“We were hoping you would let them drink from that.” He shows the pillar of ice that is melting slowly under the sun.
“As I said, it depends.”
“Oh, but of course, we will compensate you. That is no problem.”
“Is that so. Then, it is okay.”
“We might as well all camp here for the night, don’t you think? I am sure you have disposed of all the sand eaters in the area anyway.” Ah, so those worms are called sand eaters, then. Well, with how they look like, I am too surprised.
“Why not? But you will be providing the food then.”
“Of course. You have already given us the most important.”
The guy then whistles with his mouth and the

I should watch out for anything she would say that could be unnecessary. She has a running mouth after all.“Really?”“Yes! To feel the emotions of you partner, to feel his desire… I thank the god of aw and balance every day since I have obtained this blessing. And I am even more happy because my husband is a very loving and caring man. Not a day pass without him showing me the proof of his love.”I am trying my best not to smack that girl’s head. What kind of delusions is she spouting out so nonchalantly?! But I am surprised, I thought she would say that I am a hero at some point but she is curiously choosing her words.“I see. That is indeed marvellous.” Meyer makes a sad face after hearing Oriana’s speech. How come?“Did you think it was anything different?” Warren has noticed it as well and directly asked him why he makes a long face like this.“Not really…I

His voice has also started to change. I guess the time has come.The camels restart moving and as we progress towards the city, my body become more and more tense.Oriana is also trying her best to prepare. She has already crossed her hands and is praying while advancing. Warren, if you haven’t betrayed us, now is the time to show it.At the entrance of the city, there are no guards. People are coming and going as thye please and I can see palm trees inside. Yeah, now I can’t hesitate, Warren has betrayed us.“You should try to hide somewhere.”“No, wait, what are y-” This time, I won’t let Oriana stop me.I go to the front of the line , get past them and stand before every single one of those demons.“What is this?”“Will, what are you doing?” You of all people would ask me what I am doing, Warren. That’s a first.“I won’t let you guys a

“What is this?” Before we leave the destroyed house, I give Oriana the drawing that I made when coming here.“I wasn’t sure I would be able to remember it with the passing time so I want you to keep it in case I die during this fight.”“Yeah, okay, but what is it?”“It is drawing of the summoning circle used by the people here. If you draw it on the ground and infuse it with your divine power combined with someone using magic, it should be able to summon people from our world.”“How? How did you obtain something like this? No one besides the chosen of the god of law and balance should know about this.”“Yeah, well, let’s just say I have it and I want you to keep it. If you can’t, then give it to Sarah when you see her. The only thing is that someone should have it in case I die.” I made a promise with him before he started training me. The only promise we have

Meyer takes a stance as well. Just like us, a thick fog start spreading around him. The air changes even more and everything seems to be darkening around us.“Fuuu…I hope you guys are ready for this.” I take the first stance of the dance of fire and it illuminates the area.Warren next to me creates spikes of ice everywhere around him. Sarah takes a stance as well and wind gathers around her gently at first then violently. Rapidly, her wind is caught by my fire and it intensifies, creating a small of tower of flames between us.“And I hope you won’t slow us down!” She answers me with a bit of cockiness. She really is getting full of herself.“Come!!”Meyer invites us and we all answer. I go first and the first stance doesn’t even appeal to him, he somehow deflect my attack like his body is a stream of water. My flaming punch only gets the air behind him.“Uagh!!” He then knoc

“Let see how you like this, then!!”The first, the second, the third, the fourth stance all land, then as I prepare the fifth, he raises his hand and strikes my shoulder.“Argh!!” No!! I won’t stop! I will not stop this time!I push through and land the fifth stance correctly, launching the demon king to the ground like a bullet. At the same time, lightning gathers around me, proof that the time has come.I fall on Meyer and land the sixth stance immediately.“It is not over yet!!” I fall down on him and pummel him hard with lightning. I can barely see the color of this lightning. Wait, I can barely see the color of anything. Is it the effect all the pain rushing through my brain?“Arg- Scryyaaaa!!!” As I hit him with the tenth stance, his scream changes into an hideous one, one of a real monster.He jumps from the ground where I am pummeling him but I still continue. I can’t

“Even though I chose to walk this path alone.” I am really pathetic, right? “Warren, what do you see we give your guy a good smack and send him off for good.”“Do you have a plan?”Right as he says that, the ice wall gets destroyed and the demon king is completely fine now. He is standing there, ready to go at it again. Really, this is probably the biggest obstacle I will face. I am pretty sure if I win this, the first hero will be a walk in the park.“Do it!!” Oriana’s voice once again resounds and right after, a song starts. No way…“You guys can’t be for real!!” She manages to convince those guys to come and play the song of the dance of fire. And you want me to lose? “You have to be kidding me!! Amplify Maxima!!!”The surge of power fills me up once again and with it, a violent headache comes.[Warning

And how come Will can fight him as if there is nothing to be afraid of? And this other guy using ice, who is he? I didn’t get the chance to ask him why we look so much alike when he was imprisoned with Will. Is he also a hero? This is becoming more and more confusing.Explosions resound every time he clashes with him. My body won’t even budge now. I tried to keep up with them a little but my whole body is freezing with fear.Suddenly, a bigger explosion tears through the air and by the time I look, I see something flying and landing brutally in the wall of ice made by the guy from earlier.“What was that?”Looking in the ither direction, I see a silhouette of a body ami

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

After I ran away from David’s father with the girl who is connected to Will, bunch of monsters started chasing me out of nowhere. 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

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.
