796.
Kroong! Kwakang-!
“It looks like it’s going to rain.”
Balhar looked up at the lightning-filled sky, clicking his tongue and muttering.
The lofty Erdienne Mountains, located at the easternmost tip of the world.
A secret place where countless monsters appear.
5000 years ago.
The final destination of the great heroes, and the place where the hero of the beginning, Kyle, saved the world through his final battle with Erebos.
But it is no exaggeration to say that no one knows that fact now.
“It’s so sad that the greatest history in the world has been forgotten.”
Kar muttered with a bitter expression right in front of Mount Erdienne.
Kyle’s history was wiped clean by Tartarus.
A fake great hero who now exists only in legends.
There was no way the demons of Tartarus would mention that fact.
“The forgotten past can be restored. Aren’t we in this day and age?”
Balhar said calmly.
Great heroes who lived in the same era as Kyle and went on a journey together were reincarnated.
But even for the great heroes, it was difficult to immediately restore the forgotten story of Kyle to its original state.
To the four of them, Kyle is a close friend and a companion who has shared joys and sorrows with them.
And they are the final great heroes who saved the world by completing the tasks they were entrusted with.
But that’s only based on the standards of four people.
A long time, 5000 years, has already passed since that time.
Even if we take into account the era of the opening of the world, when Kyle’s records were kept, there are 3000 years of time.
Records and evidence are what make past events history rather than just stories.
No matter how much you talk about Kyle, if you can’t find any evidence of his existence, then Kyle is just a story.
“It would be easy if we just revealed that we were great heroes.”
Balhar sighed as Karga pouts his lips.
“Don’t you know very well that that’s not possible either?”
Balhar looked up at the sky.
There were no stars visible in the night sky covered with dark clouds.
“It’s a miracle that we were born in this era.”
It’s amazing that reincarnation exists, but it’s even more amazing that we’re born again into this world with our memories.
“Perhaps it is destiny that has us fulfill a mission we were unable to accomplish.”
“Isn’t it God’s will?”
“If the gods were that capable, we wouldn’t have to go through all that trouble.”
Balhar continued his speech with a sharp tone.
“But unfortunately, in the current world, there is no power that can completely end Tartarus.”
Compared to 5000 years ago.
The power of the world today is unparalleled.
“As far as I remember, the present age is more prosperous than the age of God.”
The age of heroes.
Through the power of an item called the Hero Record, countless heroes were born.
The strength that is accumulated is passed down to future generations, and the strength that is passed down in this way becomes even stronger.
A literal brilliant era.
“But even so, it is not a power that can completely overwhelm Tartarus.”
Balhar clicked his tongue.
The great heroes are slowly regaining their former strength.
But even so, the three great disasters that have survived since 5000 years ago – the Demon Queen, the Giant King, and the Demon King – are by no means easy beings.
If they decide to avoid fighting and hide in the darkness of the world, it will not be easy for even the great heroes to subdue them.
“The bottom line is that we still do not have the means to subdue Erebos.”
The primordial evil sealed somewhere in this world.
Even if Tartarus is completely subdued in this era, as long as the black embers remain, disaster will strike this world again someday.
“Unfortunately, the world cannot achieve perfect harmony.”
“I don’t understand that. 5000 years ago, everyone in the Garthron was of one mind and one heart.”
“At that time, the world was on the verge of destruction due to an unmanageable common enemy called Erebos.”
Balhar laughed bitterly.
“The era in which you were born and lived was, interestingly enough, the most harmonious time in the world. But even then, there were conflicts.”
It was Kyle who acted as a troubleshooter in the dark to resolve the dispute.
“It is difficult even for people of the same race to understand each other, so what about people of different races?”
Balhar lit the bear trap and put it in his mouth, puffing out smoke.
“We are the ones who can temporarily bring harmony to the world as symbols. However, that harmony will not last long. Therefore, we will reveal our identity only after we have obtained the power to completely destroy Erebos.”
“Then there’s not much left!”
“… … You. You’re strangely motivated. Are you sure everything’s okay?”
“What, what?”
It was when Balhar narrowed his eyes while looking at Kar, who had a stinging expression on his face.
Whirlyrick-
Leah descended from the sky and landed gently.
“Is there something on top of Mount Erdienne?”

“No. Nothing. Kar. Did you detect anything with your extrasensory senses?”
“no.”
Kar shook his head at Leah’s question.
Leah bit her fingernails in response.
“Erebos… … .”
He softly spit out his enemy’s name.
There was a deep hatred in that voice. Balhar said while looking at Leah like that.
“Leah. If the thought of Erebos exists… doesn’t that mean there’s a high probability that the fragment of Erebos has opened its eyes?”
“… … .”
Leah, who had been silent, answered Balhar’s question.
“There is a chance of that, but… … there is also a high chance of it not being the case.”
“Then why did Erebos’s thoughts suddenly appear?”
“Erebos himself is a being equivalent to a god. It is possible that he left behind a thought when he was defeated by Kyle. That thought may have suddenly opened its eyes.”
“hmm…….”
Balhar asked the bear.
“If the fragments of Erebos were resurrected… … would we be able to subdue them with our own strength now?”
“… … .”
Leah fell silent at Balhar’s question, then sighed.
“Overwhelming them is possible. We haven’t yet regained our former strength… … but Erebos isn’t in a normal state either.”
