470.

 

Kwaagagagagang-!

 

As Lil swung her battle hammer, the ground axis of the surrounding area shook.

 

The spirits also synchronized with Lil’s emotions, expressing powerful anger.

 

Watching this, Leo was impressed.

 

‘The synchronization rate with the contracted spirits is incredibly high.’

 

A Spirit Mage is someone who fights by drawing out the power of contracted spirits to the extreme.

 

Even if you contract with a high-ranking spirit, it’s useless if you can’t draw out all of that spirit’s potential.

 

And what’s considered most important in drawing out a spirit’s power is the synchronization rate.

 

Lil understood the spirits she contracted with so well that her emotions could influence the spirits.

 

‘Usually people try to become stronger by contracting with higher-ranking spirits, but… should I say this is just like Lil? She’s built up her foundation well.’

 

Being sincere and putting careful effort into unseen places isn’t easy.

 

‘She really isn’t called a monster for nothing.’

 

While Leo was admiring this.

 

“Huh. The students representing Lumern have rough mouths.”

 

Setian let out a sigh.

 

“You need to be more aware of what position you’re in. Representing Lumern is never a light matter.”

 

Setian’s cold gaze turned toward Leo.

 

“Especially Leo Flobe. You are someone who has risen to the position of hero, you should be a model for others…”

 

Kwagagagagagagak-!

 

“…!”

 

The aura bursting from Leo’s sword aimed for Setian’s neck.

 

Another Justice Guild knight nearby blocked Leo’s attack with his shield.

 

A sword strike that burst forth in the blink of an eye.

 

The shield armed with aura shook roughly.

 

“What kind of power…”

 

The Female Knight hardened her expression as she looked at Leo.

 

“You’re not in a position to be giving sermons right now, are you?”

 

Thud-

 

Leo stepped toward the Justice Guild.

 

‘Among these, the one with the strongest combat power is that guy called Joren.’

 

Leo glanced at Joren, who was fighting against Lil.

 

And true to being from Lumern, he was definitely not a pushover.

 

‘A skilled fighter who has crossed countless battlefields. And that goes for these guys too.’

 

Whatever insane values they held, they were guild members of the world-renowned Justice Guild.

 

Leo’s red eyes turned toward the four Justice Guild members.

 

‘Two knight classes, one summoner, one mage.’

 

An ideal combination as a party.

 

Leo’s red eyes flashed.

 

Seeing this, the Female Knight holding the shield trembled slightly.

 

“Fierce killing intent. Not very hero-like, Leo Flobe.”

 

The Female Knight composed her expression and raised her spear.

 

“If you’re a hero, you should naturally be a model…”

 

“You keep spouting nonsense about being a model.”

 

Leo said, resting his sword on his shoulder.

 

“I’m someone who has never particularly thought about wanting to become a hero. Not in the past, not now.”

 

“What did you say?”

 

“I’m someone who doesn’t really suit what people nowadays call a hero.”

 

‘If a hero is someone who transforms the world, guides it to the right place, and shows dreams to countless people… then I’m someone who suits being a hero less than anyone else.’

 

I don’t particularly plan to become that either.

 

“I enrolled in Lumern purely because I had something personal to confirm.”

 

Leo chuckled.

 

“I never aimed to be a hero or tried to become one. Yeah. I just became one while doing things, I guess?”

 

Watching Leo shrug his shoulders, the Justice Guild’s faces hardened.

 

“Isn’t it funny for you to tell someone like me to be a model as a hero?”

 

“You… what exactly do you think a hero is!”

 

“Who cares? Was being a hero something worth thinking deeply about?”

 

The Female Knight’s shoulders began trembling.

 

It wasn’t just her.

 

Anger also appeared on the faces of the other Justice Guild members.

 

“For someone like you to be a hero! It’s unacceptable!”

 

“Whether you accept it or not, I’m already a hero, aren’t I?”

