483.

 

‘Why is he suddenly acting like that?’

 

Leo narrowed his eyes as he watched Tamus’s sudden change in demeanor.

 

As if he couldn’t believe it.

 

He suddenly began muttering things like “This can’t be! This is impossible!” while looking dazed.

 

‘Until just now, even though he was crazy, he didn’t act like his mind had completely snapped?’

 

[The hero title has been revoked according to your will.]

 

[The name of Tamus, Knight of the Underworld, has been deleted from the Hero Record.]

 

“What?”

 

Leo showed a shocked expression at the message that suddenly appeared before his eyes.

 

Such an absurd situation.

 

Leo could immediately understand why the Knight of Twilight had suddenly shown such a strange reaction.

 

‘This is ridiculous.’

 

Publicly, the Hero Record is known as the last gift left on the earthly realm by the gods after the Age of Calamity ended 5000 years ago.

 

However, the true owner of the Hero Record is Hero of the Beginning Kail.

 

‘Well, since I’m already dead and gone, it’s been the gods who have been managing the records in the Hero Record for the past 5000 years.’

 

No matter how much they left the earthly realm, there’s no way the gods would lose interest in the earthly realm.

 

‘During the age of gods, the gods chose the earthly realm as their playground partly because they were bored, but fundamentally it was also because they loved the earthly realm.’

 

Though they cannot interfere, the gods are surely still watching over the earthly realm even now.

 

Therefore, anyone who catches the gods’ eye can have their name inscribed in the Hero Record.

 

Catching the gods’ eye is itself an extremely difficult thing.

 

But it means that those chosen by the gods can be revered as heroes regardless of their character.

 

‘It’s impossible to understand those bastards’ way of thinking in the first place.’

 

In this current age without gods, people greatly revere the gods.

 

However, among the people who actually lived during the age of gods, gods were often regarded as troublemakers.

 

Therefore, Leo couldn’t consider someone a hero simply because they received recognition from the gods.

 

‘None of the guys here are suitable to be heroes.’

 

Leo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the members of Justice Guild.

 

‘But even so, do I have the authority to revoke names from the Hero Record?’

 

Thinking about it, not only the Book of Shadows, but also the records of past heroes from before the Hero Record was created were recorded in the Hero Record according to Leo’s will.

 

‘If I have recording authority, it wouldn’t be strange to have deletion authority too. Still, it’s an absurd power.’

 

He can grant and revoke hero titles according to Leo’s will.

 

In the age of heroes, this is unimaginable power, no, divine authority.

 

‘If this fact becomes known, won’t I really be revered as a god?’

 

Leo let out a hollow laugh.

 

‘The authority is heavy. It’s not like I’m that guy Risinass.’

 

“What an interesting conversation. You’re saying you’re the Hero of the Beginning?”

 

Jerome burst into laughter while looking at Leo.

 

“Are you referring to the Great Hero who left this world 5000 years ago as ‘All Class’?”

 

“I’ve never particularly gone around proclaiming with my own mouth that I’m Kail.”

 

Leo said calmly.

 

“That bastard is just spouting nonsense on his own.”

 

The moment Leo looked at Tamus.

 

“How dare you do such a thing to me!”

 

Tamus roared in fury.

 

Gooooooo-!

 

The atmosphere trembled with his outcry.

 

The executives of Justice Guild flinched and trembled.

 

Terrifying killing intent poured out from Tamus’s body.

 

“Hup!?”

 

“Kugh!”

 

The complexions of the Justice Guild members changed at his tremendous aura.

 

Jerome narrowed his eyes.

 

‘Power comparable to a Legion Commander.’

 

It was power equal to the Legion Commander they had defeated in Heroes’ World before.

 

“Indeed, befitting a hero who carried an era on his shoulders. It’ll be worth defeating him.”

 

“This isn’t the time to be saying such carefree things, is it?”

 

“What?”

 

“It looks too difficult for you guys to handle, wouldn’t it be better to run away?”

 

Leo said calmly with his arms crossed.

 

Seeing such a Leo, Jerome curled up the corners of his mouth.

 

“How arrogant. Just because you became student council president in your first year and rose to hero status in your second year, you think there’s nothing you can’t see?”

 

Powerful spiritual energy flowed out from Jerome’s body.

 

“No matter how much you boast, you’re still just a brat. If you recklessly overestimate your abilities, you won’t live long…”

 

“Kraaaaa!”

 

Kwaaaaang-!

 

Before Jerome could finish speaking.

 

Tamus, who had drawn his sword from extradimensional space, charged toward Leo.

