The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

382 – Scene 382# Blooming in the Flames

*

“… What? What do you mean now that you’ve been hiding it? Isaac…”

Alonso’s eyes wavered. It was worth it. Looking at this situation now, it would have seemed like I was trying to betray him. But I never intended to betray him.

“Actually, I didn’t come to kill the Demon King. The devil… He came to see her.”

“She… ? “Does that mean you are acquainted with the devil?”

“Okay. Her name is… It’s Lina.”

I hesitated the whole time. Should I tell Alonso about the identity of the Demon King and my relationship with the Demon King or not?

This is Alonso, who lived and died with me for two years. He was just and always fought on the side of the weak. Not only did he not have the blood of a warrior, but he was the person closest to a warrior than anyone else. He was humanity’s strongest swordsman and an ancestor whom his descendant, Bella, could respect and be proud of. That’s why I decided to tell Alonso the truth.

The fact that Lina was a warrior to Alonso. And she explained the sorrow and tragedy she had experienced.

Every single word was difficult. It felt like someone was strangling my neck. It wasn’t because of the poison in the thorn vine.

‘Ordeal’ is getting in the way. This is to prevent me from doing something that goes against Isaac’s role

“Cough… !”

“Isaac!”

I couldn’t bear it any longer and vomited blood. My eyes were bloodshot. I felt like my heart was being torn apart… I could bear it. My patience, built up through ‘patience’, did not succumb to this much pain.

However, in Alonso’s eyes, it would have looked like he was dying from poison. In reality, I had suffered a fatal wound from being pierced through my body by a thorn vine.

“First of all, treatment… ! If I wake up Alyssa right now… !”

“… There is no need for that. I know my body well…”

I was aware that my body had already suffered irreparable damage. I am only enduring it with pure patience. I sensed my end and told him the truth.

Faced with the truth, Alonso muttered in disbelief.

“The devil… “He was a warrior?”

“Okay… She was a descendant of the Hero clan and was chosen to be a warrior… No, she just played a trick with fate… She was an ordinary girl.”

“…”

“Alonso… Whether you believe my story or not… That’s freedom. But… I came all the way here to meet that girl… To meet that girl… “I have been fighting.”

Sparks flew. It didn’t take long for Alonso to look at me.

“I am… I trust you. Isaac. “You are my best friend and teacher.”

Bella’s image flashed across Alonso’s face. Silver hair and blue eyes like a winter lake were staring straight at me. Now we see that Bella’s appearance resembled Alonso much more than her father, Fred.

“But why… Why are you telling me that now? If you had told me a little sooner… “Maybe I could have helped you.”

Alonso would have done the same. Since he was a just man like Bella, he would have listened to my situation and tried to save Lina. That’s why I couldn’t confide in him.

“You… Because I didn’t want you to help me.”

“What?”

“… Since the Demon King appeared, so many people have died. If you sympathize with such a demon lord… If you help… That is something that can only be criticized… And Alonso, you would have been willing to bear the stigma of helping the devil… So I couldn’t say. Because you trusted me…”

If that were the case, Alonso would not have been able to become the hero who defeated the Demon King as in history. That wasn’t what I wanted.

“You… You must be everyone’s hero. Alonso. Without a single bit of stigma…”

“What kind of hero is a hero? “Isn’t it a hero to help your friend when he or she is suffering like this?”

“…”

“Isaac. I’m a hero, I don’t need that title… So let me help you right now. And come back with me…”

Alonso’s words shook my heart for a moment. Maybe, together with him, we can overcome this difficulty. Maybe we can save Lina and get out of here safely and convince her people. Let’s forgive the devil. I’m sure it will be heavily criticized. From being a hero who defeated the devil, the stigma of being a traitor to humanity who sympathized with the devil may follow him for the rest of his life.

That wasn’t the ending I wanted.

“Sorry. “I can’t do that.”

“Why… ! Why can’t I do that!”

“With her… Because I promised.”

“Promise… ?”

“We promised to stay together.”

-If it’s good for you, I’ll be by your side.

I looked beyond the burning flames. Lina was crying with a hole in her chest.

I could tell. That would be the end of the second Demon King, who could not be saved by anyone. But…

Should I just leave it like that?

“Like Alyssa said, burning to death alone in the flames… Maybe the devil’s… This could be Lina’s last her her her… It could be that kind of fate.”

I cut the thorny vine stuck in my chest with my sword.

“However… Isn’t that too harsh… ?”

“Isaac…”

“I am… In the end, I couldn’t save her. So, for her and her, at least stay with her. Isn’t that kind of fate okay?”

“No…”

Alonso, realizing what I was thinking, shook his head.

“Do not do that…” . Don’t do that, come back with me. Isaac…”

“People… You’ll want to remember the story of the hero who saved the world. Such a depressing… “You don’t necessarily want to remember the back story.”

“Let’s go back together… !!”

“It’s you who has to go back, not me. Alonso.”

“?!”

I threw the unconscious Alyssa to Alonso. At the same time, I cut the floor with all my might. Then the thorn vine that Alonso was stepping on caved. The thorny vine that had started to catch fire was getting weaker. The floor collapsed in an instant due to my sword.

“Isaac!”

Alonso tried to somehow reach out to me, but it was not easy because he was holding Alyssa.

“It’s goodbye. Alonso.”

I looked at Alonso with a bitter smile. A man who would later be praised as a hero. He saw off the man who was remembered as the founder of the Isaac Hel family and the strongest swordsman of mankind.

