Are you worthy of saving the world?

It was killed in a sword fight with the brave Yuri, and both the man and the horse were cut in half by the "Sword of Evil-Breaking".

I like your equipment very much. Take it.

——The fifth of the Seven Demon Generals, the Gorgon, the snake-haired monster.

The petrifying light she emitted was refracted by the hero Yuri's demon prosthetic hand, and he turned himself into a statue.

To prevent future trouble, Yuli smashed the stone statue to pieces.

——The sixth of the Seven Demon Generals, the vampire Duke Tsepesh.

The iron stake that the vampire shot madly was picked up by Yuli, who threw it back and pierced the heart.

No one would have thought that the biggest weakness was actually the stake he had thrown.

Yuri climbed the stairs and finally reached the highest point of the Demon King's Castle.

……

……

……

The last of the seven demon generals directly under the Demon King is the dark elf Grey.

In front of the main entrance of the throne room, a brown-skinned beauty wearing armor and with silver hair shawl announced her name.

"An elf? Even though he's a member of the demon clan, he probably has his own reasons...

If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I can spare your life."

Yuri said with a melancholy expression.

Considering that she is of the same race as Celestia and has a pair of long pointed ears, the brave Yuri decided not to kill her this time.

"What...are you insulting me?!"

The dark elf female knight looked angry and clenched her fists.

"I admire the Demon King and hope to become his strength, so I joined the Demon King's Army... Don't confuse me with those guys who crave killing and fame!"

“…Whatever is fine.”

Yuli said.

"Everyone has their own reasons... What matters is whether they have the power to put their ideals into practice.

You look weak, but you were chosen as the last guard of the Demon King because you are loyal enough, right?"

"Hmph... Then let me let you experience for yourself how strong I am!"

The dark elf interrupted the conversation and launched a surprise attack on the brave Yuri.

Her speed was unbelievable.

It must be because I accepted the magic potion given by Demon Lord Rosa.

But even so, her movement can be called a flash.

Faster, quicker, faster than any swordsman Ulysse had ever encountered before—

"Phantom draws the sword!"

The dark elf female knight drew the sword from the sheath at her waist and cut Yuli's body in half.

——That’s how it should be.

But she stopped completely just before the sword was about to be unsheathed.

Yuri stood still as the Azure Queen quietly stabbed into the dark elf's abdomen.

"How could this happen? Why... grunt..."

The dark elf bit his lip unwillingly.

In terms of speed, I am obviously faster!

"I think the sword-drawing technique should be a technique for assassination."

Yuri sighed.

"Since I entered this room, you've been giving off a strong aura of 'I'm going to draw my sword!'... How can I be caught off guard?"

The hero pulled the saber out of the female knight's slender body, and the latter fell heavily in a pool of blood.

Although it was not intentional...

But because her speed just now was indeed fast enough, the "Azure Queen" failed to accurately penetrate the vital points.

If I'm lucky, I might be able to survive, the brave man thought.

“It has nothing to do with me though.”

……

……

……

Seven fights, seven wins.

All battles are fought in seconds, with the winner decided at the moment of encounter.

Such a terrifying record is definitely not because the seven demon generals directly under the Demon King are weak - but because the brave Yuri is very strong.

At this point, even the once untouchable Four Heavenly Kings are no longer a match for the brave Yuri.

Even so, there are still enemies that cannot be defeated.

The lich Leoric... Yuri's greatest enemy, the king of the undead who killed Celestia and took away the goddess's core.

His level has exceeded the upper limit (Lv.100), and he has achieved divinity. On top of that, he also possesses wisdom and caution far beyond that of ordinary people.

Even when Yuri set fire to its territory and destroyed hundreds of years of research, it remained indifferent, hiding in the dark and keeping a low profile, and still monitors Yuri's every move.

It has to be admitted that it is the most terrifying and dangerous enemy Yuli has ever encountered.

The difficulty level of the singularity may have changed. Is it eight stars now? Or nine stars?

Whatever, anyway...

I can't defeat it with my current self.

You can't defeat it by yourself.

Now that Celes is dead, there is only one person left in this world that Yuri can rely on and trust.

Far in the deepest part of the Demon King's Castle, the "Empress" Rosalia is nominally Yuri's enemy, but in reality is his lover, ally, and accomplice.

To properly contact Rosaria under the lich's surveillance.

He had to hide the news from Leoric's spies, tell her the news of Celestia's death, and then tell her his next plan.

After calm thinking, Yuri came to the conclusion that he would enter the Demon King's Castle from the front.

In the deepest part of the Demon King's Castle is an invincible barrier created by the "Devil King's Divine Protection".

Once we get there, even Leoric's spies will not be able to monitor us.

But Yuri alone can't do it.

If Rosaria ordered her subordinates to let the hero go, the cunning Leoric would definitely notice it and take action immediately.

So, this is actually a risky gamble.

Yuli won the bet.

Not only did Rosalia not let her lover go, but she ordered her subordinates to stop the hero as much as possible.

The two of them had no prior contact, but they tacitly completed a perfect collaborative performance and successfully deceived Leoric.

Aunt Rosa and I really have a mutual understanding... This was the first time Yuli felt a little comforted after Celeste's death.

Now, in the eyes of bystanders, the brave Yuri almost slaughtered the entire Demon King's Castle, and the hatred between him and the Demon King Rosa is irreconcilable.

At this moment, the Lich is probably still feeling complacent about the upcoming fatal battle between the two, waiting to reap the benefits.

"..."

The black-haired boy pushed open the last door.

Stepping into the Demon King’s invincible barrier, looking at the blond Demon King on the throne—

The brave Yuri's journey to save the world has just begun.

178 You were deceived, idiot?

"Da da da."

The crisp sound of high heels echoed in the hall.

As soon as Yuri stepped into the deepest part of the Demon King's Castle, Rosaria stood up from the throne.

Although I wanted to be a little reserved and pretend, the moment I saw Yuri's face, this idea disappeared immediately...

Rosalia held her long skirt in her hands and trotted down the long stairs.

"Yuri!"

She hugged the boy tightly.

"Rosa..."

Rosalia buried her face in Yuri's shoulder and ran her fingers through his hair.

She kept taking deep breaths again and again, as if to make up for the happiness she had missed during those few weeks of physical time.

This throne room has been transformed by the "Devil's Protection" and has become an invincible domain belonging to the Demon King alone, capable of shielding all attacks and interference from the outside.

So Rosaria didn't have to worry about her intimacy with the hero being seen by others.

After a long time, she raised her face again and looked into the boy's eyes with a smile.

"You're finally here, Yuli... Do you know how long I've been waiting, idiot?"

"Ah, sorry."

"Why are you so straightforward today? You're usually very stubborn..."
