The NTR Hero Knelt Before the Demon King – Chapter 90

The world can turn upside down in an instant.

She never truly believed this saying, but there could be no better phrase to describe her current situation.

After a week-long business trip, Vice Minister Eileen returned home.

Yet at this very moment…

She was racing home with an urgent desperation, completely devoid of her usual calmness or relief at being back.

While she was away, a sudden attack by the Demon Races had struck Thebe.

As a result, the Warehouse Area where supplies were stored had turned to ashes, and countless people had lost their lives in the process.

For Eileen, who had spent blissful days without want alongside her beloved Torare, this news felt like a bolt from the blue.

With an overwhelming worry that something might have happened to that person, Eileen pushed through the crowd, finally reaching her home.

But right after that…

“!…Ah…Aah…”

As scenes began to unfold before her eyes, Eileen was engulfed by despair.

What she saw was… her home, cleanly burned away to nothing.

More than half the walls had been blown away, and not a single piece of furniture remained intact amidst the wreckage.

Moreover, what was visible on the floor were remnants that appeared to be someone’s blood and entrails.

Staring at those horrifically gruesome sights, thoughts that she never wanted to entertain began to surface in Eileen’s mind.

“Ah… No… That can’t… it can’t be… How could something so absurd happen…”

Desperately trying to deny the reality, Eileen strained to find hope.

However, with each investigation she undertook, instead of hope, she found herself facing an even harsher reality.

Like many spots in the area, her house was thoroughly destroyed.

Moreover, the corpses visible on the floor clearly indicated that someone had been killed here.

Since no one but Torare had entered before her arrival, there was no need to say who the owner of this corpse was.

Despite her repeated efforts, as despair deepened, Eileen felt her heart shattering as she sank to the ground, tears beginning to flow.

“Ahh… Torare… Torare… How… How could this happen… How could you have suffered such misfortune…”

The utter futility of a lover’s death, for whom she had shared genuine love, plunged Eileen into a chasm of sorrow, and she lost all hope and will.

At that moment…

“Filthy demon scum… Where the hell did they come from to do this?”

“I don’t know, but you saw it too, right? They used magic to set fire and kill or kidnap people.”

“Hmm? Kidnapping? Were there people taken?”

“Oh, you didn’t know? A lot of people died in the chaos last night, but among them were also those who were kidnapped. I distinctly saw the homeowner being taken away.”

“….!”

Eileen overheard the casual conversation from behind.

However, the moment she heard it, sparks of realization ignited in her mind.

“Kidnapped… Torare? Not dead?”

Honestly, it was hard to believe given the overall circumstances.

Yet despite that, she jumped to her feet and urgently questioned the talking individuals.

“Excuse me… can you tell me more about what you just said?”

“Huh? Ah… sure.”

The townsfolk felt a bit flustered at her question as they explained the situation.

According to their testimony, a person, whether demon or not, was seen carrying Torare, the homeowner, away on their shoulder last night during the fire.

“Is… is that true? If possible, could you describe that person?”

“Ah… okay, let’s see…”

The townsfolk racked their brains to recall and answer Eileen’s desperate request.

As they began to answer, a deeper color of hope started to spread across Eileen’s face.

‘It has to be true… If what they say is correct, the one taken is definitely Torare. He’s still alive, still alive!’

As hope returned, Eileen began to feel genuine joy.

Simultaneously, the despair that had filled her heart was transforming into a burning desire to rescue Torare… to bring back that person captured by the demons.

‘These dirty demon bastards… I never expected they would thwart my love like this. But just wait, Eileen will deliver retribution soon enough.’

Immediately after making her resolve, Eileen began to unleash her Divine Power.

Then, she used her abilities to track down Torare, or rather, to detect those with powerful magic in the vicinity.

‘With this level of firepower, the opponent has to be quite formidable. Finding that person shouldn’t be too hard!’

The presence of someone with powerful magic began to emerge on her radar.

Eileen recognized the being’s presence, which lingered just two days north from here, and her eyes began to shine.

‘Yes, I’ve found you… Thankfully, this should be relatively easy to track!’

With the enemy’s location pinpointed magically, Eileen prepared to move toward where the “demon” was residing.

If it were up to her, she would want to move as fast as possible on her own, but considering the confirmed numbers of demons, it would be foolish to go alone.

Thus, Eileen hurriedly gathered her direct subordinates and soldiers investigating the situation to form a strike team as quickly as possible.

On the surface, the goal was to ensure vengeance against the demons responsible for this atrocity.

Yet, for Eileen, more importantly, it was to find a way to safely rescue Torare.

“Just wait for me, Torare… I will definitely… definitely save you!”

“Ugh…ughh…”

With a pounding headache, Torare slowly opened his eyes.

Immediately, he found himself staring at her face… Shude was looking down at him.

“You’re finally awake… Torare.”

“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”

As Shude spoke to him in a cold tone, Torare attempted to speak back, but at that moment, he simply couldn’t muster the words he wanted to say.

A tight gag was firmly clamped around his mouth.

Moreover, the fact that not only his mouth but also his limbs were tightly bound solidly intensified Torare’s sense of the seriousness of his situation.

“Stay still… as long as you don’t overreact too much, this will all end smoothly.”

Shude spoke calmly, with a voice laced with quiet rage.

Then she set down the Grimoire she held and slowly approached Torare, with magic swirling around her fingertips.

“Don’t fight back too much. This is all your doing. How dare you break our promise and cheat with that woman? No way, no way, no way, not happening. Even if I were to hold another man, I won’t let you go. Sharing with Eileen makes me furious, so I won’t tolerate another pest getting involved.”

With a voice brimming with madness, Shude spoke.

Looking at her expression, half-gone and devoid of light, Torare couldn’t help but feel the most profound fear he had ever experienced in his life.

And then…

“!!! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”

In the next moment, Shude placed a magically charged finger right where it would hurt Torare the most.

The sheer agony he felt made him start to scream hoarsely, muffled by the gag.

It was a horrific and agonizing sensation, as if his male member was being torched alive.

As Torare writhed in torment, Shude smiled coldly and said, “How’s that? A magical chastity device. With this, every time Torare wants to embrace another woman besides me, you’ll feel the same pain you’re experiencing now. Of course, aside from the pain, your body won’t actually be harmed. You have to believe I’m quite merciful, as even when I’m furious, I won’t directly harm Torare.”

“Ugh!!!!!! Ugh! Ugh!!!!!”

With a chillingly bright smile, Shude spoke horrifying words.

Torare realized just how terrible his situation was and began to sob despairingly.

Just then…

“!…Tch…”

-BOOM!!!

The next moment, a loud explosion sound suddenly filled the air.

At that, Shude clicked her tongue and immediately began to gather magic around her.

Right after that, someone burst through the door, smashing it open.

Upon seeing that person, Shude spoke in a cold tone.

“Eileen…”

“I suspected it, but it really was you… Shude.”
