The Hero Took Everything from Me, So I Partied with the Hero’s Mother! Chapter 237

Chapter 237

Current Dhamar Kingdom's King's POV

What happened...? The God Dragon Ceres-sama should had brought peace to the world for hundreds of years.

The world should have remained peaceful regardless of the race, with only minor scuffles occurring.

However, what is this?

Even after listening to the story, I couldn't believe it.

Before this, the legendary great sage, l, appeared at the Royal Academy and accused them of corruption, causing the academy to disappear entirely from this world.

That alone was a nightmare, but now...

"The immortal king Skull King and an army of tens of thousands of undead are advancing toward us."

"What kind of joke is that?"

"It's not a joke... Apparently, the demon king Luciferd is behind them."

Is this the end of our country?

Is in my ti the Kingdom of Dhamar will end?

The four professions no longer be born into this world because this world is at peace... Except for the sage called l.

She is the only one who may be able to do sothing about this situation as she is known as 'the strongest in humanity', but she accused the Royal Academy of corruption and blew it away before leaving.

She can't help us.

Even if there were any other professions, the lack of their existence suggests that we probably won't be able to defeat the demon king army.

There are no ans of resistance.

Surrender seems to be the only option... Or maybe...

"we can pray to Goddess Istash and ask the priest for help."

"That seems... to be useless too."

"What do you an!?"

"I will convey it as it is. The Goddess said, 'The fault of this incident lies with the Kingdom... Therefore, I will not give any assistance.'"

It's over... Our only option is complete surrender.

At worst, I may have to sacrifice my life to ensure the safety of our citizens.

Immortal King, Skull King's POV

"We have co to negotiate... if you don't obstruct our march, you won't face any harm... but if you do, we'll attack without delay... and you'll learn how terrifying our undead army can be... So, open the path and the gateeee!"

It's unthinkable to degrade the son of the great Ceres-sama, the Great Demon King.

He treated , the Skull King, as if I was one of his own and called 'Grandpa'.

But now, his smile has clouded over.

To be honest, killing them all would be too rciful, but the rciful Ceres-sama doesn't want that and neither does Serena.

This level of threat should suffice...

"Why... haven't the demon race and the human race been getting along until now?"

Is he a mber of the royal family or sothing?

Perfect timing...

"We haven't co to cause trouble... my acquaintance, Demon King Lucifer-sama and I recomnded soone to enroll in the Royal Academy... and we wrote a recomndation letter... the Demon King-sama and I, as well as the great sage l, vouched for him... so we ca to ask why he was rejected... there doesn't seem to have been any injustice involved, does there?"

"...Is that all there is to it? And you sent an army of undead just for that?"

Let's scare them a bit...

"That's all there is to it... that person is a 'Beloved Child of the Goddess'... even with his current abilities, he already possesses Hero-level power that will go down in history... and if he grows stronger, he could beco a bridge between the demon race, dragon race, and even the goddess. Yet he wasn't accepted into the academy! It's too absurd! We ca to ask for the reason... that's all there is to it... of course, if there's evidence that proves us wrong, we'll turn back! Whether the king cos here or we march to the palace is of no consequence."

"I-I'll inform the king imdiately... please wait a mont..."

It's pointless to say anything more to him.

Current Dhamar Kingdom's King's POV

"Is this... the cause?" King growled, his voice laced with frustration.

"Yeah, it was shining while everything else has vanished." His subordinate replied, his tone edged with worry.

"I'm sorry..." Principal sighed, her voice heavy with regret and sadness.

"I really didn't think it was real..." the chairman stamred, his voice trembling with fear and disbelief.

The principal and the chairman are apologizing, but it's too late.

It is certainly a strange application form, but instead of the demon king or the immortal king, we should have asked l-sama.

No, it's no use blaming her now...

I an, who would believe that this is genuine based on this application?

It's ridiculous that l-sama, who has never taken on an apprentice before, would beco a guarantor.

It's cruel to bla the person responsible.

"My king, the opponent is the demon king... Through the Holy Kingdom, we should ask the goddess Ishtas..."

"It was useless. Before we could contact the Holy Kingdom, the goddess herself appeared in the Central Church and said that she wouldn't help us because it was our fault. That's what we were told."

"Is that true?"

"Yeah, that's not all. She also appeared to the Pope and told him the Kingdom must not be forgiven. The Holy Kingdom sent a ssage saying they would close their borders if we don't settle this issue properly."

"Is Serena a person of that caliber?"

"When a nobleman who is close to l-sama asked her, she said, 'That child is amazing! He can fight seriously for two hours... although he was still a child at this ti. And because of that, he got tired and fell asleep... His sleeping face was also amazing...' That's what he said."

"Two hours against a serious great sage..."

"Not only that... but they say he can use it..."

"What do you an?"

"I heard from the adventurer's guild that he used the skill 'Slashing Iron (Zantetsu)', which only the Sword Saint should be able to use."

"Isn't that a really bad thing?"

"Yes, it is... The four jobs (Hero, Saint, Sword Saint, Great Sage) will never appear again in this world... l-sama is the last Great Sage... If there is soone who can use the Sword Saint's skill..."

"What do you an?"

"According to the theological scholars of the church, it could be the 'Beloved Child of the Goddess'."

"Beloved Child?"

"Sotis people other than the four jobs are born, loved by the goddess and possessing many talents. They are called the 'Beloved Child of the Goddess' and are said to bear so kind of mission..."

"What do you an?"

"For example, in the distant past, when an epidemic was prevalent in this country and many people died, a great healer appeared and treated them. In the Empire, there was a hospital called 'Miracle Treatnt Institute', which healed illnesses and injuries that even the Saint couldn't heal... In any case, they saved the country from a crisis."

"That ans that the academy expelled the person who could potentially save this country from a crisis... that kind of thing?"

"It's just a hypothesis, but... it's not entirely untrue."

"That's..."

After that, towards one of the four heavenly kings, Skull King and the Demon King Luciferd who had co to the gate of the capital city...

I gathered all the royal and aristocratic families in the city and prostrated ourselves before them.

There was no way we could defeat the army of the dead that surrounded the capital.

And even if we were to miraculously defeat them, the Demon King would still be there.

He would end up killing us all.

"Enough...it's fine," the Demon King grumbled, his voice low and nacing.

When I heard these words, tears stread down my face.

'We're saved,' I thought, relief swelling within .

"What a foolish man...if only you had taken Serena in, you wouldn't be so afraid of all this..." the Demon King mused, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

"..." I remained silent, unsure of how to respond.

"Well, if it's Serena, he can defeat these undead creatures with ease..." the Skull King chid in, his voice cracking with amusent.

"How nostalgic...beating 50,000 undead creatures with just one blow..." the Demon King reminisced, his voice wistful.

"And without hurting them too. I can't believe it," the Skull King added, his voice filled with wonder.

"Uh, who is Serena—Serena-sama?" I asked, my curiosity piqued.

"I forgive you for rejecting him, but I won't tell you anything. You have insulted the Demon King's dignity, so it's only natural," the Demon King spat, his voice cold and unforgiving.

"I won't tell you either, but it's possible that in a year's ti. After all, Serena will beco stronger than l. Hahaha!" the Skull King cackled, his voice ringing with amusent.

As they spoke, the Demon King and his entourage departed.

Our lives were spared.

However...Serena-sama is probably the beloved child of a goddess...

And now that we've rejected him away, I, as a king, can't help but feel uneasy.
