The Hero Party and I just returned to the palace after successfully clearing the fifth floor of the Dungeon Zoo. I immediately separated from the Hero's Party after we entered the royal area.
The reason I parted ways with them was to report to His Majesty the King. Witch Zeris and I have been appointed as mentors of the Hero Party, so we have to provide King Erick with reports on the progress of the Hero's party to King Erick.
As soon as I arrived at the Royal palace, I immediately went in to meet the King. Several guards at the palace gates lowered their heads as I passed them. I currently occupy the position of head of the Knights of the Star Kingdom, so it's only natural for me to receive the respect of other knights.
“Master Xorra, the King is waiting for your arrival.”
A man who was quite old greeted my arrival, and that person was the Prime Minister of this country.
I was quite surprised to find out that the one who greeted me was a high-ranking state like him.
“Good evening, Mr Jamie Newson”
I immediately give my greetings when I know that someone like him is the one who welcomes my arrival.
Mr Newson and I immediately went to the room where the King was waiting. The two of us walked through many rooms, and every room we passed was of the same level of luxury.
After we climbed the stairs, we both finally reached the fourth floor and on this floor the King was waiting for us. Mr. Newson knocked on one of the doors as soon as we got to this floor.
*Knock… knock…*
"It's me, I've brought Xorra."
It didn't take long for the door in front of us to open as soon as Mr. Newson said this. We both immediately entered the room.
We immediately prostrated before King Erick after we saw him in this room, prostrating is our way of paying respect to the King.
"Sit down...."
We both sat down on chairs in the room.
The butler who was there also immediately gave me a cup of hot tea when I just sat down.
“Alright Xorra, please give me your report…”
*Gulp…!* I gulped when I wanted to speak.
I always get nervous every time the King asks a direct question like this. So I took a sip of tea first to feel more relaxed.
After I felt calmer, I also told all the events that happened in the Dungeon. I told them everything, from their teamwork, the incident where Axel was reckless, to Yoru who was a little scared when he looked at each other with the snake monster.
The king just listened and nodded as I gave all the reports. After finishing giving the report, the King was silent while sipping his tea.
After a moment of silence, the King finally began to speak.
“So what do you think, are they ready to face the Demon?”
Without further ado, the King immediately asked me this kind of question.
“Not yet, they just need a little practice to make their cooperation even closer… so for now, I don't think so.”
The king took a deep breath after hearing my answer. All of us in the room also couldn't help but remain silent after seeing the King's reaction.
*Brakk!!*
Suddenly the door in this room opened with a loud bang that made us all startled. A soldier immediately ran before the King and immediately bowed in front of him.
“My king, I bring you very important news!”
"Please calm down..."
The soldier looked very panicked, so we all tried to calm him down so that the message could be heard more clearly.
I made him sit on a chair and handed him a glass of water. Because of this, the soldier became calmer. After that, he immediately passed the news he brought to all of us.
“King, I have a message from the city of Rigel. Last night the city was attacked by demons, 70% of the townspeople were evacuated but the city was overrun by demons.”
Huh!? so the demon race has started to move...
We were all very surprised after hearing the explanation from the soldier.
“Knight Xorra, prepare an army to secure the city.”
"Yes my King!"
I immediately bowed before the King after he gave his order.
“And please bring the Hero Party….”
Huh? Did I hear wrong...? didn't I tell you that the Hero Party isn't ready yet.
“B-but my king....”
"We have no other choice, our Kingdom must defeat the demon with all the power we have"
Since the King said this, I couldn't help but agree to all his orders. Although I honestly don't agree with this.
Me and the soldier who gave the message immediately left the room and went to the headquarters where the Star Kingdom troops were. I also immediately went to the Hero Party's mansion and told him everything that happened.
The next morning, we were all prepared in the courtyard of the Star Kingdom. Around 3000 troops led by me have prepared in this place, the hero party has also prepared to go to Rigel city.
