119.

Thud- Thud-

Arron walked toward Tallatonia.

Seeing Arron, Tallatonia scowled with a sharp expression!

“A beastman?”

The spider princess looked up at the sky with a puzzled expression.

“A transformed beastman? But today isn’t even a full moon.”

Tallatonia, who had been making a confused expression, let out a sneer.

“A mutant perhaps?”

“Let that child go.”

“This?”

Tallatonia lightly shook Elsi, whom she had captured, and sneered.

“I don’t want to.”

Watching Tallatonia, Arron lowered his stance.

“Why are there so many interfering beasts?”

With an annoyed expression, Tallatonia stretched out her front leg to kill Arron.

Tallatonia didn’t know.

The fact that the beastman before her was a hunter.

Thwack-!

“Huh?”

Tallatonia’s front leg, which had been flying at terrifying speed to pierce through Arron, was caught.

Crack!

When Arron applied force to his hand, the tip of her front leg broke.

Compared to Tallatonia’s massive body, having the tip of her front leg broken wasn’t a major blow.

When Arron applied force to his hand and pulled, the spider princess’s huge body was dragged along.

“Wh-what!”

Tallatonia let out a cry of shock and resisted, but the spider princess’s body, having already lost its balance, had collapsed before Arron.

Crack-!

Looking at the spider princess who had fallen right in front of him, Arron clenched his fist with force.

Tallatonia instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

Whoosh-!

Arron threw his punch.

A heavy sound of cutting through the wind rang out.

Whoooosh-!

Wind blasted in all directions.

Ar, who had been watching, lowered her stance as much as possible to avoid being blown away by the fierce wind.

When the wind subsided, Ar raised her head.

She saw Tallatonia’s form with her upper body blown away, twitching and convulsing.

Ar’s mouth fell open at that overwhelming power.

Elsi, who had escaped from Tallatonia’s grasp, also made an expression of disbelief.

“Who exactly are you.”

“You’re also a child from the orphanage, right? Are you okay?”

After Shaten was destroyed, Elsi had been watching Agon and Arron from the shadows for 10 years.

But she had only revealed herself after Arron left the orphanage and running the orphanage became difficult.

That’s why Arron didn’t know Elsi.

“I’ll finish off this demon right away.”

“Who’s going to finish off whom? You insolent vermin dare to challenge me, the daughter of Silatuna!”

Tallatonia’s body, with her upper body blown away, recovered instantly.

Tallatonia’s face, filled with wriggling flesh, had transformed into something hideous.

The composure from moments before was completely gone.

Seeing Tallatonia bare her fangs with her mouth open, Arron summoned his aura.

Flinch- Tallatonia’s body trembled.

Whoosh-!

Arron disappeared from sight.

To find Arron, Tallatonia frantically looked around.

Thwack-!

“Guhk?”

A pained groan burst from Tallatonia’s mouth.

And her body shot up into the sky, bent at a strange angle.

Arron had kicked Tallatonia upward.

“I’ll kill you!”

Tallatonia’s voice, filled with murderous intent, echoed through the air.

Chilling runic words began to resonate.

Her true power was dark magic.

Until now, she had only fought with physical combat to toy with her opponent.

But Arron had no intention of quietly watching the magic be completed.

Crack crack crack-

Arron loosened his finger joints and sharpened his claws.

Roooooar-!

Golden aura gathered at his fingertips.

Tallatonia’s face turned pale at the ominous power.

Slash-!

Arron’s claws cut through the air.

The space in the surrounding area twisted for an instant.

“Kyaaaaaaah!”

Golden trajectories shot up into the sky and instantly tore Tallatonia apart.

Ar trembled as she watched Tallatonia disappear without even leaving a trace.

‘This is… Lord Arron! The great hero who saved the world!’

***

“Huff! Huff! Damn it! Damn it!”

Lebaiten was spewing curses as he escaped from the southern region of Reissar.

He never would have dreamed that the woman who had approached him half a year ago was actually a demon.

‘I need to hurry back and come up with countermeasures!’

Agon may have been forgotten among the residents of Reissar, but he hadn’t disappeared from memory.

People had temporarily forgotten him because he had gone into hiding, but his reputation was still high.

If such an Agon were to reveal that he had been colluding with demons, everything he had built up until now would crumble.

Dealing with demons was an unforgivable grave sin.

Slash-!

Suddenly, a chillingly sharp sound was heard.

“Just now, something…?”

Plop-!

Lebaiten, who had been making a puzzled expression, heard the sound of something falling near his ear.

Along with that, he felt that his right hand felt light.

“Kyaaaaaaah!”

Lebaiten grabbed his right wrist and screamed.

Blood was spurting from his wrist, and his right hand was rolling on the ground.

“This feels strange.”

