Chapter 253

[13th Round] Heros Companion

Of course, I would like to immediately kill the Demon Lord and make this world a better place, but the party wasnt strong enough to defeat him yet.

Although I, the MAX-Cla.s.s Hero, was an unusual case because I had been different from the rest ever since I was in the womb as my reincarnation, I didnt start that powerful.

At the beginning of the 1st round, there were many dark moments in my story.

In other words, the Hero had to overcome difficulties to grow.

Before I begin the meeting, I would like to express my grat.i.tude to the two people from the intelligence team for their hard work. Thanks to the information youve gathered, it will be easier for us to clear the dungeon. Today well be going for

The student council president gathered companions and talked to them about how they would clear the next dungeon.

Many fools just wanted to storm through the place, but she calmed them down without losing her smile in the process.

Mistress Hero! Ill lead everyone!

Hoho! I know and acknowledge your strength and courage, but this is not the last battle, is it? Even minor injuries can lead to dire consequences. In order to defeat the main boss of the dungeon, you need to preserve your strength. The chance when you can show what youre truly capable of is sure to come, and when it does, Ill be counting on you!

Hmm. Okay!

That was basically her tactic.

Ssosia looked displeased, but the Heros male companions all seemed prepared to do anything the president asked of them.

I could see what she was doing, of course.

It wasnt coercion but a request.

She improved her party members mood by praising them before asking for a favor. Combining that with her tantalizing appearance, her success was 99% guaranteed.

That wasnt all.

She divided responsibilities between partners so that there was no compet.i.tion.

She gave them roles according to their abilities.

Reconnaissance, security, advance party, search team, support squad, medics

Thanks to that, their teamwork became more effective.

But there was something that struck me harder than all of those.

Not bad at all. Youre able to maintain a friendly relations.h.i.+p with your companions.

She, of course, complimented those who stood out a little more than the rest, but other than that, they were all equal.

They were like bees guarding their queen bee, except bees were replaced with men in their prime, and their queen was the student council president. That efficiently created a harem that would willingly do anything for her.

Hubby, judging by your expression, that shameless woman seems to impress you.

Well, to be honest, yes.

No matter how I looked at it, my 1st round was a complete failure. It was a journey of suffering, and my companions were more like enemies blocking my path.

But you dont want to be like her, do you?

Thats true as well.

The Hero, who was supposed to look after the world, was busy looking after her party.

She didnt train at all and instead spent all her time trying to improve relations with them.

I already thought it was strange since the first time we met.

Although she was the student council president, she had a rather low combat power.

But now I understood how she gained that position.

She made good use of her companions during her travels, which earned her high marks. However, because of that, she had no time to cultivate herself at all.

That was why she specialized in magic.

Since she was weak, she couldnt fight on the frontlines. Hence, she played by her strengths and stationed herself in the rear.

Do you mind clearing the dungeon with the advance party?

Hearing the student council presidents request, I agreed.

Thanks to the local spirits, I already knew the dungeons structure by heart, but I wasnt part of the exploration team.

In order not to upset the balance, I avoided interfering in the other divisions affairs.

I focused on fulfilling the role I was a.s.signed to faithfully.

Oooooohhh!

Graaarggghhh!

The place was teeming with mutant ogres that were raised by the dungeon boss, Sinister Mage A.

In contrast to the common members of their kind that charged into battle naked, the ogres before me wore durable armor and wielded weapons. They were also intelligent, allowing them to employ the use of tactics.

They were definitely an annoying opponent.

However, for someone who had reached the Demon Lords castle, eradicating all the other demons on the way, this was simply nothing.

I just gained a new upgrade, too.

Many heroes support me. I was armed with the cowardly power of friends.h.i.+p and love, because of which even the First Hero gritted his teeth with anger.

At this point, ogres were less than specks of dust to me.

Dear heroes, lets demonstrate what cooperation is.

Each character had a unique skill, and I could use them without stupid restrictions, such as only women being able to use a few of them.

And as a result, having tried all of them in the First Heros house, I had chosen a few of the most useful ones.

The ones that I liked.

FSHUH!

Now I could change the wings of the righteous hero.

On its tips, holes appeared similar to the barrel of a pistol.

They were no ornaments.

Through them, I fired spikes as sharp and thin as needles.

Those thorns were made of my bones and coated with a powerful poison I discovered through the a.s.sa.s.sin heroes bodies.

SHUK SHUK SHUK!

Shooting out from my wings, they buried themselves deep into the ogres bodies, instantly melting their flesh.

After all, it was potent enough to prove dangerous even for my senior. Considering they werent even the main boss of the dungeon, they naturally couldnt withstand it.

I wasnt worried, even if the spikes didnt hit their targets.

The poison coating couldnt retain its molecular structure for long, preventing it from harming the environment.

After all, righteous heroes took care of their surroundings!

Yes, I needed to earn a reward for that.

As your reward, I grant you the right to become my chair, Drug Hero!

Do you want me to evict you from my scalp?

Many spirits were waiting for the right time to usurp it from her.

What?! Stop lying! My beloved children will never dare take my throne!

Spirits, of course, werent as innocent as people believed them to be, but they were really obedient. The way they still tolerated her and didnt impeach her was the very evidence of that.

