Chapter 67: Quest (Part 2)

< Terror Hand >

— Giant Race

— SS Threat Level (Millennial Animals)

— Once upon a time, it was said that the Cyclops race broke away from the control of the Gods and began to slaughter everything that existed. They possessed incredible strength capable of defeating most of the other giant races, allowing them to roam unhindered for many years.

— The single eye on their head is capable of firing a concentrated beam of light capable of destroying the walls of the fortress.

— They are able to control Metal Elements to a certain extent, which gives them the ability to make their bodies as hard as steel.

— They are weak against the Sacred Elements

—–

Instead of hoping, William finds despair while reading information from Terrorhand. Despite his weaknesses, he did not have any Job Classes he had with Sacred Elements.

His only hope was his friends so he decided to ask if any of them could use the power to kill the Thousand Year Beast in front of them.

"The name of this monster is Terrorhand," William said as he tried to suppress the tone of despair in his voice. “It was a Millennial Beast and its only weakness was the Sacred Element. Do any of you have a Sacred Element?”

Isaac and Ian shook their heads before looking at their Young Master.

Est bit his lips before reluctantly nodding his head, “I have no power to use Holy Spells, but I have a weapon imbued by Sacred Elements.”

The handsome boy waved his hand and a sword appeared in front of him. That ordinary-looking sword did not look special. In fact, it looked so normal that William found it hard to believe that it was filled with Sacred Elements.

__

—The sword used by the Hero Altera who protected humans during the Dark War.

— Its power will depend on the trust of its users. The stronger their confidence, the stronger the sword was.

— Filled with Sacred Elements.

— This sword is indestructible.

— Can only be used by loyal followers of Goddess Astrid.

William had a complicated expression on his face as he read the sword information. Although the words "indestructible" and "filled with Sacred Elements" caught his attention, he did not feel optimistic about their chances.

Other than Terrorhand, there were six Gasmirages currently hiding using their stealth capabilities. William's map had been disabled, so he couldn't detect their location. With the Millennial Beast and six unseen threats, William feels that this challenge is impossible to solve.

'I don't think I have a choice, ' William thought as he clenched his fists. This was a life and death battle, so he could not be picky with the methods available to him.

Since it was impossible for him to defeat Terrorhand, he would devote himself to a supporting role to ensure that Est would be able to deliver the final blow to the Millennial Beast.

“Est, do you have the confidence to defeat the creature?” ask William.

"No." Est shook his head. "Being that is impossible."

He felt weak, as he gripped the sword in his hand. When the Goddess mentioned that her test would be difficult, she thought that she could still complete it using the holy sword that the Goddess had given her.

Est realized how naive she was.

He's starting to get desperate. Fear slowly gripped his heart and made it difficult to breathe. Est felt her hands become wet as cold sweat flowed down the side of her face.

Just as he was about to lose all hope, a pair of rough hands pressed down on his shoulders. Est raised his head and saw a pair of bright green eyes staring straight at him.

“No matter how strong the enemy is, a hero cannot choose his opponent,” William said firmly. “This is why they are called Heroes.”

“T-But, I'm not a hero,” replied Est. "I wasn't born a hero."

"Hero are not born, they are made" William said. “Hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to defend and attack despite facing many obstacles.”

His confident voice pierced through Est's heart, dismissing the fear that almost left him paralyzed. Est could also feel the warmth spreading from William's palm that was currently pressing down on his shoulder.

“ enough talk,” William said as he stared at the enemy he had to face. His fearless gaze fascinated Isaac and even Ian, who had always been skeptical about William, had to admit that the boy's current expression looked cool.

"Give!"

“Leader Flock!

William rubs his flock and applies the Ice Armor to everyone including Est and the twins. He then asked the system to switch its sub-class from Ice Wizard to Dark Mage. Right now, his Ice Magic could make a small difference against their enemies, so he decided to get serious.

“William, the mithril necklace I gave you is special,” Celine said as she patted the boy's head. “It has a special function that you can use once every five years. The price of using it is very steep.

However, if you have to choose between paying the price and dying, you have to pay the price and use it. After all, only when you are alive will you be able to achieve your life goals. The passcode to activate the necklace ability is..”.

William touched the mithril collar around his neck and said...

"Rules violators…"

His collar glowed bright blue as William felt a surge of strength sweep over his body. This was the forbidden spell that Celine taught her to defend her life before she left the village to visit the Sacred Temple.

William does not know that Celine has a premonition that William will face extreme danger during his journey. Therefore, she decided to give the secret of the necklace to give him a chance of survival.

The dark tendrils weaved around William's body as the mithril collar performed its special function.

"I-It's Black Magic?" Isaac gasped.

Est looked at the red-haired boy who was slowly shrouded in darkness. To his surprise, he did not feel any negative feelings towards William. In fact, Est feels the peace and security that comes from her.

Est understands that William is taking a risk by showing this side of himself to them.

The sword in his hand pulsed with power and the words of the Goddess whispered in his ear.

“I only see the result, Est. not the process.”

'Lady Astrid, I think I now understand what you want to say to me,' Est thought as she gripped the sword in her hand firmly. 'Because you chose him to be my companion in this trial, I will also place my trust in him.'

William sighed as the strength within his body stabilized. This was the first time he felt so strong. Even so, he understood that he would not be able to defeat the Millennial Beast with his current strength.

However, defeating the Centennial Beast did not cause any problems at all.

“Etreal Vision!”

The corner of William's lips curved into a grin as his eye color changed to gold. The hiding Gasmirage unfolded before his eyes and he decided to face it first before fighting against the Millennial Beast.

“Glorious Darkness, my redeemer, I need you now in my time of need. Guide my hand so I can conquer your enemy. The law of fools who forget your name, and curse them all into eternal darkness!”

“Dark Breaker!”

More than a dozen dark rays shot out from the sky and crossed the plains. The monsters hiding let out screams as their world descended into darkness. Dark fog shot out from their eyes as their bodies rolled on the ground in pain.

"Mama Ella, I'm handing you the little beast" William ordered. “Est, and your two best friends, we will deal with Terrorhand. I'll say this now, but none of you are allowed to die. Do you all understand ”

""Meeeeeeh!""

"Understood." Est nodded his head.

"OK," Isaac replied with a determined expression.

"I'll follow you just this once." Ian decided to focus on the task at hand for now. Although he disliked William, there was no way he would let his Young Master face the Cyclops alone.
