saying nothing.
As if he hadn’t already seen that Tiamata could heal wounds.
The demon king, who speaks only with his eyes, steps back while holding on to the pierced chest.
The demon king raises one hand to the sky.
as if it were a sign
A crack opens in the air and someone appears.
Seeing the sudden appearance, Ellen couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
Harriet de Saintoine.
Harriet appears from the space and grabs the staggering Reinhardt.
Harriet and Ellen’s gaze briefly crosses.
Harriet and Ellen.
There’s a lot we want to say to each other, but we know we shouldn’t say anything.
Ellen had no choice but to watch blankly as Harriet swiftly escaped the wounded demon king by moving through space.
Silence permeated the plaza.
Most of them had fled from the scene where the hero and the demon king were fighting to the death a little while ago.
However, there were definitely people who watched the scene.
At first, the hero, who seemed to be terrified, continued to attack the demon king as if he had made up his mind, and eventually inflicted a fatal wound.
While recovering from his wounds, the demon king chose to run away rather than fight more.
He must have run away because he obviously felt threatened.
Soon, the Demon King is not immortal.
-mind… … . The demon king… … .
-The demon king ran away… … .
-The warrior… … . You made the demon king run away… … .
Everyone knows that the demon king is not dead.
Because I know that the demon king will recover with the power of healing.
However, it is true that the Demon King, who judged that he could not deal with the hero, fled with his subordinates.
-The Demon King has escaped!
-The hero kicked out the demon king!
Boldly, some people who had been watching the bloody battle from a distance in the plaza started shouting.
It turned out just as Reinhardt wanted.
The Demon King, who was showing off his almost invulnerable appearance in the middle of the ecliptic, drew a picture of fleeing in the hands of Ellen Artorius, and did so.
It made everyone see that the hero could stand against the demon king as the people hoped.
However, Ellen was terrified by the feel of the sword pushing into Reinhardt’s heart.
A number of civilians died, the princess was not even executed, and a fearful incident occurred in which the demon king even appeared.
However, such a demon king was driven out by the hand of the hero.
I couldn’t kill it, but I might be able to kill it.
Ellen was trembling with fear.
-The hero defeated the demon king!
People were praising the warrior.
The deeper the despair, the greater the hope.
But the more people projected their hopes on her, the more Ellen felt her despair grow.
