Hellmode ~Gamer Who Likes to Speedrun Becomes Peerless in a Parallel World with Obsolete Setting~ Vol. 11 - Chapter 673 - Shea and Zew (1)

The Beast God Garm stated that he would give a trial to the winner of the battle between Shea and Zew.

"Lord Garm… C-can I double check to be sure? I feel like you just asked to fight Shea…"

'What, you should pay more attention to what I'm saying then. I'm saying that you'll fight to the death with Shea, and the one who wins will receive my trial.'

"Th-that can't be?!"

Zew wished that he had misheard.

'Of course, you'll get the help of those behind you too. Oh right, you just arrived from a fight.'

He said that Luvanka and the Ten Heroic Beasts could fight too.

Then Garm's tail began to brim with divine power, which he then waved at Shea, Zew, Luvanka, and the Ten Heroic Beasts.

'All of the ti limits on your Skills should be gone now.'

He had reset their cooldowns so they could fight better.

"...Before we kill each other, there's sothing I'd like to ask."

"Sh-Shea! Are you serious?!"

'Oh, what is it?'

"What's your trial going to be?"

'Why do you ask?'

"Maybe it'll change how I should fight Zew."

'It's really simple. Just use the Divine Techniques you've learned in the temple on .'

Shea had learned the Divine Technique [Ruthless Leopard God Attack] that could be used after a 10 hit combo, and [Wind God Heavenly Fist] that could be used after a 20 hit combo.

She would need to use both within a combo against Garm.

"I see… That'll be a difficult trial."

Shea understood why she needed to fight the Beast God Cougar and Wind God Vess.

Not to ntion that she also had to fight the founder Albahar and Beast God Giran.Then she placed her hand to her chin to think. She was much more calm than Zew.

"Shea, calm down. This might just be a test from Garm."

'What are you saying? Beastn can only live by eating each other. Don't be swayed by emotions just because you're related.'

Before Shea could reply, Garm denied that possibility.

"You heard him. If you want the trial, then you'll have to make up your mind, Zew."

"Shea, are you serious?!!"

"There are stairs down there. Brother Zeus, Shea must defeat the Demon Lord, establish the Beast Empire. Could you leave? Even if you exhaust yourself here, it may not affect the battle with Lord Garm."

She tried to persuade him.

'Hm? Hmm? I see, that's fine. I can wait.'

Garm seed upset that Shea was trying to talk her way out of the fight, but then let it go.

While Zew seed hesitant to fight, Hobah seed to think of sothing behind him and stepped forward.

"Lady Shea, could you give it up already? It's you two who should go down those stairs!"

"Oh, what did you say?"

Shea frowned hearing that sudden request.

"Hobah, what's gotten into you all of a sudden?"

"It seems you're also unaware of the current situation. Listen well, the whole world is already expecting Lord Zew to be the next Beast King, leading the beastn of Albahar! Then it's obvious he's the one who should receive the trial from the Beast God Garm!!"

Hobah had beco the commander of the royal knights after Lud rescinded the position, and was currently the general of Zew's personal guard.

"What's this I'm not aware of?"

"...I had a hunch you did not know, but very well. While you were chasing after the Evil Cult in the Gyariat Continent, Lord Zew and a group of beastn adventurers went to the unconquered S Rank Dungeon, becoming the first to clear it."

Hobah explained how much Zew had garnered the trust of beastn.

At first, Shea was more popular amongst beastn adventurers and rcenaries, who saw her as a battle princess.

But after conquering the S Rank Dungeon, Zew also gathered attention from them.

"So he was out garnering popularity while I was getting rid of the Evil Cult."

During that ti, Shea had gathered 3000 adventurers and rcenaries, and was in the Gyariat Continent fighting against the Evil Cult with the weapons a had gathered.

"But that's not all. Now that Lord Bek has passed, everyone in the royal court is on Lord Zew's side!!"

"Saying everyone is an exaggeration."

Zew felt the need to correct Hobah's claim. He knew there were so nobles who opposed his constant support of the Five Continents Alliance.

"It's not sothing new that I'm not trusted."

Shea had a rough idea of the things happening in the palace thanks to Lud.

Bek had been trying to enact really restrictive laws, which made nobles distance themselves from him. But when news ca about Shea's victory over the Evil Cult, hardly anyone changed their opinion about her, as she was the daughter of a from Barrio.

