446.
“It’s burning?”
Leo made a stern expression.
The earthquake had stopped at some point.
However, Arron’s single statement gave Leo a chilling shock.
It’s burning.
The meaning of these words could be understood without deep contemplation.
‘Erebos’s revival.’
5000 years ago.
It meant that one of the fragments of Erebos, which the Hero of the Beginning Kail had split into six pieces, had been revived.
‘Could it be that a fragment was sleeping in this place?’
Leo glared down at the ground below.
5000 years ago.
Although he was the one who had fragmented Erebos, Leo also couldn’t know the whereabouts of the fragments.
‘The last thing I remember is the fragments of that decomposed bastard scattering in the sky.’
Wrapped in black flames all over his body, he had crashed from the sky to the ground.
The last scene shown in Kail’s life was.
The six scattering fragments and between them, like dawn breaking.
The appearance of a brilliant sun revealing itself, driving away the gray sky.
With that scenery as the end, he lost consciousness and fell into a long sleep.
‘The fragments of Erebos identified so far are the first fragment discovered by Silorod, the fragment that revived 3000 years ago and was imprisoned in the World of Cataclysm by the Heroes of the Cataclysm, and the third fragment presumed to be possessed by that bastard Hel Kaiser.’
None of them being here made any sense.
Fairy Land’s fragment was being managed by Silorod, and the revived fragment was sealed in Hero Record.
‘If the Overlord King had appeared here, Arron would have detected it.’
Then the Erebos that Arron felt now meant it was the fourth fragment.
“Why did it suddenly awaken?”
When Leo voiced his question, Arron said.
“It’s been 5000 years since Erebos was subjugated, and one fragment revived 3000 years ago, right?”
“Right.”
“Then wouldn’t the remaining fragments also be in a state where it wouldn’t be strange for them to revive at any time?”
Arron was right.
One fragment had already revived 3000 years ago.
Then it wouldn’t be strange if the other fragments revived at any time either.
“But it’s too sudden.”
When Leo furrowed his brow, Arron said.
“Or maybe it’s because I came outside the Heroes’ World.”
“Indeed.”
Leo nodded heavily at Arron’s words.
Leo had entered Arron’s runaway Hero Record and then brought Arron out to the present world.
He had used divine power in that process.
‘If the sleeping Erebos was stimulated by the divine power used when bringing Arron and opened its eyes.’
Then it made sense that Erebos had awakened.
It was when he was about to click his tongue.
“Lord Leo!”
“Mellina.”
Mellina’s voice was heard from the sky above.
Thud!
Looking at Mellina who had landed in front of him, Leo said.
“Contact the entire world right now. Tell them that a fragment of Erebos might revive.”
“What?”
Mellina’s face turned pale.
“Don’t tell me the cause of this abnormal situation is related to a fragment of Erebos?”
“That’s right.”
Leo clenched and unclenched his fist as he continued speaking.
“It seems the fourth fragment has revived.”
“Yes, I’ll first send the 2nd year students we called back to other regions along with the 1st year students.”
It was none other than a fragment of Erebos.
A situation like the return of calamity.
As such, it was too great a trial for hero candidates to handle.
Mellina, who was a Dragon Lord, quickly dealt with the situation.
Mellina’s face hardened as she tried to activate her magic power to open a warp gate.
Upon seeing Mellina’s expression, Leo and Arron could immediately grasp the situation.
“Spatial movement is impossible.”
“Yes.”
Mellina answered in a stiff voice to Arron’s words.
The existence of Erebos by itself distorts and warps the laws of the world.
Magic is a technique that intervenes in the laws of the world to manifest phenomena.
Among them, magic related to space is particularly unstable.
Just having Erebos present makes the surrounding space unstable, making spatial movement magic impossible to use.
Even Luna couldn’t use it.
“First, gather the 1st and 2nd year students in one place.”
“Yes. What’s next?”
“We need to explain the situation.”
Leo drew his sword.
Seeing Leo like that, Mellina gritted her teeth.
