Chapter 97 - 89: Anger (1/2)

(One Day Later, At The Border)

As Hiroshi was about to cross the border between the Kingdom of Humans and the Demonic Empire, he encountered 6 Diamond Rank adventurers.

The Guild Leader and Adalius are with them. He doesn't know who the other four are, but he knows that he'll have to push himself just to beat the 6 of them.

It was snowing heavily in the forest, this terrain can either be a disadvantage or an advantage for him. He could hide between the shadows of the trees, while calmly taking them out one by one.

”Hiroshi, I didn't think we would meet as enemies. Where is Hikaru? He should be with you, or did you two part ways?” Alphonsus asked while he took out his magic staff.

”Why should I tell you guys anything? I've explained to the others that I had a good reason why I did that, but they didn't listen to me. I know that the King issued a bounty on me. How much was it? Ah, yes, one million gold coins!” Said apathetically by Hiroshi.

���Well, if that is the case, then we'll listen to your reason. But don't expect us to believe you. No matter the reason, our town leaders were kind old people.” Alphonsus said while his heart was raging with anger.

They did not lower their weapons but they just stared at him, waiting for an explanation.

So, he told them why he killed them but as Alphonsus said earlier, they will never believe him.

The 6 of them pointed their weapons at him, and stared at him fiercely. Hiroshi knew that a battle with them was inevitable.

”Is this really unavoidable, Adalius? We shared adventures with each other, why does it have to come to this?” Hiroshi said with melancholy, and then, he steeled his heart. Slowly, he forgot that small bond between them and there was only one thing in his mind, and that is to kill them.

Adalius did not reply and just pointed his gun at him.

Then, they charged.

As if time slowed down, Hiroshi, with a melancholy look, chanted.

���Wide Range Spell: Paralyze!”

Hiroshi snapped his fingers and everything in a 50 meters radius was paralyzed by his spell. This was nothing but a one-sided battle, in fact, it wasn't even a battle.

The six of them fell to the ground with thud. They couldn't move, not a single word came out of their mouths. They couldn't look at Hiroshi but they could hear him slowly walking towards them, and they could feel his killing intent.

The last thing they heard was a silent draw of a thin sharp knife before everything went black…

(At the Throne Room of the Imperial Kingdom)

The throne room of the castle is huge, able to fit ten houses in it. There were long and thick pillars erected in each side of the throne room. At the very end and middle of it was the King of Humans.

The King of Humans once fought side-by-side with the previous heroes back then before they mysteriously disappeared.

The King has a majestic and carefully brushed beard. He has long blonde hair, blue eyes, sharp and narrowed nose. He has a dignified face, only fitting for a king. He wore a gold colored long sleeves noble coat, black trousers, boots made of gold leather, and covering them was his long red King's red cloak.

The name of the King is Kaimester Al Javiar.

He sat on his golden throne while looking down on his noble subjects. They were all standing in front of him, all the heads of the noble houses in the Kingdom. At his side was all the S-Class Heroes. And the most powerful out of all the Heroes he summoned, Keiko Sumihara.
