621.

 

“How arrogant. Well, I suppose uncontrollable confidence is a privilege of youth.”

 

Joroa nodded as she watched Leo point his sword at her and make his declaration.

 

Her hardened expression had already regained its composure.

 

“Especially for an unprecedented hero like you. I think you have every right to feel that way. But it wouldn’t be bad to show you how wide the world is.”

 

Joroa smiled as she looked at Leo.

 

“I’ll make you more perfect than you are now…”

 

Crack-!

 

Leo, who had somehow approached Joroa, swept her legs.

 

Normally, she would have lost her balance and fallen.

 

But from Leo’s kick, everything below Joroa’s knees was shattered to pieces.

 

“No.”

 

Leo spoke matter-of-factly.

 

Thud-

 

Joroa, who had lost everything below her knees, unknowingly fell to her knees and found herself looking up at Leo.

 

“You don’t have the right to stand and look at anyone.”

 

Leo looked down at Joroa with eyes as if viewing a worthless insect.

 

“Bugs should crawl on the ground like bugs.”

 

Crack-!

 

Leo immediately stomped on and crushed Joroa’s head.

 

Though she had Raina’s appearance, there was no hesitation in his actions.

 

Hissssss-!

 

Joroa’s body crumbled to dust and soon became white bones.

 

“Your attacks are rough. Is this venting anger?”

 

“Anger?”

 

Leo made a puzzled expression.

 

“I’m far from such romantic emotions.”

 

Whoosh-!

 

Leo closed the distance with Joroa.

 

Flames explosively swirled from Leo’s sword.

 

Seeing the flaming aura that seemed ready to devour her, Joroa deployed magic.

 

Crackle-!

 

Freezing magic swirled and enveloped Leo.

 

The flames were extinguished and Leo was trapped in ice.

 

Hissssss-!

 

Frost spread thickly due to the rapidly dropping temperature.

 

Joroa looked at Leo trapped in ice and spoke.

 

“You can’t win by attacking so recklessly.”

 

It was when Joroa smiled smugly.

 

Crack-!

 

Cracks appeared in the ice.

 

Seeing this, Joroa’s complexion changed drastically.

 

‘What? There was no sign of using magic or summoning?’

 

Crunch-

 

Leo shattered the ice and stood on the ground with a calm face.

 

Leo glanced at the magic that had confined him.

 

“Ice Prison. Is this Star Magic created by Seirun?”

 

“That’s right. It’s the Comet Mage’s unique magic that I reinterpreted and strengthened. Do you still doubt my abilities?”

 

“How crude. The magic collapsed just from severing one mana connection.”

 

“What?”

 

Leo’s indifferent gaze turned to Joroa.

 

“Do you have no talent other than ruining what others have made?”

 

Joroa’s face hardened stiffly.

 

“I’ll kindly teach you.”

 

Leo smiled coldly.

 

“How much the abilities you’ve stolen are rotting thanks to you.”

 

***

 

“Hup!”

 

Jamua held his breath.

 

Massive flames swirled toward him.

 

Boom-!

 

The magic exploded.

 

It was when the residents of Flobe’s Domain screamed and fled.

 

“-!”

 

A beautiful singing voice, unsuited to the urgent situation, could be heard.

 

Whoooosh-!

 

Powerful winds swirled throughout the surrounding area.

 

But the wind soon seemed to have a will of its own as it gently enveloped the domain residents who were about to be swept up in flames.

 

The wind gently rescued people from the flames.

 

Seeing this, Jamua was impressed.

 

“Magnificent!”

 

The wind didn’t just save people who were about to be caught in the explosion.

 

Buildings that had collapsed from the fierce fighting.

 

And there were many trapped beneath them.

 

The wind cleared away all that debris and rescued people from the ruins.

 

Literally, Chelsea was dominating the winds of the entire surrounding area.

 

‘When did she grow this much?’

 

Jamua looked at Chelsea with admiration.

 

Even until the 2nd year winter break, she wasn’t at this level.

 

In the time he hadn’t seen her, she had truly grown beyond recognition.

 

‘Is it Leo’s influence?’

 

Jamua recalled who was currently leading the Lumerne 3rd years and grinned.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Roaaaaar-!

 

One Ogre let out a roar and picked up building debris.

 

Groooooo-!

 

A dark red aura began to ripple around the massive boulder.

 

Seeing this, Jamua’s eyes stirred.

