E - Rank Hero In Another World
The Sacrificial Ending - A Bloodbath World

Hearing the offer from Valkazar, Leo's heart was quite shaky for a moment. But Leo recalled what happened to Selene.

Selene's death at the hands of Valkazar's subordinates was not a lie. How could he possibly trust a Devil who intends to kill everything for such an entirely unknown purpose?

Strictly speaking, Leo immediately shouted.

"Egalathia!"

Along with that shout, an extremely strong air pressure appeared around Leo's body. A very strong pressure even to throw Valkazar far back.

"Kough! Goddamnit! So you kept it all this time?!" Shouted Valkazar after realizing the great power that was in Leo's body.

'This power.... It was even dozens of times larger than the one in the holy lake around the Mana tree?!' Shouted Valkazar in his heart.

It is still difficult to try to stay upright in this very strong air pressure.

And Leo himself....

He was still trying to get used to this great power. Even he felt that a single light step could immediately destroy this castle at that very instant.

No longer giving Leo a chance to always lead the way, Valkazar immediately used all of his strongest magic.

Dozens of balls of red light appear to spout hot rays towards Leo. Trying to melt it down was just like an entire stone wall that had immediately melted in just that instant.

Even so, Leo still stood. Withstanding everything with just a simple shield magic.

"Occredible.... With this...."

'Tap 'em! Braaakkkk!'

With a footstroke from Leo alone made half of this castle smashed. Affirming how much strength he currently had in his body.

Leo drove very fast towards Valkazar, and with his right hand, Leo immediately used his Enchantment magic. Trying to paralyze him.

'Sreeett!'

Valkazar, who realized that touching Leo's hand was dangerous, immediately avoided it. But Leo managed to land a small scratch.

And just from that thin scratch....

'Bruuukk!'

Valkazar immediately fell to the ground. Facing towards this half of the ruined castle with a limp body.

'Is that right?! Just with such a touch?!' Shouted Valkazar in his heart.

After realizing that his human body was no longer useful, Valkazar immediately used Metamorphic magic to change his own form.

No. gabe....

It was more precisely to take off his human skin and turn into an actual demonic figure.

Now, Valkazar has the appearance of an Archdemon. With a body that is 2.2 meters high and a large and muscular body. Not to forget a horn that appeared on the left side of his forehead.

"Humans.... You're really amazing for being able to force me to the true form of Valkazar." Valkazar praised Leo.

But he didn't mean to fight Leo. Except to run as far away as possible.

Flapping his Devil wings, Valkazar immediately flew out of this castle. Heading into the red void with thousands of runes surrounding this dimensional space.

"You think you can escape?"

With that sentence, Leo shot back. Stripped his feet to the ground and smashed everything behind him.

Leo's speed far surpassed Valkazar's, where Leo could catch up to him in just seconds. Just like before, with the right hand trying to touch Valkazar.

'Stamp!'

Unlike the previous one, this time Valkazar could not dodge completely. And get a big pat from Leo.

The consequences?

'Deg!!!'

His heart stopped for a moment. Valkazar can no longer move. His whole body is paralyzed.

In reality, it is not just his heart. But the touch of Leo's hand gives the effect of stopping the whole movement in his target. In other words, turn them into inanimate objects.

All of that was thanks to the almost infinite existence of Mana for Leo.

But even with such strength, Leo drained almost 20% of his strength in just one touch. Clarifying how powerful and terrifying Valkazar's figure was because it required such a huge Mana in order to activate this Enchantment magic on him.

It's just....

'Kreettaakk! Kreta!!'kk!!!'

Valkazar's body, which had been completely petrified, now moved again. And this time, it has a bigger shape. With a size of 3.5 meters more and two horns on his head.

With a powerful punch, Valkazar throws Leo to the edge of this dimensional space. Hit the wall of this dimension until slightly cracked it.

"There's no turning back. I think I'm going to force it to destroy with your body!" Shouted Valkazar now with that enormous and terrifying demon body.

He knew that his strength alone could not crack the walls of this dimension.

But what about Leo as his spear? With such a strong body and filled with great Mana energy, Valkazar knew that Leo could be a good spear to destroy this dimensional wall.

'Swuusshh!'

Quickly, Valkazar drove towards Leo who was still bumping against the dimensional wall. Realizing that, Leo immediately dodged and attempted to touch her once again.

Different from before....

'Swuusshh! Braaakk!!'

Valkazar was able to dodge very quickly and countered with a kick that threw Leo thousands of meters away. Until it reaches the end or the dimensional wall on the other side.

'Braaakkk! Kreettaaakk!'

Just like before, the impact of Leo's body onto the wall of this dimension caused a considerable rift. Even so, his body was fine because of this blessing from Mana protecting him.

'Damn it! Is this the true form of Valkazar?!' Shouted Leo in his heart while looking at the shape of the Devil in the distance.

And in just an instant, Valkazar had been right in front of Leo. Trying to hit him back.

This time, Leo did not avoid it. Rather receiving that punch with his palm.

'Braaakkkkk! Kreta!'kk!!'

