I Reincarnated as a Hero

Chapter 12 – Growth of Heroes (4)

(I have admitted …. Yurk!)

(We will retreat for now, and the others will test ...!)

“I told you I won't let you guys escape yyyyyyy!”

Mana Artpe was being shared with Maetel, and he was like a tireless predator.

The skull could not measure Maetel's ability using his level. However, they managed to make the right decision. They declared their intention to surrender in battle. But it's too late to do it. Maetel's anger refused to diminish when she saw their shameless behavior. It actually increases it.

“You originally planned to kill Artpe! Now you want to admit defeat and retreat? You're evil. You're all so mean! I almost lost Artpe! You want to end this with just one speech! You guys are really evil! ”

(It's no use. We say there's no point in going any further than this!)

(Herones anger .. Your anger will set you on a path of no return ..)

“You are the one, who will be placed on the road that cannot return! Eeyahhhh! ”

When one looked at Maetel's outer appearance, one would assume he would have trouble lifting the sword of the great bastard. However, the sword moved freely in Maetel's hands.

White bars do not distinguish between vertical and horizontal swings. He's like a salmon wading through a torrent. He mercilessly sliced and crushed the body of the Skull.

Fortunately, he still had enough awareness to realize that he should not kill any of them. He was basically holding on to one thread of reason.

It was something that was extremely difficult to do even for the Berserkers, who lived for many years with their anger. But Maetel did.

“You ran wild like an idiot ....”

Artpe recovered his Mana, and he focused on sharing it with Maetel. Of course, Artpe’s Mana is in a different class compared to Maetel’s Mana. Even after supplying the Mana required to maintain the status of Berserk Maetel, he was still filled with Mana.

After he became somewhat confident in keeping the chain link, he gathered pieces of sharp bones around him. As he maintained the Mana link with it, he strengthened the bone fragments with Mana. Then he started attacking them from a distance. Every throw paralyzes the Skeleton.

The two heroes once again began an airtight attack. They were facing a group of enemies that had increased in size by several dozen in size!

(I don't understand what's going on.)

(Why are there two heroes? Did both really appear in the same era?)

(Our role is to do the test. That'sthat's all. It is our job to guide them to the next location then we will retreat.)

(However, at this rate ...)

He dismantled the limbs of the most talkative Skeleton first. Maetel's bastard sword was swung like a club, and he sent the deformed Skull to the corner of the passageway.

There was a pile consisting of 90 Skulls.

Artpe made sure the Skull could not recover. He mainly used his shield to cut them. The shield was connected to Artpe with a rope reinforced by Mana, and it was freely sliced into the air. It's like a boomerang.

(It's like ...)

As the two heroes continue their dominance, the Skeleton is struck by Maetel's sword in his cheekbones. That groan is not really a groan.

(As if we are being tested.)

(It runs contrary to this test point.)

(Thus.)

(We will make changes)

“Oh man. What else ... Huh?”

At that moment, the density of the Mana within the Dungeon suddenly increased.

The hallway rolled as it widened. It got really big. Then he felt the Undead Mana from the other side accrue in an uncontrolled manner. The walls continued to contract rather than expand, and the flow of Mana within the Dungeon accelerated.

“Kyahhh!”

Great changes occurred to the entire Dungeon. Maetel surprised. He was out of effect from his Berserk skill, and he turned to look at Artpe.

“What happened, Artpe ....?”

“...I understand now. I was really under a delusion. ”

He's not like Maetel. He is not afraid of the unknown. Before anyone knew it, a smile appeared on Artpe's lips.

If a Devil, who was much more proficient in magic than he was here, this Devil would have realized it earlier. However, it could not help, as he was the weakest among the Four Sky Kings.

Still, he had already noticed it before it was too late. That's enough. He can straighten this out. This was for what strength Artpe had.

“Dungeon changes are underway. No, the Dungeon itself was trapped in a magic spell. ”

Who labeled this as a rookie Dungeon? This Underground Prison was made to look careless on purpose. This is the original Dungeon. It was impossible to form naturally, and it was not something an ordinary person could do.

(We give you a test.)

(If they are better .. If they are more outstanding .. If they are defeated ... If they are geniuses ..)

(We'll send everyone. We just need to test them again.)

The sound of steps could be heard. Several dozen level 50 Skeletons appeared from the end of the passageway. There were many Skeletons prepared behind them.

