'This is the final battle, everything has been building up to this, all the sufferings and pain I- we've endured... it all comes down to this, we must not fail' I pumped myself as I look at the demon king's castle

"You guys ready?" I asked all of my teammates

"Yeah! we're good to go!" Aurora smiled confidently

Aurora, she's a female who has a red hair that reaches up to the nape of her neck, 5.7 feet high and wields a large hammer twice her size. Her hammer is enchanted with a holy attribute which is very effective against demons, she was also given the title 'Thoress'

"Count on me to heal you guys!" Ria smiled majestically

Ria, she's our team's healer. She's a high priestess in the religion of life, she has silky blond hair with a beautiful aqua blue eyes. One more thing she's my lover. She wields a staff that was soaked in holy water for 500 years, the same day as when the first human-demon war ended. That very staff was soaked in order to be used in the next war which is now.

"Y-Yes, I-I will d-do my b-best" William meekly spoke out as he tightly gripped his staff

William, he is our mage, though meek and shy, he knows spells long lost which is a huge aid to us because magic is very scarce during this period of time. Out of 1000 children, only 5 are given a mana organ. The mana organ is an extra organ found directly underneath the heart, mana is something that the mages use in order to cast various spells that wreak havoc on their enemies

"Alright, Let's go!" I pumped everyone up and wore my helm

I was the leader of our party, the suicide party. It was called suicide party because we were sent here as the last hope in defeating the demon king while most of his troops are busy fighting the largest Kingdom, Argon. We were considered heroes but we were sent here like some disposable soldiers but what choice did they have? we were outnumbered 10 to 1 and our chances of winning are slowly slipping out of our hands as time passes by. All four Kingdoms have already worked together and yet we are still losing so when they saw the opportunity, they sent us here.

We cannot fail, there are people fighting with their lives on the line, if we kill the demon king here then all future sufferings will end. I will- We will succeed.

We easily broke through the front gate and exterminated most of the demonic knights guarding the mansion, most of them were pretty weak which led me to think that this is a trap but we can't back down now.

We kept killing until we finally reached a large door, this is it. The demon king is just behind this door

"...Guys, I just want to say... it's been fun being with you" Aurora looked at everyone with tears forming in her eyes

"Hey, you're always so energetic! why be down now?" I smiled as I rubbed her head

To be honest I'm quite scared too but I can not let it show

"Yeah, we will make it through this... all of us" Ria helped in comforting Aurora, she also gripped my hands tight. Seems like she's pretty scared too

"Come here" I pulled her close and hugged her

"What are you doing?!" Ria protested

"I'm giving you strength" I smiled and let go of her

"Jeez, you're always like this..." She was angry but she can't hide the smile on her face

"I've never really changed since we were kids" I smiled and gave her a thumbs up

"15 years... ever since the first time we met when we were 6-year-olds" Ria also smiled and reminisced the past

"That will have to wait, let's finish this war and go home" I want peace, I'm tired. I've already lost countless friends in this war

"Yes" Ria nodded her head

"Everyone ready?" I asked as I wore my helm

Everyone only nodded their heads

I opened the door and saw the demon king on his throne while his wife the demon queen stood beside him

"Welcome low lives" He arrogantly greeted us

"Naz al ghul, you will die today!" I replied

"Ha! last time you said that, two of your friends lost their heads!" He laughed in his chair

"Come on, just stop this and come with me... let's leave this place together and settle in a peaceful house somewhere no one will find us" Naz al ghul's wife, Arc, spoke to me

"Thanks for the offer Arc but no" I already have Ria

"You bitch! why do you continue to pursue this lowly man!" Naz angrily roared out

"First of all, you kidnapped me and second of all, I don't love you. It's him that I love" Arc pointed at me

"Tch, no matter, once I kill these pests, I can finally mate with you and create offsprings!" Naz smiled

