I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World - I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World chapter 33

33 – Humans have been trash since a thousand years ago.

If you sprinkle the pollen of the World Tree, you can escape to a safe place until the effect wears off.

We watched the scene of slaughter where humans and dragons killed each other in this space that no one could approach.

Until the winner is decided, Mischa tells old stories to pass the time.

A thousand years ago, when Misha was the queen of the elves.

The story begins with Misha, who was guarding the World Tree, discovering a flock of flying dragons.

Misha, who was planning a war against humanity at the time, fought against the dragon alone to prevent the loss of power.

Meranir, the leader of the dragons, saw Misha fighting single-handedly against hundreds of dragons without sleeping or drinking water for more than 100 days.

“you… You are strong. That is amazing… If it was 1v1, I would have lost.”

“huh. Turn it off if you know I, Mischa Greenwood, Queen of the Elves, have no interest in dragons. I just want to exterminate the hateful human race.”

“Whoops… With great pride and dignity. Elves are said to be proud, but the rumors aren’t wrong.”

“Did you say Meranir? Child, it would be better for you to know that I am grateful for saving you and run away. If it hadn’t been for the present, with the great war ahead, I would have annihilated you, who were aiming for the World Tree, without leaving a single bone fragment.”

“If I wasn’t a human being, I wouldn’t even covet yours.”

“what are you talking about.”

“Certainly, humans are weak, but sometimes a very special guy appears. Noble queen of elves, if you want to fight them, beware of the warrior.”

“… Warrior… ?”

“yes. If only that guy is killed, humanity is doomed. But he doesn’t die easily. I wish you luck.”

Meranir added that he aimed at the World Tree for a power-up to avenge the hero, and then disappeared with his men.

Not long after that incident, Misha sparked a great war that will go down in legend.

Humans and elves, who had hated each other for a long time, finally decided to decide who should disappear from this world by force of arms.

The war unfolded in such a way that they inflicted enormous casualties on each other.

The elves were superior to each other in terms of magical power, but

Humans outnumbered elves by thousands of times, so the decision was not easy.

Then one day, Misha Greenwood received a letter from a warrior.

＜Inform the head of the elves. Even if the two sides fight like this, the damage to each other will only increase. I don’t want to shed any more pointless blood. You and I, let’s compete. It’s a fair one-on-one match. The losing side should cleanly admit defeat in the war.＞

Misha also accepted the hero’s offer because she did not want the elves, who were like her family, to die any more.

I don’t know why they chose the deserted back mountain at 3:00 in the morning, but Misha went to the meeting place alone as written in the letter.

Bondi elves do not learn the know-how to prepare for lies and deceit.

In the first place, it was because elves never did despicable things to deceive others.

If Misha had a weakness, it was that she believed that the culture of the elves would apply to human society as well.

“Because you’re like a stupid elf. You really came alone.”

Misha was stabbed in the back of the head.

The warrior who first offered to fight was invisible, and a thousand soldiers, made up of at least advanced wizards, were waiting for her.

The battle that started as a surprise in the first place ended with Misha’s defeat.

Grid Grimoire, a black magician who was notorious as the worst wizard of his time and who planned the strategy, cursed Misha, who had been beaten and fell on the ground helplessly, in the gap where she could not resist.

“The elves are mentally connected through the coordinates of the World Tree, right? In other words, it’s a single-celled organism like an amoeba, right? It would be possible to use those coordinates to put a curse on all elves.”

“That, stop… what to do… aaa!!! aaa!!!!”

“You will live forever as slaves, generation after generation.”

A black magic circle was slowly engraved on the tongue of the noble queen, as if being burned by a laser.

Misha struggled with the burning pain in her mouth.

At that time, elves all over the world also complained of the same symptoms as Misha.

This is the historical event in which elves fell into human slavery.

The reason why elves are still counted as the most traded item in the slave market.

It was the process by which the ＜inscription of a hereditary slave＞ was engraved on the elf’s body.

“aaa!!! Garbage people!!! I believed!! I still believed that there would be at least the pride of being a warrior!!!”

