Heavy rain pours down in a small town.
Inside a certain mansion, and an old man was troubled explaining toward their lord. In the dining room, only three long stick of candle was the source of light. Illuminated by the flames is the meal served at the table. It wasn’t just an ordinary meal. On the table was a human body chopped into pieces.
“My lord this is a mistake... The hero is already been defeated by the demon king a long time ago… There’s can’t be another hero roaming around. It must be a random stranger proclaiming to be the hero.”
The town chief said while both of his knees were on the floor and his face facing down.
Opposite to his seat was a giant demon. Two horns on its forehead, bloody colored skin, and pair of giant bat-like wings.
While listening to the town chief’s report. He silently looks at the red liquid on his wine cup. Spinning it around before pouring it into his mouth.
The ch
While seating on the wooden carriage. I look upon the night sky from the window. Good enough the heavy rains ended. The dark clouds covering the stars are all gone. Beside me, Cosette prepared some juice and some meal for me to eat. She then give me a box filled with food. “Isn’t it too much?” “Nope, it's fine… I’m grateful for saving us earlier. Without you in the bar, Something really bad might happen. Just think this as a token of my appreciation.” “I don’t exactly save you… My target is the Fire demon. I just happened to kill those bastards.” “Still, you’re my hero… Same with my grandfather.” Turning my glance to the old man outside driving the horses. “Is it really fine to travel at the night? Monsters are commonly active in these hours.” “Normally we don’t do this, but don’t have any choice. This part of the kingdom is already under the control of the demon king. My grandfather and I didn’t know about it till now.
My battle with the powerful lizardman lord in the forest labyrinth concluded, I traveled the route back, tracing distant memories in my head. At long last, the light of the exit came into sight, and I heaved a sigh of relief. I cast aside the stuffy memories and rushed out of the corridor, breathing the fresh, crisp air deeply. Before I was a dark forest path, the sides are overgrown. Traveling alone in the demon king territory. I already anticipated the often appearance of monsters on my way. Killing normal monsters is piece of cake. Especially after my training and my battle in the dungeon. Before I do have trouble killing one lizardman lord monster. Right now, I just killed it in a few hits. Comparing this monster to extraterrestrials. This monster will appear to be cute. While traveling in Fiore continent. I stumble upon many locations I ventured before. As I walk in the same path as before. Memories came flowing in my mind. The good old t
(When the star falls everything will fall apart.) Night in Fiore border. Inside a small cabin, a little girl has both hands together praying for the goddess of light. While in the middle of prayer, she stops… Something in front of her caught her attention. “Woah… Hey, mommy what was that?” Asked the little girl. “I don’t know a bad omen though… We should continue praying.” “Mmm…” “Mommy, what is that noise?” “?!” The mother was astonished at what she saw. Right beside their house thousand of knights passed by. Led by a knight riding a pure white horse and his armor shiny as a silver coin. The mother turned her glance to the giant flags. “That flag! The Knights of White wings! Why is the holy church army here?” The knight continues their journey and ignores the mother and child. “Oh, Oh, they saw us first. What a beautiful image, a mother and a child on a pilgrimage. I bed
“There! There is the place where I live.” “It's kinda run down…” After meeting the little girl I asked her if there’s a town where I can spend the night on. I don’t want to sleep in the deep forest. At the same time, I would like to feel a comfortable bed. When I step foot in the small town. I notice how silent it was. The there gaze was a mix of fear and bloodlust. I understand the reason behind their gaze. After Fiore become part demon territory. Residents felt constant anxiety about their lives. Even they placed a warding talisman to chase off monsters. A supreme demon can still attack them at night. “Don’t think about their stares mister swordsman… Knight happened to have a bad reputation. Most of the knights are now serving the demon king army.” They change the sides. It's reasonable to be friends with strong ones than weak ones. “If that’s the case, then I don’t have any place to stay in this town.” “True, but I can explain to them… I might be able to explain that you’re
While on our way.“Could you tell me about you’re friend witch?”“She’s very nice… She always makes sweets snacks and plays with me. She has a huge collection of dolls in her home.”A place full of sweets and dolls must be a paradise in little girls' eyes.Everyone is afraid of witches, that’s common sense. I was the same ten years ago.Witches are mostly known for doing shady acts. Ist understandable why people point fingers at her about the weird things happening to their town.After meeting the witch in the dungeon and Elaina. My perspective about witches changes.Speaking about the witch of the dungeon. The witch after we get out was never seen outside. Elaina said that she already perished. She is downcast during that time.Still, this witch I’m approaching is different from Elaina. Witches are naturally evil. They are called witches because they practice dark magic.
When I noticed her. I immediately brush her arms around me and said:“This is not a game… My journey is extremely dangerous. I can’t have you with my journey.”“I know it's dangerous… I know that… I know that heroes always have the most dangerous job. But still, I wanted to come along with you. I don’t want to return to my town. Everyone there I hate them. My father when he doesn’t have money is selling my body to his friends. My mother is a weak-willed woman and can’t stand up for her daughter. That’s why I always go to the forest with the witch. Now that she is gone. There is no place for me to go and hide. There is no place for me.”Jelian said.Turning my glance to a direction where I ran off. I noticed that the knights of white wings are already closing. At the same time, I can’t let this girl go back to that town. Because her eyes are crying for help.I can&rsquo
On his palm, a huge red magic circle appeared. At its center, the embers of flame are about to emerge. With a magic circle that huge. The flame is about to lunch might be able to engulf this area with flames. The two women are injured but still, they are capable of dodging this danger. But the girl hiding behind the bushes will be burned. “Burn to hell!” “That’s my line!” I shouted and kick the ground to his position. Further increasing my speed with Grand Chariot. I pushed his elbow upward changing the trajectory of his magic. The huge flames burst up above the sky. The strong light from his flame made the whole area in darkness for a brief moment. On the ground, a sharp spear made of rock emerges attempting to pierce through Grand Chariot. “Earth spike!” The spear made of rock snapped out the moment it strike my armor. That was a great strategy but with grand chariot it's useless. Grand chariot can’t be destro
Because of the old merchant’s help. We’re able to reach Eden city earlier than we expected. I offered money to the old man as our payment, but he refuse to accept it from me and instead thank me again for saving his life before. Honestly, I didn’t think much about it anymore. But doing good things will pay off, unexpectedly.Despite that, I still think that he's a very good man.The old merchant and I separated our ways in the entrance gate. Him going inside the city will still take a long time because of inspection. The knights inspected the carriage and the sand dragon before they can enter Eden city.As we step foot together with Jelian and Yunis. Jelian’s eyes widen and a big smile emerges on her face.“What is this place? The house is so colorful. Flowers are everywhere and the air is so fresh. Completely different from the small town where I was born.”“This is the city of paradise… Eden city.
