Shin Sang Legend
Leisha
At that moment, a voice entered Shin's ear.
“Indeed, this world no longer needs Heroes.”
The sentence that sounded through the increasingly dark forest made Shin suddenly stop.
********
“........!”
Shien forcefully raised his head and looked forward.
In an instant, Shin saw her.
“Goodnight, should I say that?”
The one who spoke in a seductive tone with a beautiful voice was a girl.
A girl who wears a dress like a princess. He had black hair and red eyes, and was sitting on a branch like a swing. Swinging her legs, her hands held a portion of dessert, which she bit bit bit by bit.
Shin had seen this girl before.
Especially just yesterday.
“You are the girl who was yesterday?”
The word involuntarily came out from Shin's mouth.
The girl paused for a moment before furrowing her brows in dislike, “You can call me Leisha only.”
Shin spoke in a seductive voice like Leisha had just done, “You seem to have said it before that not just anyone can ask you to give your name, right?”
“It's true.” Leisha looked towards Shin, and the dislike in her eyebrows disappeared replaced with an expression like she found something funny, “But I don't want you to do as you did before and escape.”
“Then, oh lady Leisha who correctly gave your name, may I ask what you are doing here?” Shin spoke firmly, “Don't tell me it's just a coincidence?”
Perhaps because of his mutterings to himself just now sounded, but Shin's bad mood was evident from his words and attitude.
Merely, Leisha didn't seem to mind it at all.
“You can think of it as a coincidence.” Leisha replied lightly, “If it wasn't ‘coincident’, then how could I have heard something so interesting?”
As expected, he had clearly heard the words before.
“At first, I just randomly passed Lamdrion while running away, so I never imagined that I could face something like this.” Leisha stared directly at Shin as if trying to see all his secrets, “However, thanks to that, I seemed to get some unexpected advantages.”
Those words once again told Shin that he had actually come because of him.
Perhaps, after the meeting the previous day, he had been watching Shin the entire time, to the point that he had finally followed him to a place like this.
In other words…
“So I've been followed huh?”
Shin muttered loudly.
Leisha did not give any response to that. She simply smiled at herself, and the gaze she gave Shien became even more interested.
“Same as last time, this time, you also seem to say something very interesting huh?” Leisha said with a grin, “You were right this time. The world no longer needs heroes. Are you disappointed?”
“Keca?” Shin narrowed his eyes and deliberately acted confused while actually telling the truth from his heart, “Why should I be disappointed?”
If he were to tell the truth, Shin would actually be very happy.
If the world no longer needed a Hero, then he could basically let go of that bit of responsibility and live as he pleased, right?
Just…
“You should be worried about being framed, right?” Leisha looked into Shin's heart with a glance and continued, “Don't know for what reason the gods are calling you, nor do they know what the current situation with the three races in this world looks like. Simply put, you are very ill-informed, so you don't know who to trust.”
“Am I wrong?”
“Latest Heroes.”
As Leisha's voice fell, the atmosphere around them suddenly became extremely heavy.
Shin had also completely abandoned the hope he held.
Because, things are pretty clear.
“Are you not going to take out that Holy Sword you have on your back?” Leisha spoke as if provoking him, “If you don't use the Sacred Sword, at your current level, you won't be a match for me, you know?”
“Coculate?” Shin met Leisha's gaze, “Are you here to deal with me?”
“What?” Leisha was still grinning, “Is that weird?”
“Of course it's weird.” Shin ignored Leisha's provocation and instead pointed out, “If you really are here to deal with me, then I will find you long before.”
After all, Shin had skills like [Enemy Detection], which could detect any existence that had ill intentions towards him.
In such a situation, if someone deliberately approached her while withholding bad intentions, then Shin would have found her long before.
However, Shin did not manage to find Leisha's whereabouts in time.
It proved that Leisha actually had no ill intentions towards Shien.
Sure oes…
“Are you not too naive? My Hero lord?”
Leisha acted as if she had just heard something funny, and the excitement in her eyes began to dissipate.
“True, I have no ill intentions towards you.”
“However, in this world, it is not like you can only fight because you are the enemy.”
“As with me. If I just want to test your abilities, and not make you my enemy, then don't you think that by itself is enough reason to deal with you?”
With those words, a pitch-black whirlwind like magical power rose.
That magic power created a storm around him, blowing in all directions, shaking the surrounding trees along with the accompanying sounds. The leaves are also blown in all directions.
Shin stiffened and unsheathed his weapon without hesitation.
The weapon that was drawn was not the Holy Sword, but the broadsword that Shin hung on his waist.
In the next second…
“Booom!”
The magic power emitted from Leisha turned into gravity, and like a field, struck the surroundings, and also smashed into Shin at the same time.
In an instant, the leaves flying in the air were all slammed into the ground. The surrounding leaves were also destroyed by an invisible force, creating countless creaking sounds, some even breaking.
Shin also felt his entire body being suppressed by the overwhelming weight, pushing him to the ground.
If nothing unexpected happened, this gravity should be enough to smash him to the ground.
However, it was unknown whether [Magic Resistance] or [Abnormal Status Resistance] was activated, so the moment the load on Shien tried to suppress it, it suddenly became much weaker.
“Eh?”
As she saw that, Leisha made a surprised voice.
“To withstand my gravity magic even without using the Holy Sword?”
Leisha never even considered that.
Unfortunately, this little bit of inadvertence made him late.
“Develop!”
Shien used the moment when gravity became weak to convincingly activate his [Limit Evolution] skill.
In an instant, magic power flowed throughout his body and drastically increased Shien's strength.
“Bang!”
So, Shin broke the ground with his steps violently and, while moving against gravity, shot towards the place Leisha was like a rocket.
Since his opponent had already acted, then there was no need for doubt on his part either.
This was Shin's great adaptability and decisiveness, and the ferocity learned from ten days in the forest.
Seeing that, Leisha felt joy rather than anger.
“Everything is starting to get more interesting now.”
