Chapter 1899 – [Hero & Demon King & Great Demon King]

The uninvited guest did not come right away. Well, I was only vaguely feeling it, so it was clear that it would come within a few days, even if not right away. In preparation for that, I prepare various things.

First, home. To be precise, we are preparing to evacuate the villa we used to live here. It was originally created separately by Horizon, so in case of emergency, only the villa can be moved and stored separately, so there is no problem with that.

“What are you doing?”

“Preparing to move.”

“Where are we moving to?”

“Moving, is there anything else you need to do to change your place of residence?”

“We’ll have to wait and see. But at least I think I’ll need it.”

And after making various preparations, such as a preserved meal, the uninvited guests finally started to come.

Oh, actually, they are not uninvited guests, but uninvited guests. This is because there were many people coming this time and their level was significant.

About 100 humans made up of experts. And those people are all people who believe in Holy Gwangshin, the god of warriors, and who have learned the holy law and are stronger than people of the same weight class with special abilities. In short, just as the warrior is a sword master but boasts even more specifications thanks to the holy method, they were sword experts but had even more skills… They were such threatening guys.

Roughly speaking, you can think of about 100 people who are less than sword masters attacking you. Perhaps, with that level of troops, it would be a bit difficult for the warriors. Even more so if you are close and don’t want to kill them.

“It’s coming… I wonder what to do with this.”

“Hey, what’s going on?”

“I guess there are some people who don’t want you or Leo to receive training from me. To be exact, there are people who don’t like it when a hero receives training for something other than what it’s like to be a warrior. I guess that’s why I sent someone. I don’t want to resolve this quietly.”

“That…!!!”

“I will destroy you!!!!!!”

“Just look at it first. Since you have to be sure about everything, you have to first check if the line is crossed and then punish it.”

The villa is prepared for separate storage. If an emergency arises, you can keep the whole thing and save it for later.

Although it was an impromptu building, I have grown fond of it after raising Agape and Leona over the past few months. As it was a house like that, it could not be abandoned, so a means of saving it for later was needed. If not, I would have thrown it away a long time ago.

Anyway, guests are coming. About 100 sword master-level knights decided to climb up the rugged Sky Mountains in no time. And when they reach our villa, they manage to be polite and in a fighting stance.

First, I think of one possibility and go outside to greet the uninvited guests. The paladin who was in front bowed his head and greeted the warrior.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, warrior. I’ve come to pick you up.”

“Commander Rylan of the White Light Knights… What are you doing here? Why did you come?”

“I have come to collect the hero on behalf of Leonhard. Now, let’s go.”

“Where are you going? And why is Captain Rylan here and not Master? Please tell me.”

“Leonhardt has been placed on probation by the Pope. So we have come to pick you up.”

“Master? No, why? Master, you wouldn’t have done anything worth it?”

“It’s because I made presumptuous remarks about the hero. So it was only natural that I received such a punishment.”

It seemed like it was Leonhard’s personality to accept what was said and try to change it. On the contrary, the Holy Light Temple seems to be opposed to the education of warriors due to the stubbornness typical of religious people.

Well, they may have many different thoughts. There may be many thoughts, such as having to efficiently raise the only sword to smite the devil, or raising it to your own taste, but in the end, it is someone else’s opinion. And the warrior is a party, not a machine. The kind of person who will explode once it accumulates.

“Let’s go together, warrior.”

“What if I refuse?”

“Then, first, I have no choice but to threaten the master who taught you for a while… And his daughter. So please follow me, hero.”

“…”

Oh, you’re threatening me and saying you’re going to kill her agape?

Honestly, if I were a simple sword master, this would be enough troops. A sword master would not have been able to deal with paladins of a similar level while protecting a child.

The same applies even if a warrior joins. No, rather, it was something he did because he knew that the hero would not be able to kill him, as he was a familiar face. In order to subdue without killing, we need three times that much power, and if we distribute it well, the power of the knights over there will be enough to deal with us.

After realizing the situation, I pushed the warrior back. When I gestured, the warrior seemed worried, but took a step back and respected my thoughts.

“So, are you saying that the Holy Light Temple will be against me?”

