681.
Led by Leo and Chelsea, Luke, Aina, and Harveyden Party continued their reconnaissance mission.
The destination was south, out of the realm of Tartarus.
“Don’t you think the frequency of appearances of demons, beasts, and monsters has increased compared to before?”
After wiping out about 200 orcs.
When Luke asked while catching his breath, Chelsea, who took out a short magic wand, answered.
“It got higher.”
The smell of corpses and blood, combined with the unique stench of orcs, was bothering my sense of smell.
Chelsea frowned lightly and waved her cane lightly.
Whioooo-
The wind blows and blows away the stench.
Chelsea took a deep breath of the clean air and looked refreshed.
“It hurts a little. “I still don’t like the scenery.”
Luke looked closely at Chelsea, who was grumbling slightly.
“why?”
“No. I thought of it after seeing Aina’s Clessis. Isn’t that staff from Chelsea also something great?”
“huh. Flamen. It is an heirloom of the Lwalin family. Well, Aina’s clesis is a sword made by Dweno, so it falls short of the clesis.”
Chelsea shrugged.
It may not seem like much, but a magic staff of the Flehmen level is very rare.
Divine grade items are only created from the hands of Dweno.
Even so, it is very rare to find a device that works properly.
And Flamen is a legendary grade, just below that divine skill.
In the long history of the Age of Heroes, only a very few legendary weapons have been produced.
Lightning Storm, Duran’s weapon that was damaged during this journey and a national treasure of the Moira Kingdom, is also a hero-grade weapon, just below legendary grade.
“and.”
Luke’s eyes sparkled.
“Do you want a good weapon?”
“what.”
Luke looked embarrassed at Chelsea’s question.
You shouldn’t rely too much on powerful weapons, but it’s also a problem to not prepare at all.
The hero’s armament is also clearly a hero’s power.
Chelsea smiled brightly.
“Even if it’s difficult to obtain legendary or hero grade weapons, should I teach you how to obtain the highest grade magic weapons?”
“haha. “I don’t have the funds.”
As Luke scratched his head with a shy expression, Chelsea smiled mischievously.
“You can get it for free.”
“Uh, how is it?”
Magic grade weapons can only be made in Damian if you are in the 4th or 5th year.
Luke couldn’t help but be tempted when he heard that he could get such weapons for free.
“You can become Driana’s model.”
“Eek?!”
Luke blushed bright red.
“D-Drianna’s model? that… … .”
“huh. A nude model. “You’re going to make it good?”
“Aww… … .”
Luke’s mouth was gaping and even his ears were red.
At that time, Aina stretched out her hand.
“No, Luke. Take care of yourself.”
Luke smiled awkwardly as he looked at Aina, who was slightly embarrassed and speaking with a serious expression.
“Hey. Aina. No matter what… … .”
“Hoo? He will do whatever it takes to obtain strong weapons. Great posture. “Luke.”
“Harbidden. “You know I won’t.”
Luke and Harbiden had become quite close and now even joked around.
Of course, Aina, who was not good at understanding the atmosphere, raised her eyes.
“Why? Even if you show it to me, it will wear out… … .”
Sigh-!
“What the heck is this!”
Aina struck Harveyden on the back of the head with her sword.
“Don’t say anything weird to Luke. “I will prevent that from happening.”
“No. I mean, I have no intention of becoming a nude model.”
Chelsea held her stomach and burst into laughter as she looked at her juniors who were making a fuss.
‘Anyway, I have a mean personality.’
Leo, who was looking at the sight, shook his head and looked in front of him.
There was a thick fog in the distance.
Leo was impressed when he saw that.
“Ah! This is fun! Luke and Aina are so innocent and fun to tease!”
Chelsea, who had been causing discord in the second year, approached Leo.
“By the way, the fog is thick.”

“That’s a curse.”
“huh?”
Chelsea’s eyes widened at Leo’s words.
“It looks like it was done by a corps commander-level guy.”
“Did the Commander King or the Giant King do it?”
Leo shook his head as he looked at Chelsea in shock.
“If they had done it, it wouldn’t have been that crude.”
Chelsea clicked her tongue at Leo’s answer.
I couldn’t even guess that the fog was a curse.
A curse that is both sophisticated and powerful.
‘It makes sense if a corps commander used it.’
However, Leo calls that curse crude.
“This is a curse unleashed by the legion commanders born in this era.”
