I'm Actually Not Overpowered!

I am Adu the Malevolent! I have killed countless souls, and several beings quake at the sound of my name! I can't die like this! No way!" His squealing was pathetic, and his voice lacked strength.

Once again, my blade cut through more of his flesh.

"Y-you! Just... just who do you think you are!!!"

After taking a deep breath and pouring all my strength into my muscles, I gave a fiendish smile.

"I am The Hero!"

Adu's eyes widened in disbelief, and his expression displayed a hidden fear at the mention of that word.

"W-wha—?"

Before he could say any more, I completely sliced through him, sending blood spurting out as my energy danced around me.

"Haaa... the work is done." I felt the tense energy in my body disperse.

Falling to the ground, I smiled while heaving a great sigh.

"I won."

Now looking at the devastated environment, and at the corpse of the Demon General, I felt a huge sense of achievement.

It wasn't easy.

It was definitely the most difficult fight I had ever undertaken since I came to this world.

Still, I won! "But... now that it is over... how will I get back?"

All that surrounded me was a vast wilderness. The City Of Dulum was a hundred kilometers away.

Even at full speed, it would still take some time to get there.

"Ah, shit... what am I going to do now?"

"Haa... what is this feeling?" My body felt stronger, and I became chock full of energy.

"A-ah...??"

My eyes bulged as I realized... just how powerful I had become due to a single match.

"Fuck..." Tears of joy welled up in my eyes as I trembled in delight.

My body was instantly overwhelmed with power, and I felt the burning sensation permeating my body.

"Haaa..." Rising to my feet, and then beyond the ground I felt myself lift up to the sky.

'Thankfully, my Golems have a connection to me, so I can trace their Magic signature...' I smiled to myself, feeling the breeze brush my face from my elevated height.

'W-what?!" My eyes widened at the realization.

All my Golems were dead. Even though I could sense the general location or direction, it remained an undeniable fact that they had been destroyed.

I better hurry! Damnit!"

>WHOOOOOSSSSHHHH!!!<

In a flash, I abandoned the battle scene—but not until I took Adu into my Inventory. demon corpses could be useful.

"Wait for me, everyone... I'm coming!!!"

The trip took quite a number of minutes, during which I brainstormed what route I would take in order to save everyone.

The Golems being destroyed didn't mean all hope was lost. No, it was quite the opposite.

If the Golems were used as vanguards, it was evident that they would be the first ones to go. In that vein, it made sense that they were already destroyed. That didn't mean my allies had died.

Besides, the System didn't tell me I had failed my Quest. That meant everyone was safe!

Of course, there was the possibility that I simply finished off the Demon General before my allies were snuffed out, but I shoved that unwelcome thought out of my head.

I was certain they were holding down the fort and expecting my return.

'That means I have to hurry!' With that thought in mind, I increased my speed and charged for Dulum.

However...

"N-no. No way...'... Even from a distance, I could see the despairing sight that awaited me.

"No, I refuse to believe this." I watched the ascending smoke and devastated city.

'No, hold on...' I unconsciously found myself speeding beyond my limits.

Like a rocket, I charged at the center of the devastated city.

'There's no way this is Dulum, right? RIGHT??!'

Upon landing on the heap of ash and smoke, I was able to confirm for myself.

The buildings were devastated beyond repair, and the streets were riddled with blood and death, but... I couldn't deny it.

"I-It really is..." My eyes widened as I took in the destruction and carnage.

"... Dulum."
