14-1. A knight has a black heart.

What White Magnolia said was true.

I only took one step and headed outside, but the trees and forest are moving wildly. She disappeared even if she marked her tracks by cutting the road she had come before with a knife.

All means of memory and knowledge are blocked. The feeling of being distorted.

“Really. I have absolutely no idea what direction this is.”

“It is the power of ‘ignorance’. Why did the boy get out of this place while remembering me, but he has no talent?”

“..I have nothing to say. Heavenly Demon.”

Because it’s not like a hero. I sighed. There is no holy sword, no master piece. I didn’t have enough ability to catch the demon king, so I dragged the corruption route.

“But boy, why do you keep wearing that black knight helmet? The armor from when I was the Demon King is gone.”

“Oh, I can’t take this off.”

“Oh, since the original woman is the demon king, I thought she wore it to hide her identity.”

“That’s not true. Heavenly Demon.”

“Also, I thought it was the work of the dwarven beards who had an eccentric temper.”

I wish I was like Masterpiece. It’s just comfortable to use, and there’s nothing special about it except that you can breathe a little underwater.

But with this on, only the magic hat got twisted. What was it? Was it a drop item from the beginning? Then it makes sense to look at me and misunderstand me.

“It is true that a bad-tempered person gave it to you, but….”

“Khehehehe! Then, wouldn’t it be something with demonic energy?”

Speaking of perks, don’t they have to be something great? But making the demon king obsessed?

As expected, he is the producer of . If the player tries to do something easily, he won’t let go.

“That is also true. This is your word.”

I put my hand on the forehead of the helmet. One thing that is certain is that it resembles the glass knight’s equipment.

I wonder if there will be something if I get closer to Mardol. In the game, there were also items that matched.

“…”

When I thought about it, I got the feeling that I made it look like a person going to die and disappeared. Does the glass knight worry about me?

It must have been the trauma of Magic Hat holding Belin Grancia, her parents.

It’s been 5 years since I was possessed, and I was less interested in the crown prince, so I remembered it only after seeing her face.

“..So, what does it mean to know the direction? You said you could get out of here.”

I asked the Heavenly Demon how to get out of this forest. It seemed that the kids at the academy were worried. Even later, he shouldn’t have been kidnapped and imprisoned by the real imperial family.

“A simple analogy. It is to obliterate the concept of the demon king.”

“Yes? Are there artifacts here? A holy sword or something…”

“Huh, that’s not even funny. Boy.”

Then it was White Magnolia who burst into laughter as if it were absurd. I could see the irises and teeth unique to dragons. Are there any hidden items?

“Because it’s a holy sword or a demonic sword from the beginning, the ronin obsessed with such strange things are foolish.”

“That means….”

“A sword depends on the user who uses it. If there is a famous sword that covers the owner, it is unconditionally wrong. Boy.”

While doing so, Baek Mokryeon pulled out her own sword that was worn around her waist. An ordinary black sword. There didn’t seem to be anything particularly angular.

“Boy, then can’t you cut the demon king with this sword?”

“Perhaps it is..?”

“If that’s the case, what would be the reason why the boy almost killed the demon king using Drake’s ultimate?”

So you noticed from the beginning that I was involved with the 10 girls? Knowing yet testing it is a thorough personality. Blood rushed through my head. Where have you heard something similar?

“The dragon kills the opponent’s concept… Ah, no way.”

“Yes, that theory is correct.”

“…Mere swordsmanship surpassed the power of the Demon King.”

“Yes, swordsmanship is the study of will. Anything is possible if you have the will to cut it. Because….”

As he began to speak, the white magnolia stopped at a huge tree in front of him.

“Being obsessed with weapons is not the essence of being a true swordsman. Boy.”

It was a huge old tree that was as thick as a house, and someone could call it a world tree. The world tree is not just a dirty big tree.

“Even if you use such an ordinary-looking iron sword.”

The sword that White Magnolia showed me didn’t feel particularly impressive. Something similar seemed common enough to be found in the academy’s swordsmanship training grounds.

“..Even if the thing in front of you is the sea, you can cut it down.”

The Heavenly Demon lightly gripped the sword and cut horizontally as if drawing a straight line in place.

“Baekhwananman (百花爛漫).”

Then, a strange thing happened.

Suddenly. A cool cutting sound echoed through the earth. All the trees in front of me were cut cleanly like the shape of the horizon. The top was blown off. Dense trees turned into straight lines.

A soft and clear sword that continues like falling petals.

“…”

The sound arrived later than the sword. Crunchy, wooden beams flying outward with a sound all at once. Is this the Heavenly Demon White Magnolia? It felt different from Drake’s swordsmanship.

“Kuh, well, whatever you say, the main girl has already been hit by a bullet from Head. She can’t go out.”