“The children will despair.”
“They will despair. But it doesn’t matter. We also have hope. Did you forget?”
“What? Ah!”
Mellina’s eyes widened as she remembered something.
“We now have a hero with us.”
***
The sudden appearance of demonic beasts and monsters.
The 2nd year students who were out in Delan were urgently summoned and heard Mellina’s voice.
Therefore, they immediately grasped the situation and began subjugating the demonic beasts and monsters.
Whoosh-! Crackle-!
The flame and lightning aura wrapped around their swords revealed their presence like a roar.
Kwaaaaaa-! Pababababat!
“Grwooooo!”
Selia and Duran’s aura ravaged the giant demonic beast’s body.
The demonic beast fell with a scream filled with pain.
Swoosh-!
Chen Xia flew toward that demonic beast.
Water aura fluttered in the air like silk cloth.
Whoosh-!
However, the thin and beautiful water aura made an eerie sound as it blew away the demonic beast’s neck.
Blood poured like a waterfall from the neck of the castle wall-sized demonic beast.
After Chen Xia landed lightly on the ground, the giant body collapsed.
Rumble!
The monsters crushed beneath it became mincemeat.
Whoooo-!
Avad raised his staff.
“Tempest.”
As the spell was completed, a catastrophic wind swept in and blew away the magical beasts and monsters.
Zzzzzzzzzt-!
“Fimbelvert.”
Chloe’s unique magic turned the surrounding monsters into ice fragments.
Kuguuuuuu-!
At that moment, an earthquake occurred.
“Woreden! Is this your doing?”
“No.”
At Eliza’s question, Woreden looked at the ground.
“The earth spirits are afraid.”
“What does that mean?”
“It means something is there.”
It was when Woreden narrowed his eyes.
Flash-!
A pillar of light shot up from not far away.
Chelsea, who was dealing with flying monsters in the air, shouted.
“It’s Dragonnia’s crest! It seems like Lord is telling us to come there!”
At that cry, the Lumern students headed toward where the pillar of light was.
The freshmen were arriving there.
Besides them, graduates who had been subjugating monsters also gathered.
Cal gaped at the massive fortress made through alchemy.
“You made this on the spot? Truly a Dragon Lord.”
Cal was amazed.
Then Jamua, who was standing in front of the fortress gate, said.
“Everyone get inside the fortress before the magical beasts and monsters come rushing in!”
At Jamua’s resounding cry, the 1st and 2nd year students entered the fortress.
“But what exactly is this situation?”
“Is this really training too?”
“If they prepared even this kind of fortress, wouldn’t it be training?”
Among the 1st and 2nd years, there were still those who mistook the current situation for training.
Seeing this, Torua crossed his arms and grumbled.
“This is why the educational policies of Hero Academies are problematic. No matter how much they say to train like it’s real combat, there are kids who mistake it for training even when an abnormal situation occurs and demons attack as if to kill.”
“I agree with that, but still, thanks to that, both 1st and 2nd years are handling this situation splendidly.”
At Ulta’s words, Torua nodded his head.
At their conversation, Ris muttered.
“The atmosphere is ominous.”
“Brother!”
Selia hurriedly approached.
“This isn’t a training situation but an actual situation, right?”
At Selia’s question, Ris nodded.
“Yes.”
“What exactly is this situation?!”
“I don’t know the detailed situation either. Until Lord tells us…”
It was when Ris trailed off.
Whoosh-!
Two dragons with golden scales appeared above the fortress.
While everyone was surprised
Flash-!
The two dragons that emitted golden light stood on the city wall.
A middle-aged man with blonde hair and a blonde girl.
They were Mellina’s confidant Akatis and successor Enkiniass.
“Has everyone gathered?”
At Akatis’s question, Riennia stepped forward.
“Yes. All Hero Academy students have gathered. So could you explain the situation?”
At Riennia’s words, En said.
“Lord will come soon and tell you about the current situation.”
At those words, the 1st and 2nd years who thought it was training began to murmur.
