Chapter 129. Towards Dreams and Hope!But there was a huge difference between our skills. How can a famous S-rank Hero be on par with an unnamed mage?

I don’t even have to fight.

The Spirit of Fire artificially detonated the magician’s fireball in the air, and the Spirit of Water extinguished it to avoid victims.

The smoky elf mage was about to flee. But the Spirit of the Wind knocked her down with a strong gust, and the Spirit of the Earth buried her hands and feet in the ground.

The Spirit of Ether was the last to enter the battle.

He clouded the mind of the elf mage.

– Kyayaya ?!

The elf who screamed in horror could no longer use magic.

I easily jumped off the 2nd floor of the hotel room. Spreading the wings of a just Hero, I landed in front of the elf.

– I wanted to ask you something.

– Hmph! You think I’ll just tell you everything …

– You don’t have to continue.

– Eh? ..

– I have accumulated stress due to recent events. Not every time there is a chance for legal self-defense. The just Hero, who was suddenly attacked, wanted to settle everything peacefully, but the evil elf refused, so there was no other way out …

I grabbed the elf and covered her mouth with my hand.

– Umm ?!

– Miss elf. I wanted to settle everything peacefully. It was you who refused. I speak right away.

– Ugh ?!

Grabbing Magician E, I went back to the room.

Oblivion High Dragon Noebius gave me a spank, Ssukttok’s upbringing was too slow. And on top of that, I had to restrain myself so as not to break the neck of the imperial princess.

Suffering alone!

Because of this, I have accumulated tremendous stress.

– What wonderful weather today!

But now I was awake.

Thanks to the elf who agreed to cooperate with the noble Hero.

This elf also kindly shared not only important information, but also experience points. How can you hate her?

So I calmly decided to hide it in my heart.

– This is shocking … – Healer E. muttered.

– So it is. Shocking, isn’t it. I, too, could only laugh when, after 10 years of my hard work, my companions decided to betray me.

As I recall the 1st playthrough, anger immediately creeps in.

My companions have always only interfered and performed hypocritical acts. I really suffered while correcting the evil that they had done.

But they repaid me with betrayal!

They entered into a conspiracy and decided to deal with me after I deal with the Demon Lord.

Healer E, as if correcting me, replied:

– No. It’s shocking that you are a Hero.

– Why?

“Well… um… I didn’t live as long as the Fire Knight, but I’ve seen many Heroes in my life. I see someone like you for the first time.

– That’s how it is.

Where else can you find an S-rank Hero who knocked down the Demon Lord just one day after being summoned?

As we suspected, the Fire Knight was a traitor.

She planned to return to Elfheim, having dealt with all her colleagues who knew the truth.

The Queen was kidnapped by demons, so the only thing left to do was to deal with the Five Knights, and then no one would know the truth.

– But the Hero. Are you really going to go there?

– Of course.

We quickly made our way to the place the Fire Knight had pointed out to us. Through the Magic Circle of Spatial Transfer.

In this world, the title “Hero Chosen by God of the Fantasy World” did little. You can not rely on the help of local residents, because all they have in mind is how to exploit the Hero.

But if you have money, everything changes immediately.

Residents of cities and villages immediately become friendly, and the manner of speech of beautiful girls becomes softer.

The same happens when you cross the border.

If you give a patrolman some money for a drink, then he will believe that he is a Hero, even if he is not shown the Holy Sword.

– Troooooog ?!

– Troooooom ?!

– Throooooh ?!

As we walked, we encountered brown trolls.

Their faces showed that they were extremely hungry. But they decided to run away as soon as they saw my smile.

This is an insult to the smiling Hero!

▷ Race: Forest Troll

▷ Level: 247

▷ Specialization: Rogue (Weak Man → Luck!)

▷ Skills: Fortitude (D), Tracking (E), Run (D), Heart (D), Luck (F)

▷ Condition: Fear, Hunger

They were slightly stronger than normal trolls, whose level averaged around 150.

And there were three of them.

A beginner would not have done it.

But everything is relative.

– Trook ?!

– Troooooooo ?!

– Troooof!

This time the Spirits dealt with them themselves.

As soon as the Spirits dwelling in my armpits and between my legs, lean out and give the order, as ordinary spirits hovering around, immediately get down to business.

And while the Spirits are considered innocent?

Still, the inhabitants of the fantasy world have a wild way of thinking.

Anyway…

We were on our way to the Holy Kingdom bordering the Sea Kingdom.

In the central continent, this country had the most heroes.

Unlike the Holy Empire, which was known in the central continent for its large territory and military power that deified the emperor, the Holy Kingdom worshiped the God of the fantasy world and was a religious state.

It is from there that Saint A and the mermaid Aqua come from.

– Are we exactly here? Healer E asked cautiously, becoming obedient after I delivered her from the demon curse.

I could only say one thing.

– Is there something you don’t like?

“N-no, nothing …

Although I gagged Healer E, I was also annoyed.

I realized that the place the Fire Knight said was one of the dungeons I had been to before.

During the 1st playthrough, I visited the Holy Kingdom and, at the request of Saint A, explored this dungeon.

I didn’t know there was a secret passage.

If there was a simple treasure chest, I would be okay with it.

However …

– A device that transports to Earth …

That’s what the Fire Knight said.

There is mechanical equipment in the place where the escape scroll was moved.

It would seem where in the fantasy world mechanical equipment can come from, but in the northern continent they somehow made a super robot.

