Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 73

EP.73 Prona Kingdom Capital

“…and that’s how I ended up marrying everyone and living happily ever after.”

“I’m so proud of being openly cheated on.”

“Ac, you always give me a pint cup every time I bring up a story? I’m not breaking the law, I’m legally married to several people. What’s wrong with that?”

“Think with that short head. Would your wives like to have a joint wedding? Because you are a playboy in the world, I had no choice but to accept it. Hey, it’s Cloud. Don’t be like that.”

“No matter how much you say that, would this guy’s heart lean toward my story? Because a harem is a man’s romance!”

“You sound like a romance!”

Eredna, a beautiful-looking female psychic, yelled at the handsome male psychic, Drake. She nagged some more and then turned to Cloud.

“Forget those stories and listen carefully to what I tell you from now on. That would be more helpful.”

“Hey, hey. don’t listen to that It is a pride of self wrapped up in a heartwarming story of how she endured many dangers of fidelity, but in the end she kept her fidelity.”

“Are you proud? When did you say I was bragging?”

Enedna frowned as Drake clicked his tongue.

“Did I listen to you once or twice? When you talk, you explain in detail the origins and abilities of the men you have been secretly courting.”

“It tells the story objectively…”

“I like being objective. You’re a woman to the point of being wooed by such great men, and she’s such an amazing woman who has kept her chastity! you mean by turning It’s humbling anyway.”

“Humming?! Hey, did you say everything?!”

Enedna shuddered and grabbed Drake by the neck, but he only sold his ear with a look of disinterest.

Enedna’s face rotted.

“Guys, stop fighting. It’s not something you can see in front of the heroes of that time.”

When the mood worsened, the spirit of a brave warrior who looked naive intervened and tried to stop them…

“Shut up you idiot who doesn’t even know how to think of a woman!”

“Get rid of the bastard who lost the woman to the demon king.”

Wounded by Enedna Drake’s verbal abuse, he squatted down on the floor.

The other warrior spirits smiled as if they were familiar with it and passed it over.

Cloud took a deep breath.

‘Where did it go wrong?’

Seven spirits appeared while talking to the king.

It was the souls of the warriors absorbed in the soul stone.

Among them, Silas, who claims to be the first hero, said that the story about the Soul Stone was true and asked him to release the king.

Cloud was slightly stunned at their appearance.

It’s the first time I’ve ever seen a soul absorbed in a soulstone move freely outside.

Even Cloud was like that, so the King need not speak.

More than bewildered, he was astonished, and after all the fuss, he left, mourned by Silas’ polite shouting.

After that, the crumpled hero asked to introduce himself.

‘It’s like this.’

Now was the time to look at Enedna and Drake, who had started Maggora, and Cloud’s forehead wrinkles were about to deepen.

“This, you will only show shameful images to the heroes of the day.”

The first hero, Sylas, approached and sat down next to Cloud.

“Are you disappointed?”

“No. It’s full of personality and looks great.”

The hero who made the harem.

A Hero who took pictures of pure love.

A hero whose woman was stolen by the Demon King.

A hero who suffered alone in a dark fantasy, etc.

All the heroes here were full of personality.

Rather, Silas, the first hero, was among the most uncharacteristic. His adventures were like those found in fairy tales.

“Haha, that’s right. It is enough to protect itself for hundreds of years in the soulstone.”

“Is there anyone who could not protect himself and collapsed?”

It was a rather rude question, but Silas smiled and shook his head.

“I know what you are worried about. But that never happened. In the first place, I didn’t even give an offer to a hero who had a chance to do so.”

It is said that all the heroes gathered here were voluntarily absorbed into the Soul Stone after receiving a suggestion from Silas in some way.

Except for Sylas, there were six of them, so I thought it was suggested to all the heroes, but I guess it was only offered to those who met the criteria.

“In the beginning, you said that Silas-sama made this soul stone.”

“Right.”

“Is there a reason you had to make this? By sacrificing yourself and sacrificing others.”

Silas was silent for a moment at Cloud’s question.

And opened his mouth.

“How long do you think this peace will last? How long do you think the tradition that the hero will defeat the demon king can be maintained?”

It was a bad way of answering a question with a question, but thanks to that, Cloud was able to guess his intentions more easily.

“It means that you are prepared for when the hero is defeated.”

Silas nodded his head.

“I killed the Demon King along with the other heroes. But strangely, the alien feeling that the Demon King gave me remained. Even though the Demon King is obviously dead. We felt it instinctively. It means that this is not the end of the confrontation between humans and demons. We decided to go home and prepare for the future in our own way.”

“Is that the soul stone?”

“At that time, the Prona Kingdom was a much poorer country than it is today. No matter how brave you are, you cannot create something out of nothing. Maybe there was a better way. But it was the best I could think of.”

The day the hero is defeated by the demon king.

An unprecedented great chaos will unfold when a large army of demons invades the continent.

There was no way that a small country, Prona, and the Kingdoms could handle the chaos. Therefore, the strong soul of the hero was used as a medium to create strong energy to protect the kingdom.

Silas said so.

“But it all turned out to be pointless. An old secret has been exposed by the demons.”

Secret weapons are valuable because their existence is secret. Otherwise, the secret weapon is of no great value.

“As you say, the Four Heavenly Kings are trying to come down intact through the Soul Stone… I don’t want to die.”

He has lived his entire life to protect the kingdom from demons. He maintained his ego in the soulstone for hundreds of years for the kingdom.

