Chapter 234 – The Second Hero.(1)
Fortunately, the children recovered safely.
Grandpa went to work diligently to sort out the paperwork to clear things up, and I showed up here and there as the face of the Shine family.
And it was the same today.
Late at night in the imperial family, aristocrats were gathering, talking and praising each other’s achievements.
Inside the hall, good-to-listen, beautiful music was played to maintain a good atmosphere for the banquet.
The music was definitely nice to hear.
However, unlike the banquet atmosphere, my mood was not very good.
The Empire saved the Kingdom of Gent.
I saved survivors, and I also got a lot of good materials.
In particular, I don’t doubt that it will come back with good results because I sent all the things I got from killing the Bone Dragon to Mist.
In addition, the polluted land of the Zent Kingdom was purified by the Helios Church, led by a saint, and distributed to those with great achievements, so it was only a good thing.
But the problem was with the demon’s mirror.
“Haaaaa… That’s fucking annoying.”
Clausolas, who was still unconscious, was left behind, and Darkness was also left in the same place as Clausolas.
If I had both swords in my hands, I would have slashed this banquet hall with a relentless swing.
Haha! Isn’t this the general of Artel! It’s an honor to meet you like this. I’m from a long-established family of marquis…”
Ah. Another annoying thing to come.
These were the reasons I was annoyed.
I didn’t ask, and I wasn’t curious, but when I came to introduce myself, it was obvious that I was trying to owe my power.
Still, I wouldn’t have been so angry if I had been fooling around in moderation and then read my mood and let myself fall for it.
These bastards didn’t even notice my feelings, and it was so disgusting to somehow catch me and appeal to their strengths.
“Tsk, go away.”
“So, the ancestor of our family is… Huh?”
“Can’t you hear me? Turn it off.”
As I exhaled death and said, the aristocrat’s face turned white and ran away.
My actions right now are very rude, but it was a waste of time to deal with such rubbish.
That’s why I threw away all the nobles who would come around and focused my mind again.
I came to this banquet anyway because of the value of my name, and I didn’t have any noble ladies who could beat my slaves, so I wasn’t interested.
Rather, I fainted and focused my mind on the Demon Realm and the Demon King I had seen, albeit for a very short time.
“I don’t know if it’s the effect of the holy relic, the devil’s mirror, but… It’s the demon king.”
When I lost my mind, I saw the Demon World.
And I saw the demon king defeating King Hargedon.
The Demon King was beautiful.
Not only appearance, but also combat and magic control… Everything was equal to or better than me.
Perhaps pure physical specs and melee combat are my advantages.
However, there was a huge difference in the ability to control magical power.
The magical power management ability that instantly destroyed King Hargedon was truly a realm of miracles.
Of course, I could have killed King Hargedon.
I sent him to the Demon Realm because I thought it would be more beneficial to move him rather than deal with his intention to provoke and feed the demons.
However, no matter how much I imagined the battle between the demon lord and me, I did not think that I would have the upper hand.
No, with the demon king’s skills, the current empire would not be able to defeat the demons.
“Even if I were to face the demon king, the soldiers of the Demon Realm are strong, and we can’t lose in terms of quantity, but my opponent is the being that controls a world and the total strength of that being.
I thought about this and that, but the answer didn’t come easily.
The reason for keeping the hero alive was to raise the hero and use it to catch the demon king, but looking at the demon king, this plan is scrapped.
Perhaps even when fighting the king of demons on the same line, a hero won’t help.
“Hmm… The hero isn’t going to help… Then is there any reason to keep him alive?”
Come to think of it, there was no reason why a hero was needed.
It’s better to transfer that power to someone else…
“Yes, there was a way.”
I screamed excitedly at the idea that flashed in my head.
The eyes of the nobles immediately focused on me, but I jumped out of the window and escaped outside the palace.
“The amount of power, and the second hero’s power! Using this, you can usurp the hero’s power!”
In the original work, the hero is overwhelmingly applied to the demon king.
And, like a really common cliché, it becomes stronger by taking over the strength of the warrior left by the predecessor.
The important thing here is that the power left by the previous warriors is passed on in the form of transfer.
In other words, anyone who has the qualifications of a warrior can receive that power and become a warrior.
I don’t meet that condition.
In the first place, the condition would be to be a hero or a being with a good soul, but there was no way I could meet those conditions, but I had a strong body and Claus Solas.
