118.

“You know me?”

Arron looked at the unfamiliar young boy with a somewhat bewildered expression.

“I do.”

At that sight, Leo nodded his head.

He wanted to talk more.

There was a lot he wanted to say.

But right now, what he needed to do was awaken the hero before his eyes.

And that wasn’t too difficult a task for Leo, who had traversed battlefields together with him for a long time.

“Your siblings are in danger.”

“What?”

Arron, who had been wearing a confused expression, was startled by Leo’s words.

“Tonight, all your siblings might die. I need your power.”

Arron turned his head with a hardened face toward the southern outskirts.

He looked toward the place where his home was located.

He could definitely sense something ominous in the air.

Gooooooo-!

Aura swirled violently.

The pupils of his gentle golden eyes narrowed vertically.

His eyes opened sharply and the muscles in his body swelled slightly.

His fangs protruded.

Arron placed his foot on the railing to leap in one bound.

Then he suddenly looked back at Leo.

“Have we… met somewhere before?”

“Yeah.”

“When.”

“In the not-so-distant future.”

For a moment, Arron wore an expression of complete confusion.

“Now isn’t the time to be questioning that.”

“Ah!”

Hearing Leo’s words, Arron immediately kicked off the railing.

Thwack-!

Leo smiled as he watched Arron’s retreating figure shoot out at invisible speed.

‘Running for someone precious – that’s unchanged whether then or now.’

***

Southern outskirts of Reishar.

Two figures, a man and woman, appeared in the place called the Cursed Land.

“Why do I have to come back to this nauseating place again.”

Even though he was the real power behind Lebaiten, he couldn’t give the order to kill residents of a plague-stricken area to just anyone.

Especially if it was revealed that no actual plague existed, things could become troublesome.

So he had sent only a select few who followed him completely.

“Incompetent fools.”

Since they had ultimately failed, Lebaiten had no choice but to come here himself.

A short while later.

Lebaiten arrived at the open field.

And there, his eyes twitched as he saw Ar standing as if she had been waiting for him.

“Ha, they really got beaten by a brat like that?”

“If you don’t want to end up like your subordinates, you’d better get lost.”

“Insolent brat, who do you think you’re babbling to?”

Lebaiten curled up the corners of his mouth.

“I am destined to become the lord of Reishar. I will become a hero praised by people on earth for generations to come.”

“Don’t make me laugh. In the future, no one will praise trash like you.”

“What did you say?”

“Scum like you won’t even be recorded in a corner of history. Oh wait, you will be recorded.”

Ar smiled viciously.

“That in the age of calamity, there was trash like you too.”

Hero Record is the footsteps of heroes recorded by the gods.

Everything that happens in the Heroes’ World is ‘truth’ guaranteed in the name of the gods.

There were cases where existing history books were discarded and new ones written according to newly discovered Hero Records.

If Leo and Ar successfully conquered this world, Lebaiten, a figure from 5000 years ago, would be recorded in history.

And future generations would condemn him for eternity.

Lebaiten’s face turned bright red upon hearing Ar’s words.

“How dare you!”

The enraged Lebaiten charged toward Ar.

Kwang-!

Lebaiten, who had somehow grasped a massive greatsword in his hand, swung it with terrifying momentum.

Each strike was a devastating attack that would lead to death if it grazed you.

But Ar’s eyes clearly tracked the sword’s trajectory.

Swoosh-!

“…!”

“Just a crude attack with only strength behind it.”

“Grr!”

Seeing Ar standing on top of his sword and mocking him, Lebaiten released magic power into his blade.

Bzzzzzzt-!

Blue sparks flew.

But before the magic could strike, Ar hopped away, creating distance between herself and Lebaiten.

“Doesn’t seem like you’re a warrior. Your weapon is too good for your skill level.”

Lebaiten, who could freely use powerful artifacts from the Lord’s Castle armory, was armed with all sorts of powerful magical weapons.

But that was all he had.

Ar, who had been exposed to various abilities since childhood and trained to become a hero, was not an opponent that Lebaiten, who relied solely on weapons, could handle.

“A mage pretending to be a warrior.”

Ar, who had seen through Lebaiten’s abilities, narrowed her eyes.

Ar was right.

His close combat was purely borrowing the power of magical weapons.

Lebaiten was a pure mage.

So his weapon-handling skills were pathetic.

“Pathetic!”

Despite the flashy appearance, there was no substance.

“Who are you calling pathetic, you filthy creature!”

Lebaiten shouted.

“You’re calling me trash? I am a hero! I am destined to become the great hero who will rule Reishar!”

Killing intent surged in Ar’s eyes.

“Don’t you dare speak the words ‘great hero’!”

All the fur on the enraged Ar’s body stood on end.

She compressed aura at her toes.

Kwang-!

Ar’s body shot toward Lebaiten like an arrow due to the condensed elasticity.

“Kugh! R-Reflection Shield!”

Kwang-!

Ar’s kick was blocked by Lebaiten’s protective magic.

Crack-!

Cracks appeared in the magical barrier that Lebaiten had created.

Lebaiten’s face turned pale white upon seeing it.

But it didn’t break through.

Having poured all his magical power into it, Lebaiten’s protective magic was solid.

“Uryaaaaaaaa!”

Feeling her own power being reflected back by the magic, Ar roared and used the Hero’s Breath.

The aura power contained in her toes explosively increased.

If she let the returning force flow away, she could avoid major damage and prepare for the next attack.

But Ar didn’t back down.

She couldn’t forgive the traitor before her who carelessly spoke of the title of Great Hero.

She returned her own reflected power with stubbornness.

Crushing pain struck her right foot as if it were being squeezed by something enormous.

However, Ar didn’t care and glared upward as she thrust out her foot.

