Vol 5: Chapter 17: Epilogue
The Holy Knight's Peaceful and Twisted Life
Epilogue
A month has passed since the date with Aleph, and the day has finally come to attack the Demon Castle.
In addition to the four members of the Salvation party, 30 members of the Kingdom Knights joined the party.
The fate of the world rests on a total of 34 people.
In reality, Nathel, the strongest Holy Knight in the royal capital, was supposed to be among them.
That never came to fruition, as he was brutally murdered by someone.
The king desperately ordered an investigation to find out who had killed the kingdom's most powerful holy knight, but nothing came of it. Rumor has it that a spy from the Demon King's army had infiltrated the royal capital and killed the holy knight, a valuable fighting force.
The soldiers were worried about their future, but when Aleph, the hero of salvation, declared, "The saint and the hero will surely defeat the demon king and restore peace to the world!", morale rose again and the situation was somehow resolved.
The Demon Castle is located not far from the royal capital.
About a week after they began their advance, Chris and the others were already within visual range of the Demon Castle.
"We will now enter the Demon King's castle. This will be the final battle."
Everyone listened intently to Saint Christina's words.
They know this battle will be incredibly fierce.
"...The Demon King's strength is unknown. It's possible that everyone here will die. But even so! If we don't do it, peace will never come to the people! So everyone! I need your help!"
At those words, the soldiers of the Kingdom Knights erupted in cheers of "Oooooh!!"
Everyone here has already prepared themselves for death.
However, when Chris, the Saint, says it, it really boosts morale.
"Everyone here is a hero, a brave warrior! Let's show the Demon King the resolve and conviction of humanity! Come on, let's go!"
Chris, with a dignified look on her face, points to the Demon Castle.
The soldiers of the Royal Knights were filled with excitement and energy.
Aria is touched by Chris's determination.
Reno's eyes are wide and she just stares at Chris.
And Aleph is fired up for a future love with Chris.
Thirty-four heroes gather in front of the gates of the Demon Castle.
The final battle with the Demon King has begun.
