202 Chapter 202: A Hero

< Warning, Danger approaching! >

Three elves appeared behind Kevin as they drew near him with swords in their hands.

The elves are one of the men that bought the Triling rings from Mr Yun. Mr Yun failed to take back the rings from them even after all his attempts to rob him, give him false hope

“Is this the man who wanted to buy our rings?” One of the men said with a deep menacing voice.

Mr Yun nodded his head slightly. His actions were mixed with fear and regret. He wanted to save Kevin but he couldn’t. He wondered what will happen to Kevin. He realised that he had betrayed Kevin’s trust.

The trust Kevin had in him to go bring the remnants of the rings only to come back the second day and collect it.

But he betrayed him and Kevin wasn’t going to spare a single one of them.

“Why are you throwing your money out to buy such a useless ring as these? You must be selling it at an high price somewhere, aren’t you?” The men said as they attempted to grab Kevin’s hands but before their hands could touch them, Kevin unsheathed his sword and stabbed one of the men on the chest.

The other men were shocked to the marrow as they saw this, they attempted to fight back but more people appeared from behind them.

.....

“If you move a step closer to him, you two will meet with your end.” Sam said as he pointed his sword at the two men.

Now that Kevin looked around, he realised that all of the merchants in the black market were either holding a sword or have a magic with an intent of killing the two men standing in front of Kevin.

“Go down on your knees, how dare you hurt the Triling!” An old woman said as she walked forward with the support of a metal walking stick.

Kevin was surprised at this, did Sam tell the people of the black market about him?

“Triling?” The men observed Kevin as if they will see something that shows that he’s a Triling or not.

“What? You call this guy a Triling?”

“Why? Do I not look like someone who could be a Triling?” Kevin walked closer to the men while using his shadow control to bind their hands to the back.

The shadows of the men were used against them as Kevin started controlling their shadows to do his bidding.

A young male fairy saw Kevin use the shadow and had immediately recognised it.

“He’s using a Shadow magic!” He said and everyone saw this too.

While everyone was carried away by the shadow that moved in the ground, Mr Yun who found an opportunity to escape from his fellow merchant tried sneaking away but was instantly caught by Kevin.

Kevin sent a lightning bolt which went straight for Mr Yun. He was electrocuted and thrown backwards only to crash against the wall of the building.

“Argh!” Mr Yun groaned in pain and the fairy kid started laughing.

Kevin smiled amusingly at the boy and winked at him.

“You like it?” He asked and the kid nodded.

He activated his shadow lock on Mr Yun and the three men and then walked towards the young fairy.

Just then, everyone started hailing him.

“Long live the Hero! Long live the Triling!” They all exclaimed. Kevin was a bit shy as he noticed that all eyes were on him.

But he was somehow encouraged and the shyness disappeared all of a sudden.

Everyone in the black market knew he was the Triling, he mustn’t act like a coward or they will think he is fake.

He realised that he’s like a saviour to them, but it felt strange and new to him. Thanks to Louis, he encouraged Kevin by telling him about the past heroic acts of the Trilings. Why they are still remembered as a saviour to this day.

He didn’t know when he opened up and started talking to the people.

“I don’t have much to say but I can only encourage you all to keep on being an hero just as the Triling does. That’s the rightful thing to do. I will do my best to serve you as a Triling, so do your best by doing what is right and appropriate. Thank you.” He ended his speech.

As he said this, everyone applauded him.

After the noise died down, everyone returned back to what they were doing, but the young fairy kid walked towards Kevin with curiosity in his eyes.

“Are you really a Triling?” The kid asked.

Kevin smiled as he rubbed his hands through the kid’s hair. “What do you think?”

“Of course you are! You defeated those bad guys and used a shadow magic and lightning magic. You are the Triling!” The kid said cheerfully.

“Is that your sword? It looks awesome.” The kid pointed at Kevin’s Kara sword.

“Yeah, it’s awesome but dangerous. Only the Triling and a specific type of people can wield it.”

“Can I wield it?”

“I’m afraid not. It’s too dangerous to touch.” Kevin replied. Everyone recognised the sword to be Kara’s sword. Although many still believed that the sword was cursed, they couldn’t complain since it wasn’t affecting Kevin whose grip was on the sword tightly.

“And I really want to hold the sword.”

“I can buy you a sword if you don’t mind.” Kevin said.

The fairy jumped up all of a sudden as his wings flapped against each other joyfully.

He smiled as he saw how excited the fairy was after he asked to buy him a sword. With his brave personality, he would make a skilled warrior in the future.

“What about your dragons? Can you summon them like every other Triling does?” The kid asked excitedly.

Kevin paused for a second. The kid was really fond of asking questions. It’s not like Kevin didn’t like it but he was unsure of what to say to his question.

“Err, about the dragons. I’m still trying to figure it out. I need to visit the dragon house then if they agree to come with me, I’ll bring them to see you, okay?”

“Yes! I will be able to brag at my friends and tell them that dragons are real.”

Kevin chuckled softly. He himself didn’t know if the so called dragons are real or not. But there was only one way to find out and his life depends on it. He hoped he was able to find it out before he dies.

The forbidden forest was a dangerous place full of powerful and terrible beasts of different kinds. They might end up being killed by the beasts or by the dragon they seek. Either way, Kevin would strive every of his effort to protect his wives.

Or fate might take pity of them and make them survive till the end.

Kevin glanced at the fairy kid and said;

“What is your name?” He eventually asked.

“I’m Dawn.” the kid replied sharp and bold.

“Nice to meet you Dawn.”

A collection of swords was brought to Dawn and Kevin told him to select his choice which he unhesitatingly selected.

After the sword selection has ended, Kevin saw that Dawn chose a black blue twin blade sword with it’s end as sharp as a crocodile’s fang.

Kevin was amazed by his choice of sword. The sword looks great and at the same time, it requires a lot of training to be able to use both swords at the same time without the user injuring himself.

Dawn showed his sword to Kevin and said; “Mr Triling, did I choose well?” He asked.

“As long as you like it, then you chose well. You will be able to learn anything with that sword since you choose it yourself.” Kevin replied.

The kid smiled as he swung the sword in the air.

“I see that you get along with kids, you must be expecting one or more.” Simon said as he appeared behind Kevin and gave him a slap on the back.

“Me? Kid? No, not now.” Kevin said embarrassingly.

“Why? You don’t want to be a dad yet?”

“Why would the world hero want to have children,he’s more concerned about the vampires and the upcoming crisis. Am I right young man?” An old woman appeared in front of Kevin.

Simon immediately bowed low for the lady as she approached them.

“Welcome, great mother.” Simon greeted and just as Kevin wanted to do so, the lady reached out to stop him.

“No no no, the Triling doesn’t bow to those below him. Especially not to an old lady like me.” She said and chuckled a bit before proceeding with her discussion.

“Grandma see, The Triling bought a twin blade for me.” The kid said, showing it to her.

“That’s great, it seems like our Triling here is a little bit kinder to his family members than the past Trilings.”

Kevin was taken aback by the old lady’s statement and had asked what she meant.
