Episode 256
Our Chainscythe once spoke passionately to me about the strength and greatness of a B-class hero… … .
To put it bluntly, a B-class hero cannot be an opponent for me right now.
Of course, it wasn’t enough to win completely, and every time I beat one person, a small scar was engraved on my body.
On the other hand, Class A was definitely of a different level.
There are only two A-class people I’ve fought so far, including the person in front of me, but I think I know for sure how strong they are.
Could it be said that this is a position that a person with tremendous talent can only reach after overcoming numerous hardships and a few lucky moments?
The highest group of less than a hundred heroes among at least thousands, perhaps more, of Heros.
Of course, at first glance, it doesn’t seem that strong if it’s only Class A.
The mercenaries who adopt a similar rating system may also be to blame.
However, A-class heroes are strong enough to pretend to be the strongest even in most small or medium-sized cities.
What does this mean?
This means that even if they do not become heroes, they are fully capable of taking on roles such as the leader of a knight order organized by a great noble, a knight of the royal guard, or captain of the bodyguard. And that too while spending a huge amount of money.
If you’re a wizard, you’ll be busy going to the magic tower to personally invite them… … .
If you were a mercenary, you would have been called S-class or higher and promised the highest level of treatment for any request.
‘It makes perfect sense to hear that he’s an S-class mercenary.’
I chuckled to myself.
For Luan, who died while working as a C-class mercenary, being an S-class mercenary was literally the sky above the sky.
Mercenary King Camilla… Did you say she was Kay An’s foster daughter? She had only heard of such people through rumors, but she had never met them in person.
What is S-class? To be honest, I’ve hardly ever met an A-level person.
This way, I was able to know relatively accurately what my level was.
Currently, I think I’m at the upper level of Heros’ A class.
Of course, if you use a technique like self-flame, even an A-level person will be no match for you.
“… … .”
I quietly looked at Laura.
How will this woman turn out?
Should I go into the second round without a weapon like this, or should I just give up?
There are still many opponents to fight.
Of course, it would be better for me to just give up, but I thought it wouldn’t matter if I tried to fight more.
I just realized this while fighting, the battle against this hero was quite enjoyable and there was a lot to be gained.
“… … .”
Laura, who lost her weapon, looked at me with empty eyes for a moment, then shook her head thoughtfully.
“… This is my family. Let [Moon Garden] get out of here. “It was a good match, Gold Fairy.”
It’s unclear whether I should say it’s fortunate, but it seems like Laura is thinking of leaving here for now.
Did he not like such an obedient retreat? A guy named Jack, who was standing behind him, said crookedly.
“Sir Laura, you still have the strength to fight, right?”
Then Laura’s cool gaze turned to Jack.
“Yes. If you continue the battle and lead it to a war of attrition, you can make the Golden Fairy more tired and check the remaining means. “I know you all want that.”
“… … .”
“But if I fight with my bare hands, I will definitely lose. “I don’t really want to fight anymore even though the outcome has been decided.”
“Can I say that is the meaning of [Moon Garden]?”
Laura’s expression turned cold at Jack’s words.
“… cheeky.”
The voice that came out between his lips was low but rough.
Ssssssssssssss-!
Mana swirled violently around Laura. Laura’s eyes, standing in the center of the mana storm, were shining brightly.
“Don’t cross the line, human. The reason I agreed to such a shameful joint attack is because our past master owes you a debt… “The fight just now, or rather my coming here today, will be more than enough to repay that debt.”
“… … .”
“I have done enough. “You guys can figure out the rest among yourselves.”
The way she spoke also changed, as if she had become a completely different person, and I wondered if this was the true appearance of Laura, the hero.
What’s not strange is that this woman is a fairy.
Basically, a race with very high pride. Rather, the polite attitude he showed me just now was almost unexpected.
Anyway, after finishing her work, Laura slightly bowed her head towards me and left the alley.
“… … .”
Even though we won, the situation did not improve significantly.
As expected, I thought that from Class A onwards, there was no one that was easy to deal with.
That woman named Laura, for some reason, I thought she wasn’t giving it her all, but it seems she was dragged into a fight she didn’t want to fight from the beginning.
If you guess from the concentration and momentum of the mana released when she just exploded, you can roughly guess the size of Laura’s hidden power.
If we had fought with all our might, we would not have won this easily.
‘If I were to be honest, it wasn’t an easy victory.’
I looked down at my blood-covered hands and smiled. If it hadn’t been for the silver armor I got from the military, I would have suffered serious injuries so severe that my bones were visible.
If the remaining Class A’s skills are at the same level as Laura’s… … .
I’m sure I’ll be able to win the next two times, but it’s hard to be sure from the third time. You might have to risk your life four times.
In fact, I did it twice because I thought about it as best as I could.
Among the remaining A-classes, there may be someone stronger than Laura, and there are still many B-classes left.
And among the remaining B-class, there may be some who are equivalent to A-class.
If those guys rush in to drain my stamina, my condition will get worse.
‘Damn right arm… … .’

If I hadn’t been so nervous trying to defend myself with a falling flag, I would have been able to fight in a much better condition now.
Of course, this is a result-oriented story.
It may have ended that way because I wrote a letter of failure. I know full well that Heero the Strong Sword is not an opponent worth belittling.
‘but… … .’
I am rather happy about the current situation.
The remaining opponents are now thirteen… … .
Among these, four are A-level and nine are B-level.
I took a quick breath and then spoke.
“… next?”
At this moment, the surroundings seemed to suddenly become dark, and a man appeared, cutting between the heroes.
Why does it look a little familiar?
“This is Peter Fang, the clan leader of [Full Moon].”
“aha.”
I thought it was someone, but it was the wolf beast who had been standing behind me and taunting me.