“Sometimes I think Leo’s standards are ridiculously high.”
The corps commanders, who are said to be the strongest demons, are children.
“Because the times are different.”
Leo laughed and looked at the cloud of curses.
“It’s a curse related to illusions. “It blocks access from the outside.”
“Is it because of that curse that the communication magic didn’t work?”
“I guess so.”
The reason Leo formed a party and went out to scout was because communication magic with the outside world was cut off.
That’s why I took a small group of people with me to ask for support.
“Leo, can you curse me?”
“you can do it.”
Leo approached the cloud of curse.
“Curses don’t work on me in the first place.”
Leo has experienced countless curses in his past life.
As such, even if it was a curse from a demon tribe that he had never seen before, he could easily interpret the curse spell and cast it.
It is not immunity, but response is unusually fast.
An ability acquired through literally overwhelming experience.
Before I knew it, the second graders were coming towards Leo and looking nervous.
Leo, who was walking, suddenly stopped.
And then took a few steps back.
“What’s wrong? Leo? What’s wrong… … Hah?!”
Chelsea, who had been walking forward past Leo with a puzzled look on her face, screamed, covered her face, and stepped back.
“What, what is it? A wall?”
Chelsea looked puzzled.
Then the second graders also stretched their hands into the air around Chelsea.
An invisible wall was blocking the group.
“Is it a barrier?”
“Then how could I not notice?”
Chelsea frowned and waved her cane.
A strong wind blew and it naturally scattered after hitting the wall.
Chelsea saw that and narrowed her eyes.
“Leo, this can’t be right…” … .”
“Your guess will be right.”
Leo swept the invisible wall with his hand.
“It’s a wall of restrictions.”
Hero Record’s ability, Hero’s World, allows people in this world to experience what heroes experienced in the past.
It literally embodies a past era perfectly.
But no matter how perfectly the past is recreated, the world of heroes is ultimately a fake world.
The only space implemented is the space recorded on the corresponding page of the hero record.
If you go beyond a certain range, you will be blocked by this wall of restrictions.
“I don’t think the communication disruption was caused by a curse.”
Leo narrowed his eyes.
“We are trapped here.”
***
It was night when I returned from the reconnaissance mission.
Leo headed to the tent where the party members were staying.
Five people, including Artian, were sitting in front of the bonfire.
“You’re back! Student Leo!”
Artian showed a happy expression.
Leo sat in front of Artian.
The group that had followed Leo on his reconnaissance mission also gathered around the campfire to rest.
“You haven’t had dinner yet, right? “I prepared a meal.”
Artian smiled and pointed to a pot of stew smelt deliciously over the campfire.
“Wow! I’ll eat well! Professor Artian!”
“thank you for this food.”
“Thank you for caring me.”
Luke, Aina, and Harveyden gave their thanks and began dinner.
Chelsea glanced at the knife before eating her stew.
“Carl, how many children do you like?”
“So even if I have no intention of getting married?”
“This sister is just asking, right?”
Although Kanea was short and looked young due to being a dwarf, she was older than Karl.
“We’ve come a long way, but we’re lucky.”
When Chelsea opened her eyes and spoke, Carl spoke with wide eyes.
“I also didn’t have a very good fortune because I was into alchemy.”
Chelsea shook her head at Carl’s words and glanced at Eliza.
Eliza was enjoying herbal tea with her eyes closed.
He was drinking tea from a thick mug that was commonplace, as he did not have a fancy teacup, but his elegant demeanor gave him the air of a descendant of a heroic family.
Although he was called a bad student because of his insincere attitude, his behavior was perfect.
‘That proud lump of a bastard likes knives?’
Chelsea tilted her head.
I thought of Illyana, who was making a fuss after the incident two days ago.
‘I knew it would be like this! I knew it would be like this! ‘Eliza loved knives!’
‘Wipe the blood off and talk to me.’
‘I’m going to report it to the newspaper department right away! Hehehe! Since I reported this scandal, I am greatly rewarded… … .’
‘Oh, it’s Eliza’s pager.’
Wow!
‘Aaaaaah!’
Iliana, who was almost swallowed while teasing Eliza, lost her senses and started making a fuss again, only to get chewed out by the Wind Wyvern again.
Even then, I couldn’t believe it.
‘Eliza’s reaction was definitely strange, but still, did she have a knife?’
