Kwaduk-!
Fritz’s hand exploded the skeleton’s head.
Whirling-
Red threads flew from Fritz’s body, which spun like a top in the air.
Tukwagagagagagak-!
Fritz, who destroyed the skeleton unit, adjusted his glasses.
“That’s quite a lot.”
The endless hordes of undead pouring in from the hallway were enough to make anyone who watched them feel dizzy.
But there was no change in expression on Fritz’s face.
“Can I help you if you’re having a hard time?”
Chen Xia, who was following Fritz, asked.
“Senior, you don’t have to come forward.”
Fritz smiled faintly.
Whirring!
The red threads scattered everywhere became taut.
A unique magic created by combining Fritz’s blood with magical power.
“Blood Flame.”
Quaaaaaaa! Kugugoogung-!
The entire hallway was covered in red flames.
Fritz used the scattered red threads as a fuse to burn all the undead in an instant and smiled.
Looking at Fritz like that, Chen Xia asked with a shocked expression.
“are you okay?”
“How do you feel, senior?”
When asked if he was okay, Fritz responded with a question and adjusted his glasses.
“Didn’t you look a little like Leo?”
“Where are you going? “No, is it better than that?”
“Isn’t Leo senior’s main attribute fire? So I tried using magic. Of course, with my inexperienced skills, I can’t even come close to Leo senior, but I’m a little, just a little bit similar to Leo senior… … .”
“… … Master Leo doesn’t really care about the attributes when using magic. But are you really okay?”
“indeed! Senior Leo!”
Fritz, completely ignoring Chen Xia’s concerns, took out a notebook from his pocket and wrote down new facts about Leo.
‘You seem to be fine.’
Even though Fritz’s hands were bleeding profusely, he didn’t seem to care at all.
It wasn’t bleeding from a wound.
As it is a magic that deals with blood, a lot of blood was shed due to the recoil of the powerful magic.
‘It’s a mana characteristic like a double-edged sword.’
Although it is possible to obtain overwhelming attack power by consuming blood, the damage inflicted on the magic caster as a result is significant.
‘A unique first year has arrived.’
Thinking like that, Chen Xia smiled softly.
‘What kind of first graders came in?’
When I saw Fritz, that thought naturally occurred to me.
But I soon shook off that thought.
‘There will be no need to return to Lumern.’
Chen Xia walked away with a bitter smile.
After stitching up the wound, Fritz took out a red potion from his pocket and drank it.
It was an elixir to replenish blood made through alchemy.
“Did you say Fritz? “You respect Master Leo very much.”
“It wasn’t to this extent originally. He thought he was someone worth protecting as a shadow, but… … He saw it firsthand and found out about it.”
Fritz followed Chen Xia and placed his hand on her chest.
“That he is a truly respectable person.”
“… … Yes. “Master Leo is a great person.”
“If you meet senior Leo and talk to him, you will definitely change your mind.”
“yes. That’s why I can’t meet Master Leo right now.”
‘If I meet you now, my resolve will be broken.’
“If one day, Master Leo becomes the greatest hero… … “I want to meet you then.”
“no. “It is I who will become the greatest hero.”
Chen Xia and Fritz stopped walking when they heard a voice coming from beyond the darkness.
Fritz took a wary stance and Chen Xia sighed deeply.
Thump-thump-thump-
Cyan, a man dressed in blood-covered white clothes, emerged from the darkness.
He grinned at his fraternal twin.
“It’s been a while, Sia.”
“… … long time no see. draft.”
“It’s not a welcoming face at all?”
Xian smiled and spread his arms.
“I’ve never been apart for this long before, so I’m disappointed that your reaction is so calm?”
“I never wanted to meet you in my life.”
Fritz looked at Chen Xia in shock.

‘Are they the same person?’
The gentle appearance he showed just moments ago was nowhere to be seen.
With a face as cold as ice, Chen Xia approached Xian.
“Because if we ever meet again, I have to kill you again.”
