243

Thanks to Shuttle, we escaped Shia safely.

"The forces of evil are gone?"

"Yes."

Now that the capable Shuttle had become an observer, he began to assess the situation.

"Why?"

"Well Please wait a moment. I'll check right away."

I waited for Shuttle, who began to mutter and pray.

Isn't there an old saying, "The faster you hurry, the slower you go"?

I am a patient person who knows how to wait.

"Is it ready now?"

"Justa little more"

I looked at Hill, who was muttering and praying to the gods.

It's not ready yet. It's too slow!

-It's been a minute!

-Isn't a minute enough time to pray?

-Don't you think so?

As expected from a self-proclaimed goddess.

It seemed like she didn't know how easy it was to pray because she never prayed to others.

Praying is easy.

1. First choose the subject of prayer.

2. Speak your desires.

3. Ask for them to be granted.

That's all it takes to pray.

One minute should be enough.

-Even if Master Even if Master were born as an ordinary person, the gods wouldn't answer his prayers.

-That is true.

I nodded as well.

Even if I was an ordinary person, the gods wouldn't have listened to my words.

"I don't have any money."

"It's not about that"

Suddenly, Iron Bat returned in the form of a little girl and started kicking me without permission. How annoying.

"Normally, the gods only listen if you give them a lot of offerings!"

"But what did you do to the gods? You didn't do anything wrong, right?"

There aren't any even now, that former disciple of mine has become the Demon King and keeps pestering me.

"That has nothing to do with the gods, right?"

"You need someone to blame."

"But why should it be the gods?"

"I don't know."

I don't know. It's because the gods looked hateful.

I don't know. It's because I got stuck with the Demon King.

"I have to speak up."

When I hummed a song, Iron Bat let out a deep sigh.

"It hurts."

As she sighed, Iron Bat's speed of kicking me increased.

"You're hitting me yet it hurts."

She complained while hitting me, but her attacking power was too strong for me to hit her back in return.

This brat She used to hit others, but now she's getting stronger and stronger!

"Hitting has its own technique, you know."

"Of course!"

She stopped hitting me when I praised her a little and started boasting.

"Did you find it?"

"Just a little more"

Damn Nature God. He has so much to say.

"I found it."

"Were you listening?"

"Huh?"

I looked at Shuttle's face, as if she was aiming for the timing when the prayer was about to end. She seemed slightly flustered, but it seemed like a coincidence.

"What did you hear? Tell me the contents."

"Understood. According to the Nature God's words, the forces of evil quickly invaded the borders of the Royal Kingdom of Loral and were wiped out by the forces of the Karan Empire, whom they coincidentally encountered. Afterward, they sent their forces several more times, but they couldn't defeat the forces of the Karan Empire."

"Is that so?"

Finally, the effect of sending Miria was beginning to show.

"How much did the forces of evil decrease?"

"They say about half of them were annihilated."

"Really?"

The number of enemy forces decreased more than expected.

Half of them, huh? The Empire's forces must have also decreased significantly.

"What about the losses of the Karan Empire?"

The forces of evil were a replenishable army if there were beasts or monsters nearby. There were even records that ordinary trees or rocks could be turned into monsters if exposed to evil energy for a long time.

In contrast, it would take several years or even decades for the Karan Empire's forces to replenish their troops.

As a Demon King, it would be a good cost-benefit ratio if ten monsters could capture just one soldier of the Empire.

So, if the losses of the Karan Empire were worse than expected, we would need to revise all the plans.

"There are no losses."

"Hmm?"

In the past, it might have been different, but my child has shown great independence since the last incident.

Yes, our bloodline may not continue, but she is still my daughter.

My child carries the bloodline of escape in her DNA!

No matter what her name is, if she sets her mind to it, she can escape!

I need to remove the evil quickly and wait at the Demon King's Castle on the mainland to meet again.

So, the task I have now is

"Where is that hero?"

Once I defeat the evil and make plans to return to the mainland, everything will fall into place.

#13 Their Circumstances: The Circumstances of a Certain Hero

"Let's stop here for today."

"Understood."

The people in black around me nodded at my words.

"Is there a village nearby?"

"No, there isn't."

"Homeless again"

"Yes."

"I see. Then let's get ready before the sun sets."

"Understood."

As I finished speaking, I let out a deep sigh as I watched those who had disappeared.

"Should I run away"

I had heard the senior's threat not to run.

But who am I? I am not just anyone, but a disciple of that professor.

My body, no, my soul, cries out to run away.

If I flee to a quiet village in the countryside right now,

"The professor will come looking for me.

Tears begin to blur my vision.

Yes, I am listening to the senior's words because of the professor's order.

The Professor said,

"Protect Alice. If you can't protect her, find the means and ways to find that hero and get rid of him forever."

Get rid of him forever. This may sound appealing to some nobles who dream of immortality.

But to the Professor's disciples?

They would rather enter the flames of hell.

If it meant killing him, even if it meant taking risks and running away, I could do it. But when he said to get rid of him forever, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

"Damn it! That blond guy!"

I can't just drag Hill all the way over there and run away for no reason.

Hill is a saint of the Order of Nature God. And I am a hero of the Order of Nature God.

When Hill prays, I will be able to know my location in real time, just like an apostle of the evil spirit.

If Professor appears and I run away alone?

I will live. I will live forever.

I tried my best to stop the fight between Senior and Alice, but Professor wouldn't believe it.

First, I will endure the pain of the Iron Bat,

"Aaah!"

Such a scream

"What are you screaming about"

Scary.

Cold sweat began to trickle down my back.

"What's happening Haaaaaah!"

"What are you saying?"

"Aaah"

I could hear a sound, whether it was a whimper or a scream, I couldn't tell.

The sound was getting closer. But I couldn't move.

Even though my mind was telling my trembling body to move, my terrified body couldn't follow my mind's command.

And a moment later,

"Fortunately, you were nearby."

"Hero"

With a rustling sound, two familiar men appeared.

"Hill"

"I'm sorry."

I looked at Hill with resentful eyes, but he avoided my gaze.

It couldn't be helped, he knew that better than anyone, but I still felt betrayed.

"Why Why did you come?"

I had a feeling he would come one day, but I didn't expect it to be so soon.

"There's something we have to do."

"What is it?"

My question made the professor ponder for a moment.

And after a moment of silence,

"Become a hero."

Professor told me to become a hero after calling me a hero.

I had heard that bitter things are good for the body, but I had never heard that they hurt.

"First, we have to deal with those guys."

The blond beauty, who emitted a golden aura of a hero with his pure white sword, was not afraid even when facing hundreds of enemies.

"Wh-Who are you?"

I asked him with a trembling voice as I approached him, and he answered without turning around.

"I am Hero Sven, the man who will defeat the demons."
