I Picked Up the Abandoned Hero - I Picked Up the Abandoned Hero chapter 133

133. Destination of Destiny

I can see the horizon.

Now this world faces its fateful end.

It is up to her choice whether this world will be destined to be forever peaceful, or whether it will be freed from fate and face a future that not even God can know.

Now all that’s left for me is to watch the results.

There was no fixed future for her, who had long since escaped her fate.

“No matter how much you have the strongest body and magical power that you can’t use even if you use it all your life, isn’t it still difficult to fake it?”

The queen lamented the fact that her toy, which she had put so much effort into, was less useful than she thought.

Of course, it didn’t really matter to her what happened to her toys, but she still hoped that she would be able to deal with her heroes and demons just in case.

But I never thought I would miss both rabbits.

It seems that the reason is that he was a fake and not a real hero.

Originally, he had to become a complete demon lord by accepting a small amount of remnants, but the problem was that he was not an official hero, so his ego could not hold on and collapsed.

They took the strengths of the originals in their own way and made them as heroic as possible, but it’s a real shame.

“If possible, I wanted the hero to remain as is…”

The queen responded with regret.

If this were to happen, she had only one method left. In fact, it was the easiest and simplest method, but it was not a method that suited her taste, so she put it off.

But since all of her alternatives failed, she had no choice but to follow her original plan.

“I guess it can’t be helped. After all, counterfeit products are less effective than the real thing.”

I tried to show off my pride in front of Alfred, but he only told the truth.

This is truly unfortunate.

Especially for the warrior who was favored by the queen.

I hoped that she would remain a hero until the end, but she had no choice.

A queen had to be able to put aside her personal feelings for her cause.

In any case, wasn’t it a long-standing wish made since our distant ancestors?

The only choice for this world to avoid its fate of destruction.

How eternal salvation is granted to this world.

Now it was time to reach the destination of destiny.

Alfred returned before Arcel arrived and decided to head somewhere else in a hurry.

She explained to Arcel, who asked about Shion’s condition, that she was just sitting there dumbfounded and then she was robbed, and thanks to her, the remnants of the Demon King were taken from her and she had to go get them back.

As he was explaining, Alfred was smiling as always.

However, this time, it felt like he was genuinely angry behind the smile, and strangely, Alfred’s mood felt colder than before, so I didn’t bother to inquire further.

At least they didn’t say he was dead, so I decided to be satisfied with that.

So, the place Alfred is heading to is an ancient temple located north of Hermod.

It is also the place where the first holy sword was discovered in the past.

Although he has no achievements other than being the first and first hero, and is not even the true first hero in actual history, this is also where the Holy Sword was located.

It is said that the place where the holy sword was discovered always had a sacred energy flowing through it, and demons did not even dare to approach there.

“Alfred, wait a moment!”

“Huh? Why.”

While running for a while, Arcel called Alfred over.

“You are in too much of a hurry now!”

Of course, there were many pitfalls along the way.

When you enter a certain area, it explodes, monsters appear, or even acid rain falls.

It seemed like the queen had prepared it in advance.

However, it was meaningless as Alfred ignored them all with his body and destroyed them all.

“I know that your body will regenerate right away, but… Isn’t it still too urgent?”

But Arcel was a little worried about Alfred doing that.

Alfred feels the same pain even if he repairs the wound immediately.

But Alfred didn’t even care about that and just ran quickly.

“You’re uncharacteristically impatient. Anyway, according to that damn elf, this is the only destination. It doesn’t look like they’ll run away, so it would be better to just blow them away from afar, right?”

And if you were thinking of dealing with the runaway queen, like Clen said, it would be better to just blow her away from afar this time.

“Grandma Clen, then I’ll ask Grandma Clen. Grandma Clen, why did she try to defeat Hermod Kingdom herself back then?”

“…You are asking the obvious. They not only set fire to my territory, they also injured my people. “You can’t kill those guys easily.”

“Me too.”

Alfred chuckled and turned his head.

“I don’t let anyone mess with my family. Even if you touch it, only I can touch it and no one else can.”

“It seems like there is an incongruous family love.”

