616.
For a knight who wields a sword, the arm that holds the sword is like life.
The arm was cruelly cut off.
Reed, who was in a panic, had no choice but to scream while clutching the cut part.
The pain radiating from the cut surface was painful, but the psychological shock was even greater.
“Where should I cut next?”
However, Reed came to his senses when he heard a dry voice.
He was also a knight who was recognized by God and rose to the status of a hero.
No matter how big the shock was, I couldn’t just scream forever with the enemy in front of me.
Reid, holding on to the severed arm, distanced himself from Leo.
Reed retrieved the sword held in his severed hand.
Reed’s sword is an heirloom of the Gerdinger family.
The sword itself was a powerful weapon.
Reed, holding the sword with his left hand, gritted his teeth.
‘The arms can be attached!’
With the help of magic, you can reattach any number of severed arms.
And I don’t know if it was bad luck or luck, but Leo cut off his arm cleanly.
‘Then it will be easy to attach!’
Reid’s eyes widened.
‘The priority now is to defeat the monster in front of us!’
“Knights! “Punish that ruthless man!”
The knights who appeared with Reed’s order surrounded Leo and aimed their swords.
Looking at the knights like that, Leo said with a dry face.
“If you are Jerdinger’s knights, get out of the way. “I just want to punish the traitor.”
“You fool!”
Reid laughed at Leo with a twisted smile.
“These are my loyal knights! Do you think I’ll follow your orders?! And traitor? “That’s ridiculous!”
Reid screamed in desperation.
“I just want to make Gerdinger the best hero! The current head of the family! Seld Gerdinger is too far back! Despite the power! Don’t use it! It’s just a pointless waste of energy on the front line against Tartarus! Not only Seld Gerdinger! That foolish Lwalin too! Hwanggado!”
Reid’s eyes sparkled.
“Why are you wasting your power pointlessly on something like Tartarus! Rodren is not an empire that will stay in the western part of the continent! “This is a country that has the capacity to become a great empire that will rule the world!”
Reed, agitated by the pain, spoke passionately about what he was thinking.
“We, Gerdinger, must take the lead! Rise to the position of the best family in the empire! We must assist the imperial family and command the continent! In this way, we must make Gerdinger the world’s greatest hero! It’s not my personal greed! “If you truly care for Gerdinger, you must have such aspirations!”
“Is that why you joined hands with the global threat that killed countless heroes in the past?”
“We didn’t hold hands! “I’m just using it.”
“Everyone used to say that.”
Leo lowered his sword.
“I didn’t even know I was being used.”
There is only one thing Tartarus wants.
division of the world.
It was clear that if these people moved Gerdinger, the empire would be shaken.
‘Is this his work too?’
Leo thought of Hell Kaiser, the Demon King.
The King of Death is good at secret fighting.
In this way, poison is spread all over the world.
The same goes for pureblood elves.
They just say that they are taking advantage of the other person.
Using their power itself becomes a ‘weakness’.
However, those who join hands with Tartarus do not consider it a weakness.
‘Because I think crushing it with force is enough.’
In the first place, the Four Spirit Kings did not threaten them by taking advantage of their weakness in joining hands with them.
They just pretend to be used.
Just as they were trying to gradually destroy elf society by using the pureblood society.
Gradually, they make each other eat away at each other’s flesh.
“I’m not interested in the history of the empire or the history of my family.”
“okay. “For someone like you, the qualifications of a direct descendant are too much.”
“okay. “But that’s not what you guys want to say.”
“what?”
“The empire’s previous emperors… … And the heads of the Gerdinger family… … Furthermore, even the heads of the Lwalin family.”
Leo’s red eyes turned to Reid.
“They never invaded other countries. Do you know why?”
“Unfortunately, our predecessors had no aspirations.”
“no.”
Leo narrowed his eyes.
“It was probably to make this land better to live in.”
5,000 years ago, a time of disaster.
The land that was most cruelly trampled was not the eastern part of the continent where Tartarus appeared, nor was it the northern or southern part of the continent.
It was none other than the western part of the continent.

The most developed land.
As a result, it was the land that was most thoroughly destroyed and devastated.
