I Quit the Hero’s Party Chapter 510

* * *

* * *

The Gray Wizard has returned.

The gray wizard returned to the heart of Arcadia, to the place where everything ended and everything began. Every time the gray wizard took a step, the mana he had lost bloomed.

It’s almost a thousand years.

Now, the time I spent living as a street vendor in the back alleys was longer than the time I was called the Grand Wizard. It was long, but he never forgot his past even for a moment. Therefore, he was always the queen’s subject, the hero’s companion, and the great sage who walked a long way to find the answer.

“Tap,” he said.

Cardi van Armiel steps to the altar.

A stench oscillating from all directions and a festering curse greeted Cardi. Cardi let out a long breath and raised his head and looked in front of him.

“I’m going.”

Cardi said.

To Raniel, and to myself.

Dragging his mana, Cardi walked towards the depths of the altar. To put an end to the long, long thousand years. To fulfill my duties as a subject of the queen, an ancient hero, and an ashen wizard.

The first gray took a step.

“I’m going.”

Cardi’s voice rang in my ears.

Raniel looked down at the chained demon king. Wriggling grasps, screaming heads of dead things, and vibrating resentment.

Raniel smiled inadvertently as he faced the true body of the shadow. This is because he discovered the sword marks engraved on the body. The traces of the blow that Kyle Torben would have engraved that day.

Ganicalt van Galatrik reduced the perfect God to an imperfect being. Kyle Torben took immortality away from God. If so, he must also achieve a feat commensurate with it.

widely.

Raniel stepped on the chain and took a step forward. One step, two steps, three steps… each time he repeated the steps, Raniel got a little faster. She grabbed the air as she started to run, now stepping on her chains.

Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Raniel pulled the chain wrapped around his right hand.

The single chain wrapped around her right hand is the starting point of all chains. Soaring from the waves, soaring in the air… its starting point is tied to Raniel’s hand.

The moment I pulled it, the chain became taut.

The platinum-colored chains tightened their grip on the Demon King and began to burrow into his skin. Raniel stepped on the tensioned chain and took a big leap. She twisted her body as she floated in the air. Her fists were clenched tightly.

kkirik, kkirik…

The circuit that Raniel had engraved on his palm rotated with a noise like clock hands spinning. The rotating circuit is a circuit that Raniel is more familiar with than anything else. I haven’t had anything to use since I became a hero, but there was a time when I depended on this circuit to survive.

A circuit that was carved into one’s heart in the past.

This is the circuit that suppressed and burned the shadow that was eating away at my soul. Because of this circuit, he was able to come this far. I was able to survive because I had the answer I found that day…

“Come back, Kelhalm.”

Kelhalm, who had swallowed the shadow, was saved.

“Maybe we already knew how to save Kyle. “All I had to do was take one step forward from the answer you and I found that day.”

I was able to save Kyle, who had become a vessel of shade.

“You’re a bold junior, really.”

“Indeed, was this what you were aiming for from the beginning?”

It made it possible for ancient heroes to meet their end as mere humans, not as a disaster. In the end, whether it was a reverse lightning or something else, it all started from this one circuit.

Raniel van Trias has always been looking for answers.

She has always taken into her own hands the answers that will lead to the best outcome. The same is true at this moment. Her circuitry spun violently as she grasped it in her hand. She spun and began to burn.

Curse to Ashes.

A gray flame arose.

A flame began to burn, using the chain as a fuse. Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of chains became flames and burned the demon king’s skin. The Demon King screamed as the chains burned. It started shaking and breaking the chain.

As expected, this is not enough.

But this is something I already knew.

The gray flame was a flame that burned the shadows, but Raniel knew that simple flames did not have enough fire power. Well, it was a lesson I learned while dealing with Kyle that day.

Raniel did not let the realization he gained that day pass by. He captured it and made it his own. That’s why he created reverse lightning, and that’s why he created this one spell.

Hwareuk.

The burning flames fluttered for a moment.

The gray flames began to transform into different forms. From flames to dark red lightning, from lightning to something again…

The flame endlessly changes into something else.

The flame, which only insisted on the form of flame, accepts that other forms can also be the answer, just like the life of its owner. The fire changes constantly, but it never forgets its essence.

That’s how the flame reaches its destination.

A spell that can be created because she was consumed by the shadow and embraced the shadow, but was able to overcome it. The unique spell created by Raniel Van Trias shined. In a way, it is like the life she has lived.

The one way.

A path created by doing your best and building up your best.

The path of a delusional person who only insists on the best outcome.

However, the path of a hero is achieved by realizing the delusion in reality.

There is only one path that leads to unwavering beliefs.

Hwareuk.

The blazing flames, the bouncing dark red lightning, the fluttering ash, and the chains containing them all overlapped into one. That completion is the only path to the ending. The completed road shined before Raniel’s eyes.

The path she completed with her life.

The blazing road leads towards the center of the Demon King. Raniel ran along the road. As she passed, her path became a flame and she was wrapped in Raniel’s hand. She wrapped herself around her.

————————!

The Demon King let out a roar and stretched out his hand towards Raniel. With his gigantic grip, the devil wants to break the road leading to his center… but the road never breaks. Just as my master never bent, nothing can bend the one path.

Acceleration.

Raniel ran down the road.

Countless hands rushed in to block Raniel, but Raniel broke through them all with his bare body. There is nothing left in her path.

Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands.

No matter what obstacles came his way, Raniel did not give up. He didn’t stop. On the contrary, he accelerated further towards the front. Because that was the way she lived. Because that was Raniel’s life.

and.

