672.

Thud-! Thud-!

The faces of the Isvaldi warriors watching the endlessly advancing army of the Giant King were stained with terror.

Everyone was trembling while gripping their weapons.

That’s when it happened.

“Please let us fight too!”

A voice was heard from below the city wall.

Leo went toward the inner wall and looked down below.

Below the city wall.

He could see beastmen and dwarf boys and girls who appeared to be in their late teens, each gripping weapons with determined expressions.

“We can fight! We’ll be helpful!”

“I said no!”

“We’re warriors too! Look! We have weapons!”

“Those are just things made by young brats! And! Do you think you can stand on this dangerous battlefield just because you’ve hunted a few monsters!”

The beastkin girl and dwarf boy at the front gritted their teeth.

“Leo. What are you looking at?”

Then Cal approached with a puzzled face and turned his gaze below the inner wall.

Instantly, the beastkin girl pointed at Leo and Cal with her finger.

“Then what about those people! They’re outsiders! So why are they participating in battle!”

“Lord Dweno has permitted them to stand on the battlefield!”

“Ugh! Why can’t we! We’re also prepared to die at any time!”

“Wow, what a spirited little beastman.”

Cal, who leaned against the railing and exclaimed in admiration, said to Leo.

“They seem quite confident in their skills. Wouldn’t they be helpful if we fought together?”

“No.”

“Why?”

Cal made a flustered expression at Leo’s firm words.

“The era you’re living in is different from the era those kids lived in.”

The Age of Calamity was a declining era.

An era when even properly educating children was difficult.

It was clearly different from Cal, who was born in the Age of Heroes.

Moreover, in the current era, there was also something called Hero Record.

A gift from God that inherited not only the experiences but also the abilities of previous heroes.

Their living environment was different from hero candidates who were thoroughly prepared to stand on the battlefield.

“They might have plenty of real combat experience in their own way.”

Leo turned around coldly.

“But that’s all. In this era, the only time such brats stand on the battlefield is when the city is on the verge of destruction.”

At those words, Cal clicked his tongue while looking at the boys and girls of similar age who were looking up at them with frustrated expressions.

Cal, who was about to follow Leo, suddenly made eye contact with the beastkin girl who seemed to be the leader.

Cal looked down at the beastman, smiled brightly, and waved his hand.

“Don’t worry too much. My friends may not look like it, but they’re all monsters. We’ll keep the city safe.”

“Ugh!”

Sparks flew in the beastkin girl’s eyes.

“Cal, come quickly.”

“Coming!”

At Chelsea’s call, Cal pulled back from the inner wall railing and headed toward the outer wall.

And looking at the Giant King’s army visible beyond the city wall, he muttered.

“But there really are disgustingly many of them…”

“Hmph. You were babbling about changing history just a moment ago, and now you’re making pathetic sounds?”

“I guess I wasn’t quite in my right mind a moment ago.”

At those words, Eliza put her hand to her forehead and shook her head.

“I’m an idiot for thinking you were a little cool.”

“Huh? What? I think I just heard something incredible? Could you say that one more time?”

“Get lost.”

When Cal widened his eyes and brought his ear closer, Eliza irritably pushed Cal’s head to the side.

“Everyone’s overflowing with leisure.”

Leo said while watching that scene.

“Yeah. But excluding us, the atmosphere isn’t very good.”

Chelsea said while looking at the intimidated city wall.

It couldn’t be helped.

The Giant King’s army visible before them was literally a despairing force.

Of course, the same was true for the hero candidates.

Even for them, a Tartaros Legion of this scale was enough to instill fear.

Even in that situation, Leo’s party maintained their composure.

Even if they felt fear, they weren’t crushed by it.

One of the reasons the hero candidates could maintain their composure was precisely Dweno’s presence.

The people of Isvaldi didn’t know, but all hero candidates knew.

That Dweno was one of the great heroes who ended the Age of Calamity.

Of course, they weren’t simply relying only on Dweno.

They shook off the anxiety seeping into their hearts and squeezed out courage.

Because they could see the back of one person who didn’t waver in their eyes.

‘Lord Dweno is Lord Dweno, but Leo is also playing a big role.’

A hero who had turned countless impossibilities into possibilities.

The trust that the human named Leo Flobe gave was tremendous.

He was literally their leader.

“Then shall we turn fear into courage?”

“Black Rabbit, fighting!”

At Leo’s words, Arga clenched her fist and cheered.

At that reaction, Leo looked back at Ar with a pathetic expression.

“What are you talking about?”

“Eh?”

