Chapter 177 Aftermath Of The Crisis [Pt 2]
Chapter 177 Aftermath Of The Crisis [Pt 2]
Unknown to Pierrus, or Kiko, or Heshu, or Hogun, or even the sleeping Adu, an object hung at the corner of the tent's wall.
It was camouflaged, but beyond the veil of Magic, the object covertly monitored the group.
This item had lens that captured every moment and recorded everything they conversed on—relaying it to another source in real time.
This object was a security cam... and the footage was being watched by the very entity the Demons feared and revered.
He smiled in his room, satisfied by their words and the outcome of their conversation.
Standing from his position, he prepared the outfit he would wear and readied himself to give the offer.
"Excellent..."
After all, he was now guaranteed that they wouldn't refuse.
Why was he so concerned about their acceptance? Why couldn't he just resort to force, like how he originally intended?
He had proved time and time again that he was superior to them, so it wouldn't have mattered to him anyway.
Well, it did matter.
And the reason for that was simple, though something he had to keep secret.
Our dear champion... was now in Level 1.

[End Of Information]
"Haaa..." A soft sigh escaped my lips as I made to leave my abode.
No matter how many times I checked it, the truth remained glaring to my face. I had indeed lost all my Levels—as well as the ability to gain any in the future.
My current Stats—though higher than a base Level one stat—was simply due to the current state of my physical body.
'All my training and fights were not in vain, at least.'
I had zero Stat Points and no Level Ups. My HP and MP were abysmal, at best. My OP Class was no longer available. Everything had fallen flat.
'But... it was worth it, wasn't it?' I smiled, leaving my room to witness the outside world.

"GOOD MORNING, HERO! WE GREET YOU!!!"
Ah, that's right.
My Identity as the Hero was revealed after the final struggle against the Demons. At this point, there was really no difference between being a Hero and the Legendary Dragon Slayer.
Both were beings that exceeded the bounds of logic and common sense.
"Hm. I greet you too. The time has come for the Demons to face their recompense..." My response was smooth, as always.
Fortunately, I lost my Levels, but not my Skills and Titles. The unfortunate aspect of that was my inability to properly use most of them due to my low MP and Stats.
Thankfully, [Freedom Of Expression] didn't require any high stst to pull off. It had been my best friend since I started this journey of mine.
It was my ultimate weapon to achieve the divine state of bullshitting.
As expected, the crowd of people desired to follow me—even my subordinates who knelt before me.
However, I refused.
"This must be achieved through my hands. You should all do what you must... and rebuild this city with your hands."
"OHHHHH!!!"
"HEROOOO!!!"
"HE'S SO AWESOME!"
"HE'S DIVINE!"
"ABSOLUTE RIGHT!"
"WE HAIL THE HEROOOOO!!!"
Fortunately, I was able to shake them off, and the people ventured on to do the task I gave to them.
It had only been a little over a day since the war, though it somehow felt longer than that. The conflict ended in the evening, and after that, an entire day of cleaning up happened.
This was a brand new day—meant to mark the resolution of everything.
'Even if I revived everyone using Death, the city is still damaged. It'll take some time to rebuild...'
Thankfully, that meant everyone was busy. Too busy to bother me.
'I'm the Lowest Leveled guy, after all.' Tears fell from my eyes.
I couldn't get much stronger than I currently was. My Stats would only.rise at a snail's pace, and no matter how much stronger I was supposed to get... that simply wouldn't happen.
Sooner than later, I was going to hit the wall. Which was why, now more than ever before, I required subordinates.
'The Mid Demons might prove stubborn, but if their leaders give up first, it'll convince them to do the same.'
With the Demons under my control, as well as the Golems and leftover resources in my inventory, I would be able to make do.
Besides, the most important part about my current self was how much Karmic Value I possessed
I was undeniably weak, but now, things wouldn't be as difficult as before.
'With this Karmic Value, I'll finally be able to do the thing I've always wanted.'
A smile crept up on my face as I approached the abode of my Demon prisoners.
'Who knows? I just might be able to turn this whole thing around.'