In this mission, our aim is not only to take back the city of Rigel, we also have a goal to provide logistical materials such as food and clothing to the refugees.
Before our troops departed, the King introduced the members of the Hero Party to the people of the Star Kingdom. With a magic tool, the King begins a speech before his subjects.
"O MY PEOPLE, THERE ARE FIVE PEOPLE SELECTED AS HEROES AND THEY ALL ARE READY TO SAVE THIS COUNTRY."
The people in this kingdom were initially very worried after news of the demon started to spread. And after they heard the King's announcement, the people's anxiety started to lessen a bit.
“MARK RHODES, AXEL THOMAS, JULIA COSMOCURE, RIKKA GRAY, AND YORU EDELHARD. THEY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL SAVE THIS COUNTRY FROM THE THREAT OF THE DEMON RACE.”
The people shouted louder after hearing the speech. This also makes the troops I lead even more excited.
“My hero, please give a word to the people of this kingdom…”
Mark immediately took one step ahead of all of us and began to say a word as requested by the King.
"PEOPLE OF THE STAR KINGDOM, WE WILL DEFINITELY TRY OUR BEST TO DEFEAT THE DEMON AND MAKE THE WORLD PEACE AGAIN."
Mark said this while raising his sword, and it made him look very manly.
I really didn't think, one month ago they were still kids who didn't understand anything. But now, humanity's destiny is in their hands.
Mark, Axel, Julia, Rikka, and Yoru. I really hope for you.
After hearing the speeches of the King and Hero, our troops finally started their journey towards the city of Rigel. And this will be our first step in subjugating the Demon Race.
Me and my six companions and the other nobles were prostrating themselves before a cocoon inside the Demon King's castle. This cocoon continues to emit a red aura that makes it look very scary. We are all prostrating in this place not without reason, we are all prostrating and waiting for the revival of the Demon leader. A majestic figure and the only one who has the right to be our leader, the Demon King Omega. Two hundred years ago, the Human Hero succeeded in sealing the King and repelling our army. But luckily I managed to retrieve the King's sealed body before the humans destroyed it. After waiting for a while, the cocoon finally started to tear and something inside was trying to come out. Aah… The wait for myself and all the demon races for 200 years has finally come to an end. *kreakkk…* The sound of the cocoon tearing signaled the end of our wait. And there was the figure we had all been waiting for. "Welcome back, My King..." We all greeted the King when his body came
“Unique Skill [Holy Barrier] activate!”Julia activated her unique skill and created a huge barrier that covered the entire city of Rigel.This barrier has the effect of weakening the Devils trapped within and granting increased strength to those within the barrier. As soon as this barrier was formed, we all immediately attacked the demons who were weakened by being trapped by this barrier.The other soldiers also immediately entered the city after the barrier was activated. Thanks to this plan, in the end many demons were killed easily. Our party also tried their best to kill the demons that tried to attack us.“Magic sword skill [Fire Slash]”“Magic sword skill [Wind Slash]”“Light magic [Purgatory]”“Sword skill [Double Slash]”Various magical and non-magic attacks were launched at the demons, and it made their numbers decrease drastically.Julia also continued to consume magic potions to stabilize her power and maintain her [Holy Barrier]. Rikka also stayed close to Julia to prote
Rigel City is now free from the demon's threat, so all of us along with the soldiers and townspeople started looking for people who could be saved. But we didn't get anything, all the townspeople who were evacuated late had actually died. It took us all twelve days to reach this city. So before we arrived, maybe the demons had already killed the townspeople who didn't have time to evacuate. We have also been living in this city for two weeks and are helping to restore the city's state of affairs. The refugees have also started to come back, and helped rebuild their hometowns. After two weeks of settling in, we finally decided to return to the royal capital. But only the five of us and Xorra returned to the capitol; for the rest of the army, they still had to be in this city to help with all sorts of things that were needed. The six of us left the city of Rigel in the morning and started our journey back to the capital Arcturus. After several hours of walking, our group finally cho
