The Hero Climaxes in Defeat Again Today

Marianne raised her sword high. A holy light burst from her, spreading like an explosion. As divine power swept across the battlefield, a radiant glow gathered at the tip of her blade, as if banishing the darkness.

 

“Lightââ!!”

 

At that moment, dazzling beams of light poured around Marianne, as if the heavens had opened. Everyone stared in awe at the spectacle.

 

Seizing the moment, I used my soul imprint.

 

The air split, and pure white wings unfurled from the rift. A woman with flowing silver hair and a serene smile emerged.

 

“An… angel…?”

 

Aren’s voice trembled with shock, and even Liette stared at Hayul with wide-eyed astonishment.

 

“No way… A real angel?”

 

I smirked inwardly and sent a telepathic message.

 

‘Hayul, if anything feels off, retreat immediately. Got it?’

 

Hayul nodded slightly in the air, descending slowly with a silver glow surrounding her. Golden particles drifted from her white wings, bathing the battlefield in a sacred aura.

 

“Hero, why have you summoned me?”

 

“Angel! I wish to stop the vile demons and their servant dragon. I want to protect the people and kingdom of Sibern!”

 

Hayul’s wings spread wide. Shimmering fragments of light rained down, enveloping the battlefield in a holy radiance.

 

“Very well. If your will is true, the divine shall stand with you.”

 

Hayul raised one hand, and a silver sigil bloomed from her fingertips. The holy symbol became a stream of light, absorbed into Marianne’s body. Instantly, her sword radiated an even more intense divine glow.

 

-Shiiing!

 

As the brilliance from her blade engulfed the surroundings, knights and nobles fell to their knees one by one.

 

“The angel has blessed the hero!”

 

“The divine is with us!”

 

Cheers and awe echoed through the capital’s streets.

 

Marianne raised her sword overhead.

 

“Lightââ join me in cleaving the darkness!”

 

A clear, holy hymn flowed from Hayul’s lips. The melody, woven with blessings and healing, mended the knights’ wounds, and fallen soldiers rose one by one.

 

“The angel’s miracle!”

 

“The light protects us!”

 

I smirked and shifted my gaze.

 

“Ugh… This lizard’s tougher than I thought!”

 

“Hold it down! Squeeze harder!!”

 

“Sisters, it’s almost time! Get ready!”

 

Amid Nerzaka’s ferocious magic, the three sisters struggled to hold on.

 

‘They’re having a hard time.’

 

At that moment, Hayul’s hymn reached its climax. Golden light gathered between her hands, swiftly forming a sword.

 

-Whoooshââ!!

 

A radiant blade of light appeared in the air, submerging the capital in a golden wave.

 

Hayul flapped her wings, rising into the sky, and shouted in a voice brimming with holy energy.

 

“Humans! Join me in vanquishing the vile demonsââ!”

 

 

Hayul’s cry ignited the battlefield into a frenzy of zeal.

 

“Waaaah! Follow the angel!”

 

“Slay the wicked demons!”

 

The knights and soldiers of the capital roared, their morale soaring.

 

Hayul led the charge. Gripping her sword, she struck an elegant pose in the air before swinging with a brilliant flap of her wingsââ

 

-Shwaaaaang!!

 

A massive crescent-shaped golden slash tore through the air, aiming straight for Nerzaka’s head.

 

“An angel dares…!!”

 

Nerzaka’s golden eyes twisted, and explosive magical energy erupted from its body. Instantly, dozens of layered defensive magic circles appeared around its head.

 

But—

 

“Sis, now!”

 

“Got it!”

 

“Hold tight!!”

 

The three sisters leaped from Nerzaka’s head. Lucy’s blood-red chains tightened again, Sora drove her greatsword between its scales, and Hayoung morphed her slimy arm to cover one of Nerzaka’s eyes, blocking its vision.

 

“You wretches!!”

 

A brief opening.

 

-KABOOM!!

 

Hayul’s golden slash struck Nerzaka’s neck directly.

 

-KABOOM!!

 

Black scales tore, and red blood sprayed like a storm.

 

‘…As expected, a dragon is a dragon. The wound isn’t that deep.’

 

Nerzaka let out a roar that shook the void, trembling the earth.

 

“How dare… How dare! An angel breaks the covenant?! No more oaths, no more mercy—I’ll annihilate you all!!”

 

Its golden eyes turned blood-red, burning with rage.

 

“Sis, something’s wrong!!”

 

“Get away quick!!”

 

The sisters immediately leaped from Nerzaka’s neck, retreating far.

 

At that moment—

 

-RUMBLE…!!

 

Hundreds of massive magic circles unfolded around Nerzaka simultaneously.

 

ãââPerish!!ã

 

-KABOOOOOM!!

 

Blinding light rained from the sky like a deluge. The apocalyptic beams engulfed the capital, turning stone and steel to ash, silencing human screams in an instant.

 

“Aaaaaagh!!”

 

Before such overwhelming destruction, mere humans stood no chance.

 

I narrowed my eyes, grinding my teeth.

 

‘This bastard… dares to ruin the capital I planned to use?’

 

‘You’re the one wrecking it too.’

 

Biyeon’s jab came, but I ignored it and spoke.

 

‘Biyeon, spirit fusion.’

 

Biyeon, who had been cloaking herself and the sisters in a barrier nearby, appeared before me. Without hesitation, she leaped into my embrace.

 

-Shiiing!

 

Her form melted into light, merging with my body.

 

Wind swirled at my feet, lifting me into the sky with a massive gust.

