The Holy Sword's

The Hope..

It was as Katsumi had previously suspected that rumors about him had now spread to the country, especially the City of Ethereum.

"Have you heard the rumor of a hero who defeated a dark dragon by himself?" ask one of the 1 adventurers in Ethereal City

"It has been. but whether the rumors are true, it could be just a hoax"

"Yep. right. I still doubt that rumor"

"You guys, so, often come to the guild to get the latest info.more"

"Well, if that's true, surely this battle can be ended together with the help of the hero"

Another me..

"What are they talking about?" ask Kenji

"It seems like they are talking about a rumor that is circulating at this time, which is a rumor about the arrival of a hero who saved a village from the attack of a dark dragon" Kyouya replied

"A hero..is it possible that the hero is one of the 1 of the voltary knights?" ask Minori

"No. They say that the hero is human like me"

"It's impossible for a human being to have more power than a voltary knight" Minori said.

Glegg. glegg.

"But. if he is indeed a human, continue..Where did he get such great power?" ask Kenji

"It seems that he is indeed not an ordinary person.is it possible. said by the adventurer earlier that the arrival of this person can end this battle" said Kyouya.

In the west, right in a city that was previously invaded by a large army.

"Zang.. How would you respond if we went with the voltary knight across the street?" ask Katsumi

"Hm. which is certain I will always agree with the choice chosen by the master, even though the choice contains many risks" replied Zang.

"More masters today have awakened the power of the holy sword.Therefore, the power of the master will surely be needed somewhere in front of it"

"It seems that your words are indeed Zang, this power I have should be used to help others who are experiencing distress"

"Thank you Zang, because you have given your meaningful response directly to me" Katsumi added

"Sure sir, I will do my best for you"

"Oh yes Zang, how is the condition of your body and wings? is it getting better?" ask Katsumi

"Of course, my break yesterday has restored my condition for the better, so from that, I will do my best for you"

"Hahahaha.well if that's what you want Zang to be like"

Katsumi then exits her tent and meets a voltary knight

"Well.look around.the hero!" exclaim warrior

Katsumi looked around..

"I'm really not comfortable with my current condition!" katsumi said in her heart

"Oh.. Katsumi.. Is there any need for you to come here? ask Hoshi

"I want to meet the voltary knight, is he in this tent?"

"Oh, of course, I'll call him first.

"All right"

Then the voltary knight came out from inside the place..

"Knight. I singg.." suddenly Katsumi's speech was stopped by the voltary knight.

"You call me Arata, hero"

"... is it allowed?" ask Katsumi

"Of course I can. Who forbid you?" sahut Arata

"No. there is no kest. I mean Mr. Arata"

"Hm. Then, what do you need to do here?" ask Arata

"As the previous master said, that I am willing to go with you!" katsumi Sahut

"Good decision.well, we'll leave at 10 a.m., so prepare yourself and mentally"

"Good!" katsumi Sahut

In barracks (grouping place)

"I don't think you're gonna come with us, like this. I'm gonna feel safer. Hahahaha" said Hoshi

"Hahahaha.yeah, you're right.but you can do it again, because at this time we don't have 1 goal.we decided to come with you"

(Info, we \= Katsumi and Zang)

"So. you're gonna have to come with us?" ask Hoshi

"No-no, but on the contrary, we are grateful to have been given a chance to go with you"

"Ohh, that's right, good, hahahaha" Hoshi laughed.

"Already, if we continue to chat, our preparation will not be finished quickly" said Katsumi.

After preparing various equipment, replenishing the energy, our troops were ready to leave.

"Have you heard that the hero will be adventuring with us" said the soldier.

"That's true, if it were true, I would always be excited because he is now on our side"

"Yes you were right, and somehow my anxiety suddenly disappeared after learning that the hero with his great animal was coming with our entourage"

"Hey look. the hero sees us" whispered the soldier.

"Hi sir. hehehehe" said the soldier saying hello.

"Hahahaha hi too" Katsumi smiled.

"Hey katsumi.why are you smiling yourself, oh. turns out someone is greeting his fans yes" said Hoshi.