Leo's right hand was completely crushed and could no longer be moved. But atleast....

'Degg!!'

Once again, Valkazar's entire body was stopped by the touch of Leo's hand. Heart included.

Valkazar falls down with Leo still trying to heal his arm.

It's just....

'Grroooaaaaayarrr!!!'

A very loud shout, as well as an enormous evil aura immediately threw Leo hundreds of meters away.

And Valkazar.... Again change in form.

Now....

It might be the figure of a Demon King that fits the shadows of many people.

Its body reaches a height of over 9 meters with a giant body as well as 6 pairs of wings. On its head, there are 4 large black horns.

While he himself has 4 very large and strong arms and 2 legs and a tail in the form of a giant snake.

"Groooaaarrr!!!"

Unlike the previous one, this time it seems that Valkazar has lost his wits. And completely surrender his fate to his mere instincts.

With a speed that even far surpassed Leo himself, Valkazar approached and dealt a crushing blow right at Leo's body.

Along with that....

'Yaharrrr!!!'

The walls of this dimension were smashed into pieces. Freeing Leo along with the Demon King Valkazar who had lost his mind.

"Groooaaarrr!!!"

His loud screams echoed throughout the world. It instills such terrible fear. Even to the Demon race itself as they were all always connected to Valkazar.

But nevertheless....

'Tickk.... Tats...."

Blood seemed to flow quite a lot from Leo's right hand which had been completely severed. As well as the lower half of his body that had been smashed.

Leo also fell from the sky with a consciousness that was almost noiseless.

At that moment it was....

He felt a sensation that made him feel nostalgic. An Elf with beautiful silver hair as well as a charming look caught him in the air.

With his gaze so blurred and his consciousness having almost disappeared completely, Leo could only utter a single word.

"Selene.... You're still alive...." Said Leo while closing his right eye in a happy cry. She was grateful to see Selene again, for the last time.

"That's right. I'm still alive." Reply Narla who is currently holding Leo's body with her left hand. His right hand had been cut off while fighting the figure of the Orc before.

"Thank you.... Goddesses.... You're still kind to me...." Said Leo while trying to reach Selene's face with both hands that had been cut off.

But Narla has only one question. Even if it destroys the happiness that Leo is feeling.

"Tell me what I need to do so we can kill him. Do you still have the power?" Narla asked while looking at the figure of the Demon King Valkazar who had fully risen it was raging all around.

Valkazar is seen releasing large-scale magic. Burn and destroy anything nearby. Even if it is a devil.

One of his magic ball throws even blew up half of the entire army led by Verthis. Where the other 2 magic ball throws hollowed out the demon continent quite a large. Formed a giant lake in the former attack.

Destroying the heavily populated Demon Capital.

One of the two magic balls....

Landed right around North Eastfort. Right in front of the human army.

Just a little. Their distance with the explosion was only 100 meters. Even so, hundreds of thousands of troops were thrown far back. Including Feris, Reina, and other heroes.

"For the gods.... What the fuck?!" Shouted one of the Knights who saw the traces of destruction. Where the depth seems higher than a mountain.

A large part of the Eastfort fort collapsed due to the attack of this magic ball.

Unsatisfied up there, Valkazar focused his magic energy before his four hands and pointed it right at Astraknol. Where the Dwarves live.

A gigantic magic ball shot towards Astraknol and destroyed half of the large island that the Dwarf inhabited. Killed at least 5 million more people.

The rest of the magic ball explosion created a rain of fireballs in numbers that reached millions more. Each fireball has a size of up to 3 meters and hit anything around it. Without regard to race.

In just a brief rampage Valkazar, which was not even 1 minute, the world experienced the biggest crisis in history. Even since the birth of this world.

The total death toll reached more than 50 million. About 40% more people than the world. Where other effects of large-scale magic attacks are still going on for hundreds of years.

That is hunger due to the destruction of most of the agricultural land and also forests in this world. Including oceans, rivers, and lakes.

"Broadcast.... I'm her.... As long as my body can touch it.... I could kill him...." Leo said to Selene. Or at least, that's what Leo had in mind for assuming that the Narla before him was Selene.

Hearing the request that could be said to be impossible, Narla immediately agreed.

"With immediate." Narla's reply was brief.

He rushed to run while hugging the body of Leo who continued to pour blood with his left hand. Approaching the figure of the Demon King Valkazar who still continued to fire other magic balls into this world.

Realizing the presence of Leo and Narla, Valkazar creates 10 magic circles that shoot hundreds of magic arrows of various elements in their direction.

'Syyuttt! Blaakk! Kraakk!'

Narla tried her hardest to avoid it. But he was completely incapable when confronted by hundreds of arrows simultaneously. What's more....

"A little more.... Just a little more." Narla said as she continued to protect Leo's figure in her arms.

Until finally....

'Bab!!!'

3 Arrows are stuck right around Narla's neck. He immediately threw Leo as far away as possible.

"I'll take you.... Whatever happens...." Narla said, immediately using wind magic to push Leo's body, which had been covered in wounds, towards the raging Valkazar.