“After [Moon Garden], it’s [Full Moon]. What’s next? “Is the Crescent Moon Clan coming out?”
I smiled and welcomed this guy, but on the other hand, my body remained somewhat tense.
Because I knew from the beginning that this wolf beast was not an easy guy.
“… … .”
Even though I laughed openly, Peter Fang’s expression was grave.
I couldn’t find him provoking me or mocking me like before, but that attitude soon turned into a full-blown attitude.
The moment the rays of mana touched my skin, I almost sighed without realizing it.
I couldn’t believe it, but even if I was in good shape, I was a strong person whose victory was difficult to guarantee.
‘Besides, if he’s a beastman, he’d be good at close combat… … .’
If this happens, the advantage of the alley that only I had disappears.
Because he knows that, at this moment, this guy stepped forward.
“hmm… … .”
“Is it Peter Fang’s turn?”
What was more shocking was the attitude of the heroes standing behind.
The moment this wolf named Peter Fang stepped forward, he completely erased all tension from his body and was seen gathering his weapons.
It meant that even though I had previously won a landslide victory against several B-class heroes and A-class heroes, I was confident that this guy named Peter Fang would win.
‘High level, or top level among Class A… … .’
I don’t know about Laura, but it seems clear that she is stronger than Heiro.
Their gazes collided in the air.
These beastmen make people flinch whenever they make eye contact at night, because their eyes, which absorb the moonlight, sparkle like lights.
Eventually, Peter Fang’s new model disappeared from sight, but I didn’t panic.
Anyway, the battlefield is an alley.
The attack route is from the front, and the only variable available is the air.
‘… ‘If I were a kid, would you have made that decision?’
I immediately kicked the ground and stepped back.
The sound of the air being torn apart resounded harshly, and only the upper body of Peter Fang emerged from the shadows.
It is difficult to think that such a large figure would emerge from below. A first strike that truly caught the eye.
The figure revealed from the shadows is no different from that of an animal.
Until just a moment ago, half of the human form had been maintained.
Bright yellow eyes look directly at me.
Crumbling… …
Peter Fang shed thick saliva, growled viciously at me, and then disappeared into the shadows again.
I’ve never seen it, but it looks exactly like a crocodile wandering around a swamp.
I laughed quietly.
I heard that among the beastmen, there are some races whose combat power increases during the full moon… … .
After all, this guy was that type of individual.
The somewhat unfair truth is that I am the opposite.
In any case, he was dragged into the alley in order to use Hundred Days to his advantage.
Laura is like that, and Peter Fang is like that too.
For some reason, I have a strong feeling that I am self-defeating.
‘A crisis is an opportunity.’
I don’t know anything else, but this guy named Peter Fang is definitely at the top of the A class.
This time, I decided to increase my internal strength to my heart’s content, and since that wasn’t enough, I decided to use the power of the divine beast for the first time in a long time.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaa!
I saw the world through the eyes of a snake, and at the same time, I felt a change in my appearance.
I’m not very happy about this, but now is not the time to lose face.
Anyway, since the appearance will change drastically, I thought it would be a useless idea to give it a new nickname based on this appearance.
It was at this moment that I was surprised by an unexpected turn of events.
“huh?”
When I looked at the world through the eyes of a snake, something I couldn’t see came into view.
There was something like pitch-black slime stuck to every corner of the alley.
Of course, it’s not real slime. Because it was a place where there was nothing until just a moment ago.
Moreover, the shape of the beast moves back and forth based on the slime, as if it were teleporting… … .
‘ah.’
Could that be a shadow space where Peter Fang can hide?
I was a little surprised, but I played it off and pretended that I was checking in the wrong place, not where Peter Fang was.
Peter Fang must have been quite confident in his abilities, as he approached me without any doubts… … .
This time, it seems they are planning to attack from the shadow of the wall where my back is turned.
Puhwaak!
Peter Fang reappeared, his claws bent like hooks and trying to grab my neck.
The horse is grabbing it, and if you catch it with your bare body, your throat will be torn to shreds.
Right before the nail that would probably tear the metal to pieces touched my neck… I spread my arms left and right.
Bye.
“… … !”
Of course, the claws were not blocked from the front, but the defense was aimed at Peter Fang’s elbows.
Judging from the feel, it looks like this guy’s left arm has a fracture.
Peter Fang seemed surprised by my immediate response, but he didn’t panic any longer than necessary and attacked again.
The snout was wide open.
“Eek.”
I quickly lowered my head to avoid Peter Fang’s bite. In the process, some saliva spattered on my face.
“Smells, dogs.”
Just like that, he hit Peter Fang’s chin from below. This guy made a screeching sound and hid in the shadows again.
I continued the chase.
I followed Peter Fang, who disappeared into the slime, and thrust my fist filled with magic towards this place.
Kwaaaang!
As the wall was completely shattered, the slime splattered everywhere, revealing the figure of Peter Fang, who had been hiding in the shadows.
Peter Fang roared like a beast and lunged at me. Instead of shrinking, I took a big step forward and exchanged fire at close range.
Peter Fang, whose entire body, not just his upper body, was revealed, swung his hands in an attempt to bite me with his maw or scratch me with his front paws, and of course his attacks were quite threatening.
I know because I also fight with my bare hands.
It is much more efficient to inject mana, or internal power, into your body than to use a weapon.
Peter Fang even has claws that can easily tear through leather without any special mana.
The synergy when you fill up your mana will be much better than mine.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t have strengths.
Although he is an opponent, he has the appearance of a werewolf. Because its legs are strangely bent, it is difficult to attack with its feet. Is it a limitation of the body structure?
On the other hand, my legs are free.
What does this mean?
It means I have more means than this guy.
Pow!
