I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

84 – Humanity’s ultimate weapon

“The owner said something was wrong. The foolish Four Heavenly Kings lost to the wise men. After the great sage disappeared, a sage named Everin awakened, became very strong, and began to command other sages. The Four Heavenly Kings didn’t listen to Misha’s orders because their master wasn’t around, and they fought like ragtags and were defeated. Misha is still fine, but Gerena seems to be dead.

Besides, besides… It seems that these guys still have a secret number hidden.

You know a guy named Helen, right? She’s a woman who was also at the academy.

When he saw Misha fighting with Arwen, he said, “Stop it now and come back, Arwen. That level is enough to defeat him with the final weapon.”

Seeing Misha’s strength and making such arrogant noises… But for some reason, the atmosphere didn’t seem like a lie.

Master, please come back soon.

—by Misha Greenwood, the owner’s girlfriend and eternal right-hand man」

“ah… This seems to be bothering me a bit. Irene? Look.”

“What is it?”

I handed the letter to Irene while looking at the horizon of the demon continent that stretched quietly.

It’s so peaceful here, but the other side seems to be very chaotic.

yes… Things in the world don’t always flow easily.

“Well… okay. If Gerena is dead, you should definitely go. But this final weapon… ? what’s the part called? Do you know John?”

Irene asked as she returned the finished letter to me.

“No, I don’t know. Rather, I thought you would know, so I tried to ask.”

“I am hearing it for the first time. final weapon? I don’t know what… However, if the sage Helen judged that she was capable of defeating the elven queen, it seems that the humans also have hidden secret weapons.”

“The final weapon… Are you concerned?”

I don’t think that someone stronger than me will suddenly pop out now that I’ve won even the great sage.

Well, it’s close to defeating the great sage with a well-planned strategy.

Sage Helen… Ever since he was in the academy, he’s been known for being smart and quick to judge situations.

Arwen Undress, whom he always went with, was a guy with grandiose titles such as mankind’s strongest warrior.

In terms of simple fighting power, the dominant evaluation was that Arwen was superior to the great sage.

Besides, is there another final weapon that Helen believes can subdue Misha?

something… I care.

what is the final weapon

But since Irene doesn’t know, there’s no one to ask.

“me!!! I know about the final weapon!! please!! save me! No more souls left! If you get eaten now, it’s over! I’ll tell you what the final weapon is!!”

At that time, Carlos, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation from afar, screamed with an unusual content.

It may simply be an improvised lie to beg for one’s life.

Still, we rescued Carlos, who was on the verge of being eaten head-on by a demon dog.

“What is the final weapon? Tell me.”

“Don’t tell me, they’ll kill me!”

“Even if you don’t tell me, you will die anyway.”

When I sat on the terrace, Carlos took a break.

Well, to be honest, as soon as I heard the answer, I was going to kill myself by pulling out my heart, so Carlos’ prediction wasn’t wrong.

“No, you can’t! If the usefulness drops, it’s obvious that he’ll kill me! Now I really only have one life stack left.”

“Are you really sick? If you don’t tell me, I’ll kill you right away?”

Irene and I looked down at Carlos who was kneeling high-handedly and pressed him.

Even though he was very frightened, he stubbornly did not miss the life extension line he had caught.

“I will provide you with other information instead. This, the place where the final weapon is hidden is in Auren City.”

“Then the bottle or the toilet must have been destroyed. Because I turned the capital into a mess.”

“no… The final weapon is hidden underground, so it must have been safe.”

“… … … … ”

I don’t have mind reading, but I don’t think Carlos is lying now.

“Where exactly is Auren City?”

“that’s… I can’t speak.”

“I’d rather just kill him.”

“No no, listen to me for a second!”

Carlos resisted violently, waving his hands.

“Take me to Auren City first. Then I’ll direct you to the exact location there. So is it okay? Me, ask me to give you a way to live too! If you kill me anyway, you will have to face the final weapon without knowing anything?! I’ll tell you in advance, but it’s unclear whether even you guys can win against it. It’s true! I even thought of killing you guys with that weapon. Knowing your skills well! Don’t you understand what I’m saying?!”

Is it at least a proof that you are telling the truth that you even bring up a story that will be disadvantageous to you?

I glanced at Irene and asked for her advice.

Irene was also resting her chin as if in trouble.

After thinking about it, she asked her younger brother.

“Carlos… Who else knows about the final weapon besides you?”

“So… Actually, only the great sage noticed my plan a thousand years ago, and I had no choice but to tell the great sage at the time the truth about my sister, John, and the devil. After hearing that, the great sage at the time said that my sister might open her eyes someday, and made me prepare for that time, and that is the final weapon. Even after that, I only told the great sage the whole truth from generation to generation.”

I finished Minerva.

So you’re saying that Carlos is the only one who knows about the final weapon?

“ah… But I told you that Minerva revealed the information to Helen. If Helen gets a weapon… As you all know, Helen has a right-hand man named Arwen. Humanity’s Strongest Warrior! know? Helen, who even got the final weapon in Arwen, would be too hard for even you guys to deal with. Besides, Helen herself has the level of a sage!”

