Level 188's. Her hero.
That is Otonashi Hibiki's current record. The world must know, that's what the king thinks. The heroes who descended to Limia participated in the medium-scale war against the demon race that took place in the kingdom and the surrounding countries.
Moving from one country to another takes a lot of time.
Using magic tools for teleportation that had been provided by the kingdom and the teleportation formation that had been allowed to be used indefinitely by merchants and adventurer guilds, he said, they can provide VIP class transportation method to make the schedule impossible. .
The girl who thought the demon race was a monster was startled at first when she saw they had blue skin and an outer appearance that was very similar to a human. At first he hesitated to fight against them, but after a few fights and seeing the death of his comrade's soldiers as well as the enemy soldiers, he began to accept constant fights to take each other's lives.
A demonic beast that could understand human speech, the demon race, as well as hyumans.
In the sense of its current value, they were all on the same level and that principle had still not changed. That he was able to overcome the brutality that would normally go against his ideology and beliefs was because he came to his own conclusion.
That he went to different countries and reached that conclusion was also the goal of the kingdom. Because there is no room to pamper yourself with the streets in a country that is at the forefront of war.
Above all, the fellow fighting by his side was important. In all the noise, the importance of their lives was clearly heavier than that of strangers. If this is a friend who follows you on your journey, more precisely.
If you participate in a war and repeat the battle repeatedly…
The most engraved thing in a soldier when they participate in a war is not the determination, but the thirst to survive the battle along with your friends you leave behind.
So, now…
Hibiki is in the royal palace. He had just fought through a hard battle.
It was not against the demon race, but he was injured unexpectedly. He returned to the castle to treat his injuries and is now in recovery.
His party friend was also severely injured and received treatment in a separate room. That's what you'll call, the country that was exterminated.
For the time being they managed to teleport back, but this did not just stop at the usual commotion. The hero and his party had returned in a weary state and it seemed like they would fall at any moment, so it was no surprise.
“Kyun ~”
A worried voice came out from the silver belt holy treasure that was wrapped around his waist.
It was a guardian beast that lived in the silver belt, the Silver Wolf. Just like the girl, she was also injured in this fight and had returned inside the belt to recover.
"I'm doing fine. You should also rest in peace and heal your body. Even if you can heal your wounds with magic, that doesn't mean your stamina will come back "
That's what Hibiki said. It rests for the sake of restoring stamina, magic power and also cures fatigue. Fortunately, the extermination this time had no members who sustained fatal injuries.
Counting his companion wolf.
However, the girl thought about the base.
(In our plan, I will be able to fight one of the demon shogun race within three months. I think it will be the first ..)
The first refers to defeat, or narrow victory that is near defeat. Hibiki, who is revered as a hero and has the ability to combine with him, soon receives a tough fight.
In more specific terms, he felt frustrated. This kind of feeling, he had not even told his party members.
(Even Naval's speed can't fight it)
The Navy, as its type, is similar to Hibiki. He was a swordsman who used his speed as his main weapon. Driven by his hatred for the demon race, he only stood on the battlefield out of revenge. But while getting into a conflict with Hibiki, she is now a party companion who stands at the forefront with her.
In terms of speed he surpassed Hibiki. He used attack-and-back as well as combo attacks to defeat his opponents, someone full of wisdom. His age and stature approached Hibiki. Having an almost white, gray blonde hair coupled with Hibiki's combination made him stand out on the battlefield.
(The protection of Bredda-kun was also destroyed)
Bredda's ability was a major field knight. Originally, his abilities were not someone that could be placed in a hero party. But due to the secret privileges the Kingdom provided, she was forced to accompany them. The party did not know that he was a noble and that he was the rightful successor to the throne.
But he's not incompetent. After joining this party, he decided on his position and devoted himself to growing. As a result, he now assumed an important role in the party.
His specialty is defense. Sometimes he would cut off attacks aimed at the rearguard and also go forward against speed-type attacks that the vanguard could not handle as well as those that could not be avoided. One could call it a wall that protected the inside while guarding the outside. In terms of Bredda's one-point parring and defense abilities as well as the use of throwing weapons and instant buff magic, he was better than Hibiki.
