Hero without Blood or Tear

No, what the hell is that?

I was embarrassed, but I looked around for even the most violent. Suddenly, an unknown creature appeared and took hold of me.

“ ……. ”

But it was quiet everywhere. It's just that the grass is on fire. I felt suffocated and sore from the black smoke. I didn't think anything was going to happen right away.

I checked the status window to see what was going on. If a new phase is in progress, there should be some explanation.

“No... ”

But there was no explanation.

This is awkward.If this is a quest, it should be explained... Seems like it's been like this lately. The description that appeared in the status window became concise.

Why the hell not?

My mind rises, but I don't want to hesitate here. You retrieve Falke's body and quickly leave the premises.

* * *

When I returned to the Lighter, I took Falke's body out and was troubled. First of all, let's ask him why he's still alive in the Undead, which is not very promising.

“Death Fighters, march on your master! ”

I tried summoning the undead to the dead Falke. But there was no response.

< You cannot undead a target with your current skill! >

We're still outnumbered. We're guardians, and we're a little level up. It was impossible, as expected. I needed to be at least level 7 skilled to make Falke undead.

“That's a bummer.”

I realize how difficult it is to clear.

The Guardian is comfortable initially, but the Seal of the Great Darkness is released. By the way, if we delay the removal of the Guardians, we have no idea how old they'll be in the future.

Falke was also in a state of inadequate use of the power of the swordsman. When a swordsman rises, he does something rash like cutting dimensions. At that time, I wasn't sure if I could win like this.

“Damn it. If you catch it, it'll break the seal again. ”

Winning in this world is hard because these dilemmas run from beginning to end.

Looks like it can be cleared quickly when it goes well. In the past, I was confident that I would win by slashing the Demon King in pieces.

But somewhere, these dilemmas pop up and grab me by the ankles and eventually push me to the bottom of defeat.

To be honest, I felt a great fear this time. Just feeling a part of its existence made me feel hopeless and helpless.

I was no mortal. He bursts out a big smile when Falke is dead. Like it was good, like it was fun to play with his intentions.

I can no longer bear the thought of killing the Guardian. The world was about to fall apart after trying to acquire some SS grade skills. I felt the need to rethink my vision of the Guardian.

“By the way... ”

How can there be no one to share this concern...?

“Phew... ”

I sighed. I came to this world and met many heroes, but I can't believe I don't have a colleague to share such a big secret with.

Come to think of it, the people next to me are like the Demon King, the Demon King, the Demon King's daughter, Undead... There was no one I could trust.

No, there is only one thing I can trust. Valpurgis, she could tell you a secret. But Valpurgis was ignorant of this outside world.

“Then……. ”

There is only Schwarzetoifel.

* * *

I came to Grosse Glockner, where the recruits are doing well and General Tilly doesn't have to worry about training. So I decided to do this side of the job.

“Hello, skeleton. ”

“It turned out that the city I was building was beautiful. ”

“The engineers sent by the Demon King of Roses are very good. This place will now be a sanctuary of bitterness. ”

Schwarzetoifel was quite satisfied.

“What's going on, by the way? ”

“Oh, before that. ”

I asked him about Fallax of the Demon King Odgash before I went into business. The thing that killed and captured the Demon King was somehow rejecting me. So I asked Schwarzetoifel to find out why.

“Let's go talk. ”

Schwarzetoifel teleported me to the depths of the nest. There is a radiant magic circle, and on top of it lies a full-on electric polax.

The ‘Chafrichter' used by the late Demon King Odgash. It was a legendary weapon called the Seven Armies of the Empire.

A magic item of SS-grade power, more powerful than Ryublagna, the family heirloom of Pfalz, the twelve great swords of the Empire. Of course, I was thirsty enough to salivate my mouth.

“What happened? Are you refusing to believe that I killed my master? ”

Schwarzetoifel shakes his head.

“This weapon may have its own ego, but it's not. ”

“Why? ”

I take one step closer to Shafrihitter, and he digs! Powerfully raises the spark.

“There's no other reason. Because you're not strong enough to satisfy him now. Think about it from his point of view. If I see you while serving a master who has the power to overthrow the Mountain like the Demon Lord Odgash, I won't be kicked in the castle. ”

Then it is understandable. Although the Demon King Odgash was screaming at the sacrament, it was enough to say that his power reached the sky.

“When I am compared to the power of my Demon King Odgash, will this Shafrihitter claim me as his master? ”

“That's right.”

Thank goodness. That will solve time eventually.

“Your face is full of water, by the way. Are you in enough trouble to need this Sharp Heather? ”

The old man is a ghost.

“I'm here on urgent business. The problem you suggested earlier. ”

“Hmm! You're determined, aren't you? ”

“I had no choice. ”

The other day, Schwarzetoifel offered a mutual defense pact. When I asked him if Schwarzetoifel was guarding the Seal, he drew a line that he would only reveal after entering into the agreement.

I didn't want to respond, because I had to reveal my identity for mutual defense threats. Seeing that the opposing Pokémon is the dragon, it's hard to decide.

However, if you want to fight the forces of cancer, you do not have to fight alone. And I felt the need to know his secrets.

“Very well, Schwarzetoifel. I will enter into a mutual defense pact in exchange for the soul. ”

Schwarzetoifel gives you a second chance to think.

