The Heroes(2).

"Let's start saving your Big Sister from this perverted guy!"

*Slice!*

At the same time as he shouts, Merguion immediately swung his sword towards the room where Farna was, which finally created a scythe-shaped plasma wave that could penetrate the walls of the room like butter.

After suffering damage to most of its walls, the walls of the room collapsed, causing everything behind the wall to be seen by Merguion and Lea.

"BASTARD...!" There, stood the half-naked figure of Farna with an angry face who was holding a Mithril sword in a endure position. Seemingly, he had successfully repelled the Merguion's attack before.

Hm?

In addition, not far from where Farna was standing, Merguion could see a girl who was probably just 15-17 years old on the big bed that was in the room, completely naked.

"I see..." Seeing the girl's miserable state, the expression on Merguion's face began to turn colder and colder the longer he stared at her.

And at that moment, Merguion suddenly has some pat on Lea's head, who was currently taking refuge behind him.

"Lea... Go to your sister's place..."

"Huh? But..." At first, Lea intended to refuse merguion's order. But after seeing the expression on Merguion's face, Lea also became silent, and finally began to run to the place where her elder sister was.

Meanwhile, Farna is currently walking towards the Merguion with an expression full of annoyance and anger, to the point of even making his face red.

"Damn! Why? Why do you guys have to bother me at this time? Do you guys surely have nothing else to do besides disturbing me having fun?!" Although it was obvious that he was the one who was the wrong one in this matter, Farna instead began yelling at Merguion, as it all is Merguion fault.

*Tap* *tap* *tap*

However, despite being confronted by such behavior of Farna, Merguion just began to walk up to Farna as well, with his cold face.

*Swung!*

When the two of them were facing each other, Farna immediately rushed to swing his Mithril sword forward, right towards Merguion's neck.

But...

*Clink!*

... Before mithril's sword blade managed to hit Merguion's neck, the sword suddenly stopped there, along with the sound of metal clashing.

What the f*ck is this?! He shouldn't have enough physical strength to hold me back, right?!

Seeing a thin-bladed sword that was holding his Mithril sword at the moment so firmly that he could barely even give him the slightest boost, Farna began to panic because he felt a strength that Merguion shouldn't have.

Well, that's not surprising anyway. After all, Merguion is the hero with the weakest physical strength second only to Mila, of the five heroes(Riot does not count in this regard).

While Heilor has the greatest brute power and divine power, Natasha has the speed and technique of swordsmanship, Mila has magic, and Farna has mixed swordsmanship between sword and magic which makes him into something resembling a magic knight, Merguion has nothing that can be referred to as an extraordinary force in addition to his technology and intelligence.

At least, that's what the other heroes and the entire imperial family members know about the Merguion.

After all, if he fully activates the ability of those cool clothes he has always worn...

*BAM!*

"... Ahak!"

... Merguion can easily gain physical strength that rivals Heilor.

Hit by a fierce kick in his abdomen, Farna also bounced far back at high speed, until he even managed to break through the wall of the room and fell directly to the training ground of the knights who were down there.

"Sister!"

"... Eh? Lea?" Meanwhile, Lea finally made it right in front of her older sister and then hugged her tightly.

Standing right in front of the wall hole created by the impact of Farna's body before him, Merguion began to open his mouth again while listening to the interaction between the two sisters.

"We must report this matter to the Emperor immediately so that this brat can be given a punishment-"

"DON'T!" Before Merguion could finish his sentence, Lea's older sister immediately interrupted.

After that, she began to continue her words while she began to shed tears and still hugged her sister.

"E-emperor is... T-the one w-who allowed S-sir Farna... Sob... T-to 'play' with my b-body as he pleases... Sob... to Sir Farna wi-willing to participate the training and so on... Sob... S-so-"

"I see." Interrupting Lea's older sister's words there, Merguion turned around and began to walk toward the two of them.

Smiling softly at the two sisters, Merguion said.

"In that case, let's just leave this damn empire."

""... Eh?"" Hearing the words that Merguion had just said, the two sisters also became silent, not understanding the meaning of the words of the red-haired hero in front of them at this time.

***

In the meantime, changing locations a bit, let's take a look at what the other two heroes are doing; Heilor, and Mila.

Among other heroes, this duo completely spends more time together.

Why? Because the two of them had indeed known each other before they were even summoned as heroes to this world. In their previous world, they have a relationship as 'childhood friends'.

The world of the two of them is a world that strongly resembles the earth. In terms of civilization, and all other aspects.

However, their homeworld has a very striking difference from the earth.

Unlike earth, their home world has 'Magic' even though it is only known by some people. And, one of some people who knew the existence of 'magic' in that world was Mila, because she was indeed born into a family that had already learned about magic for generations.

However, unlike Mila, Heilor didn't know about magic at all or could also be regarded as 'Just an ordinary normal person' At least, until he came into this world.

After coming into this world, Heilor suddenly gained great power and finally learned the facts about the identity of his childhood friend. Heilor initially became so shocked about it that there was a small quarrel between them.

However, like a quarrel between lovers that often occurs but quickly makes up again because of how close they are, Heilor finally accepts the fact about the identity of his childhood friend.

