Black Hero
Worst nightmare

15? Because one village has been destroyed, that means there are 14 villages left. Because Fredrosse is now a puppet Melves most likely the village there has been made a demon. That means the village is still safe now lives 12.

"What exactly are you planning?" Adelino was curious about my question.

"Can I ask you to protect the remaining villages? We don't know where next Melves will turn the villagers."

"Sure, I'll send a letter to Zetes and Welford to carry out your plan."

"Thank you."

After discussing with Altson we decided to go back to Valmas, my head was filled with trouble.

The villagers turned into demons, Gerheim and I still haven't solved Riska's problem. Problems came one by one, I also still have to take care of the portal of destruction.

Huh ... Can't I just rest for a moment?

We are currently heading to the city of Valmas and I am still thinking of solving this problem, while still in the mode of thinking Brull looks at me and asks curiously.

"There's Zen? You seem to have a lot of thoughts, now just rest you can get sick if you work too hard."

"You're right, but even so trouble keeps coming and I can't just look." I complained while sighing heavily.

"I know that, so you don't have to endure it alone. I'm here because my partner needs help so for now you better take a break."

Seeing Brull so understanding made me feel comfortable, I somehow felt like I had a good sister. I smiled and started to close my eyes.

At that moment the girls immediately stared at Brull sharply.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

"Not really!" They answered simultaneously while throwing their faces away.

Brull again focused on seeing the road and forgot about the incident.

Brull does not realize that the four girls except Misaki feel that Zen is taken from them, seeing Zen who looks happy when Brull attention to him makes the four girls jealous.

"Emm..."

As the girls were still glaring at Brull their gazes moved to the sleeping Zen, cold water drenched his face and his expression showed discomfort.

"It seems like he's having a bad dream."

Brull, curious about Zen, feels like the heat is stopping his car and shaking Zen's body to wake him up.

There was no response from Zen.

They did not understand what was happening to Zen at the moment.

On a vast plain many people were lying with wounds and blood on their bodies, in the midst of the chaos a young man in king-like clothes was crying over a girl in his hand covered with blood and wounds.

It was raining heavily on both of them.

"Please .. hang on in a minute! Don't leave me!"

The young man shouted to the girl who was half conscious.

"Ber ... stop crying. You're a demon king .. not."

The girl's voice trembled, her extremely deep injuries made it a bit difficult to speak. Tears from the young man did not stop coming out of his eyes.

"Why? Why won't the wound close! Shit, what should I do."

The man used his magic on the girl to heal her but her magic had no effect on her wound.

"It ... Enough, Zen. I'm glad .. saw you worried about me, but .. uhuk." The girl coughed up blood and continued her words. "I'm a hero, you know. People ... who keep trying to kill you repeatedly."

"What indeed! I don't want to lose you."

"Haha. What a romantic, love story of a hero and a demon king. How does it feel to lose someone, the Zen Demon King."

The old man mocked the young man with a wide smile, the young man narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

"Gerheim!"

Infuriated, a white flame flew towards Gerheim but he managed to dodge it easily.

"Currently, what do you really want? Huh!"

"Nothing, it's just that I really like this condition. Humans and demons continue to be at odds, but I never thought that a demon lord like you loved a hero who was a human."

"Zen, I'm sorry ... for everything .. and also .. thank you very much."

Zen instantly returned to the girl as he spoke.

"... Actually I love you too .. I once imagined we were husband and wife in peace. Imagining us having a very beautiful girl .. has made me very happy."

"Hiks .. hiks ... I hope it happens."

"that's annoying."

A fireball came and hit Zen's back and caught fire, Zen paid no heed to the fire on his back and continued to endure the pain.

Rena rubbed Zen's tears with a smile and right then and there with the rest of her remaining strength Rena said her last words.

"I love you so much, Zen. Also good bye."

"I love you too ... Rena."

Zen stood up and shouted loudly.

"I promise! Someday I'll make that dream come true, Rena!"

Gerheim laughed with excitement as he watched Rena burn.

"Haha. This is what happens if you look for trouble with me, Demon Lord."

Zen stared at the ground and took a deep breath, a moment later the emotions were no longer visible on Zen's face. His eyes were empty, Zen let out a white flame in his hand and quickly ran towards Gerheim.

Gerheim who saw it quickly tried to dodge the attack but Gerheim made a mistake that he made eye contact with Zen which made him unable to move.

It was then that Zen pierced Gerheim's heart with a white flame but Gerheim managed to break free and within a second he dodged and pierced Zen's heart.

Zen's white flame did not hit Gerheim's heart but it made Zen's attack hit his stomach and began to burn Gerheim's body.

Zen retreated as far as possible and his consciousness began to disappear, staying a few more seconds before Zen completely died he used the rest of his mana and activated his extra skill.

"[Carnation]"

A magic circle appeared in the sky and the light began to shine brightly. Zen muttered to himself.

"I swear .. I'll kill Gerheim and see you again Rena."

***

"Huh?"

I opened my eyes and woke up somewhat surprised, my head hurt and I felt unwell.

"You're sober? Thank goodness you're okay."

Kana came while carrying a small bucket filled with water, I remember that I was sleeping in the car and it seems that now I am in my room, what is this in the city of Valmas?
