The Hero Disciple Is Back - Chapter 120



119. Standing before the End

“Eat this!”

The elf warrior gathered all the pure magic he had accumulated throughout his life and fired it. It was a choice that would greatly harm his own body, but… . But it didn’t matter. He still remembered his beautiful hometown that was burning down due to the Demon King, and the elves’ mother who had been left alone to protect them. Health? Even if it meant giving up his life, he felt that he couldn’t close his eyes in death without striking that monster once, so he truly had no regrets.

Kwaaang!!!!

From noble mtl dot com

Phew!!!!

Kuuung!!!!!

Each of their presidents

Each person’s duty

Each one’s grudge

The reasons are all different.

However, they are all fighting with burning will, with only one goal in mind: to defeat the monster before their eyes.

It wasn’t just them.

“All forces charge!!!!!!!!!”

The crown prince and the generals leading each corps all rode out on horseback and led all the remaining troops to form a wall. The reason was simple.

-Those insignificant things!!!

-To the great sky!!!!

-Break them all down!!!!

It was because the Demon King’s army, which had been flustered by the sudden Demon King’s mass attack, began to move late. The leaders, including the crown prince, also knew this. There would be no next time anyway. If they don’t finish it this time… . There is only destruction. Therefore, if they must gamble, the only time is now.

The standard that separates competence from incompetence is the insight to read timing accurately. In that sense, the crown prince and the leaders acknowledged by the warrior were not completely incompetent people.

♧♧♧

Something is changing… The flow that was centered around the Demon King’s army, which had been unilaterally advantageous, is changing subtly, but at the same time, like paper getting wet with water, it seems slow, but it is certain.

Change is happening.

‘What the heck? What on earth is going on?’

The Demon King couldn’t understand.

Since he reached the realm of the gods, there was nothing that he could not do as he wished. Everything went as he said. Whether it was destroying the world, burning the world tree, defeating the warrior, or even the infinite number of times… everything went as he wished. There had never been a current that ignored him, a current that went against him. There was no way that it could exist.

ah….

【I’m happy… . I’m very happy… .】

At first, he felt instinctively repulsed by the fact that the toy that had been moving as he pleased was ignoring his will… But soon, he was able to feel joy.

Because this is what he wanted!

If he had just wanted things to go his way, he wouldn’t have done something like infinite reset. If he really just wanted a world filled with toys that he could manipulate however he wanted, he would have tried to end this world and move on to the next one a long time ago. But he didn’t. He didn’t bother to do that and reset the world. Over and over again… . Dozens of times… . Hundreds of times… . Thousands of times… tens of thousands of times… . Hundreds of thousands… tens of thousands of times… . Hundreds of thousands… tens of millions… He reset it infinitely.

If I had just wanted a world like a toy, a world where my handprint would be left the moment I held it, I would not have spent so much time on it.

That’s why he realized.

What you need to feel now is not the kind of petty, immature emotion you feel, like a rejection of your toy not being able to do what you want it to do.

The emotion you should feel right now is ecstasy. It’s the moment when you should feel the thrill of finally finding something you’ve been waiting for…! It’s the moment when you should feel that kind of electricity running through your whole body!

【Finally! Finally! Finally! Is it finally starting! Can I finally see it! A new possibility that has never been seen before! A new phase! A new scenario! A new curtain! Ahhh! Show me! On this final stage, on this final chance, show me for sure! Humanity!!!!!!!!!!!!】

KWaaaHH …

The moment the Demon King unleashed his power, he blew away all the bombs that were coming at him. Even the chain bombing created by the greatest force of the human army was really nothing more than a hindrance to the Demon King.

“That freaking b*stard…!”

“I knew it, but seeing you in such good shape left me speechless.”

“If you have the presence of mind to speak softly, then concentrate. It’s coming!!!”

As soon as the swordsman’s screams ended

【Get out you b*stards!!!!!!!!!!!!!】

KWaaahhh!!!!!!!!!!!

A massive storm of magical energy engulfed the Transcendent Beings.

“Kwaaak!!”

“Eww!!!”

“Eww!!”

Unable to withstand the massive storm, the Transcendents were blown away.

