Hero without Blood or Tear

[131] Spring of the Empire. (10)

After separating from Aquila, we arrived in a world as white and barren as a desert of salt. It was very beautiful at first sight, but I quickly felt monotonous. I was afraid I would lose my mind in a place like this for a long time.

Ugh. Zec.

I started drawing elaborate enchantments on the idea of finishing quickly and going back. Unlike when we defeated the Cryokines this time, we are calling them formally. I have to be prepared a lot,

I had to drop Busan long before I could finish the job.

“Boiling Maw. Lord of the 73rd constellation. Fair man in the trade. ”

As soon as I was ready, I summoned the boiling abyss immediately.

Que-e-e-e!

A terrifying cry erupted from afar in response to my call.

Grrrrr.

The dimension of the salt desert without this owner starts to change as it vibrates. The ugly, twisted creatures of darkness stream across the dimension.

Slow down.

It was a horrible sight to see. The tentacles that fill the surroundings and the souls that cry out because they are captivated by them.

“Rrrrgh! Please save me! ”

“Buy me! I'll serve as a Trinket for life! ”

“I'll give you my sword! ”

Many of the captured heroes and Mi-hee reach out to me with their hands groaning. The human word dealt with the Darkness is so miserable. They would have been noble kings, heroes and princesses alive, but they were being stripped naked and cared for without a single drop of dignity.

I heard that someday the boiling abyss will follow me if I buy these souls, but now that I see that position, I can understand. Later, if you have a good soul, you can shop....

No, wait.

Something popped into my head. Now I'm here to snitch. But it was also very valuable information. Then maybe we can sell it instead of just handing it over?

Of course, I received the favor of the Boiling Abyss in return for my quest, but I thought I could ask you to take only a few souls to hand over the information.

He will, too. The boiling abyss we've seen so far is quite generous. A supergiant that exudes an atmosphere of immense power and magnificence.

Moreover, it was the souls of heroes and beautiful women all around.

“I'm fine.... ”

Then who should I ask?

I bet you like wizards. My weakness lies in the power of magic. I want to get a wizard and turn him into a rich man.

They say the Wizard Tower is under construction in Morse Solar, the undead city. That would be great if we could get some rich people to move in.

Kuwoowoowoooong -!

At that time, the pressure around me changed, and the boiling abyss revealed itself. One by one, a mass of gigantic tentacles appeared that cannot be counted.

It fills the whole area with size, not just unique existence. Looking at it, I couldn't breathe.

But thanks to that experience, I remained incredibly calm. That's why the spirits who were watching couldn't help but be surprised.

“He sees our strong master and doesn't budge! ”

“He must be a much greater hero than I thought! ”

“Ah! Please take the girl! I'll do whatever you want! I'll give you all of mine! ”

The noisy spirits of the boiling abyss are tentacles thumping! As he struck, he screamed and ran everywhere.

“Humble things make fun of you. Ballersted... You summoned me again. ”

“I didn't call you on frivolous business. We have the information you are looking for. ”

“Hoho... What an interesting human being. Yeah, Ballerstead von Wittenbuyer. You can't disappoint me. So, what's the information? ”

I decided not to negotiate information in return. It's too presumptuous of this great being. You're right to tell him first and ask him for his soul. You have no choice if you don't give it to me.

“I've located the Dark Crown. ”

“What!”

Shhhhhhh!

The voice of the boiling abyss resonates like thunder. Seeing his bloodied tentacles festering, the Dark Crown seemed to excite even this divine being.

What the hell is a crown of darkness?

It was not even written in the great knowledge of the Temple of Chilma. I just said a lot of dark soldiers want it. I asked Aquila, but she didn't know exactly. Just that these dark creatures want to wear a crown when the time comes.

“Really?"

“How could it be a lie? ”

Then he used the power of natural detection. But for a moment, his tentacles stopped.

“Hmm? You've changed since you've seen it. ”

Suddenly, the spotting didn't work out.

“There was a connection. ”

“Looks like I got something from your patron.... How arrogant of you to avoid this power. ”

At that, I quickly looked down.

“Forgive me. I couldn't help but notice the number of enemies aiming for my neck is growing. But there's no lie about where the crown is. ”

"You don't have the power to see it, but you can distinguish it. Tell me."

It's a scary thing. Even without the power to see, it doesn't seem like it's a job to see through a trivial mortal.

“The Crown of Darkness is possessed by the Demon King Crowser III, who is under undeniable darkness. He's a great musician, and he says he hid the crown in his vocal cords. ”

The boiling abyss arose in amazement.

“I hadn't thought of that! Hiding the power of the crown in music. What a peculiar talent, so you couldn't find it! ”

I gave you more information. The boiling abyss is filled with joy and fury, as well as striking its tentacles.

Kwaaaa! Boom! Kuaang!

The tentacle was so strong that this whole quiet and small dimension seemed to collapse.

“Nasty! You've long assumed the unspeakable darkness was the culprit. I just... I couldn't help it because I was sick. Now that I've heard the truth, I will never forgive you! ”

Causality shifted.

Bondi, the crown is a boiling abyss. The inexplicable darkness stole the cause, and the boiling abyss was able to enforce its consequences.

It's easy for you to say. I have been informed that I have had the opportunity to ride this stream and ruin an indescribable darkness.

“I'm in big trouble. It's as dangerous as pushing your elbow into death. ”

I declared that the incarnation in Munich was powerful and that stopping it would shatter the inexpressible plot of darkness.

“Once the incarnation sits in the middle of the empire, the future of plagues will fluctuate. ”

“Definitely. You must feel like a thorn in your throat! ”

Even though I agreed, the boiling abyss burst into laughter.

