584.

 

Hwareureureureuk-

 

“What is that?!”

 

Runia’s eyes widened at the black flames visible outside the window of the Tower of Heroes.

 

At the same time, Eiran’s bewildered voice was heard.

 

“Miss Runia! Your appearance…?!”

 

“Huh? You too?”

 

“What? Ah!”

 

Runia and Eiran, who had been in the forms of Seirun and Ajonia, had somehow returned to their original appearances.

 

It wasn’t just the two of them.

 

Driana had also reverted to her original form.

 

Runia, who had been wearing a confused expression, flinched and trembled her shoulders.

 

“It’s the same as that time…”

 

“What time?”

 

“When we subjugated the fragment of Erebos in Luna’s World! It’s exactly the same as then!”

 

It was like this when they conquered Luna’s World during their first year.

 

The possession was released simultaneously with Erebos’s rampage, and they returned to their original forms.

 

“The people manifested inside the Heroes’ World can’t perceive that monster’s existence!”

 

Runia stepped onto the windowsill.

 

“We have to stop that! Otherwise, this world will collapse!”

 

Hwaak-!

 

Wings of flame spread on the back of Runia, who jumped from the window without hesitation.

 

It was magic that manifested the wings of a Phoenix.

 

Seeing this, Driana leaped and climbed onto Runia’s back.

 

“Won’t you get off?!”

 

“How petty! Give me a ride!”

 

“What do you think I am!”

 

“A model equipped with transportation functions.”

 

“Do you want to die?!”

 

“Miss Runia! Right now, stopping those flames is the priority!”

 

Eiran flew to Runia’s side and spoke urgently.

 

Runia, grinding her teeth at this, flapped her wings.

 

Hwareureuk-!

 

The flame wings created by magic traced a trajectory as they flew toward the Calamity Flame.

 

Upon arriving near Erebos, Runia dropped Driana from her back.

 

Driana also obediently got off Runia’s back.

 

Now alone, Runia’s hair turned pure white.

 

Gooooooo-!

 

The crimson flames transformed into pure white.

 

The flames of the Phoenix King that purify the world.

 

Hwareureuk-!

 

Vivid crimson flames blazed from Runia’s outstretched hands.

 

The forbidden magic of the Runda Family.

 

Sacred flames that burn impure things by using even oneself as kindling merged with the white flames.

 

‘Sacred Fire.’

 

When Runia raised her hand upward, enormous flames blazed fiercely.

 

Runia’s flames had become as massive as the Calamity Flame.

 

The Sacred Fire’s flames devoured the black flames.

 

Hwaak-!

 

The pure white flames that consumed the black flames suddenly died down.

 

The black flames disappeared without a trace.

 

At that moment.

 

The pure white flames rapidly contracted.

 

Seeing this, Runia flinched and wrapped her entire body with Phoenix wings.

 

Kwagagagagagagang-!

 

The flames that had shrunk to fist size in the blink of an eye caused a tremendous explosion.

 

Simultaneously, black flames tore through Runia’s flames.

 

“Tch!”

 

Clicking her tongue, Runia quickly distanced herself from the black flames.

 

Gooooooo-!

 

The black flames pursued Runia.

 

To shake off the black flames’ pursuit, Runia rapidly ascended into the sky.

 

Goooooooooo-!

 

The black flames persistently closed the distance with Runia.

 

‘It’s getting harder to avoid!’

 

Just as Runia gritted her teeth and prepared for Erebos’s attack.

 

Hwaak-!

 

Someone grabbed and pulled Runia as if snatching her away.

 

“Chelsea Rwallin!”

 

“Hold on tight!”

 

Chelsea, wrapped in wind all over her body, manipulated the surrounding air.

 

Chelsea’s body rapidly accelerated.

 

The distance from the black flames increased.

 

In an instant, a wall of black flames rose in front of Chelsea.

 

Chelsea reduced her speed and flew in another direction.

 

As the distance was quickly closed again, the black flames split into multiple branches and pressed Chelsea and Runia.

 

Chelsea, tracking with her eyes the trajectories of black flames trying to ensnare her from multiple directions, maximized her mobility.

 

Hwaak-!

 

“Ugh?!”

 

Runia unconsciously hugged Chelsea’s body tightly.

 

Chelsea avoided all of Erebos’s complex attacks while heading toward the ground.

 

Huwang-!

 

Chelsea moved rapidly at a height that seemed to almost touch the ground.

 

The black flames persistently chased behind Chelsea.

 

“Stupid cat!”

 

Chelsea shouted urgently.

 

Before she knew it, Ar was standing where Chelsea was heading.

 

Ar’s blue eyes, having performed hand seals, directly faced Erebos’s flames.