 

‘Aura?’

 

Jamua’s eyes stirred.

 

The power used by Mabeasts.

 

That was definitely aura.

 

Demons, Demonic Beasts, and Mabeasts are all cursed creatures born from the land of Tartaros.

 

Demons are residents of Tartaros, and Mabeasts are the deformed livestock they raise.

 

And Demonic Beasts are higher life forms than Mabeasts.

 

And the source of their power was demonic energy.

 

If humans process mana into aura, magic power, and spiritual power for use, then the life forms of Tartaros process demonic energy for use.

 

Naturally, the power they emit is fundamentally different.

 

‘But that Ogre just used aura.’

 

It wasn’t the dark aura used by Demons.

 

Pure aura, the same as what he himself used.

 

It wasn’t a power that a mabeast should be able to use.

 

Though Jamua felt doubt for a fleeting moment, his actions were swift.

 

Ordinary mass attacks wouldn’t reach Chelsea, who was currently controlling the surrounding wind.

 

But a throwing attack using aura would be different.

 

Whoosh-!

 

Kwaaaaaa-!

 

As Jamua leaped, the ogre hurled debris wrapped in aura toward Chelsea.

 

“Hryaaaah!”

 

Jamua wrapped his entire body in aura and let out a battle cry.

 

Kwagagagagang-!

 

Jamua, who blocked the attack, was pushed back as he was.

 

Creak- Creak-

 

The pressure felt from the massive debris crushed down on his entire body.

 

Thud-!

 

Jamua, who had been pushed back, put strength into his feet and planted both feet into the ground.

 

“Uryaaaaa!”

 

Jamua struck the pile of debris upward as it was.

 

Kwaaaaa-

 

The building debris that shot up into the sky at tremendous speed disappeared without a trace.

 

Jamua exhaled through his nose and said while loosening his shoulders.

 

“It’s been a while since I got some proper exercise.”

 

Even though he had blocked with his bare body an attack that could tear through powerful defensive magic like paper, Jamua was completely unfazed.

 

Though his armor had become rags, not a single scratch appeared on his robust body.

 

Jamua looked at the ogre and licked his upper lip with his tongue.

 

Chelsea, who had been watching that sight from behind, spoke.

 

“Senior Jamua.”

 

“Why are you calling me?”

 

“Can’t you just block it with a shield or something?”

 

“Shields are just cumbersome. If I carelessly block with a shield and it breaks, scattering fragments everywhere, the damage could become even greater.”

 

“No… even so, isn’t it too dangerous?”

 

“Heh.”

 

Jamua laughed smugly and struck his chest with his fist.

 

“I’ve overcome countless trials with this body alone! This powerful body is what made me who I am today! If I can’t trust my own body, who can I trust!”

 

Watching Jamua’s dynamically moving muscles, Chelsea shook her head back and forth.

 

“Chelsea Rwallin! If you train too, you can obtain such a strong body!”

 

“I’ll pass on becoming like that.”

 

“If you’re from the Knight Academy, you should naturally be able to overcome trials with your body alone!”

 

“I’m from the Magic Studies Department though.”

 

Chelsea and Jamua lightly exchanged jokes.

 

All the civilians in the surrounding area had already finished evacuating to safe places.

 

While Jamua defended against the pouring magical attacks, Chelsea had quickly evacuated the people around them.

 

“By the way.”

 

Chelsea’s eyes narrowed as she surveyed the surroundings.

 

“There’s no sign of Hero Hunters.”

 

As soon as Chelsea and Jamua overcame Risinass’s magic and entered the town of Flobe Estate, what they saw was powerful magic that had begun indiscriminately destroying the surroundings.

 

But no human presence could be felt in the surrounding area.

 

All there was, was a single ogre.

 

‘Are they hiding? But there’s no sign of that either?’

 

It was when Chelsea, who had quickly analyzed the surrounding situation through the wind, frowned.

 

Thud-! Thud-!

 

The massive ogre walked over.

 

Grwoooooooo!

 

An ear-splitting roar came from the ogre’s mouth.

 

Chelsea, who had covered her ears and squeezed her eyes shut at that roar, frowned and looked at the ogre.

 

And she made a flustered expression.

 

The ogre was crying.

 

“Tears of blood.”

 

Jamua narrowed his eyes.

 

“And Chelsea. Look at its hands.”

 

“Yes?”