The Heavenly Demon looks at me with a fishy smile. Even with this much power, it seems that they cannot escape from the forest. The tree was restored to its original state.

Insane performance. Is this a swordsmanship in the first place?

“..Can I learn this too?”

“What? A boy? It won’t. It is a different level from mana because it uses internal energy.”

“You can. I have a unique constitution.”

“Technology is not important here either. You have to rise to the top, but it’s impossible for mere humans. Boy.”

Spouse now. Rather, it might fit my constitution that I can’t manage mana. I intuitively knew that it was a sharp move that could catch the demon king.

“I am a disciple of Drake the Dragon Slayer. It should be possible.”

“Hey, you’re the apprentice of that snoring guy. Since I am erased through ignorance, did I even get the strange title of dragon slayer? It’s ridiculous.”

“Perhaps. Heavenly Demon.”

In order to return to the academy, I had no choice but to become stronger. If there really is a state where you can dispel the power of the demon lord with willpower from the start.

“Please. Please.”

It was exactly what I needed right now. As long as Magic Hat started moving. The safety of the nameless saintess is uncertain. You don’t know when it will recover and pose a threat.

“..Why does the original woman have to teach the boy?”

Then the Heavenly Demon snorted at her. He crossed his arms and showed me an uncooperative attitude. That wouldn’t be the case. Did you forget what I said to live just before?

“If I use Baek Mokryeon’s swordsmanship….”

Let’s assume that it is possible to dispel the power of the demon lord with will.

“Dennis is more likely to remember you fully.”

“Kuhh.. That’s right. Because boys avoid ignorance.”

I was able to keep this love line without having to hold my head tightly. Professor Dennis will also figure out how to get her out of this forest of hers.

“You are quite smart. She is the one who doesn’t have disciples under her care. But if you’re a disciple of that man….”

Because the moment her beloved lover is cursed, he is a pure-hearted man who barely remembers her by casting her magic on her own body.

“..There is nothing I can’t accept.”

She now knows that I am involved with Dennis. The Heavenly Demon smiles as if she is happy. There was a dragon of the cursed spring who put his hopes on me while watching me.

“Thank you.”

Excluding Head, the only person who remembers White Magnolia is me, now a possessed chair. It was fortunate that he was an avid player of .

“Good. Boy It’s going to be a pretty tough undertaking. Can you follow me?”

“I didn’t have a choice from the beginning. Heavenly Demon.”

“Khehehehe! I’ll see how long I can do that. Boy.”

So from that day on, I became a disciple of the Heavenly Demon. Maybe Master Drake would be angry if he found out.

“I will do my best.”

Anyway, it was more important to get out of here and let people know that they are alive.

***

At that time, in the dormitory of Grand Hearts Academia.

“You bastard, Richt.. Where did you really go?”

The blonde-haired warrior was contemplating while wrapping his hair. It was because after her own friend left to battle the Demon King, she didn’t come back even after days passed.

“Just come back. She will spread rumors about that gray-haired saint.”

She didn’t even know that she was also a paladin class in the first place. She knew very little about Richt herself.

“Come to think of it like this, was my friend right? Are you the only one who feels that way?”

He had only recently heard of the reason why he wore a helmet, and he knew all about the flaws in the holy sword. He was right when he came to think of it now that he advised to keep it if he was going to protect it.

“If you hesitated a little then, Ariel would have been in danger.”

He jumped out first and hit the card. He made her back behind her. If he had been an immature warrior before meeting Licht, he would have tried to judge a person by whether or not the Holy Sword of Light trembled.

“Ha..Kinel, you stupid bastard..”

Hook his head. As he became the Demon King, he tried to protect Licht. It was sad that he didn’t have the will to do so. No matter how much he thought about it, he was terrified.

“…”

He was despised by the villagers for being chosen as a hero. Because of this, he knew his mission too lightly.

Until he meets Licht, he just needs to save the world from bad guys. He thought vaguely.

“It can’t go on like this.”

I remembered Ariel’s scarred face. Healed with her divine power and left no scars, but a deep wound was already left in the heart of the warrior Kainel.

“Rather than this world, we must protect Ariel.”

While contemplating what options were left for him, the hero rose from his seat. Advice that Richt once gave to himself.

“..If I had been strong, wouldn’t you have gone to fight alone? Licht.”

As he firmly gripped the Holy Sword of Light that returned to him, the hero strengthened his resolve. He was angry when he saw the weapon flying alone leaving his friend behind. Is this a holy sword? It was absurd.

“I’m tired of being a hero now. As you said, Richt, focus on speed.”

Thinking of the black knight who protected him and Ariel, Kainel decided to try to keep up with his friend.

“..Because if they are really dead, you have to chase them to the end of hell and hit them with a Shine Strike.”

As if nothing had happened, the blonde-haired warrior headed to the training ground, imagining Ariel and Licht teasing him with a smirk.