But when Zew returned from the S Rank Dungeon, he gained a large following.

While many still thought Bek was the better choice, others felt soone who had overco a trial was more worthy.

Hobah also never stopped talking about how Zew got through the S Rank Dungeon.

"Obviously, the whole world wants Lord Zew to beco Beast King now."

While Bek had planned an invasion of the Central Continent, Zew was more collected and righteous. He even went to stop the Demon King's Army's attacks on other countries.

He also replied to the Five Continents' Alliance's call, and joined their etings.

Even during Peromus' weddings he had been able to establish connections with other countries.

The people of Albahar and other countries would accept him as the new ruler.

"Yes, and I fought with my life on the line. I guess the 1000 lives lost in my fight to capture Gushara were in vain."

Shea began arguing back.

She had also risked a lot. While Zew was fighting the Demon King's Army, she had been fighting Gushara, Basque, and Pharnes.

But Zew was the only one receiving attention.

"Please don't say that, just let Lord Zew-"

"Then I shall beco the evil emperor who stopped the crowning of Prince Zew! That's a better fate than being forgotten to history!"

Shea raised her fists as the veins in her arm bulged up.

She had no intention to concede Garm's trial to Zew.

"Lord Zew, stand ready! We'll fight alongside you until the end!!"

"Are you serious..?"

While the Ten Heroic Beasts looked confused, Zew had not made up his mind yet.

"This reminds , there's sothing I saw in a dream recently. I have a question for you."

"Hm? What is it?"

"Is it true that you told Rena about my training schedule? That incident wouldn't have happened unless soone else knew, so I want to know the truth."

Hearing Shea's question, everyone went silent.

Her face was more fierce than ever before. Everyone knew that the answer could result in a bloodbath.

"Shea, listen carefully. It's an undeniable truth that a was plotting an insurrection. All those weapons you used to hunt the Evil Cult would have plunged the capital in flas. If you want proof-"

"That's not what I asked though?"

Shea interrupted Zew's excuse.

Shea was reminded of that scene. Her mother jumped off a window, and the maid who had taken care of her since she was small was impaled to death.

Seeing Shea's reaction, Zew closed his eyes for a mont, and then spoke with a determined voice.

"It was who told Rena about your schedule. But Shea, I think you're still misunderstanding sothing."

"A misunderstanding? And what could that be?"

"Rena wasn't the only one I told about your schedule. I also told the Beast King about a's suspected plans, and he seed aware of them already. And he mobilized his knights imdiately."

That was how they avoided a direct conflict with Shea's n.

Since Rena had co from Brysen to beco Zew's wife, she was not allowed to move freely in the palace, or granted audiences with the Beast King.

So instead of her, it was Zew who stopped a's actions.As a result, the royal knights were sent after a, and confronted with an abundance of evidence, she chose to take her own life.

This ti, Shea listened all the way through.

Hearing the answer she had been waiting for, Shea's eyes opened wide, but then she regained her cool.

"It's always all the sa… What did I ever do! But if I overco Lord Garm's trial then I'll also cleanse mother's soul. I'll finally beco sothing after always being nothing. Zew, this is good bye!!"

"I see, so we can't avoid a fight."

'We can't. Don't think I'll go easy on you even if you don't want to fight. Full Beast Mode!!'

Shea transford into an enormous tiger while screaming in anger.

"Lord Zew, get ready! Lady Shea is serious!!"

'I know! Everyone, we're close to victory! Full Beast Mode!!'

Zew also got ready to fight.

He transford into a four legged lion that was even bigger than Shea.

'Ohohoh, I was wondering what would happen. Fight! And then kill each other! I won't give my power to soone without determination!!'

The Beast God Garm began to cackle and roll around.

"Lepe! Support him. And everyone else too!!"

Hobah quickly told the Ten Heroic Beasts to use any supportive Skills and Magic.

The fight between Shea and Zew was about to start.

T/N - Hello everyone, I will be the new translator for this series (the previous translator went MIA). You can expect the regular 4 ch/week schedule (Minus the ti when we’ve catched with the author) which is Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat I believe so terms/nas might appear different, but since I barely joined in on the weekend, I didn’t have much ti to parse the glossary of prev tl, as you can see the long list of skills and status, so so might be inevitably left behind (I will catch it up soon.)
