Thanks to the fire explosion that occurred right when we were about to clash, I was able to win. The fire explosion offset his attack and allowed me to land my strike perfectly while his…
“Half of the castle…damn.”
A whole side of the castle as well as the mountain behind it are destroyed. Most of the debirs are encased in ice as well. Though I can’t see all of it since it is nighttime.
“You…betrayers…”
Warren is heavily wounded. His demonized side is bleeding all over while his stomach is open. His face has completely turned back to that of a human.
“I should hurry up.”
I don’t know about me, but I am sure the other people fighting are still having a hard time. I wouldn’t want to find myself alone against all the flooding monsters once the knights and soldiers are submerged.
I go to the commander

The smell is pretty awful here, after all.” David immediately starts off with his usual verbal bullying. He must have missed it since we came here. Has been a month? I think it has been about a month now.“I guess you just came to talk.”“Talk?” He gives a gold coin to the soldier who takes it with a smile and leaves. Then he brings out a whip from a bag he had concealed under his clothes. “You are a maggot, a parasite that keeps crawling back when it is supposed to quietly disappear. What can I talk with such inferior being?”Saying so, he uses the whip a first time but it hits the bars of the cell instead.“You should open the cell first if you want to do this.”“Shut up!! Stop trying to act like you aren’t scared. I know that you are!! You always were!!”He uses it again and it hits the bars another time. This guy must have bottled up a lot of pressure. I didn’t

“Ohh…Then you both will face the judgment of the one truly God.”He then turns and leaves with the head priest. Three knights come and push through the torn bars of my cell using their aura.That’s one needlessly demonstration of strength. After that, they pin me down and chain me. They raise me and one of them carries me like a bag, placing me on his shoulder. While he passes through, I see Warren receiving the same treatment.We are both carried through corridors and hallway, then into the sun. The knights step into a courtyard and while they are walking with us, I see soldiers and people who are looking at me with disgust. All the people here are wearing fancy clothes though. I wonder where we are.“Warren, do you know this place?” I ask him since the knight carrying him is right behind me. I could say it is weird since it’s like I am talking to his butt.“It is most likely the capital of the prin

A bit more than an hour later, we are still at the court. A lot of people have been speaking now. Telestal and Emilia included. But to my surprise, David hasn’t said anything yet. Even Ian spoke in my favor, together with other heroes and even people I don’t know. But as you would guess, all their testimonies have been somehow considered invalid. If I was you guys, I would leave it be and let this thing finish. Those guys just need to put what happened on someone, that’s all. Which reminds me, where is the king?“Hero David…. You may speak.” Ah, finally, you have raised your hand as well. Let’s hear you use one of your best qualities: your speech.“Dear people of Bazel. My name-”“His testimony cannot count; this guy was bullying him for years!” Dammit. Sarah intervenes and stops him in his track. A huge vein pops on his forehead and he almost jumps on her. But Emilia being close seems to prevent

His shining eyes are constantly changing colors, creating a phantastic mix that I can’t help but look at while being amazed. At the same time, he is oozing with the same energy as the head priest.I don’t know why but it feels like the time has stopped. I can barely move my body. I can’t even move my head to check if other people are seeing what I am seeing as well.What was I trying to prove? Who push me into such an absurb situation? Yes, it is that bastard!! All of this is because of him!!! If only he was never here!!“Sacrifice. My master has asked me to come and personally deliver you his message.”The dragon speaks and his voice is so powerful I am almost forced to go on my knees. But somehow, at the last moment, my body resists without my consent. Why can’t I just go down? What is the point of resisting something against which I can’t win? What will it bring to me?! Just go down, fucking body of mine!!

