◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
A giant black golem collapsed in front of them.
Seeing this, the people present began to smile with determination.
“Alright! Now we can go inside.”
“Once we defeat the Demon King inside…”
Amelda, a blonde elf warrior, exclaimed confidently as she sheathed her sword imbued with holy power. Aileen, a priestess with silver hair, spoke with a soft but eager voice.
They knew that their long adventure, spanning several years…
their journey to defeat the Demon King, was finally nearing its end.
They had just defeated the black golem guarding the Demon King’s castle.
Though the golem had significant combat power, it collapsed without causing any real damage to the hero’s party.
It was expected.
The only ones who had come this far were the strongest warriors from across the continent, gathered to defeat the Demon King.
Aileen, a priestess who held the title of High Priest.
Amelda, an elven holy knight.
Shude, a witch dressed in a crimson robe, and
Terra, a female beast warrior with copper skin and fiery red hair.
And then… the most powerful warrior of them all,
the leader of the party, the hero who had just pierced the heart of the golem in an instant:
Elron Savior.
Elron dusted off the pieces of the fallen golem from his sword and looked at his companions.
“Good job, everyone. Let’s check our gear briefly and head inside.”
His face was tense, perhaps because the final battle with the Demon King was drawing near.
Seeing his stiff expression, Aileen, his childhood friend and one of the party members, spoke to him in a gentle voice.
“Don’t be so nervous, Elron. Just like always, we’re going to win in the end. We’ve got your back, so don’t worry.”
“Exactly, Hero! With your strength, we’ll definitely win against the Demon King. And after that… like we’ve always talked about, you and I can…”
Amelda chimed in, her voice full of trust and excitement.
As the two shared their sentiments, Shude and Terra frowned slightly and spoke up.
“Hey, are you flirting again? Sorry, but I have no intention of giving up the Hero to anyone.”
“Agreed. The Hero belongs to all of us. Once we defeat the Demon King, we’ll share him equally.”
The two expressed their displeasure with a mix of jealousy and affection.
Aileen, however, gave them a confident smirk and replied.
“Keep it in check, everyone. Even if the Hero promised to take care of all of us, I’m his official partner. Remember that.”
“Sigh…”
“Yes, yes…”
“Understood, Miss First Wife.”
Resigned, the other party members stepped back, acknowledging Aileen’s words.
Hearing their light-hearted banter, which resembled a petty love rivalry, the Hero’s previously tense expression softened slightly into a faint, awkward smile.
After a brief yet tension-relieving conversation, they completed their final checks.
They stood up, ready to face the ultimate battle.
And then…
A man,
waiting a short distance away from the group, observed them.
Torare, the party’s porter, who had brought them all the necessary supplies and tools throughout their journey, smiled innocently at the warriors and spoke.
“Alright then, as I mentioned, I’ll wait for you here. Please, defeat the Demon King and bring peace to the world.”
“Yeah, thanks for coming with us this far.”
“Wait here! After we defeat the Demon King, we’ll have a mountain of treasure to bring back”
“You’ve done well. We’ll return victorious”
“See you soon, Torare”
“…”
Though he had no combat abilities, the hero party bid farewell to their companion who had traveled with them this far and entered the Demon King’s castle.
While the hero Elron merely gave him a glance, the other female members smiled brightly as they bid farewell to the porter.
And so, humanity’s hope, the hero’s party, disappeared into the dark and ominous Demon King’s castle.
Watching them go, Torare slowly smiled and muttered softly with sincerity.
“Please, come back safely, ladies…”
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
The Demon King’s castle was engulfed in darkness.
As soon as the party entered, they found themselves in a vast space far larger than they had imagined.
It resembled a training ground for soldiers…or rather, an arena where warriors dueled.
Before them stood a group of heavily armored demons, clearly possessing immense combat power.
At the center of them all was a figure clad in black armor, exuding a powerful dark energy…
A being presumed to be the Demon King sat elegantly on a grand throne, stared directly at them.
“Is that… the Demon King?”
“It seems like he’s been waiting for us,”
The Demon King had clearly prepared his most powerful forces for this final confrontation.
Yet the warriors, undaunted, readied themselves to charge at their enemy.
In old stories, such encounters often began with a conversation between the hero and the Demon King, but for this party, there was no room for negotiation or dialogue.
Gripping their weapons tightly, the heroes fixed their gaze on the Demon King and his followers.
With the fate of the world at stake,
each member began to speak their mind.
“Once this fight is over, let’s get married.”
“We’ll finish this in one go, Hero. For our bright future.”
“Let’s go! For our future and for peace!”
“Let’s kill the Demon King.”
Their shouts echoed with hope and determination.
And as Elron listened to the rallying cries of his comrades, the hero who bore all of their expectations…
A single thought rose in his mind,
though he couldn’t speak it aloud at that moment.
‘Yeah, right… what a load of crap.’
Interesting…. What did the porter even have that the hero didn’t I wonder lol
Maybe long lasting stamina and d*ck
It is a NTR though
👀👀
So all the girls are liars and untrustworthy
