E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 128 - End

'Zraaasshh!!!'

Feris seemed to be slashing towards Filya quickly. Cut off his right hand without any difficulty.

"Guaahhhhhh!!!"

Filya who felt an immense pain flowing all over her body, could only continue to scream. While Feris only continued this one-sided massacre.

Now, the slash of his sword aimed at Filya's left foot, which was also easily cut off. Along with the slash, Filya fell to the ground with eyes that kept shedding tears.

In his mind, there was only one.

'Mr. Valkazar.... I'm sorry....' Filya thought in her heart as she closed her eyes. Waiting for his own life was taken in the hands of that man.

At that very instant, an enormous magic circle had formed. With a blood red color, the magic circle with a very complicated pattern was covering the sky in this Eastfort fortress.

A large-scale ancient magic that Leo had learned during his time under Roselia's guidance.

Dispels.

This magic is able to eliminate the effects of any magic that is around it. Even in a broader sense, it dried up all the Mana present in the region. Make all the magic that is no longer able to be activated.

And in this case, is the fortress of Eastfort itself.

Along with the active red magic circle, all the soldiers who were previously under Filya's control immediately fell to the ground.

They began to regain their consciousness slowly.

But as the Mana in this place began to be drained, their bodies started to limp. Including Leo who is on the wall of this fort.

'Damn 'em.... Hopefully this is enough.' Leo thought with his right hand that kept pointing up to that sky. His left hand is holding his right hand.

After a while, Leo finally unleashed the Dispel's magic.

The magic that only lasted for approximately 5 seconds, has succeeded in freeing all the hostages in this fortress.

And in the end, make Filya no longer have any chance to run away or negotiate.

'Bruck!'

Shortly after unleashing the magic, Leo began to fall to the ground. Almost lost all consciousness.

So did Selene who was on top of that tower. All of that was thanks to the enormous use of Mana, as well as the effects of the Dispel magic itself.

But that's enough. Leo has finished his role. And what awaited after that, was only darkness that began to cover his gaze.

'No.... Can't do. I can't pass out here.' Shouted Leo in his heart.

He immediately bit his own tongue to restore his consciousness through the pain. With a staggering body, He tried to stand up to see the final result of this fight.

The view in front of him was pretty good. Where Feris is seen still standing firmly while Filya who has lost one hand and leg is no longer able to escape.

"Thank God...." Leo's words are short. Now he sat on the wall looking up at the sky.

A feeling of calm and peace began to envelop him who had cleared up one of the many major problems in this human territory.

But nevertheless....

'Swuuushhh!'

Something seemed to fly right above Leo's sight. Something with a human-like shape with black wings.

He immediately stood up to see what was really going on.

But it's all too late.

The figure of a human who had black wings on his back, now stood right in front of Feris. He held his sword with only his right hand.

His appearance was quite outstanding with clothes like a noble. It's just....

"Can we stop this?" Said the man to Feris.

As powerful as he tried to swing his sword, Feris was completely unable to make the sword move.

While the man standing right in front of him was only giving a look that seemed full of pity.

"Mr Valkazar!" Shouted Filya who immediately kowtowed beside the Man.

Hearing that name, Feris was of course immediately shocked. He had no idea that the Demon King he had been looking for would appear alone right in front of him.

"You.... You're the Demon King?" Feris asked with a gaze filled with hatred.

"That's how people call me." Reply Valkazar calmly.

After a moment of silence, until the other five heroes arrived around where Feris was, Valkazar spoke once more.

"I'm sorry my subordinates are out of control. In exchange for you forgiving him and allowing myself to punish him, I will let you ask for something on behalf of man. Just say it." Valkazar's words remained without the slightest expression on his face.

Leo who sees from a distance does not really hear their conversation. But one thing is certain.

That his Clairvoyance A-level skill could not be used to see even the slightest bit of the suddenly appearing Demon figure.

"Asking for something in the name of a human?" Ask Fris to make sure of something.

"As long as I can fulfill it, I will."

With that reply, Feris immediately asked.

"What if you leave humanity, and let us have peace? Or better yet, you killed yourself?!" Shouted Feris with a sharp gaze.

Still without the slightest change in expression, Valkazar seemed to raise Filya with his left hand.

"I can't kill myself. But I can give man peace."

Suddenly, the reply made Feris very confused. He did not expect that such an impossible request would actually be considered by a figure as powerful as himself.

He still doubted whether the Devil with a human-like form was really Valkazar. But seeing how the attitude of Filya who immediately prostrated to him, maybe he was the real Valkazar.

With that in mind, Feris asked again.

"Are you really going to give people peace? You gonna do it?"

Of course he can't believe that. A demon who for decades has always attacked mankind, but suddenly agreed to make peace?

That can't be happening. Even the wildest imagination.

But, this is the reality.

A chain with flames that seemed to be blazing began to emerge from his chest.

"Ancient magic, Oath of Life. If either party deviates from their vows, then this magic will immediately burn their heart and soul right then and there." Valkazar.

