Chapter 59: The Spear Hero (2)

’The Spear Hero’

A name that was the pinnacle of fear for the monsters and troops of The Evil One. When they heard it, whether the creature seemed to be a general or not, there was no one who did not recognize the name.

The nightmare of all nightmares.

The first time I met that person was when I was assigned to go look for survivors of the battle in area 71.

At that time, in area 71 there had been a battle against 2 Army Generals from The Evil One.

When I arrived, area 71 had completely turned into an inferno. Hundreds or even close to thousands of corpses from both the Alliance and the Army Generals.

Plus, it was a red eclipse that day. The sky turned red and the sun also became redder and bigger than before.

With that hell-like scene, I saw a figure standing on a pile of corpses with 2 giant corpses at his feet.

A man with white hair with torn clothes and carrying a red spear.

The strongest man I’ve ever known and the craziest.

...

(Why is that person here?)

Although her appearance has become younger, I can still recognize her appearance.

A teenager around 15 years old with white hair and purple eyes while carrying a spear.

*Boom*

With the explosion of the monster, blood and organs rained down.

With such a gruesome scene, the teenage boy with a monotonous expression looked at us.

(... Amazing, so this is the strongest human in episode 1.)

(... Very strong...)

Muspel and Nifl were amazed and surprised by the power of The Spear Hero.

(It’s so troublesome...)

I knew I would definitely cause the butterfly effect, but this is too weird. I didn’t even do anything that would affect The Spear Hero.

As I was thinking, The Spear Hero approached me. The Knights immediately went on alert and prepared to attack The Spear Hero.

"Don’t..."

But I told everyone to lower their weapons.

Although they still looked worried, the Knights obeyed my orders.

"Are you the leader of these Knights?"

With a monotone expression and a cold voice, The Spear Hero asked me while pointing at me.

(Wow, you’re not angry huh?)

Muspel was a little surprised that I didn’t show anger. Indeed, I usually would have gotten angry immediately if anyone dared to point a hand at me but the person in front of me was one of the most meritorious humans in episode 1.

It would be rude to get angry at such a person.

"Yes, you could say that right now."

Technically I’m still not the successor of the Wolfled family, so I don’t have much influence on these Knights but I’ve gotten permission from father.

"I see..."

Then The Spear Hero instantly moved quickly and attacked me with his spear.

I immediately parried The Spear Hero’s spear with Muspel, then used Nifl and attacked.

If it was a normal battle, a normal decision would have been to retreat but what I was fighting was the strongest human in episode 1.

The Spear Hero violently reversed the spear to thwart my attack using Nifl.

With that move, I was thrown a few steps.

"..."

"..."

A short battle, 2 seconds. But it was enough to tell us the level of our skills.

(Crazy, what the hell is with that ability! That’s cheating! He can do such good moves at such a young age! You fucking genius...)

(Ah, the master is annoyed.)

(Let it go, Nifl)

Seeing the battle happening so quickly made the Knights confused, but they immediately came to their senses and started moving.

All the Knights around me immediately drew their weapons again and prepared to attack The Spear Hero but I stopped them again.

"...Are you satisfied? Is the result satisfactory to you?"

"...You realize that?"

"Of course, there’s no way the person who killed the monster with a single strike is this weak."

"Heh, how dare you..."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere between the two of us became very cold as if any movement felt like a threat.

But both of us eventually sheathed our weapons together.

"Hahaha! I thought their leader was weak like his followers but I was wrong."

Instantly, The Spear Hero’s monotonous and cold expression turned into a relaxed and warm look.

What a quick change of expression. But I feel that this is the true nature of The Spear Hero.

"Is that all you said after attacking me?"

"Ahaha, sorry sorry. But I also want to receive gratitude. Do you know what I mean?"

I nodded. I then glanced at Black Forest Bear’s mangled corpse.

Without The Spear Hero’s help, even I couldn’t have helped them without any casualties.

Just when I wanted to bow my head in gratitude.

"You don’t have to, let’s just say we’re even. I attacked you just now anyway."

"...Heh."

The Spear Hero deliberately made it unnecessary for me to thank him with such a ridiculous excuse.

