The Queen of Death Return
Strong Determination of Heroes
Chapter 15: The Hero's Decision
Two days before the Dragon returned to the Rexist Capital. We have prepared everything very carefully. The Magic Division that Miss Licia led was among the most spirited among the other divisions, they would exert all of their abilities to defeat those Demihumans. Miss Licia was the most enthusiastic among them, it was all because of the "Dignity" she received. True, the helplessness he experienced at that time deeply imprinted in his memory. That incident made him a battle maniac! I'm a little worried about his condition now. I hope Miss Emina can handle it.
Miss Hart is not currently in the Kingdom. Previously, he came to see me the day after I returned from Sige Village to say something. I was surprised because he came by teleportation. He said that it was not his magic, but, there was someone who sent him. That means there's someone stronger than Miss Hart. Putting that aside, Miss Hart asked something about the Dragon's offer. I was confident in my choice to decline the offer. Hearing my reply, Miss Hart immediately left with her beast. To this day, he hasn't come back here. I haven't introduced it to the King and Queen, because I think it's too rushed. Miss Hart will definitely be humiliated there. I hope he'll be back here soon.
"Huuuh ...."
The whole pressure was on me. The nobleman who doubted me started to show his head. They tried to provoke the King to make me accept the Dragon's offer. I can't do much with them, my choices are round. They cannot treat me at will, because they have called me into this world.
This whole pressure is making me tired.
Right now, I'm lying like an unemployed person who's doing nothing. The kingdom is in danger, I'm the only one lying relaxed at the moment, shameful, right? The rest of the Party members mysteriously lost contact, other than Yulia and Andrew, I did not find Makia and Alex. They are not even in the capital. Only Lucas is always with me at the moment.
By the way about Lucas, what he's doing right now in the camp. The training? I'll go see him.
-----------------------
I'm going to the camp. Training to meet Lucas.
The atmosphere of the city is currently very quiet. All residents of the capital have been evacuated to nearby towns. It does not rule out the possibility that other cities will be attacked as well. Soldiers have been stationed in these cities.
I have arrived.
A very crowded atmosphere. The Soldiers are training, what an incredible determination. These warriors had a level of around 170, it was already at the level of a B rank Adventurer. It's just ordinary Soldiers, there are Elite Divisions that have levels above 200, but, I don't see them.
"Zayn." Someone came from behind and called me.
That's Lucas. It's strange, I didn't realize his existence.
"What are you doing here, Zain?"
"I just want to visit, we've prepared everything, haven't we?"
"You're right, Zain,"
I watched the sword Lucas was carrying.
His sword was destroyed in the Empire, but, he obtained a new sword in the Empire as well. There was something strange about that sword, I felt a hint of dark energy. I guess the sword is a level higher above my sword, it's because I can't judge it. I also have a weapon appraisal skill, not all weapons, it works for swords, arrows, and some others. My sword has an A+ rank, it is already the highest rank of the average sword in this world. I've never seen S rank or anything. Lucas's sword has no rank, however, it shows that his rank is Rare! I don't understand the point, is that some kind of game item? Does this world have anything to do with gaming systems? If it is Rare, it means there is a developer who takes care of it.
"What's up, Zain?" Lucas looked at me confused.
"It's okay, Lucas, can we take a walk?"
"Well, take this as our last memory,"
"Hahaha, shit,"
-------------------------
Lucas and I walked around the camp. Coaching.
"Help ...." Lucas breathed. "I didn't expect it to be like this,"
"I'm sorry,"
"No, Zain, your choice shows that you're a real hero,"
Is he trying to cheer me up?
"If I was in such a position, then I would definitely choose a similar answer. So, don't charge yourself like it's all your fault, we'll deal with it together,"
"Thank you, Lucas,"
"Are there any news from the other members?"
"No, I can't find them at all,"
"I'm sure Makia is now back in the Church,"
"uh? Whatchu mean?"
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, Makia is actually just a tool the Church uses, I don't know what it's for,"
"Fuckin' church!"
The people around looked at us with shocked expressions.
I forgot that the Rexist Kingdom is very open with the Holy Church.
"Calm down, Zain,"
"Sorry,"
"What's gonna happen to this party later, huh?" said Lucas.
We haven't even fought the Devil. How depressing.
"Don't worry, we'll get together again later,"
«Skill new has been added»
Huh uh?
I heard a voice in my head.
A skill?
Patience Skills
Patience?! Are you kidding me?!
Reduced damage from fire-type magic attacks and increased attack damage by 30%.
