After the training was over, it was getting late, and Rui began to say to everyone,
"Everyone, we should go home and rest, and we will resume training again tomorrow morning" Rui told the others.
"Good idea, I think I need a break and a hot bath to treat my fatigue" said Reene, who felt her body was getting dirty from the dust and the ground.
"Alright, the training until here, we will continue it again tomorrow morning" Ryouta told the others.
************************************
After everyone agreed to return home, they began to re-enter the royal city of Deltras, and while at a crossroads, Michi and Reene separated from Rui and Ryouta. A few hours after parting ways, Rui said to Ryouta,
"Nee, onii-chan, since it's almost night, how about you stay over and have dinner at my house like where?"
"I don't think that's bad either."
After walking for a few minutes, Ryouta finally arrived at Rui's house, when he got there, he said.
"Your house looks very neat Rui, it seems you like cleaning ya."
"Thank you onii-chan, well now, wait a minute, I'll cook dinner for both of us, oh yeah you better take a shower first, I'll have the bath ready for you," said Rui started preparing the bathtub for Ryouta.
After the shower, dinner is ready. A few minutes after dinner, and after a little chat, they decided to go to bed.
************************************
In the morning, after finishing breakfast, Ryouta and Rui decided to go to the royal palace of Deltras. On the way to the palace, their steps came to a halt when they saw many people sitting around the park listening to a fairytale song about the Behemoth Disaster Dragon sung by a short purple-haired little girl with her little harp. Out of curiosity, they chose to listen to the girl's story.
As the strings of the harp were plucked, the lady began to sing a fairy tale about the Behemoth Disaster Dragon.
"3,000 years ago, it was a small village where the inhabitants lived together in peace, but the peace did not last long, when the sky and the blackish-red clouds appeared, accompanied by lightning and a fierce earth shake, a black-coloured Dragon appeared from the sky and destroyed everything before it."
The strings of the harp were back in the pick, then the lady began to continue her story.
"The dragon was so powerful, and terrible, it destroyed the village in the blink of an eye, the village was destroyed, all its inhabitants have died as a result of the Dragon, all that remains of the village is a ruin."
"Thousands of years passed, and the Dragon continued to appear and destroy all that was before him, and spread terrible terror to all, until one day a great sorcerer challenged the Dragon to a fight. After the long battle was over, the Great Witch managed to defeat the Dragon and put him to sleep for good, that was the end of the story, thank you for listening to this story until the end," said the girl lowered her head and saluted everyone who listened to her story.
When the girl finished telling the story, everyone stood up and put the bronze coins into the small wooden box in front of the girl. After everyone left Ryouta put four gold coins into the wooden box belonging to the girl.
Looking at Ryouta who put four gold coins into his wooden box, the girl took the coins and ran to meet Ryouta who was some distance away while saying to him,
"Onii-chan over there, you dropped your gold coins, so I came here to return them," said the girl to return the gold coins.
"You don't have to give it back, it's yours."
"But this is too precious to give to an ordinary person like me."
"Let's just say it's a gift from us to you" Rui told the girl.
"really? So it doesn't matter that I accept this gold coin?"
"True, take it, it's your gift" said Rui stroking the girl's head with a smile.
************************************
After getting the gift, the girl left while carrying the gold coins she got. Moments after the lady left with the gold coins given by Ryouta and Rui, suddenly a duke-titled noble with the hired A rank guards and adventurers came and forcibly snatched the money the little girl had collected from his hands. After taking the money the little girl had collected, the noble saw the four gold coins that were inside the little wooden box of the girl then said,
"Low people like you don't deserve to bake or have gold coins like this, only we nobles deserve that, and if you all want to fight me, you'll be the only ones, then I will set an example for anyone who dares to oppose me," he said and asked Rank A adventurers to teach the little girl a lesson.
The moment the Duke noble gave the order, those chartered rank A adventurers started to approach the little girl, then hit her stomach, then slammed her into the ground violently. After doing so, they began to take the harp belonging to the girl then destroy it.
Everyone could only fall silent without being able to say anything more, even fighting back was also incapable, they could only see the little girl being tormented and oppressed by the adventurers. When the little girl could no longer speak or move against him, the Duke nobleman simply laughed as he said,
"This is punishment for those who seek to resist me."
Outraged by the noble's words, Ryouta began to say to him,
"Oi, you there, are you out of food to fill your big belly, huh? Or could it be that you are actually a commoner who wears the title of nobility, if so, I am starting to feel sorry for you, even though you have the highest noble title, even though you have the highest, but you still lack wealth" Ryouta said walking forward out of the crowd while mocking the nobleman.
"How dare you insult me, well it looks like you need to be aware of your mistakes, you all teach him a lesson now."
"Alright boss, as you ordered, we'll teach him a lesson he'll never forget."
After saying that, some rank A adventurers started to surround Ryouta then started attacking him from all directions. When everyone started attacking him, Ryouta began to dodge all of the attacks very easily and said,
"It seems that you guys are really fake A rank adventurers, you can only bully people weaker than you, but this time, I will show you how weak you are."
************************************
A few minutes passed, the few A rank adventurers who had surrounded him were defeated, now there was only one person left, and he arrogantly said to Ryouta, saying,
"You only managed to defeat those weak adventurers, but you won't be able to defeat me, and no one will be able to survive after encountering my Calamity Emperor Demon sword, either, so get ready to die," he moved at a very high speed until no one could see his movement, and with that speed, he tried to stab Ryouta with his speed.
