The heroes

"..You leveled up."

************************************

The same day as Ellie fought with the wolves,the heroes venture towards Carthion city.

A group of five people could be seen walking on the road,they all wore strange outfits.

The 3 of them were David,Freya,and Jasmine,they we're the heroes sommoned with Hades before he was sent to heaven.

The other two we're heroes from Debels neighbouring kingdoms.

"Such a long walk.....cant we just ride a carriage or something....?"Said the man with a scythe made of bones.He wore a dark green cloak with a black leather armor underneath his cloak.

"Its fine~,this is a true adventure~!!we're heroes after all."Said the boy with white hair,unlike the other heroes,he doesnt have a weapon.He wore a white t-shirt and black pants.

"Its a waste of time to do such thing when the demons and the other heroes fight,we'll be left out in level."

"Dont worry~!There are monsters here as well!we wont be left out,so relax,okay~?"

"The monsters here are level 5 at best,thats the lowest level of an imp.They're also rare to find....most of the monsters here are 1~3."

"Well...the demon lord might give us alot of exp,right~?"

"...yeah...it should be worth killing it....i wonder how much exp it will give."

"Right~?"

As the two talk to each other,Freya and the others did the same.

"...are they stupid or what...?"Freya said as she looked at the two.

"..I dont know,since there are five of us it would be possible to defeat even a demon.Plus,each one of use can can beat a lesser demon now,but..."the man named David said as he looked at the two.

"A demon lord might be too much,we havent even fought a high ranked demon before...."

"...It might be because the necromancer is here....."the girl in a hoodie said.She was the saint that Hades saw,Jasmine.

"...Yeah,he did dominate the battle field with his sommons,but i think they're getting drunk with our continue's victory."

As the three talk with each other,the boy with white hair noticed then and spoke.

"I think you guys are just to worried,the five of us are the strongest hero there is~!Plus Derrick is with us,so it'll be fine~"said the boy as he wave his hand.

David then checked his stats.

"Most of us are just at level 20's,the necromancer is at level 30's.It would be possible if what we're fighting was just a high ranked demon,but its a demon lord.It needs the 12 heroes to defeat it."

"Come on~its jus-"the boy was about to speak when someone else spoke.

"...I agree with him."the man with the scythe said.

"It would be a great thing if we can beat it for the exp,but its unlikely as our group now might barely win against a high ranked demon.Much less a demon lord,and our job here is to defend Carthion,we'll know how strong the demon lord is once we get there."

"...okay,if you say so..."the boy said.

As they talk,our sage,David,checked Derrick's stat.

'...i already know most of his skills,but whats immortality?'he thought.

ROARRRR-!

David's thoughts were interrupted as he heard a loud roar of a monster.He looked around and saw a giant bear.It was 6 meters,befitting for a sage,david once again checked its stats.

".....So,who's turn is it..?"

"Its mine~!dont you guys steal this from me!"the boy said.

".....no,it my turn already,you've been stealing all our prey since yesterday....."Freya said.

Harry ignored Freya and charged towards the bear.

"THIS BASTARD...!"with that,Freya finally snapped and charged towards Harry.

Freya didnt want to fight with the other heroes just for exp.Harry was a different story though,he've been stealing all the decent monsters with all the exp for himself.Freya simply want to beat him up,and so she will.

As Freya charged,Harry just kept on shouting"Wind shot!"again and again.

Harry sent bullets of wind towards the bear when he noticed Freya charging closer.

"Your not stealing this from me!"

Harry noticed lightning gathered in the sky,he didnt want his prey to be stolen.Harry played games back in earth,and what he hate the most was those that steal his kill.

"You cant steal this~!you theif~!!"

As Freya heard this,a vein popped out of her forehead as she gave a creepy smile.

"..Oh....he's dead..."David said,as he looked at Freya.

"...Should we stop her..?"Jasmine asked,with a look full of worries.

"...Stop who?Freya..?why?..am i missing something....?"Derrick,the necromancer asked.He haven't been with Freya for a long time,so he didnt know about her good temper.

"..You'll find out soon enough..."David said as he looked at the sky.

Lightning then fell from the sky hitting the ground.To Harry's suprise,the lightning didnt go to the bears direction but on him.

