Volume 2 Chapter 47-2 The Four Heavenly Kings of the East VS the Strongest Hero Party V
Yes, the victory condition is to defeat every single one of these countless bugs.
It's impossible to defeat all these tiny bugs that move quickly and freely.
...And yet, the Heroes remained calm.
'Why!? How can you be so relaxed!?'
It was strange.
How did these newcomers know my true identity and the victory condition right away...?
"Well, of course!"
""The Guildmaster told us the strategy!""
The Guildmaster.
That means Act Age, the Guildmaster of the Adventurers Guild.
'Act... AGEEEEEEE!'
Jacky shouted the name of the man standing against the Demon King's army.
The young man with the power to see the future had already figured out the demon's attack and the enemy's weaknesses.
Everything was in his hands.
'B-but! You haven't won yet!'
"Huh? Are you stupid? We already know the enemy's true identity!"
Higami readied her sword and grinned confidently.
"He predicted this situation too. And he taught us how to defeat them. ...Here we go, Suigetsu!"
"Yes!"
The two stood side by side.
Higami and Suigetsu readied their swords, channeling their magic together.
...A chill ran down Jacky's spine.
A sense of defeat flashed in his mind.
The pressure they gave off was overwhelming.
'R-RETREAT!'
The swarm of bugs (Jacky) scattered into the air.
Meanwhile, Higami and the others remained unfazed.
"Create a barrier! Everyone, move to the back!"
Following Domon's command, the other 2 Heroes did as told.
As the Earth Hero stomped the ground, a massive rock wall appeared.
"Get ready for impact!"
Domon, Nikkou, and Mokuren each cast their defensive spells.
This was to protect themselves and the northern wall behind them.
...In other words, Higami and Suigetsu were about to unleash a powerful attack.
Flames of crimson rose from Higami's body.
A chilling wind from Suigetsu's body swirled around.
Each gust rose into the air.
"Here I go!"
"Yeah, let's do this!"
Higami and Suigetsu raised their swords high.
Higami aimed to the right and back, while Suigetsu aimed to the left and back.
And with all their magical power, both swung their swords.
""[Aurora Caliber!]""
Flames and ice clashed in midair.
In that moment, blinding light filled the surroundings.
It was a rainbow of colors... an aurora.
Its beauty would captivate anyone who saw it.
But whoever witnessed it would meet their end immediately.
The aurora they unleashed would erase everything in a straight line.
A terrifying wave of energy enveloped Jacky in an instant.
'GYAAAAAHHH!'
The countless insects (Jacky) vanished the moment they saw the light.
The light of death meant instant death upon sight.
Even if the light wasn't visible, anything illuminated by it would disappear.
And in the end, they all died.
Eventually... a wasteland stretched before them.
"Well, that's a victory-degozaru!"
Suigetsu smiled brightly.
But on the other hand... Higami was speechless.
"What's wrong-degozaru?"
"Um... I mean... it was me who did this, right?"
Compared to Lawrence and his crew, she thought she was still an ordinary person.
But looking at the blank ground in front of her, she felt she had stepped far into Lawrence's realm.
She sighed, imagining Lawrence and his friends waving at her with smiles, welcoming her to the world of monsters.
"Amazing, Higami-degozaru!"
They defeated the Four Kings.
This was undoubtedly a great achievement.
But she couldn't feel completely happy about it.
"...I don't feel like I won on my own."
"That's fine, isn't it?"
"Suigetsu...?"
"It's a victory we all earned together-degozaru!"
Looking at her smiling friends made her worries feel trivial.
"Yeah... you all did great... wait, that's not right."
It felt even better now, defeating Jacky together than when I took down a monster alone.
"Thanks to everyone! I really appreciate it!"
Higami had the most beautiful smile on her face.
The girl who used to rush in alone, feeling frustrated when she couldn't win, was nowhere to be found.
Instead, there stood a brave person, working with friends to defeat a great evil...
Yes, at this moment, she had truly become a Hero.
