The Overpower Hero

Chapter 16's

After creating another small meteorite, Seiya's figure shook in the sky.

「Are you okay, Seiya? 」

「I consume a lot of MP. I need a little rest to recover. 」

"I understand . For now, let's go back to Semul and rest in the inn. 」

He looked tired as he furrowed his brows. Maybe this is the first time it has happened to Seiya. That's kind of absurd. He ended up using that incredible magic for two times in a row. In the end, not only was his MP declining, he might as well be mentally exhausted.

Mumbled Seiya bitterly.

「MP me about 15,000 .. now ... only 13,500. 」

「But, you have a lot of MP members left, right !? 」

「You fool. It might be very difficult if the enemy targets me while my MP is this low. 」

「I want to know about it ... will it be that difficult …? Well, for now let's go to the inn. 」

With 13,500 MP remaining there should be no problem, but his eternal vigilance still amazes me; even so, we return to the city of Semul …

　

　

When we arrived at Semul city, I noticed that many other Knights had also arrived and they were all gathered together. The veteran knight from before saw us arrive and he ran towards us.

「I'm glad to see you're not hurt! ... Who won? 」

I'm telling the truth.

「They were destroyed …? All of the ten thousand undead …? Is that true? Well, not because I doubt you or anything like that, but .. 」

The other Knights looked at each other and started laughing. Even if that hero was indeed strong enough to defeat a large army of the undead, he had done so in just a few hours seemed somewhat unbelievable. Seiya took the memorandum and asked for a gift; they said in response 「We should get it first! 」, Some Knights mounted their horses and ran out of town.

The veteran Knight told us 「you must be tired」, and took Seiya and me to the nearest inn.

　

　

… It was our third morning since we stayed at the inn.

I lived in the room next to Seiya's; as I combed my hair, I heard someone knocking on my door.

「Yeah! So you're finally ready to go? …what? 」

I opened the door but the person standing there was not Seiya. I looked down and there was a curly haired girl wearing a robe waiting for me; it was Elle.

「Elle? 」

Elle looked rather grim as she nodded at me.

「Goddess, I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. Please listen to what I say. 」

「You make it sound so bad. What do you want to say? 」

「Mash disappeared two days ago. I looked for him and I couldn't find him anywhere. 」

「Maybe he's back in your village, isn't he? 」

「If that's the case, then I have to go back to see if he's really back ..」

Elle was about to cry but I touched her shoulder to reassure her.

「Elle, I'm sure he's fine. The undead army was defeated. I think the chances of Mash being in trouble are pretty low. 」

Elle's disposition got a lot better.

「Yes, I heard it. People in the city are talking about what happened. The hero is amazing. 」

「Well, I guess you could call it amazing. 」

" Where is he? Does he live in the next room? 」

I responded while taking a deep breath.

「He has been obsessed with training a new skill called" Synthesis "since then ..」

Yes that's right . After receiving the big reward, Seiya went to the weaponry shop and bought a lot of equipment; afterwards he closed himself inside his room. He wanted to train his newly acquired ability named "Synthesis". That was why Seiya wanted money so badly.

「First, I need to talk to Seiya to tell him that I'm going with you. I can't let you go alone. 」

" Went out with me…? 」

「I'll go with you. Let's go find Mash together? 」

" Is that okay? Because we are no longer friends .. 」

「That's what Seiya decided without my permission. Besides, as a goddess I can't let anyone get into trouble. 」

「Goddess, thank you very much! 」

Elle smiled broadly.

Elle and I came to Seiya's room and we knocked on her door; however, we got no reply from her.

「Seiya? Are you there? Can we open the door? 」

When I opened the door, Elle and I were astonished. Dozens of swords and protectors were scattered throughout the room. Seiya, who seemed to be focusing with his sword, finally realized our existence.

「Lista, look at this sword. 」

Seiya, who rarely showed her emotions, was confused when she showed her sword to me. I looked at it and I saw an elegant sword emitting silver luminosity; then I spoke.

「Don't tell me that this is a Platinum Sword !? That's amazing!! How did you make a sword like this from the beginning !? 」

「I have to change my experiment. At first, I combined the sword with another sword, but only its strength increased. In order to synthesize a powerful sword, I had to prepare another method, so I used a catalyst. 」

「Catalist? What was that? 」

「Hair goddess. I've found some of your hair in your room when you weren't there. I used it to combine with the steel sword, and I managed to synthesize the Platinum Sword. 」

My own hair …? She even entered my room without my permission …?

