I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World - I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World chapter 46

46 – Could it be that the Goddess abandoned mankind?

‘Damn it. I ate a room’

Flying at breakneck speed, I looked at my empty right hand with longing eyes.

‘Is this the purpose from the beginning? I lost the Holy Sword.’

The gale caused by the great sage was already at the level of a natural disaster.

I couldn’t open my eyes properly because of the wind mixed with gravel and sand, and most of all, the moment I neglected the holy sword while holding on to the fallen Misha, a gale struck my wrist as if it was aiming for that moment.

‘First of all, I’ll make you let go of the holy sword, and then send me away to secure time. Indeed, it is worthy of the name of the great sage. If I had kept fighting on the spot, I don’t know if I would have won.”

Regardless of victory or defeat, he had no confidence to fight while protecting Misha.

Well, I think the judgment at that point was correct. Because I didn’t want to let Misha die.

‘Let’s not have regrets. Even if you don’t have a holy sword, you still have the power of the Dragon King. Besides… ‘

“Um… master… Misha will protect you… master… I only trust Misha.”

Even if it’s a little stupid, it’s because there’s a trustworthy elf by my side.

— Even so, it really flies for a very long time.

Crossing the border and crossing the sea, we flew for two full days.

I couldn’t sleep for a while because I was worried that I might drop Misha while sleeping.

The sea continued for a while, and then land began to appear again.

“Is that the Demon Continent we’ve only heard about? Certainly, it is different from Pangea.”

The color of the beach is ominously red.

The vegetation, rocks, mountains, and lakes were completely different from those of the human world.

In addition, the smell of blood that could be felt even in the air and the cries of demons coming from here and there made it clear that this place was the Demon Continent.

“By the way, how long will this fly? If you come to the Demon Continent, can you stop?’

Suddenly, I remembered a conversation I had with the great sage.

“I also have time to decorate my work.”

“I’ll send you to a place where you can’t use that time.”

“Isn’t this, by any chance, falling into an absurd place… ”

—The more foreboding it is, the better it fits.

The cries of the demons subsided.

The harsh environment in which it is difficult for even the toughest demons to survive began to come into view.

A sandy desert as wide as the sea.

It is an oasis, and suspicious bubbles are bubbling in places where water is gathered.

Even the lips are dry.

In an environment like this where even a cactus would not be able to live, just one.

There was a tall, gigantic tree that didn’t match the surrounding landscape at all.

No, even the expression giant is not enough.

It is almost a mountain.

I can’t even see how high the top is.

Suddenly, however, the direction of the gale turned vertically and lifted us up.

“It looks like it has arrived.”

At the top of the tree that even pierced the clouds, there was a land the size of a small island.

Among them, we fell right into the middle where the strongest mana was gathered.

It seems that the great sage used the banishment magic aiming at this exact spot.

“—Come. did i say He’s someone we don’t know.”

“But you are not human. I got this right.”

“… Are there elves too? who is this elf? It’s a face I haven’t seen on the Demon Continent.”

“It’s subtle, but it smells like humans. Gerena, just like you.”

east west south north.

four people… No, the four demons reacted with interest, as if they knew we were coming.

He must have sensed our aura from afar.

It would be more strange for those with keen senses not to notice my power as the dragon king, or the power of Misha, the elven queen even though she is asleep.

But just now, the guy with horns on his head and fangs reaching down to his chin, who looked like he was advertised as a demon, was called [Gerena], right?

If it’s Gerena, that’s it.

Serena’s older brother.

“huh… Shut up Obyte. A child as disgusting as his name. It’s already been more than 10 years since I was human. Now, I won’t let you go if you say something rude to me, who is at the peak of the demons.”

“When did you say you peaked? Do you want me to blow your cheeky neck right here?”

“If you can, do it. disgusting child… !”

Indeed, only one out of four has a nearly human-like appearance.

A man named Gerena, except for the fact that his eyes are red, he is a normal human being.

A face like the male version of Serena.

Undoubtedly.

This guy is Gerena Durante.

He is the most famous of many traitors.

“now. A guest has arrived, and the ugly fight is enough for both of you. The highest officer in the Demon King’s Army, the name of the Four Heavenly Kings cries.”

The only Hong Il-do arbitrated the fight by clapping his hands.

Her pointed ears caught my eye.

… Are you an elf?

“Kekek. What are you talking about and fucking? It’s not a day or two that we fight among ourselves. Honestly, I want to kill you guys as much as humans.”

“Obite, there is some truth in what you say. If I have the strength, I want to kill you all and lead the demon army alone. If that were the case, humanity would have already been destroyed. But I had a strange dream the other day. It was a dream in which I heard a voice say, “A savior has appeared to save the elves.” I think that person might have something to do with the dream.”

“Aren’t you elves already saved by the time they were branded as slaves?”

“Oh, shut up, Gerena. I don’t want to engage in a slaughter battle in front of guests.”

how to say

these guys… Are you very bad?

For now, assuming from the contents of the conversation, these four demons are probably the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King’s Army.

