ISEKAI WORLD IS HARD LIFE
IGNORANCE

(In the Place of the Corpse of the Sword Demon King)

I think I've managed to master the demon sword Gram. The power of Gram is not in doubt but I think I fit this weapon.

"Please put down the sword Mr. Loid" Helena ordered

The knights surrounded me like they wanted to attack.

"Eh why? I'm okay"

"That's not the case, maybe that's why I don't think you're human. The creature that can hold the thing is only a demon, even demons have some conditions to use it"

"So the point is you want to say I'm the devil?"

"Of course!, all of you be careful. Arrest him and drag him to the palace" the Knight General was always in a hurry

I put the sword back, though,

"Look, there's nothing. Besides let me explain, because I don't have any where I can hold it"

"That might be true but still what about the sword curse? You should be in pain and dead by now"

"Stop making horrible jokes like that" I said

I still don't want to tell about the spirit technique's ability. Otherwise they might be watching over me more, it would be better if I racked my brain even more.

"Ah it's because of my luck, besides that I'm a tofu swordsman. So it's possible that the curse has no effect"

I don't know if they'll believe it or not but I better run away soon.

"We're not going to believe it" Chris said

"Mr Loid can you come with us to the capital to discuss this?"

Sure enough I can't get away with it easily. Actually I want to cooperate with the heroes but the Demon King I have defeated so the task is done.

"I'm sorry that I can't do it" I refused

"Did you know that saying that would be the same as opposing the kingdom?"

We already disagree, so it's better that I avoid trouble.

"Well if that's me I don't know, I just want to live a quiet life. If you bother me. I'll kill you!" threaten me

Helena as a hero is starting to see me as dangerous. But I want to know how powerful the hero is, I want to try to deal with it.

"Your Lord Loid will be withheld, please follow us peacefully otherwise I will do so by force"

"You know I'm not really a hero or a good person. I just want a quiet life now"

"Then there's no choice, I'll force you"

Helena also pulled out a sword from the scabbard, a sword of legend to face the Demon King. Fire Sword's weapon from the fire god to the hero he chose.

"Hero, ah no, Princess if you get hurt or maybe die it's not my fault"

"All of you stay away, well I'll start Mr. Loid" Helena told the soldiers and residents

"Loid!, just call me Loid, Helena"

"Alright Loid, let's fight"

The silence felt for a while, I knew the aura he was giving off was very strong and hot. I knew from the beginning that he was a serious man.

"O you blazing fire, burn my opponent, burn the Flame!"

With Gram, I'm facing Helena. The fire attack was me tangling with Gram.

"It looks like this sword is quite powerful"

"Hyaaaaa" Helena attacked for a sword fight

"Tin...Ting...Ting...Sing.." the sound of the twang of the sword clashed

Helena herself was serious about this fight, as I took her distance she threw magic.

"Flame Fire!"

Time to fend it off, I just avoid that magic. Although all things happened, his strength was much different from Gara's. If he fights Gara maybe he will be balanced.

"Is this just the hero's ability?! Really weak!"

Hearing me say that Helena's face turned hideous. True, he was serious from the start but he had no killing intent.

"Show all your strength"

"Fire magic brackets my opponent to be scorched, prison fire! O blazing fire burn my enemies with your strength....Fire Shoot!"

He made a wall of fire to lock me up and attack me in it. Pretty good plan, but if it goes against Gara it won't work. Magic doesn't affect him because of Ability Strength, except high-level fire magic.

Then his sword style is very easy to guess. Using a wooden twig overgrown with damned energy alone I can defeat him.

"Spirit Technique, Dimension Space"

Helena's fire magic that attacked Loid exceeded the fire magic fired by the demonic witch, Luva.

But all of it was in vain if it did not hit the target, before the attack approached Loid moved into the dimensional space with spirit techniques.

Dimensional space itself is a storage space in an empty dimension or a place created through space distortion makes connecting one place to another.

For Loid it was just an ordinary trick, but for Helena the surprise made her spirit decrease. He knew that if Loid was the one who defeated the Demon King, then the power was much stronger than him.

"So it was a pretty impressive attack"

"Now I'm sure that you're the one who defeated Gara. But how did you avoid that attack?"

"That's my secret, I won't tell you. Is your turn over, then change roles. Spirit Technique, Summoning technique, White Tiger, Tora"

I called Tora even though I should have called Garuda but I think it's better to keep some cards from the opponent.

Besides Tora I took my Nunchaku from the dimensional space. Right now I just have to find a chance to escape but before that I will defeat Helena so that she knows the difference in strength.

"My turn, Tora!" Tora attacked Helena

Helena herself was surprised when I called out to a tiger. Even so I knew he was a little afraid, I would use that little time to attack and escape.

