While Zeke continued training himself, the other heroes did the same thing. Each of them having a specific regime that allowed the kingdoms to ensure that their heroes would be the strongest there is. Some are deployed to actual missions. Others are supplemented with powerful items and weapons. Then there are also those that go through certain rituals in order to instantly enhance their powers. Lastly, there is a single kingdom that focuses on giving their hero an easy time. Granting their hero the final strike when attacking any monster and, that’s what we’re going to witness at this very moment.“Aim for the head!” Sylph ordered as he dashed towards the gigantic Flame Salamander. A monster that is half the size of a true dragon but, is just as dangerous as this.The monster breathed flames into the elf and towards the others that fought in the front lines. But Sylph is able to stop this by casting a wind spell. Creating a wall of air that blocked the breath and, even forced it to go
“Good work today everyone.” Sylph said to the unit that’s under his command.The group huddled together and went for a meeting right as soon as they took down the last monster for that day. It wasn’t the salamander that they fought last. Though it’s definitely the strongest, they had to deal with other strong monsters as well. Something that became bearable because their heroine, Karina, now has a fallen salamander as one of her shadow summon. “As you all know, the main purpose of our venture outside the walls of the kingdom is to ensure that lady Karina gets as much experience points as she needs.” Sylph explained. “With the number of monsters we’re killing everyday, I’d say we’re on track to making her strong enough to fight in the front lines.”“T-Thank you for your hard work everyone.” Karina bowed her head, stuttering just a bit at the beginning of her delivery. “I wouldn’t be able to get this far without your support.”It’s the truth. Karina’s job class requires that the oppone
Sylph patiently waited for the return of the heroine. He didn’t even bother coming out to assist Karina because, he knows that the reaper would be able to win. And there are a couple of factors that made him think this of course. The first is that, Sylph’s wind magic affects the entirety of the nearby vicinity. This win is invisible to the naked eye of course and, cannot be treated as anything else other than part of the normal flow of wind because of how thinly this is dispersed.Yet even though the winds are in this kind of state, Sylph can still freely control it. That being said, he can infuse these winds with a lot of different stuff. And the one that he used for that moment gave a debuff to Karina’s enemies. Making their senses dull for a second. Enough for Karina to begin hunting them down.This is the only help he provided because Karina can take care of the rest. When the heroine’s personality changes, she’s also able to make use of all the skills that comes with the [Reaper]
Seven days has passed. Within this period, all of the heroes from all twelve kingdoms made steady progress. They all trained and got stronger. The all fought and accumulated experience points. Various methods are used by these same heroes in order to ensure that they get the best results that could possibly be handed to them. And, for Zeke, this means pitting himself against Sylvia again. Engaging in combat against the female elf within the training grounds.This is the first time that they’re doing it again. After the first bout where Zeke simply got crushed miserably, this time he knows that things may be different. Things may go his way this time around because of a couple of factors. The first being that, he has gotten stronger since the first time they exchanged blows.He didn’t Think of doing this right away because of several reasons. But the primary one is because of his own pettiness. He doesn’t want to feel the very big gap between him and Sylvia anymore. He wants to focus o
The sound of steel clashing against steel can be heard echoing across the whole of the arena. There is a solitude that it creates for this is nothing more than a solitary sound. Without any other sound mixing with it. Yet, this only makes the sounds intensify even more. Reverbing with a strength and sharpness that cannot be produced by mere common fighters.True to this statement, the ones fighting in that moment are none other than Zeke and Sylvia. The human who is proclaimed as the hero of the Forge Kingdom and, the female elf who is the right-hand of the king of this crumbling empireOnly focus could be felt with every exchange made by these two. Everything within their environment is non-existent. It’s like they are within a separate space. One which can only be accessed by the two of them. That is what it felt like. That is what they’re being made to feel like and, anything less than that would mean the death of only one person. The loosing side of this bout – none other than Zek
My fellow spectator, we have now reached a point where the surface of the story has been scratched. Indeed, the world of Ragna is vast and, though the life of Zeke Elwood thus far seems to be peaceful, that is nothing more than a safety that is granted in the form of a privilege.After all, there will be no harm coming to Zeke Elwood because the kingdom he’s in is protected by the neighboring ones. That is also a testament to the strength of these said kingdoms. With the Elven Kingdom being one of the eleven that guards the safety and integrity of Forge. Among these is another that is problematic. Probably more so compared to the Elven kingdom and, this is none other than the kingdom of the Vampires. The Crimson Kingdom.“Octavia.” A teenager said, sitting on top of a mount of corpses.His upper shirt is already removed, revealing the well-cut muscles that are stained with the blood of those he slew. Yet there are no signs of any weapons being held by the said teen. The only thing th
Three more days have passed. Within this period, Zeke finally decided to head out and continue fighting the monsters of the demon lord. He has gathered enough information and, has also advanced in the way of making weaponry and equipment. Allowing him to get better gear which he can test out against the monsters or any bastard that dares try to get in his way.Though that in itself also has to wait because, within that same day, something else happened. A trouble occurred that is much larger than anything that Zeke had to face – a trouble that’s connected to a feat he just finished. That is, the murder of the elves including the general Adeline.This news is personally delivered to him by Sylvia. The dark elf rushed to the room where he’s in. Stopping Zeke in his preparations as the news is handed. This took away the grin on the hero’s face. Quite an understandable thing because the elves have ruined his plans.“They requested an audience with you my lord. Their queen herself has decr
A couple of hours after Zeke’s departure is announced, the hero decided to prepare his things. He placed these in his inventory and made as many things in the forge as needed. After all, he’s not sure that he can use a forge on another kingdom and, even if he could, there is a great chance that he will be stopped. There is also the chance that the forge isn’t as good as the one that Heimdal does which is actually the greatest chance of being the case since, it is agreed within the whole of the kingdom that Heimdal’s forge is the second best. Only being beaten by the king’s forge.Then there is the third problem which is that, there can be those that would scout him while he goes on the forge. Not only this but it will also reveal his secondary job class. A trait that he wants to keep a secret as much as he could. The less of his hand that he shows, the greater his chances of winning after all. So he’s going to keep these things to himself until he gets strong enough to not care about
