Chapter 309 – The Hero’s Nemesis

Light embroidered the sky. All of them were Nanar’s body.
That huge figure that brightly lit up the black night… I could only say that it was a god.

“What’s going on with that…”

The user who was watching from under the path of light.
Ranked 4th, Kang Geom-il.
He, who had not been seen on the floating island for a while, put a white horse beside him and made a face of astonishment.

Users were not alone.
Even if they didn’t inform them, the rankers secretly sent their alter egos to see this biggest festival.
Adele, including Pristan, who burns with a friendly spirit. Patra. And poise.
In addition, many users…
While there was only speculation about what exactly happened between Dre and Nanar, the fanaticism that appeared at the Holy Ghost Festival brought even greater confusion.

Not just users.
Of course, while watching one of the biggest festivals on earth…Whether on a floating island or on the ground, all the students at Prunar Academy were opening their mouths.
In particular, Lenea, including the instructors who were preparing for the unfortunate event, muttered in amazement.

“What the hell is this all about…”
“…”
“…”

The two of them looked up at the sky as if agreeing with Lenea’s words.
Witches Emily and Mullin.
Mullin looked at Nanar in disgust, and Emily stared at Dre’s face embroidered in the sky more than Nanar.

“It’s always fresh to see that person.”

Lenea’s words sounded exactly like Emily’s.
Just one thing.

“…God.”

Only Alfred was trembling with his eyes wide open, showing no signs of delight.
Lenea quietly warned.

“Alfred. If he goes, he won’t hear anything and will just be tied up.”

But Alfred didn’t listen and was shot out, and Lenea let out a sigh.
Emily and Mullin looked at each other as if asking for orders, but Renea had nothing to say.
She won’t be able to get anything from me anyway.
She just watched people in astonishment and emotion.

The same goes for everyone else.
Even though they were waiting for the event that the hero and his comrades would have a speech, they did not expect it to be to this extent.
They had no doubt that Nanar was real.
To be suspicious… The greatly amplified holy power of the followers of the Holy Kingdom. And the shaking Ryunar…
And absolute presence.
All of that tells us that a true god has emerged.

And this was a major event that could change the landscape of the continent.

“Emergency lights will turn on in other religions. The Holy Kingdom will strike out…!”
“Is that the problem? Nanar, Nanar-sama himself descended…!”

At first, only the followers of the holy kingdom knelt, and ordinary people stood and folded their hands together, but now everyone kneels.

The situation was not much different for the personnel in the path of light.
Hostility did not immediately turn into goodwill.
However, like a sandcastle that seemed to collapse at any moment from an unshakable rock, it was obvious that the cardinal or the paladin… Or even Raffnir, their hostility toward Dre and Kitz was shaken.
As if trying to shake off the shaking, Raffnir shouted. No, he was about to shout.

[My child. Raffnir.]

Rapnir, who was about to speak, fell flat on his face and let out a voice that was moved.

“Yes…! My god!”
[I felt the religiousness about me very well. However, stop persecuting them.]
“…!”
[It was misunderstood, but it was all my tests… And the current hero, Kaitsu Hiro, and my sword passed eight tests.]

“It’s fucking bullshit.”
“Dre. Shh.”

Dre couldn’t stand it and cursed at him, and Katz stabbed his side with an elbow.
However, Kitz’s expression was not much different from Dre’s, which looked like he had been bitten by an insect.

[Withdraw your hostility. My children.]

Whose words are you going to disobey?
Yeah yeah! Of course, Rapnir is crying with emotion. Even the Holy Knights, who shed tears in embarrassment, reaped their holy power.
However, the two cardinals still expressed their disbelief.

“What…! Those two are undoubtedly heretics…!”
“This is nonsense!”

It was the old woman and the Pope.
At least the old woman had a hint of guilt in her tone, but the pope was very angry.
Rather than faith, the two wanted this incident to put pressure on the warriors, Katz and Yeodre, so that they could handle their armed forces.
However…

[Dare.]

Nanar’s voice changed like thunder, and the two of them couldn’t help but stiffen.

[Do the children who say they follow my will ignore my will and frame my lovely sword and my warrior?]
“That, that’s not it…!”

A pillar of light illuminated the pope and the old cardinal.
The two religionists shuddered as if it were clearing out their filthy hearts.

“Izavu Jurdan! Pope Megirfa…! Get down on your knees…!”

Even the most rational Silvert had bloodshot eyes and screamed.
The old woman knelt before him, and the pope shivered on one knee.

[Jurdan. I understand your actions, but what you want to hold on to is a rotten rope.]
“…!”
[Megyrpa. All the things you did for the sake of me… Yes. Still, I had to be patient. However, you doubt my people and speak vulgar words!!]