Well, put that aside first.

Currently, the two of them are on a quest as a Hunter. That's right, they're surely closing as a Hunter right now, as you guys think.

Because currently the existence of the heroes has not been announced to the entire population of the empire, the two of them decided to try to become Hunters because they are also big fans of the Fantasy world full of adventures.

At this time, the two of them had even risen to become an A-Rank Hunter, in just such a short period.

They are currently running a Quest for the extermination of a Wyvern that seems to have appeared around a large town called 'Harsol', which is about a 2-day horse-drawn carriage ride from the imperial capital, 'Sernostaria'.

Harsol is a fairly large town that has beautiful cobblestone streets, and beautiful stone buildings that have even started to have 2 to 4 floors in some districts except slum districts, of course.

*Tap*

Walking through the vast grassland around the Harsol town, Heilor and Mila stopped their steps after seeing a fairly large shadow in the distance that seemed to be cutting down towards the Harsol town.

Seeing this, Heilor also turned his gaze to the girl who was beside him at this time, "... Mila."

Understanding what Heilor meant by just looking into his eyes, Mila also nodded her head before starting to raise her right hand towards the Wyvern.

Just after Mila raised her hand, the air around began to change.

All of a sudden, thousands of giant fireballs appeared in the middle of the grassland, forming a circle with the Wyvern right in the middle of it all.

However, it doesn't just stop there.

With the heat from the thousands of fireballs, Mila also accelerated the process of water evaporation around the area, which eventually led to the appearance of a stormy black cloud there. The rumblings of lightning were even sometimes heard here and there.

However, of course, the Wyvern will realize how dangerous its opponent is this time after being shown a scene that challenges common sense.

The Wyvern immediately twisted its body back, trying to escape from its death circle.

But unfortunately for the Wyvern, it realized all this a little too late.

After seeing all the preparations of the magic she was going to use completed, Mila also said the last words that would activate this magic.

"Death Thunder Cycle!"

Just after the words came out of Mila's lips, the entire area was instantly filled with extremely loud and terrifying light and rumbling.

Looking closer at Mila's magic, there can be seen a flash of spiral-shaped lightning that will strike the poor Wyvern, hundreds of times per second.

Anyway, in this world, there is no such magic that can control lightning or something. All this can happen as a result of a combination of magic, and Science belonging to Mila.

By manipulating the heat and cold of the surrounding air using her magic, Mila can produce a deadly artificial thunderstorm like this.

"... Mila is indeed always great, yes. I don't even need to help a little bit, haha." Staring in awe of Mila's magic, Heilor also said that cheerfully with a laugh.

Although Mila's expression still looked calm as usual, a small smile began to grow on her pink lips.

"W-well, It's still not much for me..." Mila retorted, with her cheeks slightly dyed red.

"But... It's not over yet." Heilor murmured as he stared up fiercely, and began to pull out his sword.

Seeing this, Mila was naturally confused. After all, the previous Wyvern is already been completely dead and had been reduced to just a charred winged lizard corpse, lying in the middle of the grassland.

"Eh? What are you talking about? The Wyvern is already-"

*BOOM!!! *

Before Mila could finish her sentence, a shadow suddenly fell near where Wyvern's body lay, causing an explosion of dust to fill the area.

A while later, the dust began to dissipate, making the identity of the previously fallen thing finally be seen by them.

Seeing what was there, Mila also widened her eyes.

"A... Dragon?"

That's right, there stood a dragon about 25 meters in size with its dark black scales, eating the Wyvern's corpse with its gusto.

Wyvern is an S-Rank monster because almost Hunter can't rival its flying ability and speed. However, of course, there are still creatures that are even more powerful and terrible than these Wyverns. For example, the Cyclops, a monster that is said to have existed since ancient times, has enough power to wipe out half a continent, and has been categorized as a Monster Rank: 'SS++'. Although, they have never been seen appearing again in this world for more than 500 years.

And, in front of Heilor and Mila at this time there stands one of the monster species that has the same strength as the Cyclops, but still freely multiplies and has become the most terrifying scourge in this world, Dragon.

Although a hero does have extraordinary strength among humans, they still have to grow up and undergo various hard pieces of training before they can completely surpass the human realm.

And, for Heilor and Mila who have not been to this world for a long time and have not had much experience of fighting, of course, a Dragon is still too powerful for them.

'This Dragon... It may be even three times stronger than me!' Feeling the terrifying power that kept radiating from the Dragon's huge body, Mila began to feel a very overwhelming sense of fear looming over her that time.

*Crunches* *Crunches*

Soon, the Dragon finished eating the corpse of the previous Wyvern.

Raising its head, the dragon finally realized the existence of the two young heroes.

"..."

*Gulp*

During the silence between them that seemed to last forever, Mila swallowed her saliva, having difficulty resisting the silent pressure that the Dragon continued to emit.

Her heart was beating wildly, her ears were buzzing, and her head even began to feel dizzy, just because she kept receiving the gaze from the dragon.

Will... We truly can fight this Dragon...?

While sweating profusely, Mila also asked herself about it.

... I'm not sure.