There is no student who does not know that the two have become close since the Heroes’ Festival last year.
However, many people thought that they were just friends.
That’s no wonder, as Eliza Hergin is one of the more authority-conscious students in her third year.
Students who are considered worthless due to their pride are not even treated as students.
As the successor to the Hergin family, it was in some ways a natural attitude.
It’s surprising that Eliza acknowledged Karl, a commoner, but does she have a heart as well as reason?
‘Absolutely not.’
It’s hard to imagine that Carl became a hero at such a young age.
When it comes to the Hergin family, the title of hero isn’t all that appealing.
‘What’s so good about that jerk?’
The next lord of the ancient Hergin family and a commoner.
It’s a scandal that could only come out of a novel.
“How about trying to have a child before getting married?”
Byak-!
An unusual sound came from the mug that was touching Eliza’s mouth.
A scene witnessed only by Chelsea, who was paying attention to Eliza.
Eliza spat out the thick mug she had broken with her teeth and her eyes met with Chelsea’s, who was gaping.
“What you looking at?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
Eliza’s speech was completely different from usual.
The attitude there was also several times more vicious.
Even Chelsea, who had the personality to not be put off by Eliza, felt prickly for a moment, so much so that she shrank her neck and averted her gaze.
Eliza got up, picked up her mug, and went somewhere else.
‘Wow! Wow! Awesome! Really awesome!’
Chelsea, who was certain of Eliza’s feelings, stuck out her tongue as she looked at Carl, who had an embarrassed expression on his face.
‘How on earth did you seduce me?’

“A wall of restrictions has arisen… … “It appears that the dungeon’s erosion rate is higher than expected.”
“yes.”
The appearance of a wall of restrictions means that the space of reality has become the world of heroes.
“It will be difficult to get support from outside.”
“yes. Fail their strategy… … “The only way is to destroy the Legion’s records.”
“Hmm.”
“Starting tomorrow, I plan to ask Dwenno to explore the area around the fortress.”
Usually, the record of the hero who maintains the hero dungeon is located in the deepest part of the hero dungeon.
And to get to the deepest part, you need to go to the realized space of the past.
In other words, I had to return to the world of heroes.
The same goes for the Legion’s records.
In this case, we return to the past Ivaldi.
And since this is a dungeon.
Somewhere there must be an entrance to the past that sets the stage for this page.
“That entrance will be guarded by the demons of Tartarus, right?”
“… … “There is a high probability that the Giant King is guarding it.”
“… … .”
Artian’s face changed seriously.
“Can you defeat the Giant King, Student Leo?”
“If it’s Gias, there’s no need to worry.”
Leo reassured Artian, telling him not to worry.
“Because we have the blacksmith of God.”
***
Grumbling!
Kang-! Kang-!
Golden flames swirled around.
His hammer struck the broken sword.
Enniha watched from afar.
Chii Iik-
Dwenno put the broken sword in the coolant and took a breather as he put down his hammer.
“Why are you watching me like that? Enniha.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen you touch a weapon so seriously.”
“is it?”
“huh. “You don’t really like making weapons.”
Although Dwenno had the best smithing skills of anyone, he did not like making weapons.
This was because the powerful weapon he created brought about destruction.
For Dweno, who had been unable to control his power in the past and had reduced everything around him to ashes, the act of creating something that would bring about destruction was not a very pleasant experience.
Even if it means saving the world.
“What wind is blowing?”
“… … “It’s because I have a goal.”
“target?”
“okay.”
Dwenno nodded heavily.
“My goal is to give the residents of Ivaldi a little bit of complete peace. Just trust me, Enniha.”
“… … .”
Enniha looked surprised.
“you… … “I think things have changed a little since I came here.”
“Is that so?”
Dweno chuckled.
Enniha said while looking at such Dwenho.
“But why was the workshop built in a corner like this? Ivaldi built it in the center of the city, right?”
“I just like it here.”
Dwenno said, slumping down on the hard floor.
“If you look at the stars quietly like this, good inspiration comes to you.”
“Why do you need inspiration?”
“Didn’t I tell you? I also became interested in art. “I’ll show you the picture I drew soon.”
Dwenno smiled softly.
“So Enniha. “Don’t die.”
“Don’t die. Until you see the sun.”
“Just trust me. I will do whatever it takes to take you to the future.”
Dwenno’s tightly clenched fist shook slightly.
“… … certainly.”
