Chapter 426 - [33rd Round] Qualities of a Hero
“If you really have the talent of a Hero, you’ll be able to defeat that horse with ease.”
“How can you call that a horse?! Even you’re no match against him! Just look at his level!” My junior imdiately protested after checking Red Dragon King Lolicoste’s stats, her face filled with contempt.
Why?
? Race: Red Dragonian
?Level: 15308
?Job: Tyrant (Violence = Domination↑)
?Skill: Magic ZZZ, Violence ZZ, Mana ZZ, Demonic ZZ, Domination Z…
?Status: Transformation, Sickness, Fracture, Fear
“Isn’t he dangerous enough for to get killed if I so much as touched him?”
He looked fine on the outside, but due to his herniated lumbar and cervical discs, his combat power dropped by 99.999%.
I wasn’t blindly throwing her to certain death!
I hoped she wouldn’t misunderstand .
“Please save , Cute Emperor!”
“Hey! Why are you treating like a murderer? I haven’t even hurt you yet!”
“But aren’t you going to kill soon?!”
He was so confident when it ca to kidnapping pretty girls.
Yet right now, he was looking pretty weak.
Arrogant against the weak and spineless against the strong.
It was common in any world.
I didn’t an to criticize him. There was no honor in being killed, even if it was by a powerful being.
He was like my colleagues during my first round.
“Let’s not worry about trivial matters, shall we?”
“Ugh…”
“Why do I even need to do this…”
The Righteous Forr Hero created the desired picture by gently coercing the disgruntled dragon king and human.
Red Dragon King vs. Hero
True Heroes always had a history of killing at least one or two evil lizards.
“Please give a swift death, pretty lady…”
“Please save …”
Despite lacking the motivation to fight, my junior rushed in with a branch.
She displayed extrely poor movent.
Forget dragons. She’d have trouble defeating goblins.
Flash.
Noticing her weakness, Lolicoste imdiately revealed his true nature.
Though he was just trembling, his eyes changed in an instant as he cast his favorite propriety magic.
“Mollan?”
“Mollan?!”
“Mollan!”
Mollan slis poured out of his pockets.
He used to summon a large number of slis using spatial transference magic in the past, but since my Providence cut off the powers of ti and space, he had been using a shortcut.
Compression.
One could argue that it was still magic that manipulated space, but if I interfered even in such trivial factors, there would no longer be any magic allowed in Fantasy.
“Huh? Oh god!”
Confused by the sudden ergence of nurous slis, my junior stopped montarily, only to realize her worries were all for naught.
“Mollan mollan~”
“Mollan~”
The slis, which were the sa ones used for sli toilets, stripped her thoroughly.
They left not even a single thread on her.
“Their training went well.”
Their kind normally lted even their target’s body, but the ones he released were quite clever.
They even seed capable of differentiating the different types of hair while giving her hair removal treatnt.
“Haha! Any woman caught by the slis I raised myself would imdiately feel weirded out and uncomfortable, no matter how arrogant they are.”
“Ahhh!”
“Emperor! I don’t have any particular interest or resentnt in this average-looking lady, but I have no choice but to make her feel strange and demoralize her!”
“This little boy—”
“My na is not Little Boy. I am the Red Dragon King Lacoste. All stories about beautiful princesses being kidnapped have my na on them. That’s why I am the most famous of all dragons.”
The victor seed to have been decided.
If my junior had succeeded in approaching him, she could’ve won, but she was now buried in mollan slis.
At that mont…
“What’s wrong with how I look, you perverted little boy?!”
Enraged by his remarks, she grabbed a stone that had fallen near her and threw it with all her might.
Tok!
It successfully reached its target, partly because he didn’t feel the need to avoid it. Still, her accuracy was quite amazing, considering she was in the midst of a frenzy and was stuck under multiple slis.
“What made you think such a feeble attack will work against ? Pathetic!”
“Ugh!”
“Hahaha! Haha— Cough?!”
Laughing so hard that his back arched and tilted, he collapsed and seemingly suffered from seizures.
With his spine in an extrely precarious condition, he essentially brought about his own demise by cackling too much.
“Why don’t you smile again for , you perverted kid?”