Most of the current territory of the Rodren Empire was still occupied during the Age of Calamity.
This is the area where Tartarus’ power was strongest even after the Age of Calamity ended.
The reason the Rodren Empire occupied such a vast territory was not because it conquered other countries, but because it drove out Tartarus, who had occupied this land for a long time.
And now it has become the most prosperous land.
This land that even Lisinas shook his head, saying it seemed impossible to recover.
It is now the most livable and prosperous land in the world.
Leo, who knew the past, knew very well how much effort the people who lived in this country had made for this land.
There are Gerdinger’s predecessors who risked everything to take care of the devastated land and ensure that the people who live on that land can live in peace.
He is too noble to be judged as simply having no aspirations.
So that’s why it’s stupid.
‘That’s why it must be a famous hero.’
“The flame of the Phoenix is noble. Because it is the power to destroy evil by burning itself. That may be why the first Jerdinger received the power of the Phoenix a long time ago.”
“It’s like a dream. Why sacrifice for others when you have the power? “That is foolish.”
“Yeah, stupid.”
Leo closed his eyes.
“But don’t forget. Because there were heroes who risked their all without hesitation to ridicule the foolish actions of people like you who are corrupting the world. “The world exists to this day.”
“That’s funny. A hero is simply someone who has accomplished great feats. “If I ruin the world, how will I explain why I’m a hero?”
“hero?”
Leo’s head tilted crookedly.
“who?”
“Something like an unknown hero! No matter how much you deny it, I choose the gods… … !”
Reid’s face, who had been laughing at Leo, hardened.
“You don’t even deserve to be called a hero.”
[Hero qualification has been revoked.]
I instinctively realized the message that appeared before my eyes.
“You… … You! “What have you done to me!”
The reason is unknown, but Leo’s sentence took away his position.
“You just denied that you were a hero.”
“Aaaah! What are the knights doing? “Hurry up and stop punishing that guy!”
“insect!”
The knights of the Presbytery went to surround Leo.
Jeopuk-
Leo took a step forward.
That moment.
Wow!
The heads of the Presbyterian Knights all flew into the sky.
The Northern Shadow Lord, Algus, looked at the scene and muttered.
“It’s beautiful.”
Leo’s sword contained no emotion.
Just dull.
As if he was doing what he had to do, he gave death to the traitors fairly.
The sight reflected in Algus’s eyes looked like God’s judgment.
dump-!
After cutting down the knights with one sword, Leo’s gray eyes turned to Reed.
dump-!
Reid slumped down in his seat without realizing it.
My body was shaking.
Accordingly, a crackling sound was heard from the mouth.
Turp-plop-
“Save me… … Save me… … .”
“You only have two options. “Do you die beautifully or die painfully?”
Reid had a hunch.
That the existence before my eyes is absolute death.
That you can never survive.
“Ha, at once… … .”
Leo said calmly as he watched Reid beg with all his might.
“You already made your choice.”
Sigh-!
“Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
Leo’s sword pierced Reed’s mouth.
Leo’s sword, which precisely cut off the mouth area and tongue, was recovered.
Reed’s left arm was cut as he was rolling around on the floor and writhing in pain.
Leaving behind Reed, who was writhing on the floor without even being able to scream, Leo headed toward the Elder’s Corridor.
***
‘Everything is over! We have to get out of Sjerdinger!’
Exgerson was quickly heading toward the secret door with his face frozen as he heard flames and screams coming from all over the Elder’s Corridor.
The reason I thought everything was over was simple.
[Hero qualification has been revoked.]
He was the culprit that took away everything from Exgerson.
It wasn’t just Eggerson.
The reason is unknown, but everyone in the Presbyterian Church lost their hero title.
After that, the elders dispersed to escape from Gerdinger.
For a hero, the title of hero had a more powerful influence than one could imagine.
A special being chosen by God for the safety of the world.
A hero was a superior human being in and of itself.
And the title of hero was in itself a guarantee that he was a noble human being.
The reason Eggerson used Hero Slayer was simple.
Even if this incident comes to light in the future.
Exgerson is a hero.