Harry was then struck by the lightning,he didnt expect it was aimed for him so his guard was down.The lightning then vanish,revealing the bloody Harry laying on the ground.

Harry then stood up,he looked around to find the bear,he then saw the fried bear with sparks coming out of its body.It seems that the bear died as a collateral damage from the lightning.

"..You Bitc-!"Harry let out a curse but stopped when he saw Freya's face.

Her face was full of veins popping out of her forehead,her face has a dark shade on it as she gives a creepy smile.

"W-what are you doing...?stay back!"

Freya ignored him and continued walking towards Harry.With each step,Freya gets colser and closer towards him which made him panic.

"[G-Gravity Increase]!!"

At his words Freya stopped from her track,the ground was getting crushed as gravity increase by a huge margin where she stands.

"You scared me there for a sec...now know your place!"

"YOU GOD DAMN BASTARD....!!!"Ad Harry gives continuous insults,Freya continuously got pissed.

A brand new vein popped out of her forehead as her spear was covered by lightning.

"[THUNDER THRUST]-!!!"at her words,her spear charged forward.She hold her spear tight until she got out of the area under the effect of Harry's magic.

As Freya got closer at a much faster rate than before,Harry raise his left hand and shout.

"[Wrath of the great wind]-!"

A strong gust of wind blew towards Freya stopping her charge.It continuously push her back towards the area where Harry cast gravity increase.

"tsk-![IRON MAIDEN]-!"

Freya's body was then covered with steel,she then raise her spear and lightning truck it.With a body made of steel and a spear of steel,she become the greatest lightning rode and a meat shield.

"Damn it![Wind shot]-!"Harry said as he pointed his finger towards Freya like a gun.

A bullet of wind shot out and flew towards Freya,as it got closer the wind got disperse by the lightning covering Freya.The very air vibrate around her as her eyes glowed blue,her smile grew wider and wider as she got closer towards Harry.

"Wind sh-!"Harry's words stopped as a punch land on his face.

Harry fall flat to the ground facing the sky as another punch landed on his face.

"Ack-!"

Freya got on top of him as she gave him continuous punches landing all on his face.

"Damn it-!Help!This god damn gorilla lose her head-!!"

The steel around Freya's head creak as a new vein popped out.

"..this midget's really good at pissing me off...."

And so,the beating continuous as Harry howl in pain.

As Freya beat Harry to a pulp,David with the others discuss if they should help or not.

"..Lets not,im sure Freya wont kill him...i think..."Jasmine said,slightly hesitant about her decision.

"Let him be,he deserve it."David said,without the slightest sign of hesitation.

"...well,as long as she wont kill him it should be fine..."the necromancer said as he gives a wryly smile.

The discussion ended rather quick as Harry cries for help.As Freya beat him up,she suddenly stopped and looked at the sky.

The others did the same,the four of them now looked at the tall pillar of darkness except Harry who was still begging for his life.

"...Is that....Aura...?"Derrick asked as he blankly looked at the pillar of darkness that pierce through the sky.

"...That thing aura.....?!"Freya said as she stood up and stare at the sky,the clear sky darkened as the pillar of darkness touch the sky.

Freya saw may strong individuals using aura,it increase their attack and defense.To a master of aura,a stick could be a sword,that was aura.Some even manage to manifest their will with it,just like death aura that the necromancer used.

"...I've seen aura before,but those arent suppose to reach the sky....!"

"...Its getting closer to Carthion city,we need to hurry,it seems like we cant really beat this demon lord but we should at least help against it."Derrick said as he continued walking.

The others followed as well in a hurry as Harry stood up.

Harry was freed from Freya when she stood up,he then looked at the tall pillar of darkness that just saved him from his certain death.

"....thank you,demon lord..."Harry said as he followed the other heroes.

That day,Harry sweared to himself to thank the demon lord for saving him from Freya when he get the chance.As he though of Freya he also swear himself to never piss her off whatever the cost.

Will he succeed?Unfortunately,it was his fate to live as a punching bag for Freya.

And so,the heroes continue their journey towards Carthion city.

*****

He then looked at the dead trees,he cant see beyond it,as if his vision was blocked by something.

"...Just what kind of scheme are you plotting this time,system?"

<...why is it like im the villain here...?>

Hades ignored his system,he just stare at the dead tree like an idiot.

A new day starts and the valley burned to ash.
