    Cheaeng-!

    The sound of swords crossing echoed in the darkness.

    Kagagagak-!

    A power struggle began.

    Leo’s red eyes narrowed in the darkness.

    Kagak-! Woe!

    The tense balance of power collapsed in an instant.

    Seeing Leo’s sword leaning towards him Xian pulled away sending Leo’s sword away.

    Kwaang-!

    Leo’s sword struck the marble floor.

    Toad-duk-

    Marble pieces flew everywhere.

    Leo got up from the destroyed marble floor and retrieved his sword.

    ‘That’s incredible power. ‘I can’t believe he can exert this much power through pure strength.’

    “It wasn’t a lie to say that he was the best hero candidate.”

    Xian’s eyes lit up and he aimed his sword at Leo.

    “It would be even more worth taking down you.”

    Leo made a sad expression at those words.

    It wasn’t worth answering.

    ‘But your skills are real.’

    A lot could be learned by crossing swords.

    Xian’s skills were by no means mediocre.

    Whioooooooo-!

    The wind blew around Xian.

    ‘Auror of the Wind.’

    It was different from Chen Xia who used water aura.

    ‘The Emperor of Shan was an Auror of Flame.’

    It was clear that the three people shared an Auror mentality that had been practiced for a long time.

    However the properties used were completely different.

    ‘If you are a descendant of Bihar… indeed. ‘Is that what happened?’

    Leo recalled the Auror method he had taught to his student.

    Leo chuckled as he realized why the three people were using auras of different attributes.

    Sian said while looking at Leo.

    “I hope you show the power of this class.”

    At Xian’s words Leo put the sword on his shoulder.

    “Is it worth it?”

    “what?”

    “That means I’m not the type of person to go to the trouble of using magic or summoning techniques.”

    “You’re overconfident. “Don’t you think that’s arrogance?”

    “Not really.”

    Leo smiled coldly at Xian who asked while smiling.

    Xian’s eyes twitched as he looked at Leo like that.

    ‘You bastard.’

    Sian was a genius.

    Also his qualities as a shadow.

    Also his qualities as a hero.

    A genius who embraces everything.

    From a young age the only competition he had was his twin Chen Xia who was also called a genius.

    But Sian surpassed even that.

    ‘Sia is half-hearted.’

    Chen Xia was born with only the talent of shadow.

    ‘It’s a pitiful fate that I have no choice but to live completely in darkness.’

    Sian did not blame the twins for trying to kill him.

    It was just pitiful.

    ‘It’s a trivial fate that has no choice but to live like that.’

    But he was different.

    ‘I can’t waste my power by becoming a shadow or something.’

    He was born with the ability to become a greater hero than anyone else.

    From a young age Xian was the object of praise.

    Many of those who taught him shed tears in admiration of his talent.

    Throughout the entire history of Heroes and Shadows he was praised and said that there would never be another talent like Xian.

    That was actually the case.

    Sian has never experienced any frustration until now.

    He easily broke down all the obstacles that others felt were walls and achieved with great ease what others wanted to achieve.

    In reality after leaving Shan Xian became stronger.

    Using the power of Tartarus he conquered the worlds of countless heroes and inherited their powers.

    I shivered at the thought that I could become the hero I wanted so badly.

    ‘I was right.’

    He was a person worthy of being a hero as he easily overcame the trials of those who were called heroes.

    On the one hand I thought.

    ‘Even the trials of heroes are so easy. After all I can become a great hero. I am a chosen human being.’

    Sian has never once denied the fact that he is a genius.

    A human being who naturally stands above others.

    But… but…

    “I don’t like it.”

    Leo’s gaze as if he was looking down at him from a great height was annoying.

    I could tell.

    The fact that the boy in front of me didn’t even care about me.

    Sian who lived her life looking down on everything found those eyes truly annoying.

    “The attitude as if I don’t care. “What do you think I am?”

    “Hmm.”

    Leo stroked his chin.

    Leo thought for a moment then nodded and answered calmly.

    “Trash that needs to be removed?”

    Xian’s eyes fluttered.

    “Is that so? “You betrayed the world and ended up in Tartarus.”

    “I’m just using Tartarus to become a hero.”

    Xian spoke confidently.

    “I also wanted to confidently enter Rumern. But this country is wrong. “You’re forcing a genius like me to become a shadow.”

    “I agree that this country’s ways are wrong. But that is no reason to join hands with Tartarus.”

