All this is so unreal. We initially came here to stop the advances of the demon’s army so that what happened before wouldn’t reproduce here but instead found a demon so strong even my new powers have no effect. 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

What do you see beyond the hill? CHAPTER 72: HOW LONG WILL I WAIT? (1)
“Sigh…Another wasteful day.” How long has it been now? How long has been since you died, Florencia? I hear the door opening and the walking sound of my pupil. Another one who has been caught in this endless spiral of vengeance. I would like to say that I feel bad for destroying the life of such a young one. But ever since that day, I swore to myself that I would never waver and do whatever I can to avenge you. “How was school today?” As he passes by me, I notice his uniform is once again dirty. He really likes to paly around with his friends. Well, it is better this way. It wouldn’t be good if he is too lonely. The purpose of this school I created with the money I received from Bazel was to regroup all the potential heroes after all. If they aren’t well consolidated as a group, they will easily break apart like we did. “Same as always, boring.” “I heard from one of your teachers that your results are the same so far as the other years as well.

The two of them came back and married less than a year after. Her daughter is a very precious candidate for my plan. That’s why I made sure that all arrangements were made so that she would go to my school and nowhere else.“Hello.”“You really never smile, do you.” Tenessee brings out a bill and gives it to Stephenson. Were they betting again.“Don’t bet if you already know me.” She looks at me with a bit of irritation as I answer her. Well, I only said the truth so.I sit near Stephenson since his wife is on the ither table. He is the only one among us who has become famous, rising a big company with the gold he received. Now, from what I know, he practically owns the town. I wonder if this bar isn’t his as well now. This guy always loved money to the point he was even ready to go back to Bazel in order to make more gold. Well, that’s why he is part of the plan.I take a glass of whisky

Back in Bazel, we fought a demon once and his blood sprayed on her. Ever since that day, she has been having headache whenever there is too much magic in the air. It is good that it confirms my suspicions.“Okay, I will send to you later.”“Can’t you give it to me now? Please, I have a date with Gabriel and I don’t want this to ruin it.”“You guys are married so what would happen if you don’t go on a date just once?”“Just give it to me. It’s not like a loner like you would understand or can lecture me about this kind of stuff.”“If you say so. Anyway, I will need time to make it so even if I wanted to, I can’t give it to you now.”“Shit. You are always useless when it really matters, you know that?”“Yeah, thanks.”She leaves but the smell of her perfume still lingers here, irritating me to the upmost.“Tch.” I wo

After that, I left my house and went to the mountain where I trained Will. The air feels less heavy here. While looking around, I notice how this place has changed in just the few years that we left it. Grass and rocks have covered the numerous holes that we left as we were training. The trees that were broken are covered by moss now. Nature really has power over everything. But more importantly…“Why does it take so long?” It has been more than two weeks already. Normally, they should have been sent to fight against demons and more than half of them should be dead by now.At this point, Will should be desperate enough to think of using the magic circle to summon me. How come he hasn’t done it yet? Could it be that he is dead? No, there is no way. I taught him any things, including the dance of the elements that was said to have incredible effects there. He should be alive. Maybe he hasn’t found someone with divine power the

Three hours later, the air becomes heavy. Rain is coming. And there is still no sign from the drawing. Oh well, there is no need to hope now. This guy was nothing more than a waste of time.I suddenly feel numerous presence moving towards me, all of them are releasing their magic without hesitation. Is that a warning. You guys can come, I am ready.“He is here.” Gabriel is the first to appear, wearing his armor from the time. Weird enough, his doesn’t seem to fit him. How come when mine is still a perfect fit.Tennessee comes right after him, wearing her armor as well. She seems to have the same problem. They look like someone just took scraps of metal and attached them the best he could on pieces of meat.The others aren’t better. Still, everyone is here, releasing his magic in the air with an impressive aggressivity.“I will ask you only once. Did you know or were you conned by someone?” Gabriel speaks to me wh

“Are you sure you got him?” The others start slowly walking to me. Gabriel seems to have recovered as well. Though, he is having difficulty seeing as Tennessee is helping him to walk.“You fucker. You will tell us the way to bring back our children.” Right after he says that, the sound of an helicopter reaches our ears. What took you so long, Stephenson?“That must be Stephenson. That son of a bitch is always late.” My body gradually seems to be recovering its mobility. Unlike earlier, my fingers can move now. But it’s okay let’s deceive them a little bit.“How can I bring my daughter back?! Answer me!!” Gabriel grabs my chest plate and tries to lifts me up. Well, I guess he is trying since I feel a bit lighter.“How would I know?”“Why did you send our children there?!”“You fucking lowlife!! I always knew you couldn’t be trusted!!”
What do you see beyond the hill? CHAPTER 78: YOU WERE JUST A TOOL
“What happened to you, boy?” I reach him with my hand but a lightning bolt strikes me, pushing me back far away. It also hurts. If I didn’t still have Adamant skin active, I would have lost my hand there. “What is all this?”I don’t remember him being that strong. So how? How was he able to surpass me when I am the one who trained him, who restrained him so that he could never reach a certain height?“This can’t be happening.”The sound of thunder pierces my ears as a lightning strike makes the ground shakes behind me. This makes less and less sense. It shouldn’t be like this. Before I can turn to look at what happened behind me, Will’s whole body turns black then lightning up like charcoal burning.“Ahhh!!” A fire incredibly hot then starts all around him. The guy who was stabbing him gets vaporized instantly.“You were just a fucking mere tool, dammit!!”That fir

CHAPTER 90: FIGHT IN THE CAPITAL (1)
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. I never knew a body could be so

“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.

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.
