The Devil Does Not Need to Be Defeated

In the realm of Holy Sword, where skills are blessed and bravery reigns supreme, Shien stands as a seemingly invincible hero, summoned from another world. Endowed with the divine mission to vanquish the devil, he garners admiration from the goddess and disdain from the princess, along with skepticism from his own comrades, who suggest he pursue the path of nation-building instead.

Yet, Shien remains resolute in his chosen course. He harbors a singular ambition: to tread the path of an adventurer, confronting monsters, honing his skills, and ascending to the pinnacle of strength. His ultimate goal? To clandestinely defeat the Demon King once he attains maximum level, shunning the glory and recognition that would follow.

Little does Shien realize, however, that the defeat of the Demon King may not be the only path destiny has in store for him.
