774.

“How about giving gifts to the Hero Candidates?”

Dawn before sunrise.

Risinass, who was sitting by the window enjoying the dawn breeze, suddenly spoke.

Though it should have been hot weather, a cold wind comparable to midwinter was blowing into the room due to Nix’s influence.

At those words, Leo made a puzzled expression.

“Suddenly?”

“Not suddenly.”

Risinass smiled faintly.

“Those children have sufficient qualifications to inherit the Great Heroes’ weapons, don’t they? They’re the successors chosen by none other than you, right? Besides, they need to prepare themselves mentally and emotionally.”

“Need to boost morale?”

“Yes.”

Risinass looked out the window.

Dawn was breaking.

“Nix will soon come with all his forces.”

That was exactly right.

In a short time, Nix and Styx had suffered fatal blows.

The ancient heroes that the Hero Candidates had defeated last night were tremendous forces in themselves.

But losing that force was only a small part.

There was only one reason Styx suffered a decisive blow.

It was the subjugation of the Sage and Saint.

Through Leo and Risinass, the Second Saint and Third Sage and Saint were subjugated.

From Tartaros’s perspective, it was massive damage equivalent to losing legion commanders.

Of course, their opponents were too formidable.

None other than the Great Heroes – the Hero of the Beginning and the King of Wisdom.

No matter how much it wasn’t their prime power, Great Heroes were still Great Heroes.

It might have been different if they hadn’t fully regained their strength.

Styx’s high-ranking Demons had encountered the worst possible enemy – Leo, who was regaining his prime power.

But regardless of the reason, from Nix and Styx’s standpoint, having lost such tremendous forces so futilely, they wouldn’t just stand by and watch anymore.

“If Nix comes leading all the Demons under his command, could we stop him?”

“Well.”

Leo stood next to the window where Risinass was sitting.

Then he chuckled while breathing in the cold dawn air.

“But I don’t think we’ll lose.”

“Hm?”

“It’s the strongest combination, isn’t it?”

“Right. It’s the strongest combination.”

Risinass burst into giggles.

Knock knock-

Just then, a knocking sound was heard.

When Leo opened the door, Chloe was standing there holding a large magic tome.

“Leo, I have something to ask you.”

“What is it.”

“Could you come to my room for a moment?”

At those words, Leo glanced back.

When Risinass sitting by the window nodded, Leo left the room.

Risinass, left alone in the room, gazed at the rising sun.

Then.

The knocking sound came again.

Risinass, knowing who was beyond the door, gestured and the door opened.

The one who opened the door and entered was none other than the Dragon Lord, Mellina.

Mellina, who greeted according to the old Dragon etiquette, approached Risinass.

“What’s the matter?”

“There’s something unusual to report. But where is Lord Leo…?”

“He stepped out for a moment. You can tell me.”

“Yes, yes!”

“Why are you so nervous?”

“How should I put it… I’m getting tense for no reason since I’m reporting to Lord Risinass.”

Watching Mellina make an embarrassed expression, Risinass burst into laughter.

“So? What’s this unusual matter?”

“Yes. There are reports of unidentified monsters appearing near Tartaros’s Eastern Front.”

“Styx’s forces.”

“Yes. I think we should prepare countermeasures.”

“Understood. I’ll inform Kail.”

“Yes!”

***

Leo, who came to Chloe’s room, let out a hollow laugh at the scene spread before his eyes.

Countless magic tomes were spread across the floor.

On a large piece of paper placed in the center, magical formulas that Chloe seemed to have organized were written.

“Sit down.”

“There’s nowhere to sit?”

“Hmm. You can sit on the bed.”

At those words, Leo approached the bed.

The bed was also occupied by magic tomes, but fortunately there was a place to sit.

Leo, who approached and sat on the bed while avoiding the spread books, looked at the large paper with magical formulas written on it.

‘Ice Clone technique.’

Though it was advanced magic difficult to use, Chloe had been using it as her specialty magic since before enrollment.

And even now as a third-year, it was one of Chloe’s greatest strengths.

Leo, who was examining the paper, muttered.

“Multi-world interpretation?”

“You recognize it as expected?”

Chloe smiled brightly and brought a stack of papers to sit next to Leo.

Creak-

“Please look at this formula interpretation. I tried interpreting it myself, but I’m wondering if this approach is correct. I wanted to hear your opinion.”

Reading through the stack of papers he received from Chloe, Leo let out an admiring “Huh.”

“Why?”

“No. I’m just newly feeling that you’re a genius.”

“Flattery won’t get you anything.”

Though Chloe spoke coyly with a “Hmph,” her cheeks turned slightly red, showing she was in a good mood.

Watching such Chloe, Leo burst into laughter and said.

“I think this approach is right too. However, this part here.”

“Yes.”

Chloe pressed close and looked at where Leo was pointing.

Her lake-blue eyes sparkled with intellectual curiosity.

“Rather than mirrors and mirrors, wouldn’t it be more fitting to see it as branches of a tree?”

“Hmm. True, we can’t consider them completely identical. If they were completely the same, it would be meaningless.”

“Right.”

“Ah, then how about this?”

Chloe excitedly engaged in magical discussion with Leo.

After having heated discussions about magical formulas for a while, Leo suddenly raised his head.

And made an expression of disbelief.

“Leo. This part here is… Hm? Why are you staring so intently…? Kyaaaaaaah?!”

When there was no answer, she looked up to see Leo, and Chloe shrieked as she threw herself into Leo’s arms.

At the same time, Chen Xia, who had been pressing her forehead against the window with a cold expression while watching the room, opened the window and came inside.

