    482.

    Under a sky turning twilight.

    A knight holding a long sword and a knight holding a great sword were confronting each other.

    Thamus a knight with a great sword and armed with a brilliant weapon spoke.

    “You managed to come out alone Twilight Knight.”

    Thamus spoke in a cold voice.

    “The idiots of the world talk.”

    Thamus aimed the Nox in his hand at Rumern.

    “The Twilight Knight is the successor to Kyle the hero of the beginning.”

    Kyle the hero of the beginning.

    2000 years ago.

    The last great hero who saved the world from destruction.

    I have overcome countless hardships and trials and surpassed countless limitations.

    Kyle who saved the world even in a desperate situation is still revered as a role model for all heroes even 2000 years later.

    A hero’s nickname is given by the gods.

    Kyle is literally the beginning of a new era recognized by the gods.

    That’s why every hero wants to be called Kyle’s successor.

    “I cannot admit it.”

    Thamus narrowed his eyes.

    “The hero of the beginning is the greatest noblest and strongest hero. “It makes no sense for you a former slave to be the successor to someone like that.”

    Rumern closed his eyes at those words.

    “Also even though you conquered the world of the hero of beginning you did not receive any rewards. Do you think you are a suitable successor to the hero of the beginning?”

    “I know better than anyone else that I am not suitable as the successor to the hero of the beginning.”

    Rumern calmly responded to Thamus’ words.

    “Because I couldn’t overcome my limits.”

    Rumern said looking down at his hands.

    “It’s nonsense to say that I who couldn’t overcome it and gave up am Kyle’s successor.”

    Even after conquering Kyle’s world Rumern did not receive any rewards.

    Rumern thought that he did not receive the reward for the attack because he was not suitable as Kyle’s successor.

    ‘I have admired and respected him since I was young. So I wanted to carry on his will.’

    But even though I got close to him I couldn’t reach him in the end.

    That was his limit.

    Friends did their part.

    Befitting the successors of great heroes he inherited the power of each great hero.

    ‘But I could not fulfill my role as I did not inherit Kyle’s power. So I almost drove my friends to death.’

    No matter how hard I stretch my hand I cannot reach Kyle.

    From the beginning the fundamentals were different.

    Kyle is all class and I am a magic swordsman.

    “You understand the topic well.”

    Thamus laughed at Rumern.

    “If I had been there to attack Kyle’s world instead of you… I would have definitely obtained Kyle’s power.”

    “No you wouldn’t have inherited Kyle’s power either.”

    “What?”

    “Isn’t it funny that you think you are Kyle’s successor just because I’m not his successor in the first place?”

    “How dare a lowly former slave speak nonsense in front of anyone?”

    “Rhodia waited for you until the end and believed you would come.”

    Rumern’s eyes turned cold.

    “It’s not just Rhodia. Seilun Azonia and Damian. “Now I am walking a completely different path but since you are a hero I had no doubt that you would come.”

    “You…”

    “Everyone in the world has been waiting for you.”

    Until the moment when the second coming of disaster ends.

    In the world the Knight of the Nether was evaluated as the strongest hero.

    His reputation was higher than that of the hero of Gaebyeok.

    Also many people said that he was a stronger hero than the hero of Gaebyeok.

    It is not just individual powerlessness.

    His power was so strong that it not only shook the hegemony of the continent but even threatened Tartarus.

    Even shadows that did not appear in the world as objects of fear and contempt appeared on the battlefield of Tartarus led by the Shan Empire.

    “Everyone joins forces to face the second coming of disaster. “Because everyone knew why we were pushed to the brink of extinction 2000 years ago.”

    The reason why the world was on the brink of destruction during the Age of Disaster.

    It was not simply a problem of the catastrophic entity called Erebos.

    The world which was further divided was helpless in the face of Tartarus’ advance.

    Even as the world was heading towards destruction the fight did not stop.

    After the era of disaster ended and a new era began.

    The world worked hard to prevent something like that from happening again.

    “There was division and conflict. Wars between ethnic groups and factions were constant. But I didn’t forget the past. “For the past 2000 years the world has raised its swords against each other and fought against evil whenever Tartarus stirs.”

    The conflict between the heroes of Gaebyeok and the knights of the Nether was a famous story.

    However I thought that we would join forces in the face of a global crisis.

    People had no doubt that the Nether Knight known as the strongest hero would raise his sword to destroy evil.

    But what came back was a betrayal of trust.

    People were deeply despairing.

    Meanwhile the heroes of Gaebyeok subdued the pieces of Erebos and saved the world.

    Take a moment to enjoy the joy.

    The people were angry towards the Nether Knight and his empire Tarim.

    Anger soon turned to ridicule.

    “Your sin is not simply neglecting the world’s crisis. “You have broken a bond that has lasted 2000 years.”

    Anger appeared on Rumern’s face.

    “With your own hands you have destroyed one of the greatest legacies that the great heroes passed on to us. On a subject like that would you dare claim to be Kyle’s successor?”

    “joy. “It’s a petty slave-like thought.”

    Thamus snorted.

    “In the end didn’t you defeat the Piece of Erebos? “I guess the fact that this greatest hero was dealt with by your hands even though he didn’t come forward wasn’t a big threat.”