She’s not the only one running.

A place far from here, but ultimately connected to the shadows. Cardi was also running there. Cardi’s gray hair was flowing. The great sage’s robe he wore fluttered wildly.

Cardi van Armiel became a great sage and ran.

Just like in the past. I ran with all my might, just like when I ran through the horse race with my colleagues a long time ago. Every time he took a step, the mana he drew up clawed everywhere. To stop himself from running towards the altar, Cardi burned all the objects that were spreading out.

Gray flames soared.

This is a spell that gained enlightenment from Raniel’s spell. Gray flames, even darker than Raniel’s, burned the old object. By burning, Cardi moved forward. A path was visible in his eyes.

This is the path I dreamed of with my colleagues.

However, it is a path that I was never able to complete.

At this moment, when he was running as a great sage, Cardi remembered the long past. Cardi smiled as she remembered her colleagues. Although I was running alone, I felt like I was not alone.

‘iced coffee···.’

Cardi laughed.

Yes, there were people who formed to subdue the Demon King. They existed in the distant past.

Shadow Dragon Shaman, Belial Van Dragonic.

The first saint, Gleria Bel Armias.

Champion, Ganicalt Van Galatric.

And yourself.

Great Sage, Cardi Van Armiel.

All the heroes who ran across the shadow-covered continent fell. They didn’t reach the end in the end. But at this moment, in this place, Cardi makes a statement. Their journey is not over yet.

I.

Because I’m still running.

If I reach the end of that place and burn the heart of the devil, if our successor destroys the source of shadow at the end of the continent… our journey will be successful.

‘Isn’t that so, Gleria?’

Ganichalt. Belial.

Cardi laughed as she thought over the names of her colleagues. He was grazed by a hand coming through the flames and bled, but he was not in pain. Before we knew it, Cardi was approaching the end of the road.

There is a heart at the end.

There is the heart of the shadow that he could not burn, the center of the curse that created the shadow. If you destroy that, Raniel at the end of the continent will be able to approach the ‘spirit that became the mother of shadow’.

While pondering the plans he and Raniel had made for him, Cardi snapped his fingers at the heart placed on the altar. The flames he had created fluctuated violently for a moment. Even though a thousand years have passed, Cardi has not forgotten this spell.

A spell that was like his symbol.

The sun suddenly rose in the depths of the Red Palace.

The sun, filled with gray flames, burned away the curses stuck to the wall. I burned all the resentment that filled the hallway. However, it still lacks firepower.

“Take it, everything.”

That’s why Cardi offered it.

All of the mana he had received back was extracted from his body once again. This will be the last spell he performs as a great sage. It was okay to never be able to use magic again.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The elf’s tenacity that had endured for a thousand years flared up. The sun became even bigger. The sun, which had become twice as big, engulfed the heart of the shade placed on the altar. My heart began to burn as I made a sound.

The burning sun blinked loudly.

Immediately after, a strong flash of light followed by an enormous amount of heat hit the red bow. And at exactly the same moment… Raniel also reached the end of the road. Raniel, who reached the center of the Demon King, swung his clenched fist.

The two gray wizards reached the destination at the same time.

The gray sun rose in the depths of Arcadia. The rising sun engulfed the entire Red Palace and burned all traces of demons remaining in Arcadia. A purifying flame engulfed Arcadia.

At the edge of the continent, in the great plains, a roar that shook the heavens and earth rang out. The aftermath of the explosion shook the ground and sky, with flames rising to the sky. A storm raged, and water splashed in all directions.

With a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the demon king’s true body burst into flames. The heads of all the dead things that were caught in the explosion fell off from the shadow’s grasp. All the elements that make up the Demon King were burned and reduced to ashes.

Throwing in.

A huge hole opened in the Demon King’s true body.

What has accumulated in that hole is black water. What was seen in that well-like place… was the fallen soul that became the mother of the Demon King. The soul and Raniel made eye contact.

The moment we met each other’s eyes, Raniel realized.

That is the soul of the last queen of Arcadia.

“······!”

Kyle’s eyes, who had been enduring the swirling heat and storm with gritted teeth, opened wide. Kyle also saw the same thing as Raniel. A pitch-black soul that exists at the center of the hole-filled Demon King.

Kyle had encountered that spirit once in the past.

“Raniel!”

Kyle shouted urgently.

“Step back! That’s…!”

That soul came out of the remains of the Demon King on the day he cut him down. The owner of the voice that swallowed him up and whispered in his ear. That is a being outside the world that could not be cut with even one’s own sword and that nothing could intervene in.

This was the moment when Kyle, who had become desperate, was about to rush towards Raniel.

Even though he heard Kyle’s voice, Raniel rushed towards the queen’s soul looking at him. She stretched out her hand towards her dark soul. and···.

Sigh.

Contrary to Kyle’s expectations, Raniel grabbed the soul. It must be something outside the world that can’t be influenced by anything, so how on earth?

···If things had been the same, Raniel would not have been able to intervene in that soul. They would have had to subdue the demon king by simply ignoring the souls and burning all the black water containing the souls. However, that is not the ending Raniel seeks.

‘What I want, what I was asked to do…’

Denying the origin of the devil.

To give rest to the soul of the queen captured there.

For that purpose, Cardi headed to Arcadia and burned the heart of the Demon King placed on the altar. Through him, Raniel was able to intervene in that soul.

“Let’s go together.”

I think we have a lot to talk about.

Raniel jumped into the well, muttering and holding the black spirit’s head. With a splash, the well swallowed Raniel and the queen’s souls.
