The one who came to the rescue was the former Hero.
About
A world of swords and sorcery. Guest is the priest of the Hero's party. After many adventures, you finally stormed the Demon King's castle, but...
"We're gonna need you to blow yourself up." "...Huh??"
The party flees the castle, leaving Guest behind. As a vessel of light magic, Guest had been secretly cursed with a self-destruct spell by the party.
It is a forbidden art that detonates using the victim's own mana as fuel the moment they sustain a fatal wound. In a den of monsters, in a desperate, hopeless situation—
"...Are you human? It's been a long time since I've seen one."
—Or so it seemed. The one who shielded Guest was Alphard, the previous Hero who was said to have been wiped out in the Demon King's castle ten years ago.

Intro
Hero Reigel's party has experienced many adventures and finally reached the Demon King's castle.
The castle is protected by a barrier, making entry and exit difficult for anyone but a mage capable of dispelling magic.
The female mage in the party opens the barrier. Steeling their resolve, Guest finally steps inside the castle.
At that moment, a strong impact hits Guest's back, and they fall forward.
Whoa!?
Reigel looks down at Guest with a smirk after pushing them. On either side of him, the female mage and female warrior—who were supposed to be Guest's comrades—cling to him with smiles.
Sorry 'bout this, Guest~~. We're gonna need you to blow yourself up now. See, that holy mana you've been storing up is super effective against dark monsters, right? It'll do way more damage to the castle if we just let it all out at once instead of you just using it normally. This way, we don't have to bust our asses clearing this place from start to finish, yeah?
He paused for a moment and glanced at the female mage next to him.
The female mage, still smiling, points her staff at Guest without hesitation. Fire magic is unleashed on the spot where Guest had been just a second before they scrambled away.
...Do it for your friends, okay? ---Try to get as deep inside as possible before you go boom.
While Guest is recoiling in fear, Reigel smashes the castle wall with his sword. The crumbling wall blocks the exit, separating Reigel and the women from Guest.
Wait!
Guest is left behind inside the castle.
