3. Meeting the Hero ⑴
Yulgeum got angry and took out a small test tube from his pocket. I cut off the curly mycelium and put it away.
“Just looking at it, it’s armpit hair. “Is there really no dragon?”
Deus asked, looking at Yulgeum’s armpit.
“An incredibly rude guy.”
Yulgeum put the test tube that collected the mycelia in his pocket. And immediately
disappeared somewhere.
Deus shouted behind him as he disappeared into the ripples.
“Don’t forget about compensation! “It’s a thousand gold coins!”
Deus and Alex returned to the carriage.
The collapsed Leah Castle was still gripped with fear.
Dragon.
That one was more than enough to overwhelm the strength of one castle.
Only warriors can deal with them.
Deus opened his mouth as he looked at the confused people.
“What about the hero? “Is Blood still available?”
“Do you want to see the hero?”
“Do you want to see it?”
“Because it’s life’s rival. Of course, it will be one of the Bloods a generation later.”
“The closer you are to a pureblood, the stronger you are, right?”
“66,600 years ago. Bloods who inherited the blood of the first warrior and saint. In the end, it is a war between the sons of the devil and the sons of heroes.”
And they all lost.
Deus swallowed these words in his throat
.
“What on earth are you trying to do, Yulgeum?”
It was quite rare for Alex to ask a question first.
“You took my armpit hair.”
“Isn’t it mold?”
“Would it be less embarrassing for you to have hair in your armpits? Or is there mold growing on it?”
“I don’t like both of them.”
“Well, you have 100 armpits. “I don’t know if you can call them armpits, but it
would be a bit dirty if there was hair all over them.”
“It doesn’t have 100 tentacles.”
“Whether 100 or 90 are dirty, it’s the same.”
Alex was afraid of what more he might hear, so he changed the topic back to Yulgeum.
“It appears to have been contaminated with something, whether it be armpit hair or mold.”
“So you became belligerent? However, there have always been hardliners among dragons since ancient times.”
“Maybe it’s a question of frequency.”
“Are they occurring more frequently? “Well, I smashed one a few days ago.”
I thought about the dragon that was also the beginning of my relationship with Yulgeum.
I couldn’t even remember the color anymore.
“Okay, let’s leave the complicated stuff aside and let’s go. “We must raise heroes in the darkness of the world.”
“Yes, then run.”
Crossed the border again.
Even then, there was no contact from Yulgeum
.
Deus berated her every day.
I always started swearing first thing in the morning before I woke up and brushed my teeth.
“You sound like a fraud.”
“It was a mistake not to specify in the contract the deadline for making it.”
“Look at this bastard. “Are you blaming me?”
“It’s not anyone’s fault…
“It’s grown a lot. After the Duke, you are the King, right? “You eat it yourself.”
“Didn’t the Demon Lord quit?”
“I didn’t give it to you just because I quit, right?”
“The devil is fate. Who can receive that? To begin with, my lord thinks too lightly of the position of the devil king. But why on earth did you quit being the Demon King?”
“Have we talked yet?”
“You didn’t.”
“I think we’ve talked about it several times.”
“Every time that happens, something happens.”
Quang!
“Like that.”
A burning ship was seen falling from the sky.
“Is that an airship?”
“That’s right. An airship! It appears to be an item from some royal family. “No… that one!”
Alex pointed with a surprised expression.
“It’s Pure Blood!”
A family’s emblem was drawn on the side of the large airship.
An eagle biting a fir branch. And even a ribbon with letters
surrounding it .
It was a sentence full of the feeling that the family was one of the most prosperous in the world.
Well, it became meaningless only when it burned down like it did now.
“Pure Blood?”
“It’s Hollifer.”
“Holy Fir?”
“That’s what I mean.”
“Did the Demon King of Sentai fight with a tree?”
“Don’t you think there might be a lot of fir trees in that area?”
“Is that so?”
“yes. “Because we settled in a fir forest area,
we created the last name Hollyfer.”
“They say they are the children of a warrior. But why are there multiple last names?”
“Isn’t it over 60,000 years ago? “We have split up and gotten married, so everything is mixed up, so last names don’t have any meaning anymore.”
“Is it true? “Humanity has been fighting the devil for over 60,000 years.”
“yes. “I’ve been watching you from the beginning.”
The Seven Dukes of the Demon World They were the actual pillars that had protected the Demon World since the first Demon King
.
It wasn’t a legend or anything.
All events were left in their memories, one by one.
“It looks like it will fall in front of the forest over there. Do you want to go take a look?”
“Hollyfer. “To what extent?”
“He is a pureblood among purebloods who has produced nearly 100 final warriors so far.”
“It must be strong. “Would you like to take a look?”
The fire burning the airship did not abate even on the ground.
The wizards quickly extinguished the fire using water magic, but the fire had already spread to the tent.
Even if the fire was put out, it didn’t seem easy to resurface.
Meanwhile, heavily armed knights opened the large door at the back of the ship and took out the luggage piled in cloth.
The luggage was loaded onto a large wagon.
The wheel was so big that it touched a person’s chest. The items on board seemed to be quite heavy.
Ten people, including knights and servants, rushed in and barely pulled him out.
