The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

380 – Scene 380# the End of the Journey

*

“Mom…Are you crying?”

“Umm… Sorry. I guess I can’t help but cry on days like this.”

The woman wiped away her tears and stroked her young daughter’s head.

I never thought a day like today would come. Looking back, those were really difficult days.

It’s already been three years since the second Demon King appeared. Monsters and demons began to boil everywhere, and the world fell into an unprecedented crisis.

Countless people were robbed of their families and homes. In such chaos, people waited for the hero. The only hope to end this dark era. I eagerly waited and waited for the hero.

But the hero never showed up. People who were desperately waiting for the hero died in despair. However, there were people who put an end to such dark times.

“Hey. Those people… “Hero, these are the heroes who will defeat the devil on your behalf.”

“Hero?”

“Yes.”

People on horseback were leisurely passing through the crowd. The heroes who won the fierce battle against the Demon King’s army proudly triumphed. The person standing at the head of those heroes was a handsome young man with silver hair and clear features.

Alonso Isaachel.

He made a name for himself as the greatest swordsman of his time and led his colleagues to fight against the Demon King’s army. People who had lost hope and despair began to join in one by one after seeing Alonso’s performance his. The spark of human counterattack, which had been one-sided by monsters until now, was sparked.

The Maykahel Empire, where the Demon King first appeared, was in danger of its survival as more than half of its territory was lost to monsters. However, with the advent of Alonso, the empire overcame the crisis.

As a result, Alonso was praised as a hero who would save the world on behalf of the warrior. This time, he won the battle against the devil’s army and was riding majestically through the crowds of people.

“Alonso! Please defeat the devil!”

“God bless you!”

People cheered as they saw him, the hope and light that ended a dark time. Sincerely blessing the participation of the heroes who follow him.

From now on, they plan to head to the castle where the Demon King is staying. The time has come to end the war against the Demon King’s army that lasted for three years.

However, in the meantime, there were people who noticed the existence of ‘that man’.

“Excuse me… But the scary person behind Alonso… ?”

Following right behind Alonso was a man with jet black hair.

“Oh my god, your face…”

“He was probably attacked by monsters.”

The man stood out in a different way. His face was covered with terrible scars. That alone made me realize how turbulent his life had been. If it weren’t for his scars, he would have been as handsome as the young Alonso.

However, the man’s eyes were extremely cold. She had an expression of inexplicable loneliness and sadness. It made me wonder what on earth someone could go through to make an expression like that. People couldn’t even guess.

“Ah… That person is probably a comrade who fought alongside Alonso. From what I heard, he is the next most talented person after Alonso.”

“No way! If I had done that, my name would have become known.”

“It could be because he is a quiet person by nature. Look at that face. “Is this a face worth talking about about your accomplishments?”

“Umm… That’s right. Besides, if you can walk that close to Alonso, you must be skilled… But you look quite striking. What happened to you to be like that?”

“I’ve only heard rumors, but it looks like he’s from Maritella.”

“Maritella? Seriously?! Are you saying that he is a survivor of Tis Village?”

The village of Tis in Mariela. It is the village where the Demon King first appeared and the place where the castle that serves as the Demon King’s residence is located. The place where there was once a small village and a vast forest has disappeared without a trace of its past. Most likely, the man’s memories disappeared without a trace along with the village. Only after hearing the man’s origins did people understand.

“But what is his name his?”

“Uhm. The name is probably…”

The older man stroked his beard and muttered the name.

“Was it Isaac?”

Three years ago, Lina, a warrior, awakened into the devil.

The moment Lina awakened, the despair and sadness she felt was conveyed to me in her interrogation room. She lost her father and friend in an instant, and the despair that consumed her friend corrupted her heart.

I couldn’t stop it. She was unable to prevent her awakening as the Demon Lord from destroying all living things, including Cornwell and Ser Han. I said no. She screamed that she couldn’t do that, but it didn’t get through to her. She went too far for my voice to reach.

It’s not that the hero didn’t appear. The hero had become the devil. That was the hidden setting.

When I escaped from the interrogation room on my own, Lina was nowhere to be found.

The only thing she left behind was her death. Everything before her eyes she was dead. She said I was the only one who survived. She did not know why she survived alone in that cruel scene. No, it wasn’t that important.

I wanted to see Lina again. Even if there’s nothing she can do when we meet… Still, she wanted to meet her. I missed her like crazy. That was all I could think of.

From then on, I followed Lina. Her journey was never smooth. She faced an army of monsters. She almost died from the demons’ illusions and evil plans. But I fought. I gritted my teeth and fought fiercely. I fought against monsters several times a day, crossing the border between life and death. Just to meet Lina.