But not anymore.

Narla was no longer able to hold back her consciousness that had begun to disappear.

Hence.....

He ends up using the suicide magic taught by Leo.

Narla placed her left hand right in front of her chest while chanting her magic spell. Soon after, an explosion of blue flames was created.

Not to kill the Demon King Valkazar who now looks so impossible to defeat it.

Rather to push Leo's body as far as possible to get close to the Demon King.

"The rest.... I leave it to you, Leo." Narla said as she breathed her last breath.

...'DUAAARRRRR!!!...

A huge explosion with blue flames appeared, simultaneously pushing Leo's body away. Approaching the figure of the Demon King.

But less is less. He was only 1 meter away to be able to touch it with his body at the foot of Valkazar.

It's just....

How to move without any limbs at all?

Both of his arms disappeared. The lower part of his body had been completely destroyed. There's nothing left.

Leo, with his consciousness almost gone, and the power of Egalathia beginning to fade, felt that all this was over. He felt that he had ruined everything.

After all, the odds are one to fifty.

Who can win it?

When Leo almost closed his eyes in despair....

"My lord.... Fight."

The whisper of a voice so soft and melodious as if entering his ears. The voice He knew and missed so much. Including that call.

"Selene.... I'll see you soon...." Said Leo who immediately regained his consciousness.

Now, with all of Leo's strength weakened, Valkazar began to shift his gaze. With Valkazar relying only on his instincts, he no longer noticed Leo who had just been hit by the big explosion.

And now....

Leo crawled with his chin. Moving slowly trying to get close to Valkazar.

With each movement, Selene's beautiful voice continued to sound in her ears. Trying to encourage him.

Until finally....

'Stamp!'

Leo managed to touch Valkazar's feet with his forehead. And along with that too, Leo shouted as loudly as possible.

"Inchantment!!!"

...'DEGGG!!!'...

Using the rest of Egalathia's power, Leo unleashed his last magic on this world.

Stop the whole movement from Valkazar. Starting from his breathing, his destructive magic, his hands, to his heart. In one simple touch.

And in the end....

This time for the last time....

Valkazar keeps sculpting. Slowly, his body began to crumble and disintegrate. And in the end, it turned into ashes. Fly with the wind that moves along with the wishes of this world.

Including also....

Leo who had breathed his last moment after unleashing his magic.

To save the world with many sacrifices in it.

Is this a good choice? Leo did not know the answer. What does He know....

It's just a reality. That Selene had been waiting for him there.

For the rest of the problems in this world?

Leo hoped someone else could take care of him. Least....

After he had resolved the source of the greatest problem in this world. Valkazar. And fulfill her duty as a hero sent by Goddess Cyrese.

...- Epilogue Part 1 -...

"Law.... Where's me?" Ask Leo to himself.

What was around him was a sight he had seen before. It is a vast ocean without end. But now, with the bright sunlight and the beautiful blue sky.

At the end of his view, there was a figure of Goddess Cyrese who was running towards Leo. He quickly hugged the figure of Leo who was still sitting on the wooden chair while shouting.

"Dimas! You succeeded! From the beginning I always believed in you! You really did it!" Shouted Goddess Cyrese so happily.

Beside him, the figure of Goddess Silvie was seen waving her hand while smiling kindly towards Leo.

"I.... That work?" Ask Leo.

"of course! You killed Valkazar! Now, the world has survived its greatest threat! The world ranking dropped from the SS to level B. Where the rest of the existing Heroes can handle it easily!

But just in case, I have sent 10 new heroes! Sure was! I've earned a huge reward for you!" Shouted Goddess Cyrese so hysterically.

Leo who heard it remembered. That all this, is only the plan of Goddess Cyrese to obtain a big point in saving the world of SS Egalathia.

"Haha.... Thank goodness for you. Now let me die in peace." Reply Leo briefly.

The response of the two Goddesses was of course surprised. How not?

"Dead? Why that?" Ask Goddess Cyrese.

"Of course, because I'm dead, right?"

Goddess Cyrese then looked towards Goddess Silvie for a moment before returning to speak.

"We both decided. You could have 99% of that point. But not in actual numbers. Except...."

Stopping his words, Goddess Cyrese then brought her lips closer to Leo's right ear. Trying to whisper something to him.

"Lifting you up as one of the Gods in this world. You interested? You can resurrect that Selene you love with a certain amount of points and bring her to this heavenly world, you know?"

Hearing that, Leo immediately stood up from his chair in a surprised manner.

Without hesitation, Leo immediately asked.

"Was.... In seriously? How many?" Ask Leo.

"of course. You can even bring others here with a sufficient number of points. Although, they would only be ordinary residents and have no authority as Gods. But isn't that interesting enough? As for the price...."

Goddess Cyrese then opened her 3 fingers with a wide smile.

"Not so expensive, right? How's it?" Ask Goddess Cyrese once again.

Now, with his body fully restored, and his soul intact, Leo for the first time, looked at the figure of Goddess Cyrese with great respect.

While bowing his head, Leo also replied.

"Please guide her."