They come from the front, back, left and right. The hallway continued to expand, and it shattered the walls and stairs. The dead who sleep under all awaken.

Everything is connected through Record Link.

This was a very heavy ordeal for the novice hero, who had barely surpassed level 30. However, he had only fixed the grip on his bastard sword.

“It's okay, Artpe. I'll protect you. I'm gonna destroy everything. ”

His emerald-colored eyes did not tremble at all. She was too bright and strong to be seen as a teenage girl.

Ah ah's. Perhaps this was the point where he would open his eyes as a true hero. Artpe grinned when he saw this, and he raised his gaze.

“Iya. Someone planned all this. I don't know which generation this guy came from …….. ”

The skull continued to raise the subject of the hero. At this point, they acted in a brutal and obnoxious manner as if they were bullies. Other than their actions, he was sure they wanted to check the qualifications of the heroes. This gave him a good idea, who might have designed this Underground Prison.

“I'll destroy you all so thoroughly that you won't be recyclable. I'll take all yours. ”

His purple eyes contained the power of his Read All Creation ability. His eyes were emitting light as he scanned his surroundings.

Large-scale ancient magic protected the entire Dungeon. Their level of strength would not be able to do anything against him. It was a magic spell that changed depending on the situation. That changed to put the challengers on the wall.

This was why it was time for Artpe to step forward. This is why they have a chance to succeed.

“Every magic has a structure, and all structures have a weakness. Of course, it will be difficult to instantly move the wedge between magic spells to break it .. ”

This magic continuously acted on the huge space, and if even one thing was broken, the spell would collapse.

Of course, it was already known among the magicians that it was impossible to find structures and cracks in the ever-changing magic spells. This widely accepted idea turned around when Artpe Hirtana Kelduke of the Four Heavenly Kings appeared.

However, Artpe's name was unknown to people in this era.

This was why there was no magic ready to fight Artpe yet!

‘Hah? Waita minute. What happened to Me that should be present in this era? Am I absent or am I exchanged for someone else? If that's not the case, then …. ‘

In an instant, he had a terrifying idea, but this was not the time to think about it. He shook his head to expel all thoughts unrelated to their survival. After that, he checked Maetel.

“Ooh-ohhhhhhhhhh! I can do this! I can do this!”

(Koo-gah-ahhhhh!)

Maetel did not retreat from the Skeleton that came from all sides. He ran wild. Artpe's Mana Reserve was too large compared to his level, so his use of Mana didn't even make a dent in his Mana inventory.

It was as if he had trained in personal and group battles for several dozen years. He's good at it. The fact that he did all this by instinct was the most shocking fact in all of this.

“I won't back down …. I will not forgive you ….! ”

(Koo-ahhhhh!)

(We need more! Not enough of us!)

Above all, his sword attacks were slowly getting sharper and heavier.

Aside from the need to maintain Berserk and Bone Gauntlet, he did not use Mana. He could lightly dodge the Skeleton swords, which were infused with their Mana. Each swing of his sword was capable of crushing the opponent's bones, which were 20 levels higher.

He lied about a common phrase that said level differences meant differences in fighting ability. Right now, a hero had been born on this continent, and he had easily jumped over his limits. It was as if he was mocking those who had to live within the limits of the level.

Even if the Skulls increased in number, they could not cope against a single slender girl. Reluctantly they had to acknowledge his growth, and they were desperate.

(Strongness····he should not be this strong, yet he is too strong. In a situation where he had to retreat, he chose to strike directly forward!)

(He shouldn't be growing now, so why is he growing stronger!)

(Maethel)

(Level – 32)

(Science of the sword Lv7)

(Battle of Steps Lv6)

(Lv8 Perception)

“Why? His skills have improved. ”

He was a genius, who learned the Berserk skill after gaining a taste of the Bone Gauntlet buff effect. He was in his early 30s level, yet he had reached level 7 on the weapon skill. Achievements like this are no longer surprising.

Artpe examined and confirmed that Maetel had received almost no injuries. He decided he didn't need to monitor her constantly.

“For a while, you have to hold it yourself, Maetel. I thought I'd be able to change our situation a little. ”

“I believe in Artpe. Artpe can do it. ”

Even if he did not receive encouragement from her, he was confident he could do this …

Still, he felt a surge of energy from somewhere, and he wondered if Link's magic was the cause.

