447.

 

Everyone fell silent at Arron’s overwhelming majesty as he split the sky.

 

Kugugugugugugugu-!

 

The place where the black pillar of fire shot up was incredibly far from where Arron stood.

 

But ignoring such distance, Arron cleaved the pillar of fire in two with tremendous force.

 

A massive sword mark was carved into the earth in a straight line between Arron and the pillar of fire.

 

Thick dust rose up.

 

The students’ gazes fixed on Arron’s back, one by one.

 

“As expected of Lord Arron! Amazing!”

 

Then Arga raised both hands high and shouted.

 

With those words, everyone came to their senses.

 

“Is, is that really the hero Lord Arron?”

 

“Who else but Lord Arron could deliver such an overwhelming strike?”

 

“Besides, that Ar kid! She definitely just called him Lord Arron!”

 

The remarkably similar appearance and transcendent martial prowess.

 

Plus Ar’s outcry, having directly experienced Arron while conquering the Heroes’ World.

 

“Lord Hero!”

 

“He has descended to the present world like the Hero of the Beginning and the Progenitor of the Starry Skies!”

 

“Lord Arron!”

 

A spark of hope ignited atop the city wall that had been filled with despair.

 

“Are you saying that person is truly a hero?”

 

“Yes. He’s a real hero.”

 

At Akatis’s shocked question, Mellina nodded.

 

En couldn’t take her eyes off Arron.

 

Kugugugugugugung-!

 

Then the earth shook once again.

 

Kwagagagagagagang-!

 

Something like black magma shot up from where the black flames had been erupting.

 

Splash-! Chiiiiiiik-! Hworeuk-!

 

Flames erupted from the ground touched by the black magma.

 

The magma gathered in one place like slime, then transformed into the shape of a giant flame giant.

 

Watching Erebos take form, Mellina drew a deep breath.

 

For her, who had been a challenger in the world of cataclysm, it was a nightmare-like figure.

 

The faces of the hero candidates hardened.

 

Erebos.

 

5000 years ago and 3000 years ago.

 

The terrifying primordial evil that had driven the world to the brink of destruction.

 

Those living in the age of heroes couldn’t help but know that name.

 

But hardly anyone had actually seen Erebos during the 3000 years since the return of calamity was ended by the Heroes of the Cataclysm.

 

They could only imagine and infer its appearance based on records written in literature.

 

“Haha. Damn. It really looks exactly like in the fairy tales.”

 

Cal muttered with a trembling voice.

 

Runia made a stern expression and clenched her fists tightly.

 

“It’s incomparable to… back then.”

 

Runia, who had fought against fragments of Erebos that had been sleeping in Luna’s World, swallowed hard at the overwhelming pressure that was incomparable to that time.

 

If the Erebos she fought in Luna’s World was a small campfire, this was a massive wildfire.

 

“What’s there to worry about! We have Lord Arron! If we join forces, we can defeat something like a fragment of the resurrected Erebos! Everyone, take courage!”

 

Arga shouted with sparkling eyes.

 

But those facing the world-destroying calamity they had only encountered in stories couldn’t easily regain their courage.

 

As Erebos took shape, their fear also became more distinct.

 

“It’s okay to be afraid.”

 

With his back to the future hero candidates, Arron spoke.

 

“It’s natural to tremble with fear before great terror. I did too, and so did Risinass, Kail, Luna, and Dweno.”

 

Arron drew a breath.

 

“What’s important is overcoming that fear. So will you show me?”

 

Arron turned around.

 

“Your courage.”

 

At those words, Banir widened her eyes and stepped forward.

 

“Noble great warriors! Students who bear the name of Ajonia!”

 

Banir shouted toward the Ajonia students.

 

Everyone’s gaze turned to Banir.

 

At the fierce voice, Arron momentarily hunched his shoulders, but no one noticed.

 

“The great hero wishes to test our courage!”

 

“Ah, no. I’m not really testing… I just want to see…”

 

“Did we not enroll in Ajonia for the world! With the courage the hero passed down to us in our hearts! Did we not dream of becoming heroes to protect this world that the great heroes left us!”

 

“That’s right!”

