I'm Not the Final Boss' Lover

Meyer was angry as if I had been stabbed by Fabian.

Oh, my. He made me use “sacred devotion” every day just in case something like this happened… he should know better than myself that I don’t have a single blemish.

I, with a body as fragile as mung bean jelly, did not come into Fabian’s scheme without thinking. And Meyer wouldn’t have sent me in the first place.

“Ack!”

The moment Fabian put his strength into my hand, Meyer swung his sword at him.

I did not apply any attribute transformation, so he did not use any magic power on the sword, but Fabian shuddered from the sword pressure alone.

Fabian just barely escaped, but Meyer’s sword tip pursued him relentlessly.

Meyer’s sword rushed in as if it had to break Fabian’s arm, holding my hand.

“Damn it…!”

Eventually, Fabian gave up on me. Releasing my hand, Fabian quickly spread the distance and gritted his teeth.

Still, he was quick, as he had once been a hero.

There was a great commotion as people mingled and tried to flee.

Amid the scattered chaos, Meyer made sure I was safe first.

“Are you all right, Jun?”

His eyes were filled with anxiety as he took my arm and looked around.

But what was important now was not my safety. I shouted to the special forces, pointing to the mental wizard, who was trying to sneak away in the chaotic gap.

“That brown-haired shield must be taken care of!”

“Yes!”

The special unit that had captured Fabian’s flock followed the very same mental wizard.

Before that, the twin swordsman, who at one time belonged to the Black Knights’ Yellow Lightning Unit but was kicked out last year due to a unit reorganization, stood in their way.

“Damn it! Rookies…!”

“Know your honor!”

Nova, who was with me at the time she was kicked out, recognized her and shouted.

While Nova was dealing with the twin swordsman, Julieta shot forward like a ballista.

“Keuk!”

The tip of Julieta’s mace pushed back the mental wizard, who was running away as it were.

He was no match for Julieta, even though he too had raised his level as a shield.

Like an insect specimen on a fixed pin, the mental wizard could not move except to flap his arms and legs miserably.

“Damn it…!”

The twin swordsman was also subdued by Nova.

Nova clucked his tongue, wiping her blood from his chin.

“It’s harder to catch them alive than I thought?”

“The demons are much easier to kill.”

Julieta calmly responded by dragging the back of the mental wizard.

In case he said anything, the mental wizard’s mouth remained blocked.

Thanks to the advance notice to capture them alive, everyone’s hands and feet were in sync.

I looked at them sitting one by one and said to my satisfaction.

“They’ll be our precious witnesses. You can’t kill them in advance.”

This time, as it happened in the capital, only a small number of people were brought in.

In the case of Axion, his magical destructive power was too strong and wide, so he was excluded.

Jeanne and Anasta are intertwined with Fabian, so they are excluded in consideration of possible variables.

I asked Robur to escort Jeanne and Anasta.

In fact, as most of Fabian’s gang couldn’t or barely crossed the wall, it could only be handled with the trio and Meyer. I saw Meyer still weaving between them and chasing Fabian.

Fabian put plenty of magic into his sword, only to be hit by Meyer’s sword, which had no magic at all.

Each time their swords clashed, a wave of magic power changed the air around them.

The old walls of the neighborhood began to crumble little by little as the air hummed. It was fortunate that this was a deserted area.

While Fabian was frantically running away, Meyer had as much time to spare as a hound hunting down a rabbit.

Sevi, who was dealing with the remaining Fabian gang, admired the sight.

“It still doesn’t seem that he is not without the ability to run away so far against the Commander.”

Although he said so with his mouth, inwardly he was not happy to admit that Fabian’s ability was better than his own.

Well, he may look like that now, but he was once a hero.

It seems that the ability he gained by confronting the Demon King had not rusted.

‘In addition, it seems that his level is quite high… I don’t think he’s in the early 60s.’

Although he was pushed back, he would have been at least mid-to-late 60 levels if he had hit Meyer a few times.

It wasn’t this much a year ago… As the expedition collapsed, did he monopolize the experience by himself?

There was a possibility in its own way. He’s at the level of the other crew, and if he brainwashed me and brought me in, I thought he could raise himself enough before the Demon King Gate opened.