 

“No! You are not a hero! You’re absolutely not someone who suits being a hero! Being chosen by the Gods and having your name recorded in the Hero Record must be an error! Yes! That’s why you don’t have an epithet!”

 

Ignoring the Female Knight who was screaming hysterically, Leo said indifferently.

 

“Still, don’t I suit being a hero much better than people like you?”

 

“Nonsense.”

 

Setian showed his anger.

 

“Becoming a hero at such a young age, I suppose nothing is visible to you. I don’t think someone like you, who has no nobility, no goals, let alone ideals or ambitions, suits being a hero! A hero is a special existence! Only those who want to devote themselves to the world can become heroes!”

 

At that outcry, Leo chuckled.

 

‘Certainly things I’ve never had.’

 

Risinass’s nobility in yearning for light and trying to reclaim lost light.

 

Luna’s somewhat eccentric but grand goal of filling the entire world with flowers.

 

Arron’s warm ideal of wanting to create a world where children don’t have to worry.

 

Dweno’s grand ambition to fill the world with beauty.

 

Unlike his friends who each had paths they pursued, Kail had nothing particular he pursued.

 

Just following the natural order.

 

He entrusted himself to the flow of the world.

 

The result was the great achievement of saving the world.

 

But Leo still wondered.

 

‘Why was I born as Erebos’s natural enemy, and why was I reincarnated with my memories intact?’

 

Whether it was coincidence or fate.

 

Or he couldn’t even tell if it was inevitable.

 

Why did the world choose him of all people?

 

‘Surely there were others more suited to this power than me.’

 

Someone like Risinass, for instance.

 

‘As someone to save the world, he would suit it much better than someone like me.’

 

Leo, who had been pondering for a moment, chuckled.

 

‘Is there a need to think about it complexly? What’s important is that I need to pass on this world that I saved with those guys to future generations. And…’

 

“The fact that you guys are definitely wrong.”

 

Leo looked at the Armored Knight who was pressuring and charging at him.

 

‘Mithril, huh.’

 

A brilliant and pure light.

 

It was high-purity mithril heavy armor.

 

Armor that could provide powerful defense and fast mobility.

 

A knight approaching with a longsword and shield.

 

From the rear, Setian’s incantation could be heard, and the summoner summoned a water spirit.

 

Powerful mana swirled around Setian’s staff.

 

Puhwahahak-!

 

A pillar of water bursting from the ground swallowed Leo.

 

Tremendous water pressure pressed down on Leo.

 

This attack alone would have been enough to make an ordinary person’s body explode, but it wasn’t over.

 

Crackle-!

 

As Setian’s magic was completed, the water binding Leo froze solid.

 

Leo, trapped in ice, became unable to move at all.

 

Aiming for such Leo, aura-infused swords and spears came flying.

 

It was a moment’s instant.

 

In that brief moment, they had executed a flawless combination attack.

 

“I’ll show you how wide the world is!”

 

Setian shouted.

 

At that moment.

 

Leo curled up the corners of his mouth from within the ice.

 

Crack-!

 

Cracks appeared in the ice.

 

Crash-!

 

The ice shattered and Leo was freed.

 

The aura-infused spears and swords sliced through the void and crossed paths.

 

Bang-!

 

Leo lowered his stance to dodge the attack and threw the sword in his hand.

 

Thunk-!

 

“Guhk?!”

 

The sword flew at invisible speed and pierced the Spirit Mage’s shoulder.

 

And the sword went on to sever the Spirit Mage’s shoulder completely.

 

Ignoring the Spirit Mage who flew away and crashed pathetically to the ground, Leo quickly swung his fists at the two knights trying to swing their swords at him.

 

Crack-!

 

The sword and spear that touched Leo’s hands were destroyed with pathetic ease.

 

“No way…!”

 

“What the!”

 

Ignoring their cries of shock, Leo’s fists touched the Female Knight’s shield and the other Knight’s mithril armor.

 

The Female Knight sneered.

 

“This is an adamantium shield! It boasts invincible defensive power…!”