“Yes, yes. That’s enough. If you continue this inappropriate romantic interaction any further, I’ll hand you over to Selia, the disciplinary committee member.”

“It’s not inappropriate romantic interaction! This is just an academic discussion from a magical perspective…”

“Everyone starts with excuses like that. But the moment you bring the opposite sex into your room, it becomes an excuse. Besides, Chloe has a record, doesn’t she?”

“That was an accident!”

“What kind of outrageous accident is that!”

“What are you doing?”

When Leo asked, Chen Xia smiled sweetly.

“Disciplinary activities.”

“It’s not like that, so stop bothering Chloe.”

“Yes.”

Chen Xia answered obediently and took a step back.

Watching her, Leo said to Chloe.

“You’re developing this ridiculous magical theory quite well?”

“It’s still just the beginning stages though?”

At that answer, Leo chuckled and got up.

“It’s about breakfast time, so let’s go eat.”

“Okay. Go ahead with Sia. I’ll clean up my room and come.”

Leo and Chen Xia left Chloe’s room.

Left alone in her room, Chloe organized what Leo had taught her and immersed herself in magical formulas.

***

Nix’s room in the underground sanctuary.

Nix, who had been sitting on the throne with her eyes closed in a room filled with countless crystal-like ice, opened her eyes.

What an evil god dreams of is a perfect world.

To fall into the eternal slumber of death along with that perfect world.

That was Nix’s desire.

And she had found someone most suitable for that perfect world.

“Hero of the Beginning, Kail… No, Leo Flobe.”

Living in the same era as him was like good fortune for Nix, who desired a perfect world.

Nix rose from her throne.

The goddess of death moved her steps and stood before a massive ice.

Nix, who had been looking at countless reflections of herself in the ice, opened her mouth.

“What I need is the body of a perfect hero.”

What Nix wanted was a world that died in perfect form.

“I don’t need the soul.”

Nix, who had caressed herself in the ice, curled up the corners of her mouth.

In her hand was a fragment of the Hero Record.

Soon, Nix disappeared.

***

The atmosphere in Deang was generally ominous.

The attack by the ancient heroes that had occurred previously.

After their attack, to restore order, the hero candidates came out to Deang after breakfast to help people.

They cleared the debris that had become ruins and worked hard to maintain security in case of any unforeseen events.

Meanwhile, Leo used the shadows to check the First Princess’s movements.

The moment he learned she had joined hands with Styx, he couldn’t just leave her alone.

‘That said, I can’t side with the Second Prince either.’

Leo clicked his tongue while clearing debris.

In Leo’s view, both the First Princess and Second Prince of this country were equally incompetent.

Dealing with the First Princess was one thing, but it would be difficult to readily entrust the large country of Deviange to the Second Prince.

‘Isn’t there a decent person among the collateral royal family? Hmm… Would this be considered interference in internal affairs?’

Leo, who had been thinking various thoughts, suddenly realized he was alone in the middle of the ruins.

“…”

His red eyes looking straight ahead narrowed.

What was before his eyes was a woman with beautiful features.

“How should I put it. Fascinating.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m newly realizing that there are different types of stench.”

“Stench… Treating me the same as the Calamity Forces personally hurts my feelings.”

Shing-!

Leo drew his sword and pointed it at Nix.

“You came faster than expected.”

“Fate usually strikes when you least expect it.”

Whoooosh-!

Gray mana flowed from Leo’s body.

Watching such Leo, Nix said.

“Hero of the Beginning, I didn’t come to fight you.”

“I don’t have any choice other than fighting you though?”

“If you listen to what I have to say, you might change your mind?”

Nix smiled sweetly.

“I need you. Leo Flobe.”

“For that to work, I’ve lost too much up until now though?”

Watching Leo emit terrible killing intent, Nix spread her palm.

“Yes. I know.”

‘…Hero Record?’

“What you’ve lost… And what you’ve shouldered… What feelings you’re living this moment with.”

Nix smiled sweetly.

“I’ve seen it all. This is your final chapter.”

Final chapter.

The moment the world would be saved and the page where Hero of the Beginning Kail would ultimately lose everything.

“Leo Flobe. I’ll give you the entire world.”

“Sorry, but I’m not interested in that.”

Leo sneered.

Watching such Leo, Nix shook her head.

“I don’t simply mean I’ll give you the entire world.”

“What?”

Flutter-

The Hero Record in Nix’s palm was blown by the wind and flew toward Leo.

Flutter- Catch-!

Leo snatched the Hero Record.

“I’ll send you to the world you should have rightfully enjoyed.”

Leo gripped his sword properly with an expressionless face.

‘I don’t know what scheme this is, but there’s only one thing to do.’

Subjugation.

Just as Leo bent his stance.

Crackle-

The Hero Record fragment Leo was holding began transforming into an ice wall.

Leo glared at his Hero Record that had transformed into a person-sized ice wall.

That ice wall was reflecting the world’s appearance like a mirror.

But strangely, Leo’s figure was not reflected in the ice mirror.

Of course, Leo didn’t mind and cut through the ice.

No, he tried to cut it.

Crack-!

The moment his sword touched the ice.

His knees buckled.

Leo’s face hardened.

‘No.’

Leo, who was sucked into the mirror, looked at his own body.

Time in his world outside the mirror seemed to have stopped.

‘What is this…?’

As if swept away by rapids.

Leo’s consciousness was flung somewhere inside the mirror.

Thud-!

Nix turned around, looking at the fallen Leo.

“I’m curious. Which world you’ll choose.”

Step- Step-

“Though the answer is already decided, of course.”