“That’s not it. What I mean is that I will teach you in a more correct direction. Because you have a duty to defeat the Demon King…”

“Isn’t a hero a human being? Is it okay for him to live his entire life unable to do what he wants because of the duty he has been given? And is it okay for him to harm innocent people for that purpose?”

“You may not have done it intentionally, but you are guilty as well. It is the crime of making the warrior who was supposed to defeat the Demon King goes down a different path due to his wrong desires.”

“Is it a sin to teach a warrior how to live like a human being? If that is a sin… Then you are nothing but trash surrounded by arrogance and stubbornness.”

“… Everyone, take the sword.”

Chaaaaang!!!!

Soon, all the Holy Knights drew their swords. Full plate armor, plus a shield. In modern times, dozens of tanks are like a group of troops, but in front of me they are just insignificant.

“Yes, I understand roughly. Your level is so boring that I want to kill you.”

“What are you talking about…”

“Kneel.”

Wooooo!!

Soon, a huge pressure weighed down the Paladins. It’s quite amusing to see sword master-level fighters unable to resist properly and standing still, barely able to kneel after being crushed.

Even if I become a Sword Master, Nabal, and Grand Master, I cannot withstand even my telekinesis as a Lord. However, the injuries that occur while resisting it are a separate problem, so it was a problem to use it on drunk Agape or Leona, but for those who don’t mind getting hurt, it doesn’t matter where it breaks or not.

“Ugh!!! Ugh!!! Ugh!!!”

“Wow!!!!”

“What the hell is this!!!!!!”

“You guys think I’m just a sword master… I’m much stronger than that, right? At most, you came to kill me with a group of knights? Then you’ll have to die.”

The warrior stopped me with trembling eyes. Since he was someone I knew well, it was a natural act considering the hero’s personality.

“Woah, Worst!!!!”

“Leona. You decide. I could tear everyone here to death, but I will respect your choice. Even though they will be hostile to us later…”

Killing them is easy. It’s not difficult to twist the neck of people who have no reason to look at you, whether they are a Sword Master or a Grand Master.

But it was Leona who caught it. Leona’s feelings of being offended were far more important than their lives.

“… Please save me. Just this once.”

“What if it’s only this time?”

“Next time, if we are hostile again… I will leave it to Mr. Worst then.”

“Okay, okay then.”

In response, I released the telekinetic power that was suppressing them. They were trembling and looked at me, barely able to breathe properly.

It will be difficult to stay here any longer. Since the Holy Knights alone wasn’t enough, the idiotic upper class will next bring an army to deal with me and take away the warrior.

In the end, you will realize that it is meaningless only when at least a third of the temple’s troops are lost. In the worst case, you won’t even know if half of it is gone. It’s similar to a gacha game where you bet 1 million won, and it doesn’t come out, but if you stop now, you’ll lose money, so it’s similar to drawing until it comes out.

“Get out of here, you are no match for me. If you want to take a hero with you, why don’t you come down to Seonggwangshin himself and bow down to me?”

“Ugh… Aaaaa!!!!!!!”

And when I turned my back on them, the leader of the knights, named Rylan, rushed towards me. He gains momentum with some holy method or something, and with his sword energy turning black, he swings the sword towards my neck.

In response, I just lifted my finger and acted like it was no big deal. Then, the one who was running was caught in the air, and his limbs were broken, and his neck was twisted, and he died an ugly death in a non-human form.

“Turn it off.”

“All right, Captain!!!!!!”

“Monster, monster…!!!!!”

“Grand, Grand Master!!!”

The Holy Knights are shocked to see me like that. The sight of twisting a master-level paladin to death without even touching him was bound to be a cosmic horror from that perspective.

However, what I cared about was this side, not that side. Aside from the Paladin that I twisted and killed, I looked at Leona and asked.

“He attacked again, so I killed him. Do you have something to say?”

“… No, there is none.”

“Okay, then.”

It seems like he thought a bit too much, but at least the warrior didn’t express his dissatisfaction openly. Accordingly, this incident was also overlooked.