 

In Ar’s hands was a broken sword.

 

Braver.

 

The sword Arron had left for Ar.

 

A golden aura formed at the sword’s tip.

 

A subtle golden aura also flowed from Ar’s body.

 

Teop-!

 

Ar gripped the sword with both hands.

 

“Haaaaaaat!”

 

Ar let out a battle cry.

 

Beonjjeok-! Kwagagagagagagang-!

 

As she swung the sword, a massive golden sword strike poured forth.

 

‘Lord Arron’s sword?!’

 

Runia’s eyes widened at the sword strike that reminded her of Arron.

 

Chelsea quickly dodged the sword strike, and the pursuing black flames were swept away by the attack.

 

Kwagagagagak-!

 

The sword strike that left scars on the earth also blew away the pillar of black flames.

 

‘That kid Ar… when did she become so…’

 

Runia was surprised.

 

It wasn’t just Runia.

 

All the attackers looked at Ar with surprised eyes at that overwhelming spectacle.

 

“When did that kid Ar become so strong?”

 

When an Ajonia student exclaimed in shock, Rwen spoke calmly.

 

“There’s nothing strange about it. Considering how that stupid cat usually trains.”

 

After receiving the Braver from Arron, Ar pushed herself even more harshly.

 

Originally, Ar had always admired Arron and wanted to become like him.

 

But after meeting Arron directly and being recognized as his successor, her goal became even clearer.

 

It wasn’t simply wanting to become like Arron.

 

She had to become like Arron.

 

She had to become like him and reassure that worry-filled hero.

 

That was the goal Ar had embraced, and to achieve it, Ar struggled desperately.

 

Whooosh-!

 

Ar’s white hair fluttered in the blowing wind.

 

Seeing that sight, Chelsea muttered blankly.

 

“She’s like… Lord Arron…”

 

Those words were true.

 

Ar’s current appearance certainly reminded them of Arron.

 

It wasn’t just Chelsea’s personal impression, as no one denied those words.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Ar’s ears perked up.

 

Then she crossed her arms boldly, lifted her chin, and made a triumphant expression.

 

“Hehe!”

 

“Lord Arron, I’m sorry. I thought that stupid cat resembled you.”

 

Chelsea sincerely apologized to Arron.

 

Hwareureureuk-!

 

The black flames blazed up once again.

 

Seeing that, Driana muttered.

 

“It doesn’t seem as strong as the fragment of Erebos we encountered during summer vacation.”

 

“Of course not. What we fought last time was one fragment from the Erebos that the Hero of the Beginning had split into six pieces. But that’s just a shard that broke off from that fragment. It wouldn’t make sense for it to be that strong.”

 

Runia clenched her fist.

 

“Even so, it’s still a monster.”

 

“C-can we handle it with just our strength?”

 

Eiran showed an anxious expression.

 

At those words, when Runia was biting her lips tightly.

 

“We have no choice.”

 

Ar said while glaring at the black flames.

 

“We can’t rely on someone who isn’t here right now. We have to do it ourselves.”

 

Thud- Thud-

 

Ar, who answered resolutely, walked toward the black flames.

 

“If you hope for help, you’ll only stay in the same place forever.”

 

Grip-

 

“We can’t be treated like children forever. To become equal. To follow in that guy’s footsteps.”

 

Many gazes fell upon Ar’s back.

 

“We have to overcome this with our own strength.”

 

What Ar was looking at were the backs of two people walking far away.

 

One was the back of the hero she never stopped admiring.

 

The other was.

 

‘Black Rabbit.’

 

Ar’s back gave those watching the courage to move forward.

 

Seeing that sight, Chelsea muttered.

 

“Just now, she really looked like Lord Arron.”

 

“Ahem!”

 

“She’s still just a stupid cat after all.”

 

When Chelsea clicked her tongue.

 

“Cal? Where is Cal?”

 

Eliza asked Eiran.

 

At those words, Eiran’s eyes widened.

 

“Um… Lord Cal said he was having a separate conversation with Lady Rodia… He’ll be here soon.”

 

“It would definitely be troublesome without that guy.”

 

Runia muttered while furrowing her brow.

 

“I feel a bit more at ease when that guy takes command.”

 

“Give command to Cal Thomas?”

 

At Runia’s words, not only Seirun but also Ajonia and Demian students began murmuring.

 

“Cal certainly has amazing ability to read the flow of battle and give commands.”

 

Avad nodded as if convinced.

 

“That’s true. When we fought the fragment of Erebos in Lord Dweno’s world before, we received great help from Cal. He should hurry and come.”

 

Meanwhile, at that moment, Cal was.

 

Hwareureureuk!