“You! You're eager to wage a war against the existence of darkness with that sneaky snitch. ”

“How can you call that a scam? I just provided the information you wanted. ”

“It doesn't matter! Once we know where the crown is, we can't leave the darkness unspeakable. Khhh-heh-heh!”

His enormous tentacles twitch in disdain. Putting all these words together, the boiling abyss must have quite a grudge against the unspeakable darkness.

In fact, Krika now wants to fight against the unspeakable darkness. It was a pity that the undeniable darkness stayed out of the fight.

That's why I thought I'd be willing to move on with my seemingly obvious work. After all, it is very difficult to deceive people because they see me as a monkey.

But there is a way.

Make an offer you can't refuse. Even if the opponent is a monkey, he has no choice but to accept it. That's how you deal with these transcendents.

“Hehehehe! From now on, I will wage war against that unspeakable darkness. So let your humble self clean up Munich's mess. ”

“Great One. Even though the order is legitimate, I can't handle it. It's just an incarnation, but it's one of the many branches of a giant tree. How can an ant like me gnaw at it? ”

“Hmm... It bothers me that I'm so weak as a bug. But that's fair to say. Well, now that you've grown your vessel of spirit, ”

I wanted to. I asked him to sponsor me.

“That's good, too. This body did not have enough paddles to move in the material system. I'd be happy to give you a spot like that. You're the only one in the material world who's this funny. ”

I clenched my fist. I did it. I was promised support without a big problem.

“Hmm... But you're still weak as a bug, so even if you're backed up, you can't beat the incarnation." Because ants become bigger ants. ”

The boiling abyss stretched out its tentacles and tried to touch me.

“Could you give me the power of the incarnation? ”

“That's impossible. This body does not have a Great Dark Army position. This frees them from many troubles, but it cannot unleash the power of the incarnation on its followers. ”

“Is that so?”

“But it's not that there's no way. All you have to do is be strong, even without the incarnation! ”

It's a bit ominous, isn't it? But I couldn't say no. If we don't find a way to deal with the incarnate, if we go back to the material system, they'll kill us. Maximilian will kill you like he's waiting for you.

“What are you trying to do? ”

“Heheheh heh. Don't rush me. I will temporarily possess this man's soul. ”

The boiling abyss reaches out and grabs a soul. He was a man of great stature. I had luscious blonde hair and blue eyes, but I felt like a king despite my long suffering. He was probably a great hero before he lived.

“This man killed a dragon in his lifetime. ”

“Haona, the Great One. There are not many heroes who kill dragons. ”

“Kuhahaha! The dragon he killed was no ordinary dragon. He was only reconciled to the appearance of a dragon, but the incarnation of a great army of darkness. ”

I was surprised to hear that.

“Really? He just seems mortal? ”

“So he's an odd one. It's the most valuable soul I've ever collected. ”

I'm surprised that a Human killed the incarnate of a great dark army. He was probably on the verge of something I didn't know about.

“If I lend my support to this man, I can defeat the incarnation of Munich. ”

“Thank you."

“I've given you this much, and if you fail, I will not let your soul stand in your way. ”

A tentacle approaches your face, and the end twists and turns like a muzzle. Its fang-like teeth narrow and its sticky saliva lengthens. He looks around like he's gonna eat me right now.

“I'll make it work. ”

“Great! Now let's give it a rest! ”

Phew!

A tentacle pierced my body, terribly speaking.

“Rrrrgh!”

Screams burst out of my mouth and drool. It's all good. Can't we just change the way we use this power?

“Be patient, superhuman strength cannot be gained without pain! Kuhahaha! You're really struggling like a bug! ”

As the evil consequences persist, the boiling abyss smiles strangely.

“Not bad. But we haven't really started yet. ”

Suddenly, high pressure electricity rushes through my body with tentacles.

“Rrrrghhh!”

I could not bear it. My whole body was full of electricity, and I felt like I was finally climbing up to my head and burning my brain.

“Ahh…… ”

Your eyes turn white. As my arms and legs sag, the boiling abyss bursts into sadistic laughter and pushes back the force.

“Rrrrgh!”

“We're not halfway there yet. Try to fight a little harder. Heheheheh!”

Even two other tentacles came through the body.

Phew! Phew!

“Ahhhh!”

I've saved how helpless it is to be mortal in front of a divine being. It's totally like a toy. A great power freed me and transformed me. And how long has it been? The work that seemed unfinished was finally done.

Puck.

When the tentacles that were stabbing my abdomen and back fell down, I was in the air and fell to the ground helplessly.

“Damn…. ”

My mind is still twitching with pain. I felt like I still had pain in my body, so I trembled without my lower back.

“Khh! Khh! Khh..."

But even in this desperate moment, a new message clearly appeared.

< Top position, ‘those who wander around looking for a crown’! >

“Hah... Hah... ”

I panted because I was soaked in sweat. But I finally did it. I got my third sponsorship. I was excited about how strong it would be and what SS-grade skills I could use.

“You look quite troubled, young nobleman. ”

Then the man who killed the incarnate came and reached out his hand. I got up with help and asked.

“What is your honor? ”

Beyond the effects of the boiling abyss, the wounds and grief that had filled his body were rapidly dissipating. As the winter came and spring came to life, the body that was so great became even greater.

He was truly a man of great majesty.

“It must be fun to be able to fly in such a long time! Kuhahaha!”

He looks at his body and is satisfied. Then he reveals his name.

“Beowulf is the king of Aces. ”
