Hero without Blood or Tear

[132] Spring of the Empire. (11)

Beowulf?

Beowulf is the legendary hero who tore apart the giant Grendel!

“Young nobleman. What is your name? ”

“Please just call me Ballerstead. ”

After giving birth to Beowulf, I made further demands from the boiling abyss.

“Great one. While you're at it, could you give me a little more? ”

“You're a greedy bastard. ”

I said I needed a lot of wizards' souls. These were meant to be sent to Pezamut to make him rich. The undead have been on the Demon King's throne longer than I have.

Several Wizard Towers have been climbing recently in Morse Sola, and I intend to let them move in there. The Riches are sure to be a powerful magical force.

“There will be a great war ahead. The Demon Kings, who are commanded by the Dark Army, will press me even more. I don't have enough Wizards, so please have mercy on me. ”

“Hmm... My enemies will keep an eye on you, though. ”

He accepted the request to see if my argument made sense. He stretches out his tentacles and snatches away the nearby spirits of the wizard.

“Khhh!”

“Ahhhh!”

The souls of the tentacles scream. The expression was that they were saved, even though they were overwhelmed with pain. Even other wizards flocked to be chosen by the Tentacles.

“Ahhh! What a nuisance! ”

As the boiling abyss roars and sweeps away into tentacles, the sorcerers of the area swirl away. There were 12 wizards so selected.

“They were all great wizards who had accomplished great things in their lives. I'm going to be a slave, so play nice. ”

Impressive. You can now create twelve powerful Rich Wizards. My magical power, which was leaning on the floor, suddenly rose to the highest vertical level in the empire. As expected, it's a job to be sponsored by powerful people.

“Don't you need a woman? ”

The boiling abyss grabbed the beautiful Mi-hee with tentacles and asked.

“I've been bothering with a lot of useless meatballs lately, other than pretty ones. ”

I tried to say no to the woman, but I was crazy about one thing. It was a beauty.

Wouldn't it be nice to turn those beautiful women into Daywalker beauties and scatter them all over the Empire? This could create quite a powerful intelligence organization.

“I'll take it.”

They were also attracted to a lot of men on the ground. I'm sure it'll be a big help.

“Okay, there are 24 women here who were called Strongwives in their lifetime. Take her.”

Like this, you got the souls of 12 Grand Wizards and 24 Mi-hees.

“Here! We're done here! ”

The boiling abyss starts to retreat, shouting loudly.

“Be strong, Ballerstead! Now the battle for the constellations will begin! ”

The darkness, tentacles, and souls that filled the area of the Salt Desert disappeared like a mirage. I had no choice but to be stunned for a moment because it was so fantastic.

I shaken my head and woke up. I opened the status window first.

Acidic immunity.

Once it became more physically resistant, it was most noticeable that it gained immunity to acidity.

The new skill was SS grade. No, tentacles... The boiling abyss is made of tentacles, but I'm also tentacles.

[Your arms turn into a powerful dark tentacle. You can strangle your enemies and extract their brains. Whenever you extract a brain, there is a chance you can absorb the knowledge of your opponent. The higher the skill level, the more powerful the tentacle will be. It can also use the tentacle tip to shoot at the psychic or destructive rays.]

It was a peculiar ability. Tentacles to the mind.... Besides pulling out brains with tentacles and eating their knowledge.

After I became a wanderer looking for the crown, I thought this body was like half immersed in the dark faction.

“Your Majesty, I will now proceed to the material system. ”

“Good. The overlord follows the material system and then he possesses your body. ”

I gave the immortal scarlet ring to the spirits of the wizard and Mi-hee. This powerful magic item, which is in my soul but still in my hands, was also a good spear.

“Get in here. ”

“Very well, my lord. ”

I put the polite souls into the immortal scarlet as if I knew the position of slavery. Then I headed to the material system.

* * *

Knock, knock.

