The Hero Party Couldn’t Kill Me

Chapter 4: First Revenge (8)

f*ck!!

The fist I thrust into Calia’s chin was strikingly good.

“Keah!”

Calia was knocked to the ground by the shock. Her blood was flowing from her mouth.

This was something she could never have imagined as a warrior.

Calia still looked in disbelief as she wiped the blood from her mouth.

It seemed that he still hadn’t grasped the reality, so I gave him another blow.

“aaa!!! aaa!!!”

Calia finally screamed in pain.

Calia let out an exaggerated scream and fell to the ground.

Kwajik.

Afterwards, I stepped on Calia’s foot as hard as I could.

“aaa!!!”

Calia’s screams grew louder with the sound of her bones breaking.

“Don’t be rude. Will a b*tch who was once a hero turn out to be so stale?”

“Ouch… ugh…….”

Calia barely holding back her screams and glaring at me. As long as those ferocious eyes were still alive.

“I was curious about one thing, how the hell did you become a warrior? I don’t have any skills, and I don’t have a particularly good personality.”

“Now… How dare you mock me?”

“Why, don’t you like it? Would you prove it then? That you are still a hero even without a holy sword.”

When I provoked Calia, she hurriedly examined her own waist as if she was trying to find something of her weapon.

She then took one of her potions from the pocket she wore around her waist.

Feeling that something was wrong with her, I went up to her and twisted her wrist holding her potion.

Perhaps she thought it was her last bastion, she tried to resist this time, but without the protection of the holy sword, she was so helplessly pushed away from her power.

Then I looked at the contents of the potion she had taken from her.

‘It’s Iris’ work.’

I recognized the poison as soon as I saw it. Probably the poison Iris gave me to kill me.

The reason I’m bringing this out now is… I blinked my eyes in anger.

After opening the lid of the potion, I slowly approached Calia. As if it was a poison that was quite painful, Calia shuddered as soon as she saw it.

“Well, I won’t ask how you became a hero. It’s already been proven that you’re not the type to become a hero anyway. Instead, ask something else.”

“… Do you think I will tell you?”

As I tried to resist, I gestured to step on her foot.

“Oh, okay! I’ll tell you! You can just tell me!”

“Saintess, why exactly are you trying to kill me? What is the exact revelation she saw?”

I thought maybe Calia would know. Anyway, since she is a warrior chosen by the goddess, if she were a saint, she might have been able to tell her.

“That… How do I know that?”

Calia cheating. In response, I stepped on her foot once more. Maybe it was because it was the part where her bones sounded like they were breaking earlier, so Calia was madly in pain.

“I really don’t know! Just one day, out of nowhere, a saintess called us and she said she had to kill you!”

“… I’ll ask again.”

I summoned the Orb of Truth, put it in her hand, and asked again. But what she said was the truth.

“Then another question. Aren’t you responsible for the saintess turning against me?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“I thought there might be someone who cheated on the saintess by misinterpreting the revelation of the goddess. So tell me. What did she say about me to the saintess?”

“… ….”

“Answer me.”

“aaa!!! Okay! I always said you were unreliable! But you know what? Every time that damn saint said, ‘Edmund’s not like that’, she passed by. Then one day he suddenly changed his attitude 180 degrees!!”

After all, he did gossip about me. Well, not surprising. Because she’s always been trying to put me down.

“Then you don’t know anything about the revelation of the goddess?”

“How do I know!! Even the saintess just replies that you will be a great threat to the empire!”

… And, in fact, the exact content wouldn’t have been important to Calia. Whatever it was, he must have been happy that he had an excuse to kill me.

“In the end, the saintess planned everything to assassinate me?”

“Yes!! It’s all because of that damn saint!!”

This time the orb of truth turned black. Calia changes her words right before I step out.

“… Ah Okay! To be precise, Iris and I both came up with opinions and planned how to kill them. But in fact, I haven’t done much! The strategy was also almost concocted by the saintess and Iris that b*tch. I just did what they told me to do!”

From noble mtl dot com

The orb of truth turned white again.

Well, Calia’s brain couldn’t devise an elaborate assassination plan.

“A pitiful b*tch.”

I muttered as if I was talking to myself.

Aren’t you a puppet who was in the great position of being a warrior, but in the end, just did what others told you to do? I was curious about this.

Was it really her idea to become an empress?

