He Became the Only Ally of the Abandoned Warrior

No one could understand what had just happened.

How Linasien had appeared here, how she managed to approach the Demon without anyone noticing, or why she looked blood-soaked and disheveled—all remained a mystery.

Above all, seeing Linasien holding the Demon King's horn, which she used to stab the Demon, shocked both the Hero’s party and the goddess.

Not just Lin, but every member of the Hero’s party recognized this quest item at a glance.

The horn, proof of their victory over the Demon King, was supposed to be safely stored in a sacred vault in the imperial treasury.

And that vault could only be accessed with the signet ring of a royal official.

Aware of this connection, Lin and Airan cast suspicious glances at Linasien.

Now freed from the curse of slowed movements thanks to her surprise attack, Lin cautiously asked her,

"Linasien, what did you do to Princess Gyanal?"

"Riiiiin!"

Linasien, gripping the horn tightly, shouted back at him,

"I'm here, right in front of you! Why are you talking about another woman? I know I messed up, so stop sulking already!"

Her response was entirely off-topic.

Yet Lin, upon noticing the signet ring of a royal official on her bloodstained hand holding the horn, could easily deduce Gyanal’s fate.

“You… you hurt an innocent person….”

Airan and Garin, who had also realized what she had done, looked equally horrified.

Dragged from the Zramun Archipelago into the heart of political and power struggles, Gyanal had died without any preparation.

And Airan, who indirectly caused all this by sending a letter, would carry this guilt for the rest of his life.

"Do you even understand who you've dared to stab? Are you prepared for the consequences?"

"Who are you supposed to be? All I see is that bastard Reinhold, but with a woman’s voice? What, are you here to try and seduce Lin too?!"

This woman was out of her mind.

Faced with a Linasien who had crossed the point of no return into madness, the Demon was forced to take a hard look in the mirror.