Kwurrrring!

Light stretched out like thunder.

[Don’t take my holy power from you guys. You guys won’t be able to use my power for the rest of your life! You won’t even be able to say my name!!]

Nanar’s words did not stop at threatening.
All the followers felt that the Holy Law and Holy Power fluctuated, and that the holy power dwelling in Jurdan and Megirpa disappeared as if it had been washed away…

“Ah, ah! Nanar!! Forgive me for this foolish izavu…!”
“Uh, uhhhhh…Ah!”

Pope Megirpa, who was still standing on one knee due to his greed and pride from the power he had tasted so far, finally knelt down on his knees and plunged his head into the ground.

“This old man has committed a mortal sin…! Lord God! Please forgive me just once…!”
[Forgive me?]

There was still anger in Nanar’s voice.
All fell prostrate in the wrath of God, and the faithful glared at the Pope and Cardinal Isabeau as if they were going to kill them.
Even Raffnir, who pushed forward with this project and was closest to them, was no exception.
At this moment, all decision-making power rested with Nanar.
Everyone must have thought so.
But.

[What do you think. It is my sword.]

Contrary to earlier, Nanar called out to Dre in a distinctly softer voice.
The light gathered and illuminated Dre.
Merdan and Megirpa, realizing that Dre had the say, knelt toward him.

“D-Dregon! Forgive the old man for his ignorance…! If you want, I can tell you something you might be curious about…!”
“Help me just once, stranger Dre…! Please, relieve Nanar-sama’s anger…!”

At the words of the two old men, who were mixed with faith and greed, Dre said calmly.

“Ji…”

Match.

Katz slapped Dre in the mouth with the palm of his hand, and Dre, who was in agony, kicked Dre out of the stomach with his foot and said,

“Just give it back.”
[I’m not willing to do that.]

At the end of the words, the holy power dwelled in Merdan and Megirpa’s bodies again.
No, even greater power than before.

[I hope you don’t forget what you guys said earlier. It is the strength for that.]
“I’ll keep that in mind!”
“I will engrave it on my heart!”

Thump. Nanar laughed, not even looking at the two old men who were banging her head.

[Am I hated? Warrior It is my sword.]
“…”
“…”

Silent kits and Dre with the expression of a sick man.

[It deserves it. I tested you by changing my form into a beast in the cave of the sea god.]

Hearing the sound for the first time sent amazement running through the hall again.
Rumors… It wasn’t just rumors that God appeared with the Beast!
This… Was truly something that would be recorded as a myth.

[And the hero fought with me on an equal footing, and my sword definitely cut through me… Ah… Yes. That bravery I’ve only seen once in my long and long life… A warrior, and eight days of my sword. You are the ones who are worthy of ‘Pryunar’.]

Users who had been watching blankly at the word Prunar flinched.
The Elyunar people were just moved and burning their faith.
Now people were bowing to Dre and Kitz as well as Nanar.

[Hero Kits. Your light was as bright as mine, eight days. Your flame was dazzling enough to fade my light.]

Nanar opened his arms.

[A prize for the warriors who passed the ordeal.]

Two small pillars of light descend
Those with good eyesight saw that the light was a sword engraved with a pattern, and a sword that looked ordinary at first glance.

The patterned sword went down to Kitz, and the plain sword went down to Dre.
Kitz received the sword safely, but Dre, who had endured it well until now, did not move, showing signs of disapproval.
Then, at some point, he raised his arm and grabbed the sword.

“Ohhh…! The Sword of Light grabbed the Holy Sword…!”

Someone’s words.
At some point, it seemed that Dre was the sword of light, and that sword had already been confirmed as the holy sword.

“By the way, what is that wrapped around the wrist of the Sword of Light over there?”
“It must be a bracelet that Nanar gave me as a blessing…!”
“Huh? I don’t know why, but the Sword of Light is waving his arm?”
“Look how happy you are!”
“Why does it look like someone is forcing it… But there’s no way that’s the case!”

The users knew that Nanar had bound them with light and forced them to hold the sword, but in this fanaticism, they did not dare to mention it.

[My sword and hero… The reason I showed myself this time is because I was convinced that you were the ones who would destroy the demons and evil that had been going on for a long time.]

Na Nar opened his arms.

[The two beings ask you to punish the evil demon, protect people, and eliminate the true demon that will one day be resurrected. I will always be your strength for that, and you will be treated as I am…]

When they were told to treat the two as if they were Nanar, the followers affirmed and prostrated themselves even more.
I was worried that it would break through the floor.