Shortly after, Mellina descended from the air and landed on the city wall.
“Everyone.”
When Mellina, standing between Akatis and Enkiniass, spoke in a slightly stiff voice, everyone showed tense expressions.
“You are hero candidates.”
Mellina slowly began.
“You make blood-shedding efforts every day to become heroes. So that you can face trials anywhere, anytime. You are the noble ones who can fight for the world.”
At that speech, everyone showed puzzled expressions.
“And trials… calamities come without warning. 5000 years ago, 3000 years ago, and… even now.”
Kuguuuuuuung-!
The ground began to shake violently.
A strong earthquake incomparable to anything so far.
It was when all the students showed panicked expressions.
Kwagagagagagagang! Kooooooo!
Suddenly in the distance.
A massive pillar of fire shot up to the sky, bursting through the ground.
Like a tower that seemed to pierce the heavens.
The eruption of the fire pillar continued.
At such an unrealistic sight, the hero candidates watching it opened their mouths.
“Black… flames?”
While someone muttered in bewilderment.
“The sky…!”
Someone muttered in a terror-stricken voice.
The starlight in the sky was disappearing.
The brilliant light vanished and pitch-black darkness covered everything.
The hero candidates knew all too well what that was.
5000 years ago, and 3000 years ago.
It resembled too closely the phenomenon that had driven the world to destruction.
While everyone grasped the situation and was horrified.
Mellina gravely declared.
“Everyone, the calamity has awakened.”
***
“Everyone, the calamity has awakened.”
Hearing Mellina’s powerful voice, Leo, who was looking up at the sky from a high tower on the city wall, muttered.
“To think I’d see that damned sight again.”
His teeth chattered at the symbol of calamity coloring the sky.
“So this is how it felt.”
Arron muttered bitterly.
Arron, who was born in the Age of Calamity, doesn’t know.
The feeling of having peace stolen away.
That despair of facing terrible calamity.
“It feels a bit different though. That sky will disappear by tonight.”
Leo looked at Arron.
“I wanted you to enjoy peace and feel at ease.”
“I’ve already enjoyed it enough. And I’ve felt plenty at ease.”
Arron smiled.
“I died back then. But thanks to you, Kail, I was able to see the world we saved. Could there be a greater blessing than this?”
Both Leo and Arron knew.
When this battle ends, Arron will disappear.
A desperate situation.
But both Leo and Arron were accustomed to despair.
However, the young sprouts were not.
The current despair was far too immense for them to bear.
“But don’t worry, everyone.”
Mellina’s powerful voice could be heard.
Hearing those words, Leo spoke.
“That’s why… we need a symbol.”
This was no longer a situation for hiding anything.
“If disaster has returned, then now is the time for a symbol of courage to return as well.”
Leo looked directly into Arron’s eyes.
“Please, Arron, we need your courage.”
“Leave it to me.”
Arron, who smiled broadly at Leo’s words, jumped down below the tower.
Thud-!
Arron landed next to Mellina and looked down at the Hero Candidates.
“Instructor Akan?”
Chen Xia wore a puzzled expression.
With everyone’s gaze fixed on Arron, he raised his hand.
Flash-!
Aura surged from Arron’s hand.
Like Erebos’s black pillar of fire, a massive pillar of aura shot up toward the sky as if to pierce through it.
And the aura soon became a golden sword.
Arron swung the aura sword he held high toward the pillar of fire.
Whoosh-! Kwaaaaaaaang!
The pillar of fire was severed in two, causing a massive explosion.
Watching that thrilling spectacle, someone muttered.
“He… split the sky?”
The night sky that had been obscured by Erebos’s power was now twinkling with starlight.
Torua blankly recited an oral tradition that had been passed down from long ago.
“When he swings his sword, the sky splits… People gained tremendous courage from that overwhelming sight.”
Everyone gazed at the back of the man who had created the thrilling spectacle that only appeared in legends, repeating his name.
“The Hero… Arron.”
