After going through dozens of moves, he returned to his office. A friend who experienced my spatial shift for the first time blew a whistle.
“Whee, this is amazing. This is the Akasha estate, right?”
“okay”
My friend looked around my office and clicked his tongue.
“If you have a lot of money, spend some money, what is this?”
My office is never shabby or shabby. I just hate decorating.
“I don’t want to hear such a thing from you, who barely built a log cabin that leaked through the rain.”
“It doesn’t rain”
“I fixed the leak.”
When I first found my friend, I was living like a beggar’s hut. The log cabin now looks like a house thanks to my carpentry knowledge and my repairs.
Just when I was arguing with my friend like that, there was a little commotion, and Jake, Argin, and Joseph came in. All were fully armed.
“My lord, the preparations are complete. But who is this?”
“He is my friend. I brought it because I thought I might need strength.”
A 20-year-old young man’s friend looks solid, but a middle-aged friend in his 50’s was an unsuitable picture.
“I didn’t know you had such a friend”
“He was a friend before meeting Sir Jake.”
That’s not wrong. However, they are friends Jake made before he was even born.
“Hoo? Are your subordinates good enough?”
A friend looked at the three and praised them. To say it’s fair, all three of them would be among the strongest on the continent, who are at the level of mature masters, but they seem to be that much to their friends.
“You’re being a little rude even if you’re a friend of the lord.”
Argin took a step forward. It is a very hot-blooded age. He knew that he was a talent worthy of being left in the history of the continent, and he was full of confidence. He had already surpassed his teachers, Jake and Joseph, in terms of skill.
“Stop it, Argin.”
“Yes, lord”
At my command, Argin lowered his head and retreated. It was fortunate that he showed absolute loyalty to me even if he didn’t know about others. It was very dangerous to not have something to control such a strong person.
“Excuse me. It’s been a long time since I met someone. My name is Howard Calista.”
A friend politely introduced himself. Jake and Joseph’s complexions turned pale.
“Are you sure?”
“right.”
I gave the answer. That would be more believable.
“Master of the battlefield”
“The Devil’s Grandmaster”
Jake and Joseph spoke one word at a time. Argin didn’t notice at first, but later opened his mouth.
“The ruler of the battlefield, he was called that once.”
Howard murmured as if reminiscing for a moment. Howard made quite a name for himself. It’s just that it was too late to notice because I was with Drakan.
He single-handedly faced an army of 100,000 and ended the war. And that happened twice. In two battles, more than 20,000 enemy soldiers were cut alone. As it is the history of the victors, the record may be somewhat exaggerated, but it is undeniable that he ended the war alone.
He is a hero to his allies and a demon to his enemies. Above all, the shocking inaction he showed was enough to be recorded in the history books of the continent.
He was also the latest great man to go into selecting the strongest person in human history. There was a strong theory that he had already died because he lost his wife and disappeared, but he is alive here.
“Then, my current age, no, my age…”
Argin rolled his eyes as if he was doing the calculations in his mind. Judging by the calculations, he is already well over 100 years old. Well, if you’re a normal human, it’s a problem, but you’re not a human.
“Ugh! A warrior does not speak with his age, he speaks with his sword.”
“Excuse me.”
When Howard cleared his throat, Argin stopped counting and looked at Howard as if he had found the object of envy.
From Argin’s point of view, it would feel like meeting sweet rain in a drought. I was already growing like a monster, but I heard that you feel the wall and are struggling these days. However, it was only natural that the grand master who broke the wall appeared in front of him.
“Let’s talk later, let’s explain the situation now.”
I tried to explain why these terrifying warriors were gathered now.
“In the west of the Empire, a huge monster that lived in the deep sea is landing. It appears to be about half the size of the ecliptic. will be very strong So I brought Howard too.”
The horse is half of the ecliptic, and it is so large that the end cannot be seen. We have to stop that monster.
“Are we really supposed to stop that?”
Jake’s comments are valid. There is no particular reason why we should stop it. But if not us, who will stop it? If the best of the empire steps forward, can it be stopped? It would take over a month to move a large army from the ecliptic to the western part of the empire.
In the meantime, unless the demons return to the sea on their own, the West is destroyed. How many people will die in one month? I’m not one of those people who particularly believe in saving everyone’s life, but I tend to hate meaningless deaths.
“I mean I tend to think that people have a destiny. The power that Germain and I possess is very unreasonable by the standards of the world. What is the reason why God gave it? It must have been given to you to use when you need it, right now.”
Howard answered. Jake involuntarily nodded. After all, the longer you live, the stronger your tongue seems.
“Then let’s go first. It’s too late to go now.”
In fact, if it’s already too late, it’s too late. The monster hadn’t even landed yet, but the waves it created as it moved became a tsunami and hit the coastline. Small villages along the coast have been devastated. Of course, it is a disaster that cannot be prevented even if we knew it was coming.
After getting the party together, they started moving in space. Space movement is now almost fully matured. As long as it’s not to the extent of moving from the end of the western continent to the end of the eastern continent, you can stir the continent as much as you like by yourself.
However, it is still a little difficult for me to move with four people like this. It didn’t show on the outside, but it managed to move up a mountain a little away from the coast. The tidal wave isn’t over yet. The tsunami will continue to strike in the second and third waves.