“It’s not something I should do, but something you should do.”

“Me?”

Arga pointed at herself with her finger with a flustered face.

“In the Age of Calamity, whose role was it to give courage to allies who fell into fear on the battlefield?”

“Lord Arron!”

“Then who are you?”

“Ar Tune! One who inherits the hero’s will!”

“Then turning fear into courage is your role.”

Leo lightly pushed Ar’s forehead with his hand.

“How long are you going to leave it all to me? Take some of this burden.”

“Geez! That’s such an extremely tired old man’s way of talking!”

Ar grumbled while rubbing her forehead, but soon nodded.

“But that’s definitely right! Just like Black Rabbit said! Hah! Me, who has risen to the position of hero! It’s time for Lady Ar, who inherits the hero’s will, to step forward!”

Ar, who made a triumphant expression, climbed to the highest point of the city wall.

Everyone’s gaze turned to Ar as they watched the cat beastman who had suddenly climbed to the highest point.

“Hey! Look here! I allowed you to participate in battle, but I can’t tolerate moving on your own!”

“More than that! It’s dangerous to be in such an exposed place!”

Beastmen from the surroundings rushed urgently to bring Ar down.

Ar, who was boldly exposed to the enemies, looked far too precarious.

They could immediately be hit by magic or long-range projectile weapons.

“Huuuup!”

Arga takes a deep breath.

Watching that sight, Leo looked at the battlefield.

‘He must be watching too.’

The Overlord King was surely watching this battlefield.

‘Show them. Show them who you are.’

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!

A tremendous roar echoed from Ar’s mouth.

Golden aura swirled around Ar’s body.

The warriors of Isvaldi flinched upon hearing the howling.

“This is…?”

“What on earth…”

Fear began to disappear.

What filled their hearts instead was courage.

Dweno’s grip tightened on his battle axe.

The sight of Ar’s back as she howled was etched in his eyes.

“What?!”

“Beast transformation!”

In broad daylight when not even a full moon had risen.

Seeing Ar undergo beast transformation, exclamations of shock burst out from everywhere.

But the miracle didn’t end there.

The beastman warriors began transforming one by one.

They looked at the changes happening to their bodies with faces of disbelief.

“Wh-what is this!”

“Amazing!”

Power overflowed through their bodies.

Arga, having undergone beast transformation, bumped fists together and grinned wickedly.

“Everyone, don’t be scared! If you’re scared, you can’t win even winnable fights! Those ugly bastards! Let’s smash them all!”

“Waaaaaaaah!”

The warriors of Isvaldi, filled with high morale, let out battle cries.

“This is impossible…!”

“How reassuring indeed!”

Ennitha wore an expression of shock while Dweno stroked his beard and burst into hearty laughter, “Wahahahaha!”

That’s when it happened.

Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiak!

An enormous number of Pafnir revealed themselves in the sky.

Seeing that, Leo said.

“Eliza.”

“What?”

“How long are you going to keep hiding?”

“Hmph.”

Eliza snorted, closed her eyes, and brought her hands together.

Crackle- Crackle-!

Pure white lightning began swirling around Eliza.

Chelsea’s eyes widened at the sight.

“Could it be?”

Pababababat!

With a white flash, a pure white Pegasus appeared before Eliza.

“Impossible.”

“She summoned a Pegasus at that age?”

“Those kids! What exactly are they!”

The warriors on the city wall let out exclamations of shock once again.

Clop- Clop-

“Duran Moira, Chelsea Rwallin.”

Eliza approached the Pegasus and looked at each of her rivals one by one, then smirked.

“You’ll never be able to follow me now.”

“How ridiculous.”

“Hmph! I’ll catch up soon enough, so enjoy this moment while you can!”

Duran wore an indifferent expression while Chelsea snorted.

“Um, Eliza. What about me.”

When Iliana asked with a reluctant face, Eliza said.

“Is someone as lazy as you worth discussing?”

“Waaaah! Eliza’s ignoring me!”

“So let’s train hard, okay?”

When Iliana complained to Leo with a tearful face, Leo grinned.

“Wow! Amazing! You finally succeeded!”

Cal exclaimed in admiration.

Seeing Cal like that, Eliza smirked and tried to mount the Pegasus.

“Wow! But Eliza! It’s really pretty!”

“What?”

At that moment, Cal’s words made her slip and nearly fall.

“What are you suddenly saying!”

Watching Eliza shout with a slightly reddened face, Cal pointed at the Pegasus and said.

“What do you mean what am I saying. Your Pegasus is really pretty.”

