Chapter 194 - [11th Round] This Hero Is a Normal Person!
I spread the wings of the righteous hero from side to side and leaped towards the Ice Dragon King Sleyas at a low altitude.
I didn’t care about the surroundings. I had already entrusted the hot springs’ incoming alerted guards to Boris.
Even without any armaments, Boris was already powerful. Now that she was armed with the highest-quality equipment that I made while raising production-related Skills in the Western Continent, she had become even more powerful.
First of all, the material used to make them was far from ordinary.
They’re all 100% pure experience points!
It was safe to say that it was Level 9999 armor.
I didn’t mean that figuratively.
? Race: Armor Spirit
? Level: 9999+
? Job: Guardian (Guardian ? Damage?)
? Skills: Guardian C, Regeneration D, Cleanliness D, Immortality E, Resistance E…
?Status: Good, Reverted
That was because even half of Boris’ armor was made of spirits.
That was just the prototype, so the skills weren’t optimal, but I filled in the gap by pouring a lot of experience into it.
It wasn’t a sensual armor that boldly exposed women’s breastbones, thighs, navel, and shoulders, which often happened in games wherein the higher the level, the skimpier their outfit became.
It completely covered her except for the back, which was unavoidable because of wings.
What about the performance?
Boom, bang, pooong, kwang-!
It didn’t matter what they used. Nothing worked against Boris.
The only one that could stand up to her, overflowing with Transcendental Realm Skills, was Sleyas, the heinous criminal who was on the verge of being judged by a righteous MAX-Class Hero.
“Ugh… Why would you attack a cute, sweet little girl?!”
“You deserve to die just by saying that!”
I had enough of Lanuvel pretending to be cute.
I could no longer tolerate more.
Flap!
However, Ice Dragon King Sleyas was tough. Although she expanded the territory of her nest by playing a trick, it still wouldn’t have been possible if she didn’t have the capacity to support it to some extent.
White dragon wings sprouted from her back.
Even though her abilities were messed up by my power, her race’s unique strength and characteristics remained undisturbed.
? Race: Ice Human ? Ice Dragonian
Another pair of wings sprouted from her back as her nails grew longer. Her pupils also gained vertical slits, becoming more reptilian than human.
“You want to play around, huh?”
“Kaaagh-?!”
But that was all she could do.
One of the representative transformations of dragons, Dragonian, was a battle form specialized in dealing with annoying opponents as small as bacterias. Their human forms enabled more delicate battles.
The Dragonian of Neubius, the Dragon King, was a typical example.
That dear friend of mine grew stronger with the addition of Skills such as ' Kick & Punch', which he couldn’t execute in his true dragon form.
But what about the dragon in front of me?
Her skin was still the same as that of a human.
It was different from Neubius’s transformation, whose whole body was covered in pitch-black scales that made it difficult to find any weak points or gaps.
Her whole body was full of vulnerabilities!
Even her wings, which focused on aesthetics instead of practicality, were one of them.
Slash!
A swift approach and a horizontal swing of the Holy Sword Nucleon cut clear through her.
Externally, her current state had little difference from humans, but her bones were still the same as that of actual dragons’, which were often used for national-treasure-class weapons and armor.
That didn’t change the fact that it was insignificant, though.
“That’s the limit of having a small body.”
If you prick an elephant with a needle, then nothing will happen to him, but if you prick a fly, it will die.
That was why the bones of Ice Dragon King Sleyas, who insisted on having the appearance of a small girl, were shattered helplessly.
If she had returned to her original dragon form or transformed into a full-fledged Dragonian as Neubius did, she wouldn’t have been bothered being cut once or twice by the Holy Sword.
In her current state, it was lethal enough to threaten her life!
“This lizard’s petty tricks…”
I aimed between her 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae. Instead of her head, however, her right arm was the one severed from her shoulder.
The cause was a prism.
She created ice crystals with the only skill I couldn’t change, distorting the light.
“H-how come you aimed at the air…?!”
Sleyas, now only one-armed, asked me a question with a confused expression.
I naturally didn’t reply.
Of course, it wouldn’t change if she knew.
My luck correction made it so even if I missed, my attacks would still hit the target by making adjustments, like a bullet taking a U-turn. There was no coping with it.