 

“Nerzakaââ!”

 

I shouted its name to draw its attention. But consumed by rage, it ignored me, continuing to bombard the capital.

 

My lips twisted into a grin.

 

“Lizard bastard, I’ll start by plucking out your eyes.”

 

Riding the wind, I shot forward, raising my sword. I infused the blade with fiery sword aura.

 

-Shiiiiing!!

 

Sensing danger, Nerzaka tried to block with magic, but it was too late.

 

-Crack!!

 

My sword pierced its left eye precisely, slicing through the golden orb.

 

“RAAAARGH!!”

 

Nerzaka’s massive body writhed in the sky, thrashing in agony. Blood poured like a waterfall, and its errant magic began devastating the surroundings haphazardly.

 

-Boom! Boom! Boom!

 

Explosions echoed across the capital, but the misaimed attacks minimized the damage.

 

“Ugh, are you okay?!”

 

Hayul flew to my side, wings spread.

 

“Angel, I’m fine. But we need to finish this before it goes fully berserk.”

 

I glanced down. The capital’s knights and soldiers looked up at me with hopeful eyes, especially Queen Bellatris and the princesses.

 

‘The act must go on.’

 

“Nerzaka! How dare a demon like you defile Sibern’s land!”

 

I raised my sword, shouting boldly.

 

“Angel! Join me in slaying this evil dragon!”

 

Hayul nodded, raising her golden sword.

 

“If your will is pure, I shall stand with you.”

 

At that moment, Nerzaka, haing lost one eye, roared with fury.

 

“It hurts… IT HURTS!!!”

 

Dark energy swirled at its maw, preparing a breath attack.

 

‘Tch. No plans to go down quietly, huh?’

 

I sent a telepathic message to my daughters.

 

‘Take Nerzaka away from the capital. Follow my lead.’

 

With that, I launched myself forward.

 

-Crack!!

 

I kicked Nerzaka’s jaw upward. Its massive head snapped back, and I seized the moment, grabbing its neck.

 

“Follow me, lizard.”

 

-Shiiiik!!

 

An explosive gust lifted both me and Nerzaka. It thrashed wildly but couldn’t spread its wings, bound by the wind. I didn’t miss the chance, pummeling its snout with my fist.

 

-BAM!

 

“RAAAARGH!!”

 

Ignoring its cries, I kept beating it, dragging it higher and farther. The capital’s rooftops shrank, and the walls and streets faded into a dusty haze. After a long flight, Sibern’s border came into view.

 

‘Good. Now I can wreck things freely.’

 

A majestic mountain range loomed ahead, its endless snow-capped peaks like a curtain to the world.

 

Then—

 

-Ziiing…!

 

Demonic energy surged from the mountains. Countless demons emerged, their black eyes glinting. A massive magic circle appeared, and a horde wielding spears and swords leaped into the air, charging at me and Nerzaka.

 

With a bored expression, I casually waved my hand.

 

“Get lost.”

 

-Shwaaaak!!

 

Blades of wind infused with inner energy sliced through the demons’ necks, spraying dark red blood. Their severed bodies tumbled down the mountains without a scream.

 

I hurled Nerzaka toward the range with all my strength.

 

-KABOOOOOM!!

 

The snow-covered peaks collapsed with a tremendous crash, and a blizzard raged outward.

 

“Damn lizard… Heavy as hell.”

 

I shook the blood from my wrist. Then, my daughters arrived one by one.

 

“Dad, we’re all here.”

 

“That was more fun than I expected.”

 

“But weren’t we supposed to destroy this place later?”

 

As the sisters landed, each spouting their own comments, Marianne, cradled in Hayul’s silver-winged embrace, touched down.

 

I scanned the mountains, a smirk curling my lips. The writhing demonic presence in the snow, the creatures lurking beneath like parasites—this place was a cesspool of vermin.

 

“Girls.”

 

At my voice, the three sisters’ eyes turned to me.

 

“Clean up everything here. Don’t leave a single one.”

 

Instantly, their lips curved into grins.

 

“Got it, Dad.”

 

“Papa~ You’ll hug me after, right? Not just my pussy, but my asshole too”

 

“Yawn… I just want to finish quick and sleep on Dad’s cock~”

 

“Father.”

 

Hayul spoke cautiously.

 

“What about the one hiding underground?”

 

“Oh, don’t kill the one underground. We need it. And Marianne.”

 

I turned to look at her directly.

 

“You’re still weak, so stay close to the girls.”

 

“Yes, Master.”

 

“Alright, girls. Wipe them all out.”

 

Instantly, the five women scattered, diving toward every trace of demonic energy.

 

Then—

 

-KABOOOOOM!!

 

The entire mountain range shook. From a buried valley, a pitch-black breath attack erupted like an explosion. A massive beam shot straight at me.

 

I instinctively raised my arm, deploying a barrier.

 

-SCREEEEECH!!

 

The beam clashed with the barrier, producing a vicious grinding sound. My vision flickered red, and pressure surged.

 

After a moment, as the beam dissipated, I grinned.

 

“Oh… A slight crack.”

 

The barrier was laced with fractures. As expected, a dragon’s breath was no trifling attack.

 

‘If a newly matured dragon can do this… I’d better avoid messing with the others.’

 

The rubble slowly collapsed, revealing Nerzaka, its aura far more ferocious than before. Its black scales gleamed with madness, and its blood-red eyes burned with hatred for the world.

 

“Now then, shall we start dismantling this lizard?”

 

Blue light enveloped Nerzaka as its wounds began to heal.