Something was falling down. It was my blood on the tip of the dagger. It was falling one drop at a time, dropping like a dew on the floor, healthy blood.

Oh, you're back.

“Balor!”

You hear Marie's sad cry. At the same time, a message appeared before my eyes.

< HP +1,500, Magic Power +500, Darkness +500! >

Gain < Strength +350, Intelligence +50, Agility +300, Health +200, Charisma +300! >

< Magic Resistance reaches 70%! >

That's a lot of progress, but that's not all. In addition, Beowulf's soul has been possessed.

“Khhh!”

A light of blue magic burst from my mouth, eyes and ears. The king's soul was truly great, like a giant dragon inside me.

- This is a great body! Ballerstead! I admire your skill. At this rate, eight halves of the power that the overachiever has exerted in his lifetime will be possible!

Beowulf seems to be boiling with blood since it's been a long time. The Maximilian, who was watching, patted the ground with tentacles of his arms as if it were funny.

“Valrusted! As expected, you have inherited the shabby power of Wilhelm. But that kind of dexterity is useless in front of the overlord. ”

However, he has unexpectedly advised to lift his spirits.

“If I surrender now, I intend to do something generous. I will send you and Sister Valpurga on the condition that you renounce your niece.”

Marie disagreed.

“No way! Sisters of Valfurga will not abandon you! ”

Valpurgis is like a daughter to her. If you are a mother born to you by Asviella, Marie is the mother you raised.

“Maximilian! Stay with me! Aren't you ashamed to see him? ”

Asviella blames Maximilian as well.

“Brother-in-law! I don't know how the spirit came back, but back off." I gave it up once, but I can't give it up twice! ”

From what Maximilian said, I didn't think the second one would be his brother-in-law.

“Valrusted! Your head's not working." I go back to being so mean and wise. Decide calmly. ”

Marie and Asviella look over at me. Both of them looked complicated. I'd like to fight alongside you, but it's hard to blame me if I fall alone because I'm hopeless.

“I'd rather have you... ”

The moment Marie tried to tell me something, she stopped.

“Marie!”

“Yes? Yes! Why?”

“You owe me big, don't you? ”

I was cursed instead of her. Personally, I was satisfied with the job of growing up without blood or tears.

“Of course. I haven't forgotten that grace. ”

“But I need to raise that debt a little more today. ”

Marie is puzzled by this.

“Huh?"

“From now on, I'm going to destroy that monster. Marie owes me one more big debt. ”

“What? That? ”

The Maximilian, who was listening, bursts into laughter.

“Balerstead, I know you will gain great power by surviving death. Hahahaha! But haven't you seen Wilhelm? What the hell are you doing with your strength? You'd better run when you have the chance! ”

But I ignored him and told Marie.

“I promise. I will destroy that monster and save Valpurgis and Marie." ”

“Really?”

“Of course. What can I do?" ”

Marie bites her lip tightly and screams.

“What can I do? Get rid of that monster scab if you can! If you do that, I'll listen to anything! ”

“You promised. He listens to everything.”

“Yes, I'll give you anything you want! If you have something to hide, let it out! Burn!”

Marie is not well. It was because he was enduring the divine power of infinity, but face-to-face with the incarnation that man could not handle.

“Marie, I'll explain everything I'm doing in an ominous way later. ”

“That's not the point. I don't want to accuse you of changing your face just because you use dark power! ”

You're an adult, Marie. I've been afraid to let Marie know I'm using the power of the one crouching in the grave. I was worried about how she would react.

But Marie assured me that even if I did use that power, I wouldn't hate her for it. Yeah, let's take Marie and the three Valpurgis seriously after this is over.

I need you to confess to the secrets of the world and what I'm fighting for. If I did, I'd be much closer to Valpurgis, Marie, than I am now.

“It looks nice and warm, but I hope that's it. ”

You feel a rush in Maximilian's voice.

“If you will not flee, I will face you with overwhelming force. No more jokes.”

Kuoooo!

