Seras looks toward the fallen Five Dragon Warriors.

[I thought you were just a freeman, it was unexpected that Touka-dono was a Hero from Another World That mysterious ability of him was also that sorcery that was rumored around this place. And, umm Towards Alions goddess, am I going to be]

[Dont worry. I was exiled by Alion before.]

[I- Is that so?]

[To be exact, I was disposed of by the goddess because I was supposedly useless. Well, I think that goddess must have thought I have died where they disposed me.]

A reassuring smile floated on my face.

[Thats why, you dont have to worry. I will never hand you over to that f*cking goddess.]

[F- F*cking goddess?]

[Kuku, what else can you even describe her with?]

Seras bitterly smiled.

[You were expelled even when you held this much power, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx However, I was pretty convinced after I looked at your mysterious ability.]

[If I could hide this story about myself being a Hero from Another World, I would have properly hid it. Well, I thought knowing this information might be useless for you Anyway, were planning on parting ways somewhere, right? Sometimes, its better for someone to know about something. Rather than that, I wanted to thank you.]

Seras shakes her head.

[You dont have to thank me Ever since the Five Dragon Warriors appeared, I havent done anything at all. In the end, Touka-dono defeated them all.]

[Its enough for me that youve fulfilled your duty as my guard.]

The Five Dragon Warrior were being more vigilant towards Seras.

Thanks to that, I was able to concentrate on those people flying in the sky without any worries.

[]

Seras had a lonely smile on her face.

Its as if her mind was in another place.

I lightly tapped on Seras shoulder.

[Are you okay?]

[Ah, Im sorry. Its just There were lots of information that came into my head at the same time Im still confused with all that happened.]

[It seems like you also have some things youre troubled with but well, you saved me some trouble when you took over watching over them for me earlier.]

[I thought that I couldnt let you die.]

[Hmm?]

[I thought that If I were to let Touka-dono die in this place while I was just absentmindedly thinking for myself, this time, I can never get back on my feet again]

[..]

[Or perhaps, this may just be the result of my bodys own self-preservation. So that I could protect my heart from self-destructing, I have to act and protect Touka-dono in this place. I think Im acting under that pretense. If I couldnt protect the benefactor who had saved my life Im sure that I can never forgive myself.]

I thought this might indeed be the case.

My Aunt and Seras were kind of similar.

Even if she were depressed

[How do I say this Theyve got a resilient heart]

[Sometimes]

[Hmm?]

[Touka-dono sometimes show that gentle smile on your face.]

[Its probably because Im thinking about a kind person.]

[Are you talking about the Aunt youve spoken of before?]

Seras grinned.

[Well, isnt Seras Ashrain one of those kind people?]

[The gentle smile on your face is different when youre thinking about your Aunt.]

[After all, even if you two were quite similar, my Aunt and you were two different people.]

One is a human, while the other is a high elf.

[I dont have any intention of treating you like youre the same person.]

For some reason, Seras looked quite relieved after she heard my words.

[Uuggghhh]

[Hmm?]

Oban finally died huh.

Following him Schweiz who died a few moments later.

It seems that the other dragon knights and their black dragons were about to die too.

[Funnn]

Its too quiet.

I poisoned them with my skill, Poison.

The only problem with this skill is the length of time I have to wait for their death.

How long can a human stay sane after using this skill?

How many humans could stay in the same path theyve taken?

There may even be some who would be afraid of their own skill and cancel the effect of this skill half-way through.

There may even be some people who would be overtaken by the feeling of sympathy for their enemy.

Perhaps It would be impossible to stay decent.

The act of waiting for the death of several people in one place while you were holding the power to decide whether someone would die or not

I violently shake away the feeling of compassion thats trying to overtake me.

You must never look away from the darkness that spreads out in front of you

Until in the end, you could only feel that your heart has been frozen.

Perhaps, coming across these people is something I needed.

[<Paralyze>]

I started invoking <Paralyze> towards them one after another.

A gauge would appear if they were still alive.

If they were dead the gauge wont appear.

This is also one of the functions that Ive confirmed in the Disposal Ruins.

Theres only one person left where the gauge has appeared.

[Tou ka]

A sigh in admiration came out of my mouth.

Its because he still had the sleep gauge over his head.

[He should still be sleeping right now, but hes still barely able to keep his consciousness awake. As I thought, hes really way ahead of the norm Civit Gartland.]

However, it seems that hes unable to move his body anymore.

There are no signs that he could move again just like he did earlier.

I could only feel his killing intent that was being repeatedly interrupted.

Hes trying to endure the sleepiness.

I stare at Civit and observe.

It seems that hes currently in a situation where hes repeatedly falling asleep and waking up.

Adding the paralysis gauge over his sleepiness.

Hes also currently poisoned.

Now, hes already weakened.

Is it alright to say that hes already powerless now?

Seras suddenly stands between me and Civit.

Skreeeet

Lying down in the ground, Civit scratches the earth with his fingers.

Is that some kind of signal for me to look at what hes doing?

He turns towards me even with his eyes closed.

I understood it then, hes about to die.

[You bast ard, who the heck are you?]

Weve already talked about this before.

Therefore, what Civit wants to hear must be something else.

I quickly understood what he means.

[Its the truth that I am a Hero summoned from Another World but Im not some kind of hero who would be saving this world. Currently, I am]

Standing behind Seras, I look down towards the fallen Civit.

[just an avenger.]

Like that, I quietly watched the end of The Humanitys Strongest inside this dark forest, while the shadow of darkness began enveloping the sky and the countless trees in this forest.