I excecute the second stance then the third but when I am about to use the fourth one, a voice comes to my ears.The voice of the woman who was using the dance of the wind earlier.“Your left foot is misplaced. Correct it by five degrees.” She is whispering, though.I look back at her and the flames extinguish. Shit. She is still kneeling with her hand crossed like the others. Aren’t they tired?“You have seven minutes left, sacrifice.” And this guy won’t leave me alone at all.I restart everything from the beginning and when I reach the fourth stance, she almost says the same thing but I correct it before. I continue with the fifth and sixth, at the seventh, she intervenes once again.“Right hand, to the left a bit more.” And I am forced to stop and restart again.This woman, whoever she is, is more precise than him. It’s surprising but I guess it is normal since she is from this

I don’t know if it is because we asked our question at the same time, but I felt like time stopped for a moment. The woman then walks to the thrones and sits at the end at the far left.“I have asked you a question.” Don’t ignore me like that.She crosses her legs as elegantly as she can and takes an intimidating posture but with her look, she looks pitiful at best.“Should you not present yourself first if you wish for answers?” The way she speaks is…solemn. I feel like I am compelled to answer without thinking too much.“I am Will Otun.”“Will Otun? A coward then.”“What?!” Who are you to call me a coward?!! “I am no co-”“Are you a wandering soul? Or did he send you to check on us? You smell like him after all.” A wandering soul?“Isn’t this the after life? I thought I was dead.” Could it be that this isn&

When I come to again, I am back at the castle. The dragon is standing before me and nothing seems to have changed. I look around and most people are still in the same state.“You have given away half of your life for the sake of succeeding. I shall at least acknowledge your resolve.” The dragon speaks to me but now, his voice feels less threatening, it is less powerful to my ears.“Just wait a little more, okay, Viltrax?” When he hears that name, the dragon’s eyes shine even more. His wings flaps a little and he shows a huge smile, even revealing his teeth now.“I see. So it might start, huh. I shall go and tell my master, that your judgment was pass down.”Viltraxx flies up and goes back inside the hole. Then, the sky returns back to normal and everything with it. The weird air around that was filling the place disappears as well.At the same time, a window pops up before me.[You have been

Under the head priest’s order, the soldiers advance with their spears but they meet a wall of ice blocking them. I am really surprised, how come this guy is using…Wait, is it truly magic? Could he be doing something similar to me? Does it mean he is the heir of water? Or is it just a remaining magic from his demon’s side. “It is the people commanding this church who brought into a bottomless pit of despair a hundred and twenty years ago. Even now, I cannot believe that my blood, that the blood of my clan survived, to the point that a hero is even born with it.” Saying so, he turns and looks at Sarah who looks back at me with a bewildered face full of surprise. “I know nothing.” Why does she look at me when I am not the one speaking. “Everything you say is blasphemy!!” The head priest’s voice resounds beyind the ice then the part where she is breaks with an explosion. While dodging the blocks that fly at us, I see her holding that same thing from before. “Hero

HIRVIN OTUN POV:“Sigh…”Walking really is tiring. I have been walking for a week and it is seriously getting tiresome now. It’s true that it helps me as well since I got to hear some news here and there on my way to the capital.The most surprising one I heard was about Stephenson, he was sighted near the capital as well. The travellers talking about him said that a pervert was seen chasing a woman, butt naked, with only his top armor on. It could have been anybody but the description of the armror matches his too much.As for the other rumors, one was about a hole that suddenly appeared in a city where there was a fight among heroes. I didn’t know those brats fought among each other to the point it was known to the public. I wonder who it was. Surely, Tennessee’s daughter was involved. She is taking too much after her mother; no, actually, from both parents. Especially the tendency to involve in everything thing, eve

I can’t even tell I manage to survive their assault the first time.Even now, more than two weeks later, they are still on my tail. Whenever I rest for more than four hours, I can hear them coming, stomping on everything as they look for me.If I was alone, I would probably fight them, but sadly, I am not.“Even after carrying you around for all this time, you are still heavy as hell.”I put the girl down near a tree with enough shade and sit to rest my back a bit.It is really difficult to carry someone who is unconscious.

“There is no way to go back other than the one known by the headpriest. Which reminds me, why are you guys here if the demon king has been defeated? Shouldn’t they send you back?”“How do you know the heroes are sent back when they have defeated the demon king?” This woman…she is starting to piss me off with her questions.“Calm down. Will’s master was a hero in this world as well. Isn’t that right?” Will, how much did you reveal to this guy? Did you trust him that much?Telestal looks at me and after I nod, the heavy atmosphere that was settling dissipates.“Then, can you help us?” One of the heroes finally open his mouth. It was about time, I thought you guys were mute.“Help you?” The whole lot of them stand up like a single body and move over to me.“Yes, bring us back, please. You came to pick up Will, right? Then bring us back!!”&ld

