617.
[Amazing. I really didn’t know that the tail would be caught so quickly?]
“I’ll go to where you are soon, so wipe your neck and wait.”
[Hehehe. Waiting slowly might be fun in its own way, though. I think it might be a little boring. So let me invite you.]
“invite?”
[okay. I will tell you where I am now.]
“Where is it?”
[Hoo? You don’t have the slightest doubt?]
“Anyway, what you want is my ability.”
[Everyone already knows who I am, right? Gerdinger’s senile old man? Or abominable shadows?]
“Where?”
Despite the hero slayer’s reaction of interest, Leo got to the point as if it was no longer worth talking about.
[Hehe. Hehehe! I want to talk a lot with you more slowly.]
Hero Slayer said with a happy smile.
[The Plov family’s territory. I am here. I’m waiting.]
With those words, communication was cut off.
Leo’s red eyes radiated vivid murder.
Gooooooo-!
Shadow Lords too.
Regas, a hero of a previous generation and the greatest knight of Rodren.
I was overwhelmed by Leo’s fierceness.
The life that flickered like a flame soon subsides.
“It’s a trap.”
“know.”
Leo spoke calmly in response to the words of Algren, the Northern Shadow Lord.
“It’s an unavoidable trap.”
“… … .”
Hero Slayer didn’t just take Rayna hostage.
Everyone living in the Plov family’s territory was taken hostage.
That was the reason why he revealed his location.
‘Declaration of war.’
Leo laughed creepyly.
It meant that he was ready and waiting to hunt him.
“Leo. Leading the shadows and going together… … .”
Algren shook his head at Anyas’ words.
“no. It knows of our existence. Mentioning us must be some kind of threat. “The moment he leads the shadows, he threatens to massacre the residents of Plov Territory.”
“So, Leo, you’re saying I have to go to Plov Territory alone? “This is ridiculous!”
Kirin, the Southern Shadow Lord, said as he looked at Anyas, who spoke as if he could not tolerate it.
“Leo, make a decision… … .”
“I definitely wasn’t told to come alone.”
Leo said, looking at the communication crystal ball in his hand.
“But, as the Northern Mage Tower said, if the shadows move, we don’t know what they will do. “Because he was hunted by shadows.”
Leo opened his mouth.
“What he is most wary of is shadow.”
Hero Slayer is different from regular hero hunters who hunt heroes.
They are initially denied the opportunity to become heroes due to their status as traitors.
‘No matter how bad the gods are, they won’t choose those guys as heroes.’
And all hero hunters hunt heroes by someone else’s will.
They were raised that way from birth.
Or maybe his weakness was discovered due to betrayal and he had no choice but to follow the path of a hero hunter.
Later, it may become crazy or distorted and become voluntary, but its origin is otherness.
‘No matter how much you turn away from the world, you have no choice but to chase the light in the end.’
But Hero Slayer is different.
He turned his back on the light of his own will.
Just for your own desires.
I don’t know what it is, but whatever it is, the root of the Hero Slayer is a hero.
That is why, despite slaughtering countless heroes, they were defeated by the shadows.
‘You probably know about heroes. That’s why they were able to slaughter the heroes. But not a shadow.’
A kind of natural enemy.
‘So he must be wary of the shadows.’
It is difficult to understand the movement of shadows that move secretly in the dark.
That’s probably why they took the Plov territory hostage.
As soon as they sense the shadow, they will immediately massacre even Yeongjimin.
‘If it doesn’t work, you probably think you can just run away.’
However, if a large-scale punitive force is formed, they will just run away.
I won’t fight at a disadvantage.
‘Then there is no reason to sell traps.’
“It might be possible to take a small number of people.”

Legas said that.
“Send Gerdinger’s heroes.”
“no. “If it thinks the weight is tilted, it will run away.”
“… … .”
“It would be possible with hero candidates.”
Regas and the Shadow Lords noticed that Leo was trying to go with Reese and his friends.
“I don’t know about Reese and his friends, but Celia and Lwalin’s children might be in danger?”
Leo said in response to Legas’ words.
“It must be dangerous. Still, it’s okay for those kids. And I want you to know.”
“Do you want me to know?”
“Human malice.”
“… … .”
Regas was silent at Leo’s words.
Chelsea, Celia, and Abad will grow even further in the future.
Regas thought.
‘The current hero candidates will far surpass not only me but even my sons. ‘The present era is such an era.’
When the world of heroes was discovered.
The world has increased its power by leaps and bounds.
3000 years ago.
At the time of the Second Coming of Catastrophe, the scales were actually tipped in favor of Tartarus.
Although the pieces of Erebos were sealed and countless army commanders were wiped out by the heroes of the new era, the world also suffered enormous damage.
In order to fulfill their duty, the heroes of the Gaebyeok sealed themselves together with Erebos in the world of heroes.
And countless heroes lost their lives due to the disaster, and the world that had been revived for thousands of years, although not as long as the time of the disaster, was set on fire.
Unlike that world, Tartarus was a time when three army commanders who had lived since the era of disaster were alive and well.
The first turning point in history since the end of the era of disaster.
An era that may have decided the fate of the world.
However, at that turning point, the world gained a new possibility called the world of heroes and managed to balance Tartarus.
