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 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
“This is very intriguing.” I thought the people coming were heroes but to my surprise, they were demons. What’s more, they are commanders. How come? The demon king was defeated without his commanders?The three of them are kneeling before me each of them with a weird shape. The one at the right is a spider woman. Everything about her tells she is a demon, except for her face. Her torso even has a second mouth, that’s really disgusting.The one at the center is a goblin. Though, he is far more impressive than a normal one. His skin is completely black and his eyes are red as blood. He is as tall as a human as well. None of the commander I fought looked like this. Though, even those wouldn’t be able to defeat me.As for the one at the left, it is a troll. Though, just like the goblin, his skin and eyes are showing clear difference. He is holding a sword as big as the Stephenson had on his back. Surely, he took it from a guy here. The
While I bring out my small and complete meal that only requires water, I hear the footsteps of horses coming. And it seems to be a lot of them. Couldn’t they have waited that I finish eating.A huge cloud of dust can be seen at the horizon while I rapidly gulp down my food and the group comes closer, I feel a weird power from one of the people coming. This power…it was the same that I felt after I finally managed to see and feel mana here, the power that was coming from the head priest that teleported us here.“Divine power…” Could it be that Susan is still alive? When we were teleported here, she wasn’t too old so perhaps she isn’t still alive. In which case, it would be obvious to start with her, right?I wait for the group and when they reach me, they stop, raising the dust cloud all around us. While it gradually settles, I identify on which horse the person I want is. When it settles completely, I see fifteen peopl
Ah, yeah, finally, a name that I remember. They told us that silk was traded a lot with another country and since it came through Albion, the port there was called the silk cost. Why did I even remember something so useless? Maybe it is because Florencia wanted to go there?“I see. Well, thanks.” I break his neck and let the body fall to the ground.“No!!”“Captain!!”His men once again release irritating noise of grief. But what for? None of them dares to move from where they are.[He has the potential. Accept him into the darkness.] The voice in my head starts blabbering nonsense.“Hey, I am not some demon king or whatever. I am not accepting anyone or anything.”[The world is-]“I know what the world is. But I don’t need any follower.”It continues speaking but I turn around and continue walking. If that is how it was controlling the previ
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.
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
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
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
SARAH CAMPBELL POV:“Huff…Huff…”How long have I been running? My legs, they are so heavy.After Will’s disappearance, I don’t think I have had any time to rest properly. 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
“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. How come?“Hey, aren’t you supposed to be controlling those?” Isn’t Blacky the spirit of the demon king? They should be attacking since he i
“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
