Chapter 160 - Heros Descendant 3 (1/2)
Chapter 160 - Hero's Descendant (3)
“Currently, the human realm isn’t in a good situation.I know that.However, nothing good will come from rushing forward.I’m not simply saying this to ensure the continuation of your line.I think both of you need to leave behind a place where you can return to.”
“A place where we can return to······.”
Maetel’s eyes were still twinkling with stars.However, it was wrong to think that she was earnestly listening to Promes’ words.She was merely fixated on one thought.
It was the thought of making a baby with Artpe!
“Yes.I also think that is a must!”
“As your father, it does make me feel a bit uncomfortable when you are jumping in with open arms…..”
“Right?As expected, isn’t it too early?”
“No.I’m not saying that.”
Shit!This ahjussi can’t make up his mind!
Anyways, Artpe had to get out of this mad house!
“Wait a moment!I have a suggestion!It is very important for the hero to continue his line.However, wouldn’t it be more important to make a progeny between a hero and a holy priestess!”
“Mmm!?”
“When the heck did you come in here, Vadinet!”
Her timing couldn’t be any worse!The person that could make this situation more complicated had appeared!
“I don’t think a hero on hero pairing is the right way to go.From what I’ve read from old stories, I believe there is a better case to be made for a hero and holy priestess pairing!”
“Stop pairing me off with everyone!”
“Holy Priestess-nim, please give us some more stew!”
“Hurry up and take her!”
“The stew isn’t important right now!”
Vadinet refused to retreat.She was rooted in place like a steel beam.Artpe was surrounded by Maetel, Vadinet and Promes.He wondered how he could get out of this situation.He didn’t think he could solve this problem by dodging them.
That meant…..
“Roa!”
[Nyaa!]
“Oooh-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
“What the hell did you do”
The answer was to create a mess in an entirely different direction!Artpe threw the Evil Heart towards Roa.While Maetel was marking Artpe, her grip on Roa had loosened.She immediately jumped out of Maetel’s grasp, and she chomped down on the Evil Heart!
[Nyaa? Nyaa nyaa?Nyaa nyaa nyaa?]
‘Eat?I’m really going to eat it.I can eat it?’
Her large eyes were sparkling.Artpe looked like an archmage about to drop a Meteor spell on an enemy nation.His face hardened.He nodded his head as he yelled out his words.
“Finish it!”
[Nyaa-ahhhhhhhhhh!]
She swallowed the Evil Heart!
“Oooooo-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
“We are ruined!You crazy bastard!Our efforts for the past couple hundred years went down the drain!”
“You didn’t want to go into the metaphorical grave of life, so you plan on putting all of us in a real grave, you bastard!”
Everyone was flustered, and they distanced themselves from Roa.While they were doing so, Artpe took out his magic tome, and he let his staff float into the air.
“You guys don’t have to be so worried.”
“How can we not worry!”
Artpe hadn’t mindlessly fed the Evil Heart to Roa.Roa had already eaten an Evil Heart before.It was an item akin to the source of Demonic energy, yet Roa was able to make it her own.When Artpe acquired the second Evil Heart, he hadn’t given it to Roa, because he wanted to see if the second Evil Heart differed from the first one.
It didn’t take him too long to make the assessment.When his assessment was about to end, his solo life had been about to come to an end!It was an extremely unfortunate situation!
[Nyaa nyaa nyaa-ooh nyaa, nyaa-ee-ooh nyaa nyaa.]
“I killed all the nearby monsters first, because I wanted to prevent the Evil Heart from becoming unmanageable.I even prepared the magic tome, so the probability of failure is zero!Basically, I made all my moves for this very moment.”
“You just wanted to get out of the current situation!You are reverse-engineering your explanation after you made the mess!?”
This was why he hated adults that were quick on the uptake!
This was why he ignored the old hag’s words.He acted as if he hadn’t heard her words.
On the other hand, it was true that Artpe had been preparing for this moment.He had made preparations since Roa had eaten the first Evil Heart.However, he never expected to be put in a situation where he would have to voluntarily feed the other Evil Heart to Roa!
[Nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa nyaa!]
The Demonic energy, which had completely melted into Roa’s body, activated when it met its other half.Roa’s eyes widened as she activated her own Mana.She desperately tried to digest the Demonic energy.
Artpe monitored her progress as he activated his magic tome.Vadinet gave up on stamping her mark on Artpe for now.She also prepared her skill.
Maetel pouted.
“So you really hate the idea of it, Artpe.I’m hurt.”
“I just think it is too early!”
[Nyaa! Nyaa-ah!Nyaa-ahhhhhhh-oooooooh-ahhhhhhhhhhhh!]
It was hard to tell if Roa was screaming or roaring.Her pitch kept getting higher.No one inside the temple was thinking about marriage or progenies.Everyone was nervous as they prepared for battle.
In the end, luminescent purple Mana was emitted from Roa’s body.
“······.”
“Artpe······?”
“Mmm.”
Artpe was monitoring Roa’s change in real time using his Read All Creation ability.There was a subtle change to his expression.He looked as if he was having trouble expressing his emotions.In the end, he closed his magic tome.
“This is the second time this has happened.”
“Second time?”
