Hero Of The World 43 Chapter 43: The End Of The War

Getting yanked with the flaming chain wasn't exactly pleasant for the demon, even if it didn't do much damage.

Glaring alternately between Lucy and Ned, he was starting to get irritated with this fight.

Although his powers were enhanced due to his clans unique traits, dark mana attribute, he wouldn't dare to take a hit from Amelia who was near him in strength and neither from Ned who had already took his right arm.

Even with one arm the demon never lost his confidence and simply wrapped his shadows on the wound healing it, and making a new shadow arm.

His mind was rapidly thinking of ways to kill them all. He was always more of a schemer than a fighter, as such explaining his lack of battle sense.

He was sent for this mission precisely because of his cunningness. Although his plan may seem simple at first, with just transforming into Amelia and infiltrating the human kingdom, it was far more sophisticated.

With more details such as, with the authority of Amelia, he could keep disguising people from his clan into the human geniuses. As such when the time comes he would have demons disguised as humans in every major post of authority.

Flexing his arms, the flames died out quickly. Then he glared at Ned with hate filled eyes.

He was so close but then Ned ruined everything. The demons had a sort of cruel managing system.

If you succeed you would reach further heights in your standing, but if you fail, then the punishment you will face will leave you despaired. Such was the demon's situation right now.

Controlling his mana he concentrated it on his claws making them longer and sharper.

Glaring at Ned he simply vanished.

Leaving all of them tensed except Ned, who knew where he was.

He had a guess that the demon was vying for his life.

And with no surprises he saw the demon suddenly appeared in front of him.

Having been prepared, he had already turned his hands under the gauntlet into fire element, and would use something similar to Lucy's idea to get this fight done.

But he knew such a thing wouldn't be easy, as they were fighting a rank 6 expert after all.

Still using his s.h.i.+eld that was strapped on his right gauntlet he blocked the left claws of the demon and pushed him using his legs with a kick before the demon can reach him with his right claws.

He pushed him near Amelia, and the demon seeing this tried blending in the shadows, but was suddenly unable to move from another flaming chain but this time it was much stronger.

Ned leaving him no time to break it and run, casted another one, and another one. Buying the time needed for Amelia to take his head.

Once the demon knew what is going to happen, he gathered all his mana in his mouth, and you can see his body losing the armor, after which he shot a black ball of dark mana in Ned's direction.

It was so fast that Ned was only able to turn his right arm and left, even if incapacitated, to crystal element and covering his s.h.i.+eld in it and crouching to better take the hit.

There was a sound of a big explosion, after which everything died down.

Yulyas, had panicked when he saw the demon's desperate attack and wanted to help but he was nowhere fast enough to.

He saw Ned try to take the hit, after which came the explosion, and there was a dust cloud raised.

He run in the direction of Ned not bothering to check if the demon was dead.

They all did even Amelia.

If anybody deserved the most honor in this war, it would be Ned.

Luckily when they reached him he was still alive, just weak.

He had burn marks on both his hands, and many wounds on his face, neck, and almost every part of his body that was exposed, but luckily they were just shallow wound.

He was still conscious, and knew that if he didn't use the crystal magic, he would have more than just burns and small wounds.

Reaching for his pocket he brought with his shaking right hand another red potion and drank it while thinking that finally all this was done.

After which Yulyas helped him stand up and get to a tent to rest.

......

On the other side, in Wrester city.

At Lori's inn.

Lori had, since the first day Ned had joined the war, knew that the feelings she had for Ned that she thought was like a friend were much more.

She wasn't able to focus on anything, and she was dazed all the time, until her grandfather told her to stop working and a take a rest.

As the inn itself was there to just find the right person he thought could be the hero.

Now that that he saw Ned he was sure it was him and so didn't see any reason to let Lori work, they weren't short of money anyways.

She took his advice and went to rest that day.

And it had been five days since the fight started, and she was getting anxious and anxious about him, which further proved to her that she had fell in love with him.

However she was scared to meet him again, and she had may insecurities.

First of all, she didn't know if he would accept her. And second she didn't know if had someone he liked. And although there was polygamy in this world, she felt that if Ned ever married any women, she wouldn't be one of them, because she wasn't beautiful enough, not kind enough, and probably annoying…

She kept insulting herself and adding to her insecurities.

She was currently in the inn in her room, lying on the bed and staring absentmindedly into the roof of the room.

Until suddenly she heard the horns sound that were used to announce the beginning of the war or the end of it.

It was heard all the way from the wall to the city and would be heard all over the kingdom, with the use of magic.

It rang three times meaning the war had ended.

She was happy and couldn't help but be excited for Ned's return.

But she had to calm herself, as he still had almost two days trip by carriage to reach here.