“Good. Trust me.”

Artpe raised the corner of his mouth. When he laughed, he raised both hands. The shield connected to the rope of Mana rose into the air, and began to revolve around his body.

Even if he was unable to bestow a curse on the Skeleton, it was still possible for him to sustain yet another of their attacks.

“If a powerful magic spell is the only important thing about a witch, she will be called by the name of her strongest magic. However, there was a reason why witches did not use that naming convention. The different names of a witch and their various talents they possess have significance …….. ”

The true value of a witch does not come out when facing a single enemy using fire or ice.

One move could turn the tide of battle. A magician is only recorded in history when one can change the course of a battle on his own.

“I saw it. I can see everything. I know where I should change… .. ”

The Underground Prison was trying to compensate for the fact that there were two heroes. The standard requirement for these Dungeons was for one challenger, so Dungeons merged into one floor to compete with them.

This framework is only at level 50, but the ones after it will be higher at the level. In addition, they will also be connected via Record Link.

It would be the end if he let that happen. Even if Maetel was a genius who could ignore the difference in levels, there was a limit.

What's he supposed to do? He had sufficiently strengthened Maetel's abilities. It was impossible for Artpe to grow personally at this moment.

This was why he had to reverse the enemy and the battlefield.

“If this is a regular structure, this is impossible to do. However, the entire Dungeon was controlled by a spell, so this was a different situation. ”

Artpe's purple eyes shone as they began to emit a strange light. He could see all the Mana flowing from the walls, hallways, and ceilings of the Dungeon.

He could see where they met, and he saw how it was warped to change the structure of the Dungeon. He could also see how Mana was used on top of monsters!

“Good.”

He has found her. The Mana thread was lifted from the tip of Artpe's ten fingers. The skull knows he is not good, but they also know that they are less able to touch the child.

That's a cursed thing. Before Artpe stepped forward, he had made careful preparations. No one can disturb him.

This was the result of the struggle of trying to escape the fact of being the weakest among the Four Heavenly Kings! He was always sacrificed first. However, he had turned into a hero now. The results he had obtained from before bore fruit in a brilliant manner!

“It's easier than building Mana Link. The fact that I can see your magic should be a reality that is frightening to you guys …. I'll show it to you now. ”

10 strands of Mana Threads from his fingers protruded into the surroundings. Where Threads reached certain locations in the hallways, ceilings, and floors of the Dungeon. Then the sharp edges of Mana Thread began to enter.

The tremors that shook the Dungeon became even worse.

“Here, here and there ..”

(A ... What are you doing!?)

(Do you really think that such a weak move can break our relationship !? No way! That's not possible!)

“You're right. That's not possible. I have just reached level 30, and it is not as if I can undo the old and great magic spells. ”

However, there was one thing he could do.

Artpe let out an evil smile as he swung both of his hands. 10 Mana Threads corrugated as they soared into walls, hallways and ceilings. They are absorbed into various locations.

(·······?)

(There is a change ... No, no change ..?)

The Dungeon stopped shaking. The ever-evolving passageway stopped evolving, and no new Skeletons appeared ..

The walls of the Dungeon, which had disappeared, began to slowly grow back. The uncontrollable mana within the Dungeon was a little calm.

“Artpe .. Nothing has changed?”

“Yes, Maetel. You made the right observation. ”

Artpe waved his hand around him. The protective shield, which had revolved around him, shot towards the group of Skulls.

Until just a moment ago, a new Skeleton had appeared every time when a group descended. It was an attempt to exhaust both heroes. However, one could no longer see reinforcements.

“Ah. This is....!”

(Can..).

(Our connection to our colleagues on the other side was cut off. Our magic is reduced by the power of the Dungeon! This means he manipulated the magic spell …. Oh God. How could a child like this do this!)

Maetel quickly realized what was happening. Skeletons were a late step in realizing it, and they began to speak noisily among themselves.

Artpe had expanded his magic senses, and he had enveloped the current passageway and several hundred Skulls within it. He spoke with confidence.

“Nothing will change from now on. Your reinforcements will not come. ”

It was as if the reinforcements were missing. It was not an easy task to wipe one's enemies off the face of this world using pure Mana.

Yeah, they're alive. Even now they might trample their feet while waiting for their turn to come.

However, they would wait on the Dungeon underground floor, which would not open until all the Skeletons here were killed.
