The World After Leaving the Hero Party

73 – that I was wrong – 2

– Woo woo woo woo!!

There was a clear crack on the black pillar that had dyed the sky black.

Death auras swayed from the pillars, which spewed low vibrating sounds as if they were about to break, and Bronze, grotesquely transformed, was attacking us as if reflecting the approaching end.

“Kieeaek!!”

Now, unable to speak properly, he made a terrible sound like a monster’s roar and swung his scythe-like arm.

The final phase of the Black Rebel boss battle, and that is also an attack towards the end.

Having already knocked down the seventh Bronze with a winding fist, I fell backwards, inhaled the magic recovery potion, and lifted the Divine Mark Veronica gave me. Like the Divine Mark used by Cardinals, it contains enormous holy power, so the power of skills that use holy power is strong.

-Chae Ae-aeeng!!

His attacks were blocked by a subtle green aura of divinity. Taking advantage of that gap, Leventia quickly jumped up and swung her sword, and the moment Bronze’s body, cut by the magical sword, turned back into darkness and returned to the pillar.

“Twilight.”

uh?

I couldn’t help but be surprised by Lucille’s brother-in-law. That’s what this is…

“The highest level of fire magic?!”

If it’s the highest level magic, it’s the magic right below the ultimate. I knew he had talent, but he could already use the highest level of fire magic?

No matter how much I share my magic power, I can’t believe I’ve already grown this far.

I’m really proud.

-Roaring…

Tiny sparks shot from Lucille’s stick. Compared to the magic she had used so far, it was a very weak flame.

But I knew exactly how powerful that flame was. That’s why I caught Leventia trying to attack the pillar.

“Ugh?”

“Get out.”

I immediately stepped back and Leventia followed me without a murmur. As soon as I fell back like that, I changed the moonlight into a staff and used all my remaining magic power to create a shield.

– Passs…

Small sparks that seemed to fly from the burning wreckage burrowed into the black pillars, which were far too large in comparison. The moment Claire saw it, she tilted her head.

-Quaaa!!!

The black pillar is engulfed in flames with a huge explosion. The heat was so intense that even though it was blocked by a protective film, the heat was transmitted from the impact.

The large, huge red flames accelerated the division of the pillars in an instant, and eventually the pillars could not withstand the flames and shattered and began to turn into gray ash.

“…Awesome.”

While resting, Claire, who was preparing for dimensional magic as if she gathered her magical energy, stared blankly at Lucille as she lowered her warrior’s sword. And so am I.

Without tidying up her red hair that flutters in the magical storm. Lucille, indifferently looking at the flames she created with her staff pointed at her.

He looked so confident that it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a full-fledged wizard.

“Master!”

everything is over Bronze too, and black traitors too.

As long as the aura of death that covered the sky has disappeared and the black pillar has completely turned to ash, this event will never start again.

I found a gem dyed black in the interior of the completely burned ashes.

It was a jewel containing the power of the demon king, an event clear item.

“…Hyeonu. That’s it.”

“Hmm…”

Like me, there was no way that Claire or Leventia didn’t know. That would be the case, too, because this was the jewel I saw when defeating the demon lord.

“That’s… what are you going to do?”

“It should be sealed in the church.”

There were quite a few places to seal the jewels. The center of the capital for each race, or the church.

Depending on where you gave this jewel after clearing the event, you could gain more friendship there.

There is no need to increase the affinity of a specific faction, so it would be better to put it in the most easy church.

“Are you fine?”

“Eh? Uh. Yes? Why me…?”

“Because you hit the last hit.”

Confused, Lucille stared at the black fragment in my hand.

What if I ask for it?

But contrary to my worries, Lucille just smiled.

“I will follow Master’s decision.”

“thank you.”

“…Rice, it’s nothing!”

Lucille shouted with all her might with a reddened face and lightly grabbed the hem of her skirt. Then he glanced at me and started muttering something in a low voice.

It was so small I couldn’t hear it.

Anyway, I’m glad the queen doesn’t say anything about returning without spoils.

Anyway, this event ended like this.

All that remains is post-processing.

“Sage! Are you okay?!”

“Princess!!”

“majesty!!”

While we were fighting Bronze, the knights who were blocking the undead flocking from the outside began to come here. Lily Knights in heavy armor. and the Knights of the Principality in bikini armor.

As they came running, I disarmed the moonlight and waved.

“…Huh? Re, Leventia-sama?!”

The knight of the Lily Knights, who was running this way, stopped in shock. What her eyes met was none other than Leventia.

The reason why they were determined after seeing Leventia, who was a hero to the knights and the object of their envy, was simple.

“…eww.”

Because of Leventia’s outfit. Leventia, who was wearing bikini armor that was better than the Knights of the Principality but was quite revealing for her, had her head bowed down with a blushing face.

“By the way, Leventia.”

“…Uh, huh?”

When I called, she raised her head. Not only the eyes, but also the healthy, muscular body was trembling unlike the previous battle.

I pointed at a nearby rock as she trembled on her long, leopard-like legs. Only then did I share my magical power with her who collapsed.

“It suits you well too, doesn’t it?”