 

Chelsea looked at the ogre’s both hands.

 

In those hands, a massive greatsword and staff were now held.

 

“An ogre with a sword and magic staff?”

 

When Chelsea made a perplexed expression, Jamua furrowed his brow.

 

“That’s not all.”

 

Gooooooo-!

 

Dark red aura rippled from the ogre’s sword, and dark red mana from its staff.

 

Seeing that, Chelsea’s complexion changed completely.

 

Aura and mana.

 

These weren’t powers that a monster should be able to use.

 

“Indeed.”

 

Jamua let out a groan.

 

“So this is what they call a turning point of the era.”

 

The world had witnessed countless miracles.

 

If that’s the case…

 

“It’s only natural that we’d witness nightmares to match them.”

 

“Senior Jamua, don’t tell me that ogre…”

 

“That’s right.”

 

Jamua clenched and unclenched his fists.

 

“It was originally a Hero Hunter.”

 

“…”

 

Chelsea’s face hardened stiffly.

 

Monsters are catastrophic beings by their very nature.

 

Especially ogres are threatening existences even among such monsters.

 

Creatures with vitality and strength that far surpass humans.

 

And they also possess cunning intelligence.

 

But they’re only intelligent for mabeasts, after all.

 

Compared to demons or demonic beasts, they’re not threatening creatures.

 

Even Lumern 1st year students can face ogres.

 

But what if you add human power to such an ogre’s overwhelming physical abilities?

 

Moreover, if that power belongs to a Hero Hunter who hunts heroes?

 

‘No, in this case it would be more accurate to say the Hero Hunter obtained the ogre’s power.’

 

Chelsea looked at the ogre with trembling eyes.

 

It wasn’t because of fear.

 

“Are you feeling pity?”

 

At Jamua’s words, Chelsea flinched and said.

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. I pity that thing too.”

 

No matter how powerful strength one obtains, what use is it if you fall to the level of a monster?

 

It was no different from losing her very essence.

 

“It’s entirely self-inflicted, though.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Chelsea nodded coldly at Jamua’s words.

 

Sympathy was just sympathy.

 

The fact that the opponent was an enemy to be defeated remained unchanged.

 

“I’ll take the front, Chelsea Rwallin.”

 

“Leave the rear to me.”

 

“Hehe. That little one has become so reliable.”

 

“Kids grow up fast.”

 

“But you’re still tiny in height!”

 

Jamua laughed heartily and patted Chelsea’s head with his massive hand.

 

Watching Jamua, Chelsea smiled faintly.

 

‘If he weren’t my senior, I would’ve hit him.’

 

***

 

Chelsea and Jamua weren’t the only ones facing the Hero Hunters transformed into demonic beasts.

 

Thoom-!

 

The earth shook.

 

Avad looked at the Gigantes approaching from afar and said.

 

“So that’s supposed to be a Hero Hunter?”

 

“That’s right. It was using magic.”

 

Ris gazed at the Gigantes with cold eyes.

 

The demonic beast Gigantes was originally called a disaster of the battlefield by itself alone.

 

And such a Gigantes was using magic.

 

“This will be troublesome.”

 

Killing intent flashed in Ris’s eyes.

 

***

 

Whoooosh-

 

“Ugh-! There are so many!”

 

Above the skies of Flobe Estate.

 

Selia, riding on Pegasus’s back, looked down with a disgusted expression.

 

Flying demonic beasts were soaring there.

 

“It seems they’ve tamed the demonic beasts through summoning magic.”

 

Ulta narrowed his eyes and looked at Pafnir, who had summoned those demonic beasts.

 

“So it was originally a human being? Hmm?”

 

Kieeeeeeeek-!

 

Just then, a mabeast’s scream came from above.

 

Selia and Ulta simultaneously looked up.

 

There, a flying demonic beast was bleeding profusely from its neck as it crashed toward them.

 

Slash-!

 

A silver flash flickered and completely severed the flying demonic beast’s neck.

 

From behind the powerless, falling flying demonic beast, someone jumped toward Pegasus.

 

Swoosh-!

 

Seeing the person who barely managed to grab onto Pegasus’s wing, Selia made a shocked expression.

 

“A-Aunt?!”

 

“Why is Lady Raina appearing here?”

 

Even Ulta, who wasn’t surprised by most things, made a bewildered expression.

 

At that, Raina smiled faintly.

 

“Hmm? Just happened to be here?”
