CHAPTER 232 – HERO RODOTOS AND JUST ALTHEA
Althea covered her head with her cloak .
She completely hid her face and the only skin she shows her wrinkled hands .
?That’s nostalgic?
?What is??
?You looked like this when I first me you?
?You speak about me in the future huh . I see . I would be able to live long with this?
Althea looked at Eleanor . She said those words as if she was asking a question .
?You should eat some men . The actual reason why I taught Rodotos that technique is to strengthen his life force?
I told Althea what Eleanor said .
?Why did Rodotos do that??
?A woman as wise as you asks that??
?I might have a faint wish that you might be a good person?
?You expect that from me in this era??
?Does that mean I can expect it from you now??
?Nope? Hikari is around after all; the reason I must show what a real Demon Sword is?
Althea and Eleanor had a meaningful conversation .
Well, it doesn’t have that much of deep meaning though .
Eleanor is probably just speaking about how she gave that technique to Rodotos, so she could see more of his despair and suffering for having a single ray of hope .
And Eleanor also said that she’s even more evil since Hikari’s around, but no matter how you look at it, she’s doting on her .
Eleanor is definitely more amicable right now .
While I was letting the two, Eleanor and Althea, talk through me, I felt that a dark power approaching .
At first, it was wandering over here and there, but after it got closer to a certain distance, it went straight towards us .
?He found us?
?Rodotos……?
Althea let out a voice of pity .
?Please……please release him from everything?
?Leave it to me……what do I need to do??
I asked Eleanor while nodding .
?Slash him using me . It will be the end of him as long as the last of my powers remaining in Rodotos is removed?
?I got it?
I unsheathed Eleanor and took a stance .
I could see Rodotos already . He looked very ominous and ghostly .
The aura he releases turns the grasses in the forest wilt as he passed through them .
An existence that was once a hero, turning into something that would only spread calamity and misfortune .
?Let’s go?
?Umu?
I made a stance with Eleanor and charged .
There was Eleanor’s shadow on the right hand of Rodotos who suddenly increased his speed .
We intersected??with a flash,
I chopped Rodotos in half together with Eleanor’s shadow .
*Heartbeats!*
The next instant, I could feel powers flowing into me . It’s Eleanor’s powers .
I took in every remaining power from Rodotos that I just chopped into two and Eleanor became slightly stronger .
And, I was now sure . It was really the end for him .
Rodotos who turned into an evil ghost calmed down . He became a simple ghost just like the ghost maid Tanya .
This is the real Rodotos huh . He looks peaceful now .
?Forgive me, Althea . I troubled you until the end?
?……did you fulfill your wish??
?It was a great life?
?I see, thank goodness?
?Thank you……?
Rodotos left the most peaceful voice I’ve heard and disappeared .
?Goodbye, Rodotos . You are a hero……the Hero, Rodotos?
Althea saw off the disappearing Rodotos .
?
After finding Althea, Mercouri’s form as a power is finally made .
We would strengthen our army with Troize as our base, cooperate with Calamba, Siracuza, Aegina, and Comotoria, finally starting the rebellion against the empire .
After losing the founding hero, Emperor Rodotos, the Empire was in chaos .
Adding to that the lack of a successor, the Empire was quickly divided, then defeated one by one by the five powers, being swallowed one after the other .
While that happened, I fought in the front lines as a pawn following Althea’s orders, and waited for the “time” .
The time of the final fight against Demon King Eleanor who seemingly disappeared from the Empire .