I fell silent; instead, it became a little more complicated.

Platinum Sword Platinum may need some treatment, so I should have more hair in reserve. Give me more of your hair. A thousand strings is enough. 」

「I'll be bald !! 」

When I refused her request, I noticed that Elle directed her eyes towards me as if she was looking at me respectfully.

「Amazing your hair! As expected of a goddess! 」

「Yeah, I think so! 」

Meanwhile, Seiya stepped further into the room and picked up a completely different sword. It was a strange sword with a bent and curved blade.

「However, this one failed. 」

Seiya said that he used one of my golden hair strings on the sword. However, the sword became twisted and had a strange format.

Elle flushed in front of me.

「Cannot ... it .. possible ..」

" Yes yes . Maybe this gets curly because of the other string hair? In other words, with curly hair, this strange sword was created. I'd like more of your straight hair. 」

「 Scream What !? 」

I chose the strings of my hair "scattering", I got a crooked sword and I shouted furiously.

「How dare you !! 」

I was so angry with Seiya that I tried to hit him with that "hairbrush sword" but at the same time, I heard a knocking sound. It was a familiar voice from the other side of the door.

" Excuse me . I have a delivery for Mister Hero. 」

That person is the landlady of the inn. When I opened the door, the landlady held a large object wrapped in cloth, and gave it to me. When I received it, it was surprisingly light despite its size, and I was able to pick it up myself.

" What is this? Who took him? 」

「I don't know what's in it. It simply says "a offering to the hero who defeated the undead". The one who gave it to me was a mysterious man wearing a veil. 」

After the landlady closed the door, Seiya looked at the thing with a suspicious look.

So, a goddess can be useful at times like this because I will not die. However, I opened the package of the object as instructed. From the inside, there was this large, full-length mirror. The mirror was wider than a normal full-length mirror and it could reflect two people simultaneously.

「Yeah, looks like a good gift ... huh? 」

I noticed that this mirror was more like a transparent plate similar to a glass. I put a plate next to the wall, but it just reflects transparency.

「What is this? 」

However, I heard a voice from the mirror that was supposed to be, and the transparency became colored.

* Voice screams * Elle and I were shocked.

「What happened to this thing? 」

… At that moment, a terrifying image was taking place in the full-length mirror. Someone appeared inside the mirror, that person was tied up in a chair with a rope in a dark room. The man's eyes were covered with a ribbon of cloth and his mouth was covered with a joke. The red stains on the clothes probably came from the blood.

Elle was the first to notice who it was. He pressed his mouth with his hand and said with a quivering voice.

「Destroy …! That ... Destroy …! 」

In a second, I could hear the sound of footsteps approaching and getting closer to where Mash was tied up. Suddenly, a man emerged from the edge of the full-length mirror and stood beside Mash; this man started talking to us.

「I want to know if you can see and hear us from there. Yes, from here, I can clearly see a man who may be a hero, a beautiful goddess and a cute red-haired girl. 」

The one speaking looked like a petite man wearing a black robe like a gloomy reaper. This person was bald and on his face were three eyes. This man is definitely not human. He continued to speak in a low voice.

「This mirror is so weird, isn't it? They had the power of a Demon King engraved within them. They can project images from any place no matter how close or far from each other. 」

Unexpectedly, the man snorted cynically.

「Yeah, I forgot to introduce myself. I am one of the four Demon King army generals, my name is Death Magra. Thanks to the Demon King, I got the special ability to "remove", in other words, to create the undead from the fallen human corpses. 」

I am caught in this terrible situation.

This man is Death Magra …! He was not in the undead line …!

「Yeah, that was a great attack. You destroyed a huge army of the undead and reduced them to nothing. You used sky magic? It was a terrifying power. I'm glad I only control the undead from afar. By the way… "

Death Magra approached the full-size mirror to show us some possessions.

「Do you know what this is? 」

I was horrified when I realized that the Death Magra was holding a human finger in its hand.

「I want to know if there is still anything left? Soon, this poor boy would no longer be able to hold items with his hands. 」

Elle was shaking beside me.

「... no, no, this is unlikely to happen. 」

Death Magra laughed happily when she heard the frightened Elle.

「Ya, I'm having fun. I am very amused now. Playing around with a living human is very entertaining. Playing with corpses was boring because they felt nothing and they would not scream as well. 」

Then, the Death Magra grabbed Mash's head and placed a knife on his neck.

