E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 144 - Sacrifice

"What do you mean.... Valkazar is also probably a soul sent from another world like me?" Leo asked with a facial expression that looked so frightened.

All this time, He knew and believed that Valkazar was a naturally born Devil in this world.

Even Goddess Cyrese once said that the status of this world changed drastically from C level to SS level suddenly. All of that happened shortly after the mysterious appearance of Valkazar.

Or at least....

That was what Goddess Cyrese had delivered through Igor during this time. And knowing that maybe he was a human being?

No. gabe....

Maybe it was someone from another world just like her? The fact is certainly quite heavy to be accepted by Leo at once.

While Narla who was beside the two of them could only shut up. Listen to whatever is being talked about in front of him.

He doesn't care much. As long as he can avenge the Devil, he will have no problems.

Now, still with his serious face, Egalathia also replied.

"Most likely, he's just like you. But I don't know if you're from the same world."

After being forced to accept the fact, Leo now asked again.

"Why choose me?"

With a smile back on her face, Egalathia replied to Leo's question.

"The world will end sooner or later. With me or without me. If there was even the slightest chance of delaying the end of this world, namely by killing Valkazar, I would gladly give my life.

And you, Leo.... You're the only person who has the power to do that. With your unique magic abilities, and all the knowledge you have, at least you have the worthiness to try them." Egalathia was clearly in such a soft voice.

Leo, who had been living in the shadow of her E rank, was even affirmed by the Goddesses in existence....

I never thought I would take on this much responsibility.

All he wanted was a peaceful world. A happy world for him to live and enjoy the rest of his life.

He never complained about his weakness. And never demanded to have more than what the heavens had given him.

Even so, he never stopped fighting. And this time....

When he is given the opportunity to gain immense strength to fulfill all his dreams....

Leo was silent.

He remained silent in confusion. Don't know how to respond.

"Am I.... Really worth it?" Ask Leo again.

"A worthy question or not, I decide. As for the matter of whether or not you can harness my power, you alone will determine."

In the end, Leo asked for further explanation regarding this power. Where Egalathia gladly accepted it.

For starters, Egalathia is the purest form of Mana which has a very high density. It was so high and so pure that it made him born a new consciousness.

But that didn't make him forget the beginning. That is Mana itself.

In other words, giving all of his Mana to Leo, would make his entire consciousness disappear right then and there.

While Leo's own body, even though it has obtained many modifications from his Enchantment, will only last for 5 minutes in using such a large Mana capacity.

Egalathia explained, there would not be a single living being in this world that could withstand a Mana of this magnitude for more than 30 minutes. Except Valkazar.

Where Egalathia once thought of destroying it by making a Mana explosion in Valkazar's body. But he immediately broke his intention where he saw Valkazar being able to control the entire Mana in the Sacred Lake with just his finger.

But Egalathia won't give it to him at this very moment. But he will fall asleep in the empty Mana Leo core.

Waiting for Leo's command at the right time to release all the energy he has.

As another aid, Egalathia also gave one thousandth of her strength to Narla.

"It is a great honor to receive this power from my God." Reply Narla who is now all over her body began to glow.

His curse as a Dark Elf was indeed unenforceable. But instead, Narla now had a Mana amount equivalent to 10 Mana capacities that Roselia had at once.

Of course, all of that will evaporate immediately and disappear within 1 week.

"I await your decision, O Man of the Other World. Will you accept this responsibility?" Ask Egalathia.

Leo kept thinking.

If this is the case, he still has the opportunity to return to the city of Venice and repeat everything from the beginning.

Or at least....

Seeing Reina and her two children once again.

But this golden opportunity won't come back. On one hand, most of the Demon troops were exiting the Silverhide region. On the other hand, they knew that Valkazar was still there.

If you talk about the chance to fight Valkazar one-on-one, this is probably the best chance.

But Egalathia reminded him again.

"I'm not forcing. If in doubt, I'll find another possible candidate. After all, my death was confirmed if you accepted my powers.

Your death? You'll decide for yourself, man. If you think the world is worth more than all you have in this world.... I'll be happy to help you."

In the end, Leo had decided on it.

A reina? Stella's? Marcus's? Rosellias? The artemis? Igor's? Ferris? Alicia's? And all his acquaintances in this world?

They'll all die if Leo doesn't act right now. Take this golden opportunity.

And worse again....

Perhaps the world will bow to Valkazar completely.

But if only....

If only he would be willing to abandon all that, and risk everything on this one occasion....

Maybe he could save it all.

"How much is our chance of victory?" Ask Leo who immediately got up from his seat. Stay with the gaze that keeps staring at the ground.

"Maybe it's only one-fifth, looking at the current situation." Egalathia replied quickly.

A smile started on Leo's face. He seemed to have thought of something to deal with this situation. Dozens of steps ahead.

"One-to-fifth you say? Ahaha!" Reply Leo with a laugh.

After a few moments of laughter, Leo returned to himself. With a confident look in his eyes, he looked towards Narla while asking.

"One to fifty he said. You're risking your life on this crazy thing? Which might never work?" Ask Leo.

Hearing the question, Narla also immediately got up from her seat and replied with a smile.

"A beautiful number to bet on. At least we know we have a chance to win. Not like before."

"You're right, Narla. You're so right.... So that's it, Egalathia. I'm sorry, but I'll make good use of your life. Just trust me."

With a very wide smile, Egalathia immediately replied to Leo's words while floating right into his body.

"Thank you, Man. No. gabe.... Leos. I will entrust my life to you. Just shout my name when you're ready to use it. Remember, just one chance 'cause I'm gonna die soon."

After that, Egalathia fully enters Leo's body. Fused with his soul as well as his broken Mana core.

Waiting for the right moment to be called by Leo.

And this time, with sufficient strength, and not enough time, Leo also accelerated his plans and journey.

"Narla, help me. We're going to make this space magic in a much larger version." Said Leo who immediately came out of the cave.

"The bigger version? Meanin?" Asked Narla who was still adjusting her body to her new strength.

"My point is, we're not keeping stuff in it. But inserting the Demon king himself into space magic. I will think about the design of his magic formation throughout the journey. Hurry, we don't have much time."

"Alright, I entrust everything to you." Reply Narla who also ran behind Leo.

Leaving the demon army line from the cliff side. Heading right to the Demon palace in this Elf land.