"O fire that burns, burn it all nonstop, Blind Fire"

A new magic spell shocked me, it still holds another magic apparently. Blind Fire is a magic fire shot in a row, Helena herself is able to fire 7 times.

Helena should have known the difference in abilities, but she returned to shooting Blind Fire magic even up to 10 times.

"Ah shit. Tora!"

Helena who was focused on attacking did not see Tora behind her. Tora quickly overpowers Helena, thus stopping the magic.

"Huuu is done already, how is the princess? Then shall I order my friend to swallow your head?"

"It's really funny, but it's not over. The Phoenix Flame Cloak!"

A suit of fire was worn on Helena's body, making her strength increase even Tora was blown away and burned by it.

"Oh right, how much more magic do you have?"

"What's up, getting scared now?. With this robe increases my strength to 10-fold. It's an heirloom of Re-El's work"

This time it will become more difficult, I better not waste much of the curse energy and time. I have to save all the curse energy for the future.

"Actually I want to take you alive but it doesn't seem like death is a problem either"

"That's gonna be a problem for me, then go ahead!"

Helena flew towards me at full speed, even the soil and plants she passed by became dry. If I get a little bit of meat, I'll be grilled.

"Haaaah, feel this"

The two of us went back to sword fighting, it was very difficult for me to keep my distance. The heat from the robe was felt once upon approaching. Do I have to use that.

"It's not hot, then I'll level it again"

The distance of just a few meters was already felt, if he approached and successfully attacked it would be finished already.

"I think I should do it, hufft" I enveloped the body with positive cursing energy

The energy of this curse can keep me protected from Helena's heat. But I'll pretend it's still hot.

"Now die, Sword Fire!"

"Gram! Sword technique, Flow!"

My sword technique managed to get Sword Fire out of Helena's hands. He himself thought that the heat of the robe made me keep my distance.

"Finished it already" I approached and hit Helena's stomach

Several times I attacked him with cursing energy until the Fire robe disappeared.

"I can conclude that the robe came from a royal heirloom but was activated by your magic. But the weakness of the robe you can't use it when you can't concentrate. Is the robe also capable of healing wounds? But my attack was to target a vital point not just any attack"

I explained all his magic, but he just fell to the ground. When I felt like he wanted to give up a pressure felt above me.

A magic had been activated, it was an attack capable of defeating the Demon Witch Luva. But what does it mean, if it unleashes the attack then it will be affected.

"Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will defeat you! Loids!"

"Foolish, what are you doing!"

"O fire from a burning hell, lend me your strength, burn, Dragon Fire!!!"

I approached Helena before the attack hit us. I quickly brought Helena into the dimension of the room to take cover.

"Hurrrr!!!!" The big explosion happened because of Helena's magic

Magic knights and villagers also had to take shelter from the impact. It was truly an incredible force, even its magic marks almost resembled the impact of a small meteor to the earth.

***

(Dimension Room)

I hugged him so as not to be separated, in the dimensional space just a name, but the dimensional space of mine is like a weapon room with all white.

Helena herself was silent until she came to her senses,

"Well.you..what are you doing?"

"Well just take cover from your attack, but you're a real fool huh. Though I just wanted to play a little, next time don't use that magic on me" I held Helena's head and advised her

"Ti. no way, I'll beat you know. This time I might lose but next time I'll win"

"I hope so"

"So where is this?"

"This is my technique, the dimension of space, where I put my weapon. But yes this can also be entered by me"

"It's like a space storage bag, a rare item from the Victim kingdom. I see, so this is how you avoided the first attack earlier. I don't think you're just strong but you're smart"

"Thank you for the compliment"

"So I want to ask you again seriously. Who the hell are you?"

"I am Loid, a wanderer who seeks a peaceful place to stay. He was also a swordsman and a spirit. I'm not a hero but I'm not a villain, I just want to be a regular person. Does that answer your question?"

Helena just laughed a little, but I can tell if she already trusts me.

"Alright let's go back, but before that I'll go straight away. So can you help me pretend?"

If you look closely she is very beautiful especially after removing the protective helmet. Looks like a rich woman in my previous life.

"Of course, I've lost to you anyway"

***

A few minutes after the explosion we returned to the world dimension. I myself went without saying goodbye with the villagers riding on Tora.

Helena herself pretended to have defeated me and let me go. For the matter of the Sword Demon King, the fire sword hero Helena became the one who managed to defeat him along with a wanderer.

Helena received an award from the kingdom and the news of the Re-El kingdom's victory against the Demon King spread quickly like the wind to the various corners of the world.

Hope grows with this good news keeps heroes from other kingdoms motivated.

To the world it was a proud news, yet they had no idea who defeated Gara was Loid. It will impact the future of the hero.

But for Loid all things were not important to him because he felt he had succeeded in doing the goddess's duty until he did not know that the Demon King in Oxland was not just one.
