I Became a Retired Warrior Who Suffered NTR in the Novel

11 – Dantalion, the Four Heavenly Kings

On the other hand, Count Rochelli, who was on his way to rescue the isolated army and adventurers through the byway between the valleys, feared that the Demon King’s army would find out, and only the elite knights. Was leading

“Count, by the way, is that person a real hero?”

“Huh? Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”

“It’s nothing else… The way he’s wearing, and from the outside he looks like an ordinary adventurer… And he’s fighting thousands of monsters all by himself. I feel like I’m lying too much…”

“Huh…”

Count Rocelli smiled and burst into laughter at the knight commander, who had doubts about the hero he had seen during the day.

“Don’t worry, you are definitely a hero.”

“Ah.. Yes…”

“Where were you three years ago?”

“Yes? I was in the back then.”

“Then you won’t believe it…”

“Yes? What?”

As Count Rocelli walked silently through the thick bushes of a byway long untrodden,

Perhaps he couldn’t stand his curiosity, the captain of the knights approached the count and started talking to him as if begging.

“Count, please tell me. What happened at the front three years ago?”

“Do you remember the Third Great Invasion?”

“Yes! I remember.”

“How do you know?”

“All I know is that the human world was in danger due to the demon king’s all-out offensive, and it was only the hero’s performance that saved it.”

At the Knight Commander’s reply, Count Rochely seemed to recall his past memories, and he laughed endlessly before opening his mouth again.

“At that time, the Demon King’s army was 100,000 strong. 100 Thousand. Out of those 100,000, how many do you think the hero handled alone?”

“What… Maybe a few hundred?”

After hearing the captain’s words, Count Rochelli stretched out two of his fingers and showed them to him, smiling without saying anything.

“200?”

“……”

“2,000?”

“…..”

“Ah.. I can’t believe it.”

“Officially 20,000. And informally…”

Count Rochelli bloomed three more of his fingers that had been opened with two, then spread his hand so that he could see his entire palm and showed it to the captain.

“Fifty thousand. Fifty thousand.”

“Even the count is true.

“Ha ha ha ha. That’s why I said I wouldn’t believe you.”

“Tell me honestly. What kind of activity did the hero do at that time..”

“If you don’t believe me, look over there.”

The direction the count pointed with his hand was the beginning of the valley, and the place where the warriors were fighting to buy time for Count Rocelli and his party to rescue the army and adventurers who were isolated by the byway.

Boom!! Quagga Gaga!!

“What… What is it?”

A tremendous explosion echoed around the area, and countless explosions were occurring in the direction the Count pointed.

The leader, who had to calm down his subordinates who were panicking at the sound of the explosion, just stared blankly at the place where the explosion occurred.

*****

The holy sword, Ascalon, spews endless flames and set the entire Orc army at the forefront of the demons on fire.

They couldn’t bear to attack properly, and they were collapsing with screams that gave goosebumps even to hear on the spot.

“Whoa…”

The surroundings had already become a sea of fire, and the monsters couldn’t approach anymore, and I took a moment to breathe in the gap and looked toward the side road where the rescue operation was currently underway.

My job is to buy time while they bring out the isolated army and adventurers…

Perhaps it was after a long time using the holy sword Ascalon, which sucks up a lot of mana, I was slowly getting tired.

“Are you a warrior?”

Even when the surrounding area turned into a sea of fire, there was someone slowly walking through the flames…

The person who appeared in the uniform of the Demon King’s Army with black hair seemed to be an unusual person in terms of his voice, the atmosphere of his walk, and the magical power felt from him.

“Are you Dantalion, the Four Heavenly Kings?”

“To think that the warrior knows my name… Is this an honor?”

Appearing with an arrogant face, Dantalion raised one corner of his mouth toward the hero, laughed once, and then opened his mouth again.

“Where is your proud party member? Did you say that loudly earlier and then disappear like a ghost?”

“Party member? Are you talking about Illuen?”

“Oh! That’s right! What.. He called himself a noble high elf and rushed at it without hesitation, leaving the soldiers to die and running away alone.”

“…..”

I had already heard something from Count Rochelli, but hearing it directly from the Four Heavenly Kings, who were in charge of the enemy army, couldn’t be more devastating than this.

“It seems that even the warriors are out of date now. Taking that as a party member…”

“She is a woman who has nothing to do with me anymore. She’s no longer part of our party…”

“Well… I see what’s going on… By the way… As you may know, the human army is besieged in that valley right now. I think there are about thousands of them, but just one word of my order right now is everyone in the other world?”

