I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

60 – The great sage beaten like a dog

“Holy shield, protect us!!”

Minerva spread the barrier just before the energy bomb exploded to protect Carlos and herself.

Truly a great sage… should I say

Surrounding buildings collapsed, but no casualties were prevented.

Well, to be honest, I didn’t even put my heart into the energy bullet I threw at Carlos, who didn’t have much magical power.

Even if it was blocked by the great sage, there was nothing surprising.

That guy is the strongest candidate among humans, so what?

“Fa, Faust, you… !!! Hey, you’ve fallen into a complete demon in gear. Seriously, with the Four Heavenly Kings… Have you made an alliance?”

“Thanks to.”

Actually, technically speaking, they weren’t allies, but Minerva’s outraged expression was so funny that I roughly matched the rhythm.

—I just flew in after the noisy place with the most humans, and at first glance, it seems that some kind of festival was being held.

I also enjoyed the play in which Alice, Tiffania, and Carlos performed passionately.

It’s just such a childish thing for those guys to think about. But you’ll have to pay the price.

“Strange. I can’t see the sages.”

Gerena said while looking around as if she was detecting someone with strong magical power.

“Hey Faust, I can feel strong energy from the east, west, south and north. It seems that wise men are dividing the area and guarding it. Now is your chance to defeat them individually. The Four Heavenly Kings will go to catch the wise man. how?”

“That’s not bad either. Leave this to me and Misha.”

“Are you okay? Don’t die, partner.”

“yes.”

Confirming that I raised my thumb, Gerena and the Four Heavenly Kings scattered in all directions.

Each of them must have been flying towards the sage they had marked.

Here are Minerva, Carlos, Alice, Tiffania… is it about

There seems to be no Helen Walker or Arwen.

This is enough for both Misha and me.

“Let’s go down, Misha.”

“Yes! master!”

We dismounted from the dragon (an ordinary dragon with no intellect who was a subordinate of the Celestial Dragon King and later defected to me) and landed on the ground.

My energy bullet didn’t kill anyone, but it succeeded in blowing away the artifacts and making it a comfortable plain for us to stand on.

It was a perfect scene, except for the fact that I was a little concerned that Misha, who can do jumping from a hundred meters in the air without any problems, dares to come down with me with her arms crossed.

“It’s been a while, Minerva. Has it been about a month or two since you banished me to the Demon Continent? I don’t know how you’ve been doing.”

“How could I have been well! How can you say such a thing when you remember the terrible things you did to us?”

“ha ha ha. From now on, such a cheesy sound. All we have left is a contest of strength to see which one will perish. Please stop admonishing me any more.”

“Yes, that is correct. It seems that this Minerva was able to take it easy by defeating the Four Heavenly Kings she had brought with her. I will show you that I did not receive the title of great sage through my form.”

“—Leave this to Mischa, Master. I’m going to beat that cheeky little girl until she says please stop.”

At that time, Misha suddenly blocked my way with a curious expression.

She seemed to carry on the guilt of not stopping Minerva in the old plaza.

“Whoops… The current Misha is stronger than before. To Misha, who is gradually regaining her prime, the odds of someone like you winning are zero. The crime of making you look rude in front of your master is to pay for it here and now.”

“Like a wicked elf. I also thought you should be eliminated. Faust alone could not have done such a great thing. It means that you are the culprit behind all the incidents. If a guy like you is left alive, he’ll be a permanent threat to humanity. I will kill you on the honor of Minerva.”

“If you can, do it. Misha will never lose in front of her master again.”

I took a step back and watched the fight between Misha and the great sage.

There was no reason to stop Misha actively, and it was because I was curious about who would win if the two of them fought.

My guess is that Missha has a 6 to 4 advantage.

Misha got enough rest on the Demon Continent and regained quite a bit of her past powers.

It is said that she is still far short of her prime, so it makes me wonder how strong she was when she led the elves as a queen and caused a great war.

On the other hand, since the great sage had already reached the upper limit of his growth as a mage, there was no way he could have grown rapidly in just two months. At most, it was time to learn at least one new spell.

That’s why, thinking that Misha would win, I was appreciating the distance between the two of them as a spectator.

Soon, a fierce battle will begin.

It seems that Misha’s side is going to attack first. No, is Minerva inducing the attack?

“No Faust!!! Minerva was honing her trump magic to defeat you!!”

Just when I was distracted by the intriguing battle, I heard a familiar voice from somewhere.

I looked around and found Beatrice tied to a pole.

I don’t know why he’s tied up there, but in a very urgent voice, he started leaking information that is advantageous to us.

“It is a special magic that seals targets that come within a certain distance into outer space for a thousand years! Even if you are stronger, there is nothing you can do about being sealed! Fight at a distance!”

“Be, Beatrice!! You really want to stand on the side of the demons! Why are you saying that!!”

Whoa, that was it.

It seemed like he was aiming for something.

If so, you can’t put Misha first. Because I know the magic that can destroy Minerva’s plan at once.

