665.

“Don’t you know me?”

Leo nodded as he looked at Dweno, who was watching him intently.

“I know you. You’re famous, after all.”

“That’s true. But I also know that I’m famous.”

Dweno slung his battle hammer over his shoulder and stared directly at Leo.

“What bothers me most right now is your attitude, acting as if you know me well.”

Suspicion flickered in Dweno’s eyes.

“I don’t know anyone like you. Moreover.”

Dweno’s suspicious gaze swept over the group.

“For having broken through this dangerous zone, you all seem remarkably relaxed.”

“But we look like beggars…”

“You stay quiet for a bit.”

Chelsea frowned as she covered Iliana’s mouth.

“I suspect you might be spies sent by Tartaros.”

“No! We’re…”

“I’ll decide whether that’s true or not.”

Cutting off Ar’s words, Dweno struck the ground with his battle hammer.

Gooooooo-

“First, I need to subdue the most dangerous one.”

Dweno’s gaze fixed directly on Leo.

Leo used his aura to strengthen the muscles of his shattered left shoulder.

The reinforced muscles held the shoulder bone in place and allowed it to move.

His shoulder began to move naturally.

Of course, the injury remained unchanged, so tremendous pain struck him, but now wasn’t the time to worry about that.

Whoosh-!

Seeing the battle hammer reach right in front of his nose, Leo clicked his tongue and launched a kick.

Crash-!

Leo’s kick and Dweno’s hammer collided head-on.

With that, Leo was sent flying backward as if bounced away.

Leo’s body was knocked back.

He hadn’t counterattacked with the intention of blocking it.

Literally, it was an attack aimed at reducing the power of the assault and using the rebound force to create distance from Dweno.

Leo frowned at the sharp pain he felt in his foot.

‘I still can’t get used to this brute strength.’

Dweno had far surpassed Kail in pure physical power.

Leo, who had landed on the ground, shouted.

“Attack!”

The group flinched at those words.

“B-but it’s Lord Dweno!”

“That Lord Dweno is about to beat us all down right now! Let’s calm him down first and then talk!”

“B-but! To calm Lord Dweno down, we’d have to give our all! If he gets injured in the process…”

“What?! Injured?”

Leo made an incredulous expression.

“This old man won’t get a scratch from ordinary attacks!”

Thud-!

Leo struck the ground with his palm.

Crash-!

Steel spikes erupted from the ground and attacked Dweno.

Crash-!

All the steel spikes that collided with the charging Dweno were completely shattered.

Seeing this, Leo clicked his tongue.

“Haa-!”

At that moment, Iliana aimed for Dweno’s side at tremendous speed.

“Ah! Attack successful?”

Thud-!

“Huh?”

Iliana was confused by how easily her attack had landed.

But soon she saw her sword blocked by Dweno’s shoulder and froze completely.

It felt like she had stabbed solid steel.

Iliana, whose mouth fell open, momentarily made eye contact with Dweno.

Thwack-!

“Kyaah?!”

Struck by Dweno’s swinging arm, Iliana shot high into the sky and crashed straight into the ground.

Cal made a pale expression as he looked at Iliana, who had fainted while foaming at the mouth.

“Really not even a scratch?”

Crackle-!

“You going too?”

“Hmph. The opponent is someone who was called the strongest vanguard.”

Duran drew his sword and looked at Dweno.

“It’s a chance to gauge how much my attacks work.”

“Think he’ll let you go easily?”

Just as the woman who had first attacked the group was smiling slyly.

“Aah? Try touching even a fingertip of my students!”

Artion, who had been under the woman’s feet, shouted with a murderous expression and stood up.

The woman looked surprised at Artion’s strength pushing her away.

“Small but incredibly strong!”

“Who are you calling small!”

Artion made a murderous expression and charged at the woman.

Meanwhile, Duran launched a lightning sword strike at Dweno.

Flash! Crackle-!

Dweno was engulfed by the lightning sword strike.

Whoosh-!

But he broke through the lightning storm and swung his hammer toward Leo.

Crash-!

Eliza used her summons to block Dweno.

But Dweno ignored the summons’ attacks and only pursued Leo.

Chelsea’s wind magic swept over Dweno, but his momentum didn’t die.

Seeing this, Luke made a confused expression.

“Why is he only targeting Senior Leo?”

“That’s obvious!”

Cal scratched his head vigorously.

“It means he can easily withstand our level of attacks! If he gives Leo time, a powerful finishing move will be prepared! In other words! We’re not even on his radar!”

Everyone’s faces hardened at those words.

“Isn’t there any way to stop Lord Dweno even a little?”

“If we were truly prepared to kill Lord Dweno and attacked… that might be possible.”

Cal frowned at Driana’s words.

Leo had told them to attack with all their might.

But no matter what, their opponent was a great hero who had saved the world.

As hero candidates, it was difficult for them to put their hearts into attacking him.

“This damn old man! Cut it out!”

Kwagagagagak-!

“Hmph! Spy or not! Your face! It’s unpleasant! For some reason I want to beat you up! Come here!”

Leo shouted with a voice filled with killing intent and unleashed a powerful sword strike.

Dweno, who dodged that attack, also roared as if he would tear his opponent to death.

