Chapter 297 – The Hero’s Despair – 8

The giant dragon is flying in the sky, but why did it fall down the cliff?
In the first place, I wouldn’t be safe if I fell from such a high place!

“…Look at that!!”

Marker pointed at the giant dragon’s tail.
I was horrified.

Lisa fell off the bridge over the cliff,
It started at the giant dragon’s tail and was on its way up to its body.
It’s not hanging like a rock climbing wall, nor is it jumping up vertically.
First, you can see the slash that cuts the body of the giant dragon, and after that, you can only briefly check Lisa’s appearance.

“Awesome…!”

Rarely did Neris exclaim in excitement.
I also clenched my fists and watched her.
A slash of light that cuts down a gigantic dragon!

The giant dragon writhed in pain and shot his breath over his leg.

“Come!!”

There was no time to tell them what to do.
I spread the wind shield and expanded the shield I injected my magical energy into, creating a double shield.
Herka also immediately spreads a protective barrier and creates a skeleton.
Then, the huge blood shield made with the Marker brothers’ blood magic was ready to receive the breath.

The dragon’s firestorm engulfed everything.
It was a huge flame that set the entire bridge ablaze.
My fire magic looks ridiculous.

Also, a dragon is a dragon.
It was a tremendous breath that reminded me of the fire goddess.
However, by gathering the strength of the entire guerrilla force, we were able to safely protect only where we were standing.

“…”

Shia watched the scene to the end and said.

“Mister. I’ll take the uninvited guest.”

“Sia. Thank you!”

Sia reverts to her dimensional magic.
Immediately after, the giant dragon died and the howling sound made the earth tremble.
I covered my ears and looked up at the sky.
A tremendous light emanated from the giant dragon’s chest. Blood pours like rain.
Lisa was still dignified and beautiful even after being covered with dragon blood.

“And!!”

Herka shouts and cheers.

“The hero has defeated the dragon! I, Herka Filiothe, are the witness!”

Everyone seemed excited about a scene that could only be seen in mythology.
A giant dragon falls off a cliff.
Lisa landed lightly on the bridge.

“Whoa…!”

The first thing Lisa did after defeating the dragon was,
It was to catch my breath and insert the holy sword.
You could do a little bragging!

“Lisa!!”

I ran and hugged Lisa.

“Ah…!? Decal. What…”

All the guerrillas came running and shared the joy.
Oia was on the verge of crying.

“I saw everything! Hero!
You have become a dragon slayer! Aww. It was so great!”

“Now we’ve just crossed a mountain.”

“It’s a great achievement.”

When even Neris was praised, Lisa was at a loss.

“Everyone was so excited.
Calm down.”

“It was a courageous figure suitable to be called a warrior!”

With Angel helping out, we praised Lisa’s achievements nonstop.
It was just when I thought I could cross the bridge.

“…The lights won’t go out.”

Bruno realized the biggest problem with the current situation.

“…”

“…”

Contrary to what it was before, it became quiet.

“Wouldn’t it turn off if I wait?”

Let’s make a hopeful guess.

“It’s a dragon’s flame. It won’t go out easily.”

“…”

My shallow hopes were dashed at Neris’ point.
There is still so much left until the land where the demon castle is located.
What is this comedy-like tragedy that the strongest warrior with the holy sword cannot go to the castle of the devil because his leg is on fire?

“I’m embarrassed…”

Lisa’s words represented the situation.
I defeated a mysterious and formidable enemy, withstood the invasion of demon gods, and even defeated a gigantic dragon.
It was absurd that I couldn’t move on with this.

If I told you to fuck me before collapsing, I want to visit you and praise you for being a great success.
What now?
My eyes naturally turned to Herka and Seoyeon.

“Herka. Can you repair the sword?”

“I know what you’re trying to say. I can’t do it here.
Our sword is a sensitive child.”

“…”

Where do you think that iron plate is sensitive?

“Besides, because it’s lightweight to the limit, you can’t carry anyone but me.”

I looked at Seoyeon.

“Seo Yeon-ah, do you love me?”

“Yes! Hyunwoo oppa. I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“Ahhh…”

Seoyeon suppressed her excitement as if she was enduring her climax, she said in a trembling voice.

“Brother Brother…!
You finally understand my heart let’s run away together I’ll raise you for the rest of my life!”

“I’ll think about that later.
For the sake of my beloved, can you move the crew over there?”

I pointed to the far end of the bridge and said.

“Fly.”

“…”

Seoyeon turned her head away without saying a word.
… He didn’t hesitate to do reckless things when he was chasing me.
She has become more docile and her discrimination has improved.
It wasn’t really Seo-yeon’s words that she wanted to fly and move us all away, but she seemed to have no other choice.

It would be convenient to be able to use dimensional magic at times like this.
Should I call Sia again?
No…

Maybe that’s a good thing
Just as ISTY was once put to the test by Noah.
Lisa’s assistant also has to overcome the wall to reach the perfection stage.

“Lisa. I can’t wait like this until the lights go out.”

“I know. But I can’t come up with a sharp number.
The dragon’s flame melts like railroad water. You won’t be able to take a few steps and your body will melt.”

“I have an idea. Everyone listen.”

I assemble the crew.

“Is there a solution?”

“It’s not to the point of being called a countermeasure, but…”

Huh? The atmosphere is a bit strange.
Everyone is looking at me with strange eyes.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Blam took the lead.

“Dekal, you are… No, what kind of existence are you?”

“…”

The time has come to reveal
I wouldn’t believe it even if it wasn’t.
The harpy demon called me a god. There was no way they would think of me as an ordinary human being who speaks on an equal footing with the Goddess of Light.
There is nothing that cannot be known.

After all, this journey is coming to an end soon.
I’m going to the clam castle, and I’m going to break up with the crew here.