    A cool light flowed from Leo’s eyes.

    “Using Tartarus to become a hero is just nonsense.”

    “You won’t understand. But I will increase my strength and subdue Tartarus.”

    Leo stopped walking at those words.

    And then he shook his shoulders and suppressed laughter.

    “What’s so funny?”

    “If it were you wouldn’t you laugh?”

    There was a hint of contempt in Leo’s gaze.

    “Boys like you past and present all say the same thing.”

    “what?”

    “It’s not the first time I see idiots like you.”

    Even in times of disaster there were many people with outstanding talent.

    And many people sided with Tartarus.

    The reason was the same.

    ‘Use Tartarus to subdue Tartarus.’

    “There were countless narcissistic people besides you who couldn’t acknowledge their own limitations and had neither the ability nor the will to overcome them.”

    Sigh-

    Leo raised his sword.

    “I’m sick of that nonsense.”

    Leo curled the corners of his mouth.

    “And a genius?”

    There was a time when Leo also thought of himself as a genius.

    Kyle’s time.

    Be it martial arts magic or summoning.

    I had no doubt that I was a genius because I learned things easily.

    ‘There were actually some true geniuses.’

    These friends are now praised as great heroes.

    Real geniuses who have reached the pinnacle of their respective fields.

    Leo was able to subdue Erebos as the last great hero because he borrowed many things that his colleagues had achieved.

    ‘Even that was close to a miracle.’

    Leo did not call himself a genius because he had watched such friends from the side.

    In Leo’s opinion in such a situation Xian boasting about his talent as if he was something great was just laughable.

    Seeing Leo laughing at her Sian saw that life was young.

    The reason I first wanted to defeat Leo was simple.

    I wanted to defeat him and prove that I was the best hero candidate.

    Afterwards the way Leo acted like a shadow bothered him so he tried to kill him.

    But it’s different now.

    ‘This guy is denying my very existence.’

    Whioooooooo!

    Mana swirled from Xian’s body.

    That was not the wind aura that Xian used.

    ‘Are these abilities obtained through hero abilities?’

    Leo’s eyes narrowed.

    I could clearly feel that this was an ability gained by conquering the world of heroes.

    That’s not all.

    Sigh-! Woe!

    Accessories and armor imbued with mana were created throughout the body.

    ‘Hero Weapon. ‘Of course you can think of him as possessing many hero skills.’

    Hero candidates also begin to explore the world of heroes in earnest in their second year.

    However the fact that Xian who is just a traitor has as many strategy rewards…

    ‘Are you collecting hero records in Tartarus too?’

    Of course you cannot open the world of heroes even if you only have hero records.

    ‘But the piece of Erebos is sealed inside the Hero Record. And they can take advantage of that.’

    Such as bringing back the fragments of Erebos that were sleeping in Luna’s world to the real world or making past army commander Zerdiac descend into the present world.

    Tartarus was clearly using Hero Record’s abilities.

    Even if you attack the demons you cannot receive a reward for the attack.

    But for hero killers…

    ‘Did you open a hero record influenced by the pieces of Erebos and support hero killers to become stronger? The person who could take the lead in something like this would be the Demon King.’

    Commander-in-Chief of Tartarus.

    The Demon King Hell Kaiser is called the strongest and worst corps commander.

    Grumble-!

    Cian muttered lowly holding a red curved sword that spewed out huge flames.

    “I’m going.”

    Leo seeing that vision smiled and raised his aura.

    Grumbling-

    The flame burned fiercely.

    Woe! Quagga River-!

    The two charged at the same time.

    With that a huge flame engulfed the surroundings.

    Quagga River-!

    As if exploding in succession the flames filled the entire hallway completely blowing away the darkness.

    Crackle-!

    At that moment the hero weapon that Xian was holding cracked.

    When Xian saw that his eyes widened.

    “no…!”

    Xian urgently pushed Leo away.

    With that he aimed his hand at Leo.

    Woe!

    A blade of wind erupted from the hand and struck Leo.

    Hero skills.

    As expected from a technique used by a hero it contained powerful power.

    Huh-!

    The wind aura swirled in Leo’s hands.

    Burbububbung-!

    The attack was canceled out and strong wind pressure swirled around.

    At the same time all the windows in the hallway were broken.

    And Xian swept away by the wind pressure flew away.

    Light-

    Sian who landed lightly on the floor narrowed his eyes and looked at Leo.

    ‘The Aura of the Wind and the Aura of the Earth.’

