Chapter 85 – 85. A Hero Who Wants to Raise Somehow.

Kang A-jin collapsed and Princess Islan took care of it.
As a result of aggressively using the blessing of the World Tree, he succeeded in defending against Amon’s curse.

“Whoa, it wasn’t an easy fight.”

Princess Islan let go of his hand, wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Loa hurriedly wiped Princess Islan’s hands.
He hurriedly erased the traces as if he had smeared them with dirt.

It was the hand that had been rubbing Kang Ah-jin’s cock just before.
To Roa, it was on a par with being stained with filth.

“Kang A-jin… !”

The bubbling black bubbles disappeared in an instant.
The color of the saggy pepper is gradually returning.

His panting breath also returned to its place.
Looking at Kang Ah-jin’s face, who was soundly asleep, I was able to put my worries down.

Ash glanced at Princess Islan and spoke with her sincerity.

“… Thanks.”
“…”

Ash’s thanks.
A human who is not strong enough to cut down a 7th tier demon with a single blade, and is crazy enough to tremble with the plague in the realm of Yggdrasil.
A sincere thanks from such a woman.

Princess Islan was deeply moved.
She had done countless good deeds, but there were no words more gratifying than Ash’s gratitude.

“I won’t wake up soon though. Because it’s a human body. At least fortnight? That much needs to be calmed down.”

Princess Islan came up with a rough guess.
The blessing of the World Tree and the curse of Amon were all around him, so there was no way his body would be fine.
You will wake up only after going through the recovery process through rest.

“Yes, fortnight… I can be patient enough.”

Ash hugged Kang Ah-jin and groaned.
Compared to the time she had spent alone before her return, about a fortnight was nothing.

“And now the blessing is gone. Since the blessing of the World Tree that dwelled in Mr. Kang Ah-jin’s body is gone, it’s the same as before…”

Princess Islan slurred her words.
She couldn’t finish the sentence, with the same vigor as before.

Ash nodded her head.
I roughly understood Princess Islan’s words.
Thanks to Yggdrasil’s blessing, he enjoyed infinite stamina, but now Kang Ah-jin’s stamina has returned to the level of an ordinary man.

‘I do not care.’

Good or bad energy, Kang Ah-jin is Kang Ah-jin.
It wasn’t for that reason that Ash fell in love with him.
In the first place, he hadn’t even been in a relationship before returning.

‘All I have to do is stay alive.’

Ash put pants on Kang Ah-jin.
And he lifted vigorously.
Kang A-jin, who is drooping, is hugged like a princess.

I couldn’t put it on the cold floor, so I thought of putting it on a bed in a warm room.
It would be more comfortable from Kang A-jin’s point of view.

“This way!”

The village chief, who came to his senses, guided me to the room.
The devil caused a commotion, but thanks to his age and experience, he was able to quickly recover.

‘Our village lived.’

They have no idea that it happened because of the head of the grape that Ash is carrying.
He was so shocked that he lost some of his memories.
I completely forgot the scene where the head popped up and spewed demonic energy.

A wicked warlock summoned a demon, but the warrior Ashe stopped it.
That was all the village chief remembered.

Ash laid the dog on the bed.
The appearance of moaning in pain from before is nowhere to be found.
You don’t know how fortunate I am to see you sleeping soundly.

Whether or not she knew what she was thinking, Kang Ah-jin started snoring at her.
It’s a style I don’t usually wear.

‘I wonder if it was such a tough struggle?’

A power struggle between the world tree and the devil unfolded.
Even if they look fine on the outside, there’s no way they’ll be fine on the inside.

The accumulated fatigue is expressed in this way.

Ash carefully stroked the sleeping Kang Ah-jin’s cheek.
Live.
I felt the warmth of the living, not the chill of the dead.

Maybe I’ll lose something
When Amon’s curse was just beginning to manifest, it was really scary.

‘… Still, I thought I was much stronger than before.’

It wasn’t.
I realized that even if I was good at cutting a knife, I could not protect Kang Ah-jin.
She was still a long way off.

Ash did not think of leaving Kang A-jin’s side.
Even when Princess Islan and Loa called, he only spat out an answer on the spot.

“You rest too. Spending today here… I am going to the big city tomorrow.”

Big cities are better than small towns.
I wanted to let Kang Ah-jin rest in a better place.

“Okay. Have a good rest, warrior.”

She didn’t seem to be able to sleep at all, but Princess Islan said that as a courtesy and she withdrew.

After a while, a commotion broke out in the village.
It was because the paladins in white armor came pouring in.

The village chief was busy without blinking his eyes.
He welcomed the outsiders at a time when he had to pick up the villagers.

“Where is the warrior?”

Less than an hour had passed since he cut down the demon.
The Sun God Church had dispatched the Holy Knights.

The village chief pointed to a building in the distance.
It is a two-story country house.