I wondered how the others rated my actions.

He instantly killed all the ogres

What are those ugly tentacles on his back?

Mistress Hero, who is that man?

Not bad.

There was no way the results could be detrimental for us.

Our detachment didnt sustain any damage, and we saved a lot of time!

Although my body lacked fluids and nutrients due to the poison I produced, it was only in small doses, so it wasnt that scary.

I didnt know what would have happened if the area had been as huge as my seniors house, but we were just in a medium-sized dungeon.

Youve matured, hubby. I thought you were going to use a technique so powerful it would destroy the entire Eastern Continent.

Do you take your husband for a fool? Does that amuse you?

Im serious. You did that just recently.

Thats because the First Hero was my opponent then.

The fallen First Hero shouldnt be compared to weak ogres. He might eavesdrop otherwise.

Let him listen and grit his teeth again.

My wife has a bad temper.

One shouldnt poke around in other peoples weaknesses.

I dont think you should be the one saying that, considering you were so excited about your new powers that you decided to try all of them all at once inside someone elses house. Thats why he kicked us out.

Hmph!

My senior was also a hero. He would forgive everything.

It was unlikely, though, considering he threatened the whole universe with war if his personal file wasnt deleted.

Talking about different matters, we made our way to the very depths of the dungeon.

I didnt care about mazes and traps.

The heroes cooperating with me provided me with their knowledge and information, and they had been in hundreds of dungeons.

This was my first time raiding this place, but a map was already clearly drawn in my head as if I had been here several times already.

That wasnt because of skills, but experiences.

Even the dungeon boss in front of us looked puzzled.

Even I sometimes get lost here. How did you manage to avoid all the traps despite this being your first visit?

Hmm

I would have answered that it was because I was the MAX-Cla.s.s Righteous Hero.

But I was just the Heros Companion now.

What was the best answer in this scenario?

Tip: I dont think appeal or jobs matter in this regard. Wasnt it possible simply because youre Kang Han Soo?

That advice is perfect, Trainee Teacher!

Hey, Sinister Mage A. How I got here doesnt matter. All you should be thinking of is becoming the Heros experience points. Stay and wait here. Shell be coming to deal with you soon.

I was a Retired Hero now.

I almost became the main character of this era, but my seniors tricks forced me to abandon my post for 12 years, causing the faculty to fire me.

But I didnt regret anything.

I wasnt interested in the Hero job in the first place. Instead of fame and riches, I wished my mother wouldnt hit me with her racket too hard.

I needed to quickly return to Earth and kneel before my parents.

Listening to you talk about my mother-in-law makes me think she can destroy the whole universe with one racket.

Hahahaha! Well, thats an exaggeration. My mom is just an ordinary housewife who loves tennis.

Sinister Mage A, listening to our conversation, had a gloomy expression on his face.

How can you have such conversations now!

What? Why are you talking nonsense? Youre just a loser who couldnt become an archmage because you couldnt keep your virginity.

He wasnt alone in this place.

The laboratory where he experimented on monsters was on one side of this room, while weakened, bound, and naked girls were on the opposite side of it.

They looked like they no longer had any desire to continue living.

It was easy to guess how they were treated here.

How dare you insult me! I didnt become an archmage just because I didnt aspire to be one!

All losers say so.

If it were that easy, Fantasy wouldve already been filled with archmages.

Your companions are still wandering the maze, you idiot. By the time they get here, Id already be done with you. Ill have fun with your wife afterward until theres nothing left of herHuh?!

Oh! Sorry.

Old habits died hard.

I was going to keep him alive until the student council president arrived, but my hand slipped between his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae.

He died, Ssosia concluded, kicking the fallen mage several times.

No way! My hand just slipped a little!

Even the multi-layered magic armor that protected his body turned to dust. You also turned him into experience points immediately, so even his Immortality skill couldnt help him. You couldnt stand listening to him speaking such nasty things about your wife, huh? How nice.

Shut up.

Pha! Thats really cute.

Tsk! Stop this useless talk already. Help me figure out a way to revive him instead.

d.a.m.n mage. If he kept his mouth shut, he would have lived for another hour.

Youre the one who started it. Anyway, are you stupid? Why dont you just call the Holy One.

Oh? Thats right.

While I was in the First Heros abode, 12 years pa.s.sed. The 12th secondary education course had ended by the time we returned.

It was a pity that I couldnt see my son grow and become the Second Emperor of the Holy Mollan Empire, but I had gone through the regression process so many times that I didnt dwell on it too much.

I shouted out a name that I hadnt called out to in years.

Rice Cake!

As if all this time waiting for me, a beautiful angel appeared.

The Snow Woman, who, with the help of spirits, tried to free the captive girls, spoke in amazement.

Such beautiful wings

It felt like I hadnt seen her in ages.

But never in my entire life could I have imagined the first words that would come out of her mouth.

I was worried because you were kidnapped, but Im glad youre okay, Master Kang Han Soo. Ssosia No, Mistress Fantasy.

Fantasy?

Only one being called Ssosia that in the entire universe.

Cowardly husband, I see you need an explanation?

Yes. Right now.

What had she done with my favorite heating pad?
