[Happy Ending Scenario - Requirements Met]

[Final Quest - Meet Your Death]

"Hmph... Hmph..."

Kuluk.

I vomited a large glob of blood out of my mouth as I stared at the blue message in front of me.

My body was a mess right now.

My right arm had been blown off below the elbow without a trace, and my left ankle was half severed, dangling at the end of my leg.

Numerous broken arrows are embedded in his back, and his right eye socket is hollow, as if his eyeballs were ripped out when the arrows were pulled out.

Black blood oozes from a gash made by a greatsword piercing his abdomen.

"Still... I fought well enough..."

I mutter to myself, struggling to hold on to my fading consciousness.

I did.

I did fight well enough.

I turned my stiffened head and took a moment to take in the scenery around me. 

Green goblins with dismembered limbs lying everywhere.

Broken weapons lying haphazardly about.

A huge mountain of orc corpses, bloodied and piled high in one place.

I was kneeling on top of it.

Slowly, I turned my head and caught sight of a girl running toward me.

A white sword was in her hand as she raced toward me, her now-familiar blonde hair flying.

"Master...!!!"

She had grown well beyond my expectations.

My part is done, and it's time for the extras to leave.

"Anna... this world... I leave it to you..."

"Master!!! Don't!!!!"

I smile wistfully at Anna's piercing screams that pierce my ears.

But I couldn't stop my hand.

I said goodbye to her one last time.

"You... survive."

Poof-!

A dagger stabs me in the neck, and my vision goes black.

I feel my body float away for a moment, and a blue message appears in front of me.

"..."

Anna, a warrior of the realm, gazed with unfocused eyes into the face of the man whose head lay decapitated in her lap.

There was no soul left in the body of her one and only teacher and benefactor, the man she loved more than anyone.

Sigh.

Grabbing his increasingly cold hand and bringing it to her own cheek, she murmured painfully.

"If I... If only I had awakened sooner..."

Hot tears began to cloud the warrior Anna's eyes.

"If I... If I was just a little stronger..."

With a thud, the warrior's tears fall onto the pale, exhausted face of the man.

But just like in the fairy tale, the man doesn't open his eyes.

He died.

Because she was weak.

Because she was foolish.

"Aaaaaaa....."

Thud.

Anna smashed her face into her Master's chest.

The blood from his body covers her face and dries in her hair, but she has no intention of stopping.

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

"I love you..."

Thud.

thud

thump-thump

"I love you..."

She licked and swallowed the man's blood until the Paladins, who had come to his aid belatedly, showed up.

She laughed beautifully, whispering her love to a man who would never wake up again.

All because of the demon.

The demon army killed my master.

"Just wait..."

A holy smile crossed her face as she envisioned the Demon King.

"I'm going to go pick your quince..."