After hearing the answer, Clen crossed her arms as if she understood.

“…Still, I’m worried that you don’t take care of yourself too much.”

Arsel knows what Alfred means, but he is still worried.

“It’s okay, being beaten by our hero for two hours was so much more painful that I felt like I was going to die.”

“Oh, no, isn’t it too much to say that now? “Why do you keep talking about that incident today?”

“Really. I was sick. “I almost died.”

Alfred shook his head with a straight face.

In the end, Arcel’s face only turns red at Alfred’s reaction.

“It was refreshing for me to watch, and I thought the warrior was better at hand-to-hand combat than at swordsmanship. Even if he breaks a joint, he pulls it out and puts it back together.”

If you think about it, it’s funny.

At that time, Alfred was beaten to a pulp by Arcel to the point that even Clen was impressed.

In fact, after being beaten until his entire body became as soft as rice cake, he regenerated and barely returned to its original form.

Although, Arcel’s concern for Alfred could be seen as shameless.

“Besides, there’s another reason why I’m in a hurry, because I don’t know what the queen is planning. There must be another ulterior motive behind her going to that temple with the remnants of the Demon Lord. “I don’t know what she’s after.”

The remnants of the Demon King are so dangerous that even a very small amount of contact can paralyze even an elf’s consciousness.

Furthermore, as in the case of Morian, it is possible to completely erode someone with strong power, such as a warrior, and create a new Demon Lord.

Of course, there are no more clones of heroes like Morrían, but there may be other targets.

“…I understand. Then hurry even more. However, I wish you would stop hitting the trap all on your own like you did a little while ago. Wouldn’t it be possible for you to just repel it with magic?”

“It’s annoying… I can’t help it if you say that. Okay. “I will do that.”

And again Alfred hurried her steps.

Instead, this time everyone defended themselves and moved forward safely.

Thanks to this, Arcel, who was following behind, felt a little relieved.

It was because, unlike himself, Alfred did not do foolish things such as being swayed by emotions or making mistakes.

†††

The place we arrived at was a very old temple.

Is it because it hasn’t been managed for a long time, or is it because it’s too remote to be managed?

For a temple built to commemorate the first warrior, it didn’t look very good.

There were traces of collapse and destruction due to the weathering of many years here and there, and the few pillars supporting the temple were barely maintained by plant stems.

“…Alfred, is it really true that the queen is here? “I saw the queen die with my own eyes.”

However, as Arcel said, the queen was actually dead.

Besides, there is no sign of anything here.

“I can’t feel any signs of people here. If what you say is true, there will definitely be one knight holding a holy sword.”

I can’t feel anything.

It was once said that monsters could not approach due to divine magic, but that is now a thing of the past.

This temple, left with only loneliness and emptiness, seemed to symbolize the end of the first warrior.

It is said that the warrior was so weak that no one knew about it on the road, and was discovered by a nearby villager after time had passed and the body had completely decayed.

“…You’re right, the queen is dead. I saw the body too. So I tried not to worry about it anymore. “The one who lets down his guard at the end is just like me and my grandmother.”

Alfred clicked his tongue and shook his head.

The problem was that Zion suffered.

She lost her mind because she thought that everything was over since both she and the queen were dead.

“Follow me, there is a smell from over there.”

“Her grandmother is smart, she did well to bring her grandmother with her. “You have a better sense of smell than my pet dog.”

“Alfred, you’d better shut your mouth before I rip the back of your neck off.”

Then Clen seemed to have found something in her.

“There you are, isn’t that guy holding the holy sword the knight you’re talking about?”

Where Clen was pointing, there was a knight who looked like he was praying while holding a holy sword in his hand.

According to rumors, vampires are not just able to smell smells or scents, but can sense higher energy through their sense of smell.

And what is that energy in general?

“Alfred, something is strange.”

“There’s no need to check that, it’s already dead.”

“But I will check it first.”

Means the energy of death.

Arsel heard Alfred’s words and ran to where the knight was.

“…I see, it’s just as you said.”

The knight seemed to be praying on one knee toward something, and when he lifted the robe covering his head, there was a mummy who seemed to have dried up and died a long time ago.