 

Crack-!

 

The adamantium shield was destroyed with pathetic ease.

 

“No way…!”

 

Bang-!

 

Leo’s fist struck the Female Knight’s face directly.

 

The Female Knight, her face caved in, collapsed on the spot.

 

His other fist crumpled the mithril armor like paper and tore it apart.

 

The Knight with his chest caved in also coughed up blood and sprawled on the ground.

 

Leo, having knocked down three guild members in an instant, approached Setian with an expressionless face.

 

“Wh-what… what kind of trick did you use!”

 

Setian’s mouth trembled.

 

Three people from the world’s top Hero Guild had fallen without being able to resist.

 

Looking at the shocked Setian, Leo opened his palm.

 

“Just simple spirit magic.”

 

“What?!”

 

“I tried imitating my friend a bit.”

 

What Leo imitated was none other than Risinass’s spirit magic.

 

“It’s a matter of fundamentals.”

 

Leo calmly opened his palm.

 

Lower-grade spirits of water and wind revealed themselves and crossed their arms as if saying ‘Ahem!’

 

“Ordinary elementalists become powerless when they can’t summon spirits.”

 

Leo said while looking at the Spirit Mage sprawled on the ground.

 

“He seemed like a Spirit Mage who handled water spirits. I asked the spirits I contracted with to interfere with that guy’s contract. His synchronization rate was terrible, wasn’t it?”

 

The spirit the Spirit Mage had contracted with was a highest-grade spirit, but breaking the contract itself was simple.

 

“In the case of knights, even if they strengthen their weapons with aura, they become momentarily defenseless when their weapons are destroyed. So I used spirit magic to corrode their weapons.”

 

“There’s no way mithril and adamantium could corrode so easily…!”

 

“If you know the basics of alchemy, changing the properties of even the hardest minerals is simple. Though this wouldn’t work if you refined your aura solidly.”

 

Step-

 

Leo reached in front of Setian.

 

“Your magic is the same. I used spirits to destroy part of your spell formation. That’s why it didn’t work properly. Your spell formation was crude, wasn’t it? Didn’t you lack study of basic concepts?”

 

“Are you mocking us! There’s no way such ridiculous things are possible! You used special power, didn’t you?! It’s unfair! Why did God give special abilities to someone like you! Why! Why! When I only have ordinary abilities…!”

 

“God or whatever, you guys were just lazy. That’s why you fell to such simple spirit magic that’s nothing special.”

 

Leo said irritably.

 

In fact, it wasn’t simple spirit magic.

 

Theoretically it was simple, but to do this required overwhelming synchronization rate, understanding of spirit magic, and experience.

 

Literally spirit magic that transcended common sense.

 

But as Leo said, if fundamentals had been properly refined, it was a method that wouldn’t have worked.

 

‘It’s the perfect technique to teach a lesson to guys who only pursued specialness and neglected fundamentals.’

 

Those who had only clung to visible results get tripped up by their poor foundations at crucial moments.

 

Even without Leo, these people would have eventually died in the process of achieving great deeds.

 

“At that age, not even knowing how wide the world is, yet you dare talk about becoming heroes.”

 

“You bastard!”

 

Crack-!

 

“Guk?!”

 

Leo kicked Setian in the chest.

 

The life disappeared from Setian’s eyes as he collapsed, coughing up blood.

 

“When I see things like you, I sometimes feel empty.”

 

Leo narrowed his eyes.

 

“When many people who risked everything couldn’t even enjoy this peace.”

 

Leo, who breathed deeply, scratched his head roughly.

 

“Well, I saved it knowing this would happen, so I don’t particularly regret it.”

 

Probably all those who saved the world would feel the same.

 

Leo looked up at the sky.

 

He could feel gazes watching him from afar.

 

‘Still, I should have the right to clean up at least.’

 

Leo smiled fiercely and raised his middle finger toward the void.

 

That was a declaration of war against the Justice Guild.

 

“I’ll sweep you all away. You trash.”