Alonso cried out desperately from a crevice in the floor that was sinking like a swamp.

“I don’t know about anyone else, but… I… ! I will remember you… !”

He was crying. Just like when he fell off the cliff instead of Bella.

“That you fought with me…” He swung his sword side by side with me… I will remember!”

“Alonso… Me too…

“I will never forget you…”

With those last words, Alonso disappeared between the thorns.

“… I won’t forget you. Alonso.”

In the end, the words that lingered in my mouth did not reach him.

The flames soared. The dried out thorn vine quickly burned like firewood.

I wanted to take a step back due to the intense heat, but I kept moving forward.

Toward the flames where Lina is.

“Ugh?!”

Suddenly, the thorny vines around me raised their heads and rushed at me. These were vines that had already lost their roots and died. But attacking me with hostility…

“If you’re Isaac, you’re telling me to act like Isaac…” “?” ?”

Ordeal would no longer allow me to do anything outside of Isaac’s role. He has no intention of letting me approach Lina.

“Joy…”

I snorted and cut down the thorn vine with my sword. Isaac’s role has already been completed. Now all that’s left is ‘my role’.

“Honestly, at least I… You can stay with me.”

I moved forward, cutting down the dead thorns that were flying in to somehow stop me.

Although my body she was tattered from the previous battle, I was able to move forward somehow because I thought Lina was in front of her.

Perhaps they thought it was too much to stop me with thorny vines, but this time the flames rushed towards me. I got burned in an instant, but I didn’t stop walking.

“Don’t be funny…”

The heat was so hot that it took my breath away. It was so hot that my lungs felt like they were going to burn.

“All I can do is just be with you…” ” .”

I endured the heat and moved forward one step at a time. I muttered arrogantly towards this fate, this ordeal that was rushing at me.

“Are you sure you want to say this can’t be done? It’s like fucking fate.”

I swung my sword with all my remaining strength. I jumped over the pillar of fire cut down by the sword. Then, I saw a crouching figure.

It was Lina.

The moment I tried to reach out, burning thorns erupted from the floor. The number was too large to be cut with a sword.

“… !”

My right arm was torn off by a sharp thorn vine. My face was torn apart. The flesh on my thighs fell off. Bright red blood splattered here and there. But…

“Something like this makes me… Don’t try to stop me…”

I kept moving forward. Even though he became her window, he never stopped approaching her. How did I get this far? I didn’t want to stop just because trials or fate got in the way. No, I couldn’t stop.

In the end I… She succeeded in hugging the fallen Lina with her one remaining arm.

“Reena…”

“Well… Ugh…”

She was crying I was shedding black tears, just like I had right after awakening as a demon lord. Those were tears born of her despair. She was still suffering in her despair.

“Why… “Why did you leave me behind?”

Lina, engulfed in darkness, spoke in a trembling voice.

“Why did you abandon me? Why… “Did you just leave me to die this painfully?”

“… Lina.”

“I feel resentful… You… Humans too… Entire… !”

Lina started pouring out curse words in my arms.

“Entire… They should all have died… ! Burn everything?!”

I covered her mouth with my lips. As if I would accept all of her resentment and curses her with my lips.

When her short but deep kiss ended, Lina’s eyes widened.

“Ugh…!? Huh!?”

“… Are you coming to your senses now? ?”

“Ah, Isaac… Sir?! Why did Isaac… To me… Oh, no. More than that, why is Isaac… “Why are you here?”

“I came to keep my promise.”

“Yes… ?”

“Didn’t you say that? “I get lonely a lot.”

I stroked Lina’s head and smiled as kindly as I could.

“If a country like this is good… Can I soothe your loneliness?”

“Oh, no… Yo. This… Sir Isaac… Isaac will die if you stay with me…”

“Okay. I guess that’s all for me…”

“Ah…”

Only then did Lina cover her mouth and start crying when she saw what I looked like.

“Why… Why so much…”

“Well…”

I smiled bitterly without realizing it.

“If I said I did it because I missed you… “Can you believe it?”

“…”

The fire was getting stronger. Lina looked up at me and muttered.

“Love…”

“… ?”

“Isaac… Love me…Do? Cough…”

Lina started coughing up her blood. I wasn’t the only one who was devastated. She had a huge hole in her chest, and if it weren’t for the demon lord, she would have died a long time ago. But now her body has reached its limit.

Lina smiled pitifully at me from within the flames.

“I am… Isaac… I think I love you… Lol…”

It was a helpless smile that left the viewer in awe.

I found Lina putting on her coat. He probably kept the coat I gave him to him until the very last moment.

I slowly opened my mouth. What I’ve always wanted to say to her. What I wanted to say beyond her fate.

“I am… I love you… “Wendy.”

“… !”

At that moment, Lina’s eyes shook.

“… Hundred… Little… ?”

In my arms was Wendy, who remembered everything.

“Count… Right? Ugh… The Count continued… You’ve been protecting me since long ago… ?”

Wendy sobbed and fell into my arms.

“Being hurt like that… I… You came to save me… ?”

Flames erupted around us. I hugged Wendy with all my strength as the fierce flames melted her flesh.

“You don’t have to suffer anymore. You don’t have to be sad. It’s okay to not cry because you’re lonely anymore.”

Whispering softly to Wendy as if to reassure her.

“Because I’m by your side…”
