Defiled Hero Chapter 005

Defiled Hero

Warehouse Astrea

Entering the inn, Izayoi placed the luggage on the bed. He regretfully did not check Astrea's storage.

Remaining standing, Izayoi closed his eyes, directing his consciousness inwards.

In the next moment, he found himself in a pure white room.

「Izayoi~!」 Astrea called out while approaching Izayoi.

In order to avoid her, Izayoi pushed her face into the ground.

「Open up the storage, Astrea.」 (Izayoi)

「*Nnmm,* How cold, Izayoi. You helped out the guild receptionist girl, but you won't be kind to Astrea-chan?」 (Astrea)

「I helped her, but it doesn't mean I was being nice.」 (Izayoi)

「Then does that mean you were rude to her?」 (Astrea)

「That's not the problem here, is it? Hurry up and show me the storage.」 (Izayoi)

「Jeez, it can't be helped…」 (Astrea)

After lightly touching her forehead, just like that, an entrance appeared in the pure white room.

「Since this place isn't very fas.h.i.+onable, it's been put in a faraway place, hasn't it?」 (Izayoi)

After pa.s.sing the entrance, the first thing that catches my eye is the mountain of monster materials. Was that all just raw materials? What the heck was I thinking at the time? Of course this isn't fas.h.i.+onable, is it?

Considering the amount, thinking about how much I'd get was pointless.

「Gather the weapons here.」 (Izayoi)

「Got it.」 (Astrea)

With the wave of her finger, Astrea made the weapons appear and float in front of my eyes.

A single spear, a single scythe, a single bow, and a single sword.

I'll need to confirm the weapons.

「Astrea, appraise the weapons in order.」 (Izayoi)

「Understood.」 (Astrea)

Then, in my vision a game-like window opened up.

【Hyouzen no Yari (Spear of s.h.i.+ning Ice)】 《Emperor》

A Hyouzen-series spear made from the core of an Ice Dragon.

【Hyouzen no Oogama (Scythe of s.h.i.+ning Ice)】 《Emperor》

A Hyouzen-series scythe made from the core of an Ice Dragon.

【Hyouzen no Yumi (Bow of s.h.i.+ning Ice)】 《Emperor》

A Hyouzen-series bow made from the core of an Ice Dragon.

【Formless Sword】 《Tier 1》

Mithril-based magic sword. The sword itself is of standard performance. However, if magic is put into the sword, it will be strengthened according to the user's input.

「As expected of Izayoi the hero, you have three of the Emperor ranked weapons.」

In this world there were only four Emperor ranked weapons, and I have three of them......

I don't remember everything you know. How and where I obtained them I might not remember, but when I received the sacred sword it was enough, so I gave the rest to Astrea.

I decided not to use Emperor Rank weapons from the Hyouzen-series in public. Therefore by process of elimination, I'd use the 【Formless Sword】.

Grabbing the hilt of the suspended 【Formless Sword】, I drew it out of its scabbard.

The blade s.h.i.+ned silver with a bluish color mixed in. It looked much better than the swords in the weapon shop.

But the problem was magic power. I originally did not have any and therefore could not make the best use of the weapon.

「Astrea, can you appraise my magic apt.i.tude and capacity?」 (Izayoi)

「You don't want to ravish Astrea-chan, Izayoi? Since it's been a while Astrea-chan gets it, but you should keep things in moderation you know.」 (Astrea)

「If I don't want that, then is it fine if I make it so you sleep forever?」 (Izayoi)

「M-My my, it can't be helped then.」 (Astrea)

【Magic Capacity】 《Zero》

【Magic Apt.i.tude】 【Fire】《Tier 2》 【Water】《Tier 2》 【Wind】《Emperor》 【Earth】《Tier 1》

Five years have pa.s.sed and as it turns out my magic capacity remained at zero.

Astrea, who was previously sitting on the ground while holding her knees and puffing out her cheeks, listened to what I said and immediately shot up, holding her chest out in pride.

The same simple child as ever.

Time pa.s.sed, and it reached the dead of night.

While changing into the clothes he bought, Izayoi took out the sword from inside himself.

To be frank he was unprepared for travel.

In regards to his equipment there was no problem, but there was originally a food shortage in the town. The knight order had brought materials with them, but it was awkward for strangers like me to purchase things for several days.

Two days’ worth of food was the minimum amount I had purchased. If I were in one of the towns deeper into the mainland, then it would be possible to resupply, but getting there on foot would definitely be difficult.

I thought about it and made my way towards the town entrance. There, a single carriage loaded up with luggage carrying three people could be seen.

「Oh, are you also leaving the town?」 (40 year old man)
