I Ended My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero - I Ended My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero chapter 17

17 – Warrior Party after Allan left (8) – Despair

Andros couldn’t overcome the fear he felt at this moment.

He just did what his instincts told him to do and he just ran away.

You can never win against a guy like that.

Andros worked hard to rationalize himself.

‘Anyway… I’m not an opponent I can beat…’

I can’t protect my party members.

So the only thing I could do was run away.

No… I couldn’t even run away.

“Do you think we’ll let Jim get away with it?”

A black shadow came out of the demon king’s hand.

The shadows pursued Andros. He grabbed his arms and legs.

Then dragged him and dragged him back to the demon king.

Andros stood in front of the demon king again.

The demon king strangled Andros.

“It’s so…”

Andros suffered from his choking.

However, the demon king began to strangle the suffering Andros even harder.

The demon king’s expression was much more stern than before.

She was in a pretty bad mood right now.

“Hmm… You’re different from that guy.”

In the past, the demon king had memories of meeting Alan.

The Demon King descended directly to defeat the warrior party that defeated the Four Heavenly Kings.

The man who fought against such a demon king, the hero Alan.

That Alan fought admirably against himself, the Demon King.

It was a body exhausted from the previous confrontation with the Four Heavenly Kings, but it desperately endured the demon king’s attack.

With one single thought to protect his colleagues.

Despite the fact that the Demon King didn’t care at all for just that thought, Alan managed to evacuate his comrades to safety.

And he himself escaped from the demon king.

A truly miraculous thing, it was Alan who did it.

But what the hell is this man doing now?

“Alan, that man never ran away in a situation like this. He made me do a great job defending his comrades and then he ran away. But what about you?”

When Andros stopped the saintess and the thief in the first moment.

The demon lord looked at this man as Allan.

So it was quite fun. This man also looked forward to whether he would be able to successfully protect his comrades from himself.

“Jim is very upset right now.”

By the way… What this man did was just run away.

Abandoning his comrades, he was simply running away.

Of course, the Demon King, who saw that, couldn’t help but feel dirty.

Just the fact that Alan was superimposed on a man like this.

“Kooooouk…”

The demon king’s grip continued to grow.

The strangled Andros continued to struggle, but there was nothing more he could do here.

The moment of desperation right before death,

The last thing that came to Andros’ mind at this moment was Alan.

‘Alan… I think I know now.’

Andros.

He was born into a famous aristocratic family.

Born as an illegitimate son, he had no choice but to grow up very ignorant because he was not an official heir, so he did not receive any kind of education…

He was a son of an aristocratic family, so he had a lot of money, and he was pretty handsome.

However, there was no woman who liked Andros like that.

Of course, there were a lot of girls who were targeting him because he had good skills and conditions, but

There was no woman who approached Andros with genuine interest.

Andros had no idea why.

He had no idea why he wasn’t paying attention to himself.

He kept asking questions.

In that situation, Andros met Alan.

‘I didn’t know why Allan was so popular…’

From noble mtl dot com

It was clear that Alan was also a very proud man.

When Andros first met Allan, Allan was a warrior and quite strong.

On top of that, he had a lot of money. Alan’s condition was as good as himself.

Looking at Alan, Andros thought that in a way he might be a guy similar to himself.

However, he and Alan were very different.

‘I really couldn’t understand it.’

Unlike himself, who was only attracted to flower snakes, Alan had many women who genuinely liked him.

Andros couldn’t understand why.

Why is Alan so popular…

Guided by that question, Andros joined the warrior party.

However, the question was not resolved.

He couldn’t figure it out no matter how much time passed.

But… Now, at this moment, I came to know.

He realized it only at the last moment.

‘I was a coward unlike you, Alan…’

Then he died.

Pud Deuk…

Andros’ neck was broken because he couldn’t overcome the demon king’s grip, and Andros’ struggles stopped.

The demon king threw away Andros, who had become cold, as if he was not interested.

And he didn’t give me a glance, as if he wasn’t interested at all, and looked at the next person.

“Now. So, are you next?”

The demon lord looked at Miner, who was still losing his mind and was being treated.

She was her saintess, Nerah, who was treating her diligently.

Now that there are only two left…

Originally, I was going to play with it, but my mood just got worse, and I no longer want to enjoy it.

“Hey…”

That’s how the demon king walked toward the two, and it was the moment he was about to end them.

Nerah had no choice but to close her eyes tightly.

In such a near-miss situation, in that situation, the hero, Raina, broke the shadow magic and stood in front of the demon king.