“Have a swift death.”
“Even if you’re a Hero, don’t underestimate me-!”
Exclaiming desperately, she began to move in earnest.
She created a clone with a prism, summoned icicle arrows incessantly, and fired them at me.
She even released an Ice Golem!
Although most of her combat-related skills were sealed, she had considerable Resistance. That was the power of the Level ZZZ Freeze skill.
However…
Thud!
It didn’t work on me.
The Holy Sword Nucleon pierced the Ice Dragon King Sleyas’ body.
I aimed between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae, resulting in my blade impaling her between her 2nd and 3rd lumbar vertebrae instead.
“What a ridiculous mistake…!”
I only took one day off, but I seemed to have lost my senses. It was no different when it came to breaking her spine.
“Cough!”
My opponent vomited a handful of blood as she staggered, unable to keep her body straight.
She looked to be in so much panic that she couldn’t even think of reverting to her dragon state.
I should be able to finish this with the next attack.
“Get away from Lady Sleyas!”
“We’ll fight you in her stead!”
“You savage! How could you attack a little girl?!”
“I’ll deal with you!”
Women rushed into the men’s bath, their voices blazing.
I didn’t know if they came running after hearing the commotion or if they came to peep into the men’s bath and happened to witness it. I didn’t care either way.
What was important now was…
? Race: Arc Human
? Level: 1094
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Magic SSS, Swordsmanship SSS, Charm SS, Agility SS, Makeup SS…
? Status: Courageous, Thrilled
They were female Heroes.
The proportion of their skills related to beauty was high, but their overall combat power was lower than men’s. However, they made up for it with the combination of various skill configurations they had evenly raised, removing any biases.
Was that the meticulousness of women?
Anyway…
Slash!
Disregarding their words, I finished what I was doing.
The Ice Dragon King Sleyas fell, her body perfectly divided in half, crashing to the ground in opposite directions. She spilled a large amount of blood, far more than her small physique could contain.
“Lady Sleyas-?!”
“N-no!”
“We made it clear that we’ll be your opponent!”
“You coward! How dare you attack the wounded!”
The heroes insulted and degraded me nonstop.
I couldn’t help but laugh when I looked back at the scene reminiscent of the marketplace.
“Coward? You shouldn’t rush around and say things like that.”
Half the heroes in the women’s bath seemed to be present. And even at this moment, one by one, the rest were joining in.
It would be far more hilarious if I spared a target lying around like a corpse, though, since she might strike the back of my head at a decisive moment.
I shouldn’t leave any future trouble.
I wouldn’t want to get caught by the ankles while practicing hypocrisy.
“We are all in one party.”
“Of course, cooperation is a must, right?”
“If you feel wronged, you can summon your subordinates!”
“Lady Sleyas! I will avenge you!”
The heroes presented their objections without hesitation.
It was full of forced logic, but they also made some reasonable arguments.
“Comrades, huh?”
That reminded me of the time when Sleyas joined my side as my comrade.
Realizing a tad too late that one of the Five Great Disasters, known as the main culprit that turned the Southern Continent into a deadly desert, had been subjugated by me, she deactivated the air-manipulating magic circle that had been in operation for thousands of years.
From then on, the temperature gradually decreased.
However, the Southern Continent was originally part of the hot axis. Reluctant to heat, she decided to give up her nest because she couldn’t reactivate the magic circle.
Her evil deeds were endless.
She was self-indulgent during our adventures, and she tarnished the reputation of my righteous hero image by making me look like a pedophile who liked beautiful young girls.
When they said that strong denials were strong affirmations…
“It’s lovely to know that you’re finally dead, Ice Dragon King Sleyas.”
I thought I was really going crazy.
“Snap out of it, Drug Hero! It was already difficult to find your usual expression pleasant, but now it is even more horrendous.”
“Excuse me. I am fine.”
“Real weirdos think they’re normal.”
“… Really?”
I took a quick look at the faces and bodies of the female heroes, easily avoiding the magic and arrows they fired at me.
I didn’t know the exact criteria for selecting male heroes. However, from a third party’s point of view, the criteria for selecting female heroes seemed to be their appearance and age.
Pretty girls who would have been scouted to be idols and actresses during their high school days.
