To Deprive a Deprived Person-Chapter 264: Hero, stand up

TDADP chapter 264: Hero, stand up

Holy Country Jardalk, Free State Hameln. Each boasts a population and territory suitable for being called one of the five major powers and because of its vast territory, it borders on the territories of multiple countries. Some of the borders that have been bordered for too long have buffer zones on both sides's agreements to prevent fruitless conflicts. Such a place was paradise for those who were called demi-humans and those who were persecuted. Especially for those who fled the Holy Country of Jardalk.

If you look down on the ground from the endless blue sky, you will see mountains and endless lush forest areas. Originally, it is no wonder that it is covered with snow in the cold region peculiar to northern countries, but there are various influences such as magic winds and mountains dominated by powerful monsters in labyrinths, so this area maintained a warm climate. This is a buffer zone established by the Holy Country of Jardalk and the Free State of Hameln. Even with such a vast land, it is a part of the buffer zone, so you can see how vast the territories of these countries are. A young human man stood in the forest. The golden hair, blue eyes and white skin give a soft impression, but the eyes will give you a strong will to give in to no one. Light armor that emphasizes movement and a sword on the waist, sometimes emits lightning that overflows from the scabbard, perhaps due to some magic or skill. The young man's gaze is looking forward as if he were looking through the depths of the forest. Then, a part of the forest moved as if to react to the eyes of the young man. At the same time, a torrent of uncontrollable power became a storm and was struck by the young man. However, the young man who stands only with a cloak fluttering violently doesn't make a slight movement.

"I have something to talk about"

The young man spoke to the moving forest. Moving forest――if you look closer, you'll see that it's a giant beast. Six tiger-like legs with sharp claws, four eyes on a monkey-like face and a surprisingly snake-tailed tail. If you measure from head to tail, it will easily exceed 70 meters. The beast was mistaken for a forest because of the trees and moss on the back of the beast. It's too foolish to say that this huge body belongs to one beast. It can be said that it isn't strange to think that a part of the forest has moved. The beast's response to the youth's words was not words but legs. The beast's right front leg attacks the young man while scraping the ground and trees. A large amount of earth and sand and crushed trees rolled up into the sky and fall on the back of the beast. Thinking that the beast that had never been able to pass through was eliminated by force this time as well.

"Listen to me. I haven't come to fight with you"

The young man stands in the same place and speaks to the beast in the same way. He wasn't interested in the beast, such as how he avoided to attack. However, the beast didn't like the attitude that a small thing called a human cheekily overcame its attack and instead of being proud of it, he was calm.

"You should have the intelligence to understand human language. Please tell me my story"

Again, the beast's right front leg was shaken. This time, instead of smashing it sideways, the beast slams it from top to bottom. A huge hole was pierced in the earth. It is this power just by hitting the front leg casually. However, when the smoke cleared, the young man was staring at the beast in the same way as before.

"I have a request for you, the lord of the mountains and forests in this neighborhood. Don't use that power unnecessarily. I understand if it's a killing to live, but every time you use it innocently the mountains and forests are home to the vulnerable, who have managed to escape from many creatures and persecution and have gained peace"

The beast had its own case. Dominating the mountains and forests, it needs to show off its power. Above all, it was nice to see the little things frightened and ran away every time it wielded its strength. For that reason, the young man in front of the beast was only uncomfortable with what he said.

"A beast woman is dead at your whim. In her hands is a newborn baby――"

In the middle of the story, countless thunder struck over the young man's head from the sky. Frighteningly, this beast can manipulate lightning at will. The enormous amount of lightning emitted by the beast caused black smoke to rise from the ground, but the eyes of the beast saw the young man not hit by lightning. Even with the four eyes of the beast, the speed of movement of the young man was so unusual that it couldn't completely capture his movement. When the beast roars in a frustrating manner, the trees sway in a frightening manner. The roar reached the distant mountains and echoed and just hearing the voice trembled many monsters and animals who began to flee.

"Please. Listen to me"

It was the fourth appeal. However, the response of the beast confronting the youth was not a dialogue but an attack. A huge amount of lightning begins to gather in the beast's mouth. The beast chose to slaughter extensively to kill the young man in front of its eyes, who avoided even a sudden lightning strike. The young man looks down at the beast. The beast wondered if the young man had realized his inescapable death and thought about it――purple lightning ran through the beast's body. Looking at it, a purple lightning ran from the top of the giant beast to its tail. When the beast looked back, following the faint appearance of the young man, he saw the young man with his sword in its scabbard. Then, the giant beast is split vertically into two and loses consciousness. At the end, the beast wondered why the young man turned his pity on it by slaughtering it with the sword. A strong man who had never had a hard time dealing with a strong monster.

