The Eternal Debauchery's

fate of heroes ll

I could see Rose looking around with a surprised expression. As if he could not understand what was going on.

… Well, that's understandable.

Rose should not be able to enter this mirror room. Even the gods would find it difficult to do such a thing.

The fact that Rose had managed to enter meant that her understanding of this aspect of space was extremely high.

But I'm sure he didn't know anything about the laws of outer space before this.

In other words

“Sudden insights, yes..” I said bitterly.

Heroes are very cheating.

No, not only that. Talent and insight were not enough to find a way to get into my mirror room so quickly.

Something else is disturbing.

But I soon understood.

This is the Fate of Heroes.

World's will.

Looking at Rose, and then at the Immortal projection in front of me, I sighed.

“That thought could not be avoided.”

[It was unexpected. A hero.] The Immortal laughed in an amused tone.

[Little girl, why did you come here? Does the world think I don't dare kill you? Or is he planning to save you at the last second? Hahaha, as expected of the will of the world, always uses the same tricks that are not liked.]

“... Huh?” Rose was startled, unable to comprehend the words of the Immortal.

I smiled wryly in my mind. For a moment, I wondered if I should take Rose out of here.

But then, I decided not to do it.

His destiny. Perhaps, this would be the boost that Rose needed.

Plus, the other party was merely a projection. I could easily protect her from him.

“... Claus, where is it? What's going on?" Rose asked me after a moment of confusion.

"This is a mirror room" I said without hiding anything. After all, he would learn many things after this. "I made it, but I never expected you to get in here."

“You created this?” Rose surprised. Even if he didn't know how strong someone was to do something like this, he wasn't stupid.

He had never heard of anyone doing something like this, not even the gods.

“... I don't understand, you..”.

Before I could answer, the Immortal interrupted.

[So this Hero doesn't know anything, yeah. Hey, brother, it looks like he knows you. Is he one of the cards you prepared for me?]

I grunt.

“you and I know it's impossible. A Hero is not enough to fight us. Even if he quickly grows strong enough to become Irregular, or even in the very unlikely case he reaches Eternity, his strength is far from enough."

[you're right. Even if heroes were strong enough for humans, most of them had only reached the level of a god. Very few of them were strong enough to be considered irregular to be able to kill an Immortal. As for being able to kill a powerful Immortal like us, hahahaha, very few such irregulars exist in the entire universe. This little girl looks a little talented, but even if she practices for another hundred years, she will only be killed like an ant if she goes against me.]

Rose immediately paled.

Although the Immortal exuded a slight killing intent with his words, he could feel as if his life force was being extinguished!

It was as if a strong desire wanted to smash him to pieces.

I frowned and used my will to protect Rose. Rose immediately sighed in relief, but the gaze she directed towards the Immortal was now tinged with a hint of fear.

"You must leave this place," I said indifferently. "You're not strong enough to be here."

Rose bit her lips with a complicated expression.

He's not stupid. He could feel how weak he was compared to us. Even though he didn't know why I was suddenly so strong, he could feel we were on a completely different level.

But-the

“... I can't go yet.” Rose said with certainty.

“I need to ask him a question.” And he looked at the Immortal with an unwavering gaze.

The Eternal laughed.

[As expected of a Hero. Just ask, little girl. I'm in a good mood today and I'll answer your question.]

“... These people, why did you kill them?” Rose barely managed to hold back her anger when she asked that. "Do you know how many people died today !?"

The Immortal did not answer directly.

Instead, he let out a disappointed breath.

“... Huh? What are you-"

[It looks like you are one of the naive heroes with a strong sense of justice.I have met and killed many people like you. I can't even count how many I killed. you know, you know, when you go around destroying worlds and civilizations, it's normal to meet heroes. Do you know what the problem is with heroes?]

“... I'm not–”

[They are weak, and they are naive.]

“... P-Hero? What is ka–.”

[Answering your question just now.] The Immortal continued without letting Rose speak. [Why did I kill these people? Simple, because I want to, and I can. They are weaker than me, so what's the problem if I kill them?]

"You ..." Rose's expression changed.

[Shocked? Getting angry? But what can you do? Can you kill me? No, you can only hate me. Maybe after this, you will swear to kill me to avenge the innocent people who died today, but so what ? You are weak, too weak, and too naive. You don't even know that you're just a world pawn.]

"… Motherfucker!!! Just because of that!!” Rose's face was red with anger.

He grabbed his sword and charged towards the Immortal.

"I'll kill you!!!"

But the Eternal only laughed a little.

[See? Heroes are easy to guess.]

And which destructive storm attacked Rose.

I think it's time for me to intervene.

“Quite,” I said expressionlessly and swung the Reality Render, cutting the storm of mana into nothingness.

Then, I stretched out my hand, chanted a spell and made a chain that held back Rose's movements.

"What!?"

"Back." I let out a breath. "We'll talk later."

After these words, Rose was sent back to the real world forcibly.

Once again, only the Immortal and I are left.

[Oh? It was fascinating.] The Immortal chuckled. [Looks like you don't want to see a hero die.. Could it be that you're really naive? What kind of Immortal cares about humans?] He said in a joking tone.

However, I could see a sharp glint in his eyes.

He seems to suspect something.

… How troublesome.

"Think whatever you want" I said indifferently. “However, that Hero could be considered one of mine. I have plans for him. So I'd prefer it if you don't touch it.”

[Hou.. I'm getting curious about what you're planning.].

I frowned. “I've served you enough for today. Now, can you disappear, please?”

Before the Immortal could speak again, I swung my sword!

Space was cut off, passing through the Immortal defenses as if they were buttering and cutting it in half.

[It's not that easy!] Immortal shouting. Destructive energies filled the mirror space, charging towards me like waves.

But-the

"Shut up."

one word I said was enough to calm down the rampaging mana and restore everything to normal.

"I told you, projections like this are not enough to hurt me" I said indifferently. "Now die."

After the explosion, the Immortal body turned into nothingness.

However, one second later, it materialized again from nothingness.

I squinted my eyes.

“Trik very interesting. It might be more useful with your real body here, but the power that can be demonstrated by mere projection is limited. ”

And I swung my sword again.

And again.

And again.

And again.

Each time, the Immortal projection was destroyed, and each time, he tried to reform it again.

Until the end, it was nothing more than a pitiful fragment of energy.