"Ehh. What did you say!" katsumi Sahut

"Hahahaha, but it's true, let's look around you. All our troops now suddenly feel more energetic and confident than usual.. maybe this can all happen because you are currently in our army, so they think you can be a motivator and protector of this army.."

"More.when compared to the strength of the voltary knights.your power is much greater than theirs. You can defeat the dragon yesterday alone without any help from anyone"

".... You're right, too. But are you sure that I can be what you say I am?"

"Of course, we believe that you can do it. You just need to be confident in yourself that you can do everything.. every big problem will be with your youth to solve"

"Em. alright, I will try to do it. all for the sake of ending this war!"

"Well, this is just my friend, a hero who is filled with great spirit" said Hoshi.

Mountains.the hills, cities, villages, valleys we have passed together.the obstacles that confront us are not a big problem.

"Zang. fire!" yell Katsumi

Cungg.. Zang shot his magic wave right about the enemy troops that were blocking

Ting! ting! ting!. The sound of clashing swords rang out everywhere..

Duarr.the sound of the witch's explosion..

"Spirit!" shouted Arata

"Yes!" yell at us all

A few moments later.. Katsumi emerged from the dense smoke of the battle with a sword she was holding (the ordinary sword)

"I don't think it turns out the rumor is true that the hero has a very big power" said several soldiers.

"Hufft, it's just your strength." Katsumi told the enemy's corpse.

"Zang! are you all right?" ask Hoshi

"Of course, I'm fine.they're all weak.Their attacks have absolutely no effect on me" Katsumi said.

"... Really. I was made miserable because of them!"

"I think you need to improve your fighting skills and also.forge your sword to be even sharper"

"All right!"

"All right, we treat the wounded first..after that, we continue this journey!" sahut Arata

Some of the troops wounded by the battle we immediately handled after everything recovered.

"Well, because now all the troops have recovered and our energy is too.

fully loaded.we will continue on this journey!" Arata Sahut

We continue the journey..

"I don't think the strength of the hero turned out to be really great.The proof, he could defeat a number of undead troops full of himself without the help of anyone. Moreover, within the troops he was facing, there were some powerful Necromencers" the soldier told his friend.

"Truely, surely in this way.the entire enemy army will be easily eradicated we will get victory from the results of the struggle we have been doing so far" said the soldier.

"Yes.you're right.I can't wait to smell the scent of freedom again"

"Katsumi, it looks like you have brought a huge influence to this army" said Hoshi.

"... It looks like it is.." Katsumi replied

"Katsumi.. Why are you.. You look so sad?"

"The enemy forces reminded me of where I lived, my parents, and my friends who died as a result of their actions"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad, and I'm sorry for the tragedy that happened to you" too"

"Yes, it's okay. none of this is your fault..."

"..Hm.." - Hoshi

"But you should be proud, because with the great power you have, you can avenge them and bring a victory to us all.."

"Hahaha.you're right." replied Katsumi who slowly returned to look cheerful.

"Well, like that dong. A hero's past is saddened by lamenting his past. Remember Katsumi, forget the past and make it a learning so you can be better for the future"

"Okay, Hoshi, thank you for your advice"

After walking through several corners of the country and crossing the border

"All troops! We have arrived in the city of Etherea for a moment, we will stay in the city!" shouted Arata

"Huft.. eventually we arrived also in the city of Ethereum.one of the 1 cities that still survive today" said Hoshi.

"Therea?" ask Katsumi

"Yes.before the world was attacked by enemy forces, this city became the place to provide the largest supply of weapons, magic accessories, medicine, and others"

"... I can't believe there is such a city that still survives" said Katsumi.

"Hahahaha, you're right, probably because the city has all kinds of powerful weapons, so they can easily defeat the enemy forces"

"Then from that, it looks like we will be safe for some time there" added Hoshi.

Our long journey was finally over in the city we were going to live in. Whether the city really still has the same power as in the past, or will even corner us in the future.For sure, we do not know anything about the future at all, we just hope that the strength of this city is still reliable. Because there have been many rumors circulating about powerful cities that have now been united with dust.
