Episode 105. How to Create a Hero (3).
Kael, who had been covering his ears with his fingers at Lysa’s voice, approached the wyvern, picked up the empty ball that had fallen on the ground, and held it to the wyvern’s leg right in front of him.
– Bam.
With just a light touch, the wyvern shrank back down to its original size, and took the form of a doll inside the ball.
“The forest, the forest…”
Even though he had put the wyvern back into the ball before it could move properly, the ground around where the wyvern had been had already been dug deep and the trees had been trampled and crushed terribly.
Lisa, who had been blankly staring at the sight, glared sharply at Kael and said.
“The forest. Restore it properly! Got it?!”
If it was land, it would be easy to restore it, but even if he was a great wizard, it would be difficult to restore a tree that was already broken and crushed, so Kael’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as if expressing his difficulty.
And when Raina saw him like that, she spoke softly.
“The forest has recovered quite a bit in the meantime. It will be okay to plant new tree seedlings.”
“That’s great. I’ll make sure to plant a new tree soon. If there’s a tree you want, just let me know in advance.”
When Kael answered the solution that Laina had provided, Laina’s sharp gaze quickly softened.
“I’ll tell you the additional techniques and arrangements. You try them out.”
After restoring the deeply dug land, the twins sitting in front of Kael listened to his explanation of the spells and arrangements he had added, and fortunately, they seemed to understand Kael’s explanations quite easily.
but….
“Up to intermediate levels, the magical power seems fine. From advanced levels, with the magical power of the two of us, we’ll probably only be able to activate two or three spells a day at most.”
Lisa spoke with a very serious expression, and Kael nodded to her words.
“Okay. From now on, I’ll take care of the upper-level monster cores, and I’ll ask you two to take care of the lower-level and intermediate-level monster cores.”
After dividing up the work like that, he went to the basement with Lina and Raisa and took all the balls and cores containing the high-level monster dolls that had been created. He also took a few balls of low-level and mid-level monsters.
Because there was a risk of the basement being damaged if the monster’s abilities were to be reproduced, Kael asked the twins whether to take them back to the Black Forest, but the twins answered that they would test the smaller monsters first.
“If you ever need to move to the Black Forest, just call me.”
With those words, Kael disappeared from the basement and went straight to his office. On the desk in his office were newly piled documents, and on a tray with a warming spell were rice balls that Hugo must have left behind.
Kael, who returned to his office using teleportation magic because he didn’t want to waste time going there himself, stared blankly at his rice ball, and after a while, disappeared from his office.
The documents on the desk in the office he left were still there, but the rice balls on the tray had disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, while Kael was busy preparing to become the hero he had been made to be, the High Priest, Matthias, returned to the Temple of the Beginning and called together the Chosen One, Lars, and his party.
The pure white blindfold covering his eyes and the soft curve of his mouth were no different than usual, but Lars, Cloris, and Adrina, who had seen him several times, could quickly sense that he was in a bad mood.
“Ah, you came.”
Matthias greeted them with a kind voice, and as the three stood in a row in front of him at his desk, he began to state the reason he had called them.
“The second trial has arrived.”
The second ordeal. At those words, Lars met Matthias’s eyes hidden behind the blindfold.
“You will face the one who brings death.”
“He who brings death… .”
“After hearing about the ordeal given by the gods, I and the high priests held a meeting and decided that the one who brought death might be someone who dabbled in black magic.”
Unlike the first trial, where he said he would know when he met her, Matthias let the words slip as if he already knew who the subject of the second trial was.
Those who were certain that he would continue his speech were silent, and Matthias continued with a satisfied smile on his face at the attitude of the three.
“When the second ordeal came to me. Was it by God’s guidance? There was someone who had intruded into the Temple of the Beginning.”
Those who entered the temple that was opened to commemorate the Day of the Beginning were hiding in the dungeon that had been locked tightly for a long time without being used.
“He was originally a palace magician. But it is said that he revived a corpse while using black magic. Because of that, a secret warrant was issued for him in the palace, and the place he fled to was this. The Temple of the Beginning.”
The only way to revive a corpse was through black magic. Usually, when a human dabbled in black magic, they were called a ‘necromancer’, and if they were discovered using black magic, they were immediately executed.
“But… if you are from the palace magician, His Majesty the Emperor has the authority to punish you.”
Cloris asked cautiously, and Mathias answered her question right away, as if he had expected her to ask.
“I happened to see His Majesty the Emperor today and came to ask about the punishment for that person. I asked if he could hand over the authority to punish him to us since he had trespassed in the temple, and he readily agreed.”
The reality was completely different.