“Shit!”

Even though he raised his level like that, he wasn’t good enough to be Meyer’s opponent. Meyer’s sword raked through him.

Fabian’s injuries gradually increased. Being on the defensive, he clenched his teeth. There was a sense of inferiority and defeat on his face.

Then the sky suddenly darkened.

Everyone stopped due to the sudden solar eclipse in the middle of the day.

“Solar eclipse? No, I can feel the energy…….”

“The magic of a dungeon…”

“How is that magic here?”

All those who were mixed up looked up at the sky and murmured.

All these people here have been rolling in dungeons all their lives. More familiar with dark, damp, and murky magic than the clear air of the world. There was no way that they wouldn’t recognize magi.

Crows chirped noisily.

The sky was packed with birds as if they were fleeing somewhere to avoid some evil creature. I know this phenomenon. I’ve seen it once.

This was the sign of the opening of the Demon King Gate.

***

“Time flies so fast.”

I sighed low. Months earlier than I had expected.

Meyer was also flustered by the fact that his encounter with the Demon Lord was earlier than he expected, but his gaze was stolen for a moment toward the anxious sky.

And that moment was enough to create an opportunity for Fabian to escape.

“Ah!”

As soon as I shouted, Meyer swung his sword at Fabian. But Fabian had already torn the movement scroll.

A swarm of light from the movement scroll wound around Fabian. Fabian’s blue eyes glowed with obsession and anger as he bled and disappeared.

Meyer’s sword disrupted Fabian’s afterimage. Fabian vanished without a trace, and all that remained was a magical haze of the movement scroll.

Meyer gritted his teeth and sighed.

“Movement scroll……! I didn’t expect him to have ancient artifacts.”

The movement scrolls are a relic from a thousand years ago, and there is no one who can make them now.

They are disposable, so they wear out fast, and I thought they were a phantom item and that the remaining scrolls had also run out…

It seems that Countess Nerus had one. There was enough possibility as she was a person like a mallet.

But it was surprising that she gave it to Fabian. I clucked my tongue.

“Countess Nerus must have been very anxious. and she took out all the cards she had hidden.”

“I let my guard down. I shouldn’t have pushed him like that, I should have killed him with a single stroke. What a foolish thing to do.”

Meyer clasped his head in agony. A shadow cast over his regretful face.

I added, putting my hand on Meyer’s arm.

“It’s the same with me to be careless.”

Because I was also watching as I spectated. I didn’t think it was necessary to go as far as to use attribute conversion… Therefore, since Meyer could not use his magical powers, it wasn’t just Meyer’s fault.

There was no time to think about losing Fabian here. I quickly raised the mood.

“But don’t worry too much about Fabian, for he has unleashed his hounds. In this case, the first thing to do is to prepare for the battle of the Demon King.”

I’m not sure how active the hounds will be… I swallowed my anxiety. I have a lot of work to do. At times like this, I had to empty my head.

Meyer immediately nodded in agreement.

“Well, then… I’ll go to the Imperial Palace first, tell the Emperor about this, and call up the Black Knights and the expedition leaders.”

“Please do.”

Fortunately, there was still time to spare for the Demon King’s gate to fully open.

The last troops had to be maintained until the demons flew out.

Since most of the Black Knights elite were now at the Imperial Palace, as well as the rest of the expeditionary force, it was at least a relief that opinions could be passed on quickly.

Meyer went ahead to the Imperial Palace and we captured the rest of them except Fabian.

The mental wizard, the core cause of the felony, was trembling. Even if he wanted to kill himself, he couldn’t do anything about it.

While the waiting imperial soldiers were transporting the sinners one by one, Nova asked, looking around.

“Um… Vice Commander, what should we do with your family?”

Taking advantage of the commotion, they fled, hiding in a quiet corner between the collapsed walls, shaking.

Nova’s voice was filled with frustration as he clearly saw next to me that they were not very good parents.

I glanced at them. I saw a momentary glimmer of hope in their eyes, but they just looked pale to me. I answered smoothly.

“We must deal with them in accordance with imperial law.”
