"Haa!"*Baam*
"Yaa!"*Boom*
"Haap!"*Clash*
"Hoh!"*Bash*
In an area filled with nothing but trees, exclamations, along with the sound of crashing, were heard one after another. From the sound, it felt like someone was using their force to bash something.
The area was filled with trees; nothing could be seen due to the density of the trees, but there was a single area inside that lush forest that didn't have a single tree.
It looked like a naturally created space.
There were no trees, or even a weed, in that area.
The only thing in that area was the owner of the exclaiming voice and a white and black-colored dummy that was filled with scratches.
The owner of those yells was a boy who seemed to be no more than 19 years old.
He had blonde hair and brown eyes.
The boy was not very big; his build was that of an average human, around 175 cm.
His face was clean, without a single blemish.
He was not devilishly handsome, and neither did he look cool, but if someone were to ask, then any woman would say that he looked adorable.
He was cute enough to melt the heart of any girl, or at least make it so that no girl would be offended by him quickly.
His body was neither bluff nor thin, he was normal in every aspect other than his face.
Right now, he seemed to be using all of his efforts to slash the wooden sword at the dummy in front of him.
His strikes caused the wind to move away, and every slash that landed on the dummy caused a shockwave to get released from the center.
The shockwave was not very big, but it was strong enough that if anyone was standing in the vicinity, they would at least have their hair waving in the air.
But the fact that the dummy was only getting scratched, even though it was also made of wood, was more shocking.
It was clear that the dummy wasn't normal, just like the boy.
'I can do it!'
The boy, however, just clenched the wooden sword tighter, determined to cut through the dummy with just a wooden sword, but...
*Crack**Shatter*
With a crisp sound, the sword broke in the next clash.
"Wha...
Not again...."
The boy let out a shocked voice, as he looked at the wooden sword, which was shattered into pieces, before he just sighed.
"Sigh..."
He let out an audible sigh and threw the sword backward.
*Clatter*
But the broken sword made a clashing sound as it tumbled on a heap of broken, wooden swords.
She looked tantalizing, to say the least.
So much so that the boy, although called her master, still harbored feelings for her.
Yes, he hadn't been with her for long, but he still liked her more than a master.
"U-Um, master...?"
The boy, embarrassed by the unblinking stare of his master, finally questioned her while fidgeting.
His face had a rosy tint, while his head was toward the ground.
"Come with me.
We might be able to see the demon king today."
Viessa finally spoke again before she turned back, moving out of the forest.
The boy, however, stood frozen in his spot.
"Wasn't the coronation still some days later....?"
The boy muttered with a tilt in his head, but then an image of a certain black-haired and blue-eyed girl flashed in his mind.
'Let's go!'
Just that image filled his body with energy, and he rushed behind his master.
He waved off his concerns about the demon king as he rushed toward the castle, where he could find the girl who stole his heart at first sight.
He was the hero who was summoned by the empire of Solaris to save them from the demon onslaught, Eric Reeves.
'He really is a monster.'
Viessa, who was ahead of Eric, sighed inwardly as she muttered those words.
*Clatter*
The scene then shifted to the broken sword that Eric threw at the heap of swords as it tumbled down.
*Clank*
The sword stopped as it reached the bottom, but...
*Woosh*
A wind blew as the view that Viessa had seen finally came to light.
There were 5 more clusters of broken swords behind the one shown before, and all of them were larger than the one in front.
They were not visible because of the lush, green and large trees in the vicinity, but they were still there.
'All of this in just 5 hours...'
Viessa sighed again, but there was a light shining within her eyes.
A light of hope; hope that their situation would improve if things went on like this, and Eric got time to grow.
