I remembered the face of the young dead adventurer. I didn’t really promise that I’d protect him but the fact that he had to die at such a young age pierced my heart a little. On the battlefield, killed by the likes of goblins. Even though he wasn’t really different from Souichi and the others……his life had only just begun.
But this is what a battlefield is like, it can’t be helped. I don’t want to think like that, to use the battlefield as an excuse, I could only sigh.
“Now then.”
[All that remains is the mastermind behind this.]
Can we even call him a mastermind? I really can’t think of it that way. While hearing Ermenhilde’s words, I walked towards the Demon trapped in the cage of gravity.
If that Demon thought that he could defeat Souichi and others with just an Ogre, even if it had become the Demon God’s descendant, then he’s just an idiot.
Even without me, those 2 would have defeated them sooner or later. I trust them that much.
That’s what a GodSlayer is, a Hero. Receiving absolute trust and meet their expectations is a Brave.
“Renji-niichan!!”
“Ou.”
Souichi was keeping an eye on the Demon on the ground but he still raised his one hand to wave at me. To answer him, I also raised one of my hands and went to him.
With *pan* he high fived me. I opened and closed my palm repeatedly to lessen the pain.
……..hitting with full strength. That really hurt damnit…..
“It seems you were in good health.”
“That’s my line. Also, everyone was really worried you know?”
“ugh…….”
I averted my eyes as he looked up at me.
No, well, I guess it was my bad that I suddenly disappeared but.
[Tell him more, Souichi.]
“Eru-san as well. Long time no see.”
[Ah, you guys are so courteous and polite.]
“……..That feels like saying that someone doesn’t stay polite you know?”(renji)
[That’s exactly what I’m saying.]
“Even like this, I do put an effort to stay courteous and polite at all time though.”
Saying that, I looked towards the ground.
The wings were in totally bad shape and both his feet and left leg were bent in an impossible direction. It hurt just looking at him.
“Oi.”(renji)
When I raised my voice, he looked at me with a hate filled gaze.
The 13 GodSlayers.
Even among them, I who had directly killed the Demon God was hated the most by the Demons. I’m completely detested by them. Well, that can’t be helped though.
I am the guy who killed the God they worshipped after all. It’s only obvious that I’ll be hated.
I lay the jade green sword at his neck. Now that the black Ogre was dead, only 4 of the covenants were cleared—-no, only 3. There’s no need to protect someone in this situation now after all.
The fact that the blade had lost its previous shine of magical energy was a proof of that.
“Yamada Renji—-!!”(demon)
“Yeah, I’m Yamada Renji. So, why the hell can a demon like you control a descendant of the Demon God?”
Ignoring is hate filled gaze, I questioned.
I may have done something bad. Killing a God, even if to save the world, may not have been something that should be forgiven. Especially for those Demons who worshipped him.
But, that doesn’t mean I’ll accept their hate.
I’m not such a great human who can do something like that after all, I’m not tolerant enough for that.
What will you do after saving the world?
Travelling around the world, becoming a bridge between humans and demi-humans might not be bad. I might try to fix relations with the enemy demons as well.
In fact, there are Demons who don’t think badly of humans. They are a complete minority though.
“Is Sherfa involved in this?”(renji
The name I spoke was of the Demon Lord. Demon Lord Sherfa. The most influential person on the Abenelm continent next to the Demon God.
A monster that could fight at par with even Souichi who had awakened as a Hero.
