The demon king’s body disappeared.
The fact that the body of the last queen of Arcadia, the mother of the shadow, was destroyed meant that the shadow had lost its purpose. The shadow that was heading across the continent to the tower at the end stopped in place.
The shaking of the ground stopped.
The rain that had been coloring the sky black stopped.
All phenomena that occurred due to the movement of the shadow stopped for an instant. The shadow, which had lost its purpose, stopped in place and waved violently. Black hands protruding from the waves hit the ground and clawed at the ground.
—————.
The heads of dead things protruding from the black debris opened their mouths and howled. The earth and sky shook as if resonating with the screams of a false god. The shadow that lost its chance to regain its body just let out a scream.
Shoot.
Rain fell from the black sky.
The ground scratched by the shade became furrows, and the rain flowing down the furrows eventually became a river. Above the black river, the shadow screamed endlessly. So that the sky is torn apart.
And, that scream reached someone.
Not to a god beyond the sky, nor to the end of the world, but to a human who was approaching the temple of shadow.
“······.”
Raniel van Trias.
The gray wizard looked at the Demon King in silence.
The Demon King, who had been moving all along, stopped.
It is clawing at the ground and screaming towards the sky. Even from this far away place, the screams were fully audible. A scream that seems to scratch your eardrums and shake your brain.
Raniel laughed as he listened to the screams.
The demon king stopped. The scream of a demon lord who has lost his purpose.
For Raniel, it was a signal. A signal that the punitive force that had headed to the edge of the continent had completed its mission. Raniel let out a long breath at that fact.
Ganicalt was defeated.
The madman has been subdued.
There was nothing blocking the way anymore.
He had overcome all the difficult and difficult conditions, and now there was only one enemy left in front of him. Raniel, who had been watching the Demon King swaying in the distance, soon turned his gaze.
Crack, crack, crack.
She looked at the bonfire in front of her.
I saw Kyle sitting across from the campfire. Kyle, who was looking at the howling Demon King, shrugged her shoulders.
“It looks like your students were successful.”
“I told you I raised you well.”
“So is there only one left?”
“That’s right.”
The only enemy left is the Demon King.
Instead of pondering that fact and organizing his thoughts, Raniel inadvertently burst into laughter. Kyle, who did not understand her laughter, tilted his head.
“···What?”
“Hey, isn’t it funny when you think about it?”
Raniel let out a long sigh and said.
“In the end, it turned out as I said in the beginning.”
“···first?”
“The day you became a hero. Do you remember what you said to me that day?”
Kyle flinched and his shoulders trembled.
It happened more than ten years ago, and now it has become a shameful memory. Especially when you think about the actions you took afterwards.
“···I remember.”
You have become a hero, Raniel.
Let’s catch the devil. Come catch the devil with me. We are accomplishing a feat that no one has ever achieved. So that no one can ignore it.
While thinking over the words he had said, Kyle also inadvertently burst into laughter. When I think about it now, those words were truly absurd. These were the words of a boy who had not yet become an adult, and were reckless and delusional.
“It was a very immature time.”
It was a dream dreamed by a boy who could not face reality.
A dream that a boy could never achieve alone.
“It’s ridiculous.”
“Kyle, do you know what the Demon Lord is? Do you know what kind of disaster is? That’s not something I made you catch in the first place. “It’s impossible.”
There was a wizard who spoke at length to inform the dreaming boy of reality. However, the wizard was ultimately unable to break the boy’s stubbornness.
「···Phew.」
“okay. “I knew.”
Sighing, the wizard laid down everything and followed the boy on his journey. Recalling that past, Kyle smiled bitterly.
“I didn’t realize when I was listening to you how much of what I said made no sense…”
“It was a little different because I experienced it in real life, right?”
“That’s right. Because reality wasn’t like a fairy tale.”
The boy and wizard on the journey had to face reality. The battlefield is not a fairy tale. The world is not that easy. People die. Responsibility arises. Someone’s sacrifice, a given responsibility, a weight that piles up on our shoulders…
The more I faced reality, the farther away my dream became.
My shoulders became heavy and my steps became slower.
The boy gave up and became a young man, and the wizard moved forward, dragging the collapsed young man by the collar. He paved the way on behalf of the youth. took responsibility. He did his duty.
“I was the one who said let’s catch the demon lord…”
Kyle looked at Raniel.
Although he looked much different from the beginning, Raniel was still Raniel. The wizard who showed the way.
“It was you who walked away. It was you who kept holding on to the dream I had given up on.”
“Well, we just went back a long way.”

Raniel shrugged his shoulders.
“Because I ended up coming back here.”
she laughed
“If you think about it, yes. I went around and around a long way, but in the end, it ended up just like you said that day.”
After defeating all disasters, we reached the Demon King.
He achieved a feat that no one else has achieved. The same goes for Kyle Torben and Raniel van Trias.
The boy became a young man, and the young man became a prosecutor and became a special being who could not be replaced by anyone. As a warrior, the young man cut down the demon king’s immortality, and as a swordsman, he carved out a feat by defeating the strongest swordsman.
