"So.... What does Dewi Cyrese want to say?" Ask Leo in a flat tone. His eyes were only able to stare into the sky looking at that beautiful sea of stars.
After smoking and exhaling his cigarette, Igor just answered Leo's question.
"There are some, good and bad things. Where do you want to hear first?" Igor asked as he immediately returned to smoking his cigarette.
"bad." Reply Leo briefly.
"Faulia.... She said, Goddess Ceries won't be able to contact you anymore due to points or anything that has reached the maximum limit on you." Obviously Igor.
Leo who heard it was no longer surprised. He had guessed that it was most likely that the reason that the Goddess could not contact any more of the 8 heroes who, along with Feris, were closely related to the fact that they had been in this world for a long time.
But before Leo could reply to that word....
"And you, blonde girl. Is your Goddess Silphi or something? The wounds on your body are the result of his reckless actions. The wound will only disappear if you return the point or something.
Hm.... True, he said as long as you continue to hunt Devils and Monsters, your wounds will heal slowly. They say big debt points or something? I don't know, but the point is your goddess is dying there too." Obviously Igor is long.
This time, he had even forgotten to smoke his cigarette in the midst of his long explanation.
While Leo and Reina themselves can only be surprised instead of playing. How not? They were only aware of the fact that the Goddess Silvie was even in a bad state.
"Goddess.... I'm sorry...." Reina said as she set her eyes on the ground.
'Plak!'
A light blow from Igor hit Reina's head. It made her feel a little pain, but nothing more.
"Stupid. Hasn't it been said that as long as you hunt down many monsters, the wounds on your body and your Goddess will heal on their own? Rather than being pitiful like that, you better keep swinging your sword." Igor.
His words are right.
If indeed Reina's wounds could only be healed by returning some points that were somehow that many, then the only thing she could do was to continue hunting.
But in Leo's mind....
'The goddess? Dying up? Actually was.... What are they?' Ask Leo in his own heart.
After that, he immediately returned to reality. Ask if there is a continuation of that bad message.
"Is that all? Bad news?" Ask Leo.
"Well, I remember that's all. The goddess also said that she would deliver another message through me." Obviously Igor.
"Good indeed. So, what's the good news?" Ask Leo curiously.
Reina is also seen putting on a face full of question marks. Awaiting the good news what makes them have to meet this figure named Igor.
After smoking his cigarette until it was almost finished, Igor replied while exhaling the cigarette smoke.
"Pbuuuh..... Peacefulness. The Goddess said, the Demon territory is in a great mess right now. And there was a great civil war. According to him, mankind will have peace in about 5 to 10 years." Obviously Igor.
Reina and Leo's eyes opened wide. They both did not expect that the good news would be this big.
However, Leo felt he had a bad feeling. It was arguably the worst feeling of his life.
'What is this? Wasn't this incident too close to my previous vision? Is there a connection? Is.... Can the world be at peace in that time?' Ask Leo in his heart.
He felt that the connection between his vision of the pile of corpses and the demons standing on it, and the news of the battle in the Demon territory was very close.
To confirm it once again, Leo asked Igor.
"Igor.... Are you serious about that?" Ask Leo.
"Yes, I don't remember at all wrong. Goddess Saras or whatever it is said if this is a golden opportunity for mankind. A golden opportunity to vote strengthens solidarity and prepares for the next war....
Or a golden opportunity to directly attack the Devil's territory at this very moment. Well, although the second choice was a little too careless." Obviously Igor lit a new cigarette.
Leo also agreed with Igor.
If the great chaos had indeed struck the Demon territory, then this was a golden opportunity to attack them at this very instant.
But it could also reverse course and make the union of the warring demons become stronger. Because they have one enemy in common: humans.
In other words....
'The wisest choice right now is to just stand by while they fight.... Feris, are you aware of this?' Leo asked back to himself in his heart.
"Leos.... What are we gonna do?" Ask Reina.
"What do you mean?"
Meanwhile, Igor just fell silent while enjoying his cigarette. Indicates that it is the last information entrusted by Goddess Cyrese.
"Well, you're right. I'll send him a letter later on his arrival in town. Of course, I would say that the person who claimed to be the hero told me that. I'm sorry, but I don't want to get involved in that dangerous thing." Reply Leo.
"Then I agree. I just want to live peacefully enjoying what we have right now. If the time comes, maybe we'll also raise our swords against them."
The answer from Reina itself seemed to state that He wanted to fight on the front lines. But he didn't want to do it because he already had what he wanted in this world.
Hearing that answer, Leo also felt a little guilty.
His coming to this world was certainly to save this world from the Devil.
But himself....
Just thinking about enjoying a peaceful life that seems like a time bomb itself. He knew how peaceful his life was in this world, that one day Satan would arrive before him.
Slaughtering everything known and built.
At that moment, Igor began to speak again.
"I don't care what they do. I no longer want to be someone else's dog. But as a form of thanks to this Goddess Syarus.... I'll help him take care of humanity as much as I can. Isn't that what it is?"
The answer from Igor immediately enlightened what Leo had needed.
He always wanted to live in peace. Forgetting his responsibility as a hero to fight the Devil.
But in reality it's not like that.
Whatever happens, he is still a hero who is called to save this world.
No one asked him to fight on the front lines like any other hero.
No one forced him to give his life to the demons.
All that is asked is to save the world. No more and no less. And also.... Even the goddess will not be able to decide what way the hero will use.
"I think I'm starting to understand all this. I will also protect this world in my own way. But I won't if I have to fight that dangerous Demon King.” Said Leo while laughing lightly.
Hearing that answer, Reina seemed to be smiling with satisfaction. It was as if his heart that had always wanted to save others was shouting happily.
And Igor?
He just continued to smoke his cigarette while making a thin smile.
"Aah, that's right too. Mr. Igor, we haven't met further. If you can tell, where did you come from on earth? I'm from England myself, a student." Asked Reina who immediately changed the subject.
"I'm from Indonesia, a drink seller...." Leo's words follow this flow of speech.
"Pbuwuh.... Russia, war veterans." Igor answered while exhaling his cigarette smoke.
"By the way, were you sent here after you died too?" Igor continued his words.
"Well, I was in an accident trying to help someone." Reina replied while directing her gaze to the ground.
"What about you, boy?" Igor asked Leo.
"Shredded by thieves when I tried to help someone...."
After hearing both answers, Igor seemed to smoke his cigarette deeply enough before answering.
"Pbuwuh.... We seem similar." Igor.
"What do you mean?" Ask Leo and Reina at the same time.
Igor looked up at the sky as if he was trying to look back at the incident.
"There's a little girl on the battlefield. I asked her to run, but she just cried with her doll.... Dare not to step in one bit.
I don't know what I was thinking at the time, but I saved the girl and returned her home. Well.... Of course I will be killed because the girl lives in a country that is at war with us.
Haha.... If you remember back.... War is worse than hell. Not only those with foul hearts like me who died in it, but also those with holy hearts, were unilaterally dragged into its torment."
Leo and Reina did not expect it at all. That guy as big and strong as Igor....
It will even shed tears in front of the two of them.
"I hope.... The girl's fine now." Igor continued while throwing his cigarette butts away.