“Wait a minute, aren’t you Will’s father?” It seems Gordon’s son recognized me. I wonder when he saw me. I don’t remember hanging out with their children that much.“W-what?” The knight who was advancing to me turns around with a trembling voice then looks back at me with teary eyes. “Is it true?”He asks me as if it would change his whole life.“What do you-”“Are you truly his master?” He asks a different question now.“His master?” Wait, did he know Will? “Did you perhaps know him?”“I…” The knight kneels before me and lowers his head. “I am the one who failed to educate him when he came to this world. Should you blame anyone for his death, I should be the one to bear that grudge.”“Well, that was unexpected.”Since I found someone who knew him, I decided to stick with the group of heroes for

“Don’t falter!! There is not much of them left on this side!!”“Aim for the eyes!! The skin is too tough for the arrows!”When I reach the place of the battles, most of the houses have been levelled up by the monsters in the area. What surprises me is that they seem to come from the sea. Why and how were they able to swim to here? What even happen that could lead to this situation?“Why do I even think about it?”I run past the mercenaries who are fighting and grab one of the two knights who came earlier by the neck.“What is hap-”I don’t give him the time to retaliate in any way and goes through the horde of monsters coming while holding him.The trolls start swinging their arms as soon as I am near them.

“Get serious?” The Valkyrie frowns and a sudden fighting intent fills the place, making the air heavier. I guess I got her mad. “You arrogant little shit.”The knight with her grabs his sword with two hands and releases his aura to the fullest as well. Well, why not?“let’s see.” I release my aura completely as well and although it is a bit disappointing, I was already aware of the fact that the Valkyrie had a stronger aura.Sadly for her, it is not with the power of your aura alone that you can win a fight.“Be ready!!”“Yes!!”After screaming to the knight, the Valkyrie raises her hands and unleashes a powerful move full of aura. Sigh…You don’t seem to understand. Surely, they are waiting for me to use my skill and create a counter. You never even thought that I could have more than one skill.“That’s why it’s difficult to get serious wi

As she releases her aura, it creates a pressure all around me. Yeah, the Valkyries are still quite powerful.“But this is not really threatening.”“He is a hero!! Be careful!” Under the warning of the guy I was trying to kill just now, the Valkyrie stops and backs away immediately.“All the heroes were brought back to the principality of the god of law and balance for further training, why did you stay behind?”The other knigths join her back, only the guy I was sure to kill stays behind me.“Valkyire of power, I believe he is not with the heroes who came.” One of the knights start speaking with him. It would seem he was present during the summoning ceremony.“Eh? Then what? You are saying he came here by himself?”“I don’t know. But we will need to investigate.”From everything they just said, it seems they don’t know Will defeated the demon ki

In less than two minutes, he puts the fish on a plate and the pink color is shining even more while the fish smells really good. I remove my gauntlets while he prepares the dressing and puts it all around the fish.“Here you go.” He puts the plate before me and the smell is even more fragrant now.“Thank you.”“Wait!!!” Right as I am about to dig into it, the cook stops me, presenting me a small bowl of water. Oh, I forgot.“Sorry, I forgot a little.”“No worries.” The etiquette as they say. I wash my hands first then dig into the fish.AThis…this isn’t as good as I remember. It is true that it smells good but the taste isn’t as I remember. It used to be better. It used to be the best. So how come?“Sir, is there a problem?” The cook seems to be concerned about me. Why?“No, there is no problem.”“If there is anyt

At my request, the fog puts its finger on her grave once again but this time, Florencia appears. She looks exactly as if she was alive. How come?“Hirvin?”“Y-yes.” I am so surprised to hear her voice that I fumble and bite my tongue. I never thought she would look like this. “I-I-”“What is happening? This…I was not here before, and then I came back?”“It is only a dream, don’t worry.” I wonder how the place where you are now looks like. But I won’t ask. I shouldn’t ask.“I see. Well, it’s true that I do tend to dream a lot. I always had, right?”“Yeah, you were quite the big dreamer, quite the naïve one as well.”“Fufufu. You are always the same. You are too honest.”“Hehe. Not as much as you.”After I say that, silence falls and we don’t say anything for almost a minute.