I woke up in a very dark and cold place, and I just realized that I was lying on the body of a bear monster who also fell along with me.It seems that some parts of my body had broken bones. I fell to the bottom of a very dark abyss, so I made up for it. And yes, this bear monster is definitely dead.Thank you bear monster. If it weren't for you, I'd probably be crushed.I patted the bear's body several times and finally it came down from above him. Because it's too dark in this place, I activated my fire sword skill.The sword began to emit a bright light and made the surroundings visible. Apparently the bottom of this gorge is completely empty, there is only a small river that stretches along this ravine.I sat on the ground and thought about what steps I should take next. Although actually I already have one goal, which is to return alive to avenge Axel's actions.Okay, so what should I do to get out of this place?Around here there's a lot of water, so I'm pretty lucky I guess. Bu
I leaned against the cliff after kicking Yoru to make him fall to the bottom of the abyss of the valley of darkness. I held my head after doing this, feelings of pleasure, confusion, fear, all mixed together to make my head spin. Calm down, I have to calm down! Don't let other friends suspect me. Anyway I have to look natural to make them all think that Yoru fell into this abyss by accident. “Axel… what happened…?” All my friends and Xorra finally got to this place. Mark also immediately asked this as soon as he saw the chaos in this place. I was still silent and sat with a blank stare even though my friends were already in front of me. “Hero Axel, why is there such a big hand in this place?” I was still silent after gazing at the giant Dragon, I felt the Dragon would attack if I moved even a little. Cold sweat started to drip from my body, as I stared at him more and more. How about this?! Do I have to face this dragon? what should I do, I really don't know what to do right now? “Human, I ask again. How did you come to be in this place?” “I… I… I fell to the bottom of this abyss, and am currently looking for a way out.” To think I could answer the dragon's question out loud. I've made up my mind to find a way out of this place. So I will face anything that gets in my way, even if it's a Dragon. “But you have already set foot in this place, so I have to kill you!I Don't Care About Hero Stuff EARTH DRAGON ( Part 2 )
"Why did you bring me to this place...?" I asked Zarias. Zarias placed his palm on this rock with a bitter smile on his face. “You see this big rock...? One of my children is sealed within this rock, so I need your power to open it…” “Your children are sealed in here!?” I was quite surprised when I heard this. "Yes! That stupid hero arbitrarily sealed my daughter in a place like this, and this seal can only be opened by him. So I need your Ultimate Skill [ Greed ] to unseal this…” The aura that was on Zarias' body was slightly overflowing when he told this, I think he was really annoyed with the person who did this.
Mountains of documents piled up on my desk, and I've spent about three days in this place. After the Demon Lord revives, I must complete these documents as soon as possible to make the King's work easier. As the Demon Lord's secretary, I must continue to assist with all his needs. And this activity I've been doing for hundreds of years, so I quite enjoy this job. *Knock... Knock…* The sound of a knock on the door made me stop my work. "Come in..." A soldier came into my room very politely. “Miss Alpha, I have come with a report.” I immediately got up from my work chair when I heard this and immediately sat on the sofa in t
If I recall, it seems like I've been living in this Kingdom for several months now, and this place is getting more and more comfortable with each passing day. What's more, it seems that I have found my true desire; namely martial arts. Apart from being successful in making me find my passion, this place also gave me a teacher that won't be found anywhere else, namely Sky Dragon.At first I was quite afraid to face that figure, because I knew he was very strong; and it seems like a creature like himself doesn't really like the existence of humans. But I was wrong, he doesn't like human existence; but more precisely he did not like the existence of weak creatures.And according to him, myself and also Yoru are two of the humans who caught his attention because of our strength; That reason made Indra not mind teaching me some martial arts techniques. Then he also mastered all the Beastmen martial techniques, which I also learned; and that's what made me like him.I
