619.
“You’re all there.”
Leo muttered as he looked at the Plov family’s territory in the distance and looked back.
There, Chelsea, Celia, and Abad were drinking potions to replenish their stamina and magical power.
Leo’s hometown, Delad Kingdom, is a small kingdom on the outskirts.
And the Plov family is a country estate among them.
As such, there was no direct warp gate between the kingdom’s capital Delran and the territory.
After using the nearest warp gate, he traveled all the way here at top speed.
Reed and Jamua, maybe it’s Ulta.
As three people who were now in their third year, they had no choice but to expend their stamina and magical power just by chasing Leo’s speed.
“I guess I should thank Carl.”
Abad looked at the potion bottle and smiled bitterly.
“It’s helpful that we sold a large quantity of potions before winter break in case something happens during the break.”
‘ah. well. Are you selling it specially just for you? Put it away. Put it away. Don’t you know about the special sale? There’s a saying that it’s okay to be invincible~’
“It happened to me too. “They said they were selling it specially just for me.”
“You said you were selling it specially just for me?”
Abad and Celia looked puzzled.
“They especially emphasized that something might happen to us… … That guy. “Sometimes I think he has real insight.”
After drinking the potion, Chelsea gurgled at Celia’s words. He took a breath and wiped his mouth.
“That’s just what I said.”
“what?”
“He said he had to deal with it, so he approached rich kids like that and sold it. “Carl’s potion is effective, but it has a short shelf life, right?”
Chelsea said indifferently.
“I’m sure there are more than one kid who suffered like you two.”
“That guy… … .”
Celia clenched her fists.
“But why does the potion Carl made have a short shelf life?”
Leo said as Abad waved the potion bottle in front of his eyes and made a puzzled expression.
“I guess it’s because I made it based on Dweno’s recipe.”
“huh?”
Leo said without taking his eyes off the Plov territory.
“It’s a recipe created by God’s blacksmith during the Age of Calamity. Since the potion itself will not be stored for a long time, the focus would have been on efficacy rather than storage period.”
“iced coffee.”
“Though Carl seems to be improving on that front.”
Clearly, Carl was steadily conducting research based on Dweno’s alchemy book.
“Seeing you chatting, you seem very relaxed? Juniors.”
At that time, Jamua approached the four people.
Leo said while looking at Jamua like that.
“It’s better to be a little relaxed than to be too nervous.”
“It certainly is.”
Jamua, who said that, turned his head with slightly worried eyes.
A place far away from where the group is taking a short rest.
There, Reese was glaring at Plov Estate with an expressionless face.
The current lease was different from usual.
Reese usually had a gentle and gentle expression.
But now, Reese looked like a firework ready to explode at any moment.
It feels like it’s going to burn just by touching it.
“Torua-senior, are you okay?”
Chelsea asked cautiously.
Jamua’s face darkened at that question.
“It’s not life-threatening. But I can’t find consciousness. And I lost my magic.”
“… … .”
For a wizard, losing magical power is like a death sentence.
Chelsea bit her lip.
I am not angry simply because a senior at school was wronged.
Any magic student who went to school with her has no choice but to respect Torua.
Torua’s passion for magic.
Even though he was in the 5th year, Torua enjoyed visiting his juniors and discussing magic without hesitation.
The sight of Torua, always with sparkling eyes and heated discussions about magic, was still in my mind.
It was as if the magic had been taken away from Torua.
“I can’t forgive you.”
While Chelsea was muttering blankly, Ulta called out to Leo.
“Leo.”
“yes.”
“I think I need to make sure before I go. Reese is not normal right now. So Reese… … “I want you to give us clear instructions on what to do.”
“Are you okay?”
Ulta nodded to Leo’s question.
“As a knight, a wizard, and a summoner. You are better than anyone here. “There is nothing strange about receiving your command again.”

There is clearly a trap lurking.
Battle is an unavoidable situation.
Therefore, after entering Plov Territory, Leo planned to leave the decision regarding the battle to Reese, Jamua, and Ulta.
I thought that no matter how overwhelming their skills were, the three of them would not be comfortable taking orders from their juniors.
‘Because even if I don’t interfere, they’ll do well.’
However, Ulta was reluctant to entrust the command to Leo.
‘To be precise, it means asking them to decide what they should do.’
The reason for this trouble was simple.
This was to prevent any unexpected runaway of leases.
Even in Leo’s opinion, the current atmosphere in Reese was unusual.
‘I’m sure he’s a person who will keep his responsibilities even if he’s on the verge of losing his temper due to anger. ‘If we create a minimum line, we can prevent runaway traffic.’
According to Ulta, that was Leo’s order.
“Why is Mr. Reese so angry?”
Of course, it was only natural for me to be angry as my best friend, who had been with me since first grade, had suffered this.
But Reese was a man who had the courage to keep his cool even in situations like this.
Reese’s anger now was definitely different from usual.
Ulta said in response to Leo’s question.
“It’s because of love.”
“love?”
Leo looked momentarily confused by the sudden words of Ulta, who always spoke of love.
“okay. The two are in a romantic relationship. Moreover, there are two children in Torua’s stomach right now.”