The ancient magic of Oath of Life, was one of the most powerful contract magic that existed in this world. Binding their hearts and souls in a vow that is completely inviolable.

But if it is broken, then the contract will burn and kill the offender. In other words, the other party would be disengaged from that contract.

At the very least, it was a break-even price for the person who broke the contract. Where his opponent can now also break it freely after he is gone.

Even in history, one of the great witches could not survive death after breaking this oath.

Where his heart began to burn violently, as well as his own soul in a fire that could not be extinguished before his soul completely burned out.

Knowing that, Feris was even more confused with the attitude of Valkazar.

"You sure about that?" Ask Feris.

But Valkazar was silent. He did not reply and waited for a reply from Feris calmly.

After a while, Feris agreed to accept the contract.

Valkazar appears to stretch out his arm and pulls a similar chain of fire from Feris's chest. The two chains were bound in 6 previously formed magic circles.

The six magic circles were currently still plain looking without any writing. But after Valkazar swore on it, writing in the form of embers was created slowly.

"I, Valkazar, on behalf of my dead Father and Mother, swore that not a single Devil would set foot on the land of men, from this place to the South to the end of this continent for good." Valkazar said firmly.

Of the six pieces of the magic circle, 3 pieces appear to write the exact same writing. Where one immediately moves into Valkazar's body, another into Feris's body, and another remains in place.

Feris on the other hand was also preparing to speak. But he doesn't know what to say.

At that moment, Valkazar seemed to be pulling on his right arm while talking.

"Remember, I just vowed never to set foot beyond this fortress. If you decide to cross this line, we will kill everyone without hesitation."

Valkazar's words confirmed what Feris had to say. And for that....

"Then I, Feris on behalf of all mankind, will not allow a single human being to pass through this fortress of Eastfort. You satisfied?" Ask Feris.

After the inscription was engraved in that magic circle, Valkazar simply stared at Feris in a puzzled gaze.

"I'm not asking you to swear, but fine. I'll take it as long as you let Filya go."

At that moment, Feris felt wronged. What Valkazar had wanted all along, was simply to take his subordinates away from this Fortress.

Not to ask humans not to cross the border of the Eastfort Fortress.

But Feris was already mentally exhausted. Facing a Demon figure as strong as Valkazar before him alone had already drained his mind completely.

Thinking about killing him? Right now when there's another hero in Eastfort?

As if he could read his mind, Valkazar immediately completed the contract while speaking.

"You didn't swear not to hurt me, did you? You can try it if you want." Valkazar said calmly.

Simultaneously, the two chains of fire were now back within each other. The contract between the two is active.

All the heroes around Feris immediately re-attached their weapons.

All because of Feris's order to restrain themselves in attacking Valkazar.

"The good choice. Now, before I die alone, I'll be out of here." Valkazar said as he carried the figure of Filya, along with two of her severed limbs.

Simultaneously, Valkazar immediately ordered all the Devils who were infiltrating the human territory to go through his absolute command ability.

Because there was one reason, why Valkazar chose Oath of Life magic over other contract magic.

That is a fact, that this magic has a waiting period of 3 days before it is fully active. Give Valkazar a little time to attract all his subordinates.

Just before He flew away and left, He turned to look at Feris and said.

"I recommend not using that sword too much. Or your mind and soul will be damaged, after all, that's why I threw away my father's sword. But I didn't think humans would use it."

With that sentence, Valkazar finally flew and left. Leaving this Eastfort City, probably for good.

"I know that...." Reply Ferris with a wiry.

On the other hand, Leo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief because the high-level Devil had finally left. And finally be able to rest there quietly.

......***......

"Mr Valkazar, I'm sorry. Because of my mistake...." Said Filya with a look that looked so sad.

"No problem. Besides I've got what I want for free." Reply Valkazar now with a faint smile.

What Valkazar wanted was a period of peace to rebuild his army.

He still needed more power to conquer the invincible Dwarves, as well as the Elves who had the power of a quarter god.

And all that, he managed to get it with simple points like Filya. He even got an addition in the form of the fault of Feris who swore not to cross the Eastfort line.

"But because of that, won't we be able to conquer human territory?" Ask Filya.

The reply from Valkazar was very simple.

"I swear that the Devil will not set foot on human territory. Demons. Not another nation."

In other words, if Valkazar managed to conquer the Dwarves or Elves, he could still attack mankind. That is one of the most important points in this regard.

Plus again....

"After all, this contract will be waived if either party has died. I can still live another 500 years without the slightest problem. But humans? In 60 years he may be dead. What's more, you've worked really well this time." Valkazar said as he gently stroked Filya's hair.

"Really, Sir?! I've been working well?!" Ask Filya excitedly.

"of course. You managed to kill that healer, didn't you? That was your biggest accomplishment so far. Tell me, what do you want as a gift?"

Without any human being knowing....

Elias, one of the most important heroes in healing other heroes and supporting from the back line, has been killed at the hands of the human warriors themselves while under the influence of Filya.

All of that happened just before Leo activated his Dispel magic.