Lebaiten, who had been screaming in pain, turned his head.

He saw emotionless red eyes.

“The fact that I’m dealing with a traitor I’ve already dealt with in the past once more.”

Leo, who had wiped the blood from his sword, approached Lebaiten.

“You, you bastard! Do you think you’ll get away with this?!”

“I think I will? Who’s here to help you right now?”

“If, if you spare me, I’ll guarantee you status and fame!”

“Not interested. What’s the point of status and fame if the world ends anyway?”

A chilling killing intent appeared in Leo’s voice.

Judging that this was someone he couldn’t persuade, Lebaiten screamed and ran away.

“Is there anyone around? Save me! Please save me!”

But there was no one on the street.

Not even a single vagrant could be seen.

Thanks to someone spreading rumors that this place was cursed land, it was completely isolated.

Thwack-!

Lebaiten’s neck flew through the air as he screamed pathetically.

“Someone please save me…”

The words he was desperately uttering stopped.

Thud-! Thump-

Lebaiten’s headless body collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, Leo sheathed his sword.

‘If they had known something like this happened at this time… maybe more heroes would have helped us.’

Leo returned to the orphanage with a complicated expression.

“Lord Arron! Lord Arron! I’ve admired you since I was little!”

“So, so I’m telling you I’m not someone worthy of admiration! And hurry up and treat your wounds!”

Arga was going wild, excited about meeting Arron.

The crazed sight of him rushing forward with blood streaming down his head looked bizarre even to Leo.

But how much more so for the timid Arron?

“Ah, Kail. You’re back.”

Elsi, who had been watching that scene, approached.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. More importantly, we defeated the Spider Princess!”

“She won’t die from just that.”

Leo, who had seen Arron’s slash from afar, smiled bitterly.

Tallatonia, who had swallowed the Fairy King’s ring, wouldn’t die from something like that.

Even without the Fairy King’s ring, she could recover sufficiently from wounds of that degree.

She wasn’t a monster who had destroyed a nation for nothing.

“Anyway, Kail! How about recommending Arron to Risinass? With that strength, he’ll surely be a great help in saving the world!”

“That’ll happen even if you don’t say anything.”

“Right, of course?”

Elsi, who had been smiling brightly, said.

“And I’ve changed my mind.”

“About what.”

“I want to make a contract with you, Kail, not Risinass.”

Elsi pointed at Leo with her finger and smiled brightly.

“I like you.”

“I’m honored. But I don’t have the power to contract with you right now. And I’m not Kail right now either.”

“What?”

Elsi made a puzzled expression at the incomprehensible words, then pondered and nodded.

“That’s true. It was strange. Even if you’re All Class, your power doesn’t seem that strong yet.”

She had thought he was Kail because he possessed the Light Jewel and was All Class, but his power was too weak to be considered Kail, the ‘Surviving Hero.’

“Still, I want to contract with you.”

Elsi smiled as if it didn’t matter and took Leo’s right hand.

“I’m sure you can defeat Erebos. So I want to bet my future on you.”

Elsi placed her hand on the back of Leo’s hand and smiled brightly.

“Don’t worry about the power to contract. I’m a shadow spirit. As long as there’s an object to serve as a medium, I can dwell in your shadow and lend you my strength.”

“A medium?”

“Yes. In your case, you have the Light Jewel.”

Though it didn’t have great power, it was an heirloom passed down through generations of great light spirits, so it was an object imbued with powerful spirit affinity.

Elsi placed her hand on the back of Leo’s hand.

“My name is Elsi, the Shadow Spirit. I swear to be your sword and shield for the duration of our contract.”

A contract mark appeared on the back of Leo’s hand.

Seeing the familiar contract symbol, Leo smiled bitterly.

“Please take care of me.”

Though it was a contract that would be dissolved the moment the Heroes’ World ended, the fact that he had contracted with Elsi again stirred strange emotions.

“Huff! Huff! Lord Arron! I admire you! You’re so cool!”

“So I’m telling you to get away!”

Meanwhile, the rampaging Ar was clinging to Arron’s leg.

At the sight of Arron panicking in terror, Leo approached the two.

Smack-!

“Nyaak?!”

“He said no, you perverted cat.”

Leo hit Ar on the head.

Blood was still flowing from her head where Tallatonia had wounded her earlier.

Ar, who had frozen like a broken cat, clutched her head and rolled around on the ground.

“Owwwww! How can you hit an injury! You rabbit bastard!”

“You seem fine.”

“It really hurts!”

She shed a few tears and frantically pulled at Leo’s rabbit ears.

Then, in the distance, they could see Agon running toward them.

He had felt Arron’s aura swirling from the Lord’s Castle and rushed over immediately.

The moment Leo saw Agon.

[You have met Arron in Reishar.]

