Tale of the Fake Hero - Chapter 296

Season 3: Episode 104

The hero I saw and learned, the end of ‘Black Summer’ (9)

“Ah, you’re awake.”

Swallowed in emptiness, Lucas closed his eyes and when he opened them, he saw that the world had turned into a dark green color.

Where is this place? The feeling of the ground through the Eldia Primoa boots was strange.

The data library built into the armor produced these analysis results.

[Imitating the nature of the abyss, but originating from light.]

Yeah, this slimy texture is similar to the abyss… … but it’s strange that the Primordial armor doesn’t cause any backlash.

Lucas raised his head.

The kid who had just been hit in the back appeared first.

“Where am I?”

As soon as he said that, someone appeared standing next to the girl.

It was a being with eyes and hair that were exactly the same colors as this world.

He was a very handsome young man, although he was on the small side. He had the presence of both a human and a fairy. He was half-demon.

“What kind of guy are you?”

“The master of this space, I guess. If another guy had said something like that, I would have just killed him for being a nuisance, but he’s not that great of a guy that Eldia would recognize.”

“Then I don’t care. Kid, where is Anridal’s core? Tell me before I cut it down.”

As I was about to aim my yoniulan at the boy, the young man stuck out his tongue and pointed to the sky with his fingertips.

“If that’s the case, it’s up there.”

The sun? No, it wasn’t the sun. It was a ball of fire floating high in the sky.

No, that’s Bell’s Flame… …?

Lucasel’s thoughts were very accurate. That was the flame created by Akira of the Red Flame, the incarnation of the Fire Dragon Bel’dakidun.

“Take it if you can, Eldia Nari. Of course, if you can climb up there and get it.”

No problem.

If you repeatedly build a foundation of magic power, you can pull it out right away.

Of course, that would have been the case if bizarre creatures hadn’t been crawling out from all directions.

“But what should I do with this? My little brats have no manners at all, so they won’t let me take it. Hmm.”

It is a creature of the void.

During the Anridal Incident in the 16th century, the beings of the void that were said to have suppressed Anridal’s power came out endlessly, truly endlessly.

“That’s funny. Do you think you can beat me?”

The power of Yoniulan was such that it could easily tear apart those void monsters with a single swing.

But the numbers don’t decrease.

Rather, it only increases in multiples.

The creatures of the void who have reached the peak of their power split at the moment of death, and in that splitting, each gain new life and are resurrected.

until when?

Until the sorcerer’s power runs out.

“Of course you can’t win. Even at a glance, you’re stronger than me. You seem stronger than Akira Nari.”

Camilla looked up at the sorcerer’s face in a daze.

Yeah, this is the guy… … .

The first apostle of the void, Arzen… … .

Even though what remains in this sealed area is not the main body (it died a long time ago), but a residual thought, it is still able to wield such powerful power.

“But it’s not like I can’t win, it’s just that I can’t hold on to it. That’s what it was made for in the first place.”

Even as Argen spoke, the creatures of the void splitting and multiplying were a nightmare in and of themselves.

Release of the Holy Sword of Yonniulan.

The power of Soul Rupture can annihilate the target without division or multiplication, but even in Eldia, it is not possible to use the Holy Sword Release repeatedly indefinitely.

“I lived for about 50 years after I finished this seal with Akira Nari, right? During that time, I continued to pour my maximum power into this seal whenever I had the chance. So what you’re dealing with now is a ‘summoner who has stored up 50 years of power.’”

The indicator of a summoner’s power is magic power. More than any other wizard, the absolute amount of magic power determines the strength of that power.

The Apostle of Void is a summoner class.

It’s similar to the Summoning Wizard’s power principle in that it deals with creatures of the void, but it stores 50 years’ worth of power?

“Even if I can’t, I can hold you for 10 years. But please, can you get rid of me sooner? This space has to disappear so I can disappear along with the main body. Why am I the only one trapped here, sob sob, letting you watch such fun things, puhahahahahahaha!”

… … and as recorded in many unofficial histories, he was the madman of madmen.

“Hey, Inma, stop dawdling around and get out now. This place is actually prohibited for minors. Look at my demons. They’re exhibitionists, so they’re all naked. Is that okay? Kids these days are so shameless, don’t they feel ashamed when they see that?”

At that time, Lucasel was swinging his Yonyulan repeatedly, but he couldn’t take a step anywhere.

Don’t give up… … .

The goal is… … .

The goal is right ahead… … .

But the speed of summoning servants rivals that of the insect lord, Kelek-Shak… … He cannot make it through alone.

“You fool, you can’t even imagine what you’ve just done… … .”

Cut, tear, pierce, cut again, tear again, pierce again.

Again, again, again.

If only there had been one comrade who could have dug into the gap created by Yoni Ulan.

“Everything was right before my eyes, but I completely cut off the lineage of dog deaths… … .”

Anyone is fine.

Just one person.

Even if there was just one more Eldia, they would be nothing compared to the True King of the Abyss.

“The world was just around the corner, returning it to normal───!”