On top of that, they showed off a more radiant charm by providing them with fantasy skills.
However, there was no competition because princesses and ladies with beauty surpassing humans’ lived all over the Fantasy Continent.
“Drug Hero, what are you going to do?”
“Didn’t you say it would be strange if I insisted on being a normal person?”
I should just prove it, then.
I didn’t even look at the elf-like skinny heroes.
My aim was a lady perfect from head to toe, the best woman to prove I was normal.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Those who disturbed my search were punished with the wings of the righteous hero, which cut and stabbed them with horns that prevented healing.
Most of them were the companions of heroes.
The elves who worked under the Ice Dragon King Sleyas ran away, and only the ice golem came at me to protect the empty and ownerless house.
But the power of that friendship was too weak.
It couldn’t get over the years of experience I had accumulated in a terrible Fantasy World where savage forces ruled and where flush toilets didn’t exist.
They wouldn’t be able to do anything to me, even with their large numbers.
They spent most of their adventures full of dreams and hopes in the hot spring meaninglessly.
“E-everyone, please stop that guy!”
A young lady, escorted by handsome males, shouted with a pale face while shooting magic from a safe distance.
She looked sexy even when she stepped back.
Although it was an evaluation based on my subjective preferences and taste, she was by far the most outstanding beauty among female heroes gathered in the men’s bath.
She had so many followers.
“Let’s protect our master!”
“I shall be your shield!”
“I’ll be your opponent!”
Handsome men and pretty boys from the Fantasy Continent blocked me pompously. Their jobs, levels, equipment, and weapons were varied, all proving to be unique.
I answered them with a smile and a Holy Sword.
“Out of my way, you lowly junks.”
Slash.
I stepped forward, walking on the floors of the hot spring damped with the blood and flesh of the men that tried to impress the females.
I then spoke to the female hero.
“G-go away- Hump?!”
… She was a beat too late.
A true man would take action rather than utter lame phrases!
My right hand held her between her 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae, and my left arm gently wrapped between her 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae.
Then I pressed my lips to her breast.
Abilities were only a plus.
? Race: Grand Human
? Level: 1104
? Job: Hero (Experience 500%)
? Skills: Magic Z, Spells MAX, Attractiveness MAX, Madness MAX, Charm MAX…
? Status: Confused, Maddened, Thrilled, Lustful, Fractured…
I groomed them so beautifully.
The female hero who became a slave to my skill began to respond to me in no time at all.
Thud! Thud!
Drunk by my charm, the slender limbs of the young lady drooped like a marionette with a broken thread, her body completely exhausted.
I took care of her so that she could relax in the spa.
Splash!
However, diving in public places was too much.
Although this was a savage Fantasy World, shouldn’t I keep basic public manners?
I licked my tongue as I looked at the female hero who floated up with her face immersed in the water. As I enjoyed the gazes and atmosphere around me, which had fallen below the temperature I initially felt, I spoke in a soft tone.
“Queue number two. Please come forward.”
Instead of approaching me, everyone turned around and began to move away.
Was it because they were still elementary school students? It still seemed too early for them to practice love and friendship that was hotter than hot springs.
They weren’t ready yet.
I knew that, but…
“Come here. Why don’t you talk to me, a good brother who is about to enter a savage middle school? Do not cry. Wipe your tears and look at me. Do I look like someone who will harm others?”
The nest of Ice Dragon King Sleyas disappeared from the Fantasy Continent.
And the average temperature of the Southern Continent dropped.
“Damn…”
It seemed that the First Spirit’s words were correct.
Because there was no way that a hero who volunteered for free like it was his second nature could be a normal person. This occupational disease had no answer.
Regardless…
“hero, your combat strength exceeds 1 trillion. I’m starting to wonder if this artifact is broken.”
Thief E, who broke down the hot springs and joined us, spoke up.
“Are you still measuring it?”
“I am an elf who always sees everything I started to the end.”
‘I don’t care what you do. Just make sure to guide us properly.”
“You don’t care?! It’s really questionable if you’re actually supposed to be my groom! Are you even aware of that?”
“Not really.”
The hero party who had just completed the implementation of justice moved to the disposable in-laws’ house.
