Installation complete.

That's ridiculous…

Fei?

Jeez…

Sorry about that.

It's been a month since you quit school, hasn't it?

Yes, you're right.

People still don't know about your brother.

Your brothers dealt a heavy blow to the Demons,

so I doubt they can do anything for a while.

Hyrince is returning soon, right?

He's the only survivor from the Hero's party.

What happened to your brother, and who the opponent was…

I'm sure he'll tell you.

Since you'll have to fight against those Demons as the Hero.

"Hero," really?

What's wrong?

I feel uneasy taking over Julius's position.

Unlike before, I can no longer be in battles with Sue or Katia.

But Yuri's the Saint, so she might be with me.

Hey.

Form a contract with me.

What?

What do you mean?

Isn't it convenient if you can summon me anytime?

But I want to be on an equal footing with you.

Besides, after signing the contract, I can give you forced orders as well.

Are you fine with that?

You won't do that unless it's an emergency, right?

That's right, I guess…

When you're in danger, you can summon me immediately.

Doesn't that make you feel less uneasy?

Thank you.

Anyway, how are we supposed to form a contract?

Fei, put out your hand.

Like this?

Okay, the contract is now formed.

That's it?

Turns out it can be done so easily.

It's easy to form a contract, but it's hard to rescind it.

Oh, is that so--

Fei?

What's this?

Fei?

EVOLUTION IN PROGRESS

"Evolution"?

I feel so annoyed.

The reason behind that is…

TABOO LEVEL 10

Taboo…

I guess this really is taboo to those living in this world.

If they know this information…

The moment Taboo reached level 10, an enormous amount of information

was transmitted into my head.

The origin of this world.

Things that happened in the past.

The secrets behind skills and ability stats.

To be honest, my brain can't process all the information.

Information Brain is processing and interpreting this knowledge slowly.

But there's one thing I know for sure.

It's that…

at this rate, the world I'm living in now will be destroyed.

Now that I know this, I can't just sit by and do nothing!

I must do something!

That's right!

I'm not going to perish with this world!

I don't like that I can't eat tasty food anymore!

In the meantime, I'll have to improve my skills and get stronger.

Even if we get stronger, will that stop the world from being destroyed?

Even the administrators can't do anything about this.

PHYSICAL

I don't know.

But all we can do now is to get stronger.

That's all we can do.

Otherwise, we can't even do anything if things go bad!

Indeed.

If we want to defeat enemies in this world, we must be strong.

Hence the next one we must defeat is…

the Earth Dragon Araba!

Don't be afraid!

You want to challenge that monster? Are you insane?

-That's right! -That's right!

You fools!

What are you doing?

You think I'm fighting it because I want to?

What do you mean?

How long were you guys planning to ignore it?

Don't you want to overcome your trauma?

I mean, of course, we'd want to!

But it's called trauma because it's hard to overcome!

-Right? -I agree.

All right. Listen up, clones.

If we can't even overcome our trauma,

there's no way we can save this world from its crisis!

Seems like you guys finally understand.

Then there's only one thing we should do.

We'll defeat Araba!

-You got it! -You got it!

Now that it's decided, it's time to scout the enemy!

-Okay… -Okay…

Don't chicken out now!

Let's go!

Here I am, Lower Stratum!

What's this?

It's not Araba.

It's humongous!

And it's not just its stats. Look at all those skills!

I'll definitely die if I go up against that thing.

Please forgive me.

There are other unimaginable monsters living in the Lower Stratum.

Maybe we should postpone scouting out Araba.

What in the world was that?

It came from where the snake left…

TELESCOPIC SIGHT

Heavy Magic?

It was no longer just a battle.

The powerful snake was brutally ravaged

by an even more deadly dragon.

In the face of such overwhelming brutality,

all I could think was that it looked so beautiful.

Now I'm admiring the strength of that dragon.

There stands the existence I have to surpass.

The Earth Dragon Araba.

It appears that I've kept you waiting.

Not at all. It's been a while, Hyrince.

Shun, I'm sorry!

To be honest, Julius should have survived instead of me.

What do you mean?

That's…

This is the Phoenix Feather.

It allows the user to escape death once.

Originally, Julius was supposed to have this item.

However, he said that I should have it since I'm the tank.

That's why he gave it to me.

That means…

I was only able to survive because of that item.

He should have been the one to survive instead.

You don't have to apologize, Hyrince.

Julius insisted that you take it, right?

He probably said something like, "I won't die, so I don't need that."

No wonder you're his brother.

Please tell me what happened before Julius died.

Right when Julius defeated the enemy's general

and persuaded them to surrender,

someone appeared.

White…

It was a girl completely dressed in white.

That's all I could remember.

