I sheathe my sword and take the stance of the dance of fire. I immediately start feeling hot all over as I do. A whirlwind engulfs me and the next moment, flames appear all around.
“Oh…You seem to have more than one skill. Interesting.”
“You haven’t seen even half of it.”
The commander raises his sword and as he brings it down, I pounce on him and punch as well. The real problem I will certainly face is to align the different stances and variations of the dance of fire. Because if I am right, as soon as I will fail even one of those, the effects will stop and I will have to start all over.
Our attacks collide and the cold from his aura freezes the whole area. The flames that are covering me don’t seem to be efficient enough to protect me as I can feel it as well.
“But it will enough!”
I immediately use the second stance and my kick almost reaches his face. He evades it at the last moment with a slight movement of the head. The third st

“Huff…Huff…” So this is the current extend of what I can do then. “I am impressed. You not only survive but you even managed to wound me like no other.” At the end of it, my attack manages to drill a hole through his ice and pierce his demonized completely. It didn’t cut his arm though so it is my loss. On my side, my arms are encased in ice. I can feel them anymore and everything around me is cold. I can feel the sting of this cold everywhere in my body. Still, it is frustrating. To know that I am so close to the top of that hill and I have to stop now. “I wonder what I was lacking.” “Lacking? Do you think you were lacking something?” The commander slices his ice wall and creates a path to me. Now that I think about it, it seems I was able to split the wall in two. I would like to say that I can take pride in this before I die but I can’t. The commander then stands before me and the cold is becoming hard to stand. I would like

I try to free himself from his grapple but Telestal holds me with even more strength and accelerates again. We enter the city through a gate and right after we do, a sort of light wall appears before my eyes. Telestal then falls and me with him. “Teles!!” Emilia and other people start rushing to him, pushing me to the side brutally. My arms still hurt like hell so I can’t even move them. *** “Teles! Stay with us!! Teles!!” Emilia has been shaking him for the past minute. Doesn’t she know that this makes him lose more blood? Well, I can’t speak because I discovered this by myself as well after getting wounded once. Wait, when was it? It must have been around the tim… “Will!” Sarah ignores the numerous people that are gathered around Telestal and runs to me. When she arrives, I can see how pale her face is. This… He said something about lack of magic once. I think this is how you are supposed to look when it happens. Whic

“Not really.” What’s with them now? I can walk on my own.I look to my left and I see Telestal being carried by a knight in a piggy back mode. It will be really funny to talk about this later.“Thank you. We were surely able to survive thanks to your sacrifice.” Ian says something weird out of nowhere. I knew it. This is annoying.I shake him and Sarah off and start walking on my own. Because of you guys, my arms will hurt even more. I better use the dance of fire as soon as we reach the castle.“What are you doing?! You are hurt! You can’t mov-”“Stop it.” Sarah is trying to make a scene and people are starting to look at us again.“Stop what? You need help, dammit!”“Listen and listen carefully. I am the one who choose my path. It is not your own. My hardships are my own and my weakness are mine to bear.”“W-what are you saying? This is

“Heroes of another world. Once again, we thank you for your aid on this fight that was certainly hard.” The king takes the floor and starts speaking to us with no interest whatsoever. This guy is pissing me off. “I always heard from the stories that almost half of the heroes who head out to fight against demons die during their first fight. But seeing you all here right now means that our knights were able to prepare you in the best shape possible.”“Kevin?”I suddenly hear a distant noise like an explosion. Sarah who saw me looking away anxiously pulls on my arm.“What is it?”“The king is looking at you.” She whispers to me and when I look the guy is fixating me.“You, in particular, young hero, have been the star of the day. I heard that you even went and face their commander, risking your life for us. For that, I thank both you and Sir Telestal without who it wouldn’t have

Does he seriously think anyone will help him after what he just did. Instead of minding him or the priests and knights that have started panicking as well, I go to Telestal and breaks his chain with my sword. The two knights who brought don’t even try to stop me.“You have sacrificed your arm for me. That was completely uncalled for. But thanks.” I help him stand back up and when he is on his feet, he smiles at me then place his hand on my head.“You are too young to understand.”“What? Hey, I am sixteen already, what do you mean, young, Aren’t you only twenty-four?”“Yeah, I lived eight years more than you. It’s enough to understand some things.”The atmosphere of the room gradually heats up as many people have their own emotions they want to evacuate.“Hiss!!”However, the spider doesn’t stay sit politely for long. It suddenly spurts a purple liquid

“You really know how to give goosebumps to people, you know.”“You should just learn to trust me.” Though, even I was not too sure of this one.“Yeah, I will.”“Sir hero, wait.” The woman who is able to use that odd power now calls me. I am not sure of it yet but it seems she is using the power of the god of law and balance, and it doesn’t seem to be magic.“What is it? We don’t have that much time to waste.”“Could it be that you are a real chosen? Were you able to speak with our god?”“Huh…I don’t know what you mean but I never spoke with whoever that is.”A real chosen? Does it mean all of us heroes who are here are just decorations or something?When we leave the room, Emilia follows me and Telestal together with the two knights who brought him.“You guys are ready to become renegates? You do know that f

“Don’t tell me to shut up!” Sarah jumps on me and grabs the collar of my armor, creating a road for the headpriest to escape inside. This girl is going to have me killed if I don’t pay attention.“Why are you so excited? You are not usually like this.” What is going on with her?“What? You don’t like it?” She looks at me as if I am forced to say no.“Frankly speaking, yes, I don’t. It is worse than back on earth. You and I have no relationship together, what is it that interest you so much about me? Weren’t you more friends with all those inside?” I think it is time to cut my ties with her before she starts becoming a hindrance.“What if I want to be in a relationship with you then?” She blushes all of sudden. Being a relationship with me? Wait…oh, okay.“No, it would stupid and a waste of time.” I don’t have that long to live because

“Is that him?” As soon as someone finally lifts his head, I ask Sarah to identify whether it is him or not.“Hm…I” It seems it is him.“Good.”I walk among to the others and reach the guy then I hold his arm and stick our bracelet together. It is extremely weird that it survived the ice from earlier but if it is a gift from their god, it should at least be able to do so, right?“W-what the hell?!”Our bracelets shine for a second then returns to normal. The guy and all the people around get surprised. While they start whispering, a window pops up before my eyes but I close it. I already know what it is going to say.“Let’s go.” I turn around and leave. Nobody will ask anything so I won’t explain anything. But it wouldn’t be good that I involve them in my problems, at least not if they want to. I stop at the door and look at them before leaving. David especia