[After a while…Gorgeous. One of the ‘monster kings’ will appear. My warrior And my dear sword. Repeat training for that time.]

The surprise repeated several times again.
Users trembled at the prophecy that an ancient monster would appear.

[He is just the beginning… All sorts of trials will haunt you later.]

A voice full of regret.
People were moved by the god’s kindness, and the expressions on Katz and Dre’s faces rotted away.

[However, I believe that you will overcome all those trials. So, I’m trying to give titles to those who want to achieve achievements that no one other than Prunar has achieved.]

Nanar’s face looked at Kitz.
Kitz… It was only to the extent that Dre, who was right next to her, could feel it, but she got down on one knee with a terribly reluctant expression.

“I’ll accept it.”
“…I’ll take it.”

Dre reluctantly followed.

[First of all, Hero Kitz. There is only admiration for the ability that is superior to any other warrior and the good heart that is proportional to it. Just as there are true demons in horses, will there be sincerity in goodness and bravery… I give you the name of a ‘true warrior’…]

“A true hero…!”
“A true hero! Kitz!”
“Hero! Warrior!”
“Kaitshiro!”
“The true hero, Hiro Kaitsu!!”

The cries of the believers who could not bear the brunt.
Kitz lowered his head, as if thrilled, but Dre knew he was embarrassed.
However, since he was a reincarnated person who has been regressing, he was good at hiding his emotions.
Just as Dre was about to open his mouth to provoke him, Nanar came closer and looked apologetic.

[My sword. I am truly sorry for testing you. However, because of that, I found a fire that will consume both gods and demons… Even the light will fade…]

“…”

[My swords in the past have been called ‘Swords of Light’, but I feel that even that name is fading to you. Dear love, who is not attached to me. Therefore for you. I will give you a name that combines my will and your will.]

When Dre pretended to vomit at the lovable part. Nanar declared.

[Eight days with a flame that is no different from light! I will give you the name of the ‘sword of madness’!]

“And, the sword of madness…!”
“The sword of madness…!”
“Eight swords of mad flame…!!”
“Eight days!! Eight days!!”
“Geoeoeoomoo of madness!!!”
“Aaaaa! Mad flame!”
“”Eighties!! 8 days!! 8 days!!””
“”Insanity!! Madness!! Inflammation!!”

The swords of mad flames that echoed from the ground suddenly became a chorus and resounded in the sky.

“…”

Dre covered his face with his hands. But I couldn’t cover my reddened ears…
Kitz was killed.

“That’s a nice name.”
“A bitch…”

However, the followers seemed to be thrilled with the action, but rather the voices of praise grew stronger.

[It’s about time… Beautiful saintess. In the future… I hope you will pass on my will to the true hero and the sword of mad flame…]
“I’ll follow your orders.”

The saintess, who once decided to fight in Dre’s favor even if Nanar’s will came down… Thought this situation was better, so she just affirmed.
Isn’t it more fun than anything else?
As the saintess saw Dre in pain, she secretly giggled.

[Now is the time to leave. Now then, my children, take good care of the true hero and the lovely sword of mad flame…]
“That shit…! Eup.”
“I know how you feel, but bear with it.”

Kitz tries to stop Dre from going into a seizure after saying that he is lovable for the number of times.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Nanar was condensed and seemed to be disappearing while shining more and more brightly, so attention was focused on it, so no one noticed her Dre’s actions except the saintess and Kitz.

[I’m counting on you. Warriors.]

Flash!

The planet itself takes a turn… And the sky goes dark again.
However, this time, light surged from the ground.
The thrilled believers radiate their own divine power to bless the day when the gods descended and the appearance of warriors who will destroy the devil.

“Aaaaa! Nanar! Nanarshi!”
“The madness has descended!”
“Jusin-nii, he personally takes care of us!”
“What other warriors are there! What other faiths are there!”
“God, Advent…!”

The thrilled believers were using their holy power to brighten the world.

“A true hero!!”
“Sword of madness!!”

And the paladins and cardinals, who had been hostile until just now… Were bowing to Dre and Kitz with all their arms and knees on the ground.
It was not much different from the believers on earth.

“Nanar’s agent!”
“Two warriors chosen by fanaticism!”
“The sword of the Lord! A true warrior and a sword of madness…!”

In the chaos, those preparing for the aftermath that will lead to this great incident.
Those who are genuinely happy.
And those who are anxious.
In the midst of the dichotomy, the culprits, Katz and Dre… Were looking at the distant mountains.

“…That’s amazing. My real nemesis might have been him…”
“I’m going to fuck you like this…”

Both of them slightly raised their evaluation of Nanar…
