The Greatest Hero Zack Draven

Chapter 10

After that, I leaned against the tree while treating my wound, not only clawing at me this devoid-of-morals goddess also bit me.

I can see the marks on my skin. While I groaned in pain, she showed me her chest.

"How does it feel? Now you won't dare to be rude to me again."

"Don't expect me to respect you."

"Ara... Ara… you keep attacking my chest; I'm a little sick because you hit it."

"It can't be helped if it's too big for me to move."

"Reason."

I created water magic to splash her face until she screamed cutely, then rubbed her face on my shirt.

"Stop the strange goddess; stay away from me."

She looks away cutely; to me, she's only beautiful when silent.

"It's time to finish off one more."

"Use me gently."

I put my mask back on and then took Olivia, who had turned into an entire sword; with a slight jump, I appeared in front of the demons.

***

"You showed up too, so you're the one who was reported to have brought down the city we've taken over."

"Exactly; I guess now it's your turn to die."

"Attack him."

Ten low-class demons attacked me simultaneously, and they simultaneously shot various magics, which I completely parried with my sword.

"What's with that sword?"

"I heard your name is Belphegor, and I want to see how strong you are."

I stepped forward, and every time I swung my sword, it killed the demon well; Belphegor backed away to keep his distance from me. He let out a flare which he shot into the sky.

"What's that?"

"Just something interesting, we think you are the biggest threat by lighting this, then the Northern Demon Lord will join in to attack here."

"So?"

I dropped my sword down, and it defended the ground to form a chasm; Belphegor managed to dodge it until my slash only split the trees behind him.

"If that's what you do, I'm grateful for this; I don't have to bother looking for her whereabouts anymore."

"You arrogant human, I'm also enough to finish you off myself."

Belphegor slid forward, and he created a sword out of the darkness, which hit him directly; I held it in well, then retaliated as fast as I could. Each swing creates a spark in the air.

"Show all your abilities, you lowly human."

Just as I stepped, I suddenly stopped by a magic circle that appeared under my feet.

"Die you."

A fire burned me to create a giant pillar that pierced the sky; when the post disappeared, I was still standing with steam rising into the air.

"How come it's a level four fire."

"I don't know how many grades there are for fire, but it looks like my water magic can withstand it."

"This doesn't make sense, and water shouldn't be able to withstand fire...water?"

"Woe to Zack, he noticed... quickly kill him," Olivia cut in.

"Impossible? No way, the Evil Goddess Olivia has resurrected."

Belphegor used his wings to fly into the sky, and I chased him with all my might. He turned around and shot fireballs at me; after dodging them, I used strengthening magic to speed up my movement.

My sword pierced his back as well as his heart.

"Damn it," he said as he vomited blood from his mouth before the demon's body fell.

"The one just now was almost Olivia."

"Aah, it wouldn't be strange if an Arc Demon or the like knew about me."

"All right."

"Wait, didn't you just call me Olivia."

"That name sounds better."

"Just call me Olivia; I plan that my husband is the only one who can call me by that name."

"I understand. I'll be as careful as possible not to repeat it; let's go back and meet Caroline and Cecilia."

"You seem to be trying to deny my existence; hey, answer me, Zack."

"Hmm…"

***

I appeared right in the city, and there, everyone started to be evaluated a bit to escape the wall.

Caroline, who had finished asking everyone to go, asked me, "Zack, what was that just now?"

"I saw an incredible red light," added Cecilia beside her.

"Looks like the demon lord will also come here to attack us."

Cecilia had her thoughts, "If he comes here, the territory is not guarded. Isn't this the right time to steal the demon king's wealth? Imagine how much money we will get to eat, buy clothes, continue eating, and so on. Woah…"

I sometimes forget this dragon can do anything for money and food.

***

Far from the top of the wall, I could see a swarm of demons approaching from all directions; as I said, their number was 50,000 or more. Among them were the Arc Demons as well.

As they approached the hole covered entirely by the earth, they fell, and all that awaited them was the pain of a bamboo stabbing their bodies. At the same time, the troops stand by with bows and arrows and shoot the demons in the air.

Olivia, who was in her sword form, said, "This is going to be a great fight."

Just like what she said, this would indeed be like that. Beside me, Cecilia stared at the devil like a dish of food.

"I'm leaving, have a good meal."

"The truth is I'm going," I said weakly.

Cecilia threw herself down while the liberation troops used ropes to slide down, and they drew their swords at the demons.

Delaney's training has made them good fighters.

I turned my gaze to Caroline, who nodded in agreement; when I extended my hand towards her, she took a bite and sucked my blood into her throat only after she finished licking it, so the wound from the bite disappeared.

This is a vampire technique that Olivia taught her; after taking blood from someone then, it will double Caroline's power. She raised both hands, and simultaneously, I created a barrier to cover the entire city.

"I am done."

"Good job Caroline but next time, bite me gently."

"Sorry, this is my first time."

After drinking blood, Caroline will get used to it, and if it were me, then I wouldn't mind being bitten by her more than by this goddess. It feels better than her.

Let's put that aside for now; I jumped down, feeling a gust of wind hit my face. I landed with a slight explosion of dirt at my feet.

"Time to eat, Olivia."

"I will eat their souls, and they must taste good."

The more I kill, the stronger this sword will be, including myself; this skill belongs to the greed skill. I'm sorry. Besides the [Magic Tree] skill, because this goddess is evil, my particular skill is the seven deadly sins.

Now I'm even darker than the demon lord I'm dealing with. I slashed at them quickly as if cutting paper; with the skill effect [Gluttony], I got that infinite amplification like the status of the opponent I killed became my own.

As long as this skill is active, then I become strong instantly. The time alone is only about 15 minutes.

"Eating out."

The uncontrollable Cecilia turned into a dragon, and the liberation troops were immediately shocked.

"Why is there a black dragon here?"

"I don't know, and the important thing is that he's on our side."

"That is true."

"Everyone stays alert."

"Well."

I'm a little surprised that Elena and Delaney joined this war even though I refused; I can't do anything now. Five Arc Demons flew above me and shot out black balls together.

I snapped my fingers and their magic instantly shattered. Sin skill [Laziness] effect removes any enemy attack, including curse magic or holy magic.

"What?"

"Don't think only you guys can fly."

I jumped into the air quickly; after passing the five Arc Demons, they fell with their bodies intact; on the other hand, the troops began to weaken.

I said to them, "Everyone backs off; get back up the wall."

Following my directions, they started climbing back up. I see Nova has struggled quite hard.

We couldn't enter through the main gate because if we did, there was a chance that these demons could also enter.

However, Caroline's protective magic is weak in that parts are not very strong; it's like spreading your mana in all directions evenly, although it can still be challenging. I will reduce the power by channelling from one starting point to the endpoint.

Since demons can fly, I asked Caroline to strengthen the upper part so that the lower leg around the main gate is fragile. It doesn't matter since I've made countermeasures.

I climbed onto Cecilia's shoulder and said, "You've eaten a lot, now do your job."

"Okay, but I'll be hungry again if I do."

"I'll give you plenty of food later."

"Okay."

Cecilia created fire from her mouth and then spit it out like a moving laser engulfing the demon's entire existence. Some frightening monsters started running to escape, but of course, they couldn't do that.

Cecilia's power had annihilated many devils; all that was left of them was ashes and fiery craters everywhere. Now the only person I have to face is the demon lord.

"I am hungry."

"Wait until it's all over; now it's my turn to fight."