    Auras of multiple attributes are being used simultaneously.

    “It’s a hero ability.”

    “Wrong.”

    Leo chuckled.

    Sigh! Cheeeeeeeek-!

    The water aura that spewed out from Leo’s hand extinguished the flame.

    “I guess it’s fundamentally the same as the Auror method you learned?”

    What I am currently using is the Auric Method that was gifted to Bihar.

    ‘Aron created the basics and I created the details.’

    The Auror Mind Law which was born from the hands of two great heroes was a mind law tailored to Bihar.

    Vihar was born with mana characteristics that allow him to possess all four major attributes.

    ‘Auror mentality must have changed as generations passed.’

    To specialize in your innate attributes.

    Therefore even if you are learning the same Auror mentality different attributes will appear.

    The form has changed but the root is the same.

    ‘I made it but it’s hard to write it as well as he does.’

    Although it was a temporary ability used to respond to various attributes it was difficult to use it as freely as Bihar.

    Leo adjusted his sword and held it.

    “so.”

    “…?”

    “Is this the end?”

    Xian’s face stiffened.

    “You talk like you’re going to use something great but are you saying you’re borrowing someone else’s ability to use it?”

    “cheeky….”

    Kwaang – growl!

    In an instant Leo’s sword swung aiming for Xian’s neck.

    Xian barely received it and his eyes widened.

    Paddeuk-chaeng-!

    The cracked hero weapon broke.

    Xian urgently lowered his head.

    Juan-!

    Leo’s sword passed through the area where his neck was with bloody force.

    Wow!

    “Huh?”

    Leo’s knee hit Xian’s face as he lowered his head.

    Leo bent his knees as he looked at Xian floating in the air.

    Damn it!

    As Leo leaps the floor falls! and turned off.

    Hiss! Suddenly!

    “Huh?”

    Leo’s sword cut into Xian’s side.

    Starting with that Leo used the narrow hallway to leap at incredible speeds and cut up Xian from all directions.

    Blood began to splatter from Xian’s body floating in the air.

    I resisted by instinctively avoiding critical points but I was cut to the point where I was helpless by Leo’s sword.

    Leo’s eyes flashed in the darkness.

    Buak-!

    Xian’s right arm split the air.

    dump-! Wow!

    Sian managed to land on the floor.

    “This can’t be happening… I… I’m destined to become a great hero!”

    Xian muttered as if in a trance.

    He couldn’t believe the existence of Leo who overwhelmed him.

    Leo approached Xian to hit his neck.

    “It’s not fair! You gained great power because you conquered Luna’s world! That’s why you’re stronger than me!”

    “I didn’t use any magic while fighting you?”

    Leo laughed at Xian’s denial of reality.

    “If I inherit the power of a great hero I too will become a great hero! If you obtain the sword said to be related to Kyle that is kept in this country and conquer that world…! “If you gain the power of a great hero you can become stronger!”

    Leo’s eyes twitched as he looked at Xian who was ecstatically writing evil words.

    ‘My sword?’

    The known history of the Shan Empire is 4000 years old.

    And if you consider that Bihar is their ancestor the history of the Shan spans 5000 years.

    ‘It’s not strange if there are items related to me.’

    “If only I could inherit the abilities of the beginning hero rather than the abilities of these insignificant heroes!”

    “Have you ever thought that it’s not that heroes’ abilities are insignificant but that you are poor?”

    “You bastard!”

    Sparks flew out of Sian’s eyes.

    It was time for Leo to raise his sword to end Xian’s life.

    Gooooooo-

    That moment.

    Something stirred in Xian’s shadow.

    Woe!

    Leo’s eyes twitched at the sight of a huge bone blade sticking out of the shadows.

    ‘It’s Hell Kaiser’s necromancy.’

    Ta-dak-tad-dak-

    The skeleton that came out of the shadows clicked its mouth.

    Then he looked at Leo with dark red eyes and bowed his head politely.

    “It is an honor to meet you. “Leo Plov.”

    Leo’s eyes twitched at the polite voice.

    It was a familiar voice.

    Flesh began to ooze out from the white bones.

    Eventually the fierce-looking giant who was probably 2 meters tall and took the form of a living human was smiling a gentle smile contrary to his appearance.

    “It is an honor to meet you who is said to be the greatest hero candidate of our time. “So-in…”

    A man with white teeth introduced himself.

    “My name is Atkan the Grand Duke of Zhangsong.”