“Then let’s change the subject. The four-year-old was engaged to the prince, so he was aiming for an empress who didn’t even fit the subject. Was that your idea?”

“You don’t know. What a great family our Barus family was in the past.”

When those words came out, Calia’s eyes suddenly changed.

“My family… Before the foundation of the Solus Empire. They were the imperial family of the Latis Empire, which was the strongest empire ever!!”

The Latis family… I think I’ve heard of it a long time ago. A great power that existed before the Solus Empire.

It is also said that the Devil Castle was actually made with the architectural power of the Latis Empire.

It was the Demon King who destroyed the Latis Empire.

It was also the most powerful demon king in human history and the most damaging to mankind.

I also knew a little bit about him. People here were so afraid that even calling his name was taboo.

“So, you were aiming for power to recreate the glory of the past?”

With this, I understood just a little bit why Calia became a hero. Maybe she was just chosen as a warrior because of her bloodline.

“Yes, the saintess definitely told me. I am of the former Ratis Empire. No, we will recreate the glory of the Barus family.”

Having finished the story up to this point, Calia let out a hollow laugh as if her astonishment was stunned.

“Damn the saint!! That b*tch cheated on me!!”

Calia suddenly turns an arrow of anger at Saint Lucy. Then, for the first time, I felt her identification with her.

“Okay, then let me ask you one more question. Is Pesima really dead?”

I interrupted her and asked. Calia looks at me as if she is dumbfounded by this.

“That year? I ran away with the demon king’s corpse. So when I sent someone to the Mage Tower, they said she had already died and that weak disciple was left alone.”

“Did you see Pesima’s body?”

“No? How do I see that?”

Calia seems to have no idea about this either. And on the truth orb it says it’s true.

“… A worthless year.”

As a result, no information was obtained from her. Except for her origins.

I didn’t expect that she would be such an incompetent human being. She already knew, of course, that she was a brainless b*tch, but she knew that she might have useful information because of her status as a warrior.

But looking at the reality, there was nothing like that. She was just a human with ambition.

But she didn’t think of a way to use her. Her political life has already ended, and she is a high treason whose death penalty is almost guaranteed if she returns to the Empire.

In other words, she had no use value at all.

“So… What are you going to do with me now?”

Calia asked with her frightened face if she sensed that my question was over. I glared at her.

When she thought of what had accumulated on her, she wanted to beat her up even more, but when she saw her helpless look, that thought went away.

I just have to say that she didn’t feel worth using her powers on.

“Do you want me to kill you now?”

But what she said next made me laugh.

Stupid b*tch. Even though the situation has come to this point, do you want to live anyway?

“No? Still, we have a bond together. I will give you to live.”

Surprisingly, she shows her relieved face. I punched her in the face one more time.

Calia, who lost her consciousness and stretched out. I said a word to her.

“I don’t have to do that anyway. Now, every day for you will be like hell.”

She was about to carry her who fell down like that on her back and return to her space.

That moment. Suddenly, I got a strange feeling behind my back.

Hey profit.

I summoned a dagger from subspace and threw it back.

Tup.

“Yeah, it doesn’t work for you as expected.”

A woman with a familiar voice spoke behind me.

Mina Yun.

A wizard belonging to the Noir Magic Tower. One of the few wizards that specializes in combat.

She was a woman from Korra, one of the allied countries of the Empire. She had the face of one of the few Asians in this world, so she was a character I felt strangely friendly with.

When I turned around, she grabbed the dagger I threw and smiled.

Her nice smile and her youthful looks are still there.

“Are you here to kill me? Did you forget the contract?”

In the past battle with the Four Heavenly Kings, I had a record of saving her life. In return, she had signed a contract with me.

“That can’t be. Her Highness, the princess, sent me.”

“… For what reason?”

When I asked, Mina said with a wide smile.

“Let’s go back to the Empire with me. Oh, and of course your girlfriend too.”

“Girlfriend?”

“Oh, wasn’t that your girlfriend? The wizard who saved you. Was her name Rafaela? Anyway, I’ll let him take you too.”

“And why do I have to follow you?”

“As you know, my teleportation cannot be tracked. It might be the only way to secretly infiltrate the Empire. Her Highness, the princess, is also ready to hide you here.”

“… ….”

“And he decided to give this to you.”

Mina took out a golden mask from subspace.

When I saw that mask, my eyes widened.

This was a first-class artifact that could completely change the wearer’s appearance as well as their voice.