 

A great sword wrapped in pitch-black aura struck down at Leo.

 

Whioooooo! Kwagagagagang-!

 

Along with that, Leo was sent flying straight down to the ground and crashed.

 

Jerome’s complexion changed as he saw this.

 

‘I couldn’t see the attack, did he use spatial movement?’

 

It was an attack so fast it far exceeded Jerome’s perception.

 

“The opponent is a hero who once carried an era on his shoulders. Let’s respond thinking of him as a Legion Commander-level monster.”

 

At those words, the executives of Justice Guild quickly formed their formation.

 

They are seasoned heroes who have conquered countless Heroes’ Worlds.

 

Having experienced and overcome countless trials, they could maintain composure even before Tamus who displayed transcendent power.

 

“Should we consider him an opponent with skills equal to the Sword Saint?”

 

Jerome nodded at Chain’s question.

 

“That’s right.”

 

Flash-!

 

Countless light spirits were summoned in the void.

 

“Then shall we execute justice?”

 

***

 

Kwaaaaang-!

 

Leo’s body, which crashed to the ground, dug deep into the floor.

 

“Kyaaaaa!”

 

“Wh-what is it?”

 

Surrounding buildings collapsed and screams echoed from all directions.

 

Thud thud thud-!

 

As Leo got up, the sound of stone fragments pouring down could be heard.

 

“He’s definitely strong.”

 

Crack-

 

Leo cracked his stiff neck left and right as he rose through the debris.

 

The place Leo had flown to was none other than the Royal Palace.

 

When everyone was showing shocked expressions at seeing Leo flying from the sky.

 

“Lord Leo!”

 

Prince Jeremyn urgently ran to Leo.

 

“What’s the situation?!”

 

“Prince Jeremyn. Perfect timing.”

 

Leo discovered a familiar face and smiled broadly.

 

“Right now, the Knight of the Underworld has been revived as an undead.”

 

“The Knight of the Underworld?”

 

Jeremyn showed a bewildered expression.

 

If it was the Knight of the Underworld, he knew of him too.

 

No, he was a hero that anyone living in the northeastern continent would know.

 

However, the words that a hero from 3000 years ago had been revived as an undead were not easily believable.

 

Jeremyn, who had been flustered, soon showed a serious expression.

 

“What should we do?”

 

It hadn’t been long since he met Leo.

 

But Jeremyn, as a crown prince who would lead at least one country in the future, had an eye for people.

 

He knew that Leo would never speak nonsense.

 

“If we’re unlucky, this entire capital could become a wasteland.”

 

“The entire capital?”

 

Jeremyn showed a horrified expression.

 

“Yes.”

 

‘That guy is stronger than the Sword Saint.’

 

Comparing him to Sword Saint Kalian as a hero was preposterous.

 

That would be an act tantamount to blasphemy against Kalian.

 

But as a knight, Tamus was definitely a strong warrior.

 

If he properly fought such a Tamus, destroying one city would be nothing.

 

“Yes, we need to evacuate the capital’s people to the safest place possible.”

 

“I will command the soldiers to evacuate the people to a safe place.”

 

Jeremyn showed a resolute expression.

 

“You could die, you know?”

 

“The people’s lives come first.”

 

Looking at Jeremyn who answered with a firm expression, Leo chuckled.

 

“I like you.”

 

“I heard that an army of the dead is invading outside the capital. What should we do about that?”

 

“There’s a suitable person who can command soldiers for that. Lil.”

 

-Yes, Master!

 

“You’re from a military family, so you’ve received education as a commander, right?”

 

-I have, though inadequately. Of course, compared to you, Master, it’s nothing special. Ah, there’s so much to learn from you, Master…

 

Leo cleanly ignored Lil who was belittling herself again and looked at Jeremyn.

 

“Would it be alright to entrust Lil with commanding the castle defense?”

 

“To Lady Lil? I should request military authority from Aba Mama…”

 

“Are you talking about the hero candidate Lil?”

 

Then an arrogant voice was heard.

 

King Kanel was walking over, accompanied by a group wearing white armor and robes.

 

“Justice Guild?”

 

It was when Leo showed a puzzled expression.

 

“Just now, the Justice Guild declared they would save our country from the wicked attack of Tartaros.”

 

King Kanel spoke with a confident voice.

 

Seeing that, Leo burst into a hollow laugh.

 

“Aba Mama. Even so, we must evacuate the people to a safe place.”

 

“Hmph. Don’t speak such foolish words. The heroes of Justice Guild, led by Light Seeker Jerome, will subjugate the Knight of the Underworld, a specter of the past. Carelessly evacuating the capital’s people will only increase confusion. Justice Guild members dispatched throughout the capital are currently reassuring the people. Don’t act rashly!”