It was noisy as everyone, from the person putting out the fire to the person unloading the luggage, was shouting.
Deus sat in the carriage and watched with a relaxed expression.
“Fire is good. Especially when burning something of value.”
“Yes? It’s really nice to see. “Oh my gosh, that rotten wizard keeps turning off the lights.”
“It would be better if it all burned down, but even half-burning is sexy.”
“That’s right. “A half-burned building with its skeleton exposed
really stimulates the imagination.”
One of the knights came up to them and glared at them, as if they were annoyed by the people who were criticizing the fire in other people’s houses.
“Who are you?”
“And who are you?”
“This is a group of knights who protect the Hollifer family.”
“I am Deus and this is Alex. Since I made a clear statement, go on your way. “Wouldn’t it be a big deal if the fire spreads there?” Deus pointed with his finger at the large luggage they were carrying.
“upstart! “He doesn’t look like he’s a noble when he rides a wagon, but how dare you talk to a knight of the Holifer family like that!”
The knight placed his hand on the sword at his belt.
It was a cross-shaped long sword.
A person noticed the small commotion and came over.
He looked to be about twenty years old and was wearing a white uniform. Buttons made of ostrich (鳥石) hung neatly from the neck to below the waist.
The shoulder threads shone jade-colored, and
the waist was decorated with black gold.
“What’s going on?”
He spoke to the knight in a solemn voice.
“My Lord! “We are trying to educate the country bumpkins because they do not pay respect to the Hollifer family.”
That man was the enemy of the Holifer family.
Barries van Hollifer.
He was a D-class hero and was considered Blood with the highest potential to become the father of the final hero.
Barries glanced at Deus and Alex.
Four horses in a wagon.
As his subordinate said, he was a country bumpkin, but he did not look like a nobleman.
However, the moment Baries saw Deus, he felt an inexplicable sensation.
It felt as if the blood inside my body was boiling.
The itching sensation made my fingertips tremble.
I wanted to draw my sword. I wanted to
cut off the heads of those in front of me and
lift them up high.
I thought it would be refreshing to pour the blood on the ground and spit on it.
The endless hatred welling up in his heart was so strange that Baryes trembled.
“My Lord! What’s going on? “I’ll take care of them, so please go back to your seats.”
“iced coffee.
Deus looked at the barries and spat out.
“Are you going to attack me?”
“…You’re arrogant. Holifer’s name
was not built in vain.”
“okay?”
Deus laughed. The corners of his mouth were twitching, and the driver was a step ahead and got angry.
He pulled out his sword and pointed it straight at Deus’ neck.
“It looks like you want to die!”
“Which one will die? If not me, then you?”
Alex stopped Deus.
“Aren’t you an aspiring warrior colleague?”
“Oh right. “It was that kind of setting.” Deus’s expression was still full of sly mockery.
It was another incident that resolved the imminent situation.
Suddenly, a commotion spread among the drivers carrying the luggage.
I heard an unusual sound.
“Hide it! Cover it quickly!”
Only an enlightened monk or a coward would hear such a sound and not turn their eyes towards the commotion.
Deus looked that way.
One wheel of a cart carrying a large load
broke and collapsed.
Because of this, he lost his balance and the object hidden behind the tent slightly slipped down.
Big claws.
Fingers split into three.
And red scales.
“Dragon?”
Deus said something and Alex chimed in.
“It’s also quite young.
100 years old? “Maybe a little more than that.”
Dragons were recognized as adults only when they were over 100 years old.
“Did you catch a dragon? But wasn’t the dragon neutral now?
“I think the dragons will be angry when they find out about this.”
It seemed like the words Deus had blurted out without much thought were disgusting.
The knight straightened his sword and looked back at his master.
Barries nodded slightly. He then turned and walked toward the crashed airship.
The knight shouted to his companions.
“The secret is revealed! “Comrades, we must go hunting!”
Four knights and two wizards
quickly surrounded Deus’ wagon.
Deus snorted at that sight.
“What’s the difference between a hero and a loser? “It looks like you were doing something lame.”
Barries stopped walking for a moment but never turned around.
“What should I do?”
There were five knights in total surrounding the carriage.
The two wizards were standing far away, laying out magic stones on the floor
.
After the placement of each stone is completed, a number of chain magic will unfold.
Usually, they would attack the knights before the long-range attackers’ magic was complete. Even if it meant taking damage, it was better to eliminate the wizard first.
Because the completed magic was scary.
But Deus and Alex just watched them.
“After seeing me?”
In response to Deus’ question, Alex made a short clicking sound.
“It wouldn’t be that difficult for me to kill those seven and turn them into a pile of mud. But would you mind?”
“What’s not to do?”
“Didn’t I say it before? “Aren’t you an aspiring warrior companion?”
“Oh, really? Well, it would be strange if an aspiring warrior killed all the knights from a prestigious warrior family. Well then, shall I ask for forgiveness at this point? Alex, go get down on your knees and pray. “ Please
save me.”
“I think it’s already too late to ask for forgiveness. “Because I saw the secret.”
“Wouldn’t it be okay to just pull out your eyes and pray?”
“Mine?”
“Then should I gouge out my eyes?”
“Aren’t you being too cruel to your subordinates?”
“You have a lot of eyes. I only have two.”
