The Supporting Character Demon King Dies
As Frieren unleashed her Elemental Attack Magic, the Hero of the South unleashed Super-Light-Speed and Super-Acceleration Magic, striking directly at the Demon King's back.
As everyone attacked together, the Demon King laughed wildly, his Mana surging once more. But the next second, his body was instantly blasted dozens of meters away.
Li Yan indifferently withdrew his gaze. It was an oppressive magic released with a thousand years of Mana. The conditions for releasing it were very simple: ten million Mana per glance.
As the Demon King fell to the ground, everyone's attacks slammed into Demon King. Although they didn't know how the Demon King had been knocked away, everyone understood that they should strike while the iron was hot.
Sensing the Mana fluctuations around her, Frieren turned to look at her senior brother. Clearly, the attack that sent the Demon King flying was her senior brother's doing. That invisible magical attack had directly broken through the Demon King's defenses, blasting him dozens of meters away.
"Interesting, very interesting!"
Countless attacks bombarded the Demon King's body. When the smoke cleared, the Demon King, clad in Mana Armor, coldly removed his armor. The malice in his eyes sent shivers down everyone's spines. It was the mournful cry of death, as the Demon King's Mana was fully unleashed!
With a single blow, Eize, the vanguard, was sent flying hundreds of meters. In an instant, the Demon King was already in front of Himmel. Himmel raised the Bootleg Holy Sword to try to defend against the Demon King's attack, but the Demon King, who was now fully unleashing his Mana, simply struck out with a casual gesture, Himmel was sent flying.
"Such powerful Mana!"
Solitär stared in astonishment. The Demon King had not yet revealed his full Mana, but even with it concealed Demon King, he was still able to overwhelm all the Demons.
"What an absolute monster!"
Frieren stared coldly at the Demon King before her, her killing intent blazing forth. She had never forgotten that the Demon King had ordered the killing of all her relatives.
As Frieren raised her staff, the hellfire burned toward the Demon King, but the next second, the Demon King indifferently flashed into the air. His figure was like a ghost. In just an instant, the moment Frieren ended the Hellfire, he instantly moved in front of Frieren. It wasn't Space Magic, but pure speed.
"Frieren, I don't believe in Schlacht's prophecies about the future. I won, not you!"
A burst of dark magic erupted at close range. Li Yan activated his Defensive Magic, pulled Frieren behind him, and looked closely at the Demon King Mana aura was exceptionally surging.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you bully my Junior Sister. Besides me, there's also our Grandmaster. No one else in this world can be allowed to bully her."
The moment the Defensive Magic ended, dozens of Normal Attack Magic suddenly exploded from the sky towards the Demon King. Even though the Demon King reacted in time and dodged instantly with his agility, Li Yan had already predicted his position through the Eye of the Future. The spot beneath his feet was completely frozen by layers of extremely cold ice. A giant stone hand formed from earth elements slammed down on the Demon King. When the Demon King broke free from the extremely cold ice, his body was once again bound by hundreds of Thorn Vines.
As several elemental spells bombarded the area, Li Yan silently watched the smoke billowing from the magical attack. The next second, within the smoke, the Demon King unleashed his Mana and launched another surprise attack. Seeing the future, several light magic circles appeared around Li Yan, and several rays converging with light energy particles were fired simultaneously. Those light energy particles, each as thick as a stone pillar, struck the Demon King's body, occasionally knocking off fragments of his Mana shield.
Even though the power of the light energy particles was partially blocked by the Mana shield, the powerful backlash still caused considerable damage to the Demon King.
"Do they really think I'm a magician?"
Looking at the Demon King had already broken through to his front, Li Yan's lips curled up slightly. He drew out Frieren's Moon-Panties from the Alternate Space —no, he drew out the Holy Sword —and fiercely slashed at the Demon King was coming to deliver his head.
The Holy Sword's radiance illuminated the entire Demon King's Castle. In an instant, the dark clouds in the sky burst forth with light, and the Demon King's Castle was once again split in two. The Demon King's body transformed into Mana particles, and a look of emotion appeared on his face. Back then, Schlacht had told him that he would die in the hero's party with the Elves, so he had always been wary of Serie, that terrifying Elf ancestor. As for Frieren, he hadn't cared much about her, but now he had to accept the truth: he had indeed died Frieren.
The Demon King died, and the world returned to peace. Humans lived a stable life. But just when everyone thought this way, the Demons' attacks on villages continued. The Demon King's death did not mean the annihilation of the Demons, but rather the loss of the commander who ordered the attacks on human towns. If humanity truly wanted peace, it would at least need to wipe out the Demons and then unify all human Kingdoms.
All the miscellaneous Kingdoms can be destroyed, and the Demons can all be destroyed. This world only needs one voice, and that is the Lionheart King.
The death of the Demon King is ultimately a good thing; at least things are much easier on the border now, as there won't be large numbers of Demons recklessly attacking.
After the Demon King's death, the hero Himmel, filled with the joy of victory and exhausted, embarked on his journey back to the Royal Capital. The scenery along the way became exceptionally vibrant and beautiful in his eyes, as if all of nature was cheering for his victory. Although his role in this victory was minimal, what he cared about was not the achievement of killing the Demon King, but the sense of accomplishment of saving countless humans.
When he returned to the Royal Capital, he was greeted by cheers and a grand celebration. People flocked to the streets to present flowers and praise to his team members. Lionheart King personally held a grand banquet for him to thank him for his contributions to the country. Frieren, who was sitting among the crowd as a mere decoration, looked bewildered. Although she had indeed made contributions in defeating the Demon King, she was reluctant to accept such an achievement that would be remembered for eternity. She actually preferred to Nameless, a shut-in at home.
At the banquet, the hero of Himmel was honored as a "National Hero," receiving the same treatment as the Hero of the South. His name was recorded in history and he became a legend.
Himmel enjoyed unprecedented honor and respect, but he did not become arrogant or complacent. He knew that he had not contributed much to this victory; it was just the beginning of his life journey, and many more challenges awaited him in the future.
In the Royal Capital, the hero Himmel lived a peaceful and fulfilling life. He no longer traveled around as before, but began to focus on the governance of the country and the well-being of the people. Occasionally, he would help an old woman cross the road and help the villagers deal with Monsters.
In his spare time, the brave Himmel would reminisce about his past adventures, the days he fought alongside his companions. He often lamented the passage of time, but he knew that no matter when or where, he would always remember that courage and faith, and continue on his journey.
