In the world of possibilities that never existed .
Veronia’s Royal Palace .
In the throne room, Hero Ruti met Empress Leonor and Uzuku, who had become the king of Veronia .
“Even if you are a hero, you will not be forgiven for drawing a sword in the throne room . ”
Empress Leonor, an old woman wearing a bright red ruby ring, pointed at Ruti .
Her appearance of dressing her old body with jewelry and having a distorted expression on her face was just like those witches from legends .
King Uzuku grinned as he sat on the throne .
The new Veronian knight recruits surrounded Ruti with drawn swords and stared at her with murderous eyes .
『Sage』 Ares and 『Assassin』 Tise flinched slightly from that murderous intent and 『Weapon Master』 Prince Kifa held his shield to protect the two of them .
『Tree Singer』 Yarandorara glared at Uzuku who was seated on the throne and Leonor beside him, without paying any attention to the soldiers .
Since losing Gideon, Yarandorara’s hatred for the Demon Lord Army intensified and it was undiminished under any circumstances .
Her actions could jeopardize her companions … but nobody could change her mind .
“Former Queen Leonor . I have come to correct your mistakes . ”
Hero Ruti said as she fixed her gaze at Leonor with her red pupils that did not change regardless of the situation .
But she addressed her not as Empress but as Former Queen .
A declaration that she does not recognize Uzuku as king .
Naturally, Leonor cried in rage . But Ruti’s eyes did not change .

At that moment, the door behind them opened .
“Shut up, Leonor . ”
With a sharp voice, Prince Sarius at the prime of his life entered accompanied by soldiers and General Ririnrara, a High-Elf wearing an eye-patch . As well as,
“O-onee-sama!? You should be dead!!”
Misufia stood with a staff in hand .
“Hmph, I lived to see this day . ”
“This day!?”
“The day to end all your wrongdoings! Heroes, now is the time to reveal the truth!”
Ruti took out an old silver mirror from her bosom .
“O Rarael’s Mirror, illuminate the hidden evil!”
Ruti’s mirror faced King Uzuku .
“Tch!!”
King Uzuku, who had been maintaining a leisurely smile until then, hid his face in a hurry after seeing the mirror .
But it was too late .
Reflected on the mirror was the appearance of a horned demon .

“Guh-ohhhhh!!!”
King Uzuku’s body bubbled, swelled, and transformed into a demon with twisted horns .
“Contract Demon!!”
Ares shouted after seeing the true form of the demon .
Prince Uzuku’s true identity was that of a Contract Demon .
“Hiiiii!?”
Leonor screamed and collapsed after seeing her only son transform into a demon .
“Cursed Hero! You dare reveal my true body!!”
“Contract Demon! You tricked Queen Leonor and planned to take over the Kingdom of Veronia!”
“It’s regrettable that I had to lie . I only wished to fulfill that woman’s wish . Prince Uzuku’s soul still remains in me, although he can’t move a single finger . ”
The Contract Demon said with a laugh and glared at the Hero .
“But even that was ruined by you! There is no higher humiliation for a Contract Demon! Know my anger, said to be comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings!”
“He’s coming! Misufia fall back!”
Ruti drew her Holy Sword of Demon Slaying and formed a formation with her companions .
Clad in flames born from his surging magical power, the Contract Demon attacked the Heroes .

It was a fierce battle .
Ares was treating Prince Kifa and Tise who have fallen .
Even Ares, who was treating them, had almost no magical power left .
Yarandorara had used up all the seeds she prepared .
It was an opponent that they could not beat if they didn’t do so .
Hero Ruti sheathed her sword and approached Leonor .
Leonor was sobbing on the ground .
“Former Queen Leonor . ”
“… Yes . ”
“The demon has been exterminated . ”
“Thank you, I did not become a foolish queen who destroyed her country . ”
“You will be judged by Veronian law after this . ”
“I will probably be hanged but I accept it . I committed such a crime … I killed my beloved son . ”
Ruti made a pained expression .
“So the Hero will feel sadness for a foolish person such as myself . ”
“You regret your wrongdoings after all . ”
“ … I was too obsessed with ambition and lost my loved one . Hero Ruti, please convey my story to everyone, that this is the end for those who betray mankind . ”
“Former Queen Leonor …”
“And this . ”
Leonor handed a key to Ruti .
“This is?”
“This is the control key for Wendy Dart, the Demon Lord’s ship that the former king snatched from the Dark Continent . The ship also has a nautical map that leads to the Dark Continent . ”
“!!”
“The Flying Ship can’t overcome the storm created by the Demon Lord . But you should be able to reach the Dark Continent by using Wendy Dart . ”
“ … Thank you, Former Queen Leonor . ”
“Hero, please save this worl . . d!!”
Leonor instantly drew the slender sword on her waist and pierced the hero’s chest .
The hero’s expression did not change as she blood spilled out of her and the world lost its color and went silent .
The old Leonor’s body returned to the same appearance as her young girl self when she died and a fiery vitality returned to her weakened eyes .
“What are you trying to say by showing me this? That this is the correct way of life?”
Leonor looked up into the sky at the infinite glow .
There seemed to be something within the light but it could not be seen with the human eye .
“Demis . ”
Leonor felt her eyes burn in the light but nevertheless she still stared and shouted at God .
The Veronian Royal Palace disappeared and a road manifested .
There Leonor stood alone, facing God .