But this knight is clearly the knight who robbed Sion of the remnants of the devil.

It was strange to see that it had dried up and died a long time ago.

“Grandma Clen, is that by any chance Grandma Clen’s doing?”

“I don’t eat such bad things. The bones and blood of former warriors were transplanted into the body. “Just looking at the ingredients makes it seem like it tastes rotten. Do you think you’ll eat it?”

Clen shook her head in disgust.

If you look at the state of the article, it looks like he got his blood sucked by a vampire, but it’s been quite a while since Clen stopped drinking human blood in the first place.

“Are there any vampires other than Grandmother Clen?”

“There is no one here. I executed those guys with my own hands. “If not, they would either stay quietly in my territory or be dead already.”

As far as Clen knows, most of the other vampires were either purged or lived as if they were dead within the territory.

“There is no trace of it having been sucked blood in the first place. This thing did not die by being sucked blood, but its life itself was absorbed. No, would it be correct to say that I gave it to you?”

Furthermore, when I looked at the body, there were no signs of being harmed by a vampire.

Then whose work was it?

No, what exactly is it like that for?

Looking at the circumstances, the knight would have been the only limb the queen could use right now, but the knight had turned into a mummy and was dead.

He died while praying, as if he had been a martyr, without any signs of resistance.

For what…?

“Alfred, something seems wrong here. Strange. According to what you said, I think the queen ran away with the demon king’s remnants and the holy sword. But this…”

I flinch.

“…Mistel?”

Then, Arcel felt something abnormal about the holy sword on his waist.

“What’s wrong, did you find out something?”

“It’s not like that. But suddenly Mistel… Is shaking.”

The hilt of the sword was trembling.

It was as if the Holy Sword was scared.

However, even when facing the demon king, the holy sword never trembled.

“Hey, you two. “Look back.”

When Arcel was confused by the abnormality of the Holy Sword, Clen frowned at her and pointed behind her.

Pajik!

“No, how can that-“

Arsel looked in disbelief.

It was not because of anything else, but because there was a holy sword floating in the sky.

Six holy swords flying in the sky.

The holy swords are circling around the holy sword that Morian used.

“This is absurd. Could it be that that elf survived even though his heart was cut in half? How did it get here so fast? “I’m not ready to welcome her guests yet…”

And then the queen’s voice was heard.

She looked around to see where the sound was coming from, but to no avail.

From the beginning, the Queen was nowhere to be seen in this area, and not only was there no sign of her, not even the slightest trace of her magic power could be found.

“Isn’t that what you want to say? Do your best with Naeronambuldo. I made a hole in your chest. But are you still alive like this? Or do you have any of Mr. Ba’s descendants among your ancestors?”

“I think it’s a bit harsh to refer to our Hermod ancestors like that.”

“Yes, I will correct it. “We should also listen to the cockroaches’ opinions on this.”

However, the voice continued to be heard, and soon Arcel was able to figure out where the voice was coming from.

“Alfred! That’s the holy sword! “The holy sword Morrigan used is mixed with a foreign energy!”

Arsel shouted, pointing to the holy sword in the center.

Because she was a warrior herself, she was able to notice the abnormality the fastest.

It is Morian’s holy sword located in the center, and the queen’s consciousness can be felt in the holy sword that was used by the Demon King in the past.

“There is nothing we can do. “I’m not ready to welcome her guests yet, but-”

And finally, the holy sword carried by the martyred knight ascends to the sky as if ascending to heaven.

The knight’s red blood rising from the floor surrounds the central holy sword, and in the remaining holy swords, the hero’s power contained in the holy sword itself begins to concentrate in one place.

“Do you know anything?”

“What are you talking about?”

At that moment, Alfred raised his finger in the sky and lowered it.

“It is a national rule to attack when transformed.”

Cow wow!!!

In an instant, the giant skeleton’s fist struck the holy sword.

“…You’re being rude.”

“Yes, the original villain is a bit mean… More than anything, isn’t it stupid to just wait for him to transform?”

Alfred said with a wide smile.

The queen reacted with astonishment.
