The Hero Party Couldn’t Kill Me

Chapter 14: The Final Battle (4)

‘… It’s more miserable than I thought.’

From the moment he figured out the power of the demons, Leviathan also noticed that this would be nothing more than a desperate attempt.

All the four kings of the previous demon king died, and there are not many elder level demons other than that.

Almost all of the rare but powerful races, such as dragons and balrogs, which were few in number but withered away, were difficult to appoint except for some.

Even the overwhelming quantity, which is an advantage of demons, has fallen to 1/10 of what it was in its heyday.

Nevertheless, she gathered the forces of the demons to the end.

Since she has already come this far, she has no place to retreat.

If only I could deal devastating damage to Solaum in a short time. If only I could subdue the nobles gathered in Solaum.

And if only I could kill Edmund.

She may be able to create her utopia she longed for. Although she doesn’t mind that it’s terrorism, it didn’t matter anyway, as long as she could rule her empire.

The rest was not difficult. Leviathan is a wizard who invented portals. She therefore knew the portal better than anyone else, and was able to manipulate the portal remotely.

If there are not enough portals, she can make full use of the overflowing mana and fire a teleportation magic circle to move her demons.

With the intention of only attacking Solaum, she gathered her demons and then reappeared in Solaum.

The first target is to destroy the Great War. In a situation where the morale of the empire was greatly reduced, she concentrated on attacking Edmund.

… This was Leviathan’s plan.

“Fear not! The Goddess has not abandoned us yet!”

Contrary to her expectations, however, the saintess quickly rectified the confusion by notifying the whole area of Solaum with amplification magic.

I thought it was a lie. However, Leviathan was taken aback when he saw the imperial army resolute at those words.

“You still don’t know? The goddess has abandoned you! There is no salvation for you anymore!”

Leviathan shouted even while raising blood, but the Imperial Army. At least the Paladins around the Great Crusade were not obliged.

And….

Weee!!!

From behind her, Edmund charged with a holy sword. It was an urgent moment, but in the midst of it, a smile leaked out when I saw that Edmund, who had turned into a crow, had no hair on his head.

The resulting gap caused the holy sword to slash her left cheek.

Enduring her burning pain, Leviathan calmly coped.

The holy sword was blocked by manipulating three replicas of her magic sword at the same time, and tried to cut Edmund with the real magic sword.

The smaller the body, the harder it was to cut, but each blow became more lethal.

Leviathan’s brow furrowed more and more.

Thanks to the saintess’ continued encouragement of the imperial army, the morale of the imperial army rose again, and as a result, the demons that appeared from her portal were being quickly cleaned up.

I had to make a decision before that, but time was running out.

‘… It’s good that we went to the air battle, but we still can’t decide.’

Edmund was as hard as Edmund.

She hadn’t felt the merit of flying in the air yet.

Especially Edmund, who was new to aerial combat, had a hard time adapting.

Is it the power of the holy sword? I can fly in the direction I want much more than before, but that’s all.

The original intention of getting close to Leviathan’s nose failed due to continued interference from the demonic sword.

“Insert Device Geek!!!”

To make matters worse, the winged gargoyles that survived the battle on the ground rushed towards Edmund.

The number is about 50. However, the holy sword was now surrounded by fake magic swords, and its movement was restricted.

Quarrr!!!

I even tried using lightning magic to block their approach, but before I knew it, a group of gargoyles surrounded Edmund.

I tried to escape as best I could, but those gargoyles, who had spent their entire lives flying, pursued him without difficulty, and soon one of them grabbed both of Edmund’s wings with their hind legs.

Leviathan finished preparations to fire the demonic sword with a triumphant expression.

Edmund looked at the holy sword. In the end, replicas of the magic sword stuck to the side of the holy sword like gum, restricting its movement.

A moment of crisis. At that time, he recalled the gimmick of the holy sword that Calia had used.

The holy sword drill. Surely he can use it too.

Edmund looked at the holy sword and concentrated.

And.

Wheeeing…….

With an eerie sound, the holy sword rotated and blew away all the fake demonic swords attached to it.

And as fast as a rocket, he rushed toward the demonic sword at full speed.

“Keee!!!”

The gargoyles, startled by that momentum, instinctively left me and ran away, and thanks to that, I was able to narrowly avoid the demonic sword.

Card de de de de de de de deuk!!!!

The holy sword then collided with the demonic sword, and the demonic sword bounced down to the ground with the sound of the two swords meshing together.

“Good!”

With this momentum, Edmund fired the holy sword drill at Leviathan. After reorganizing her before she knew it, she gathered replicas of her demonic swords around her and quickly rotated them.

The intention was to respond to a drill with a drill.

Catch up!

An eerie sound of grinding metal was heard. The demonic sword replicas risked their blades to get close to the holy sword drill, and eventually succeeded in forcibly controlling the rotation of the holy sword.

The magic sword that had fallen to the ground rose up again, and the group of gargoyles that had fled came back again.

“Did you think you would have an advantage in the air?”

Leviathan laughed at Edmund, who was making a puzzled expression. Edmund glared at her and changed her strategy.

Quarreureung!!!

First of all, I cast lightning magic to remove the magic sword replicas attached to the holy sword. Without missing the time that was disturbed by the shock of the moment, the holy sword rotated again and returned to Edmund.

