Chapter 149: Return (1)
In truth, unlike what Merilda, Rin, and the Crimson Dragon thought, the Hero King had genuinely fainted.
It made sense because the Hero King had not let her guard down for even a moment since the legion commanders in the Demon Realm began discussing Lartania.
Even after wiping out the commanders, she ignored the deep fatigue that weighed her body down and kept herself focused until Kelva opened the portal to return to her original world.
After crossing over to the Middle Realm, she endured weeks of excruciating pain to break through the seal that Kelva had erected to hinder her after their battle.
In such a state, unable to fully recover her strength, she immediately returned to Lartania to confirm the Lord’s return, so it was only natural that she couldn’t hold out.
It was about five hours later that Kim Hyunwoo could talk to the Hero King again.
As Kim Hyunwoo quietly watched the sunset over the mountains, he turned his gaze to the Hero King, whose skin had become slightly duller.
Neither of them spoke.