“Judge carefully. There's no turning back once you decide. Can you handle it? ”

“Of course. If you break your oath, I will pay for this soul." ”

I can assure you, Schwarzetoifel nods heavily. This was quite an adventure for him, too. Maybe he can't trust me that easily either.

However, Schwarzetoifel is keenly aware of the need for assistance since the recent incident with the Demon King Odgash. I came to the same conclusion about this.

“Schwarzetoifel. Those of us who walk alone must help one another. ”

“I agree."

Speaking of which, Schwarzetoifel was pitiful.

“Everything was much simpler hundreds of years ago than it is now. I've spent time counting gold coins stored up in my nest. But now there are those who plot evil in the distance, even in the eyes of dragons. ”

“That's why we have to hold hands. No matter how strong a dragon breathes, it won't reach them. ”

“Yes, I feel like times have changed. No more knights attacking me head-on. They're just hiding like rats and plotting. ”

“We'll get those rats. ”

“I like that. Great!”

Schwarzetoifel slams the ground hard with his cane.

Kuang!

Then the Blood Mages spread to the bottom of the cave.

“Balor. This spell is the most horrifying one known to the mainstream. Stay sharp. From now on, we will stake each other's souls on an ancient evil. He's gonna be a notary in this deal. ”

“Isn't this the ritual of swearing to the boiling abyss? ”

“Haha! How do you know this secret spell?!" ”

Schwarzetoifel bursts into a startled laughter.

“Your knowledge is truly remarkable! Is he really human? ”

I had never actually seen it, but I read it in the Temple of Chilmar. When you use a spell, you will invoke an ancient evil and swear to keep your promises to each other before it. And I didn't pay for it separately, because he was the one who broke his promise on the condition that his soul was consumed by him.

From his point of view, you want the oath broken like glass. Keeping an oath was also because of that expectation.

“Concentrate on your consciousness first. It's a terrible spell, but I could trust you with this much. Schwarzee inspiration.”

“Drag it. You little prick. You know how scary this spell is, don't you? ”

But there must be other oath spells, and when I chose this, it seemed that he was not at ease except in this extreme form.

“H-he's coming. I feel like quitting now. ”

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!

You hear a sound that seems to shake your soul from afar. It was like the smile I heard on the road after killing Falke.

The ancient evil mocks us for making foolish choices. It was as if your promise would always be broken and your soul would always be my food.

I frowned.

“Is that ancient evil the same as the great army of darkness? ”

“They are relatives, after all. We call those who live in harmony with us from the ancient evil a great army of darkness. ”

It was the first I had heard of it. When I joined Schwarzetoifel, what I did not know began to reveal.

“Here, he's almost here. Brace yourself! Otherwise, your soul will be sucked out before your consciousness is complete! ”

“I see.”

As soon as I answered, the world changed. The surrounding cave disappears and the creatures of darkness rush in at once from an inexplicable distance.

Slow down.

Numerous tentacles boil from the ground up and cover the area. And many humans were screaming painfully in their tentacles.

“Aah! Aah! ”

“Shhh!”

Suddenly, hell opened up before my eyes.

“Balor, these are the men who broke their vows and became captives. If we break our promise to each other, that's what will happen. ”

In fact, it was hard to describe the human being. I felt like I was going to lose my mind just looking at it. But this was just the beginning. It was because of the body that was hard to express in the sea of tentacles that was terrible.

It was a creature that seemed to be made of numerous octopus bridges. But there was blood everywhere, and it was disgusting to look at because of the wounds that seemed to have been dug up.

“Ugh... ”

Schwarzetoifel lets out a sigh without even knowing it.

“Wake up! If you are consumed by that existence, you will be consumed by the soul! ”

“Grrrgh!"

Easy for you to say. I can already feel the pressure to breathe. The ancient evil, on the other hand, was peaceful and slow.

He spreads a large leather sheet in front of him. I could tell it was made of human hide. It was filled with letters that were unknown because it was filled with human faces that were flattened.

Ugh.

His tentacle extends here and grabs a silver solid line from me and Schwarzetoifel's body. I don't know what it is, but it has something to do with my soul.

The ancient evil connects our two silver solid lines to one side of the indentation, and moves the tentacles down quickly to write something. It seemed like the ritual was over without any problems.

Suddenly, the cheerful tentacles stopped. And that ancient evil began to gaze back at me. I was embarrassed and asked Schwarzetoifel.

“What's wrong with him? ”

“Well, I don't know. ”

Schwarzetoifel didn't give me an answer, but rather he was embarrassed. If something goes wrong with this dangerous ritual, even a dragon would be in trouble.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

The ancient evil was immersed in a human body that had suffered near one of several tentacles! You plug it in. As soon as he opens his mouth, he starts talking.

“Quurr... you. The one... named... Ballersted Baller... ”

But at that moment, the tentacle man couldn't take it any longer, inflated like a balloon, and bam! It exploded.

Cheolphuduk!

A lump of flesh splashed across my face. Whether or not, the ancient evil doesn't care at all, but sticks tentacles into another human body and says,

“You... khh. You're a very special one... To attract the attention of this boiling abyss! ”

I don't know what the hell is going on. But one thing is for sure, that the unconscious creature suddenly began to take an interest in me.