Although they call him a traitor, they are blood relatives who have been together his entire life.
When I thought I had killed him with my own hands, it was more painful than ever.
I never wanted to repeat that pain again.
But Sian was too twisted a monster to ignore that pain.
“I wanted to meet again. “I had a lot to ask you.”
Xian smiled gently.
“I heard you went into Lumern and pretended to be a hero candidate? “Why is that?”
Xian asked as if it was curious.
“You know best, right? “Unlike me, you are not a person fit for a hero.”
Fritz’s eyes twitched at Sian’s words.
“If you entered Lumern, you would only be hurt more.”
Seeing Sian speaking with genuine concern, Sia smiled.
I can tell because it has always stuck with me since I was young.
Those aren’t words meant to hurt yourself.
He was asking this out of genuine concern for himself.
‘This is the kind of person.’
“You are talking nonsense. Senior Chen Xia is a person more suited to being a hero than anyone else.”
“Hoo?”
Sian burst out in exclamation at Fritz’s words.
Then he chuckled.
“no way. “Maybe it’s someone who suits the shadow better than anyone else.”
I shrugged my shoulders and denied Fritz’s words.
Chen Xia also did not deny those words.
‘Because there is a difference between what you want to be and what you can become.’
I tried my best to ignore that fact and forced myself to enter Rumern.
And what I learned from watching other hero candidates was that I admitted that I could not be a hero.
“Chen Xia, you can’t be a hero.”
Xian said with a serious face.
“So I hope you don’t do anything to hurt yourself. “Because you will only make yourself miserable.”
“Thanks for the advice.”
Chen Xia raised her hand.
I’m not angry.
Suuuu-
Murderous energy gushed out from Chen Xia’s body.
“But Sian, you can’t be a hero either.”
At those words, Xian let out a deep sigh.
“It’s a shame. “I thought you could understand me.”
Xian smiled lonelyly.
“You were the one who understood me best.”
From a young age, it was none other than Chen Xia who was most saddened by the fact that Xian could not become a hero.
It was Chen Xia as a child who most said that Xian was the right person to be a hero.
“I thought I understood you.”
The expression disappeared from Chen Xia’s face.
“But I was wrong. “You are crazy.”
“In the end, you are no different from other criminals.”
Hwaak-
Chen Xia’s body disappeared.
Sigh!
Chen Xia’s water aura attacked Xian.
Xian looked at Chen Xia and swung his sword.
Gooooooo-!
The wind blew.
Pow-!
The water aura scattered in all directions.
“Sia, you can’t beat me.”
Xian smiled and looked at Chen Xia.
Whioooo-!
A light wind blew.
Chen Xia saw that and deployed her aura.
Coo coo coo coo! Kwagagagagagagagak-!
A fierce wind erupted from Xian’s body.
A sharp wind that destroys everything.
Fritz hastily backed away.
Woe!
However, Chen Xia did not back down and snuggled into Xian’s arms.
Seeing Chen Xia like that, Xian’s eyes twitched.
Like water flowing.
Naturally avoiding Xian’s sharp wind, Chen Xia snuggled into Xian’s arms.
Tup-!
The bottoms of Chen Xia’s hands touched Xian’s chest.
Flash-!
For an instant, Chen Xia’s eyes flashed blue.
Pow-!
Xian’s body bounced like it exploded.
Water swirled in all directions like a water cannon exploded.
The water aura was compressed and a huge amount of water pressure was released all at once.
Kwaang-!
Xian’s body went through the wall.
Chen Xia put her hand on the pain she felt in her side.
I was hit by a counterattack while bouncing back.
“You’ve become stronger.”
Xian, who came out through the hole in the wall, muttered in admiration.
But soon he burst into laughter.
“But it’s not as sharp as before?”
“… … .”
Chen Xia looked at Xian with cold eyes.
“You were much more threatening before. “It seems that living in Rumerne has dulled your sharpness.”
