Hero without Blood or Tear

The boiling abyss looks at me with an interesting color. Then his skin cracked open and his eyes were hidden. At first glance, there were hundreds of eyes, but none of them were the same color or shape.

Everyone seemed to have different abilities. So frightening. If only one spell were to be released from those eyes, Schwarzetoifel and I would have no bones left.

“What's wrong with the contract? ”

“Heheheh... You know. Since you are sponsored by two great beings... in order to fulfill this contract... you will need explicit consent once again... ”

There was a question in his description.

“Two great beings? What's that supposed to mean? ”

“That's the Cemetery... No, you... Don't you know that? Hehehehe.”

A grave keeper is the nickname of the person crouching in the grave. I'm only on his side, and he's talking crazy.

“Who is my patron besides the one crouching in the grave? ”

“Khh... There's no reason to tell. ”

He refuses to answer, but doesn't have the courage to ask. The situation itself was too dangerous.

Not a clue, anyway. I have never had a relationship with a transcendent being but the one crouching in the grave.

“The important thing is that you are protected by him... This contract with his soul... is impossible. ”

I can't believe someone's protecting my soul. I thought it was simply because of the law that protects the mind and soul of the player, but was there anyone who exercised their skills?

Of course, it's not someone who crouches in a grave. He's going to use me and consume my soul. In order to have a happy ending, one day you have to feel sorry for him.

“But only for this contract... If you give up that blessing, the contract is possible. ”

“Does the blessing itself not go away?

“Yes, it's just this one thing. ”

I thought it would be better to do that. This ritual was essential in order to share the secret with Schwarzetoifel in the future.

“Very well. I've given up my blessing on this one. ”

“Good… the contract will be established without problems…. ”

As soon as I gave him permission, he tentacles down and writes something in the index book.

“Please. Khh... I hope you... break your promise." ”

This concluded the agreement to notarize him.

But I felt sorry for him like this. Judging from my experience, risk has always accompanied opportunity. When will I see this giant again?

I could hardly agree to ask Schwarzetoifel.

Moreover, that boiling abyss is sure to do me a great favor. Normally, he would have to destroy me immediately. You have to let them pay for not understanding the conditions and calling themselves in.

But he explained the situation to me in detail. It was a hard understanding to think of it as an ancient evil.

Why, then, does that great creature care about me?

Perhaps he was interested in what the one crouching in the grave was trying to accomplish using me.

“Boiling Maw. ”

I wanted to use it somehow to draw out his support. One day we must prepare to be betrayed or abandoned by those who crouch in the grave.

If I have his support even if I leave it, my strength will once again be able to make the leap.

“The ritual is over. Do I have anything left to say...? ”

It is a favorable response as expected. Of course, she opened her mouth to swallow me up right away, but the ancient evil gave her the opportunity to answer.

“I was asked by the man crouching in the grave. Kill all the Demon Kings he supports with the death of his enemies. ”

“Khh. That's because I... know you. ”

What a transcendent creature. Of those many eyes, there must be a spotting eye.

“That's why you worms... can talk to me... now." ”

“Could you back me up if you could? Stupid, I guess, but I think the Great One hates a struggling death. ”

“Hehehehehe……. ”

As the boiling abyss smiles, the surrounding tentacles shiver more brightly. I feel like I'm going to puke just looking at it.

“The effort to get something is... hypothetical and fun. But it's not enough. That's why... As you can imagine, I hate the struggling death... But that's not the only way to sponsor. ”

He cut and refused to give me a guess before I even got what I wanted.

“I'm not a grave keeper.... ”

His voice echoes from all sides. It was because he had several tentacles photograph many humans around him and let them speak at once. It was not a conversation, but an interpretation of meaning in the agonizing cry.

I felt so weak that I wanted to end this situation right now. But then we end up with nothing.

In my head, I thought about the boiling abyss I had seen in the temple of Chilma. Unfortunately, he is not the Dark Army, so his skill is not detailed.

But there must be something. I clenched my fist and desperately thought.

“Ah!”

Then I quickly remembered one thing.

[The boiling abyss seeks a dark crown. It is said to belong to someone in the Dark Army.]

I've decided to tell this story. But it was a great risk. But I didn't want to miss out on this opportunity even if I did.

“Then I'll suggest something else to gain your support. ”

“Let's hear it... one more time... ”

“I hear you're looking for the Dark Crown. If you support me, I'll help you navigate. ”

“How could you do that! ”

He seemed surprised for the first time. Suddenly, the tentacles shrunk. And soon, his myriad eyes stare at me.

“Hehehe... I see you've read Chilma Temple. ”

I've been spotted again.

“That's right.”

“But what a strange thing... I know I saw Chilma Temple... When and how I saw it... I can't even see it." I've never seen anyone as unique as you. Not only that... you have an unknown void. I can't even read……. How the hell did this human come into existence? ”

He seemed to be more and more interested in me.

“If you support me, I will do my best. ”

“Hehehehe... you. He's crazy about wanting my support. Is that how you want power? But the Crown of Darkness hasn't found even this body... How can it be exploring the subject of worms? Hehehehe…."

I didn't hate it when he said that. It even felt funny. Of course, I was joyfully tearing down the humans around me with tentacles.