“I am at home over there.”
“… Were you seriously injured?”

Invisible.
It’s a situation where you have to clean up the battlefield and do post-processing, but there are no really important warriors.
As a human being, I was worried.

“No. I remember there were no injuries.”
“Then what the hell…”

To Paul’s question, the leader of the Holy Knights, the village chief did not give a specific answer.
He was hesitant to speak.

“You guys, take care of the village and inspect it. If there is anything unusual, report it after the synthesis.”
“Yep! All right!”

Paul spread his subordinate Paladins to extract the magic of Veruso Village and check its condition.
I heard about it from the village chief, but I did a more detailed investigation to report it to the upper level.

No deaths, demon is 7th rank Amon.
The devil’s scheme, which can be counted within ten fingers, was stopped by the hero.

This is what the mayor said.
I can’t believe it, but I have to believe it.

Who is the hero who faced the devil?
Is it fine?

‘… There’s no way he’ll be fine.’

Face the devil
No matter how outstanding a hero is, he has no choice but to fight fiercely to the death.
He would have gone to great lengths to protect other humans.

The reason the village chief hesitated to speak was probably because the hero’s condition was not good.

Paul followed the village chief to see the hero.
There were things he needed to hear directly from the warrior.
I hoped that the spirit of the warrior would be intact.

“… Warrior?”

Paul entered the room calling for a warrior.
At the voice calling her name, Ash turned her head.
But Paul passed Ash.

I didn’t dare to think that the warrior who fought the devil would be awake.
The warrior’s holy sword was roughly hanging on the wall.

He naturally drew closer to Jin Kang.
It was to check his condition.

Drooling-.

At that moment, Ash aimed the Holy Sword.
He pushed the chair he was sitting on and stood up.

“… Suck…”

A sharp blade flowed down the neck of the Holy Knight Commander Paul.
What if you went one step further?
It would have been cut without a hitch.

Paul noticed belatedly that the woman standing in front of her was the hero, not the fallen man.

“You are a warrior.”
“Doesn’t the church even show the warrior’s face these days?”
“… Well…”

He defeated many demons.
The personal information should have already been known to the church.

But Paul, the commander of the Holy Knights, doesn’t know anything.
I saw Ash’s face for the first time today.

“I’ll have to stop by sometime.”

Ash did not ask for long.
I had a rough idea of ​​what the church was thinking.

‘… They seem to be controlling my information.’

Ashe’s achievements are so great that other warriors may feel burdened.
Because of this, he hid what Ash had done without telling him.

As a result, information about Ash Grayfield has spread only to the upper echelons of the Church or to high-ranking nobles.

It wasn’t that only a few people knew about it.
No matter how denomination is, it is impossible to block word of mouth.
Even the people in the city near the source where the demon was summoned knew of Ash’s existence.

Right there.
Paul, the commander of the Holy Knights, was out of the question.
I didn’t know anything about Ash.

“Sorry.”

I don’t know why, but I feel like I need to apologize.

Ash glanced at Paul and lowered the holy sword.
He didn’t know why Paul, the leader of the Holy Knights, had come this far.

“If you tell me everything about what happened, then will you just go back?”
“Yes, that’s right. We need an explanation of the achievements the warrior has made.”
“Whoa…”

Ash frowned and opened his mouth slowly.
He skipped a lot of intermediate information and spoke.

Like the existence of the warlock Grape, or that he intentionally induced the summoning of demons.
It’s something you’ll have to find out someday, but…
For now, I decided to hide it.

“… That’s how the devil appeared.”
“Ah…”
“I destroyed it. You know that much, don’t you?”
“Are you talking about extinction?”

The warriors defeated the demons.
In other words, it means that the demon summoned in the human world was cast out to the demon world.

Ash defeated him in a different way.
Really erased from this world.
The angelic lineage made it possible.

‘… I think I’ve heard of it.’

After deciding to become a paladin, Paul studied the doctrines of the Church of the Sun God.
It was written in the doctrine that the power of the sun god would burn evil.

The sun god is the sky, and the angels are the celestial race.

‘Then the hero is an angel?’

To be precise, he is a half-angel.
But it was enough.

“All right. Thank you for your words.”

Paul was very polite to Ash.
And he immediately got out of his seat and called his men together.

“They say the hero killed the devil.”
“Other colleagues said no. The elves accompanied them, but I heard they were squatting with them?”
“… It is said that it was cut with a single knife. It’s a child’s word, so write it…”

After synthesizing the statements of his men, Paul was able to draw one conclusion.

‘I think I should ask the upper echelons?’

Paul immediately returned to the church branch to write the report.
A week later, he was called to Church headquarters.

Saints, saints, and popes.
It was only after he faced up to the 12 Cardinals that he was completely liberated.

‘Um, I’ll have to forget about it.’

The upper echelons of the Church of the Sun God ordered him to mute.