「But, I'm bored and tired. I'm going to kill him now. 」

The sound of Elle's screams echoed everywhere. Right at that moment, Death Magra directed her cruel eyes towards us.

「Hero, this is your whole mistake. You destroyed my army using your cowardly tactics. 」

Then, Mash began to move on the chair as he realized the Death Magra's ruthless intentions.

"God . He wanted to beg for his life? 」

He took Mash's joke out of his mouth. Mash took a deep breath and then he spoke in a trembling voice.

「Dia .. Hero. So, you ended up dropping an army of ten thousand dead bodies that .. 」

Mash raised his voice against unimaginable pain and fear.

「You fucking hero !! But, I must admit that you are the real one !! It's true that I'm not like you !! But please .. 」

Tears of blood flow through the eye patch.

「Please ... save the world at my place … !! 」

I immediately turned my eyes away from the full-size mirror, as I could no longer bear to continue listening to Mash's cry.

I can't bear to watch. I can't stand listening. Mash may know that he can no longer be saved. That's why he entrusted his wish to Seiya, whom he hated long ago.

The death Magra spoke with a bored face.

"God? You're not begging for your life? However, during your torture, you shed so many tears that I was overjoyed. Well, I guess I won't be able to have any more fun with you. 」

Elle firmly grabbed my arm.

"Goddess! Please, save Mash! I won't ask for anything else, just Mash, just him! So, please…! Please…! 」

I tried my hardest to think of something. But I cannot think of a way to help Mash in this situation.

When I took my hand silently, Elle fell to the floor and cried so much.

「I don't want to believe this ... someone .. someone please help Mash ..」

Magra's death laughed happily, as she saw how desperate the two of us were.

"Religion . I understand it well. Even if you defeat the ten thousand undead army, in the end you will not be able to save one important person. 」

However, as the Death Magra looked at us, Seiya's face stiffened.

"Oh baby! What's wrong, hero. This is not the time to get angry about trivial things like this. According to the story I heard, you seem to be being too cautious; I wonder if that caution made you detect this place and infiltrate some of your friends here? 」

After he finished speaking, this man revealed his true nature and laughed with an evil face.

「 Laugh loudly Too bad, because it's impossible !! You called a hero !? You are so helpless !! Just watch as I cut this brat's neck !! 」

Even with this terrible scenario, Seiya did not change her skin much, instead she whispered in my ear.

「Lista. Open the heavenly portal. 」

"Yes nih . But ... 」

No matter how much time we can delay in the world of Gods, it is impossible to save Mash from being cut off now.

「Open it. Because ... 」

Seiya continued to ignore the Death Magra until now and remained calm as usual as he spoke.

「Are you sure you want to kill the dragon boy Mash? I'd have to say you have the guts. You have to prepare yourself and start "collecting" your stuff. 」

Magra's death changed her attitude when she heard Seiya's words.

"Hey you're there . What did you just say? 」

「... I always use simulations for similar situations. 」

「So, what do you want to say? 」

Magra's death became extremely frustrated now. I also don't understand what Seiya is trying to say.

「It's the same as Chaos Makina. I saw from the crystal ball that Nina's father would be killed. I thought, “what should I do”. In situations like this when I can't afford to waste time, it's important to find a solution, so I've been thinking about it for a long time. 」

At that moment, Seiya dropped his scabbard and gripped his sword. Noting the offensive attitude, the Death Magra opened its three eyes wide and deeply distorted its mouth.

「This idiot! Is he in a position to attack? I was just reflected through that mirror, I wasn't really there! Your sword can't reach me! 」

He put his knife back down Mash's throat again.

「 Evil laugh This is your punishment for destroying my army !! 」

"Please stop!! 」

Elle screaming. However, I observed Seiya instead of watching Mash on the verge of his death.

A part of the sword came out from Seiya's sheath and shone brightly. At that moment, he whipped out his entire sword; it emitted a light so intense that even my eyes could not see it directly; and he retorted towards the mirror! At the same time, the Death Magra arm holding the blade flew and there was black blood spilling everywhere!

Magra's death screams when she realizes that her arm is cut off and missing.

「 Screaming Aggressive This … !! What the hell is going on…!? 」

After the attack with the swinging sword, Seiya looked at the Death Magra again but with eagle eyes.

「This is a sword made of photons that splits through space ... it is" Dimension Blade "…! 」
