99. Home Ground

＜Xargas of Greed＞

He was genuinely furious.

-To think you would interfere with us again!

Xargas emerged from the Demonic Energy radiating from the Saintess’s body.

From what seemed like a black abyss, a head and one arm emerged first.

[True Form]

This was Xargas’s true body in the Demon Realm.

He had even broken the Demons’ absolute taboo in order to kill Jooyeon.

Well, that might have been natural.

‘The plan I’ve spent decades on was ruined because of that one guy.’

It would have been easier if I could control the temple.

For that purpose, they made the shabby priestess Labelda into a Saintess.

How did the Demons make a lower priestess into a Saintess?

The Apostates of the Sun Temple, created with the power of Xargas.

They occupied the upper ranks of the temple. If they all moved with one purpose, creating a Saintess wasn’t a difficult task.

But now, there weren’t many Apostates left.

‘It’s all because of that guy.’

All the forces on the continent moved because of Joo-ahn’s speech.

The 8 Great Temples also started to find Apostates within them.

Only a few Apostates survived.

‘Well, that doesn’t matter. We can make as many Apostates as we want.’

In fact, there was a bigger problem.

[＜Black Curtain＞ High Rowzen]

It was because of the guy Joo-ahn insisted on calling ‘His Grace.’

The fact that a human, and a Hero at that, was the Demon King, caused the Demons to split into three factions.

‘He must have done that on purpose.’

The highest-ranking Demon, who was closest to the Demon King, was an unpredictable man.

So why were there three factions?

It went beyond the simple question of whether Joo-ahn was the Demon King or not.

‘If a human can become the Demon King, then why can’t we?’

Of course, one of those guys was ＜Greed＞.

He made a Saintess and even a fake Hero to become the Demon King himself.

But now, he was interfering in the territory he had created.

And that wasn’t all.

“It’s a Demon! Use the Divine Law!”

The Cardinal, who had been won over using the Saintess, changed his mind.

He was supposed to hold the Saintess’s hand and help their cause.

His teeth itched at the betrayal of a key figure, but it didn’t matter much.

“Why isn’t the temple’s barrier reacting?”

“This can’t be happening… The Sun God should be burning that Demon!”

Laughter escaped from Xargas’s mouth.

‘Fools.’

The Saintess, who was being manipulated by him, had already approached the heart of the temple and tampered with the core of the Divine Barrier.

That’s why this was possible.

[Sun Temple Clergy’s Unique Combined Skill]

-Sun’s Restraint

In an instant, a huge wall of Divine energy covered the Sun Temple.

It was a powerful barrier, as if it was imprisoning the Demons.

But the Cardinal’s face hardened at once.

“Who is it! Who used the Barrier Divine Law!?”

“Don’t you know that if you use this Divine Law here, it won’t imprison the Demons, but us!?”

That’s right.

This sacred spell imprisons both the target and the caster, preventing either from escaping.

Under these conditions, it cannot be lifted until Xargas is dead.

Rather, all of them are trapped here.

“But this is a group sacred spell. Can it be used if only one or two contribute their power…?”

In that instant, the priests who had realized something turned ghastly pale.

Doesn’t that mean that there’s another traitor?

It couldn’t be helped.

Poof!

“Cough… Why did you… Aren’t we comrades?”

“Kyaaagh!”

A bloody storm raged among the priests.

Xargas slowly rose to his feet.

‘The Saintess’ betrayal has yet to be revealed.’

If he kills everyone here, he can maintain his position as Saint.

The grand plan to manipulate the Temple of the Sun from the shadows could continue.

‘The problem is, that guy is included in all of it.’

He looked at Juyeon.

He was the one that Hairouzen had referred to.

‘That guy is our Demon Lord? Do you think I’d believe such nonsense?’

They said he even wielded the power of a Hero.

He just had to be careful of that.

Xargas hadn’t revealed himself for no reason.

He had brought something that was more than enough to seal away a single Hero.

‘I’ll cut off the breath of the Hero pretending to be the Demon Lord here.’

He’d also smash Hairouzen’s plan to smithereens.

But there was one thing he hadn’t counted on.

“I guess it’s about time we got started.”

Juyeon immediately called out to the man standing behind him.

“You don’t have to hold back anymore.”

-!

The man in robes who had been quietly following Juyeon’s party up until now.

He slowly removed his robe.

At that, Xargas’ face hardened. It was because of the object shining around his neck.

-That… That emblem, surely not?

[Hero’s Sigil]

There was no doubt about it. The thing shining around the man’s neck was that detestable sigil.

At the same time, Xargas was bewildered.

No, wait a minute.

‘There was another Hero?’

No way.

That means Hirowzen has misidentified the main character…

But then the main character’s hand glowed.

[Holy Sword Release]

Shugas’s expression changed at the light.

Seeing his expression, the main character smiled and asked why he looked like that.

“I thought I could at least ＜Seal＞ one Hero?”

-!!

Shugas’s pupils shook.

He knows about ＜Seal＞?

No, that’s not important.

‘Two would be too much.’

Leo raised his sword.

Shugas backed away without realizing it. The main character’s lips curled up into a grin.

“Try to seal me. Where?”

The main character drew closer.

“Why? Is two too hard? Can’t do it? Ah, is two really too much for you?”

…Damn it!

* * *

‘That Leo kid listens well.’