Take a detour through Clausolas and absorb the hero’s power.
That was my plan
“Whoa… Whoa…”
I got to my room and grabbed the Clausolas with the bruised blade.
But suddenly, I remembered something I had forgotten.
Winter is coming soon
And the place where the hero’s power was contained was in an ancient tower built underwater, where you had to travel by boat.
In other words, I couldn’t go out to sea as of now.
Reason? It’s cold, it’s crazy to go outside in this cold winter.
In addition, in winter, there were many things to deal with as the monster’s movements increased.
Realizing this, I fell to the floor blaming my head.
The tension was excessively low, perhaps because I had only lost strength for no reason.
“Ugh, since we have to go later, I’ll have to ask Belli to make a boat in advance.”
Now that it’s like this, I’m going to spend the winter in the manor and spend a frenzied night.
If someone hears it, they’ll shout that I’m not good enough as an aristocrat, but it doesn’t matter.
It’s the truth, and it’s not that I’m very inspired to hear that.
Anyway, in this world, winter feels like a vacation period that lasts for 1-2 months at most, so it would be okay to eat more.
Thinking so, I gripped the Darkness.
Darkness also didn’t respond, as if he was resting now.
“I think I want to talk to you, but… Well, let’s postpone this until later. Also, since it’s vacation time, go on a date with the kids.”
Drinking tea, shopping, watching plays and movies together.
It wouldn’t be bad to have a little fun instead of just making rice cakes.
Until now, I was busy, so when I met, I just hit rice cakes, and I felt slightly sorry that I rarely went on dates like this, so I decided to plan a pure date.
And as soon as the date plan was over, I shuffled my body with the kids who came into my room and went to bed together.
—————————————-
Close your eyes.
Next to me was an elf with the power of prophecy.
See the future with her power.
It was a difficult but necessary task.
I focused her magic and connected my magic with her.
Before long, my vision reversed and I saw the future.
There were numerous prisoners there.
From dogs, cats, and squirrels to rabbits, tigers, and so on.
All sorts of prisoners were laughing haha hohoho while living in a wooden building that was lagging behind compared to the Empire.
I looked down and thought a lot about what this was about, but with the sudden reversal of my vision, I was able to figure out what the prophecy was about.
Koo Goo Goo Goo Palace-
A huge space opens up.
Countless demons came pouring out from there, and a man with a giant eye in the center of the pit in the middle of a giant body strode out, leading the demons.
As soon as I saw him I knew.
That is the king of demons, the lord of all demons.
Just looking at it made my teeth tremble and I felt fear.
And will what we’re doing now help against such monsters? I heard a question called.
But that question was cut off by the demon king looking at me.
Obviously this is a prophecy, but the demon king looked right at himself and stretched out his hand.
As the fingertips approached me, the space around me distorted and constrained my body.
And just before that hand touched me, someone cut off the demon king’s hand and at the same time I lost consciousness.
The last thing I saw then was the demon king shouting ‘I missed you’ with his mouth.
“Haha…”
When I opened my eyes, my room was in sight again.
My body was full of cold sweat, and my clothes were wet.
But to care about this, what I saw as a prophecy was absurd.
“Nonsense, what the hell is this! Me, if that’s on the same level as the demon king, what the demon king I’ve seen before!”
Clearly, the Demon King was strong.
But I have never felt such transcendent power and energy.
But the demon king here is on the same level as that monster? Is this the world I know right? Is it the same world as your own?
Constant doubts and anguish tormented my head.
“Zen… Jean. Only then will everything we prepared mean nothing!”
Gathered hidden treasures, artisans, and talented people.
By developing mines with precious ores, he contributed to raising the quality of the Imperial Army while obtaining funds.
Just in case, he allowed the summoning of the warriors and sought the minimum means for the warriors to become stronger, and even though he knew about the work of the Halfas guys, he connived and buried them with the Gent Kingdom.
Clearly, I thought this was enough.
But that thought was arrogance.
Seeing that transcendent sight, I decided to change my plans.
To defeat such monsters, this one must become a monster worthy of them.
Thinking so, I thought of the ancient relic itself, the ruins.
“The present hero is unnecessary, making the hero a high treason, passing the power to his sister.”
With that promise, I went to work behind the scenes.