(Wudi's magic didn't work at all)
Wudi is a magician who is considered a genius, called a battery magician. He specializes in high-powered magic and while it is true that he is the type who has limited maneuverability, he makes contracts with wind spirits and using his trademark agility, he earns the nickname "Limia Mobile Battery". A nickname that makes people wonder if they praise her or are afraid of her. By the way, the person himself is not happy about this.
His offensive magic, for Hibiki who had yet to learn many attack spells and the party that had too many physical attackers, was an important existence in the hero party. But in this case, it was practically ineffective. She was originally going to be an imperial witch, but because of the King's proposition, she was made to accompany Hibiki. She is short and childish in face, but she is 25 years old. Oldest at the party.
(We put a tremendous burden on Chiya-chan)
Chiya is a healer. Having a high amount of magic power, she was a magician who specialized in healing and supporting magic. Just like Wudi, he was also friendly with spirits. Normally, the magicians who did not use spirit magic as their special skill would be hated by spirits, so this was an unusual case. He is friendly not with the wind but with the water. The maximum amount of magic power was, unexpectedly, the same as Hibiki. He almost made a sacrifice but was saved by Hibiki and the others, after which he accompanied them and then he officially became a member of their party. In terms of healing magic, he is sensei Hibiki. Of course, now that the party was in a state of total defeat, it was he who had used the most magic power in healing and was now sound asleep.
Hibiki, Navy, Bredda, Wudi and Chiya.
This is the party of the hero Limia. It was made entirely by hyumans. It had only been a month since Hibiki arrived in this world. How many things did he face? To the extent that one could call it a tidal storm.
By the time he enrolled in the Adventurers Guild, he was level 120. It was the third day of being in this world.
In the continuous battle, he increased his level.
This time, however, he lost.
Lips up.
From within, he could feel a strange pulsation similar to the tremors flowing all over his body.
The fighting style that Hibiki had chosen when he arrived in this world was a sword with speed as his main point.
His physical strength was quite increased due to his previous world, so he could use a great sword, but taking into account the surrounding friends and the circulation of the weapon itself, in the end, he chose the scoundrel sword.
It was a weapon that did not have many users in the kingdom. Katana's not there so she's in trouble. So, he chose this weapon which was literally translated by his history teacher in the previous world as "the bastard child sword".
Usually he used this sword with one hand, but when he wanted to make a powerful attack he used both. When he tried to use it, it was really convenient and Hibiki was getting attached to it.
The kendo he studied concentrated more on the distance between opponents and deterrence than on the use of swords. As a way to deal with it, it works well. The girl was happy even with her sword ending up as a western sword, that didn't mean all the skills she learned were in vain.
It had currently broken into two so he was looking for a replacement. Looking at the long handle that the blade broke, he felt a little regretful.
At first, Hibiki thought of using her crazy magic power to learn attack spells, but thinking about the concentration she had to give to aria while in the middle of the battlefield made her ignore the idea.
In the end, he decided to only learn spells to coat his weapon with magic power, a barrier that had short and easy-to-use aria, and self-healing spells.
He must have thought of a situation where he would be the only one left, his composition had a strong sense of independence. And in fact, Hibiki had never lost one-on-one before. He thought that if he lost, it was because he was surrounded.
But the truth is different.
He and the others were all defeated by one being. And that's from the front up.
No carefully crafted plan, or tactic reads their next move. There's nothing at all.
It just suddenly appears, and creates frustration at Hibiki.
Just instinct. His overwhelming attack power and insane defensive power.
The Navy is faster than that. He carried out continuous attacks like a strong wind, and by the time the opponent reacted and made an attack, he was already about to leave.
Unostentatious.
Because Naval attacks don't even scare opponents. His sword might look weaker compared to Hibiki's bastard sword, but it had quite a sharp magic power and sword. Combine with its speed and the cutting force increases rapidly. But it's not enough.
While enduring their fatigue, they continued to increase the damage bit by bit. Eventually, they pulled one of his legs.
Seeing that, even though it had been a long time ago, they had definitely taken one step forward and a sense of accomplishment was arousing in the party.
But in the next moment, the leg regenerated and continued its action as if nothing had happened.
At that moment, a crack appeared at the party that worked perfectly.
The navy was caught in a black thread and with his movements sealed, he received a final blow attack. Chiya desperately tries to cut the effect of the thread and heal it, but they all understand that she is already out of the fight. That was how the female sword would end up like if she received a direct strike while standing upright.