“I’ll deal with you.”

“Huh…?”

The Demon King was a little surprised to see such a Raina.

He didn’t think the hero couldn’t break his magic, but he did so much faster than he expected.

He certainly felt that it was not false to say that he was strong for a hero.

But that was all in the end.

Chang…!

Chang…!

“Sweet…”

An engagement with the hero again, the demon king pushed the hero again.

The hero could not face the demon king alone.

Because the Demon King was that strong.

Besides, in this situation, two of my colleagues were already dead.

One was in a state of fainting.

“Is this all there is in the end? Where did the prestige from earlier go?”

Besides, the demon king looked so relaxed.

As if he still had more hidden powers, he dealt with the hero as if playing with a child.

Perhaps the result would have been too obvious.

The downfall…

The warrior party was at the moment right before its downfall.

At this rate, the only thing left was to be defeated and annihilated by the demon king.

The hero Raina will die soon.

Because of that, Nera’s expression became serious at this moment.

“Ah… No… Reina can’t die.”

Now, at this moment, Nerah decided that she had to save as much as Raina.

Laina has a hero’s blessing.

The crystal of power passed down from the first hero, this crystal of power was the key to defeating the demon king.

And the hero’s decision lies with Raina… The problem was that if Raina died, the hero’s blessing would disappear.

Nera knows very well how important this warrior’s blessing is.

And the worst situation was that the hero’s blessing disappeared.

If that happens, the level of difficulty in defeating the demon lord will incomparably rise.

So at least I had to protect the warrior’s blessing.

“I can live with this…”

Nera pulled out a piece of paper from her bosom.

This item is a return scroll,

It was a tool to get out of this place entrusted to Nera, who was behind the party.

If you use this, you can get out of here with Raina.

But… If there’s a problem…

“Miner…”

The point was that I had to leave Miner lying down next to me.

He didn’t want to abandon his teammates too much.

I couldn’t bear to make that choice.

So, at the moment she was so worried…

“Nera, I know what you’re thinking… Do what you have to do.”

Miner pushed Nera’s back.

For this reason, Nera had no choice but to decide.

As expected, the important thing is…

The important thing was, of course, the hero’s blessing.

Nera left the barely breathing Miner beside her and ran to Rina.

“Lina…!”

“…!?”

The moment Laina and Nera held hands, the Demon King attacked.

Fortunately, I was able to ignore that level of attack and tear the return scroll.

Like that, Nera and Raina escaped from the castle, leaving only faint afterimages behind.

“Hmm… They ran away.”

Looking at the two who left, the Demon King did not have any regrets.

She headed straight for the one remaining.

The target was Miner, the party’s thief.

The Demon King arrived right in front of Miner’s nose and kicked Miner’s stomach as if waking him up.

“It’s so…”

Miner woke up with a groan in his stomach.

What she saw in front of her eyes was the demon lord.

Miner was so terrified at this moment.

“Huh…”

Looking around, I could see how dire the situation was.

In this situation, the corpses of Andros and Elina are rolling around.

There was no doubt that the warrior party had been defeated, and he had no doubt that he would be like that too.

Honestly, in moments like these, Miner was realizing what he had to do.

That was a plea for help.

She had to.

But.

“More… Come on… I’ll deal with you until the end.”

Miner faced the demon king with trembling legs.

She took a dagger and confronted the demon king.

Then, the demon king looked at Miner with great interest.

“Huh…? Are you saying you’re going to fight Jim to the end? If that’s what you mean, then just send her to her comrades?”

She slowly approached Miner, unleashing more and more of her bloody demons.

Much stronger magic than before.

Miner, a rogue, was too weak to handle her magical powers alone without her companions.

“Hee… Hee hee…”

Tears flowed endlessly from her eyes.

As if she didn’t have the confidence to face her fear, her head automatically turned.

Her wobbly legs looked as if she would kneel down and pray in front of the Demon King at any moment.

“If you promise to be my servant even now, maybe you can show her mercy?”

In such a situation, the demon king made a sweet proposal to Miner.

She was telling her to betray her comrades and come under her.

At those words, Miner gave her troubles.

She wanted to be her subordinate, just as the demon king had ordered her to do. If she does, she’ll be able to live.

But she refused.

“I… I am the thief of the warrior party, Miner. I… I will steal my colleagues’ money… But I will never betray my colleagues…!”

Although warm fluid flowed from between Miner’s legs.

She was staring straight at the demon lord.
