I go to the guy I killed an remove his armor. It’s not the best conduct to have but it is always good to have gear on. And his body’s size is close to mine so.
“That’s not very heroic, I would say.”
“I know, Warren. I know. Everything I will say right now will just be excuses.”
“Sadly, it is also the way of war. Heroes usually don’t last long.”
“Yeah.” Judging by his voice, I think Warren is trying to comfort me. I guess it is eating me up a little to do things like this.
It wasn’t what I was imagining when I dreamed of it, I have to admit it at least. But I am here now, and I must push forward to realize my wish.
***
A few days later, we reach another village. This one seems smaller than the previous one and when Warren comes back after scanning the place, it would seem there are no wanted posters of us here.
“But I heard something weird from t

It cuts through the air and when I dodge it, I have a familiar feeling coming from it. “Wait.” Now that I think about it, his aura was purple as well, right? “Oh, hell yeah!!” I release my first attack and she dodges it. While I use the second stance, she thrusts her sword but we manage to counter each other, a fire explosion occurs behind me. It creates a small shockwave that even pushes the valkyire backward a bit. “No!!” “Don’t attack!! Let me take care of him and take care of the other one!” It seems someone tried to make a sneak attack on me. I look to the sides and I already three guys on the ground, their arms encased in ice. Damn, I am wasting time here. I go with the third stance and the Valkyrie dodges it as well. The fourth one follows and she blocks it with her sword. A sound of a spark gets to my ears then she receives a lightning bolt. “Gyaaa!!!” She screams loudly in pain but still, she manages to jump out of it.

Now, it is rage that invades my brain, I will destroy. Everything, everyone, everybody. I will murder you all!! “Fucking dammit!” I manage to regain my senses by punching myself. “Fuu…okay, let’s-” “Are you okay?” I hear the Valkyrie speaking but I don’t think she is talking to me. Indeed, it would seem that hearing the girl behind her scream stopped her from continuing to attack me. She is carrying her as if the girl has fainted but I can see her eyes are clearly opened and looking at me. She doesn’t answer the Valkyrie for a moment but then finally shows signs of life by grabbing her hand. Wait…Don’t tell me that the heightened senses part is the same for her as well? The god of law and balance, no, the first hero is really a fucking bastard. “Are you okay? Do you hear me?” The Valkyrie releases her seeing as she is responsive but the girl doesn’t speak. She simply nods multiples times while trying to stand back up. How come I was fo

It was pretty obvious that the curse created by the guy who give us skills wouldn’t be suppressed by those. Else, he would look really stupid.“What are you doing?” The Valkyrie speaks to me while walking to the girl. When she reaches her, she reveals her arms and legs hidden behind the goon she is wearing.“I was testing something.”“Where you poisoned at some point?” I walk to her and the girl has multiples bruises and scars on her body.“No, it is worse than that.”“I knew it. She was an orphan.” The atmosphere around the Valkyrie starts going a bit electric.“Wait, is it always like this for orphans here?”“Yeah, in remote places like this, they are often mistreated. We try our best to provide assistance but there is only so much we can do.”“Right.”The girl’s eyes start twitching and then she wakes up slowly.

“Damn.” I never heard so much crap since the first day David started bullying me. One thing is clear though, the people of this world are most likely bewitched. And I can thank the first hero for that. “I hope I will be able to fullfil Efreet’s request fast.”Now that I have dropped my guard, I can only deal with what I have before me and try my best.“By the way, Valkyrie…”“Yeah?”“What are you going to do with the guys waiting outside?”After she released her aura earlier, lot of guys have started to gather at the stairs. Maybe they thought it was she was dying. In any case, it is high time I leave. I am sure Warren is waiting for me.“You should escape with her. If you two are soulmates, it is important that you stay together.”Saying so, she goes to the door and puts her hand on her sword.“Sigh…What have I done again?”<

Right when I finish speaking, Oriana falls to the ground, her body slightly twitching. And now, the back of head hurts for nothing. What is wrong with her now?“What did you say just now?” Warren has already moved to me and his face is right before mine. I can even feel his violent breath on my skin.“Wait a bit first.” I go to Oriana and she seems to be in a sort of trance. Her eyes are completely white.” Preventing her from hearing the truth, huh…”“What’s going on with her?” Warren comes as well and try to feel her pulse. “She seems fine. What happ…Come on, seriously.” He looks at me with a large but sad smile. The smile of someone who has found a buried treasure.“Yup. That guy is a real piece of work.”“Ahaha….Ahahahaha!!! All this time! How long were we fooled?!! Oh, dear lords!! Ahahaha!!”Warren laughs and cries at the same

“Hnrgh…” Oriana finally wakes up, brealing our conversation and my mood. “Anyway, what I have to do is clear. Almost impossible, but clear.” I look at Warren and he smiles even more, taking his meat back from the fire. “Defeat god, eh? Such an amusing and funny idea. I am in!” He bites a big piece of meat and starts chewing while the annoyance wakes up totally. “What are you guys talking about? Hey, hubby, I want some as well.” “Nothing that concerns you.” Calm down. No need to be angry. “She calls you hubby?” “Just leave her alone, Warren.” After we are done eating, Oriana stands up and comes to sit near me. This is becoming more and more irritating. “Don’t get too familiar with me, I am serious.” “Don’t you feel it?” “Feel what?” What is this crazy girl talking about? “The attraction between us. Don’t you feel that electric tension building up whenever we are close.” “Hm…Miss, I am pret

“Anyway…” I take the first stance and gets ready to receive him. He disappears again, almost and I strike to my left. Just like earlier, the feeling of punching the tip of a blade combined with an explosion tells me I was right.Then I use the second stance to block him from the right. He is really fast. But I can take it. With the third stance, I kick the air behind me but to my surprise, the guy ands on my foot instead.“Insolent little-”His blade aims for the shoulders joint of my armor but I manage to brush it off by spinning around. Sadly, it breaks the dance of fire and he still manages to cut through the steel. Part of my shoulder’s armor falls off while the commander lands five meters away from me. You are going to play hit and run with me, huh.“I never really liked games but why not.”“Do you want me to help?” Warren asks me from the side but there is no need.“No,

Under the cover of the sunset, we arrive at Lindell. It seems to be a big city judging by the high walls and the number of carriages at the entrance of the city.“But it is not well located.” The city is at foot of a mountain, making it easy to invade for whoever is standing where we are.“On the contrary, it is very well located.” Warren doesn’t seem to agree with me. “Look, everywhere else is a plain.”“Yeah, I know but-”“Lindell has never been invaded since its creation. Some people even call it the gate to the principality of god.” Oriana shuts me down as well and I am forced to stay quiet. But wait a minute…“Can you get off? You are heavy.”“Eh? Really?” She tries to play it cute so I release her and she falls on her butt.“Ouch! Hey!! What was that for?!”“I told you. You are heavy. My arms are numb from ca