"Arrrghh!!"We heard the screams of the angel, and a surge of mana was also felt when he screamed bringing both Zarias and I to their knees.For us sinner skill users, we know very well that the mana he cast contains holy magic, but I didn't expect it to bring us both to our knees. Luckily there was Hana who immediately protected us with her root magic so the mana wave was quite difficult to penetrate.With my right eye, I could clearly see the angel stabbing himself in the chest; then he pulled out his heart full of blood and sparks. After squeezing its own heart, the angel seemed to be in pa
By trying everything I could, finally Hana managed to escape the influence of the Angel's magic; and I'm so relieved that nothing happened to her. However, we still have a big problem, which is defeating that bastard Angel; in fact I would love to kill him if possible.I realized that it must be very difficult, even Zarias who I knew as the strongest being until now was still fighting him. But I'm not going to feel pessimistic, because the current situation will definitely change; two True Dragons and a sinful skill user would definitely take down that Angel.Isn't that right, Greed…?[
When I was in front of the Lion and Phoenix, they both immediately looked at me with very sharp eyes. That was only natural, since I had just killed one of their comrades; although I don't know actually the three of them consider each other colleagues or not.The wings of the Lion had recovered, as well as the Phoenix which had returned to its original form; that is a giant bird covered in fire. One of the advantages possessed by Celestial Beasts is fast body regeneration, therefore I immediately aim for the head of the Sheep when I want to kill it.Creatures that had the ability to regenerate were more troublesome than anyone else, but they had the same weakness; namely in the head. Because if
I was really annoyed when Mother just told me to stay in this place, while my sister was taken away somewhere by the Angel. I was annoyed, but I also realized; indeed only I am suitable to look after this place while Mother and Yoru are not around.I understand why Yoru has to go, Hana can't be separated from him; even Yoru who really isn't afraid of anything; so he would definitely beat up the Angel. But I was quite surprised when Mother chose to move by herself, she is the laziest creature I've ever known; although it is also affected by her Ultimate Skill.If she chose to move, it meant that the Angel was a threat she was quite wary of. Mother is a very simple creature, she won't move on any
"Master Kenny, order the barrier division to focus the barrier magic on Elenin City, and you! Come with me…!""Where are you going, Your Majesty…?" Asked Mr. Kenny."Elenin City…!"I could see Mr. Kenny's shocked face when he heard my answer."Isn't that too dangerous…?""Indeed! But I'm sure my power will be indispensable…"
I Don't Care About Hero Stuff
“Your Majesty, I will give a report…!”I immediately nodded my head, and the soldier in front of me immediately read the paper he had brought from the start."According to the reports from the scout troops around the Star Kingdom, the Sun Empire left the Kingdom early this morning; and they also left in large numbers, which means that the war between the two of them has ended… that's all the information I've conveyed…"*Sigh…* It was good that they finished the war…
Somehow I feel a bit relieved because of that, and I'm sure Zarias also feels the same way; I could tell because my right eye connected to her. But the problem now is how to hold Hana's body for a long time, so that I can freely be inside her mind."Raaarghh!!"Hana opened her mouth in front of me, and it looked like she was about to use [Dragon Breath], so I immediately flew away. There was no way I could block or deflect the attack from a very close range, that's why I deliberately took distance to be able to anticipate the attack.*Whoosh!!!* The attack rushed towards me, with a very strong
A wide expanse of land can be seen as far as the eye can see, whether it is in which area; but I have a guess that this place is the Demon's territory. It came to my mind after receiving a lot of information from the Skywing and Elves who were assigned by me to spy on the Demon's territory; also from Queen Medusa.But I don't really care where this area is, because I only focus on one thing that is in front of me. Namely Hana who Zarias managed to find; but her current state is very strange, because she's been in her Dragon mode all the time and doesn't seem to recognize me.Not only Hana, in this place Zarias and I also met a creature that Zarias called Seraphim; or the highest angel in this w