“…”

Eliza’s shoulders trembled.

“You… just wait until this is over.”

“Why though.”

“Hmph!”

Watching Cal make an aggrieved expression, Eliza snorted and gently stroked the Pegasus’s neck.

“Let’s go, Ruga.”

[Yes, Eliza.]

Flash- Crackle-!

A storm swirled as Eliza’s Pegasus, Ruga, soared into the sky.

Crack! Crackcrackcrack!

Kyaaaaaaak!

Kiiiiiak!

Pure white lightning traced trajectories.

Where the trajectories passed, Pafnir screamed and crashed down.

“It’s completely one-sided.”

“The lightning power that Pegasus possesses is the natural enemy of Pafnir.”

Leo explained to Ar’s admiring comment and summoned Ati.

“Another one?!”

“How did those children form pacts with Pegasus at such a young age!”

Exclamations of shock burst out from everywhere.

‘I’m similar in age to you folks to be called a child though.’

Leo smiled bitterly inwardly and mounted Ati’s back, saying.

“Eliza and I will handle the sky. You guys take care of the city wall.”

“Should we follow Professor Artion’s commands?”

“Professor Artion won’t be able to.”

Leo glanced toward the rear of the city wall.

Gooooooo-!

Massive spiritual power and mana were rippling around Artion.

A mage spirit had possessed his body.

“He’s preparing one big shot.”

“Then should Dweno take command…?”

“You can do it.”

“Huh? Me?”

“Yeah, you should do it.”

“But you and Dweno are here?”

At those words, Leo smiled.

“I’ll tell you the same thing I told Ar.”

“What?”

“How long are you going to leave everything to me? Take some of this burden.”

“Haa!”

Cal let out a deep sigh.

Then he slapped his cheeks and turned around.

“Sorry, but.”

Cal smiled awkwardly.

“Can you entrust your lives to me?”

“We’ll entrust them to you.”

Duran answered without hesitation.

At those words, Cal looked slightly surprised.

“Huh? Without hesitation?”

“Leo entrusted command to you. So we should follow.”

Chelsea also shrugged her shoulders, and Driana patted Cal’s shoulder.

“I’ll gladly entrust mine to you too.”

“Ugh.”

Cal staggered from Driana’s strength.

“Well, if you mess up the command, I’ll kill you first though.”

At Chelsea’s words, Cal smiled awkwardly.

“No, that’s a bit…”

“Since we’re entrusting our lives to you, shouldn’t we hold your life as collateral too?”

Chelsea grinned, and Cal let out a hollow laugh.

That’s when it happened.

Kwagagagagagagang-!

An explosive sound echoed.

Whiiiiing-!

“It’s a magic bullet!”

“Everyone prepare!”

Seeing the massive black magic projectile flying from the Giant King’s army, screams erupted from everywhere.

“Lord Dweno! Lord Ennitha! It’s dangerous to show your faces outside!”

At the dwarf’s urgent words, Ennitha said.

“Don’t we need to take cover behind the city wall?”

“Don’t take your eyes off that sight, Ennitha.”

“Huh?”

Flash! Pazizik-!

Pure white lightning flashed as Leo appeared before the black magic projectile fired by the Giant King’s army.

Swish-!

A long gray line traced an arc from left to right.

And then…

Kwagagagagagagagagang-!

The black magic projectile exploded in mid-air, shaking the earth.

The city wall trembled.

Everyone looked at Leo’s back as he rode Pegasus.

Kiaaaaaaaaak-!

Buuuuuuu-!

When the siege weapon’s attack was rendered useless, the Giant King’s army began charging with ominous horn sounds.

Seeing this, Dweno jumped down from the city wall without hesitation.

“Dweno!”

When Ennitha called out urgently, Dweno said.

“Don’t worry! Right now the sky is reliable!”

Thud-!

Leaving those words, Dweno landed on the ground.

Gooooooo-!

Golden flame aura erupted from Dweno’s body.

Normally, he wouldn’t even dream of charging alone.

Because there would be no way back.

But not now.

Kieeeeeeek!

Thud thud thud thud-!

The Gigantes division charged at Dweno.

Kagagagak-!

Dweno scraped his axe blade on the ground and grinned fiercely.

“Well then.”

Grip-!

Dweno’s eyes flashed as he gripped battle axes in both hands.

Thwack-!

A dull sound echoed.

The waists of the Gigantes in front of Dweno were severed in half.

The massive axe blades had cut the Gigantes in two.

“The rear is reliable too. Shall I go wild to my heart’s content?”