Matthias didn’t even tell Emperor Bastian that a second trial had come, and the only thing they talked about today was the custody and custody of Mabel.
But there was no one here who could ask Bastian about that fact directly, and there was no one who could deny Matthias’ words that he had received a revelation from God.
“What if he is not the one who brings death in the second trial?”
“After Cloris’ question, Adrina asked again,” Matthias said, turning his gaze to her.
“You already know that you can’t kill an innocent person with the Holy Sword, right?”
It was said that if the person in the dungeon was not a person who called for death, he would not be killed by the holy sword.
However, this too was a fallacy.
It was obvious that the Holy Sword would not kill those who had not committed a sin, but didn’t he say it himself? He said that those who had committed the sin of reviving a corpse using black magic were the ones who had committed the sin.
The act of calling back a soul that has returned to God would be an act of rebellion against God. There is no way that someone who has committed such an act could be safe from the Holy Sword.
“I know what you are thinking and worrying about. Do you know that the dungeons of the temple are like a maze?”
“… I think I’ve heard of it.”
Lars answered softly, and Matthias paused for a moment as if surprised by his answer before answering, “I see,” along with a description of the temple’s dungeon.
“In addition to the entrance connected to the temple, the dungeon has another exit connected to the outside. If the god forgives him, he will be able to escape by going through the intricate maze, but if not, he will wander in the maze forever and die, so it took the form of a maze.”
“Are there actually people who got out of there…?”
“Yes. If we look at past records, there were definitely people who escaped the maze, and they were sent out with an indulgence, meaning that all their sins were forgiven.”
– Mate.
Matthias clapped his hands lightly.
“The one who is believed to be the one who brings death is currently roaming freely in the dungeon. I assume that if you enter the dungeon and encounter him, he will be the one who brings death. If you do not encounter him and he safely finds the exit and comes out, it means that he is not the one who brings death in the ordeal.”
Matthias said with a slightly darker smile.
“Is 30 minutes enough time to pack? I’ll see you back here in 30 minutes.”
Lars, Cloris, and Adrina left the Chancellor’s room and headed to the annex where they were staying, only to run into Mabel loitering in front of Cloris’s room in the annex hallway.
“Mabel?”
“Sister!”
When Cloris called Mabel in front of her room, Mabel heard her voice and came towards her with a bright smile and a cute jumping sound.
“What’s going on?”
Cloris asked worriedly if the child had come to her because of something, but Mabel shook her head and rummaged through the bag she was carrying, pulling out a paper bag.
“The watcher in the annex… no, the high priestess said that Lars, Cloris, and Adrina will be leaving soon due to the second trial! I’ve been waiting to give you this!”
When he handed her a brown paper bag that she couldn’t see inside, Chloris accepted it absentmindedly and looked at the child, who lifted her toes.
When Cloris bent down as if to whisper, Mabel whispered in her ear.
“I put in some snacks I brought from home and some holy water I made.”
The corners of Cloris’ mouth, which had been smiling at the word snack, hardened at the word holy water.
They were moving on the temple’s words to pass the trials given by the gods. However, the temple only showed signs of using them as tools. It never provided proper support.
After passing the first ordeal.
Even when Lars lost consciousness and was in pain, they just stood by and watched as if it was a natural thing to do, and even though he himself went to the Archangel and demanded that he send at least a high-ranking priest, if not that, that he should at least give him holy water.
Even the High Priest refused his request, saying that it was a pain that only the chosen ones could endure.
“…Mabel.”
“Lars… What if you feel sick again after the ordeal is over? Then write it secretly. Okay?”
At Mabel’s added whisper, Cloris didn’t even notice the paper bag she had accepted getting crumpled. She hugged it tightly.
“Thank you… Mabel.”
“Hehe, but instead, you have to hurry up and pass the trials and come back? It’s boring without my sisters and Lars! It’s no fun hanging out with the high-ranking priests!”
Mabel said her last words in a loud voice as if to let the high-ranking priests watching her around hear, and then she gently lowered her clenched fists from top to bottom and shouted, “Fighting!”
“Lars and Adrina, be safe on your way back! I’ll be waiting!”
Mabel greeted Lars and Adrina, who were watching with curious eyes as to what the two people behind Cloris were talking about, and then quickly disappeared into her room.
Cloris slowly straightened her bent back and looked back at the two people.
“Did you hear that? Let’s go quickly.”
After packing their bags, they met Matthias again and followed his guidance into the dungeon.
– Thud.
The heavy door closed, and she reached the dark basement below through a long staircase. She opened the paper bag Mabel had given her, lighting up her surroundings with magic.