‘I won’t be satisfied unless I kick this bastard’s face!’

Crack- Crash!

“Kehek?!”

Ar’s kick directly struck Lebaiten’s body.

Lebaiten was sent flying miserably, crashing through building walls multiple times.

“Huff. Huff.”

Ar gasped for breath from the pain she felt in her right foot.

Clap- Clap- Clap-

“Not bad. No, amazing.”

Ar’s gaze turned toward the woman.

“Mother was right. The heroes of the surface are still dangerous.”

“Hmph! I’ll blow you away too, so come here.”

Ar growled while swinging her foot in the air.

Watching such an Ar, the woman smiled.

“Oh my, can you really do that? Little kitten?”

Crack-! Crackle! Snap!

Ar’s face hardened as she watched the woman shed her human skin and grow enormous.

“Wouldn’t you be lucky if you don’t get eaten by me instead?”

A demon with a giant spider’s lower body and only the upper body in human form mocked Ar.

A disgustingly repulsive tongue flicked from the mouth attached to the mouth part below her waist.

“A, a demon?”

Ar’s face turned pale white.

Overwhelming fear struck her.

“How? There’s no demon scent, is there?”

Not even the slightest demonic stench came from the demon before her.

Instead, it smelled like a forest thick with vegetation.

Watching Ar step backward, the woman, Tallatonia, smiled brightly.

“Well. Perhaps it’s because I chewed and ate the Fairy King’s arm?”

Daughter of Demon Queen Silatuna.

Spider Princess Tallatonia.

Having learned that the demon aura was erased thanks to the Fairy King’s ring, she had secretly infiltrated the refugee city.

This was because she knew that a great spirit had settled in Shaten, the sword Agon had used in the battle against the Hero’s Alliance 10 years ago.

This greedy demon who had chewed and eaten the ring along with the Fairy King’s arm was using Lebaiten to devour the great spirit.

“Well then.”

Hideous spider legs were raised up.

“Die.”

Swoosh-!

The spider’s front legs tried to pierce through Ar like giant awls.

Thud-!

Suddenly a shadow surged up in front of Ar and blocked the attack.

“You finally came out, Shaten.”

Tallatonia flicked her tongue.

Looking at such Tallatonia, Elsi said.

“Shaten is just the name of the sword I resided in. My name is Elsi.”

“Names don’t matter. What’s important is that I’m going to eat you.”

Crack-!

Tallatonia opened her mouth and lunged to bite Elsi.

Thud-!

Suddenly Tallatonia’s body stopped dead.

Frowning, Tallatonia turned her head and glared at her captured shadow.

Elsi, with her expression gone, used her power.

“Huh?”

Tallatonia’s front leg, having lost her shadow, trembled and was raised up.

Swoosh-!

Thud-!

And Tallatonia’s front leg pierced through her own neck without hesitation.

That wasn’t all.

Her other spider legs twisted at bizarre angles.

Having lost her shadow, Tallatonia was literally a puppet on strings.

And the one freely controlling those strings was none other than Elsi.

“Nothing’s changed from 10 years ago. Spider Princess.”

Elsi, who had once defeated Agon and Tallatonia, smiled brightly and flicked her hand.

Crack-!

Tallatonia felt her vision flip.

Her neck had been horribly twisted.

Tallatonia blinked her eyes and burst into mad laughter.

“Kyahahahahahahaha! Interesting! Interesting!”

Crack! Crackle!

The legs that had been twisted at bizarre angles instantly recovered.

Her pierced and twisted body instantly returned to its original form.

The terrifying Spider Princess’s power that could destroy even nations had been granted near-infinite vitality.

Elsi was also flustered watching Tallatonia recover instantly.

Crash-!

“Kek?”

Tallatonia’s front leg that flew in instantly pierced through Elsi’s body.

Elsi’s face contorted.

Slash-!

Fragments of darkness that burst from the wound slashed Tallatonia’s body to pieces.

She was instantly torn apart beyond recognition.

“How’s that? Different from 10 years ago?”

Tallatonia, with her head blown off and only her mouth remaining, smiled a bloody smile.

“Do you think an immature great spirit without a contractor can defeat me, daughter of Silatuna, alone?”

“Kheuk!”

“Shall I take a bite to see what a great spirit tastes like?”

Crack-!

Even while being horribly slashed to pieces, Tallatonia greedily opened her mouth.

Tallatonia, who had gained infinite vitality, was literally like an undying disaster.

The moment she tried to bite into Elsi’s nape.

Whoosh-! Crack!

Ar flew over and kicked Tallatonia’s jaw.

Tallatonia, twisted at a strange angle, made an annoyed expression.

“Little kitten.”

Though Ar was terrified, she rekindled her fighting spirit.

“That coward saved the world.”

For some reason, Leo’s voice flashed through her mind.

‘If I’m following in the hero’s footsteps! I can’t just stand here paralyzed with fear!’

Ar gritted her teeth and tried to land another attack on Tallatonia.

Thwack!

“Gah!”

She felt her head spinning in an instant.

One of the spider legs had struck Ar’s head.

“I’ll save you for dessert later.”

Tallatonia sneered at Ar, who was slumped in a corner bleeding from her head, then turned her attention to Elsi.

“Ugh…!”

Just as Ar was gritting her teeth and trying to get up.

“Are you okay?”

“Huh?”

At the voice from behind, Ar hurriedly raised her head.

And her eyes widened greatly.

“You did well to stay strong.”

Ar’s body trembled.

It was different from the appearance Ar knew.

To be precise, he was younger.

But she could recognize him at a glance.

The fairy tale character who had given her courage in childhood.

The object of admiration who saved the world.

“Lord Arron.”