“But subjugation is impossible?”
“huh.”
“The seal?”
“It is possible.”
“On Hero Records?”
“No. There are runes.”
“Rune?”
“She’s definitely lost her passion for magic, but that doesn’t change the fact that she’s Luna Rubinance.”
“Well… … he’s the greatest genius since magic existed.”
Balhar nodded.
“Just in case, I said I was making a spell that could seal the Erebos fragments. However… … .”
“but?”
“Even with the current rune, it’s only one piece.”
“Hmm.”
Balhar nodded.
“So, what I’m saying is that there is a way to put out a fire in an emergency.”
“huh.”
“I understand. I will also try to create a weapon that can defeat Erebos as quickly as possible.”
Balhar nodded.
Thud- thud- thud-
Then raindrops started to fall.
Leah and Balhar opened the subspace and took out the umbrella.
“Car, take it.”
Leah handed an umbrella to Kar, who was blankly staring up at the sky.
“Car?”
But Karr just looked up at the night sky with pouring rain with a stern face.
“The smell of rain… is strange.”
“what?”
Leah looked puzzled at Kar’s sudden words.
“The rain smells like smoke.”
Kar’s face hardened.
“Like 5000 years ago.”
At those words, Leah and Balhar’s faces hardened.
Shh …
The color of the rain began to change little by little.
It was night, but Leah and Balhar, who had vision close to that of a transcendent being, if not on the level of Kar, could see the change in color with their own eyes.
“Black rain… … .”
I don’t know if black rain would be something very unfamiliar to people of this era.
But to the three people here, it was more familiar than anything else.
At that moment, Kar’s eyes became sharp.
“… … is coming.”
Kwagagagagagagang-!
“Growling!”
A roar echoed from one place on Mount Erdienne.
At the same time, a giant arm rose up as if piercing the sky.
Balhar’s eyes widened when he saw that.
“… … Giant King?”
“Ghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Kwagagagagang-!
The Giant King’s arm swung, destroying the surrounding area.
Leah, out of the attack range, floated into the air with her umbrella.
And then he squinted his eyes.
“……warrant?”
The Giant King was not your usual Giant King.
A larger body than usual, with bulging veins, and even a loss of reason.
Leah knew exactly what it was.
Berserker was the power that Erebos bestowed upon the giant king Giath.
‘The legion commanders must have lost their powers after Erebos was defeated, so they are using them?’
Moreover, the Giant King who used his power was different from the one the great heroes knew.
‘Reason has completely disappeared. Only the instinct for destruction remains.’
Leah, who had seen Geass’s gleaming eyes, assessed the situation with cold eyes.
Giant King Geass.
He is the largest of the legion commanders and calls himself the leader of the assault team.
But his character and prudence were the best of all the legion commanders.
If asked to name the most difficult legion commander to subdue, Rhea would choose not the Commander-in-Chief of Tartarus, the Necromancer, or Jormungandr, one of her worst enemies, but the Giant King.
Even if you use Berserker, you won’t lose your sanity to that extent.
Leia, who had been squinting her eyes, suddenly realized that there was something above Geass’ head and her eyes widened.
A mine engulfed in black flames was thrusting what appeared to be a sword into the Giant King’s head.
‘… … The thought of Erebos.’
The idea behind fighting Balhar was clear.
Leah, who had thought that far, opened the hand that was not holding the umbrella.
“Growling!”
Geass roared and charged towards Leah.
“Titanium.”
Kugagagagang-!
As Leah called out to her allies, a giant rock hand shot up through the ground.
bang-!
A rock giant rising from the ground stopped Geass.
Kwagagagagang-!
The terrain began to change as the Giant King and the Great Spirit of the Earth fought each other.
“Balhar.”
Leah, who had blocked the giant king’s charge, softly called Balhar’s name.
Whoaahhh-!
Along with him, Balhar, holding a huge golden axe in the sky, flew towards Giath like a comet.
Hurrrurruk-
Golden flames burned from Balhar’s body.
“Haaaaaap!”
Bam-!
As soon as Balhar shouted, Battle Axe blew off Geass’ head.
Phew-!
Blood poured out.
But that wasn’t the end.
Flash-!
There was a flash of golden light.
A feast of golden lines embroidering the sky.
Kar’s sword strike tore Geass’s body apart without leaving a trace.
Phew-!
Blood and flesh poured out like waves.
Even if he was the King of Giants, his charge intoxicated with power was nothing more than an act of suicide in front of the three great heroes.
‘But it’s too easy.’
Leah looked puzzled.
at that time.
“Leah! Balhar! This Geass! It’s strange!”
Karga shouted urgently.
“This Geass doesn’t seem to be the Geass of this era!”
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s the Geass from 5000 years ago! It smells different!”
Kar’s urgent voice.
Leah quickly turned her gaze to find the black flame mine.
Something appeared in the hand of the black flame mine.
‘Hero Records?’
The moment Leah opened her eyes wide.
The sparks went out.
At that moment, Leah’s face hardened at the sight of a familiar face.
Erebos’s thought, disguised as Kyle, quickly laughed and grabbed the Hero Record fragment.
At the same time, the hero record glowed and the Giant King popped out again.
Leah’s face distorted when she saw that.
‘You’re pulling out the past existence from the hero records?!’
