Chapter 45 - The worlds next hero

"I don't want to do this anymore!" Velzard was currently wailing at the amount of work she was doing to keep the world stable.

While Guy was repairing and maintaining the holes into he world that was flooding in chaos. She was given the task of culling the areas already affected by chaos. And now she was fed up.

"Why hasn't Simon come visit, has he gotten bored of me?" Velzard was extremely close to crying.

"You do not need to worry, that should be the la-Velzard?" Guy tried to comfort the dragon when he noticed her demeanor change. Before she was a child throwing a tantrum but now she looked mesmerized and excited, she looked out the window with amazement and pride while putting her hand against her chest.

I wanted to inquire about his sudden attitude change, "Velzard are you ok-" Until Guy finally realized the issue, the flucuation in the distance was Simon, and this time it wasn't your casual power up, this, this was divinity. The coming of a new hero.

All the demons in the castle could not only sense the power but also the source of who it was coming from. Instead of silently scorning the birth of a new hero or Simon for betraying their lord. They all kneeled.

Kneeled in reverence to their Glorious Prince of darkness.

And in that moment of reverence came a quick chant, "Glory to the prince of darkness. May you bring about a new age of the world."

Dino was currently halp asleep in Dagruel's territory until he felt a familiar presence… somewhat familiar.

He was jolted awake, not because of threat but because of astonishment and surprise, "This is Simon's… awakening? But how? Even for a True hero, that's way too much power!"

"Simon? So that's Guy's student huh, what impressive power." Dagruel from behind heard Dino's complaint and gave his own comment.

"He ascended without telling me. What a meanie, when he returns he's gonna make me a lot more food." Milim was currently grumbling at the fact her new bestie was doing stuff without her.

"Although, if he gets more powerful, then maybe he can play with me some more and even better this time."

From the forest of Jura, Nyx was going through the latest research papers on her father's condition while Amanises was out hunting… when they felt a reverberation in their soul, the ringing of bells, the fall of a hammer.

Amanises had just entered the barrier to confidence in Nyx's intelligence, "Do you feel it too?"

"Yeah, sorry I don't know what's going on."

Suddenly Treyni appeared before them, "Hello you two, you seem to feel it. The coming of a new dawn, the beginning of a new era. Just the enlightening exciting feeling of a new age befalling the world."

" Miss Treyni, do you know what's happening?" Nyx asked, part afraid part excited as she said she would feel.

"What's happening is Simon. His awakening into a true hero that will bring deliverance to the world."

The scene Infront of Leon wasn't new to him, unlike the other demon lords, he was a hero. He was familiar with this power, a power he had given up to achieve his goals. As someone who had this power, his opinion was, "No one is more fitting and deserving of such a power."

Leon had his qualms and reservations about Simon but even so, he had no doubt in his mind, that whatever he used his power for, he would use it for good

When I had finally come to reality, all I could feel… was pain, overwhelming pain. It felt like every muscle, every bone, both material and spiritual body felt like they were burning up.

I opened my eyes and everything Infront of me looked slowed down to an almost unbelievable degree. My Thoughts acceleration was firing off my synapses to a higher plane of existence.

Hinata noticing the re-emergence of my conscience, decided to strike to see what I could do. I looked at her movement, skipping time, constantly accelerating speed and all could think when seeing her was, '…Too slow.'

Hinata looked at the man she was rushing towards and blinked for a tenth of a second and the man was gone.

"You're too slow." Hinata heard a voice reverberate throughout her spiritual body. She used Mathematician to predict the future of his movements, moving her spiritual body to check every detail around her but no matter what she did, she could not even ascertain his position, let alone his future actions.

Suddenly I appeared behind her, she stiffened and immediately turned 180° and used Absolute severance.

I looked at the incoming sword with reluctance, I held out my hand and caught it with my fingers.

Hinata flinched at my defense, she was expecting something far more grand and outrageous like using nihlity or dodging the attack… but catching it… with his fingers! What the hell.

Hinata jumped back with out her sword to restrain her and waited for his next move. She was baffled though when I threw my sword back to her and created my own.

"Apologies, I'm not yet used to this evolution. I would like to spar more, actually, can you use Infinity prison, I want to test something out."

Hinata didn't hesitate and immediately initiated her stance and began forming the infinite spatial dimensions surrounding me pulling out my magicules rapidly. I analyzed the composition of the prison holding me.

"Huh, I understand it now." I waved my arm in a horizontal arch and the prison surrounding me shattered like glass.

When Hinata looked up, she was shocked at the recorrection of space. When suddenly the man spoke, "Now I know how to weaponize that skill."

" What do you-"

Before she could finish what she was gonna say, she saw me point my finger towards the sky while facing her and in a cold tone, I uttered, " Hado 90: Kurohitsugi."

Suddenly Hinata found herself being wrapped in a spatial cocoon. A box layering dimensions upon dimensions similar to Infinity prison, but this time was different, the spaces began to implode onto itself.

In a desperate attempt, she began rapid firing Absolute severance. This somehow worked and she was able to carve a hole out of the collapsing space, but her reserves were depleted.

"You have quite the beautiful face." Hinata heard my voice from behind and jumped back.

She was confused by the sudden turn of events. She looked at me and noticed the anti-magic mask in my hand. She realized the feeling of wind hitting her face, the exposure of the elements of the world.

"Alas, I know that's only Chloe's face, which isn't a sight for sore eyes, but I really would've wished to see your face Hinata. Now then, is there anything else you wanted to do?"

To my surprise, she knelt down on her sword and spoke only two words, "I yield."

And just like that, I made the great hero who slew the evil dragon kneel before me. I walked up to her and before her eyes, I gave her my hand, " Did you forget, this was just meant to be a friendly spar?" The man who had just treated her strongest attacks like scratches and then turning them against her was now showing her the most innocent grin ever.