“Sometimes it's not that high, it's what you see down there. ”

“An interesting proposition... but there is a problem. ”

He said he couldn't even if he wanted to. That is why my bowl is so small that I can no longer increase the patronage of the transcendents.

“Bondi... Humans... are too much for just one transcendent. One, you are sponsored by two transcendents. If you add me to that, three... There's no way I can stand that. ”

That's what I didn't know. By the way, I found out a lot about you today. It was all valuable information that could not be won by money.

“I'll admit you're out of your league. Maybe it has the qualities of a legendary hero that sometimes appears in taxes……. But even you can't afford the support of three transcendents... ”

Unfortunately, I have to give up on the patronage of the boiling abyss. What do you think? It can't be done in human specifications.

“Very well. If you say so……. ”

When I was about to give up, he cut me off.

“There's not a very... inevitable way... ”

“Is that true? ”

“Yes. If the bowl is small, I can raise it.... Raise your own bowl. If you do, there's no reason not to. Plus, that's enough... to find the crown. So... prove yourself worthy of your patronage. ”

An unexpected breakthrough appears. It was hard to get sponsored right away, but someday it will be possible. There is a solid insurance policy for the fight ahead.

Of course, there will be heavy missions to explore the Dark Crown, but there is a price for everything in the world. I was satisfied that there was just a way to reverse it when I was stuck.

“Heheheheh... It's fun. I've lived a long life for free. But I've never seen a man like you... funny before. You're the first... person to try so hard... to impress me like this. Normally, you'd have to be crazy to face me. ”

“I won't let you down. We will definitely raise a bowl and support it. ”

“Good. I live high up to that.... Bugs that are sneaky are different.... At this rate... I don't have the support yet, but I'll give you a little... respite. ”

I accidentally offered a bonus.

“Thank you. Khh! ”

A shivering look struck me from the tentacle that suddenly entered my abdomen. I drooled from my mouth, struggling with the excruciating pain surrounding my entire body. And then a new message appeared.

< +1,000 Health, +25% Physical Resistance! >

What a surprise! I checked the numbers again in front of my eyes. I forgot about the pain for a moment. What a trivial relief. I think I can survive being hit by a Dragon Breach!

“Thank you for your kindness. ”

“HP +1,000? Does that look like a shame to you? This is so unusual. Heheheheh. It's probably the ability... of that great creature... who sponsored you. ”

The boiling abyss also offered me a spell.

“This… is a spell you can summon me to trade. Giving away countless human souls...... and hardly receiving them in return. Even the dragon next to you... It was only after making so many people public that I got this spell. Thank you."

It is said that if you summon the boiling abyss, you can make various deals with him. One of them is to fulfill the ritual of the oath as it is now.

“I like the human soul very much. I will gladly accept.... If not... You can also trade in spiritual power or ancient artifacts... ”

“What are you paying for? ”

“Khh... I'm already full of greed. Good. I'll let you know. Beyond the Chilma Temple you've seen... the secrets of the universe, new powers, or the Abyssal Servants I call... the souls of these captured humans... anything is possible. Behold..."

He picks up a few humans around him with his tentacles and releases them like merchandise.

“This man... is a legendary knight... who fell into this hell for coveting his master's wife. And this woman... is a borderline woman who destroyed an empire. I have so many other... Human souls... I can sell them... if I want. This knight will serve only you... and this woman will love only you... It shouldn't be a bad deal. ”

Then I saw him at Chilma Temple. There are many corrupt Ancient Heroes beside the boiling abyss. Sometimes I can buy them and use them.

“Will they listen to me? ”

“You worry too much... worm. Prizes are always... made into slaves. My fortunes... are my strongest heroes... and my most elusive Mi-hees... will fulfill your desires... and fulfill them. ”

It was definitely a great offer. I don't know, but I have to give up so many human souls to make a deal with him. It's what so many evil creatures would want. Given that for free, I could see that this existence had great expectations and favors for me.

“I'll meet your expectations. ”

“Good. Even ants... greedy ants do amazing things. If I forget for a moment, a small ant lays eggs and makes a big anthill.... You, too, Burrani... Surprise me like that. ”

But there was a warning that we had to prepare enough.

“If you prepare a product... that doesn't suit you... and you put me through the trouble... I will take your soul from there... and the place of the slaves will be yours." You'd be a good product. Heheheh heh. ”

Hearing that, I realized the dangers. Even the infamous Schwarzetoifel could understand why he was afraid of this spell.

I thought it would be better not to trade unless it was absolutely necessary. He can be dragged into the abyss by his own whimsy.

Today is favorable, but not tomorrow. Humans are happy not to encounter such spiritual beings. However, it was undeniable that there was a powerful hand.

“Then... do what bugs do... ”

The meeting with the boiling abyss is over. As he leaves, the monsters and darkness that filled his surroundings disappear without a trace.

I just saw a quiet nest of dragons. The tension loosened at the moment and my body shivered.

“Phew.”

With a long sigh, Schwarzetoifel looks at me like I'm a ghost. He lets out a cold sweat. Suddenly, Schwarzetoifel leans on his cane and squats.

“Do you... know what you've been up to? ”

His old hands were trembling, pointing at me.