As one member fell, the number of attacks Hibiki had to avoid increased, and it also added to Bredda's burden. Even if his specialty was to fend off, it did not mean that he did not suffer any damage the entire time. Bredda's movements became sluggish and he eventually fainted. After that, it happened…
Since Chiyu was concentrating on healing one person, Wudi was finally unable to cut him off with an attack that only used magic power. Putting aside if the offensive magic was effective, seeing that it did not make the enemy's movement change created fear in it.
Even when Hibiki stands as the forefront of one person with self-healing and obstructions, if one person does the work of what the three originally did, it is not, it is clear what will happen sooner or later. From the moment they understood their attack had no effect whatsoever, the Wolves working as guard beasts, intercepted as many attacks as the barrier could not block. The silver wolf received a number of bombardments and after its movements became sluggish, it received a few more and fell down.
Chiya turns her healing into Hibiki. But even with that, it couldn't keep up. Wudi's support magic was cut off. And the creature that attacked casually, continued to pull out a black thread from behind him.
The healing and support stopped.
Cold sweat and impatience piled up.
Being overwhelmed by just his defensive and offensive power, they would soon be destroyed. His colleagues have fallen. He didn't even know if they were all safe.
One of the legs he cut off with both hands almost fell off, and then without missing this, he cut it off with a returning sword.
Then as before, it spread out like black particles.
And.Just like before, it regenerates.
“Fufu... fu..”.
What buried him now was despair. He can't win. There is no doubt that he cannot win. No, it's not even a match. He did not understand why laughter came out of his mouth.
The magic power that everyone praised was already completely dried up. Fatigue and burden that he had not felt before invaded his body.
Hibiki, with a literal desperate attempt, strengthened her body and red lights covered her body.
I can win.
Without losing the light in his eyes.
“I can still fight! Comehere! "
The energy to move had long since left him. He can only counterattack.
“Shyagya gya gya!”
Making a war cry or whatever in a strange voice, his eight legs accelerated as they got closer to Hibiki and with one of his front legs tried to cut him off.
What he did to fight it was ...
To take one step forward and turn for an overhead attack.
No one knew if he really aimed for it. The attack occurred above his fangs and directly into his over-glistening eyes.
Usually, Hibiki will count them as counters. But he wasn't even after the counterattack. Right now, he was already convinced that the only way was to make him take each other down, and this was an attack that took this into account.
“Gufu”
An organ might be pierced, he could feel the blood rushing down his throat.
That's of course. Because Hibiki, instead of dodging the attack aimed at her stomach, took a step forward and accepted it.
Am I going to die?
While thinking this blankly, the last thing Hibiki saw as she raised her head was ...
Not a brutal battlefield, but a calm plain.
"How's…?"
With his question as the trigger, blood started dripping from his mouth. He could not maintain his worsening consciousness.
The hero, Otonashi Hibiki, for the first time suffered a sense of defeat. A total defeat that he currently could not win at all.
The enemy was neither a demon race nor a demonic beast.
That was a disaster. A black spider of hatred that moved around the world devoured everything.
Right now, he doesn't know the identity of that thing. Of course, he also had no idea that his final attack on the eyes had filled the spider's hunger for a while and had left.
But Hibiki, who was recalling her fight, woke up in bed and took a deep breath. His body was shrouded in excitement as if he had returned to that battlefield. With a number of deep breaths, he was finally able to calm down.
"I'm going to win. Is correct. Thank you for the defeat.. Just wait ”.
His defeat might make his reputation fall, but he did not care about such a thing. I will investigate about it and defeat him. He had obtained one clear goal now.
This world ended up giving off feelings of defeat and frustration that he could not get before even when he wanted to. That's why he thanked the spider.
A black spider made 5 people retreat near level 200.
Hibiki's reputation, instead of falling, has risen. Usually when you meet a black spider it's the end for you. This was a high-level threat even the adventurer guild gathered high-ranking adventurers affiliated with the state to create a magic division and bombard it with long-range attacks to make it retreat.
This conversation shocked the kingdom and pushed the name of hero Otonashi Hibiki higher.
All this happened the day before Makoto freed the black spider from hunger.