“The fool is an idiot. In human society, that is common sense.”

“Keugh… ugh… ”

＜Humans are creatures that feed on lies and feel no guilt, so never believe them＞

In the elven society, it is a saying that comes down like a proverb.

Misha shed tears, regretting not keeping the words her mother had told her since she was a child.

The humans began to decide among themselves how to dispose of Misha.

Ten billion shillings would be ridiculous if we sold it on the slave market, let’s celebrate the victory of mankind by displaying it in a museum, let’s give it to the king, shall we just spend it? The same disgusting ideas poured out.

Due to the imprint already engraved on her body, Misha couldn’t even use magic against the people she hated so much.

“Dragon Breath!!”

At that time, it was Meranir who appeared like a thousand horses and saved her.

He abruptly released flames and rescued Misha through the chaos.

“Queen… Elves are being hunted everywhere. Humans can attack elves, but elves cannot attack humans. In my opinion, creatures called humans never treat weaker races as equals. I will definitely make you a slave.”

“… damn… ”

“… Are you crying? Well, I’d be upset. anyone will split But I can’t undo the imprint on you.”

“noble… The elf… To be a slave to something like a human being. And in such a cowardly way… ”

Elves are connected through the world tree, so they can share each other’s feelings even at a distance.

At that time, Misha said that she heard the cries of elves being hunted all over the world.

I feel sorry for not being able to protect them as a queen

She swore an oath of hatred for the man who tricked her into a vile snare.

“someday… One day I will wash away this humiliation… Dirty humans… I will kill them all someday… .”

A thousand years have passed since he swore revenge.

Misha was eventually captured by humans and subjected to harsh torture for a thousand years, and her personality and tone all changed.

But the hatred, she said, was still burning like a raging fire, not weathered in the slightest.

“—Meranir helped me from time to time after that. Misha was an incompetent queen who lost the war, so she had no face with the elves, and she went to Meranir when she needed a companion.”

“Are you saying that Meranir is weaker than you a thousand years ago?”

“Yes. Honestly, if it was 1v1, I would have killed him in 5 minutes. However, that was a thousand years ago, and Meranir must have gotten stronger during that time.”

“Then do you think that the dragon army led by Meranir will win against the entire force of the academy?”

“no?”

“… … Well. Why?”

“Meranir is strong, but regular dragons are not intelligent, so if you analyze their movement patterns, they aren’t that scary. In addition, the academy is also a group where the best wizards are gathered, apart from their personalities. Especially Arwen Undress and Great Sage Minerva Old Book are strong. Guys like Giotto and Helen aren’t weak either.”

“Giotto is a baby… Well, compared to you, a bald man who hasn’t lived a hundred years must be like a baby. But, Misha, if Meranir dies, you will lose a friend. Is that okay?”

“Yes! That guy is a guy whose wish is to die fighting anyway, and there is no one more precious to me now than my master!”

“You hated humanity. In a sense, I am also human… ”

“master?”

“What is it, Misha? You put your finger on your lips It tastes salty.”

“Comparing Master and other humans is ridiculous. Master is the first and last person Misha loves. If you think that the humiliation of the last thousand years was to meet the master, you can forget all the painful memories.”

“Misha… ”

“Besides, Master doesn’t like humans anymore, right? It seems that you hesitated before, but it’s not that anymore, right? Papa pat! Are you going to destroy it? Nothing like humanity!”

“Of course.”

“Hee hee. Then we are a match made in heaven. oh! master! The effect of the pollen will soon be over. then… you know?”

“Okay, it’s going according to plan.”

—We returned to the plaza again.

Traces of the fierce war between dragons and humans were scattered everywhere.

Bodies piled so densely that the bottom could not be seen.

It seems that tens of thousands of people, both civilians and wizards, died without leaving this place.

The dragons also suffered massive damage and were lying on the ground.

Not a single moving dragon can be seen. It must have been a victory for the humans.

Among them, the corpse of a red dragon 10 times larger than the other dragons robbed his gaze.

