After leaving Helios that night, Yasmin's figure could no longer be seen anywhere in the palace. Helios becomes worried and tries his hardest to find Yasmin again.
Around these times, there was a shocking news from the holy temple. A monk has discovered what appears to be an attempt to hide by the former great monk Vyndicta Eros. It was about the prophecy of who the hero's identity was.
During this time it was only known to the prophecy that ten thousand years since the Demon King was sealed, there would appear a legendary hero more powerful than any hero who had ever appeared in this world, including the first hero, who will succeed in uniting the Continent of Ernoa and then eradicate the Demon King for eternity.
Ever since Helios ruled over the whole of the Continent of Ernoa, monks have agreed to bury a related prophecy about the tyrant as something brought by the devil to mislead mankind about the emergence of heroes. However, the fact that the hero who awaited since ten thousand years ago will come is undeniable since his record is everywhere in any history book in various parts of the world.
Then regarding the record hidden by the former monk Vyndicta Eros, the contents stated that the identity of the hero turned out to be Damian.
This immediately caused an uproar because various previous prophecies stated that the hero who would appear had the same characteristics as the first hero and this was also clearly written in history on other continents so as not to it may have been a part that was also forged by the former monk Vyndicta Eros.
Unfortunately, they don't think in reverse. They are referring to the first hero who was faked by the former monk, no, by the demon Baal.
The first hero to successfully seal the Demon King ten thousand years ago was not the Rizard, but Aries.
Forgetting that, people now become convinced that the hero who will appear later should also be golden-haired, typical of the Meglovians, but golden-eyed, typical of the Vlonhard and Cabalcus. It is clear that Damian does not have these characteristics and that is now what makes the continental uproar.
However, Damian's father and mother, including Vierra herself, finally revealed a very surprising fact. This was about thirteen years ago when Damian was 11. Apparently at that age Damian experienced his first mana explosion which signified that he was one of the three chosen classes. But there was something strange, Damian's hair and eyes that were originally brown suddenly changed color to gold.
At that time, before everything was revealed by the public, there came one of the monks who declared that he would protect Damian, he was a hero prophesied ten thousand years ago, marked by the appearance of his golden eyes and golden hair. The monk gave a statement that he could know Damian's whereabouts as well as prophetic matters.
Damian was also given a decoction to suppress the amount of mana so as not to wander to a certain degree and that is when the color of Damian's hair and eyes changed back to brown.
The monk asked them to keep this secret well for Damian's own safety. At that time, the monk used Helios as an excuse. If the identity of the hero is known before it matures, then Helios the tyrant will surely come soon to take the life of the hero.
It was the monk who then brought Damian to the palace who with his connections managed to make Damian become one of the knights there. Thus, Damian will be able to grow into a mature hero.
The information was finally known, Damian then no longer held the sealed mana inside him and immediately released the sealed mana, the color of his hair and eyes that were originally brown turned to gold.
At that time, Damian revealed the secret he had been harboring about his class. It was not the swords master class, but rather the hero class, the evolutionary result of the champion class.
This is the peculiarity of the class system in the present where it can now only be known to the owner of the class in question since the artifact is even older than the age of the first hero and his party, the sword of Alsbringer, the sword of Alsbringer, the great sword of Toranium, the shield of Alkasa, the magic wand of Magenta, and the policy book of Liza had already disappeared from the continent when Apollo raged on the continent.
Of course for readers who know the story in full will soon find out the lie behind Damian's statement since the first hero is not Rizard, but Aries who does not have the color of eyes and golden hair. That means it's not true that Damian is the hero who was foretold.
Unfortunately, it has already been trusted by everyone on the continent. They had all been deceived by Baal's devilish concoction in the form of the monk Vyndicta Eros, even after his death. Uniquely, not only the ordinary people who believe the truth of the trick, even Damian actually also deceived by believing that he was the hero who was predicted.
After the prophecy was revealed, a few days later, Damian escorted by several famous paladins held an audience with the emperor. It was to enthrone him as the great paladin as someone who had been recognized by the holy temple as the long-awaited hero.
After all, this audience attracted a lot of attention since it was a meeting between the hero and the tyrant. It has been revealed that the monk Vyndicta has committed some forgeries against his prophecy, but no one knows for sure the truth.
No one knows for sure the truth and some still suspect Helios as the key owner of the truth the information has faked it. That is what makes everyone alert about the various events that might occur at the meeting of the two figures.
“Honor to his sun-bright majesty.”
“Enough, stop that useless greeting! Has it not been revealed that your deity is only a trap of the devil? You should start searching for the truth that has been buried by the devil and no longer use those depraved greetings.”
Helios immediately corrected the greetings of a paladin who was still using the old tradition of the devil's trap.
Damian also came forward to replace the paladin representatives to give greetings.
“Pardon the mistakes of the servant warriors, Your Majesty. Greetings servant to the figure of majesty, the leader of the Continent of Ernoa, His Majesty the Emperor Helios sun Meglovia.”
Damian appears to affirm the word ‘sun’ in the name that accompanies the Helios which if translated into the ancient language, it means the sun. It made Helios slightly shudder, but since she had neither justification nor reason to be angry at Damian, she held her irritation in her heart.
“Bless your head, honorable knight. I have received your warm greetings. Please convey the purpose of your arrival here.”
After that, beyond all expectations, everything went smoothly where Helios appointed Damian graciously as the great paladin and crowned him as the title of the hero.
But precisely because of the impression of Helios who was too friendly, the nobles who attended the audience felt his entire body tremble as if there would be a conspiracy that soon.
Damian as a hero was not what Helios thought at the time. Yasmin had been missing for two weeks, but Helios had not received any news from her relatives who were looking for her.
Plus Albert who was always with him, is now busy taking care of his wife who is seriously ill, also his relationship with Nunu which is not as smooth as it is about the incident of rejection in public, it is, including Alice who still felt bad about Helios who had killed Ilene, Helios' sister, even though it was to save the world from the vampire disaster, Helios now felt alone.
It is precisely now only Doctor Minerva who can be routinely visited in his forensic laboratory for the sake of simply burying a sense of solitude in him, helios has now occupied the peak of continental power which had long been the dream of the former emperor Ethanus.
“There is new research again, Doctor Minerva?”
“Ah, did Your Honor, if the heart transplant was done by moving the entire heart to the recipient after completely releasing his heart before. Not with a liver transplant. The patient will die immediately when the whole heart is removed and replaced with a new one, so the liver transplant is done while maintaining the old part of the liver.”
“What's weird about that?”
“Your Majesty knows about the concept of the soul? I hypothesize that whatever is called the soul that is the main sustainer of life whose position is equal to the crystal core stone for the monster is somewhere in that part of the heart. However, no matter how I dissected the heart in question, I still could not find anything in it. Isn't that weird?”
“You are the weird one, Doctor Minerva, for being able to have such thoughts.”
Although the chat was just something as simple as that, it had become a very valuable oasis for Helios who needed a friend.
But the peace of the Continent of Ernoa apparently did not last long. Right in the next month, the Northern Continent of Arteik was starting to be in an uproar by the appearance of a massive number of monsters. However it was different from the demons in the western continent. The monsters had wings, in the sense that the monster could cross into the Ernoa Continent in its south at any time.