The White Light Holy Knights that had gathered retreated. To be exact, it wasn’t just a bite, but there were a few people left behind to monitor me, but they were all within my detection range, so I twisted them all to death. Probably, monsters will pass by and eat the corpse later.

Eventually, we decided to decide our future actions. Since it would be difficult to stay here since they came, I decided to run away first.

“It’s going to fly, so pack your luggage. Remember when we went camping before? Take only what you can carry and leave the rest.”

“What are you going to do if you leave it behind? Won’t humans destroy it?”

“There is no problem because we will move the entire house to a safe place. And Leona…”

“I’ll follow you.”

“Okay, then let’s run away in peace.”

The house is moved to Horizon using the Dimension Gate. The sight of the villa disappearing as if it were being eaten through a gap in the split dimension was quite a sight to see.

Agape is just awesome!!! She was, to put it mildly, shocking, but the hero seemed to think it was great magic. Actually, considering Horizon’s nature, it is more science than magic.

“It’s an amazing magic. What wizard created this magic?”

“Uh, this isn’t magic… No, I’ll explain later.”

After packing only the necessary luggage, we began to descend the Sky Mountains. Among the information about this place obtained from Horizon, there was also a map of the continent, so it wasn’t that difficult to get directions and go down.

However, he disguises himself to hide his identity. Since they are such a unique group, if they wander around like this, they will definitely get caught.

“Agape’s blonde hair is probably common, so there’s no problem… Leona, is black hair common here?”

“Huh? No, it’s rare. Same goes for my gray hair.”

“Then Leona will have to dye her hair.”

“What about Worst?”

“What am I?”

“Wow!!! Worst’s hair color is the same as mine!!!!!”

I changed my hair color right away. Since you can change your gender, changing your hair color is a simple matter. Oh, and in addition, the face is changed to look a little older. Approximately mid to late 30s.

Agape’s eyes lit up when she saw my hair, which was the same blonde color as hers. It’s not a big deal, but children like to resemble their parents even in small details, so it looks cute.

“Leona, you have to dye your hair. What color do you want? I have normal white hair, so I think it would be easy to dye it any color.”

“Then I’m blonde too.”

“Uh, aren’t there any other colors you like?”

“If I’m going to live in disguise, it’s better to be like family. I can’t stand out and dye my hair a different color.”

“Then what?”

Leona had white hair, so dyeing it was easy. She brought in a good hair dye from Horizon that didn’t damage her hair and dyed it, making it a bright blonde, if not white blonde.

Seeing the three of them with blonde hair side by side, they look like a family. However, compared to Agape and Leona, I have an average appearance, so it doesn’t suit me a little, but I can cover it up when the kids say I look like their mother. No need to go far. Eden is my daughter, but she looks just like Zion.

“But we can’t just run away. What should we do?”

“Over there…”

“Oh, yes. Tell me, Leona.”

“I want to go rescue her master. Is that okay?”

“Your teacher?”

“Yes, it is said that you have been placed on probation, but it is unlikely that you will accept the punishment easily. Moreover, looking at your behavior after leaving the temple…”

“It wouldn’t be surprising if they put you in prison for being a heretic. It’s unlikely that the Sword Master will be easily caught, but it’s not like there’s no way.”

The guys who tried to deal with me and pick up the hero in the first place were troops that could deal with at least a sword master. There are things like poison, and there are plenty of ways to suppress them.

He was a person who knew he was wrong and tried to correct it… But it seems like the higher-ups were even more corrupt. I think it would be better to go and rescue that person and destroy the temple at the same time. God, itself is not bad, but if the people who believe in that god are shit, then we need to call them out.

“But Leona, you know I don’t have a very good personality. If he attacks me, I’ll kill him. I don’t know how many people will die in the process of rescuing him. Is that okay?”

“That’s…”

You have a timid personality by nature. I wonder if a warrior would willingly consent to someone dying.

But it is not a matter to be decided right away. But it’s a question I’ll have to decide on this trip. All you have to do is take your time and help yourself make the right choice.

“Well, let’s think about it as we go. I think you can learn a lot too.”

Apart from Leona’s education… I feel bad about going to harass those fucking religious bastards!!!! Stress relief fun!!!!!