Even if you have already obtained Gerdinger, you are still a human being chosen by God.
You can make a justification for using Hero Slayer for the world.
Even if you get criticized.
It’s just that moment.
History is written by the winners.
It was clear that he would remain a noble hero for future generations.
But he lost his hero title.
The elders lost their most powerful means of protecting themselves.
‘how! why! why!’
Exgerson felt a sense of injustice rising in his heart.
It was then.
Trup-
Someone appeared at the corner of the hallway.
Eggerson’s face distorted as he checked his opponent.
“Legas!”
Legas said while looking at Eggerson gritting his teeth.
“Give up.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! What did I do wrong to have to end up like this? “I just wanted my grandson to be the head of the family!”
“Isang was planning things behind the scenes for personal gain. “I cannot be forgiven.”
“profit! Do you believe what those lowly shadows say? “I don’t know Hero Slayer!”
“Hero Slayer. The Shadow Lords who have protected the world’s darkness for a long time are certainly scary. “I can’t believe you found out so much in such a short amount of time.”
Eggerson was startled by those words.
Legas’ eyes turned cold as he looked at Exgerson.
“You thought you controlled all of Gerdinger’s shadows.”
Sreuk-
Someone appeared from Gerdinger’s shadow.
Eggerson’s face hardened when he saw that.
“That’s not true. Deeper in the darkness of Gerdinger, shadows exist. “All the stories you told me in the Elder’s Corridors have reached my ears.”
Eggerson gritted his teeth at those words.
“It’s because of you! “If you had been just a little bit more honest, our Gerdinger could have surpassed Lwalin right away!”
“yes. Since our generation, our family has been full of talented people. Is it that important to surpass Llewalin of the Korean National University?”
“profit! It’s important! Surpassing Lwalin is not the end! Gerdinger! We can make you the best hero! And yet you just crouched down! what? I’m bleeding!? A foolish man who does not know the sacrifice of cows for the greater good! You and your wife! And even children! Let’s all talk nonsense like dreams! If only I were the head of the family! “Jerdinger has already become the best hero in Rodren!”
“Is that the end of the will?”
“Noooooom!”
Exgerson lunged at Legas.
Legas said calmly while looking at Exgerson.
“It looks like you forgot one thing. My father is not the person to pass on the position of head of the family just because he is a son. “Like my grandfather.”
Originally, the head of the family of Seonseondae Gerdinger, Regas’ father, was the second son.
“There is only one reason I became the head of the family.”
Suddenly!
Wow!
“Kkeok?”
Exgerson’s head flew into the sky.
“It’s just because I’m better than you. “Just as my father was superior to your father.”
Thump- splat- splat-
“No words… … It doesn’t work… … .”
Legas spoke calmly as he looked at Eggerson, who was reacting in disbelief that the game was decided by a single blow.
“Not all heroes are the same. With that skill, he must have made Gerdinger the best hero in Rodren.”
***
Leo went through the Elder’s corridors and punished every single traitor.
When he finally arrived at Exgerson’s office, waiting for Leo were Anyas, Kirin, and Regas.
“grandfather?”
“The more I know about my grandchild, the more absurd it is. He was holding the darkness of the world. “For some reason, they don’t seem to have much interest in the family legacy.”
Legas chuckled.
‘This grandfather. ‘That’s amazing.’
I never thought we would reach this place so quickly.
While Leo was admiring.
Anyas came up to Leo.
“Leo, here.”
Leo lifted the communication crystal ball that Anyas handed to him.
“This is something made by Hero Slayer.”
“… … “I guess I can chase down the reverberations of magical power.”
Normally, this would be impossible.
However, Leo has been chasing and punishing countless traitors for thousands of years.
Before being the strongest hero, he is the strongest shadow.
Just looking at the way they chased down and punished the traitors here today, it was an overwhelming pursuit ability that not even the Shadow Lords would dare dare.
It was then.
Ugh-!
The crystal ball responded.
Leo saw this and narrowed his eyes and injected magic power into the crystal ball.
The crystal ball stopped vibrating.
After a while.
[Are you Leo Plov?]
Hero Slayer spoke.