 

The Ajonia students roared in unison.

 

“Now that crisis has come! Though compared to Lord Arron, we’re weaklings not even worth the pebbles rolling on the roadside!”

 

“Weaklings! It’s not good to disparage yourselves like that…”

 

“But! If we tremble with fear here! We’re trash not even worth pebbles! Do you want to become trash!”

 

“No!”

 

“Then let’s prove it! That you’re not trash! If you’re proud to be descendants of Lord Arron! Show your courage! Understood!”

 

“Understood!”

 

Arron placed both hands on Banir’s shoulders as she led the juniors and said seriously.

 

“Don’t use disparaging words about yourself like weaklings, not worth pebbles, or trash.”

 

“Lord Arron…!”

 

“You and the Ajonia students are sufficiently proud children. What I mean isn’t that I’ll test your courage. Just show your courage. So cherish yourselves…”

 

“Did you hear that! You weakling trash! Lord Arron says we’re proud!”

 

“Uooooooo!”

 

Watching Banir shout in excitement, Arron looked at Mellina with a tearful expression.

 

“It would be best to just accept that Ajonia students are simple-minded.”

 

Mellina was making a troubled smile when.

 

“She’s still simple-minded when excited, huh? Ris, don’t we get a fancy speech or something?”

 

When Torua tilted his head and asked, Ris chuckled and said to the juniors.

 

“Let’s show that courage isn’t exclusively Ajonia’s.”

 

“Yes! Understood!”

 

“Lord Arron! You’re so cool!”

 

“Please give me your autograph later!”

 

Cheers also erupted from the Lumern side.

 

Riennia crossed her arms.

 

“Kids, listen up. We inherited the will of the great Progenitor of the Starry Skies, Lady Luna, right? Plus Lord Arron has descended and the Ajonia kids will be a reliable shield. With such excellent meat shields, does it make sense to be scared?”

 

“Hey, who are you calling meat shields right now?”

 

When Banir growled lowly, she corrected herself.

 

“Friend shields?”

 

“I don’t like that either!”

 

Banir shouted, but Riennia didn’t bat an eye.

 

“Anyway, we Seirun proved to Lady Luna and Lord Kail last year that our Seirun is the best! This time let’s prove to Lord Arron that we’re the best too!”

 

“When did you prove to Lady Luna and Lord Kail that you were the best?”

 

“It’s us Ajonia who will be recognized by Lord Arron!”

 

Watching the former student council presidents bicker, Driana raised her hand.

 

“Shouldn’t the former president say something too?”

 

“What’s the point of speaking? I’ll just be drowned out by those lunatics.”

 

“You still have no presence, President.”

 

“Are you insulting me?”

 

“It’s a compliment.”

 

It was when Wekkedon, the former Student Council President of Demian, let out a deep sigh.

 

“Excuse me, sorry. Could you lend me a sword?”

 

“Gasp! A-Arron sir!”

 

Wekkedon’s eyes widened.

 

“I-I’ll give it to you! No! Please use it!”

 

Moved by the fact that the Hero Arron had asked him for a sword, Wekkedon opened his extradimensional space and poured out swords.

 

“Please use whatever you need!”

 

Arron chose one sharply discarded sword from Wekkedon’s collection.

 

Clank-!

 

Arron, gripping the sword, took a deep breath.

 

Shing-!

 

Though it was a nameless sword, it was an excellent blade.

 

Looking down at his reflection on the blade, Arron said.

 

“It’s a fine sword. I’ll use it carefully and return it.”

 

“Not at all! Hehehehe!”

 

“Like a sycophant.”

 

“He only has a clear presence at times like this, you know?”

 

Other school graduates murmured, but Wekkedon didn’t care.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Thud-!

 

The earth shook.

 

Erebos, having taken shape, began to move.

 

Roooooooar-!

 

Erebos’s roar echoed through the air.

 

Arron inhaled in response.

 

-Graaaaaaaaaaaah!

 

Arron’s howling pushed back Erebos’s roar.

 

Those who heard that voice widened their eyes.

 

“This is the Hero’s howling?”

 

“Amazing!”

 

The anxiety from moments before disappeared.