“Move aside, Misha. I fight.”

“Now, wait a minute, Master! Misha will take responsibility and defeat the master’s enemies!”

“Don’t make me say it twice. Or did you hate listening to my orders?”

“!!That, it can’t be. Misha will forever follow her master… Umm… Oh, I see, master. Misha will step back. Don’t be angry… ”

Have you glared at me too much? Misha lowered her head with a frightened expression.

But this guy, if I don’t say it so strongly, it’s obvious that he’ll be stubborn again.

“Faust, will you fight for me? That’s good too. If I can get rid of you, the greatest threat to mankind, with my own hands, I will be the most praised among the greatest sages of all time.”

“Hmm… ”

Minerva energizes her staff and waits for me to come closer.

If you come within range, you must be planning to use sealing magic right away.

Great Sage Minerva Old Book.

A true superstar that everyone has heard of, even those who are not interested in magic.

There is even a saying, “I don’t know what a wizard is, but Minerva knows”, so the people’s expectations for Minerva, who was facing Faust alone, were strong.

“Hey, do your best, Miss Minerva!”

“Great sage! Please defeat the devil!”

“If you kill Faust here, mankind wins!”

“If it’s the great sage, it’s possible!”

“Minerva-sama is the strongest wizard in the world!!”

Indeed, the voices of support are hot.

Is it because of the trust in Minerva that people are guarding the seats without running away despite the appearance of a dragon in the sky?

Hearing the cheers of the people eagerly wishing for his death, Faust calmed down.

In his eyes, Minerva was casting a special move, Beatrice was tied to a pole and screaming loudly, Alice and Tiffania were hiding in a corner and shivering, and finally Carlos, who passed out sprawled out, was reflected in succession.

How much did you expect to see them reunite?

Faust moved forward without hesitation, and at last came within range of Minerva.

“Sail the uninhabited universe alone forever! Forbidden magic, 『Luminus』!!”

Hmmm, Luminous.

Indeed, this is the first magic I have ever heard of.

“Luminous? what is it?”

Even Misha didn’t notice. You did a good job of pulling it back, too.

Even if he’s a bit of an idiot, he’ll get bored if Misha flies to another universe.

“… what? Lou, Luminous! Luminous!!”

It was good that I came out.

If it were me, there would be a way to counter this magic.

It was pitiful to see Minerva wielding her staff recklessly like a novice wizard.

“Well, something Faust. You… What trick did you use?”

“Don’t tell me simply. Now your mana and mine are zero. It means that it is luminous and cannot be used with any kind of magic.”

“what… ?”

“It is one of the seven forbidden magics possessed by the Demon King. Well, anyway, I can’t use magic either, so it’s fair in my own way.”

“Devil… That’s right, Faust. stand, please… ”

“Mana” is life energy.

It is a key material in this world that can be sublimated into an all-purpose tool depending on the user’s ability.

Once you master the use of mana, you get used to the habit of solving everything with mana.

For example, rather than training the body, it is the common sense of wizards to increase attack and defense by strengthening the mana around the body.

So, the physical abilities of most magicians can be seen as similar to those of ordinary people who lack exercise.

In the case of Minerva Old Book, she just had the strength of a normal girl.

And I am an adult male trained in martial arts.

“Let’s fight fair and square, Minerva. Because the people are praying for your victory.”

“No wait… Are you going to have a fist fight? I’ve never hit anyone with my fist in my entire life—poof!!”

“Then I will tell you what. That’s what I just said “uppercut.”

“right… ugh… ”

A right uppercut landed right in the belly button.

I felt my ribs crack.

Minerva grabbed the boat and began to roll over.

It must be the first severe pain that the great sage, who was protected by mana from birth, experienced.

“Ahhh!! it hurts!! aaa!! It hurts!!! Sue, I can’t breathe!!”

“Originally, that’s what happens when you get hit by a boat.”

Without giving me a break, I immediately swung a hook with my left hand and punched Minerva.

“aaa!!!!”

A molar protruded from the mouth.

Then he grabbed Minerva by the neck and lifted her up.

“town!! Eupup!!!”

He was thrown to the ground and stepped on with his foot.

“Cool! Cool! stop… Stop Faust… ”

Kick the tailbone with a low kick,

“Ahh!! ass!! Aww!!! aww!! It feels like I am on fire!!”

I broke my nose bone with a knee kick

“Ooooh… My nose, my nose smells like iron… ”

Finally, he grabbed Minerva by the hair and dragged her around.

Like a victorious general boasting of his spoils, he deliberately let people see Minerva’s face.

“Huh… ugh… that stop… stop… please… please stop… I lost… I lost, so please stop… ”

Perhaps the spectacle of shame play was decisive, and pleas to admit defeat began to emerge from Minerva’s lips.

Tears like chicken droppings run down your cheeks from your nosebleed face.

However, there is no room for sympathy.

Rather, revenge has only just begun.

“Then kneel down and formally declare humanity’s defeat, Minerva.”