How long did it take to fight with just one sword? A man appeared in front of me.

-Won’t you defeat the Demon King with me?

I recognized who he was right away.

“Are you thinking about something serious?”

“… Alonso.”

Alonso, a man with impressive silver hair, was looking at me with concern. He is the hero Alonso Isaachel, the founder of the Isaachel family that Bella is most proud of. I never thought he would fight shoulder to shoulder with him.

“If you have any concerns, you can tell them to me. Isaac. Because you are a man I can have my back on.”

“…”

Alonso was indeed someone whom Bella could be proud of as a great ancestor. He was second to none when it came to handling a sword, and his personality was also great. He had excellent leadership skills and always shined when he was around people. He was truly Bella’s ancestor. No, he said it was almost identical to Bella.

It’s been over two years since I fought with Alonso. He is a comrade in arms in life and death and a close friend of mine. That’s why I wanted to ask him.

If the Demon King was a girl who knew nothing, and something terrible happened to her to become the Demon King… About whether it was right to kill her

“… Alonso. Are you really planning to kill the Demon King?”

“Huh?”

“If the Demon King…”

“Isaac. Are you feeling sorry for the Demon King now?”

The person who came between us was a young nun. She smiles kindly like a saint, but that is only a mask. The words that came out of her mouth she were full of hostility.

“You’re thinking blasphemous thoughts again. The Demon King is something that must be slain. There is no room for worry.”

“… Alyssa. “You speak as if you have met the devil.”

“Do you have to meet the devil to know he is the devil?”

“How do you know it’s a devil when you haven’t even met it?”

“Our God, Michaela, tells us that.”

Alyssa, a member of our party, put her hands together and pretended to pray devoutly. She was a priest of a cult that worshiped the absolute god Michaela.

“That damned goddess will tell you well.”

“Isaac. Those words cannot be ignored. I will give you another chance, even now. Say you are Michaela, full of grace.”

In this way, although Alyssa had a fanatic side, her abilities as a cleric were genuine and she was able to remain in the party. She, and as you can see, was on extremely bad terms with me.

“You sound funny. She expects a favor from a fucking goddess.”

“She speaks too much.” It was Michaela who gave Alonso the magic of light. “It is entirely thanks to Michaela that we were able to come this far.”

Alonso clearly received the magic of light from Michaela. It was as if she had received her mission to take down her demon lord on behalf of the hero. But, knowing the truth that she was a warrior, I did not like her actions.

Originally, the reason Alonso was given her magic of light was because the hero did not appear. However, in reality, there was a hero, but he became a demon lord. In other words, from Michaela’s point of view, it was her mistake since the hero she chose, who was an absolute god, became the devil.

Of course, we can’t blame everything on Michaela. Just because she is she doesn’t mean she can know how her world she will turn out. Besides, it’s probably the system’s fault that they knew this backstory but couldn’t tell me.

She is an AI program. Since it is a program, it has already been confirmed through the gate that it is under the control of the system.

Nevertheless, she couldn’t help but be displeased with Michaela, who hid the fact that there was a hero and pointed to Alonso. Because it seemed like she was treating the hero she chose as evil.

“Don’t bring up that damn goddess in front of me. “Alyssa.”

“Isaac. There is no room for rehabilitation for you. If it weren’t for Alonso, I would have referred you to the heresy inquisition a long time ago.”

“Inquisition for heresy?”

I snorted.

“If you can, try it.”

“… Isaac. I make a prediction. “If you do not have faith or belief, you will suffer forever in the fiery pits of hell.”

“Thank goodness. “It seems better than freezing to death.”

“… Fate is determined by God.”

Alyssa sighed and spoke to me pitifully.

“And the devil’s fate is only death. No matter how hard you struggle, you can never escape the fate that God has decided.”

“Come on, you two, stop fighting. “We’re almost there now.”

Alonso said, pointing to the other side of her. An ominous-looking castle stood tall there.

“Demon King Castle…”

The place that was once called the castle of Viscount Thryx has now become the residence of the Demon King. I don’t know why, but Lina turned around and made this place her final residence.

Now our long journey was coming to an end.

I stared at the Demon King Castle and opened my mouth.

“Alyssa.”

“Speak.”

“When this journey is over, will you be able to convey my words to the goddess you serve?”

“Yes. Michaela is generous even to those who do not have faith like you, so I will gladly tell you this.”

“Is it. Then tell this to her generous and fate-loving goddess.”

I whispered into Alyssa’s ear

“Fuck you.”