You sent me to the lair of the Great Sage’s son, the Four Heavenly Kings.

“Hey you. I haven’t said a word since a while ago, so say something.”

Gerena crossed her arms and glared at me before blurting out:

“Who the hell are you? I feel the dragon’s power in you. For what purpose did you come here? If it’s a being that will harm the Demon King or a human spy, you’d better not expect to come back here alive.”

“… Are you Guerrena Durante? That he betrayed the hero’s party at the decisive moment and committed himself to the demon king’s army?”

“Hoo. I must have been famous in the human world. The continent where those stupid gangsters live has never returned.”

“I guess so. To say that a human-born demon has risen to the position of the Four Heavenly Kings. You must have put in a lot of effort to get ahead.”

“It wasn’t even that hard. Because I became a demon by eating the spinal fluid of the Four Heavenly Kings in the first place. From the start, he possessed skills comparable to those of the Four Heavenly Kings. Well, even though I was tired from the idiots saying that I couldn’t believe it because I was human. As a representative example, Obyte, the leader of the Orc tribe, who ranks first among all races in terms of brain size compared to his size, raised a dispute.”

When Gerena pointed at the green demon with her chin, the answer came back, “Do you want to follow it?”

“But why don’t you reveal your identity soon? Where are you from?”

“I am like you, Gerena. I am also a former human who ate the dragon king’s spinal fluid and became a demon.”

“Hoo… Right. Not too long ago, I heard the news that the King of the Fire Dragon gathered his troops and marched to Pangea. Right. Did you eat it? So how did you find out about this place? This is not a place you can get lost in.”

“I didn’t come on my own will. It came because of the magic of the great sage.”

“Right. So, the last question. I advise you to think carefully and choose.”

Gerena gathered her magic in her palm and said.

Instinctively, I hugged Misha tightly to protect her.

“Do you want to die now? Or will you die later?”

—Meanwhile, the survivors of Aurelia’s demise were devising countermeasures against the threat of Faust and Misha.

Even though the country was ruined, hope remained for them.

That is, the hope of the holy sword.

Great sage Minerva Old Book’s witty fine play accomplished the feat of retrieving the holy sword.

With a holy sword, you can somehow resist the demons.

People longed for the advent of a new hero who would use the holy sword.

In fact, the dimension summoning circle that summoned Faust and Kwak Dong-soo was a special magic that had a cooldown of exactly 100 years.

However, it was not that there was no way to invalidate the waiting time.

Charnik Agios.

He, who was considered one of the most promising candidates for the next wise man, made the waiting time of the dimension summoning circle to 0 seconds in exchange for his life.

Feeling infinitely grateful for that noble sacrifice, the group of survivors performed a ceremony to summon a new hero from the collapsed Great Hall.

Minerva Old Book, the faculty of the academy, and the party members who were supposed to welcome the new hero waited in the front row, anxiously waiting for the moment of summoning.

Originally, it was customary for the warriors to decide the party members, but this time it was an emergency situation, so they agreed to keep the existing members.

And, finally, a new hero was summoned from Earth.

“Well? What, what is this. Could it be this world? Ooh oh oh clothes! Finally, another world Kitaaa!!! Where is the princess? Can you have a fling with the goddess?!”

““… … … … .””

A man who made everyone stunned and seemed not to be a warrior’s vessel appeared.

As for the height… 160 or so?

He weighed just over 100kg, and his skin was dirty as if he hadn’t taken care of it at all, and above all, his tone of voice was cocky.

Still, a hero is a hero in that he came from another world.

Saint Beatrice approached to offer the holy sword while smiling awkwardly.

“Yeah, warrior. Please grab this holy sword and save us.”

“Woohyo clothes! Holy Sword Kitaat!!! what can i do with this? By the way, I prefer to play with women rather than fight—”

It was the moment when Beatrice was about to hand over the holy sword.

The stone statue of Goddess Irene, placed in the center of the auditorium, suddenly distorted as if it were angry like fire, then moved on its own and killed the summoned warrior with its palm.

The blood of the people of this world was scattered everywhere.

A stampede that was greeted like a mosquito.

It was a sudden death with no form left except for the glasses he was wearing.

“Oh my… medical charge. Why a stone statue?”

“Is it because he is not a vessel to become a hero?”

“Did the goddess use her hand beforehand because it seems like she can’t save us anyway?”

“No, if you put it that way, Kwak Dong-soo… ”

“Rather than that, what you just did didn’t help us at all.”

“Are you going to draw another dimension summoning circle? Nonsense! In the first place, I made it with almost irrational numbers this time too!”

“Above all, this is the first time I’ve seen a stone statue move.”

“That stone statue was made by Goddess Irene while she was alive, carved out of a stone that contained her magical power.”

“That’s why I’ve been drawing summoning circles here, saying that it’s a sacred stone statue with Irene’s will.”

“So you’re saying it was the goddess-sama’s will to kill that otherworlder?”

People were more anxious at the thought that they might have been abandoned by the goddess than the fact that the hero candidate they had invested a great deal of money and magic into had died.