Not bad. Thank you, system!
Lucas held my shoulder.
"What's up, Zain?"
Should I tell Lucas?
"I got a new skill,"
I'll believe it.
I told Lucas everything.
"So, but, Patience? Ahaha!"
"Shut up,"
"Alright, I'm happy for your new skill, see you in two days,"
"Well,"
Lucas left me.
It's like a farewell to me.
--------------------
A while before the Black Dragon came.
Today has arrived. The fate of the Kingdom depends on the battle today.
Everyone was ready for his position.
I'm with Lucas, Miss Licia and Miss Emina are in the middle of the Capital. Since there were no civilians in the Capital, Miss Licia did not need to dispose of her Mananya to make a protector. Now he will use his attack magic. And Miss Emina too.
"Zain, it's good to know you" Lucas said.
"Don't joke at a time like this, damn it,"
"Haha, sorry, sorry,"
I think it's necessary, given the slightly tense atmosphere here.
*bum!
I felt the pressure of the aura approaching.
This pressure?
"She's finally coming." Lucas looks excited.
He's ready to die.
A monster that could destroy a country with just one strike. Right above me.
The dragon landed on the city square.
"Hero, it looks like he still wants to hear your answer" Ms. Licia said.
"Be careful, Zain,"
I walked towards the Dragon.
It's like walking to my death.
"HEROES. YOU SEEM TO BE SURE OF YOUR CHOICE."
"Absolutely, we'll fight you,"
"I'MAHAHAHA!"
"Spear Thunder!"
*Out!
A spear-shaped lightning magic snatched the Dragon from above.
That's Miss Licia's magic. It's my turn!
"Fire Swords!"
*dum!
I attacked him with a sword of fire. The explosion produced was quite large.
"Did that work?"
*wush!
A flutter of wings blew away everyone around the Dragon including me.
"Ughhh!"
Even high-level magic did not injure him?! No, he seemed to be receiving damage.
Miss Licia came to me.
"You okay, Hero?"
"Your attack did not inflict fatal wounds,"
"I know that." Miss Licia raised her hand up. "Emina, now!"
*Grr
The rumbling sound above the clouds sounded extremely loud.
"What's going on, Miss Licia?"
"Just watch,"
Spear-shaped clouds appeared.
The spear shot towards the Dragon.
"Hurry up,"
Is that really magic? These two witches are indeed extraordinary.
*Out!
The spear pointed right towards the Dragon. Followed by a very powerful lightning explosion.
That must have killed him.
"The dragon is really strong" said Miss Licia.
Huh uh?
A light appeared where the Dragon was.
The light was directed at me.
Wait ....
The smoke slowly disappeared.
It was obvious that the light was gathering in his mouth.
"What's that?!" Everyone is panicking.
"ATOMIC BREATH!" shouted the Dragon.
"High Mana Shield!" Miss Licia casts her strongest protective magic.
*dum!
The Dragon attack hit Miss Licia's protector.
Can that hold him?
"Go, Hero! It won't last long!"
He's going to kill himself?!
"No, I'll fight with you!"
*Shelf!
The protective magic began to break.
"Great!"
*Duuoaar!
In an instant the explosion destroyed Miss Licia's protective magic.
I opened my eyes.
Huh uh? We're not hurt?
"Ohuk, uhuuk!" Miss Licia patted her chest.
Miss Licia survived, too. What the hell's going on?
I turned my eyes forward.
"Huh ... base lizard bully," said someone in front of me.
"YOU?!"
That it?
"Miss Hart,"
"Are you okay, Hero?"
How did he withstand the Dragon's attack?
*Ciiss
A blistering sound was heard.
I looked at Miss Hart's hand.
His hand was badly injured. He's holding it with his hand? No, the sword?!
"Oh, you don't need to worry, this isn't the Demon King's sword, this is from my Queen,"
The queen?
"But, luka-" I undo the intention to ask about her condition, I feel unworthy.
"KHUAHAHA. DID THAT WOMAN SEND YOU HERE?"
"That's none of your business, let's get this over with," Miss Hart returned in a prepared position.
*swing
Miss Hart pointed her sword at the Dragon.
"IT SEEMS LIKE SACRIFICING YOU ISN'T A BAD CHOICE. YOU'RE JUST A TOOL THAT'S GONNA BE THROWN AWAY."
"At least I'm useful,"
I don't understand what they're talking about. The queen? Who is the Queen he refers to? So right, there was someone stronger than Miss Hart, even more so he served her. But, who?