I never thought there would be a day I was pitied in this way. But I will accept the offer.

I then raised my head and looked at The Spear Hero’s hand that asked for a handshake.

I also shook The Spear Hero’s hand.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Aster Eclipse. A traveler who travels the world to become the strongest spear user."

"Zend Wolfled, the future head of the Wolfled family."

"Nice to meet you, Zend!"

"!!!!"

"!!!!"

(!!!)

(!!!)

Instantly everyone there was shocked, from the Knights, Muspel, Nifl, Yukiko and Yoon.

People who could call me without honor were very few, besides I never let people I didn’t recognize call my name without honor.

But a stranger appeared who dared to call my name without honor.

"Calling me without honor right away. In that case, I’ll also call you Aster."

"""((!!!))"""

It’s true that only people I acknowledge can call my name without honor.

And The Spear Hero is one of those people, since we were colleagues in episode 1. No, we can even be said to be like brothers.

"Nice to meet you, Aster."

With that, my meeting with the strongest human and my strongest companion in episode 1 and in the future began here.

...

"So you want to go to the frontier wall too?"

"Yes, I want to fight the monsters of the Abyss head-on! Maybe I can find enlightenment for my technique."

"I see. You said you traveled here to train, right?"

"That’s right. A few months ago, my master told me to improve my skills by interacting with the outside world."

Of course I already knew that, after all Aster and I have known each other for a very long time. But I had another purpose.

"Then did you pass through the Empire?"

"Ah, that military country?"

*Nod*

"Of course I did, what is it?"

"Did you meet any ’Other World Heroes’ or people with strange names or appearances that don’t match the local people?"

"Hmm..."

Aster seemed to think for a while.

"Ah! Yes, I remember meeting them, I even had a fight with them."

"What? Fight?"

"They casually tried to attack innocent citizens and even tried to harass a woman so I beat them up. But thanks to that I became a fugitive of the Imperial Knights."

"Ahaha, you really haven’t changed."

"Hmm?"

"No, it’s fine."

So then, if Aster could defeat them so easily it meant that they still hadn’t mastered their Cheat power.

This is good, I just need to overcome my body’s limitations. That way, when I can enter the Empire. I can kill the otherworldly people more easily.

I’ve heard that I really hope that the otherworldly people are slow to master their Cheat ability.

If it were me now, I could easily kill them. But that could trigger a war, besides there are still otherworldly people who really come from a world full of fighting.

There’s even an otherworldly person who came from a destroyed world, that person is so powerful that I’d almost die without ’She’.

For that I need to become strong.

"Ehem..."

At that moment, Yoon suddenly coughed.

"What’s wrong?"

"...Why did Zend bring that person with us?"

"Ah..."

We were currently in a carriage moving towards the frontier wall. And Aster was also sitting next to me.

"He is also on his way to the frontier wall with the Abyss."

"I know that... It’s just why that person is here."

"It’s rude to make the guest who saved my Knight sit outside."

"B-but why does it have to be sitting next to you!"

With cheeks puffed up as if in annoyance, Yoon was angry at me.

"???"

(Master, are you an dense protagonist?)

(What do you mean?)

(...It’s okay..)

With that, we continued our journey towards the frontier wall.

...

"Good job, Muninn."

An Entity said so, then a white crow appeared and sat on the Entity’s shoulder.

"No, if it’s for the sake of the master."

"Stop it, I’m just the temporary master of you two."

"Even so, right now Master is my master."

The entity seemed to be used to this conversation, so it did not say anything more.

"But are you sure erasing Master Zend’s memories will help the three of you trick the Law of Causation?"

"It might be a little difficult. But that is why The Evil One and I exist."

"But Master, if the three of you carry out that plan. You two will..."

"Yes, but that’s a small price to pay for destroying the power of the Old God and the Heaven."

"..."

"Besides, if The Terror escapes. The whole universe, no, this whole story will end. So don’t be sad, we’re just returning to the void. You should be more worried about the Old Master."

"That’s Master Loki after all."

"Yes, that’s also the reason we believe in him. Making a plan that not only deceives the entire universe but even himself. Maybe only He can do this."