Xian clicked his tongue.
“Look at that. “It happens because it becomes neither one nor the other.”
Sigh-
Chen Xia’s body disappeared into the darkness.
When Xian saw that, murder came out of his eyes.
“I am very disappointed. “I wanted to remember your last days as a shadow.”
Grumble-!
Gooooooo!
‘Hero abilities?’
Chen Xia, who had disappeared in the darkness, opened her eyes wide as she saw Xian emitting a flame aura.
“It’s probably not worth remembering.”
Quagga-ga-ga-ga-gang-!
The flame aura swirled like an explosion.
Chen Xia, who was hit directly, rolled on the floor miserably.
Cheeeeeeeek-
Smoke rose from her entire body.
The body was cut by a slash that flew with flames.
Looking at Chen Xia, Xian turned without hesitation.
Then he looked at Fritz, who was caught up in the explosion, and smiled.
“Are you alive?”
“Tsk.”
“I swore to destroy all the shadows in this world.”
Fritz created magic.
Seeing Fritz like that, Cyan raised his sword and laughed.
“I’ll make it easier for you now.”
Splat!
The sound of a hand touching a puddle rang out.
Xian stopped and looked back.
Xian’s eyes twitched as he saw Chen Xia struggling to get up with his head down.
“Are you alive?”
Chen Xia raised her head.
Sian grinned at the youthful sparkle in his eyes.
“You’re persistent.”
Xian approached Chen Xia.
“But Sia, you felt it too, right? “The difference in overwhelming power.”
Sigh-!
Auras swirled around Xian’s sword.
“It would be easier to just give up. “This is my last consideration as your brother.”
Sigh-!
“… … !”
Chen Xia took a step forward.
Then the floor caved in.
Chen Xia, who had compressed her aura, spoke in a cold voice.
“There’s no need for that kind of consideration.”
Kwaang-!
Chen Xia threw up a fist.
Xian, who was hit directly by the blow, was thrown away.
Kugugoogung-!
Xian fell through the wall and onto the floor, frowning.
‘It’s going to take more time than I thought.’
Fighting-
Xian got up and shook off the stone fragments stuck to his body.
Turp-plop-
Chen Xia is approaching.
‘It must be a limit, so how can I move it?’
The blow just moments ago was the most powerful blow that Xian poured everything into.
‘I can’t be held back by someone like Sia.’
Xian felt impatient.
Xian felt pressured by the fact that Chen Xia, whom he thought he could easily kill, was still ready for battle.
Although he was trying hard to deny it, he was afraid of the being called Leo who might come after him.
‘Go underground right now.’
Xian ignored Chen Xia and ran over.
‘Sia will come after me. In that case, it’s not too late to quickly obtain Kyle’s sword and then deal with it.’
***
The basement of the very center of Shan’s imperial palace.
There was a stone chamber there that only Shan’s royal family could enter.
Of course, even members of the royal family cannot approach without the emperor’s permission.
However, Xian arrived at the stone chamber without difficulty.
This is because the Four Spirit King’s legions have currently invaded Shan’s imperial palace.
The shadows guarding this place were also attacked by the evil spirit king’s legions.
‘Abamama and the other shadows will be captured by Atkan.’
Of course, in a little while, all of the Demon King’s legions will be subdued.
But before that, all I had to do was get what I wanted and escape.
Xian approached the stone chamber door.
The powerful seal passed down from ancestors only reacts to the blood of the royal family.
He put his own blood on his hand and held it to the door.
Coo coo coo coo coo-
Then the door opened.
Turp-plop-
Inside the room was a huge library.
These were all records of shadows unknown to the world.
The Shan emperors considered this record a treasure.
Achievements achieved by shadows.
Although no one acknowledges it, it is clear evidence that they were behind history.
However, from Xian’s point of view, there was only laughter.
“It wouldn’t be known to the world anyway.”
Even if it is known, no one acknowledges it.