Even the Fire Dragon King, Meranir, was eventually defeated.

Arwen and Minerva were panting over Meranir’s torso, catching their breath.

Did those two take it down?

The one standing besides those two… It’s just the warrior party, Giotto, and Helen Walker.

However, he literally just stood there, all his strength was drained and he seemed to have no energy to breathe.

It seems that they fought like crazy without even having time to think about the future.

“Look over there!”

Beatrice spotted me and screamed.

“Faust has reappeared! Cool! Dad, we have to catch him and kill him quickly!”

“Wait, Beatrice. We are all so tired!”

“Don’t stop, Grand Sage. I absolutely have a duty to kill him—”

Despite not being a combat agent, Beatrice’s advance approaching with the knife of a dead soldier was easily blocked by Misha with dead eyes.

“Don’t even think about laying your hands on the master.”

“Kyaaa!!”

When Misha spread her palms, a huge gust of wind blew away not only Beatrice but all the living people.

“Damn it! Almost a typhoon! I can’t even open my eyes!”

“Because of the wind… ! I can’t go to Faust… !!”

“As expected, that elf doesn’t seem to be an ordinary elf… ”

“When you are leisurely analyzing the situation? What are you going to do if you get attacked?”

“Faust and the elf climbs over the dragon’s carcass!”

“… What are you trying to do?”

After Misha said goodbye to her dead friend, Meranir’s neck was cut and his spinal cord removed.

“Stop, no way!!!”

Beatrice, who had seen a similar scene before, shuddered and screamed.

“Faust… you… ”

Serena seems to have a rough idea of what I’m going to do. Maybe it’s my brother’s influence.

“master. Mischa, whatever the master looks like.”

I covered Misha’s lips with my finger. It is a revenge of the past.

“I know, so I don’t have to tell you.”

“master… ♡”

He squeezed Meranir’s spinal fluid with his grip and swallowed it like a palm tree.

If a human drinks the spinal fluid of a demon, they turn into a demon, just like Guerrena Duranthe did.

Also, I saw in the book that they usually become reborn as demons who are much more powerful than the original owner of the spinal fluid.

In exchange for gaining strength, there is only one demerit to bear.

That you can never go back to being human again.

But to me now, that didn’t even belong to the axis of demerit.

What you get is the power to destroy the world

The only thing to lose is the chains connected to rotten humans.

“Fa, Faust you bastard!! this crap! Geary at last!! You really betrayed humans!!! Dating someone like you is the worst shame of my life—”

“Oh, how noisy, that girl.”

“town! Eupup!!”

“Misha is keeping an eye on the owner’s ex-girlfriend, so I’m telling her not to accumulate any more karma. I want you to watch the master’s evolution.”

Misha covered Beatrice’s mouth with black tape she had magically made.

Thanks to that, I was able to proceed with the demonization quietly.

The body slowly begins to change.

The scalp, back, and pubis are itchy. Something seems to be sprouting.

It doesn’t hurt as much as I thought, and there’s not much change in appearance.

It is almost identical to the human form except for the dragon’s wings, tail, and horns.

I even knew instinctively that if I wanted to, I could tuck the wings, the tail, and the horns out of sight.

However, the biggest change is the tremendous amount of magical energy gushing out of her body.

“Ahhh! As expected, the owner is cool no matter what he does!”

“Misha. Bring it.”

“Yes! Are you talking about the Holy Sword?”

The power of the Dragon King, which is comparable to the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King’s Army.

I grabbed the holy sword while internalizing it.

Indeed, how will the holy sword treat me who has become a demon?

“Holy Sword, if you acknowledge me as your master, respond.”

I swung the holy sword in the direction where there was nothing.

The land split in half like an apple, and buildings in nearby towns fell like dominoes.

“master… no way. Are you able to use both the demon’s power and the hero’s power?”

Instead of answering, I swung the holy sword once again, this time towards a living human.

One of the warrior party members was hit with sword pressure.

Blood poured out like a fountain.