But that would actually endanger the kingdom.

There was a bitter look on Silas’ face.

“It may not be completely meaningless.”

At that time, the hero who had experienced the dark fantasy that had been quiet until now looked at Cloud and said: Noticing the meaning of his eyes, Silas opened his eyes wide and nodded his head.

“Yeah, it could be.”

“What do you mean? Don’t just know it with the two of you, teach me as well.”

Silas turned completely toward Cloud.

“You. Don’t you want to learn a sword from me?”

“…a Sword?”

Cloud tilted his head, as it was a rather nonsensical statement.

“There are many things I can teach you other than swords. Even though we can’t show you magic because we’re like this, we can give you a theory.”

“I can teach you night techniques if you want!”

“You read the mood!”

Enedna slapped Drake in the back.

Drake, who was smiling, changed his gaze seriously in an instant. Not only that, but the eyes of all the other warriors looking at Cloud were unusual.

Even the warrior who squatted after being cursed by Enedna and Drake.

Cloud also erased the laughter.

“What do you want from me?”

“It’s not great. I just hope that you will not forget what you have learned and pass it on to the next generation in some way.”

“It’s not difficult, but… Wasn’t that something you could have done yourself, even if it wasn’t through me? It’s like nurturing a successor.”

“Ummm… shamefully, I didn’t think of it when I was still alive. I don’t know why, but everyone here did. I left a few pieces of used equipment…”

“Her…”

Does it make sense to not remember that?

There must have been third party intervention.

And it goes without saying who the third person is.

Cloud smiled and nodded.

It is a good thing to increase the number of skills that can be used in this world.

To be honest, using only basic skills such as [Strike], [Farring], and [Strike] was a bit tedious.

“How long will it take you to learn?”

“It should be enough for a year.”

“One week.”

Cloud stood up and said.

“If it’s late, let’s finish it within a month.”

Drake smirked at that.

“This hero is pretty c*cky. great. At that level, you’re qualified to receive my sword!”

“…Do I really need to teach night skills?”

Drake mumbled as usual, but his voice was weak. He couldn’t put Finzan in his words, Ened. So did the other warriors.

“I really didn’t know you could learn it all in a week.”

Silas smirked and shook his head. Cloud learned their skills in a week, as initially declared.

This is a happy mistake.

It’s a story about the warriors of our time being far superior to what they thought.

However, it was unavoidable that they felt disappointed as he mimicked the skills they had honed throughout their life in a similar way, if not the same, at once.

“I didn’t know that the time to part would come so quickly, but I’m glad that the regret of the breakup is less that much.”

“…as I said before, you don’t have to do it like this. It is enough to teach it.”

“As long as our identity has been revealed by the demons, the soul stone that must be destroyed anyway. You stopped it this time, but no one knows whether future heroes will be able to do the same.”

“I mean, you can free yourself from your duty as a warrior.”

“The past hundreds of years have become meaningless. Please make our sacrifices meaningful.”

“Yeah, ma’am. Don’t try to eat all the cool things by yourself, let’s share some.”

“I’ve been locked up in that little jewel for hundreds of years. It’s been a few years now and it’s nothing.”

Cloud sighed at the generosity of the warriors. It’s even more rude to say no to that.

‘Anyway, they are like old people who are stubborn.’

How else do you know about patterns?

“Don’t complain later.”

Cloud held the soul stone and used the glyph.

At that moment, the souls of the heroes were sucked into the Soul Stone. A strong sense of resistance was felt in the hand holding the soul stone.

It wasn’t because the souls of the warriors refused to absorb it.

This is because Cloud’s vessel is too small for all their souls to enter. No, it was wrong to blame Cloud’s bowl in the first place.

‘The presence of each one is not a joke.’

The heroes compressed their souls as much as possible to make it easier for Cloud to accept.

However, each of them is a warrior who has represented the Prona Kingdom for an era. Both the quality and size of the soul did not even compare to Ogre or Behemoth.

‘It’s like holding the sea with a funnel.’

The arm that connects the souls of the heroes and Cloud’s vessel was in pain as if torn. The veins sprung up and the muscles wriggle at will.

The soul, who had barely crossed over by overusing hus arm, tried to take a seat in Cloud’s vessel.

The recoil wasn’t too bad either.

Blood vessels burst in his eyes and tears flow.

Blood was dripping from his nose as well as his ears, and he began to hear a buzzing tinnitus.

cry-

A fistful of blood came up to his throat.

‘I can’t. If I just accepted it quietly, my body would collapse.’

It was just that the soul came in and tried to settle in the vessel. That’s all, my body was seriously damaged.

I tried not to touch their souls whenever possible, but now I can’t help it.

Cloud compressed the souls of the warriors.

However, unlike when the soul of an Ogre or Behemoth was compressed, it was used very carefully so as not to affect the original soul.

Thanks to that, it was only after two full days that Cloud could barely stabilize the souls of the warriors.

Cloud took a deep breath and sat down. His blood vessels were twisted, his organs were injured, and his muscles were torn. In that state, he stayed up for two full days.

Literally, being alive is a miraculous state of the body.

“…that’s why I said I didn’t want to receive it.”

Next time we meet, I’ll have to go through Jangyu Yuseo and Nabal and hit him or her.

Cloud spit the blood from his mouth on the floor and stood up, leaning against the wall.

He staggered and walked outside.