“…that, yes…?”

It’s just what I saw.

Leventia had enough magic aptitude, so she could become stronger as she grows into a magic knight.

Of course, in order to do that, her direction itself would have to be completely changed.

From the movement in the battle earlier, to fighting using mana, to using magic on swords and armor.

Overall, the magic knight was much better suited than the general knight.

“…you were right.”

Leventia murmured softly and then looked up at me.

Her eyes were full of anticipation.

“…Me. Hyeonu… Hey.”

“why.”

“…I think it’s a bit late, but…”

Leventia swallowed her saliva. Trembling with fear, she stared at me earnestly, then got up and got down on one knee.

“…will you accept my sword?”

The meaning of a knight giving a sword. It was like entrusting everything to the other person.

“I want to live with your sword in order to reflect on the mistakes I’ve committed and to try to be forgiven for my sins… so…”

Make Leventia your subordinate. Not a bad suggestion, but not a good one either.

And if I was going to use it as a subordinate in the first place and roll it my way, I did it in the past.

I am making a name for myself as a sage. In the meantime, do you make a warrior party member your subordinate?

Of course, if I’m trying to build a force, Leventia’s joining will be of great help. Because she is a noble, and the object of envy of many knights.

But then the number of people who consider me a threat will surely increase.

And it will spawn useless enemies and will be enough of a hindrance to my achievements.

So there is no need to move inconveniently with more power than necessary.

It is much more advantageous for achievements to maintain a position that is helpful to many people, but not threatening, as it is now.

“Well. Is it really necessary?”

Leventia, who stared at me devastated by my answer, lowered her head.

Just as the brief conversation with her was about to end, I heard the sound of footsteps. It was Cecil.

Approaching Reventia, she put her cloak on Reventia’s tear-stained shoulder.

After covering herself with it, Cecile stood up and spoke to me with a grin.

“Whatever the relationship between the two is.

“Hey. Are friends like that?”

Is it because of the word friend? Leventia looked at Cecil and me with her eyes wide open as if in surprise.

why?

I’m usually the type of person who has a lot of friends, so there’s nothing strange about it, right?

“No matter how many friends, that’s that and this is this.”

“Then how about this?”

I moved closer to Cecile.

She and I are friends with the same tastes. If so, wouldn’t it be better to flirt with something related to that taste?

I looked around and pulled Cecil. And whispered to her in a low voice that was barely audible.

“I have a nice armor blueprint. Ah~ this is a really good armor.”

In order to make magic armor, witchcraft, magic, and enchantment are required. It requires considerable knowledge and skill.

As such, craftsmen who can make proper bikini armor are extremely rare.

“I’ll introduce you to a dwarf who is good at making armor with this one. It’s the level of a master. Master. How is it?

“Hoho… This looks pretty good? But this armor. Have you ever made a prototype?”

“No. But even in Dwarven City, it was rated pretty good. I designed it myself.”

“Oh~ Yeah? Then I’ll make one and test it. He’s a man who knows how to wear armor. Cole. Cole.”

As a person who knows how to wear good armor, Cecil was quite pragmatic.

No wonder.

Even if you have a jewel containing the power of the demon king, it is useless.

Even if you study this, the only thing you can get is the power of death to destroy the world.

In addition, like the black traitor, it is no different from resurrecting the demon king to give attack to those who want to benefit themselves.

Just by handing over such a troublesome potion, you get an armor blueprint that suits your taste, and you get an introduction to your craftsman?

Even if it were me, I wouldn’t have been able to stand it.

“hahaha! Friends! Our friendship forever!”

“Until tastes change! Ha ha ha!”

After all, it is easy to deal with people who can communicate. I smiled once facing Cecil and shook hands to conclude the agreement.

After waving lightly, Cecil stepped back, and I approached Lucille with the jewelry stuffed into my pocket.

“…Um. Master. What are you talking about with Prince Cecil…?”

“We talked about tastes.”

“Like… what? What…?”

“Well…”

Instead of answering, I stroked Lucille’s head.

“Now. Then, let’s start cleaning up? There must be a lot of work to do to make the Caltrend estate a royal family estate. The Lily Knights there! Don’t play around, work!”

***

Encouraging the Lily Knights, Leventia blankly watched as the sage began to clean up the surroundings and search for materials to absorb the territory. Cecile looked down at her and giggled.

Reventia, who finally came to her senses, looked at Cecile and asked with difficulty.

“Uh, how… why do you…?”

How did you become friends with Hyunwoo? Of course, I know that Hyeonu is someone who makes friends easily.

But to be friends so quickly.

Clearly, it didn’t show that way in Raidin.

Cecile giggled at Leventia, who was staring at her with a bewildered face, then spoke quite leisurely.

“Hmm? Our Leventia. Is it so strange that I became friends with the sage? To be honest, if you’re at the level of the sage, there’s enough reason to be friends, right?”

He was denied even being a friend, or even a servant to apologize to him and pay for his sins.

Soaring jealousy and self-doubt.

The stress caused by wearing this armor out of guilt towards Hyeonu.

These complex emotions were enough to leave a deep mark on Leventia’s heart.