“Phew!”
Celia, who was recovering her stamina by drinking a potion, unknowingly squirted what she was drinking at Abad.
“S-sorry. I was so surprised… … !”
“No, I completely understand.”
Abad said as if he was okay, wiping his face with the handkerchief that Celia gave him.
“You must be out of your mind.”
Leo nodded.
“Then let’s come up with a plan.”
“lease! “Operation Hoehee!”
Reese approached Jamua’s words.
“Before we plan a plan, I have something to say.”
When Reese opened his mouth, everyone except Leo looked at him with tense eyes.
It would have been difficult to say that he would handle Hero Slayer himself.
It is unknown how strong Hero Slayer is.
However, as it was an entity that slaughtered numerous heroes in the past, it was clear that it would be difficult for anyone here except Leo to handle it.
“What is it?”
“The situation in Plov Territory is strange right now.”
Ulta tilted her head at those words.
“It doesn’t seem much different from when I came last summer.”
Of course, there is a hero slayer in there.
But for now, it was a quiet and peaceful country estate, nothing more or less.
“okay. That’s strange. After last year’s incident, the Plov Territory became the land where the hero Aron returned and subdued the Fragments of Erebos. “There are even people who see this place as a sacred place.”
Everyone except Leo opened their eyes wide at those words.
It was definitely as he said.
It was a quiet country estate until last year, but not anymore.
“yes. “Currently, Hero Slayer is in complete control of that place.”
‘Mel contacted me. ‘Yesterday morning, contact with the dragons in Plov territory was suddenly lost.’
The Plov estate is now a special place.
As such, the dragons are also hiding their identities to protect Plov Territory.
Contact with those dragons was lost.
“As much as he is holding the people of Plov Territory hostage. The six of you, please focus on rescuing the territory’s residents. It won’t be easy. “It could have attracted the forces of Tartarus.”
Ulta nodded at Leo’s words.
“What about Jinyoung?”
At those words, Leo drew up his camp.
“Why am I in the rear?”
Reese asked in a cold voice.
The others looked at Leo with tense faces.
“It’s the most difficult position right now.”
“… … .”
At Leo’s words, Reese looked at the camp Leo had formed.
Jamua was in charge of the vanguard moving to the front line.
Celia and Chelsea assisted Jamua.
Ulta took on the role of supporting the front and rear in the middle.
And in the rear, the wizard Abad took his place.
If you are on a dead end or in a situation where you need to move forward, there is no need to be careful behind you.
However, the party is currently in the middle of enemy territory and is settling down.
Then someone was needed to guard the rear.
For any party, it’s over if the wizard in the back is defeated.
Therefore, the rear area had no choice but to receive concentrated attacks.
In the current situation, Reese, a knight class with strong attack and defense, was the best person to defend the rear.
“What about Hero Slayer?”
“I hit it alone.”
“… … .”
Reese took a breath at those words and then nodded.
“I get it.”
In my heart, I wanted to attack Hero Slayer with Leo.
but… … .
‘Did Celia’s classmates feel this way?’
Reese burst out laughing.
Leo’s eyes spoke sternly.
‘It’s still too early for you.’
Leo told us all about situations that could occur in Plov Territory and preparation measures.
Hearing that, Reese looked down at his hands.
‘There’s still a long way to go.’
***
After planning the strategy, Leo entered the Plov territory without hesitation.
And the moment you rush in.
What greeted Leo and his group was a powerful wave of magical energy.
Leo’s eyes twitched.
‘What is this magic power?’
It was the familiar magical power of a dragon.
And the Dragon Word magic embodied by that magical power was also familiar to Leo.
A magic created based on the curse used by the demons of Tartarus.
‘Nightmare.’
One of the unique magics of Lisinas, the King of Wisdom.
It was an illusion magic that made you fight enemies you didn’t want to fight.
‘Plus, the magic has been repaired.’
Leo quickly analyzed the magic.
“Kyle… … .”
Lisinas appeared in front of Leo, just as it had been used by Riven, the vice principal of Rumern, before.
“why… … “Are you the only one who survived?”
Lisinas looked at Leo with hatred as he was covered in blood.
“Why are you the only one who survives and enjoys life? I wanted to enjoy it too! “An era of peace!”
Leo drew his sword without saying a word.
That moment.
Sreuk-
The darkness that suddenly spread out engulfed Lisinas’ illusion.
Leo paused at that.
The entire space suddenly distorted and a path opened up.
‘Magic failure? no. This!’
Leo, who had a puzzled expression on his face, shook off his distracting thoughts.
‘Let’s get out first.’
Before throwing myself into the distorted space.
Leo looked back.
Woe!
As soon as I got out of the spell, what I saw was the Plov family’s mansion.
“Welcome, Leo Plov.”
And standing there was a beautiful woman with black hair and red eyes.
This was Raina in her younger days.
“My name is Zorua Iner! The hero slayer you guys are talking about… … .”
Sigh-!
Leo decapitated Zorua without hesitation.
At that moment, Zorua’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
“To stab someone who looks like your mother without hesitation!”
Leo tilted his head crookedly, looking at Zorua’s shocked head.
“What is that?”