 

“Kyaaaaaaak!”

 

Cal screamed in terror and hid behind Rodia’s back.

 

“Don’t run away!”

 

“Lady Rodia can say that because you can’t see those black flames! They’re incredibly menacing!”

 

“That’s exactly why you need to look carefully! Ack! I got burned! Hurry up and come forward to tell me where these damn flames are!”

 

“I’ll die if I go out now!”

 

“Am I your shield!”

 

“You said you’d be my shield!”

 

He was going to find Lumern together with Rodia, who couldn’t see the black flames.

 

***

 

Flash-!

 

A flash of light flickered.

 

“Kyaaaaaaak!”

 

“Hey, it’s hurting my ears, so could you be a bit quieter?”

 

When Iliana screamed, Elena, who was being held in Iliana’s arms like a princess, spoke calmly.

 

“How can I not scream! Erebos’s flames are blazing right in front of us… Kyaaaaaaak!”

 

“So Erebos is scary but I’m not scary, huh. Should I make you suffer a terrible fate?”

 

“Hiiik!”

 

Iliana was terrified by Elena’s threat.

 

The reason Iliana was currently carrying Elena and approaching Erebos was simple.

 

It was to help Kail, who was single-handedly holding back Erebos.

 

“Why does it have to be me!”

 

“Because you’re the fastest.”

 

Elena smiled brightly.

 

Seeing Elena like that, Iliana began to dislike her earlier self.

 

‘I’m the fastest one here. Hands down.’

 

‘Hoot. In terms of speed, that Iliana Raden is faster than the renowned 2nd year students Chelsea, Duran, and Eliza. What can I help you with, senior?’

 

‘Oh my, how reliable. I appoint you as my mount.’

 

‘What?’

 

‘Could you carry me and get close to Erebos?’

 

Elena needed two things.

 

Time to focus completely on casting magic.

 

And a knight with the mobility to protect her and move at high speed during that time.

 

Iliana was the perfect knight who fit those requirements exactly.

 

Elena pulled out her staff from her embrace.

 

As she began her incantation, a massive storm of magical power swirled around.

 

Iliana, who was holding Elena in her arms, flinched and trembled.

 

‘I knew she was amazing, but.’

 

As a mage knight, Iliana knew just how monstrous a mage Elena Jeron was.

 

But this was….

 

‘In terms of magical power alone, this surpasses the level of most mage-class Heroes, doesn’t it?’

 

It was when Iliana was gulping down her dry saliva.

 

Hwaaak-!

 

Black flames reacting to Elena’s magical power came rushing at them.

 

Seeing this, Iliana drew her sword.

 

Flash-!

 

An aura of light split the black flames apart.

 

Iliana, who had been dodging Erebos’s attacks at tremendous speed, trembled her shoulders.

 

‘At this rate, it’ll be hard to avoid!’

 

Iliana bit her lips tightly.

 

Due to the unimaginably powerful magical waves, the target of the black flames’ attacks had shifted from Kail to Elena.

 

In that split second, there wasn’t even a moment to escape.

 

Iliana’s body moved with cold precision.

 

Hwaaak-!

 

She threw Elena, who she had been holding in her arms, with all her strength to get her out of the attack range.

 

Elena, who had safely escaped the range of the black flames, unleashed her magic.

 

‘Now what do I do?’

 

Iliana smiled bitterly.

 

She had managed to send Elena, the one she needed to protect, to safety, but now she was the problem.

 

‘Please, just don’t let me die…!’

 

The moment Iliana squeezed her eyes shut.

 

Flash-!

 

Hwareureuk-!

 

Gray aura severed the black flames in two.

 

Flap-!

 

A black cloak wrapped around Iliana’s body.

 

“Ah?”

 

Iliana let out a dazed exclamation as she opened her eyes and looked up.

 

The moment the black flames targeted Elena, a gap was created, and Kail had squeezed through that gap.

 

Glance-

 

Kail looked down at Iliana.

 

Kail flicked Iliana’s forehead with his finger as she gaped and said.

 

“Who told you to give up so easily.”

 

At those words, Iliana’s face turned red as if it would burst, forgetting even the situation.

 

Kail, who had set Iliana down from his arms, rushed toward the black flames that had taken a direct hit from Elena’s magic.

 

Elena approached Iliana.

 

“Are you okay?”

 

“So, so cool… Bad for my heart… I want to be Kail’s fan starting today. Haak… Haak….”

 

Iliana, who had slumped down on the spot, muttered while forgetting the situation.

 

“Get a grip. That guy already has an owner, mister.”

 

“I, I don’t care…!”

 

“What a sinful human being. That guy too.”

 

Elena clicked her tongue.