Unless it’s on Hero Records.
People don’t recognize feats.
The reason I left a record like this was because I couldn’t get my name on Hero Records.
“A shadow is just a shadow. So it has no value. “Sia.”
Xian said, looking back at Chen Xia who had followed him.
“Then why did you come to this record archive?”
In response to Chen Xia’s question, Xian pointed to the sword hanging on the wall of the library.
“For that sword.”
The only weapon among the ones here.
“They say it’s the sword of Kyle, the hero of the beginning.”
Chen Xia’s eyes opened wide at Xian’s words.
“The hero’s sword of the beginning… … “What?”
“okay! They told me about it in Tartarus. “Our progenitor may have been Kyle’s disciple.”
Sian smiled as she looked at the surprised girl.
“I don’t know why I was reduced to a shadow or something, but it’s fate.”
Xian pointed to himself.
“Now it is known that the hero of beginning actually existed in the world. As a descendant of Kyle’s disciple, I will inherit the hero record of the hero of the beginning.”
“Do you believe what Tartarus says?”
Chen Xia looked appalled.
“There is no reason not to believe it. So Sia.”
Turp-plop-
Xian approached the wall and pulled out his sword from its scabbard.
“Die in peace. “I, who inherited Kyle’s power, will subdue Tartarus.”
“Still saying that nonsense…” … .”
Sia, who was glaring at Sian with a frown, paused while looking at the sword.
‘Wait a minute, that sword… … ‘Definitely somewhere.’
It was a sword I had seen before.
Sian didn’t seem to notice, but she learned about that sword in Rumern’s class.
‘Definitely in heroics class… … .’
Sigh-! Woe!
At that time, the wind aura swirled.
Chen Xia urgently deployed her aurors and blocked the storm of auras.
Kwaang-!
“Huh?”
But it couldn’t hold on and flew off and hit the wall.
Hood deud deuk-!
Chen Xia fell to the ground miserably, and a record of shadows poured down on her.
“That’s amazing.”
Xian looked down at the sword with a surprised face.
“It’s still this sharp even after 5,000 years! Besides, he can handle aurors this well.”
Even at first glance, it was an amazing sword that could easily be called a divine sword.
“Is this really a sword made by a divine blacksmith?”
Xian’s body trembled with joy.
Patter-
At that time, Chen Xia stood up.
My body was shaking.
“You are already at your limit.”
Xian approached Chen Xia with leisurely steps.
“But why are you struggling so much?”
“… … “I think it’s because I’ve been hearing this for a year.”
“what is that?”
“Limitations… … “Go beyond it.”
Xian sighed as he looked at Chen Xia smiling and taking a fighting stance.
“It seems like Rumern abandoned you.”
Xian made a pitiful expression.
“I’ll say it again, Sia. “You can’t be a hero.”
“know.”
“Then why are you acting like a hero?”
Those who have stepped into the darkness are caught in the darkness and cannot go to the light.
There was too much blood on my hands to go to the light.
From the moment he thought he couldn’t be a hero, the gods would never acknowledge him.
There will be no God who will recognize those who do not even recognize themselves.
still… … .
“You can dream, right?”
When Xian saw Chen Xia smiling brightly, he felt uncomfortable for some reason.
This is Chen Xia’s bright smile, just like any other time.
But that smile seemed so bright now.
The glare made me feel nauseous for some reason.
“Dreams are meant to be woken up. “You know it well, right?”
Xian raised his sword.
“No one like you can beat me in your life. “The reason you barely drove me to death back then was only because I was lazy in my shadow training.”
It was when he sneered and was about to swing his sword.
“Are you bragging about such a pathetic reason?”
A laugh was heard.
Chen Xia opened her eyes wide.
Xian distorted his face and turned his head toward the entrance.
Turp-plop-
“Leo… … Plov.”
“I know a guy who had a really wild dream. “That guy said.”
Leo grinned at Chen Xia.
“Dreams are meant to come true.”