【Were you there!】

The Demon King’s eyes were somewhat distant, but he noticed the warrior with the white dragon. It was natural that the warrior would be at the center of the flow that rejected him. So, to properly check the flow, he just had to attack the warrior. Thinking of such a simple yet most certain method, the Demon King raised his sword without hesitation and tried to attack the warrior.

Chae Ae Ae!!!!

…if there had been no interruption in the middle.

【Have you endured my storm? You’re doing quite well, human.】

The Demon King opened his mouth and acknowledged this point, looking at the humans who had endured a storm that even the Transcendent Ones could not endure.

“I don’t know about anything else, but I am confident in my perseverance and patience.”

The man who endured the storm of magic that even the transcendent could not withstand and stood before the Demon King with his sword was none other than the ‘Steel Knight’ Galahad Patton.

【But that’s reckless. Do you think you’ll be the only one blocking my path?】

“It doesn’t matter whether you can or can’t. You have to do it, so you do it. That’s all there is to it. … That’s what my friend would have said.”

Galahad thought that Jade, the warrior’s teacher, would have said that… . He raised his sword and took a stance. How much time could he buy by doing this… . To be honest, he had no confidence at all. He had seen how ruthless the Demon King was, so it was too much to boast about and be confident now. But it was something he had to do. So he did it.

【Then, let’s see how great that persistence and patience is?】

Chae-ae-aeng! Chae-aeeng! Chae-ae-aeng!

“Ugh!”

He’s been swinging a sword his whole life. But even so, he can’t read the path of the sword that the Demon King swings. He can’t predict it. But he’s a knight. Defensive swords that focus on defense are the area he’s most confident in. He minimized damage as much as possible by focusing on defense. But in the end, it was just a waste of time.

It was just something that would end simply the moment the Demon King showed his true colors, and it actually did.

【You were pretty good for a human! Just a human! But that’s not enough!】

Kwaaang!!!

“Kwaaak!!”

The moment the Demon King started to use his full power, Galahad was unable to endure it and ended up rolling on the floor.

‘A whim…? A pastime…?’

The Demon King thought that he had done something that was not like himself. What was important now was the hero, not dealing with such a person. Thinking that, he was about to turn to the hero again.

Beatle! Beatle!

“Haa. Haa. Haa.”

【… You’re persistent.】

“I told you. Haa. Perseverance and patience… I’m confident…”

The moment he saw Galahad’s gaze, the Demon King understood. Why he had to be caught by this human. It was a familiar gaze. It was something he could never see in this world… . The gaze of his knight King, who had surely met his end with a smile, was there.

【… I admit it. Human knight. Your tenacity and patience… . are worthy of recognition as a knight.】

“… … .”

If he had been his close friend, he would have said something like, “Thank you very much,” but he didn’t do it. He wasn’t really that type of person.

【Human Knight, what is your name?】

“Galahad Patton… .”

【Galahad Patton… I will remember him as the most knightly man I have ever met.】

With those last words, a huge amount of magical energy poured out from the Demon King’s body. The killing intent to kill the opponent in front of him was so strong that goosebumps appeared on his arms and cold sweat formed on the back of his neck, making him freeze.

Galahad’s knees trembled at the firm murderous intent to turn his current reality into a mere memory. However, he did not fall. He was already at his limit… He no longer had the strength to swing his sword… But he still did not fall.

He is the knight of steel

Even if it eventually breaks, it is not permitted to bend before then.

‘I have a duty.’

For that, I would hold on to my ankles and hang on to you.

You must never fall down.

Fulfilling one’s duty

Until that moment comes

Absolutely not!

【Sleep now, human knight Galahad Patton.】

At that moment, when the Demon King’s sword was about to reach its final moment

Chaeaaa …

The Demon King’s sword was blocked.

At that moment, the Demon King realized.

That he was making a huge mistake.

The center that was changing the flow of this world, creating a flow that resisted him, he naturally thought it was the warrior or the white dragon. But he was wrong. It was his own misunderstanding and delusion. The moment he saw the being before his eyes, the being that was blocking his sword right now, the Demon King was able to clearly realize it.

That is why the Demon King opened his mouth to immediately resolve that curiosity.

【Who are you…?】

“This guy’s friend… and the guardian of those kids.”

【I see… You… .】

“Yes, he is the warrior’s teacher.”

Jade, the warrior’s master

He stood in front of the Demon King and the end of the world.
