I stepped away from the Demon King and inspected the Sacred Sword.
“What a relief… there’s no damage at all.”
This Sacred Sword is connected to me.
The term “Hero” actually refers to the “Person Compatible with the Sacred Sword.”
If I am injured, the Sacred Sword will also be damaged, and vice versa.
I thought that if I suffered severe injuries to the point of death, the Sacred Sword would also suffer corresponding damage, but apparently, it doesn’t have a single chip.
“Alright, come with me for training.”
The blade of the Sacred Sword shone in response to my call.
“Haah…”
I exhaled deeply and raised the Sacred Sword.
I brought it down straight.
*Crash*
Along with the sound of cutting the wind, a large crack formed in the ground.
“This is…”
I held my breath.
What I just did was not an attack skill.
Simply with that cut, I broke the earth just with the pressure of the sword.
It had abnormal strength.
Well, even if I used an attack skill, could I achieve this…?
Anyway, my physical abilities were abnormally heightened.
“What is happening here…?”
My body, what on earth…?
“Your agility seems to have improved considerably. Aren’t you more agile than when we fought?”
I heard a surprised voice from behind.
It was the Demon King.
“Oh, I didn’t come to supervise. I thought of taking a break and having coffee. I also have tea.”
“Oh, thank you for the offer.”
“I apologize for interrupting.”
“No, I was just thinking of taking a break.”
Until recently, I couldn’t even imagine the Demon King apologizing so sincerely to me.
In the first place, having a casual conversation with the Demon King… It’s really a strange feeling.
“Can I ask you something?”
I jokingly asked.
“Hmm, what’s up? If it’s something I can help with, I’ll listen.”
“Actually… my body feels a bit strange, Demon King.”
“Strange? Was there an issue with my healing?”
The Demon King looked at me with concern, seeming nervous.
“What’s wrong? You don’t need to get so anxious.”
I involuntarily smiled ironically.
“No, I’m still worried…”
“Demon King…?”
“Vila is fine.”
“Eh?”
“Always being called ‘Demon King’ is too pompous. I don’t like it much…”
She murmured to herself with a shy smile, so charming that she didn’t seem at all like the archenemy, the Demon King.
Unexpectedly, I felt nervous.
Why am I so nervous with the Demon King…?
Certainly, she is quite attractive at first glance.
“So… Vila.”
“Eek!”
The Demon King… no, Vila, blushed intensely.
“W-w-what…!”
“What’s wrong?”
“I-it’s just that, you are the first man to call me by a nickname…”
“Eh?”
“I-I-It’s much more embarrassing than I imagined… a hundred million times more shameful…”
“You’re more like a maiden than I expected…”
“Aaah, Demon King’s Inferno Flame!”
The Demon King suddenly unleashed a huge fireball.
*Boom*
… A large crater formed in the ground.