Edmund then transformed into a human and fell towards the holy sword. The holy sword slowly came into Edmund’s hand, and he soared high into the sky holding the holy sword.

At first, the speed of the holy sword was so fast that he almost missed the holy sword, but Edmund quickly got used to it.

‘It’s much better than before.’

Since you don’t have to maintain transformation magic, there’s one less thing to worry about, and since you hold and control the Holy Sword directly rather than remotely, the control has become even more sophisticated.

“… Destroy them.”

After quickly adapting, Edmund swooped down towards the pesky group of gargoyles. As the Holy Sword rotated, I felt a strong vibration all over my body, but I held on tightly to not let go of the Holy Sword.

As the gargoyles ran away faster than the holy sword’s flight speed, I turned towards Leviathan.

Then, under the control of her demon sword that her Leviathan held in her hand, they had no choice but to go in front of her and claim her meat shield.

Wooddudeuk!!!

A terrifying noise and blue blood splattered all over my body, but Edmund didn’t care and went towards the Leviathan.

Leviathan lowered his altitude to avoid me, and threw replicas of his magic swords. However, unlike before, Edmund was able to directly hold and control the holy sword.

Teeing!! Teeeing!!!

Each time the demonic sword approached, Edmund grabbed the holy sword and swung it. Unlike before, the fake magic swords were not caught by the holy swords and bounced off.

While bouncing off the magic sword replicas one by one, Leviathan continued to draw a summoning magic circle on the floor of the empire and in the air.

“Kuaaa!!!”

As demons poured out from the magic circle, they pressed Solaum’s imperial army from the ground and Edmund from the sky again.

At the same time, Leviathan himself continued to distance himself from Edmund.

‘… If that happens again, I’ll run away with teleportation.’

Edmund noticed this and continued to try to close the distance with Leviathan.

However, gargoyles and vampire bats appearing everywhere restricted his movement.

I used the holy sword drill to drive them away quickly, but then the demonic sword sortied again.

While Edmund wrestled with the demons and demon swords alone, Leviathan got further and further away.

He watched the battle on the ground, biting his lip.

“Kwoaaa!!!”

The Imperial Army was fighting the demons that appeared again.

Mina was fighting the trolls with Rafaela and the imperial guards, the imperial army was fighting a horde of orcs, and the paladins were fighting the goblins who were trying to plunder the collapsed great temple.

The rest of the nobles and their soldiers evacuated the citizens and stopped the demons who broke away from the battle line.

It is difficult to get help from others. In the meantime, Leviathan continued to summon more demons with the summoning magic circle.

‘… It can’t go on like this.’

Edmund thought as he slashed the gargoyles that fearlessly charged. Also, if you block Leviathan’s attack and turn the tide of battle, Leviathan will run away.

We need one more strategy to turn this situation around. He swung his holy sword and fell into thought.

Leviathan’s attacks have already weakened. Also, she’s thinking of retreating and rearranging her.

Is there any way to get to her faster than now?

‘I need momentum.’

Edmund thought. A way to get the momentum to max out your speed. Thinking about how rockets and bullets fire, he recalled the magic he knew as much as possible.

And then I looked at the holy sword.

It’s a crazy way, but I think it could be done.

At that time, I saw the demonic sword and its replicas return to Leviathan after fighting him. Realizing that the Leviathan was about to retreat, Edmund drew the holy sword behind him and concentrated the mana there.

Slowly spinning the holy sword, applying heat and electricity around it, gathering more and more energy. The gargoyles were startled by that momentum and ran away.

Thanks to this, Edmund continued to gather strength and steer toward the Leviathan without any hindrance.

This time, I will never miss it.

‘Edmund, that guy gets stronger every time we meet again.’

Meanwhile, Leviathan muttered as he watched Edmund fight in the air.

The distance has been widened somewhat. Edmund is still bound by a group of gargoyles and demon swords. He couldn’t land a fatal blow on him, but at least he was constantly blocking his approach.

However, there were no more demons prepared. Because the summoning magic was used too much, the overflowing mana was showing signs of running out.

I need to reorganize again.

Leviathan retrieved the magic sword. And finally he drew a giant summoning gin in the air.

“Kooooo!”

With a roar that shook the heavens and earth, the dragon appeared.

An ancient race that made the greatest contribution to destroying the Latis Empire along with the demon king Titan.

He’s so powerful that even a few demon lords can’t control it. That’s why I was able to summon only one Leviathan.

Having made the dragon destroy her solarium, Leviathan tried to use her teleportation while protecting her surroundings with her magic swords.

But at that moment.

Puuu!!!!

With a tremendous roar, Leviathan turned her head away.

Utilizing the recoil from firing powerful energy bullets, Edmund was approaching at high speed. Even she was at the speed she had seen for the first time, so she couldn’t deal with it with the magic sword.

Leviathan got scared and finished her casting quickly.

Paaa!!!

Just before colliding with him, she safely returned to her mage tower.

But at that moment.

“Haa… ha….”

The sound of rapid breathing came from beside her. When she turned her head, Edmund was sitting down with a red-hot holy sword.

“Uh, how….”

“… You finally got it, you motherf*cking b*tch!”

Edmund smiled triumphantly, grabbed the leviathan by the scruff of the neck, and knocked him straight to the ground.
