In the first blow, 30% of the Holy Army turned into blood.
He did not stop there and massacred an additional 20% with various abilities.
Although his face was hidden by a deeply pressed robe, twisted delight could be felt in his movements.
Please, spare us!
Oh Lord! Have mercy on your servants!
The remaining half lost all will to resist and scattered into the wilderness, fleeing to the back.
He seemed bored with such a sight, stretching lazily as he watched then turned his gaze upwards.
Lifeless pupils fixed on the zero of the sky.
For the first time, a deep smile crossed his lips.
!
There was a great distance between them.
But at that moment, Zero was certain they were gazing at each other.
And he realized what he intended to do.
From the back of his neck to his lower back, shivers ran down his spine.
Good materials have come to me.
Stop
Vvvvvvvv-
The holy power covering the battlefield vanished.
Heh, heh.
What, whats happening!
Nows the time! Run!
The survivors of the Holy Army looked up at the silent sky with a truck-like hope.
Was that demon going to show mercy?
If so, they didnt know if they could return home alive.
No, perhaps that monsters power had reached its limit.
However, how could such destructive force be sustained?
But one thing was certain, it was too early for optimism.
Vvvvvvvv-
Instead of holy power, what filled the sky was magic.
Mana from all over the world surged fiercely, and hundreds of magic circles appeared in the air at once.
Zero looked at them with bloodshot eyes.
The formulas that composed the destruction magic were too familiar.
No, they were so familiar that he could draw them with his eyes closed.
Zeros Dark Arts.
However, the one replicated was much more powerful than the original.
Vvvvvvv-
Magic circles aimed at the ground.
It was a moment when even the fleeing soldiers had no choice but to abandon even the slightest hope of survival.
No!!!
Zeros cry was drowned in a terrible roar.
He poured out all his magical power to erect a barrier and barely managed to block the initial attack.
But afterward, the magic circles the replicated hundreds of destruction magics continued endlessly.
Kwaaaaaah-
This was against the order of things.
It was irrational.
How could one person possess such power?
Zero murmured in dismay.
Error, this is an error.
Words, people, machinery, holy power, the desperate voices seeking divine mercy.Unravel the Unknown, Unleash the Unimaginable: N♡vεlB¡n.
They all disappeared without a trace amidst the endless barrage of destruction magic.
In less than ten minutes, there were no living creatures left on the wasteland.
There was only Zero standing still in the air and the approaching monster.
Zero realized that he had become much stronger than before.
And that terrifying growth seemed to apply even to the grudge he harbored against humans.
Swoosh-
As he approached, Zero finally removed the robe that had covered him up to his chin.
The moment I saw that face.
Whether the shock and despair he felt now belonged to Zero or to himself, the hero could no longer tell.
Its been a while, magician.
Mocking like a mirror reflection, a man who looked exactly like him laughed.
The flashback ended like that.
Understanding Zero Requiem deepens.
Understanding level: 2/100 -> 10/100
* However, it is an object that cannot be replicated.
Understanding of ??? deepens.
Understanding level: ???

After sending Rosalyn back to the Library of Memories, Larze stood before the hero.
.
It had been thirty minutes since he shared his memories with Memorize.
The hero sat in the same posture as before, staring only at the ceiling of his hiding place.
Although his expression was as calm as usual, his eyes seemed strangely empty.
Larze chuckled softly and then sat beside him.
Dont worry. Because you can pay in advance.

Looking back on it later, it was a moment when the second turning point of growth came after evolution.

Rosenstarks public communication room closed at nine in the evening.
As a result, Evergreen was forced out without being able to continue her communication with her parents.
Except for the communication immediately following the Forest of Martial Arts incident, it had been almost a few months since their last contact.
They were usually busy managing their territory, so she wasnt particularly upset
Hows your health? Its starting to get warmer in the west, so be careful with your food.
Honey, do you think Rosenstark is like our territory? Im sure the chefs there will take good care of her.
Hmm, isnt the training too hard? Dont overdo it. Well be proud of you even if you come in last place.
Honey! Our daughter wouldnt come in last place!
Evergreen bit her lip.
Anyway, Evergreen, hang in there in the foreign land. If you need anything, let us know anytime.
Yeah, dont worry about the territory! Were managing just fine. Ill pass on your regards to the kids.
Seeing the faces she missed so much after a long time made her worried, as they looked unusually pale.
She sighed heavily and sat down on a bench in the park.
It had been quite a while since she felt the warmth of breath not freezing even at night, thanks to the significantly warmer weather.
It was so cold when I first left Solintail.
After passing through winter and spring, summer was now upon them.
I wonder if Solintail is still cold.
Following the refreshing scenery of the grassland, the dry faces of her parents flashed before her again.
Solintail was a very challenging land to manage.
Adjacent to the Great Mountain Range, it had a higher density of monsters than any other territory on the western continent, and the climate was harsh.
Therefore, although Evergreen was technically a noble, she had never experienced a truly noble life.
The lords of other frontier areas seemed to be looking out for their own interests quite well even under adverse conditions.
However, unfortunately, the Solintail family has not been good at such tricks for generations.
If they had money to spare, Evergreens parents would repair the territorys walls or give consolation money to the families of deceased guards.
Well have to endure this years Wave as well.
Evergreen gazed at the sparkling night view of the academy.
Each day at Rosenstark was so enjoyable.
The food was delicious, the bed was comfortable, and of course, the training was tough, but
Real sadness and hardship rarely occurred.
But at moments like today, when reality hit her all of a sudden she felt uncomfortable thinking that she had just escaped from her hometowns difficult situation.
Three and a half years until graduation Was I too ambitious?
In the past, when she felt depressed like this, she would usually joke around with her friends to change her mood.
But lately, even that didnt seem to work.
Her closest friend was avoiding her, which made it awkward to even try to talk.
Oh, I suddenly remembered something I needed to do.
You guys go ahead and eat first. Ill practice a little more before joining you.
Night training? Im not really feeling up to it today.
It was so obvious that she was being avoided that it would be embarrassing to insist further.
Luke
Evergreen inadvertently thought of the boy.
His jet-black hair and towering height flashed before her eyes.
His large and strong hands.
Although he seemed sharp at first glance, his face would become silly when he smiled.
The last image was of him standing side by side with Leciel.
What if he keeps smiling like that!
Thud-
Frustrated, Evergreen kicked a pebble beneath her feet without thinking.
And in the next moment, she froze.
Ah
The pebble, which had been rolling along, stopped in front of someones foot.
Luke, with a very awkward expression, was looking at her.
Hello.
Oh, hi.
It was a bit different from the uncomfortable atmosphere of the past few days.
It seemed somewhat awkward.
Do you have a moment?
Uh, yeah? I-Im not sure if I have time?
Why was that?
Evergreen felt a strange sense of pride for the first time in her life.
And then immediately regretted it.
[PR/N: Its okay Evergreen, I dont have any luck in dating either ]
Fool, this was an opportunity to mend things.
She hastily tried to pick up where they left off, but Luke beat her to it.
He bravely asked for a little more time.
Just a moment. I have something to show you.
It was only then that Evergreen realized the boy was holding something.
The flask and instructions that the hero had given as an assignment, tightly gripped in his bear-like hands.
Ah.
The corner of Evergreens mouth twitched as she looked up at him.