"I admit my defeat, but how can an attack from a demonic sword be brushed off by just an ordinary iron sword?"
"If you want to know, I'll tell you."
"The mistake you've made is, you start to doubt your abilities, your heart starts to worry, the strength you put in your sword is too weak, which is why you're easy to beat."
Hearing Ryouta's words, he began to realize about the mistake he had made, and then began to say,
"Please make me your student, I want to learn more about what true power means."
"Well, if you want to be my student, then first you have to make up for all the wrongs you've done, then reflect and think about everything in prison later, then second, then second, after you get out of prison, find a worker and collect money to buy a sword from a blacksmith at this job, thirdly after you get that sword, meet me, meet me, then I'll be ready to train you" Ryouta told the man.
After hearing these words, he gave himself up to be arrested to take responsibility for his actions. A few minutes after the man surrendered himself to be arrested, some of the townspeople took him to the royal soldiers of Deltras to be taken to prison.
After the adventurer was taken to the prison, some royal soldiers came to the park, and began to besiege the Duke's nobles. Then when all the working men came, Rui said to him,
"Duke Crowel von Esterlist, for your crimes and abusive treatment in the territory of the kingdom of Deltras, hereby you are held in the royal prison to await the final verdict on your fate."
Hearing the words of Rui, he refused and said arrogantly,
"I won't be that easy to catch, because I have the money, and I'll pay you and all these soldiers a high price if you want to release me like where?"
"Ah... That's a pretty good offer."
"All right, so now please let me go."
"Although it was a good offer, but I refused, because someone once said to me, that money can indeed buy everything, but if you are a person who only depends on money, then, then you are the most unfortunate person among all," said Rui refused the Duke's offer and continued to take him to prison with the palace soldiers.
After Duke Crowel von Esterlist is taken to the royal prison, Ryouta and Rui continue their journey to the royal palace of Deltras, but before that, Ryouta healed all the wounds of the little girl and gave her a new harp and returned all the money taken by Duke von Esterlist. A few minutes after healing the girl they went to the royal palace of Deltras to meet Fricilla and the others.
Arriving at the palace, a long purple-haired girl with small fairy wings on either side of her hair is seen walking around the palace and accidentally cross paths with Ryouta.
After the lady started to go some distance away, she asked Rui,
"Rui, do you know who that girl is?"
"It seems that onii-chan hasn't known it yet huh, she is Miss Lilia Asami, she is the master Princess of the Deltras kingdom, and it seems like she just returned from a negotiation trip with the northern demon kingdom."
"Negotiations with the northern demon kingdom yes, it seems that he has an important role in this kingdom," Ryouta said after hearing an explanation from Rui.
After a few minutes, they arrived at the main chamber of the kingdom of Deltras, and went inside and faced the noble king Deltras. When facing King Deltras, Ryouta also conveyed the information he got about the seven sin of hell.
When the information was finished, Victoria suddenly came with Fricilla, Erina, and Chisaki, saying that all the members of the Seven Sin of Hell had appeared in the center of the royal city of Deltras.
"Everything, Seven Sin of Hell has appeared in the center of the royal city of Deltras, we must immediately overcome them before everyone is injured" Fricilla told the others.
After saying that, Princess Asami also ordered everyone to immediately overcome the Seven Sin of Hell attack. Upon their arrival at the center of the royal city of Deltras, there was a sight of all the members of the Seven Sin of Hell had been waiting for their arrival and one of the Seven Sin of Hell said, saying,
"We are the Seven Sin of Hell, and we came to destroy this city."
"You think you can destroy this city easily huh, if so, then you have to face the four of us first" Chisaki told the Seven Sin of Hell members.
"We know that we can't beat you, but the one who's going to be your opponent is him," said one of the Seven Sin of Hell members signaled to the other members to play a flute and also a harp
After the flute and the harp were played out simultaneously, the sky and clouds turned reddish-black, accompanied by lightning and a violent shaking of the ground, then from the sky appeared a dark black Dragon who then descended down.
Fricilla who saw the Dragon began to fear and then began to mention the name of the Dragon,
"Behemoth the Dragon is the bringer of disaster."
After saying that he told everyone to back off and run, because even though they had the power of the Goddess, they would not be able to fight against the Behemoth if they had fully risen.
When the Behemoth arrived before them, one of the Seven Sin of Hell members advanced and implanted a black crystal into the Behemoth's heart, to give it a new form stronger than its perfect form. As the Behemoth entered a stronger form than its perfect form, all the members of the Seven Sin of Hell said to them,
"We'll meet again, but not now, and next time we'll step in to finish you all off."
After saying that, all the members of Seven Sin of Hell disappeared, then Behemoth began to roar and move at high speed towards Fricilla who was still frightened by the sound of Behemoth roar. When he was about to be attacked, Ryouta dismissed the Behemoth attack with his sword, then said to Fricilla,
"It looks like you're shaking from that roar, but this is no time to be afraid of him, because many lives are at stake in this battle."
"You're right, it's not the time for me to be afraid, now what's more important is the safety of the people of this city."
After the attack by Ryouta, the Behemoth began to collect energy into his body, then when the energy was full, the energy was released with full force. Seeing this, Fricilla said, too,
"Nobody can destroy this city while I'm still here." With just a single flick of a finger, Behemoth's attack entered his magic dimension and was transferred to the vast ocean.
"Now it's time to fight and destroy the Dragon for good, let's all get ready" Fricilla told Ryouta and others.