The main character looked at Leo with admiration.

The truth was, there was another reason he had endured until now.

“Stay back and be quiet until I tell you to move.”

“Why?”

“If you only swat at the bugs you can see, you won’t be able to pull out the roots.”

Leo didn’t understand at first either.

Why was he just being told to hold back, even though the traitors were right in front of him?

He just watched as the Hero known as Shuyin was slandered and ignored.

Even when the Saintess’s betrayal was confirmed.

He had barely been able to hold back, gripping the hilt of his sword until it creaked, as he watched Shuyin stand there doing nothing.

Honestly, he thought Shuyin was a traitor.

That’s why he thought about getting rid of Shuyin.

But once [Sun’s Restraint] was cast, he finally understood Shuyin’s intentions.

‘There were this many traitors hiding?’

Not just priests and paladins, but even ordinary townspeople.

The corrupted clerics were all using divine power to attack people.

If Leo had acted alone, he never would have found them.

Shuyin looked at Leo’s serious expression and chuckled.

‘I’m glad I brought him with me.’

Shuyin had known about the traitors in the temple to some extent.

Of course, when playing the Balantino Saga, it wasn’t a route that the hero often took since it was a route where the hero often died.

‘Either ＜Seal the Hero＞ or ＜Sacrifice＞, right?’

Usually, the hero dies from one of those two.

Well, you get a great reward in return, but I can’t die now, can I?

I’m the hero.

That’s why I brought Leo along on purpose.

Well, I didn’t plan on doing anything as dirty as killing Leo, another hero, so that the other could survive…

‘That’s not bad either.’

If it were a game, it would be a strategy worth considering, but I can’t kill a perfectly healthy person, can I?

Especially someone who would be more beneficial to have as an absolute ally.

‘Still, if I leave things as they are, my mentality will collapse.’

Hero bastards are strangely stubborn.

So the protagonist ran straight at the demon.

Woosh!

Light burst out of the holy sword in the protagonist’s hand.

Divine power that burned brightly like the sun struck Xargas directly.

-Kyaaak!

He tried to use ＜Seal the Hero＞, but he couldn’t.

[Moonlight]

Leo’s moonlight flash didn’t give him an opening.

Flash!

-Damn it, these damn things!

Xargas immediately unleashed his power, but the range of his attack was weaker than expected.

That’s because he hadn’t finished summoning his true form yet.

‘Strange. Why can he attack me in my true form?’

He had been intentionally drawing out the power of his true form so as not to be attacked.

And the true form is the embodiment of a demon.

Normally, humans would lose their minds and run away from the power of [Overwhelm].

Given the situation, he was thinking about how to deal with one of the two heroes.

But why are these two pups attacking so easily?

The protagonist smirked at that expression.

‘I bet he’s agonizing over why Overwhelm isn’t working.’

The answer was very simple.

‘やはり [免疫] の実績だ.’

The protagonist had an achievement that made him immune to the effects of [Overwhelm].

Leo, as a hero, is endowed with the innate trait [Indomitable].

It prevents him from ever shrinking back or feeling fear when facing a stronger opponent.

That’s why he was able to fight like this.

‘Well, he’s been strangely strong from the beginning.’

Ryuujin and Leo have the [Indomitable] trait because they are heroes, but they shouldn’t be this composed against a superior demon, should they?

‘He seems just like Ryujin.’

It was as if the Ryujin who had just defeated the Demon King had traveled back in time.

Thinking about it, the spec he had briefly glanced at earlier was also very similar to the Ryujin he knew.

‘But that can’t be.’

Still, this was good for Jooyeon.

“Leo! Attack the parts that haven’t been summoned yet! Only target the parts that have already been attacked!”

Leo furrowed his brows.

His face was dubious, but he moved exactly as Jooyeon commanded.

However, Leo would never know.

‘Oh? That trait that evades those attacks is [Wings of the Wind]?’

Jooyeon was observing him as he gave his orders.

It was to confirm the trait that he couldn’t confirm with [Inspect].

‘I’m going to take the Hero title from that guy anyway.’

It was to confirm the Hero’s ability firsthand.

And that was when.

Soon, Whanggas let out a furious shout with a pained expression.

-You… Despicable bastards! Heroes! Fight fair and square!

“What fairness with the Demon Tribe! If you want to fight like that, then release the brainwashing on the humans!”

-…….

Whanggas’ mouth closed.

‘No. He’s not wrong.’

Why did this make him feel so bad?

However, he couldn’t just keep taking the hits like this.

‘There’s not only ＜Seal＞ when it comes to dealing with Heroes.’

-I know the power you possess. And that very strength will be your downfall.

“……!”

KWA-AANG!

An enormous amount of magic power poured down on one spot.

And just before it reached Jooyeon.

KABOOM!

It began to split apart into countless magic power.

The magic power, which spread out like a black flower, was targeting the humans around them.

-Those people will die because of you!

POO-hahahahaHA.

Whanggas deliberately laughed more evilly.

A Hero’s weakness is their sense of justice.

The more malicious the enemy, and the more dangerous the situation, the more the Hero exerts ＜Sacrifice＞ and dies.

However, Jooyeon laughed more evilly than Whanggas.

“Is that all?”

-Wha… What?

“You didn’t know, did you? This is my home ground.”

Joo-eun raised her hand.