The wizard became a wise man, and the wise man became a warrior and a light that illuminates the future path of mankind. As a warrior, he conquered all disasters and guided humanity, and as a wise man, he put an end to the story of heroes that had been going on since ancient times.
Each person lived their own life.
Even though I may have wavered, hesitated, and regretted it, I turned around and reached the place I first looked at. The two people laughed out loud across the campfire. Kyle said, laughing as if it was absurd.
“After wasting all the intermediate steps, I ended up saying, ‘It happened just as I said, right?’ “Rani. Isn’t that a bit like that? Raniel.”
“What do you think? That’s what happened in the end.”
Raniel shrugged his shoulders.
“What started with your words that day ended up here, right?”
A lot happened.
I experienced a lot and learned a lot. Between the beginning of his journey and now, there were a lot of things that couldn’t be summarized in one word, but Raniel didn’t bother to mention them.
“What matters is that we are here.”
Raniel pointed to the bonfire.
The place where they lit a bonfire and waited for the signal was at the end of the magic area where the Temple of Shade was located. In the end, they reached the deepest part of the demon world.
The delusion of an immature boy became a reality.
The guide brought the boy’s dream to this place.
It is the destination reached after growing and growing. Two people, each living their own lives, stood up. Kyle stepped on the bonfire to extinguish the embers, and Raniel let out a long breath and relaxed.
—————!
The two people looked at the demon king who was crying in the distance. In the past, I sometimes thought of this kind of scenery. After growing and becoming stronger, I imagined a distant future where I reached the devil.
But, there was no need for that anymore.
Because the person standing here is exactly what my past self dreamed of being. The two people let out a long breath.
“Are you ready?”
“Do you really need to prepare anything?”
“Anyway, kid.”
Raniel laughed.
Smiling, she took a step forward. Kyle also took a step forward. Regardless of who went first, the two stood in the same position and walked with the same stride.
“Don’t run away again like you did before?”
“Don’t you cough up blood and pass out.”
The two walked while joking.
The more I walked, the stronger my demon energy became. The screaming became even more intense. There was a time when I was scared by that demon, that scream, and that force and ran away. There were times when I had to sacrifice my life to take a step forward.
Because there were times like that.
Now the two people talked as if nothing had happened and walked towards the Demon King. The moment they stepped into the area of shadow, the movement of the shadow changed completely.
Knock, knock.
The rain stopped falling.
The arm that was swinging at the shadow stopped. The shadow’s howl stopped. The shadow saw people coming towards it. It is a shadow that tramples on countless people and reigns like a god in the sky.
They say it is a shadow that has swallowed up countless heroes and warriors.
He couldn’t even ignore the presence of two humans approaching him. I know the shade. Their existence. A swordsman who stole his immortality from himself, and a wizard who plucked himself from the vessel he was trying to become perfect and made him imperfect.
The beings who had defeated him were right in front of him.
The Demon King, the owner of ten thousand demons, howled at the two humans approaching him. The rain that had stopped poured down and the flowing river overflowed and covered the two people. The two lightly shook their hands in front of the pouring waste.
Sreung.
Kyle Torben raised his sword.
Crank.
The chain wrapped around Raniel’s hand glowed platinum.
Cooung.
Without worrying about who went first, the two people kicked off the ground and rushed toward the overflowing shade.
There was a warrior party.
It was a party formed to defeat the devil, and it was a party formed with the expectations of the entire country.
Kyle Torben, humanity’s greatest swordsman.
A proud elf, Shrine Remia.
Sarah, a priest who performs miracles.
and.
I am a warrior, a wise man, and a gray wizard.
Raniel van Trias.
Our party of four achieved numerous achievements. He made a name for himself on the continent, defeated the Demon King’s army several times, and accomplished the feat of subduing all four disasters.
Is that all there is?
It put an end to the story of ancient heroes involved in disasters, and the story of the ancient kingdom of Arcadia and the secret madman behind it were subdued. And finally, the subjugation of the Demon King… Ah, this is not over yet.
Because this is currently in progress.
I stretched my hand forward.
“Libra.”
Not balance, but balance.
Not the scales of a wizard who trades everything, but the star armor I possess as a warrior. The moment I grabbed the scale that appeared in front of me, it shattered.
One opportunity saved for this day.
It seeped into my body along with the smashed scale. What dwells in my body along with the shattering star weapon is the starlight that I acquired in exchange for my life during my first encounter with the Demon King that day. Thinking back to that day that was now a long time ago, I grabbed hold of the air.
Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
A platinum chain soaring high into the sky.
That day I had to hold on to the demon lord alone with these chains, but now it is different. Unlike that day, it was not my role to hold down the Demon King today.
“Go, Raniel.”
Kyle laughed through the soaring chains.
The guy shouted while laughing.
“I will open the way.”
The guy who adjusted his grip on the sword let out a long breath.
He stomped his foot on the ground and struck the air with his sword. I laughed, looking at the sword energy swirling around like a storm.
The battle to subjugate the Demon King, the master of ten thousand demons.
Commencement.