“After that, it was hard.”
“You worked hard.”
After I finished moving, I sighed and Jake lowered his head beside me. Jake is still overly polite with me. According to Wither, he was a very loyal knight in his previous life and died for the Akasha family.
There was still some time left for the Demon Beast to land. I took out alcohol and snacks from the subspace.
“There’s still time, let’s have a drink”
It’s not that our demons get weaker when we’re impatient, and they’re not warriors who can relax after a drink or two.
“that’s good”
Howard was the first to take a seat. After that, they sat down one by one and went to drink.
“For now, let’s go ahead with the three of us without Howard and me, let’s see how far we can go.”
“All right.”
Argin was particularly eager to fight. It was a fighting spirit that was possible because he had not yet seen the Witchbeast. While I was spending time like that, I began to see the shape of the Witchbeast little by little in the distance. What looked like a dot was growing little by little.
The faces of the three began to get tired of the majesty of the monster that seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Howard had a surprisingly relaxed smile.
It took considerably longer than expected for the Witchbeast to set foot on land. In the meantime, huge tidal waves hit several times and swept through the lowlands.
Finally, the Witchbeast, which had risen completely above the land, took a deep breath and let out a roar.
aaa!
It wasn’t even the kind of roar mixed with the beast’s unique peer. I just screamed out loud. Even so, it was powerful enough to protect the ears using mana. If a normal person were nearby, they would have died instantly.
The appearance of the Demonic Beast fully revealed was truly grotesque. With the head of a crocodile with six pairs of legs and the body resembling a tortoise, the monster was truly an island in motion.
On the skin, various corals and reefs piled up and looked like rocks. It will be a defense in itself.
“under!”
After the monster’s roar was over, Argin let out a blank laugh as if it was absurd. Fortunately, it seemed that his fighting spirit was still burning.
Joseph and Jake were serious. This fight was of great significance to them as well. A warrior who has attained mastery rarely fights an opponent stronger than himself. At least, our territory has three masters, so they sparred with each other, but it’s not a life-and-death fight.
“I will go soon.”
Argin, who was overheated, warmed up first and stepped forward. Jake and Joseph slowly began to follow suit.
“If you don’t die, I’ll save you, so go wild.”
Leaving behind my support, the three superhumans ran like a gale toward the beast. Looking at its size, it is literally like an ant challenging a castle wall.
As the three disappeared into the distance, Howard opened his mouth.
“You know it won’t, right?”
“Perhaps”
No matter how much the three of them are warriors who have reached the limit of human beings, the opponents are not good. Rather, it would be better to face Black Drake, the king of the Dragon Mountains.
From noble mtl dot com.
“It’s not easy for three.”
“Have you ever dealt with that?”
“It’s not that, but I’ve been with the deep sea monsters a few times.”
Howard must have been doing a lot of things during that long time of wandering.
“How was it?”
“Anyway, my ability to fight in the water is limited, and even though most of those living in the deep sea have the ability to regenerate, their regeneration speed is much higher than that of trolls. They’re not picky guys.”
In the meantime, the three warriors and the witch finally met. The warriors started climbing on the Witchbeast’s legs. The thickness of one bridge seems to be 100 meters. There are so many substances accumulated on the skin that it looks easy to step on and climb, but it was easier than I thought.
As if he hadn’t intended to climb up his back with his legs, he stopped at the joint and started attacking. The swords with vivid auras cut through the thick-looking skin of the beast.
“It’s still split.”
“It doesn’t break”
As soon as Howard stopped talking, the tortoise-like skin returned to its original state. It would be amazing for the three of us.
“Can I deal with you?”
“You sound natural. There is nothing on earth that I cannot overcome.”
Howard said it was nothing. Howard was definitely stronger than I had ever seen before. I couldn’t even guess how strong it had become simply by looking at it as a soul.
Even at that time, the three warriors continued to attack, but it didn’t seem to be particularly effective. Even if the flesh was cut into chunks, it was regenerating without incident.
“Not yet”
“Still, that young boy will be strong.”
Howard pointed at Argin. It will. He is a talented person who will later be nicknamed the swordsman.
“Better than you?”
“If I were in human form, I might be.”
“Shall I ask you to step back?”
Dealing with them like that only made the three of them tired, and it seemed like there was no meaning to it. I space-shifted to the three of them, ordered them to retreat, and returned.
After a while, the three warriors returned and could not hide their angry expressions.
“How do you feel about dealing with them?”
No one answered the question. There’s no point in saying that it’s the same as just hanging on and hitting the wall.
“There are still lessons to be learned. especially argin”
It was an ordeal given to a genius who had nothing to fear in the world.
“I haven’t said anything in particular, but you aren’t even the strongest among humans. Let’s see… I’m guessing around 7th.”
This is the calculation I made, having all the continental information. Being the 7th strongest of all humans is a huge compliment. However, Argin had a shocked face.
“Master, Mr. Howard, and who else is there?”
In fact, me and Howard are not in that ranking. Aren’t you a pure human being?
“If I tell you, will you go and fight?”
At my words, Argin bowed his head again. This is probably what Jake was concerned about, but Argin still needs some time to mature.
Breaking the slightly heavy atmosphere, Howard turned his shoulders and stepped forward.
“Is it my turn now?”