“How can Leo-senpai fight like that?”

When Aina gritted her teeth and muttered, Cal burst into silent laughter inside.

‘In the previous life, wasn’t this kind of thing normal between Leo and Dweno-nim?’

They weren’t much different from their usual selves.

Only the scale was different.

“Anyway, we need to stop Dweno-nim…”

When Chelsea muttered with an anxious voice, Cal took a deep breath.

“I didn’t want to use this method… but I have no choice.”

“Do you have a secret weapon?”

At Driana’s question, Cal nodded heavily.

“I’ll have to be prepared to die… but as a man, there are times when you must risk your life.”

Cal stepped forward with heavy footsteps.

When everyone showed tense expressions at that heavy atmosphere.

Cal pulled something out from his chest.

“Dweno-nim! This is an artwork carved with the most beautiful person in this world! Isn’t it beautiful!”

At that shout, Dweno, who had been chasing Leo, hesitated and looked at Cal.

And after looking at the object in Cal’s hand, his eyes twitched for a moment.

What Cal had pulled out was none other than the sculpture Driana had made.

After looking at Cal for a moment, Dweno soon chased Leo with an indifferent face.

“Huh, what? That’s strange. I thought he would definitely react if I called this terrible thing art…”

“What! How is this beautiful!”

Thwack-!

“Ugh?!”

At that moment, the hooded woman who had been fighting Artion ran over and delivered a flying kick to Cal’s back.

“You’re desecrating art right now! Calling this thing art?! You apologize to art right now! Apologize!”

Rustle-!

The woman’s pointed ears were revealed as her hood came off.

“What are you doing to my student!”

Whoosh-!

The elf dodged Artion’s kick aimed at her back with quick movements.

“Are you okay? Student Cal!”

“I, I’m fine. But that elf… she resembles Dweno-nim.”

“What do you mean? They’re completely different races.”

“No. She had a gentle atmosphere until just now but suddenly changed. Just like Dweno-nim when he saw what Driana made.”

The gentle Dweno had rolled his eyes and had a fit when Driana showed him the artwork she had made.

“Anyway… that elf is not ordinary.”

Artion clenched and unclenched his fists with a frown.

Meanwhile, Leo, who had been confronting Dweno, looked at the elf facing Artion and muttered.

“…An elf I’ve never seen before.”

If she was a skilled fighter of that level during the Age of Calamity, Leo couldn’t possibly not know her.

But there was no elf who used such martial arts in Leo’s memory.

“You wouldn’t know. She’s an unknown painter.”

“A painter?”

“Yes.”

Affection filled Dweno’s eyes as he looked at the painter.

“A painter who draws the beauty of this world.”

At those words, Leo burst into laughter.

“…You. Why are you laughing so unpleasantly?”

“No. Now you seem like the you I know.”

“You’re saying strange things.”

Gooooo!

Dweno, who had been frowning, turned his gaze behind him.

There, Arga was crouching low, surrounded by golden aura.

“…Beast transformation?”

Dweno’s eyes widened greatly.

‘Even Dweno can’t ignore that.’

No matter how powerful Dweno’s defense was, that attack would be hard to ignore.

Just as Leo was taking his stance with that thought.

Thud-!

“…?”

Leo’s eyes were instantly filled with bewilderment.

Arga, who had reached right in front of Dweno at tremendous speed, let out a roar.

“Haaaaaaaaah!”

Crash-!

Ar’s kick hit Dweno directly.

Dweno, who blocked with his arms crossed, was sent flying.

“…? He took that head-on?”

Dweno wasn’t simply a vanguard with powerful defense.

He was a seasoned warrior who had experienced countless battlefields just like himself.

He wasn’t an easy opponent who would deliberately take a strong attack.

Yet Dweno had taken Ar’s attack head-on.

“Why?”

Leo looked at Dweno getting up with a bewildered expression.

“Indeed, it seems you’re not spies.”

Dweno brushed off the dust.

“I’ve heard of it. A party with a beastman who can transform at any time.”

Dweno looked at Leo.

“Are you the surviving hero Kail?”

‘Are you the surviving hero Kail?’

The exact same question from 5,000 years ago.

Leo clenched his fist at that.

The current Leo couldn’t answer yes to that.

‘As I thought. The current Dweno is… Dweno from before he met me.’

“…No.”

At Leo’s words, Dweno tilted his head.

“This guy probably isn’t the rumored beastman you know either.”

“Hmm? How curious. Well, an impossible miracle has already happened.”

“An impossible miracle?”

“Yes! That there’s still a night sky with stars in this world! Isn’t that an amazing miracle?”

Looking at Dweno laughing heartily, Leo gazed up at the sky.

The gloomy sky of the Age of Calamity.

But…

‘Stars appear at night.’

Perhaps this place was a domain at the boundary of the fake world that had invaded the real world.

And…

‘The current Dweno has no memories of me or Ar.’

When it was Arron and Luna, the memories from the previous Heroes’ World were clearly inherited.

But they weren’t inherited to Dweno.

Because it’s a past point in time?

‘That can’t be it.’

Leo organized his thoughts.

‘The Legion’s World.’

Leo looked up at the gloomy sky.

‘The Legion’s World is eroding the real world like a Hero Dungeon.’