[You have saved Agon, Guardian of the Starry Skies.]

The conquest objective was achieved.

***

Agon arrived and the cleanup began.

Though the cleanup consisted only of comforting the terrified children and scolding Arron, it definitely felt like this incident was over.

Leo looked at Agon, who had brightened a little upon seeing his disciple, and recalled old times.

‘If these children had all died, Agon could no longer have been called a hero.’

How could someone who had come to hate the world be called a hero?

Yet Agon said nothing to Arron as he departed.

It was surely Agon’s consideration, hoping that his disciple who had resolved to save the world wouldn’t be broken like himself.

If Agon had told him the truth then, there might never have been Hero Arron.

Naturally, saving the world would have been impossible too.

While Leo was lost in old memories, Ar was extremely excited.

“I conquered the Heroes’ World without even enrolling in Azonia! And it was Lord Arron’s world too! This is an unprecedented event in Azonia’s history!”

“You’re still bleeding from your head. Aren’t you going to treat that wound?”

“Black Rabbit! It’s all thanks to you! Let’s work hard in school life from now on! We’ll make Azonia the strongest Hero Academy!”

“Yeah, work hard.”

“You have to do it together!”

Ar, completely unaware that Leo was a Lumern student, began imagining the school life they would share together.

“It’s frustrating, but I’ll give you the class representative position. Right now, you seem better than me.”

Arga, who had been grumbling, puffed out her chest proudly.

“But don’t let your guard down! I’ll steal that position from you anytime.”

‘…This is getting more and more uncomfortable. Should I tell her now?’

It was when Leo was pondering this.

“I owe you a debt.”

Agon approached.

“Did you finish scolding Arron?”

“For now.”

“Then! Lord Arron!”

“S-stay away!”

When Arga rushed at him again, Arron fled in terror.

“…Did that girl hit her head and develop mental problems?”

“She seems to have always been like that, so just leave her be.”

Leo clicked his tongue.

“Anyway, thank you. If it weren’t for you all, it would have been a disaster.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

“Still, I’d like to repay you if there’s something I can do, but I don’t have anything to give. So I hope you’ll at least accept this.”

Agon handed Leo a book.

“What’s this?”

“It’s my aura cultivation method.”

While aura cultivation methods were easy to obtain in the current era, they weren’t during the Age of Calamity.

“It’s also the cultivation method Arron learned. Well, Arron made it his own and gained the ability to freely manipulate water.”

‘Is this the original of Hero’s Breath?’

He wanted to read it right away.

But….

Crack—

Leo saw cracks forming in the night sky.

Leo knew what this meant.

‘The world’s collapse due to completion.’

This world had fulfilled its role.

“Thank you.”

Leo tucked the book Agon gave him into his chest.

Now it was time to say goodbye to his friends.

“I have to go now. If you have something to say, say it quickly.”

At Leo’s words, Arga flinched and looked up at the sky.

Then she looked regretful and spoke to Arron.

“Lord Arron.”

“Yeah?”

“Could you… pat my head just once to encourage me?”

The girl made a small request to the great hero she had admired since childhood.

Hearing this, Arron looked puzzled but patted Ar’s head.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but hang in there. You’ll do well.”

Arron smiled gently and removed his hand from Ar’s head.

Ar touched her head, which was bleeding profusely, and muttered.

“I’ll never wash this head. Uhehehehe.”

Seeing Ar making crazy sounds again, Arron was terrified.

Leo sighed and used healing magic.

As the wound healed, the bleeding stopped.

“Oh! Thanks! Black Rab…”

Splash—!

Then he used simple water magic to wash Ar’s head clean.

“You damn Black Rabbit!”

Ar made a tearful face and pulled on Leo’s rabbit ears.

“Lord Arron! Please pat me just one more…”

“Arron.”

“Yeah?”

“It’s going to be very difficult from now on.”

Arron looked at Leo with a face that couldn’t understand.

“There will be people you can’t protect, and you’ll be frustrated by continuous trials.”

“What…?”

Hearing Leo’s words, Arron looked confused while Ar had a solemn expression.

Ar had also realized it.

The fact that the young hero before her eyes would have to begin an unimaginably difficult journey.

“Still… you’ll succeed. Because you’re braver than anyone.”

Arron looked at Leo with confusion.

“Why do you think I’m brave? I’m just a coward.”

Crack—

The world collapsed.

“Because you saved the world.”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

Leo smiled as he looked at his friend whose eyes widened.

Everything had already disappeared.

Only Leo and Arron stood in the black space.

Looking at his timid friend who was slowly disappearing with a surprised face—the one who had always given him courage—Leo spoke as if making a vow.

“So I’ll do my best too.”

So that he could completely defeat Erebos.

[Arron’s World. Chapter: Prologue-Beginning has been completed.]