“Co on, wait—!”
What? I can’t hear you properly.”
The mollan slis attached to her skin moved along with her, almost as if they had beco her new clothes.
She then placed her right foot on her opponent’s back, who was trying to crawl away from her.
“I was kidding! You’re extrely pretty. There’s no one more beautiful than you are. Please forgive … Aaaaagghhhh?!”
“Shut up.”
She stomped on him with her heel.
In an instant, their situations had been reversed.
The stupid lizard injuring himself by laughing was beyond my expectations, but my junior won regardless.
“Wow…”
There was no way their positions could be overturned again. After all, though he had the nasty hobby of kidnapping beautiful ladies, the Red Dragon King had a self-enforced iron rule to never hurt won.
Even if it ant death.
If it weren’t for that, he could have burned or frozen my junior in no ti at all with his ZZ-rank Magic.
“…”
“Huh? You’re kidding, right? You didn’t die just because I stepped on your back, did you?”
“…”
“Nonsense…” She muttered in disbelief as she stared at the heinous dragon she just subdued.
Since she was still new to this world, evidenced by her level still being 1, this was probably her first ‘murder’ experience.
It was probably quite shocking for her.
I was like that at first, too.
“Great job.”
Approaching her, I praised her with sincerity.
“What are you talking about?”
“You could’ve restrained him more easily if you targeted the space between his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, but attacking him between his 3rd and 4th isn’t that bad either.”
“Lumbar?”
“The spine in the lower back. Didn’t you learn about it in school?”
“That’s not what I ant… I just didn’t expect to hear that word here. No, more importantly, is this kid really dead?”
“Look at your level.”
“… Oh!”
? Race: Elite Human
? Level: 3071
? Job: Hero (200% Experience)
?Skills: Sadism S, Physics S, Interpretation A, Charm B, Stamina C…
?Status: Shocked, Mollan
If my junior’s job offered a 500% increase in experience gain, her level would’ve jumped higher, but one shouldn’t be greedy from the first sip.
Still, based on the first grade’s standards, her level was already quite high.
“Hmm. I didn’t expect this either.”
If she didn’t step on his back, he wouldn’t have died in vain.
Should I consider this a draw?
I didn’t think Lolicoste would self-destruct by laughing, but I still had to acknowledge my junior’s tenacity for enduring through it all.
ã??A certain righteous divine being highly appreciates soone.ã??
ã??A certain god agrees.ã??
ã??A certain obscene angel shows interest.ã??
ã??A certain god demands an encore.ã??
“… You did a good job.”
A couple of deities serving as passionate teachers in the Fantasy Institution began to show interest in my junior.
I didn’t know whether to consider this good or bad luck.
“Is he faking it?”
“Put on so clothes first.”
“Oh?!”
Finally realizing she was still naked, she hastily took and wore the outfit Lolicoste left behind when his corpse turned into dust and scattered back into nature since we had no spare clothes.
It was tight around her chest and hips since it was tailored according to his physique, but she still wore it without hesitation, deciding it was better than being naked.
It also ca with a bonus anyway.
“Mollan~”
“Mollan mollan~”
The mollan slis the Red Dragon King raised as a hobby quietly bounced back into the pockets of his clothes which my junior now owned.
They were strong enough not to be ignored.
? Race: Genius Sli
? Level: 1540
? Job: Assassin (Night → Burrow↑)
? Skills: Massage SS, Undressing S, Latent A, Compression A, Corrosion A…
?Status: Compressed, Latent
Based on the 1st grade’s standards, they were apex predators.
They were a much more powerful weapon than the Holy Swords, given to those who could pass any of the Saintesses’ trials.
Moreover, they were capable of giving massages.
I was well aware of how important that was in relieving fatigue, considering I used to receive it from Hippolia every day when I was still active.
“My body’s so light I feel like I can fly, senior.”
“That’s because your level has risen.”
She went from level 1 to level 3000 in an instant.
It was only natural for her to feel trendous changes in her physique.
“This is making feel like I’m involved in sothing outrageous.”
“That’s just you. Anyway, always rember that the Hero Support Center will replace your mollanphone if you lose or break it for a price.”