"I'd rather kill myself before it happens!" Arc protested

"Go to the side!" Naz waved his hands and the chains around arc glowed purple before attaching themselves to the cuffs on her wrists and legs

Arc got pulled into the darkness away from our sights

"Now that she's gone, why don't we see which of us lives" Naz jumped off his throne and landed in front of us

"I'll hold him off while you guys damage him, same old same old. He's just a demon king, he also breathes and bleeds" I spoke out before running towards Naz with my Holy sword on the right and the Mirror shield on my left

I raised my sword and swung it down on his head but he only raised his right arm before a dark sword appeared out of nowhere and blocked my attack, I thought the demon king would be a mage

"Oh? surprised are we? perhaps you're thinking why I am wielding a sword? let me answer that, I am both a mage and a warrior!" He laughed as he grabbed empty air with his left hand

I thought his actions were meaningless but I soon found out that multiple dark tentacles have coiled around my foot, rendering me immobile.

"Now DIE!" He opened up his palm in front of me as a dark orb formed and blasted towards me

I can't move my feet so I lowered my posture and held my shield in front of me, the attack came and I felt like my left arm was in an oven. It was painful and hot, his attack finally ended. The shield let out smoke but it wasn't damaged in any way. I again ran forward and attacked him, he was about to block with his dark sword again but Aurora suddenly appeared behind him and smashed her large hammer on his back

Naz flew up to where William shot his attack, a barrage of fireballs. All of the fireballs were the size of a small pebble but their speed was quite terrifying, they created small holes through the demon king.

"That hurt you pest!" Naz roared out as a dark sphere protected him from the small fireballs

Naz quickly came crashing down towards William but I managed to tackle William just in time and saved him from Naz's attack, I managed to raise my shield just as Naz was about to hit me. His attacks were blocked but the force caused me to hit the ground hard, I could already taste blood in my mouth.

Our fight kept going on for 10 minutes before all of us were exhausted, my armor was now in chips and I only wore my pants, my left arm turned completely blue after taking on so much of Naz's attack while my right arm was cramping in pain

William and Ria were quite fine while Aurora only had some of her armor broken down.

Naz was in no better shape than me, he had wounds all over his body while the fancy clothes he wore were torn to shreds. One of his bat wings was already ripped apart by me while one of his eyeballs was destroyed by Ria's judgment light, it was Ria's ultimate spell wherein she harnesses the power of the sun and concentrates that power in a single spot. After that, the sun unleashes a concentrated power on that spot and destroys everything within

"You've meddled for far too long!" The King roared out before he created a sphere that only covered himself

'He must be casting something! I must disrupt him!' I thought before running in the sphere before it closes

I managed to get in and when I looked outside, everyone was down on the ground

"What did you do?" I asked Naz with a tone filled with anger

"I just knocked them out" He smiled

"Tch, let's get this over with" I ran forward and started a sword fight with Naz, his sword of darkness against my holy sword

'For the last time, even if I have to burn my own life force, I will use it!' I roared out in my mind before activating a skill I inherited

For warriors like me who doesn't have a mana organ, the only way to match a mage is through skills but these skills are just as rare as the mage. The only way to receive a skill is through inheritance and blessings, Ria received blessings which is why she can use healing skills.

My skill that inherited was from the Hydra, 6 dragon heads appeared behind my back and started flying towards Naz

All of my dragons bit him and kept him in place which allowed me to send a finishing blow, the sphere faded as I supported myself with my sword.

"IT'S OVER!" I shouted out in joy but

I felt a pain in my chest

It was the sword of darkness but how?

The demon king is dead, he's in front of me

I struggled to look back but everything turned dark

I fell on the ground and watched blood spill out of my chest

The blood

It's filling up my lungs

It's hard to breathe

It's burning

Aching

Searing

I finally felt numb, will I die? will the pain be finally gone?

NO! I still have to go home!

I still have to lead a happy life with Ria

No! I can't die here

I felt tears roll down my eyes as my vision turned hazy before it faded to black