And not only they are so skilled.

Dwarves from the southern continent, home of magical engineering, have the best technology in all of Fantasy.

So anything is possible.

One of the older Heroes could get bored of the Motherland and create a device that embodies the magic of transfer between dimensions.

I don’t know if he managed to return to his homeland. But maybe I’ll find out when I get there.

“I don’t understand,” Healer E., who followed me, broke the silence.

“What?

– The Kingdom of Elfheim is in the west of the continent, and the Holy Kingdom is in the east. Between them is a land of people and a lake where mermaids live, so it’s difficult to get there. Why did the queen choose such a place to escape? Besides, there is also a dungeon …

– Later, ask her yourself, – I shrugged my shoulders and walked on.

You can ask her when I go to the Demon Lord’s fortress. I don’t want to waste time on unnecessary guesses.

The dungeon we are going to is located in the very center of the forest, known in the Holy Kingdom for being full of monsters.

If you look from afar, it will seem that there is only a white stone, but if you look closely, you can understand that this is a temple buried in the ground due to a landslide or earthquake.

There are two ways to enter this dungeon.

Dig at random to find a normal entrance, or, using the clock tower peeping out of the ground, go down there like chimney sweeps.

I chose the second one.

– Healer E, have you really never been here?

– Yes, this is my first time here.

A little suspicious, but I don’t think she’s lying. Because Healer E has no need to lie.

– Follow me.

In the 1st ascent, I went down the rope.

But now I have the wings of a just Hero, thanks to which I descended without even lifting a finger.

– How can I get down? – asked the stupid question Healer E, being at the top of the clock tower.

“This is your problem, so why are you asking me?

“Um… I thought you would take me in your arms and we would go down together.

– It seems to me that our relationship is not so close.

More precisely, we have a relationship like between a master and a slave.

– Sorry. I must have confused something.

– Well, but now you know.

After I landed, Healer E jumped down from the tower without a rope.

But it didn’t crash.

One of the features of the elves is light weight, thanks to which Healer E zigzagging on the walls of the tower, went down. Such mastery is possible thanks to the body above level 999.

I clicked, looking at the calm Healer E.

Not because I did not like her decision, but because I remembered how hard I was descending the rope in the 1st playthrough.

►Prospection: Doesn’t that show how much stronger you have become, Kang Han Soo?

Wow, Miss Trainee, here you are. Curious too?

► Nonsense: I just do what I have to, as a trainee. And not because I’m interested in the device with which it will be possible to return to Earth without the help of the God of the fantasy world.

Well, so be it.

I brushed off cobwebs and dust from my clothes.

If tomb robbers and adventurers hadn’t come here, it would have been full of cobwebs and dust, but thanks to them, the clothes did not get very dirty.

– Hero. Isn’t it dark for you?

– I do not care.

Even without the help of the Sight and Secret Murder skills, I could see well in the dark.

Thanks to his race “Natural Man”.

Receiving the protection of nature, I see this world in a different way. I do not look at things with my eyes and with the help of the information received, but I distinguish objects by whether they are filled with nature or not.

– Oh … Apparently it only worries me. I will light a fire.

Healer E used the Spirit of Fire.

A girl with hair burning like a torch appeared and swirled around me, not Healer E.

– Hmm … I’m too popular …

– Huh ?! My friendliness with perfume is dropping! – Healer E screamed in horror when the Spirit of Fire left her.

– Hush. This is a dungeon.

“I-sorry…

We were moving forward quickly.

You have to be careful not to step on the trap, but I’ve already been here, so it’s nothing to me.

Bloody Lanuvel.

I remembered how much I suffered because she deliberately stepped on the traps.

Healer E whispered:

“You seem to have been here before. You step forward without fear of anything.

– I was. Somewhere 20 years ago. Or 22 years ago?

I no longer remembered how many years I traveled where.

But I remembered exactly the structure of the dungeon.

And soon …

– Guoooo …

– Guoooo …

There were voices causing shivers.

And in the darkness, eyes appeared, glowing green, like wandering lights.

In the 1st playthrough, this also happened around here.

It’s time to appear to the fools who have fallen into the traps of the dungeon.

▷ Race: Ghoul

▷ Level: 475

▷ Specialization: Hero (Experience 200%)

▷ Skills: Composure (A), Steadfastness (A), Indestructible Body (B), Javelin Throw (B), Roar (B) …

▷ Condition: Hunger, Void

No matter how high their level was, the trapped adventurers died of hunger. And then they wandered around here, trying to turn the rest of the losers into the same monsters.

“Hmm… I came early.

Before me appeared the beautiful face of the ghoul, which I had seen for the first time.

With level 475! If we met in my 1st playthrough, it would be a tough fight.

But before 25 years of experience, this is nothing.

Cut it in and out.

And after a while we arrived at our destination. If you walk a little more, you will find yourself in the center, where the treasury is located, but I was not interested in this antique.

There was a trap in the form of a deep pit, at the bottom of which there were steel spikes.

Who knew there was a secret passage in such a place?

“That’s why dungeons are interesting.

Clinging to the wall with my wings and going down, I smiled.

It’s easy to miss in such a place, but there was indeed the passage that the Fire Knight spoke of.

Knock Knock ~

For the first time in a long time, my heart pounded.

A dungeon that a Hero with 25 years of experience didn’t know about?

I had a premonition that my dreams and hopes would come true here.