Carlos desperately appealed for the reason he had to live.

“how? Hey, wouldn’t it be better to take me to Auren City and get to the weapon before Helen, rather than kill me? That would be much quicker than torturing me and forcing me to speak?!”

I could understand the desperate feeling of wanting to live.

But anyway, even if you do as Carlos says, his life will only be slightly extended.

At most, it won’t even last half a day.

After finding the weapon, it will be discarded right away.

No matter how stupid you are, you won’t be so stupid that you don’t know that, but what are you thinking?

＜Did you notice, John? Carlos is up to something.＞

＜Eh?＞

Irene’s voice entered her head.

She sometimes does this even when she is asleep in her coffin, but telepathy seems to be her specialty.

＜I can’t read people’s minds either, but I can sense murderous intent. Carlos isn’t just struggling to live a few more minutes, he’s going to stab us in the back.＞

＜Then I’d rather just die here＞

＜Wait. As long as I know the opponent will sell a trap anyway, I will never get caught. We use Carlos in our own way… ＞

Based on her experience of watching her brother for a long time, Irene told her what tricks Carlos could have planned in this situation.

Having learned how to deal with it properly, I pretended to accept Carlos’ proposal and dragged him into the swamp of the Jang Gye-chwi system.

“Okay Carlos. I will take you to Auren City.”

“I-really Faust?!”

“yes. As soon as you arrive in the capital, you just do your thing like a drug sniffing dog. All you have to do is tell us where the final weapon is. If you do something useless, I will kill you right away.”

“Ahh… That, yes, of course!”

Carlos rubbed his palms unnaturally as he gave off a hint of acting.

Faust and Irene looked down at the king, who was struggling to win favor, with cold eyes, and spread their wings to complete the final task of purifying mankind as if it was not worth talking about.

“great. You’ll fly at the speed of light, so don’t struggle. If you fall from the air, it’s just a fall.”

“Now, hold on!”

Faust picked up Carlos, who could not fly by himself, with one arm.

“Faust. Are you going to lift me?”

“Then what? can you keep up with our speed Can you fly in the first place? I’ve never seen him use magic.”

“No, not that… Wouldn’t it be better for my sister to listen?”

“? What does that mean?”

“Large… Don’t get me wrong. After all, there is a rule in the Aurelia royal family that the royal family must not come into physical contact with non-royal people.”

“It sucks.”

“Ouch!”

Faust lightly hit the honey chestnut, creating a hill-like lump on the top of Carlos’ head.

He wrapped himself around the king’s waist in a question and answer dance and soared into the sky.

“Are you going to have a picnic or something? If you show me any more, I’ll just kill you here.”

“Mi, I’m sorry. It’s very uncomfortable to have skin-to-skin contact with someone I don’t know… ”

Carlos’ timid defiance was quelled with a single honey chestnut, but his expression as he was caught by Faust and flew away was full of anger, like a man who had lost a large fish caught on a fishhook right in front of his nose.

‘damn… Too bad. I missed these dogs a great opportunity to feed one shot. ‘

Carlos knew, of course.

That he would die as soon as he became useless.

The real purpose of his desire to extend his short life by revealing the approximate location of the final weapon was to contact Irene and take her body when the opportunity came.

‘A while ago, I was just beaten up because I wasn’t in a hurry, but if you think about it, my older sister and I are siblings, so we’re close blood ties, right? The know-how of absorbing the souls of my kin can’t come close to me. Kkeuk… There is still hope. That’s an incredibly close hope… ‘

Carlos subtly reached out his hand toward Irene, who was flying by.

His drinking technique, which he has repeated over a thousand years, has already reached the level of a master, and a close family member can steal the body of another person just by holding hands.

momentary touch.

That’s enough.

If Irene’s body is made mine, the troublesome sister will be automatically dealt with, and Faust, who is left alone, is enough to defeat it with the wise men.

‘Keukkeuk… It’s like mojiri who don’t know anything. There’s not much left for you guys to pretend to be proud of. Carlos will send both bitches to hell soon. Kkeukkeuk… ‘

Carlos couldn’t help but praise himself for his own genius, who saved his life in an instant and prepared to strike the back of two demons, Faust and Irene.

However, Irene accelerated and shook off his hand as she disappeared far ahead.

The remark “I want my older sister to lift me” and “that hand”

Unlike the self-proclaimed genius Carlos, with these two pieces of evidence, Irene, a real genius, knew everything about her younger brother.

＜Whoops… It was like that. OK John. Carlos intends to contact me and take my body＞

＜Then Carlos’s fate is decided.＞

＜Yes. It’ll just suck us in and we’ll die horribly.＞

Carlos was waiting for a future where it would have been better if he had been eaten by the demon dog and had a clean ending.

—The three of them flew across the sky at a speed faster than that of a jet, and soon arrived in Auren City.