 

At King Kanel’s words, one Justice Guild member said:

 

“The Guild Master and executives will soon bring news of victory.”

 

At those confident words, Leo looked up at the sky.

 

“That doesn’t seem likely though?”

 

Gooooooooo-!

 

A storm of aura swept from the Knight of the Underworld.

 

The aura storm completely vaporized one knight-class hero who was in the vanguard without a trace.

 

“Huk!”

 

“Hup?!”

 

Cries of shock burst out among the Justice Guild members.

 

Whoosh-!

 

Then the Knight of the Underworld swung the golden greatsword he drew from extradimensional space.

 

Crack-!

 

And someone’s head flew off helplessly.

 

“Huk!”

 

“Ch, Chain-nim!”

 

A renowned mage hero on the continent.

 

Even Chain, the vice guild master of Justice Guild, lost his life.

 

Seeing that, terror burst out among Justice Guild.

 

As the atmosphere became ominous, King Kanel urgently said:

 

“Heroes of Justice Guild. Shouldn’t you hurry to help them…”

 

But before King Kanel could finish his words, the Justice Guild members began fleeing hastily.

 

“L, look here!”

 

King Kanel urgently called to them, but they quickly escaped.

 

‘Should I say this is fitting for those who rose to the ranks of heroes by accumulating karma?’

 

Leo narrowed his eyes.

 

No matter how helplessly the guild executives had fallen, to think of fleeing without regret while holding the title of hero.

 

‘The gods must have made such trash into heroes without knowing. Bad taste.’

 

“Y, Your Majesty. What should we do now?”

 

One of the ministers asked with a bewildered face.

 

King Kanel’s body trembled.

 

“Hurry to the Warp Gate! Gather the treasures!”

 

King Kanel shouted urgently.

 

Jeremyn blocked the path of such King Kanel.

 

“What are you doing! Move aside!”

 

“Aba Mama, may I take military authority?”

 

“Such nonsense in this situation! Move aside!”

 

“Military authority you won’t even use, why don’t you hand it over to your son?”

 

Leo stood beside Jeremyn.

 

Looking at Leo who smiled coldly, King Kanel flinched and shouted:

 

“Do as you please! So move aside!”

 

At those words, Jeremyn bowed his head and Leo also moved his steps.

 

“Then, Your Highness. I entrust the earthly realm to you. I’ll go deal with that guy.”

 

“If you join forces with Justice Guild, could you subjugate it?”

 

“Those things will probably run away. Or die quickly.”

 

Leo spoke calmly.

 

“Alone… are you planning to fight against such a monster? This country has no connection to you, Leo-nim, does it? Then why?”

 

Jeremyn showed a bewildered expression.

 

Fighting against the Knight of the Underworld, whom even Justice Guild couldn’t stop, was clearly a suicidal act to anyone.

 

Probably no one would blame Leo if he withdrew from here.

 

No, perhaps there would be more people hoping that the promising Leo would preserve his life.

 

Yet Leo was trying to fight against the enormous threat.

 

At Jeremyn’s question, Leo spoke calmly:

 

“If there are people who threaten, there should also be people who save.”

 

“Is that your belief as a Hero, Leo?”

 

“No, it’s something a friend of mine said.”

 

Leo smiled slightly.

 

“That guy didn’t particularly consider it a belief either. If I had to categorize it, I’d call it logic?”

 

“Logic?”

 

“Yes. That’s how the balance works, right?”

 

Was there any special reason for the malice that threatens people’s today?

 

Then there probably isn’t any particularly special reason for the goodwill that saves those people either.

 

That’s how the world keeps turning.

 

“And he said that a person who can face that reasonless malice without reason is called a Hero.”

 

You’re not a Hero because you’re special.

 

Just being able to show goodwill already makes you special.

 

Leo burst into laughter and said.

 

“Anyas.”

 

At Leo’s call, the Shadows led by Anyas revealed themselves.

 

Jeremyn was startled by their sudden appearance.

 

“Your orders.”

 

“Do what the Heroes couldn’t do.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

Anyas, who had been bowing her head, looked at Leo with a puzzled expression.

 

“You said that Shadows do what Heroes cannot do, right?”

 

Leo smiled.

 

“Countless Heroes have abandoned This City.”

 

Leo grinned.

 

“Then what the Shadows should do is obvious, isn’t it?”

 

“You mean…”

 

“It’s time for you Shadows to protect This City that the Heroes abandoned.”