“I was once a god too.
He wasn’t a great god like Shia. For some reason, I was reborn as a human now.”

“Has the world been exposed to the demonic threat?
You are fighting for it…”

I laughed.
If I was a cool person to fight for that reason…
That day in the woods, with his head down, waiting for someone to talk to him.
Could I have met Sia?

Could this sordid story ever begin?

“I do not know.”

“Yes…?”

I’m a no-brainer
I have no idea what to do when this happens.
So I decided to do what I am good at.

“Forget what I said to Shia.
What was before your eyes was once a god, but became a human.
An adventurer, a candidate for hero, and a member of the guerrilla… A colleague who shares the same purpose with you.”

“…”

Blam nodded quietly.

“I get it.
Then… I won’t ask anymore.
What is the countermeasure to cross that fire wall?”

“As I said before, it’s not to the point of being called a countermeasure.
Only me and Lisa go to the Demon Castle.”

Blam’s expression hardened.

“What does that mean? Does it mean we become burdens?
If there is a way to get past… !”

“I’m going to ask Seoyeon to move it.”

Blam shut his mouth, barely realizing what he meant.

“You know what I mean?
No matter how Seoyeon is, it is burdensome to walk back and forth over that long distance with one person in her arms.
It will take time. If I had to pick one person who could pass, it would be Lisa.”

“…”

“Seo Yeon-ah, how are you?
Can you carry at least one person?”

Seoyeon nodded her head.

“If it’s just one person.
There, I have wings so I can go with my brother. Hyeonu oppa, I want you to stay by my side.”

“That’s not allowed.
Even after we leave, the guerrillas won’t be able to move from this spot for a while.
If another wyvern rider appears on the cliff, Seoyeon wants you to protect her.”

Suetonius quietly raised his hand.

“Decal.
I see what you mean.
However… Did you say ‘about one’? Decal said they were going together.”

“I’m going to jump across.”

“Is that possible?”

“Is it possible.”

Answer briefly
No one asked why.
Now, even if I said I could cut mountains, everyone would think I would.

“Lisa. Decide.”

“Is this the best?”

“Unless it rains.”

“…That’s not what I want to ask.”

Lisa shot me.

“〈 I’m asking if it’s the best method you’ve thought of.”

“…”

How many did you notice?
Neris and Herka knew it a long time ago, and while they knew it, they pretended not to know it.
The fact that if I ask the goddess, we can easily get over it all together.
It was clear that Lisa was also considering such a possibility given the circumstances.

But I…
〈 There is no other way. He insisted that he and Lisa should go to the Demon Castle alone.
Lisa is asking whether it is true or false.

Sharp
I’m guessing he’s not a warrior.
I was amazed at my hidden malice.
However, don’t be shaken.

Being suspicious by a woman isn’t something I’ve experienced once or twice, so I’ve reached a point where I enjoy it.

“Okay.”

“I will believe
Listen up, crew members. Erase the traces as soon as the lights go out and wait for me,
Watch the gap and enter the demon castle. Blam is in charge of field command.”

“Yes!
I will definitely follow.”

“There’s no need to rush if you’re one step late anyway.
Move carefully.”

While Lisa was talking to the crew, I approached Seoyeon.

“Yeonah Seo. Move Lisa to the other side.”

“…Hmm. I’m a hero? I think my hand will slip.”

Seoyeon fidgets as if she wants something.
I immediately hugged Seoyeon.

“Ah…”

“You shouldn’t have slippery hands.”

Seoyeon’s ears turned red.

“It’s not slippery anymore… Yes.”

“Carry it safely to the other side. Please.”

Seoyeon nodded her head.
It’s time.

“My lord, take care of yourself.
I’ll follow you soon.”

“Don’t overdo it.”

“Decal is something I need to get closer to from now on. I can’t die…”

Seeing Neris and Herka worrying about me,
She felt that her time at Mel Brit was not wasted.

“I’ll be back.”

Seoyeon took Lisa and flew up.

“Decal. I’ll go first and wait.”

“Okay.”

Seeing off the distant two with their eyes, they prepare to go into the fire.
Noticed that Lisa wasn’t wearing her helmet.
Did you forget
It’s not like Lisa.

Even if it was said that it was because it was urgent during the Georyong.
From now on, Lisa is not going to neglect her equipment when she goes to fight with the demon king.
I felt a strange sense of discomfort.

With the goal of defeating the demon lord in front of you.
What is Lisa preoccupied with?
Well, that’s something you should find out now.

Because I deliberately made time for just the two of us.
I rode the wind spirit and jumped into the fire.
As planned, he meets Lisa at the end of the bridge and breaks up with Seo-yeon.

“I’ll have to walk from here.”

“Yes. There’s nowhere to hide anyway. Let’s walk confidently.”

“…”

Lisa took the lead without saying a word.
I was confident that I wouldn’t be surprised if something came out because I was getting in the way of everything on the bridge.
We didn’t get in the way until we reached the Devil’s Castle.

The sun was setting behind the castle.

“Where, shall we find a place to hide?”

“Go to the front.”

“I knew it.”

Lisa picked Bless.
The thick castle gate cracked open and collapsed.
Inside… Dark. Although candlelight was lit at regular intervals in the hallway, it was far from enough to illuminate the vast interior of the castle.

“It’s strange.”

“Okay.
I thought it was strange for a while. The Demon King doesn’t show up.
If you’re fighting on the threshold of your own house, you’d want to come out and see.”

“…”

It seems to be looking at an abandoned house that has been neglected for a long time.
At first, I felt like I wanted to scream out loud and run into it.
After seeing the desolate interior of the castle, that feeling had gone somewhere.

“Decal. I have a story I want to talk to you about. It’s an important story.”