Dantalion pointed towards the entrance of the valley and continued his words with a sarcastic attitude as if he were the victor.

“If I tell you to throw away your sword and surrender… You probably won’t, right? Then just kill them all.”

Perfect!!

Dantalion suddenly raised her fingers and snapped them with her thumb and middle finger, and the sound echoed and resounded far into the valley.

The demon king’s army heard that sound and was rushing towards the valley.

“What are you doing?”

“What are you doing… You’re trying to kill all of them since you won’t be able to get the warriors to surrender anyway.”

It seems that even Count Rocelli, who entered through the side road, has not arrived yet…

Kang!!!

I immediately raised my holy sword and charged Dantalion, and he immediately blocked my attack with his own sword, as if he had foreseen it in advance.

“Return the Demon Lords right now. Otherwise, you will die right here.”

“If you want to stop that, wouldn’t it be fine if you kill me and go?”

I don’t know how strong this Dantalion is, but compared to the Four Heavenly Kings of the past, now I can deal with all of the Demon King’s forces rushing into the valley after killing him.

But that’s only possible when I have enough time,

For now, it was questionable whether they would arrive in time no matter how quickly they killed Dantalion and ran into the valley.

“What are you doing? Warrior? Shouldn’t you kill me and go rescue the isolated humans? Hurry?”

“…..”

“No, what are you doing without killing me quickly? Ha ha ha ha ha.”

Dantalion must have known that I would run out of time, so he was provoking me more and more.

I had to rack my brains as much as I could, sword to sword, to find the best way.

Either Count Rocelli rescued him and got out of there sooner than expected, or

If not…

I didn’t have a party member I could trust in this situation where I desperately needed someone’s help.

“[Elaim]”

I heard a familiar voice in my ears, and then I felt a huge amount of mana pouring into it…

“Lu… Lucia?”

Standing on the hill, Lucia was gathering mana incomparably compared to when she summoned Undine, forming the shape of a giant water.

Soon the figure created a being with long hair and a dress like a queen in water.

“Elaim, please stop the Demon King’s army rushing into the valley.”

[Yes.]

The figure of water called Elaim even answered and flew through the sky toward the valley.

“Hero, leave that to me!”

“Thank you. Lucia.”

I don’t know how Lucia knows my identity…

Anyway, thanks to her support, I removed the sword of Dantalion, who was flustered by Lucia’s appearance, and rushed at it.

“Boom!”

Bang!!!!!!

There was some distance from Dantalion, but it was not destructive enough to kill, but it could inflict a fatal wound, so he shouted Ascalon’s command.

Shortly there was a large explosion and thick smoke enveloped the surroundings.

Kang!!!!

Contrary to what I thought she would have been fatally wounded, Dantalion was injured, but she was not as bad as I thought, so she rushed at me.

“Kuh… Did you think I would die like this?”

Dantalion, who doesn’t stop laughing even though her face is burnt and scarred, she said she would attack in her own way, but…

Kang!! Kang!! Kang!!

The skills weren’t enough to hurt me, and he was gradually reducing the number of attacks as if he knew that.

[Tsunami]

Swaaaghaaa)

On the other hand, I don’t know what happened to Lucia’s spirit Elaim, who flew into the valley, but

A huge tsunami caused a huge tidal wave on this land far from the sea, and the Demon King’s army, which had rushed into the valley, was swept away.

A normal spirit could not do it on such a scale.

“What… What… That is…”

Even Dantalion was dumbfounded by the situation, and he stood blankly watching his army swept out of the valley, forgetting about fighting me.

“Boom!”

Bang!!!!!!

I didn’t miss the chance and shouted the command again, and it flew away with a huge explosion to the point where I couldn’t see it.

And…

I ran to that point to end Dantalion’s last breath, but…

Even though Dantalion’s blood and pieces of clothing were there, he was nowhere to be seen.

Beside it was a faint magic circle, a trace of the magic that had just been used.

[Tsunami]

Shuaaa!!!

A huge tsunami once again rose toward the valley, leaving Dantalion behind and heading towards the valley.

“Hero!”

“Lucia?”

“I drove out all the Demon King’s army rushing into the valley. Now, for some reason, not going into the valley and scattering away… It seems like retreating.”

As Lucia said, there were a lot of dead Demon Lords swept away by the tidal wave near the valley, and even the living monsters and demons abandoned their weapons and ran away in search of their own way.

“Lucia…. What kind of identity are you…”
