Chapter 38.1 - Volume 1 – Intermission Sword of Lightning I (1/2)

「FUuuuuuuuuuuuu!」

After a scream, the hydra fell to the ground.

Margulus and Sarveria could only be stunned at the sight.

Even against the supposedly dying hydra, Margulus and Sarveria could only feel fear.

…And yet, that monster that still instilled fears to others even when it was dying was defeated by only two people.

「Ra-Raust …」

Looking at that figure, Margulus muttered with hoarse voice…

◆ ◆ ◇

Margulus and Sarveria never had any intention to come to this place.

If they knew that mutated hydra was on its course to the labyrinth city, they would do whatever they could to escape from this city.

Margulus, Sarveria and the other adventurers who happened to be in the adventurer guild were forced to come to this place by the guild’s staffs because That was why, with how the hydra was already defeated by the time they arrived, Margulus and Sarveria should felt really lucky.

…However, they couldn’t afford to notice their good fortune.

Their focus wasn’t pointed to the hydra anymore.

it was currently directed to the healer who defeated the hydra, Raust.

The healer, which until now had been made fun of as a defect.

…But now, the people in this place understood that recognition was a mistake.

The adventurers here, including Margulus and Sarveria, aware of how horrifying of an existence that mutated hydra was.

It was because they were taught directly by the instinctive fear they felt from the hydra and how it felt standing in front of that kind of existence.

And yet, Raust defeated such monster with only two people.

It was an achievement that couldn’t be imitated even by the leading first-class adventurers that spread their name even until the capital city.

A mutated super-high difficulty monster was just that much of a big deal.

It was unknown how much damage that monster could cause, a disaster beyond natural disasters.

That was people’s recognition of the mutated super-high difficulty monsters.

And Raust who defeated it with only two people would most likely be revered as a hero.

「………Gh!」

…Understanding that, Margulus finally understood what kind of existence he kicked from his party.

Even now, Margulus still thought that Raust was a useful person.

But his value was more than that.

Margulus finally understood that.

How much power did Raust have.

Also, the fame of Sword of Lightning, that was all because Raust was there.