Suddenly, he began to get bigger and eventually grew to 15 meters in size. The power also became more intense. I groaned.

“I guess I still have some room! ”

You played with us. Marie was bored, too.

Gulp.

I swallowed saliva without even knowing it. I feel like my whole body is full of fluffy under overwhelming pressure. I feel as if I'm about to puke right now from the pressures of a giant being.

“Valrusted. You have unlocked all the power left to teach your insolence and arrogance. Are you still going to say you want to fight? ”

I called Beowulf instead.

- Your Majesty.

- Heheheh, leave it to the overlord.

Glug glug.

As the power of the human race grew, my whole body began to shake in darkness. The whole body was covered with the darkness of the human mind. But Maximilian was not impressed at all. He's just a crushing force.

“Come! Ballerstead! Think like a rat and think like a rat... ”

At that moment, my fist was burning in Maximilian's chest. Beowulf jumps from the ground and strikes.

Kuaang!

A massive explosion erupts. A giant conical cloud of dust sweeps through everything long in front of you. Then there was a thug, a scruffy sound. As I looked at it, I saw black blood and flesh dropping from the sky.

- That was a good punch.

Beowulf rejoiced as he clenched his fist.

- What the hell is this?

With such ridiculous power, I became zinc. But just a moment. Counter straight in. I pierced the dust and stabbed something in the extreme. It was a gigantic tentacle with a spear-like tip.

Kuaaaaang!

The tentacles are swirling with darkness, poking and prodding deep bones into the untouched ground. The terrifying force condensed, changing the terrain of the area just by stabbing it.

I wasn't able to see my skills properly, but it seemed slow because of Beowulf's eyesight. I was able to avoid the attack by just seeing it with my senses.

This will do... No, why aren't we stopping him?

- Your Majesty!

I called him by surprise, but Beowulf was silent. Suddenly, I intervened and tried to avoid the body, but the tentacles were already fierce.

“Hehe!”

You can't scream properly, but you bounce back.

Kuaang! Kuaang! Kuaang!

In a row, I went in a straight line, crushing the stone buildings, and I tore down an entire huge building.

Rrrrrrrrrr!

Kuaaaaang!

- Your Majesty, why didn't you avoid it?

- You're too scared.

- Yes?

Beowulf bursts into power instead of answering.

Kuaang! Kuaang!

As the formidable power exploded, the hundreds of tons of stone that were pressing down on me flew into the sky. Beowulf, who now occupies my body, was doing something like stretching, turning his shoulders.

- You need to unwind before a real fight.

In front of you, you can feel a huge aura approaching you. Nevertheless, Bear Wolf was relaxed.

- Ballersted.

- Yes, Your Majesty.

- Do you know what happened after the incarnation that fought the overlord died?

- That would leave the system and go back to his body.

The incarnation is a part of the power of the divine being. If you die, you go back. Of course, I would try to recreate it, but that was it.

That's why sealing is an effective way to deal with incarnations. If you prevent it from returning, its spiritual existence must remain partially lost until the incarnation is liberated.

- Theoretically.

- Because that's what's natural.

But you're wrong.

Uahhhhhh!

Then another giant tentacle shot out. I mentioned it as a spear earlier, but it was a very wrong metaphor. The massive Maximilian makes you feel like you're about to break down a gate.

But I didn't avoid Beowulf again.

- Your Majesty!

Kuang!

You just raise your hand and stop the attack that seems to blow up the mountain. Very relaxed. This king, who was a hero among heroes in his life, did not step back.

Kuaang!

Stabbing and stopping power. Two powerful forces collide to create a massive shock wave. Then the whole area flattens out like a big bomb. The remaining buildings collapsed. It was like a domino that collapsed quickly.

- The one you fought me with.

- Yes, sir.

- It ended up disappearing.

The incarnate's gone? Beowulf lowers his posture as if he was about to bounce up right now when he was stuck.

- I'll show you now how to erase a part of divine existence!
