Chapter 47 – Discover the Hero
Episode 47 Finding a Hero
“You seem a little surprised.”
A high-pitched voice sounds calm.
Ikarut twisted the tip of his chin. Is it because it is resurrected?
Something has changed. When I scan it fiercely to find the difference, Retina smiles incomprehensibly.
“Don’t ask me why I turned into this. I don’t even know what to say.”
“Looks like a lot has changed. Not just gender, but personality.”
“Ah, that’s right. Because I am Retina, the hero of this generation.”
“… Is that your current name?”
Retina shrugs her shoulders and crosses her arms.
Her earrings sparkle with her movements. An ancient relic was embedded in the center groove of her earring.
Sensing her gaze, Retina lightly fingered her earrings.
Her faint aura was sucked into her relic, and she was covering her presence.
“Isn’t it pretty? It’s quite expensive, so the performance was good.”
“Someone was helping from behind.”
“One notice is fast.”
Ikarut tore apart this dimension.
A demonic sword that appears as if it is roaring.
The tip of the sword soon headed towards Retina.
“The chase is over. Lex Etia. There must be enough resolution.”
“Ha… Am I Retina? Ikarut.”
Retina let out a short sigh, looking relaxed.
“It would be useless to kill me again. Actually, you know that too, don’t you?”
“Sounds useless.”
“The Demon World has already won. Even though the human world was conquered, you followed me to the end.”
“…”
“If the hero disappears from this world, isn’t war finally the victory of the demon realm? But as long as I’m a warrior, you can’t kill me.”
Get into a comfortable position with her hands on her waist and her hips turned sideways.
It was not the attitude she would take in the presence of a man whose life had been taken. Ikarut lowered his demonic sword to the ground.
Although the tip of the sword caused a slight earthquake as if in anger.
The owner of the sword did not waver.
“Yes, I know.”
“… What.”
A rare smile Retina’s face crumpled at the confident eyes.
“At the news of a new hero appearing, I had various options. And after meeting you face to face, I made up my mind to choose.”
“Oh, so what is your choice?”
“I will stop killing you right now.”
“What?”
Retina’s eyebrows were severely distorted.
Even Olivia, who was listening to her conversation, frowned at her. Still, the demon king’s purpose was unfathomable.
In an unpredictable attitude, the two set a tight boundary. It’s like watching a hissing cat, and my ally Lilith also watches with interest.
Bang!
An explosion was heard in the cave. Nancy and Lucy then ran one after another towards the entrance of the cave.
Nancy squeals at her with both her ears covered.
“Quickly evade!”
ㅡ Quaang!
An explosion louder than before. The entrance to the cave collapsed, and Lucy, who was running fast, got caught in her feet.
A gloomy aura supports her female body before she rolls down.
“Kuweek!”
Cuckoo! Great holy power. And the chokgoe that tried to escape penetrated the cave, but soon dispersed like smoke and erased the traces.
“I-over there, my sister… ! Sister!!!”
The monster and Lesilia were still in the cave.
Crying, Lucy stares in vain at the cave, where only remnants remain.
I was sitting like a statue as if my mentality had gone out. Then Lilith, who was nearby, pricked Lucy’s blood with her fingertip.
“I’m getting in the way, so I’m going to sleep peacefully♡”
“… Succubus…”
Retina, who happened to be sheltering nearby, glared at me. Lilith giggled at her murderous gaze and hugged Lucy’s shoulders tightly. She proudly lifts Lucy’s chin and strokes her cheek.
Then, facing her hero Retina, he starts provoking her.
“Are you the hero that Laura and the saintess were looking for?
“Don’t touch my little sister!”
“Heungheung~♡ Don’t you like it? Don’t you think it would be fun for him to be naughty like the other kids? If you want to have sex with your older brother, I think you’ll like it too♡ Did you know? I will remember you♡”
“—Shut up!”
Padduk! As Retina’s voice resonates loudly, the birds in the forest startle and flee over her expanse.
The hero’s spirit spread in an instant. She revived again, but her momentum did not go anywhere.
Lilith, a high-ranking demon, also sharply shed demonic energy. It was just before a fight broke out.
Ugh.
At that time, the shadow under Ikarut’s feet grew larger and larger. It expands the radius like a black swamp, and a person floats up. It was Saint Lesilia who lost her consciousness.
The neck strap that controlled her holy powers untied itself.
Ikarut lowered her vision, looked at the saintess lying down, and removed her neck strap.
Upon touching her hand, her neck strap crumbles like ashes.
“I managed to bring the saintess.”
The shadow of the dragon that brought the saintess.
Leviathan calmly reported the situation.
The saintess must have tried to rescue the humans who had been captured by the Chokkai.
Although she knocked out Chokkai with her huge holy power to the point of knocking her unconscious.
The cave collapsed.
And unfortunately, there was no sign of the surviving residents.
“You are still foolish.”
“… That selfless spirit of sacrifice is Lesilia’s strong point.”
Ikarut raised his eyes.
To save her humans, she alone and willingly gave her life.
Retina and Olivia seemed to feel sorry for such a saint.
Even the elves who don’t like humans.
Retina was not.
The main character in the game was a typical warrior personality.
He was altruistic, pushed forward with his firm convictions, and always showed a dignified appearance.