“It’s extrely durable and sturdy, though.”
“Of course. It’s made with materials that would remain unscathed even if a dragon were to step on it.”
Strictly speaking, it was ‘indestructible.’
So used this as a substitute for a shield, but only a few could accomplish such a feat since the area it could block was fairly small.
“I’m a little… confused.”
“Why?”
“I was going to return to my ho planet quickly, but I’ve grown quite interested in this world, making decide to postpone it.”
“Do you feel anything weird in your body?”
“Definitely not!”
“You don’t have to be so shy. Even the second most beautiful devil and angel in the world are strange.”
“Are you talking about your ‘cowardly’ wife, whom you spoke of last night?”
“One is my wife, and the other is a distant relative.”
The second angel, Umamiel, was Parmael’s real daughter.
According to our genealogy, she was my relative.
“How long do you plan on following anyway?”
“I’ll leave as soon as I’ve confird you really have the qualities of a Hero. Let tell you this in advance: I am a married man with three wives. Don’t even think about trying to seduce .”
“You’re too proud of yourself, senior.”
“I’m not praising myself. It’s not my fault I’m objectively handso.”
“This world’s aesthetic standards are just bizarre! Any sane being would’ve mistaken you for a bandit boss like I did when we first t.”
“Sigh… Follow .”
“Where are you going to take this ti?”
“I think you’re making a huge error. I’ll show you the real bandit boss.”
“Do I really have to see them?”
“Yes. Unless you do, you’ll be no more than a living corpse, obsessed with prejudice and obsession until the day you die. You’re still young, but you’ve already—”
“Just go already!”
The group of heroes who defeated the Red Dragon King Lolicoste moved to the Eastern Continent.
To pay a visit to the Bandit King’s den.
*****
I wanted to use the Righteous Hero’s Wings, but I decided to take a taxi to avoid doubts.
“Calling a taxi in a fantasy world…”
“Is it that strange?”
“It is! Having a cellphone here already doesn’t make sense, but now, as soon as you contacted soone, a vampire on an airship flew over and helped us cross the sea…”
“Then how should I do it to make it more fantasy-like?”
“Well…”
“Listen carefully, junior. It’s not right to think of such intricacies as heresy just because you’re not used to them.”
“Tsk. You sound like a teacher who never puts his teachings into practice.”
“I’m speaking from experience.”
“I just said that because I hate your ‘know-it-all’ attitude.”
“Haha!”
I burst out laughing.
“What’s so funny?”
“After listening to what you said, I realized I’m getting older too. Is this what senility is?”
“How old are you, exactly?”
“I don’ know. I stopped counting when I reached 100 years old. Anyway, we’re almost there, so brace yourself. Even your underwear can get stolen in that place if you stop paying attention for even just a second.”
“Isn’t that a palace?”
“Have you never heard of the saying that goes, ‘only those caught are bandits, those who aren’t are called wealthy’? Essentially, since his business is booming, he can live in a nice property like this instead of a damp and dull cave.”
“Shaless…”
We got off the taxi, which Coinosseur Shakespeare drove, right in front of our destination.
The Bandit King’s den.
The epito of banditry and his harem lived here.
I didn’t know if he’d still recognize , though.
“Who… What?!”
One of the minions guarding the entrance recognized .
And seconds later, his forr companion, the Bandit King, ran out barefoot.
“What did the Hero co to this shabby place for?!”
“I have a junior who’s curious about what a real bandit looks like.”
“That’s right.”
For reference, the Bandit King’s race was mixed, inheriting the advantages of both elves and humans.
My junior gave him a puzzled look.
“A prince on a white horse…?”
“That’s the bandit boss.”
“No way!”
I felt proud of myself for being able to teach her how the world of Fantasy worked.
I didn’t even expect the Bandit King would look so embarrassed in front of .
I didn’t think we were this close.
“Father!”
“Huh?”
Green Cake?
“Wait a minute! Is that green-haired prince your son?”
“Well…”
“You two don’t have any resemblance… Hohoho! Hello! Nice to see you! I’m learning so many things from my great senior!”
“…”
Her attitude beca way too suspicious.