If Alcaeus had been in front.

He would have converted that phase into lightning and cut down these summoned beings at the speed of light before they could split.

「──Because of you, a snotty-nosed fool who knows nothing about the world of swords!」

If only Carduel had been by my side.

He would have aimed straight at the sorcerer through the gap.

“That crazy world──!”

If only Surviel had been by my side.

If the gap wasn’t wide enough, it would have been completely drilled into a hole.

「──A crazy world that demands unconditional sacrifice from the strong!」

If only I was with Enuel again.

If he were the strongest among us, he would have completely… … .

“I made it so that it would continue to persist──!”

In this cruel world of swords.

He shed more blood than anyone else, and bled more than anyone else.

The roar of a being steeped in blood more deeply than anyone else.

“──It’s not a dog’s death!”

The sound that stood against that roar was extremely faint, but it was still a cry that shone with its own conviction.

“I wasn’t brainwashed either──!”

In the world of the strong, where the creed of Lucas prevails, he will not be able to meet his master. He was an extremely small and insignificant weakling.

What was supposed to happen didn’t happen.

What would be in a world where relationships that are meant to be continued do not? There would only be fear.

“You know very well that since we received the light first, we have only fought to pass on that light to the next generation!”

A world of darkness where nothing can be seen, that is Camilla’s world. The Master came as light into that darkness.

That’s Camilla’s warrior.

The path of the warrior that Camilla sees, learns, admires, resembles, and aims for. The light of the warrior.

“Shut up!”

The remaining ideological eyes of Arzen, the Apostle of Void, trembled.

This is ridiculous… … .

You’re saying that you’re going to break through all those numbers and attack here? Is this the power of Eldia that supported the on the front lines during the mythical era?

‘I wondered if I would ever see such inaction as Akira Nari in my life, but I guess I will see it even after I die… . . . ‘

Although it was not the time to be amazed, I found myself gasping in sheer awe at the power.

“Get out of here, kid!”

When Yonniulan charged forward, tearing the void of the sky with purple light, and when Arzen desperately reached out his hand, Camilla did not dodge.

“I hate Eldia… … .”

I’m just confessing… … .

Compared to the scale of the battles and the length of time that Eldia has fought, it is so insignificant… … .

But it still leads to the same confession of life… … .

“I hate the current Eldia more than anyone else… … .”

Beyond the light of that warrior, at the very edge of the horizon of that light, there was ‘them’.

The first five firewoods, Eldia.

The firewood that carried the light to the lowest and darkest places in the world. The beings that burned their own bodies over and over again to keep the light from going out.

“… … I want to say thank you so much to the past Eldia-sama.”

Because those beings existed in the beginning, the lineage of the firewood could continue to this moment today.

First, those beings.

Because you have fulfilled your calling of sacrifice and devotion, because you have been loyal to the mission of carrying light to the whole world, even giving up your life.

“Thank you very much, Lucasel.”

That’s why I say this with all my heart… … .

In tribute to the first piece of firewood that allowed me to meet the Master… … .

Was it possible to bow deeply and make a prostration?

“Oh my god, what kind of speed is this! This is not going to work. Come out, Il-ak! Il-beol!”

It will be too late for Arzen, the Apostle of the Void, to summon his best confidants, who can be considered the final bastion.

‘no way.’

The void creature tried to drag Camilla’s body somewhere else, but it would be too late.

A blow that drew out Eldia’s full strength.

An orbit that could tear Camilla apart and even scatter Argen’s remaining thoughts, it could be called a martial art.

‘Are you after me too? Are you trying to end this empty world?’

Even though death was so certain, Camilla did not die.

Because it stopped.

The roar of Yoniulan was right in front of Camilla’s heart. More precisely, in front of the remnants of the past that floated over the girl’s figure.

– Doesn’t your heart tremble just thinking about it, Lucas?

It’s a remnant of an old colleague.

The welcome of a comrade that has never been forgotten in my memory.

– What if we think about welcoming those who will follow us in paradise, placing their feet on the path we walked first and the footprints we made?

Alcaeus.

Carduel.

– There will be countless others who will fight the same battle as us. But none of them will have the honor of serving alongside the Lords of Light, blessed by the Mother of Creation. It is a joy to walk with them, Lucasel.

Surviel.

– Oh, we were not created beings, we were not even born. But we came to have souls and bodies. We are alive and moving, and we can meet each other. That, that’s why I’m always grateful for everything…

Enuel.

– Even if I were to be reborn a thousand times, I would be reborn as Enuel. So, Lucasel, I will fight together with you, talk together with you, and head towards the end of my mission.

What did I want to do?

Massacre tens of millions of people, kill thousands of their successors, and vent all their resentment on those snotty bastards… … .

What did I really want to do?

‘Did you really want to destroy the world? Even if it meant annihilating the majority of the population? Did you really want a world where only the strong exist and the weak disappear?’

no.

no.

Everything is just an excuse.

‘I am…….’

I just… … .

With those four idiots… … .

Was it just that I wanted to enjoy an ordinary daily life… … .
