E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 68 - The Other Side

"Well.... Huh.... Huh...."

Leo looked so frightened as soon as he saw that. Something he shouldn't be able to see, but somehow he can see it.

And the figure that was on top of the pile of corpses that was as high as the mountain and the sea of blood....

'The Demon King Valkazar.... Is that him? But his appearance was....'

Leo can no longer think clearly at this time. The only best thing he could do was to regulate his breathing and control the fear within him.

He doesn't want to make anyone worry. That was why Leo quickly hid his figure like this.

After all, saying that he had just seen a figure who was either right or wrong as a demon lord would only cause a great panic.

'I don't know what just happened. But I guess.... For now, I better not tell the others.'

After his breathing stabilized, as well as his heartbeat, Leo finally began to rethink this incident with a cold head.

Meanwhile....

...- Eastfort -...

In the middle of a room with a fairly large and long table, dozens of people with different types of clothes appeared to attend this meeting.

Ranging from merchants, guild masters, warrior commanders, even to nobles.

Their entire attention was fixed towards a bespectacled woman with those purplish black hair. He is none other than Feris, one of the 8 known heroes in this world.

"Based on reports from the expedition squad led by the three other heroes Alex, Brian and Amelia, a major battle is going on in the Demon King's territory.

The reason for the war itself is still unknown. But one thing is clear, the troops we have been fighting are only a small part of their strength.

Therefore, I ask all of you to give as much material and human resources as possible to increase the military power of this kingdom. Then to...."

...'BZZTT!!!'...

In a moment, Feris felt an extremely sharp headache. His vision blurred with hundreds of images that seemed to be made one at the same time. And so too with the loud screams.

Reflexively, his left hand immediately held onto his head. Trying to ease that pain with light-level healing magic. While the look of his own eyes seemed to be sharp.

His deep body was momentarily filled with a sensation filled with negative emotions and also that hatred started to go limp. Even Feris had to bend his knees on the ground just by looking at it.

Seeing that incident, everyone who was inside this room immediately stood up. Trying to help Feris.

"Miss Ferris?!"

"What's going on?!"

"Help...."

But Feris immediately raised his right hand. He hinted to everyone to stay calm, and that he was fine.

The greenish light that emerged from his left hand gently enveloped part of his head. Fading the pain he felt at this moment.

'What kind of sight is that? And who is he? Then.... Why is he looking at me? No, is he really talking to me, or....'

Feris's thoughts were currently mixed. But he immediately arrested him and continued this meeting to discuss the increase in the number of troops by spreading the various doctrines of strong nationalism. Including basic education to instill hatred against Satan as much as possible.

"Well.... Ii'm sorry. Now, for the next step...."

Shortly before Feris continued his words, one of the nobles who had a strong influence in supporting Feris immediately cut off his words.

"Miss Ferris, get some rest. We already understand what you want. Didn't we?" Asked the noble while giving an intimidating look to everyone in this room.

"Of course we understand."

"I-I guess you could say...."

Staring at those who looked hesitant, the noble asked once more.

"I asked, you all understand, right? I speak to you, voracious merchants of wealth. If you can hold back that worldly desire for a moment, man will be in a better condition than this. You understand?!"

"All right.... Well then, I think this meeting is enough to get here. You can all disband." Feris said with an appearance that currently looks so forced.

His legs were trembling, his breathing was irregular, while cold sweat continuously poured out all over his body.

He sat back in his chair and put his head on the table.

'What feeling is this.... I don't know why.... I felt something really bad with that look.... A human? But that pile of bodies.... Aren't they all Devils? And a horn on his left forehead....'

Feris strives to string together everything he has just seen. He did not understand at all the reason for the appearance of the sight and the sound of the cry on him.

But one thing can be ascertained by him.

That view looks so real, as if it were right there. So there's no way that it's just a hallucination.

Just as everyone was starting to disperse, Feris glanced at the nobleman who had just supported him earlier.

"Duke Theodore, can you come in here for a second?" Pinta Feris with a faint voice and a pale face.

"Of course, Miss Feris. Can I help you? All my people in Eastfort Province have always supported you." Said the Duke or Duke level noble so politely while bowing his body.

"Was.... Did you see anything just now?" Ask Feris.

"Something? What do you mean?" Theodore asked in confusion.

He did not understand at all what Feris meant by 'seeing' something. But without diminishing the slightest bit of respect, he asked her back politely.

"Visitors in the night sky, under the crescent moon.... A sea of blood and a mountain-high pile of corpses.... And the cries of thousands of suffering souls.... You didn't see him?" Feris asked with just a millik towards Theodore.

After thinking about it and remembering it for a moment, the Duke Theodore came to a single conclusion.

"I'm sorry, Miss Feris. But I really didn't see anything. But.... That sight.... What the hell is going on? Does it have anything to do with your previous attitude?" Ask Theodore back.

Feris who was still a little limp was only able to glance at the bluish-haired man's face with a suit of armor that also had a blue complexion.

"Is that so? Then.... Please ask someone to call Alicia here. There's something I want to make sure of." Ferris Saying.

"By soon, Miss Feris."

Duke Theodore who had bent his body with his right hand crossed in his chest immediately got up and walked towards the exit.

His manner that was so polite just now instantly changed drastically into a figure that was as hard and firm as before.

"The order of Miss Ferris! Find Miss Alicia and tell her that Miss Feris called her here! I'll look for him too!" Theodore cried out to the few soldiers who stood guard around the building inside this Eastfort fortress.

"Ready, go!"

A few moments passed in silence, while Feris was currently feeling the thing he hated the most. It is a feeling of helplessness.

While he was still contemplating what he had just seen....

"Feris, did you call me? What's up?" Alicia asked who had come to this room. His face looked so confused by Feris' unusual attitude.

"You.... Did you see anything just now? Like a pile of bodies and a loud scream?" Ask the still-laxed Feris.

But the expression from Alicia's face could only be described with one word. That's confusion.

"Hmm? I didn't see or hear anything. Besides, what do you mean by that?" Ask Alicia back.

"That's how it is...."

At this moment, Feris was awakened. Perhaps the vision was not limited to heroes alone. That was because Alicia who was also a hero from the Goddess Cyrese like herself also did not see the scene.

Then.... What exactly did he just see? And why did he see her?

Right now, in order to prevent the mass panic over his baseless words, Feris decided to solve the mystery alone.

Without realizing it, Leo also saw the exact same scene. And vice versa.