But now he was cynical and nihilistic.
“You look like a completely different person.”
“So do you. Ikarut, why don’t you kill me?”
Retina gave a slightly sad smile.
At that moment, a swift sign appeared in front of her eyes.
“Hero! The transfer magic circle is complete! Ouch, the timing is bad!”
“No, it came just right.”
The great sage Delphine lifted the tip of her hat slightly.
She winks and twirls her wand. At some point, the drawn magic circle was shining.
Sensing danger, Ikarut took her holy maiden and hurriedly rose into the air.
Kwak Kwa Kwak!
Lightning struck under the clear sky. It was exactly where the demon king was.
As the sandstorm blows, Delphine mutters something with her small lips.
A magic circle appearing under the hero and his party.
“Catch it.”
“Johnny.”
“Yes master♡”
Leviathan and Lilith run at high speed.
Olivia draws a bow at them.
Bang! Cooong! Kwak!
Multiple wind arrows flew, but Leviathan lightly blocked them.
And the quick-footed Lilith and Nancy’s hand-to-hand combat began.
The magic circle gradually lit up.
“Lesilia…”
The surroundings became mayhem.
Retina watches the saintess quietly cradled in his arms.
He looked sad and full of anger. Retina’s eyes blink slowly, and she climbs up.
Ikarut looked down at the hero in silence.
“Ikarut, you really don’t know anything about this world.”
“…”
“Oh, and don’t trust the saintess too much. This is not advice, it is a warning.”
Retina’s mouth twisted in an instant.
Soon, he secretly touches her earring, which contains her ancient relic, and then mercilessly removes it.
An earring that fell on the floor in a parabolic arc.
“Find it somewhere.”
Her disparate aura rides through Retina’s heart and reveals her twenty-twenty.
I pulled out the magic sword and looked like I was about to rush at it, but Ikarut stayed quiet.
Although the image of him holding the saintess dearly was uncharacteristically funny.
“As soon as we meet, I will pierce the holy sword into your heart with the saintess.”
Retina let out a bitter laugh.
Pababat! The light leaking from the magic circle embraced them.
Lilith and Leviathan stopped fighting and quickly got out.
“Oh my ♡ ran away~ ♡”
“…”
Ikarut landed on the ground. The saintess was breathing like a newborn baby, and she was comfortably held in his arms.
Seeing that even a thin smile leaked out, I felt like I was comfortably dreaming.
Lilith, who did not like her, teased her saintess by pressing her cheeks. As her eyebrows wrinkled, she hummed even more joyfully, humming her hum.
“Ikarut.”
Leviathan hinted at something.
An earring containing an ancient relic. She hid the warrior’s energy, but the use was abandoned in front of her eyes.
‘It means to look for it openly.’
It seemed to tell me the real-time location.
Although I couldn’t understand the hero’s behavior of intentionally throwing rice cakes at the enemy.
It didn’t matter.
‘I said I didn’t know about this world.’
Ikarut laughed inwardly.
In his previous life, he was a game figure. This was a world in a game, and each character was a deceased person who had played thousands of hours. In particular, he broke the scenario of the devil and the hero hundreds of times.
“Things are going well.”
The warrior’s location was also known. And I knew what she was doing.
“Go back at once.”
“Heungheung~♡ Why don’t you follow me?”
“Even if I kill you like the warrior said, it’s useless. We need to get rid of the root cause.”
“Cause… Are you talking…”
Leviathan tilts her head as if he doesn’t understand.
A bitter laugh came out at this. Facts you know from your past life.
If the existence of the holy sword disappears, the hero no longer appears.
It was an easter egg briefly mentioned in the dialogue script while playing Rex Etia.
‘I made a mistake. He killed a hero on the way to find the holy sword.’
At that time, Ikarut had not been possessed for a while.
When I open my eyes, who will believe the extraordinary story of the world inside the game?
Then he made a hasty choice.
Soon after, I went around looking for the Holy Sword as well. He disappeared as if showing off.
Only the hero knows the location of the holy sword.
Even after the war, the location of the Holy Sword was unknown.
A new hero appeared, who was in the worst possible situation.
“Withdraw.”
“Hmm~ Can I really not follow you?♡”
“The hero doesn’t have a holy sword yet.”
The resurrected hero did not have a holy sword.
An old longsword at the waist. This is an item obtained from a tutorial quest.
As soon as I saw this, I put off the option to kill.
If it had been, she would have broken it and mercilessly decapitated her.
‘I wonder if I’m finally looking for the holy sword.’
Retina seemed to have been reunited with the expedition for a long time.
The end of the presence left behind by the transmission magic was the place where I received the first quest after the tutorial.
It wasn’t until after the war was over that he revealed himself and went on an expedition to find the holy sword.
‘It’s not just the saintess who has changed.’
The hero he met again became a completely different person.
Only the gender was different, but the appearance was the same.
However, his personality has changed so much.
Normally, he would have entered the cave and tried to save the lives of the villagers.
I just ask you to bring Lucy. While watching her hometown being attacked, she even tried to kill her saintess.
The life I encountered today was sincere.
Retina was thinking of killing herself along with her saintess.
‘Who the hell is the main character…’
For some reason, it felt like good and evil had been switched.