 

Their hearts trembled and their courage doubled.

 

As everyone marveled, Arron raised his sword.

 

“Everyone, prepare now.”

 

Whoooosh-!

 

Fire blazed from Erebos’s body.

 

“It’s coming.”

 

Kwaaaaaaah-!

 

A wave of black flames crashed down.

 

Roooooar!

 

Arron gripped his sword properly and swung it horizontally.

 

Slash-!

 

A massive golden line split the black flames.

 

The sharp golden sword strike hit Erebos directly.

 

Slice-! Whoooosh!

 

Graaaaaaah!

 

Erebos, his body severed in two, let out a scream filled with pain.

 

Seeing this, Arron’s eyes twitched for a moment.

 

Whoooosh-!

 

Dark red blood gushed from the wound, soaking the earth.

 

But that wound was soon covered by black flames and healed.

 

Whoooosh-!

 

Erebos’s blood that flowed on the ground created grotesque monsters.

 

Seeing this, Arron muttered.

 

“…The right arm?”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“It’s nothing.”

 

Arron shook his head and turned around.

 

“From now on, I’ll decide the party members who will attack Erebos with me.”

 

***

 

“It seems to be the right arm.”

 

Leo narrowed his eyes.

 

-What do you mean?

 

At Leo’s muttering, Kirran asked with a puzzled face.

 

“That fragment is the right arm among Erebos’s fragments.”

 

“How do you know that, Master? From the outside, it just looks like a giant black giant.”

 

When Ati tilted her head, Leo said.

 

“You know that demons are Erebos’s creations, right?”

 

The spirits nodded.

 

“Erebos used his right hand when creating demons, magical beasts, and monsters. Risinass thought that the power related to creation resided in his right hand.”

 

Indeed, Erebos had created his loyal subordinates with his right hand.

 

-I see. So you think it’s the right arm among the fragments Leo cut.

 

When Elsi spoke as if understanding, Leo nodded.

 

“But it’s strange. Even for him, the power of creation should consume a lot of energy, so why is he wasting power?”

 

He felt puzzled by Erebos suddenly generating monsters to his heart’s content.

 

“Leo!”

 

Arron, having finished forming the party to fight Erebos, called Leo.

 

Leo landed on the ground.

 

And confirmed the members.

 

‘Arron, Mellina, Torua, Ulta, Riennia, Runia, Eiran, Eliza.’

 

Excluding Arron, there wasn’t a single knight class member.

 

In the case of Eiran and Riennia, though they were mage knights, they possessed mobility comparable to decent knight classes and firepower exceeding that of mages.

 

‘A combination focused on firepower and mobility.’

 

Riennia and Eiran also looked somewhat troubled, having heard their roles from Arron.

 

Then Arga approached Leo.

 

“Black Rabbit! Arron sir said he’d stop Erebos alone, but will that be okay? Shouldn’t we help a little?”

 

Arga asked with a worried face.

 

Looking at such Ar, Leo said.

 

“If it’s okay, that’s why he said he’d face it alone.”

 

“B-but…”

 

It’s not just any enemy, but Erebos.

 

The world’s worst monstrosity that drove the world to the brink of destruction.

 

No matter how fragmented it was, blocking such a terrifying monster alone seemed somewhat worrying.

 

“Do you still not know what era that Arron came from?”

 

“Huh?”

 

Arga’s eyes widened.

 

Come to think of it, he hadn’t heard.

 

“Which era did you come from? Black Rabbit, did you hear?”

 

“The final chapter.”

 

“What?”

 

“It’s Arron from when Erebos was subjugated.”

 

Arga’s eyes went wide.

 

‘If only there wasn’t the restriction of disappearing when divine power is completely consumed, the current Arron could win a war against all of Tartaros single-handedly.’

 

Now that the Monster Queen had been subjugated and the Giant King was absent.

 

Tartaros with only the Overlord King couldn’t handle Arron in his complete form.

 

“You stay here and fight against the monsters.”

 

Step- Step-

 

Leo approached Arron’s side.

 

“Well then, shall we go?”

 

Arron said as he gripped his sword properly.

 

“To subjugate the primordial evil.”