    Thamus had an arrogant look on his face.

    “If you fall by the hands of this body people will soon realize. “The greatest hero is still this body.”

    Gooooooo-!

    A jet-black aura poured out from Thamus’ body.

    “The feats you guys have achieved are nothing special. If that happens… Rhodia. That bitch will know too! “Your choice was wrong!”

    Flash-!

    The eye light flashed.

    Spiritual power gushed out from his body.

    “Glorious heroic spirits who follow my will! Stand up! “Let this arrogant man who challenges my dignity know that heaven is high!”

    With the sound of Thamus’ roar subspace opened and the hero’s weapons poured out.

    Heroic spirits summoned from Mugu appeared.

    A legion of heroes that Thamus is proud of.

    Heroes who fell by their own hands or lost their lives on the battlefield while following them.

    Thamus made contracts with those heroes and served as a heroic spirit.

    A technique only known to be the strongest spiritualist in the 2000 years of history since the Age of Heroes.

    That was why he was called the strongest hero.

    However the heroic spirits did not move despite Thamus’ command.

    “Ruthless! “Why are you not following the commands of this body?”

    Thamus looked embarrassed.

    “I told you you betrayed the world’s trust.”

    Rumern pointed his sword at Thamus.

    “Did you think the heroic spirits would follow you like that?”

    Thamus’ face distorted at Rumern’s cold words.

    “You guys are the same. How dare you betray this body?”

    Woe!

    Thamus who sent the heroic spirits back curled the corners of his mouth.

    “It doesn’t matter. “The reason this body is called the strongest hero is not because of spiritualism.”

    Thamus lowered his posture and grabbed Nox.

    “What can you do alone? “Your feat is simply a feat achieved by relying on your past colleagues.”

    It was only five years ago that Lumern joined Rhodia.

    Thamus remembered the time he first met Rumern.

    Rumern clearly conquered the world of great heroes alone.

    However he was only a [Chief].

    If you think about the time Lumern was a weakling who did not even get the title of hero.

    Only 5 years.

    How much stronger would a weak person who couldn’t properly block his own blows become?

    Wow!

    Thamus charged towards Rumern.

    Squeak-!

    And then my vision turned over.

    “What?”

    Thamus let out a dazed sound.

    Thamus didn’t know.

    When all the heroes of the past have fallen.

    It was Rumern the Twilight Knight who did not give up until the end and cut off the head of the piece of Erebos.

    The fact that Lumern’s power had already overwhelmed Thamus a long time ago.

    And Rumeren’s swordsmanship.

    ‘…Hero of the Beginning… Kyle?’

    Thamus has never entered Kyle’s world.

    However I had met him in another world of great heroes.

    That’s why I was able to see at a glance that the trajectory of Lumern’s sword that I showed you a moment ago was the same as Kyle’s.

    I could see Lumern’s back from the flipped view.

    That figure somehow overlapped with Kyle.

    ‘You can’t believe you’re mocking this body with lies! ‘You inherited Kyle’s power!’

    Tamus’ eyes were bloodshot.

    ‘How was it possible to become so strong in such a short period of time?’

    Tamus was caught up in the questions lingering in his head.

    ‘I see! You’ve increased your strength not through your own strength but through Hero Record’s strategy rewards! This is unacceptable! ‘Fake hero!’

    Tamus who had reached his own conclusion poured out his hatred.

    ‘It’s all because of you! This body was betrayed by the heroic spirits! The reason Rhodia abandoned me! That’s why I couldn’t inherit the power of a great hero! He also failed to inherit Kyle’s power! It’s all because of you!’

    Consciousness is fading away.

    ‘If only you weren’t there! That position is mine…!’

    ***

    “Crazy guy.”

    “what?”

    “Why are you my successor? “I have never had an heir like you.”

    “You also think Rumern is your successor?! He was a lowly slave! “I am not a worthy successor to your great name!”

    Tamus shouted in an excited voice.

    “I am a noble person! “Tamus is a worthy successor…”

    “I never really thought of Lumern as my successor. What is important about being a successor? “Everyone who wants to save the world is following in our footsteps.”

    Leo said indifferently.

    “In that sense you are not even a hero let alone my successor.”

    “What?”

    Thamus’ body trembled with anger at Leo’s declaration.

    “Okay I understand. “You are not Kyle the hero from the beginning.”

    “A little while ago he called me Kyle.”

    “There is no way the hero of the beginning would not acknowledge me.”

    “He’s really crazy.”

    Leo who knew that he was someone he couldn’t communicate with but didn’t expect it to be to this extent just burst out laughing.

    A light flashed inside the hood.

    “I was recognized by God and rose to the status of a hero. “Why are people like you talking about my qualifications as a hero when I am recognized by God?”

    “If you say that I have nothing to say.”

    Leo curled the corners of his mouth.

    “But you’re not a hero.”

    “You’re so arrogant.”

    Death poured out from Tamus’ body.

    “You’re judging this body against a fake hero created with the power of Hero Records…!”

    The moment when Thamus becomes furious.

    His movements stopped.

    And soon my body began to tremble like an aspen tree.

    “This… this is ridiculous…!”

    Tamus looked at the message in front of him with a shocked face.

    [Hero qualification has been revoked.]
