Return of the Former Hero

Chapter 14. Former hero?observes the duel

What is the difference between and ?

Generally speaking,

the intelligence of demon race are higher than demons.

Demon race enslaves demons.

Demon race doesn’t form crowd. Demons form crowd.

Demon race have a similar appearance to humans.

Demon race can use magic.

And so on.

These are generally correct.

However, I think it’s a mistake to generalize.

There are demons who are more intelligent than demon race.

Although there certainly are demons under the jurisdiction of demon race, that is not the case for everything.

There are plenty of demons and demon races that form crowds.

With a gigantic figure different from humans, there are demon races with with atypical appearances.

There are demons who can use magic.

In short, with the demarcation from mankind’s thinking, things can’t be divided clearly.

However, I think.

The absolute difference between demon race and demons.

Is the strength.

As far as I know, the demon race is overwhelmingly strong.

It comes down to this.

Compared to the demons, their difference is 1 to 2 dimensions stronger.

That is the demon race.

Well, that was the story in Andalugia.

I do not understand whether it will be the same in this world.

———-

In a place a little out from the town of Torres, the girl from the demon race, Laurier, is facing the hero party.

In the surrounding, adventurers apart from me who have came to see this duel too, are watching while standing around sparsely.

There are no commoners.

That is because the general public was restricted by soldiers at the gate from going out of town.

Leon’s group had ordered it so that they will not get drag into this.

Adventurers are responsible for themselves.

“Then, shall we begin, hero.

What will you do? Will everyone come at once?

In fact, I would recommend that?”

“No. This is a duel proposed openly.

I will keep you company alone.”

You should have handled it with everyone. Although that’s what I think,

it’s not that I don’t understand Leon’s situation too.

Although the extent that I spoke with Leon was just a little,

but still I get that the fellow is a lump of goodwill and righteousness.

A duel proposed to such a guy,

there wouldn’t be a 4 person fight from the beginning.

“Leon. I understand what you think, but you are a hero.

Don’t hesitate to ask for help when the time comes.”

“……Ah. I know, Yunikram.”

It’s meaningless to be obstinate here, seems like Leon also understands.

The 2 other beautiful women show an expression with similar determination too.

“That’s it. It would be better to ask for assistance as soon as it becomes dangerous.”

Laurier says.

“Then, Laurier?Von?Steinhart.

The hero of the holy sword, Leon?Van?Lowell will slay you! For victory or defeat!”

Leon introduces himself, and thrusts forward in a dash.

That guy, was the name of the demon race remembered after hearing it once? That’s amazing.

Or rather, does anyone introduces himself by the hero of the holy sword?

That is amazing too.

Thus, the duel began.

Leon charges straight towards Laurier.

“The atmosphere filling the world, it will be good if i am protected! The shield of air, Air?Shield!”

“Haa!”

Immediately before Leon closes in on Laurier, she invokes magic.

Although Leon’s sword was swung after that, it was repelled by an invisible wall of air with a [Kyang].

Ooo.

Cool!

It’s certainly a shield of air.

In fact, I also wanted to use magic with this sort of feeling and have practiced it.

However, using air to defend against a physical attack is something I gave up after being unable to imagine it, after all.

As a result, I could compress air and use it to as an air bullet to hit an enemy with Air?Shoot.

However, Laurier’s chanting is terrible.

As the incantation only acts as an assistance to stabilize the imagination of the person himself, length and context of the chanting differs entirely from person to person,

but, it would be good if I am protected, what a condescending chant.

“Damn!”

Although Leon strikes with the long sword with a rotation, it was all repelled by the shield of air, Air?Shield.

Leon retreats for a moment after realizes that his attacks with the sword were ineffective.

Laurier has yet to move even 1 step.

“If that’s the case……The magic that dwells in the holy sword. Changing that magic into power and destroy the enemy!”

“Fufun. Magic huh.”

Feeling the difference in power already, against Leon who was looks impatient,

Laurier is not perturbed by Leon’s chanting, and is gleeful instead.

“The light of Holy sword, light?of?sword!

Leon swings the sword.

A mass of light energy arises from the tip of the sword, and gathered together, heading towards Laurier.

Was it that which finished off the goblin formerly.

Was it magic using the holy sword as expected?

The energy mass collided with Laurier.

However.

“Fu.”

Laurier brushes it off with her fist.

The energy that was heading towards her, the light from the holy sword Light?of?sword was negated with ease.

Magic is, in the end, magical power.

Although there is a difference in the phenomenon which occurs due to magic, basically when a stronger power is thrown,

the weaker magical power magic is easily smashed.

“Wh!?……Su, Such a……”

Leon is visibly shaken.

This is……

“Nn? What, only this?

Even more, isn’t there a greater one?”

“…….!”

Laurier asks with a puzzled expression.

And, ponders over something.

Leon doesn’t answer. Or move.

He doesn’t understand how it would be good to attack.

Leon’s companions too, should already help Leon.

However, if the one with the highest combat ability in the party is Leon, there may not be a companion who can win at all.

Laurier’s mood from the start to the end is light.

She doesn’t seem to have a goal of killing.

If there is so much difference in ability, wouldn’t she lose interest and return?

“Haruto!”

Sharon who changed to her usual clothes caught up.

“What happened?”

“It’s a feeling of being at wit’s end.”

“Ee? I, Is he alright? Hero-sama.”

If you ask me is he alright, it’s not okay at all.

After finishing the first event, it’s a feeling of waiting for the event of being forcefully defeated.

However, this isn’t a game.

Just because he lost to the overwhelming strength of the enemy, it’s not always true one will advance towards the next.

“Sharon. Just in case, do not part from me.”

“Eh?…..U,Un.”

Even if I say that I am a a former hero, I’m not particularly omnipotent.

There are plenty of unexpected situations.

However, I absolutely have to protect Sharon.

Of course, it isn’t the matter of abandoning Leon’s group and escaping either.

For the time being, I decided to watch Laurier’s attitude.

“Oo! Is that so? That’s so, right?

You, are a hero.”

“W, What?”

Laurier who was troubled, as if convinced, raised her voice.

“A hero, demonstrates his powers for others.”

Laurier says.

Surely not.

“In that case to start with, it’s because I have to start from defeating those companions.”

“!?……y, you bastard!”

Whether her words were finished or not, Laurier moved for the first time since the duel started.

Fast!

Did Leon really see the movement?

“GAHA!”

In the next moment, Yunikram who was waiting behind Leon had bent his knees, prostrating on the ground.