--------------------------------------------

"O......Ooo! Then the king of the forest is definitely dead!?"

An old beastman walks to the young man.

"Yes, unfortunately I didn't get a response. I was forced to fight and as a result it was killed by me"

The words of the young man cheered from the beastmen around him. Many villagers have been killed by the beast, formerly known as the King of the Forest. It's no wonder that the villagers are delighted.

"Even so, it's easy to defeat the King of the Forest, who is said to be the descendant of that Evil Beast Nu Erio Sangalion......as expected of 『Pandora's Hero』, Roy Buom"

"Eternal is right. It's too great to defeat the king of the forest not only for the pride in the village, but also for the demons in the forest, even if they didn't have any teeth at all"

"It's not amazing. The hero who defeated 『Calamity Devil King』 is as strong as the rumor"

The young human man――Roy Buom smiles with a bitter smile at the words of the villagers who praise him. Suddenly Roy looked down and saw the beastmen's children with their eyes shining.

"Hero-sama, it's amazing!"

"Shall I become your bride?"

"I, I also want to become a hero!"

"Idiot! If so me too!"

In particular, the two boys longed for Roy as if they worshiped him, dyeing their cheeks bright red and pushing the other children away.

"Yes, you can"

""Really!?""

"Everyone has the courage to face fear. If you use your courage to do the right thing, you will surely become a hero someday"

The boys jump with delight at Roy's words. Roy realizes that the haze of his heart is getting clearer. Roy leaves the village, politely refusing the chief's words to raise the village and set up a place for gratitude and celebration. The destination wasn't decided, but it was decided to do it. Help the weak. Roy Buom understood that it was his mission as a hero.

"Why don't you show up?"

Suddenly Roy stopped and without looking back, he called out to the back. Then, people in robes appear from space without obstacles such as trees. The art of concealment――in a place where there is no obstruction, you will find that these people are elaborated only by it.

"Its you guys again?"

Contrary to the stunned words, Roy was impatient in his heart. Because the robes they wear are from the Irigamit sect. Roy was moving with great care so that they wouldn't realize the location of the village of the beastmen who lived away from the persecution of the Holy Country of Jardalk, but he couldn't be completely relieved. The persecution of the Holy Country of Jardalk against demi-humans was so fierce.

"Have you reconsidered the meeting with Cardinal Bataille?"

"I should have declined that story"

"I've been there many times, considering Roy's position"

"Whatever you say doesn't change my mind"

"We aren't useless messengers either. It's about time I got a good reply"

"I'm not impressed by your force"

Roy's left hand naturally hangs on the handle of his sword while tapping a light mouth. Nine people can be seen only and ten or twenty people are stationed if you follow the signs of cleverly hiding. Roy murmured inwardly, saying that he had a large lineup for himself.

"Can I just ask for this?"

"Heroes don't succumb to state power or unjustified violence"

Roy was wary, but Irigamit did not feel the intention of the attack. The result is contrary to expectations and Roy is likely to relax for a moment, but soon becomes more distracted. For Roy, who knows what the Holy Country of Jardalk had done to beastmen and others up to now, it was a natural attitude.

"The story is over. Excuse me"

Roy started walking with his back to the members of the Irigamit sect.

"There are signs of bad news"

Roy's steps stop at those words.

"A new Demon King may emerge"

If Roy had looked back, he would have noticed that the Irigamit cult members were laughing.

"If it manifests, it will cause enormous damage to the innocent people"

"Is that reliable information?"

"Come on? I have only been told by Cardinal Bataille that a demon king who exceeds 『Calamity Demon King......』 may appear"

"Calamity Demon King......"

"In some cases, a big war――yes, the return of the Cardinal War. By the time the hero Roy defeated the Calamity Demon Lord, more than a million people were killed, but this time. Cardinal Bataille is not expected to be a ratio. I wonder how many victims will it be......one digit......no, double digits will jump"

Before he knew it, Roy clenched his fist tightly.

"Understood"

"Well?"

"Please guide me to Cardinal Bataille"
