The death of the hero Raul

Hearing the news that Saint Christiana was executed, Theodor made her way to a hill outside the royal capital. That hill is an unusually dreadful place where the hero Raul “exhibits” the corpses and remains of the people who he took vengeance on.

(If the saint died, then he will definitely appear in this place… ..)

Theodor had been waiting for this moment ever since she secretly entered the royal capital half a month ago. Following the destruction of the slave facility, Theodor, who left with the demons, did her best to revive the demon race without giving up her revenge against Raul.

(Come on, come at once, hero. This time I’ll make sure to stop your breath)

However, this time is different than when i got carried away by my emotions. I had a chance this time. Theodor looked at the trump card lurking on the other side of the hill, and a slight smile appeared on her mouth.

After several hours waiting for Raul, had appeared as expected. Theodor saw a charred body on his back and frowned secretly.

(His bad taste doesn’t change)

Raul was humming a song while arranging his display. Now was the time.

Theodor took out a hand mirror and reflected the light and sent a bright signal over the hill. Immediately afterwards, a buzzing of the wind was heard and an arrow pierced Raul’s back which was full of openings. Holy water created by the magic of light was coated on the tip of the arrow. Holy water is a deadly poison for those who have been swallowed and devoured in the power of darkness.

[W-What… ..?]

Raul bent down lazily and collapsed in that place while muttering in a soft voice.

(As I thought, it did have an effect… ..!)

Theodor restrained the urge to shout for joy and ran to Raul. But, it wasn’t over yet. She still couldn’t rejoice. Her only wish is to see the moment when this man’s life completely disappears.

Raul remained on the ground like a corpse.

[I’m surprised that i defeated him so easily]

It was too good to be true that she managed to defeat this powerful man so easily.

[You let your guard down, hero! Not only your fingers, but you can’t even move your eyes, right?]

She told Raul while he was convulsing.

[I saw that you only used dark magic all the time, so I thought that would be a possibility. As I thought, your body being consumed by the power of darkness makes you weak before the magic of light]

She grabbed him by the chest and lifted him up hard, noting that Raul’s eyes were cloudy and his purple lips were trembling.

[Hahaha! What’s up, hero? How pathetic! It was a good idea to put you to sleep. So I don’t have to listen to your stupid things]

She violently released Raul and stepped on his back when he fell. Still, Raul couldn’t resist, so he just received it.

She finally got it. The body and life of her hated enemy are on her hands. As soon as she realized that, a great emotion emerged from Theodor’s heart.

[I can finally kill you… ..!]

Finally the moment had come. On the other hand, various factors have caused Theodor to go missing. One is the fact that Raul helped her free the slaves. The other is the concern is that if she could really do something to manage to kill Raul. Even so, she had no choice but to move forward.

[You said it yourself that because you received the blessings of the gods you can’t die in a normal way right? That is why I investigated the way that would lead you to death. I will use the method that Princess Victoria used when she killed you]

The man who shot the arrow was paid in advance, and told he could leave when the job was done. Therefore, the work from now on will be done by her.

It was a difficult work to put a cross on the hill and crucify Raul. But, this was her revenge. It wouldn’t make sense if she didn’t do it alone.

[Now time to attract some beasts with the scent of blood to devour you]

She grabbed a dagger that she pulled from her chest. She had repeatedly failed to attempt to take Raul’s life with this dagger.

[This has also received a blessing from light magic. I’m sure it will hurt you a lot]

This dagger with holy power is a terrifying thing for a demon like Theodor. The mage who lent him his power warned him “Being a demon, just holding this dagger endangers your life.” However, ironically, Theodor despite having royal family blood, was very weak in the power of darkness. The greater the power of darkness, the greater the damage from light magic. That also applied to the other way around. Unlike Raul who was immobilized at the time the arrow was shot, Theodor was able to grasp the dagger while feeling pain in the palm of her hand.

[It’s very ironic. I am a failure as a demon. There was only one magic i could learn. However, it is for that reason that I can kill you with this dagger]

She feels like the palm of her hand holding the dagger is tearing apart. Still, not caring about that, Theodor held the handle tight.

[I’ve always been dreaming of my sister since that day when you walked into the castle and took everything. In my dream my sister continues to suffer. I want to carry out this revenge so that she can finally rest in peace… ..]

That’s how it is. There was no time to hesitate.

[When you attacked the castle, you were saying that humans were good and demons were bad, right?]

Theodor look Raul in the eyes and then stabbed him into chest with the dagger. The sound of meat crunching rang out, it was a solid response. But it was not enough.

[You were wrong. You should have known if you were taking revenge on true evil, right?]

She stabbed Raul’s body over and over as she asked him. Raul didn’t even cry out in pain, he just looked at Theodor.

[My sister only protected the country and its people! Everyone just wanted to live normally!]

She began to say things that even she no longer understood. Se screamed as she stabbed the hero’s flesh dozens of times. With each stab, blood splattered and unpleasant sounds rose at him. Even if the stomach opened and the internal organs popped out, Theodor didn’t stop as if possessed.

[Haa… ..Haa… ..]

Now the beasts should come. Immediately the crows came and began to eat Raul’s intestines. Despite the fact that his entire body was covered in blood and his intestines had been removed, Raul was still alive and breathing painfully. From here on, it will surely be necessary to wait five days for you to reach your pathetic end.

[I will watch you until you die]

Theodor declared that without taking her eyes off Raul.

***

—– Five days have passed since then. Theodor stood up in amazement, watching as Raul’s eyeballs stopped.

She always wanted this man’s death. Although that wish finally came true, why did a single thought sprout in her heart?

She assumed that her revenge had been achieved with the death of Raul.

[Why…..?]

Even if she asked, no one could answer her. Raul’s corpse just hung there, and his soul has traveled far from Theodor’s reach.

When she took revenge on Allingham on behalf of the Charles family, she had that feeling of excitement, but why doesn’t she have the feeling of satisfaction in killings him?

She didn’t think of leaving this place. Because what face should I make while feeling like this? She had believed that by killing the hero and achieving her revenge she would be freed from all suffering. The shadows covering Theodor’s heart still remained fixed, nothing has changed before or after the hero’s death. In that case, for what reason did i killed him? The lost feelings, the suffering, everything remained the same. Even though she no longer has anyone else to kill. Theodor then collapsed in that place.

For the first time she knew there was more darkness waiting for her beyond revenge. Ironically, this suffering was something she couldn’t understand without revenge—–