Historians say:
3000 years ago.
After the second coming of disaster, it is said to be the era of true heroes.
The birth of a new type of heroes who inherit the power of their predecessors.
And now is such an era.
Of course, it is about inheriting the power of the ancestors.
Now, great heroes, who can be said to be the progenitors of heroes, are once again appearing in the world.
Gods who disappeared during the Age of Disaster have reappeared, and the secrets of the world that were unknown until then are spreading around the world.
Heroes who have been named indiscriminately are losing their credentials.
Shadows that have been discriminated against in the back of history are also being listed on hero records.
‘A turning point in history where the fate of the world is at stake.’
Hero candidates of that era.
It will far surpass existing heroes.
With power comes responsibility.
Now, hero candidates will face even more threats.
‘Among them, there will certainly be attempts to crush its potential before it fully blooms.’
soon.
‘No, maybe since I entered third grade. Celia may be targeted by hero hunters.’
The battle with Tartarus and the battle with the hero hunters are different.
Tartarus is a being that fundamentally cannot coexist.
But traitorous hero hunters are different.
‘Because they walked the same path as us. In a way, it’s more dangerous than Tartarus.’
Because they can understand each other, they can act more maliciously.
That is why heroes are hunted by hero hunters.
Leo was trying to expose him to such malice.
We were trying to provide a foundation for further growth.
‘Reina is taken hostage… … In a situation where all the residents of the territory are in crisis… … Are you looking into the future?’
Regas looked at Leo silently.
‘Do you have the confidence to save both Raina and Youngjimin?’
But Leo’s eyes were different.
Regas, who had been wandering the battlefield for a long time, looked at Leo and muttered.
‘It’s familiar.’
I was used to losing.
What on earth have we lost?
What on earth has the boy in front of me, whose age can never be called old, lost?
and… … .
‘And yet you don’t want to give up.’
There is nothing like a hero candidate in Leo’s appearance.
All that is felt is the emptiness that only those who have fought endlessly on the battlefield to the point of being worn out can have.
As a knight leading the Gerdinger.
As Regas was an old knight who had been on the battlefield for a long time, he had a sense of emptiness.
‘Once you realize that you are losing, you will eventually admit it and compromise.’
You give up part of it.
Otherwise, you will suffer even more.
But Leo doesn’t have that.
Even though he knows he will lose, he never shows any sign of giving up.
‘hero.’
The image of a true hero that Regas has portrayed for a long time.
Regas, who had been silent, spoke.
“sorry. “It’s Leo.”
“What?”
“Because I was complacent, I made you carry the burden.”
“… … “I’m sure his grandfather couldn’t have imagined that someone who held an important position in the family would do something like that.”
Exgerson kept his desires a secret throughout his life.
I discovered something suspicious, dug into it, and was able to capture evidence with good timing.
He would never have thought that someone who had fought on the battlefield all his life in the name of blood and kin would sheath a sword for a foolish desire.
“I was also complacent. and… … I don’t think it’s a burden. “He is a precious person that I must protect.”
Leo laughed.
“So don’t worry. “I will definitely save my mother.”
“… … request.”
* * *
While preparing to head to the Plov territory, Leo watched the situation unfolding in front of him in silence.
-Elsie. Here is a tea brewed with morning dew from herbs grown in the cleanest place in the world.
-Oh my, it smells really good.
-Elsie! This fruit is picked here in the deepest forest in the world.
-These precious things.
The highest-level spirits of fire who followed the Spirit of Purification were treating Elsie to rare things.
Elsie, who had returned to her usual palm-sized appearance, looked at the teacups and fruits that were the same size as herself and looked embarrassed.
Next to me, only Fiora and Kiran were excited.
At first, when these two childish phoenixes and fairies aimed for refreshments, the supreme spirits of fire lit their double wicks, but they relented after Kiran’s words.
-We are Elsie’s closest associates.
Beep.
Arty looked troubled as he saw the two lying shamelessly.
“Miss Fiora, she used to have a strong appetite, but Kiran’s appetite has also been quite strong lately. “I don’t know if we’ll both gain weight like that.”
In fact, Fiora had a history of becoming an obese phoenix.
-No, it doesn’t work! Isn’t this everything that this body cherishes? These disloyal things! How dare you betray me!
Meanwhile.
Ista, trapped in a dark prison, could only scream while holding on to the iron bars.
The highest level fire spirits completely ignored it.
“I knew that the spirit hierarchy was strict. “I think that’s excessive.”
Larelle sighed slightly at Leo’s words.
“Even low-level spirits are not without emotions. It looks like you’ve been tormented quite a bit by the spirit of purification. What do you plan to do with this star?”
“First of all, the priority should be to punish the Hero Slayer. “Go quickly.”
At those words, Elsie spread her shadow.
Then, the highest-level fire spirits entered it, and Ista, who had been suppressed by Elsie, also entered as if being dragged.
When Leo opened the door, Chelsea, Celia, and Abad were standing in front of him with tense expressions.
Behind them were Reese, Ulta, and Jamua.
The six people had already heard the situation and had made preparations.
“Shall we go?”
Leo nodded to Reese’s question.
“Let’s go.”
Turp-plop-
As Leo walked ahead, the hero candidates followed.