When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying on the floor.

Judging from the situation, I hadn't fainted for too long.

But everything ended in that instant.

Is this Julius's scarf?

Only one thing came to mind when I saw that.

It's a Rot Attack.

Rot Attack?

That's right.

It has a destructive attribute that is extremely fatal.

Upon contact, their body turns into ash and they die.

No way…

Sorry.

That was the only thing I could bring back.

No. Thank you very much.

Hello, nice to meet you.

I'm your brother, Julius.

I may not look the part, but I am a Hero.

Schlain. Is it true that your girlfriend's from the Duke's family?

I heard that you two even have nicknames for each other.

May I call you Shun as well?

The Hero is the hope for all Humans.

That's why I will not lose.

Never.

It's important to move towards our goal.

A peaceful world where everyone can smile.

This is the dream I'm pursuing.

Until death stops me.

I can't be an excellent Hero like Julius.

However, I want to carry on his dream!

Shun. No, Hero Schlain.

While I failed to protect Julius, let me protect you!

Thank you. Please guide me.

I'm probably just an impure Hero only capable of imitating Julius.

But that's okay.

That is my determination as a Hero!

I want to level up!

I can't defeat Araba in my current condition.

I have to increase my levels and come up with a strategy!

Annihilating Evil Eye!

I expected this, but Annihilating Evil Eye is a self-destructive attack!

I obtained Destruction Evil Eye

from learning Rot Attack during my evolution.

I guess I can't use it carelessly.

But it can be my trump card during emergencies.

Let's use Healing Magic.

All right, let's continue to increase my level.

EARTH DRAGON GEHRE, LEVEL 24 EARTH DRAGON KAGNA, LEVEL 26

What? Earth Dragon? And two of them?

No way I'm doing this! I'm retreating!

Earth dragons are scary.

But I left marks on them.

As long as I've made markings, I'll know their whereabouts.

I can even cast Appraisal on them.

Those humans that I marked previously…

They're probably trying to leave the labyrinth.

If I chase after them, I'll be able to find the exit too.

But in any case, that'll come after I defeat Araba!

As long as I've marked it,

I can attack it when it least expects it!

ARABA'S BEDROOM

Prepare yourself!

Obviously, it's impossible to defeat it with a wake-up prank like that.

But since I can't defeat it the proper way,

I just have to come up with improper ways to do so.

Now then, my only purpose coming here

is to massacre these bees flying around,

who think they own this place.

That's because…

I'm going to fight Araba here, so these guys are in the way!

When fighting Araba, it's too risky to be on the ground.

In narrow caves,

Earth Magic is extremely useful for offense and defense.

If I decide to stay on the ground, I have to be responsible for the risks.

What's the only other way?

That's right, I just have to stay airborne!

The earthen spears should not reach me while I'm off the ground.

Even if it does, I will have time to escape easily

since there's a time gap!

I can also avoid its breath by paying attention

to its movement right before it attacks!

But that's only possible if those bees don't get in my way.

Now then, let's start getting rid of them…

It hurts!

Taratect-style One Arm Shoulder Throw!

What a scary fellow.

It was able to catch me unaware even though I had Detection activated.

If it were the old me, I would have been dead.

But now, this is nothing.

It hurts!

Taratect-style Rolling Fire!

Are these guys not detected because they're deemed to be of no threat?

I guessed as much.

They're food at most.

But in any case, they're such a pain in the ass so I should hurry--

It hurts!

That's enough already!

Fine! Since you're doing this to me…

It's time to exterminate you!

Activate Spatial Maneuvering!

One more!

You have attained sufficient skill proficiency.

The skill "Wind Magic" has increased to level 3.

The skill "Earth Magic" has increased to level 2.

Two of my magic skills leveled up!

There's no end to this.

If that's the case…

Black Bullet!

Time to review magic!

-Okay! -Okay!

The strongest magic I possess is Abyss Magic.

But it's slow to cast this magic, and the rune construction takes time.

Against the speedy Araba, we'll have no time to use it.

-Right. -Right.

Next up is the Wind Magic and Water Magic I copied.

With Wisdom and Height of Occultism,

it's a piece of cake to copy an opponent's killer move!

-Amazing! -Amazing!

And I obtained Earth Magic after meeting Araba.

But my skill level is too low, so it's useless against Araba.

-Seriously? -Seriously?

And now we have the Dark Magic we learned just a while back!

Unlike other types of magic that are learned on the spot,

this magic can only be leveled up slowly after obtaining Height of Occultism!

Although this started as a strange skill that lets me control shadows,

it became so powerful after the skill evolved!

In the battle against Araba, we will use Black Magic mainly.

In addition, we'll also use Spatial and Heretic Magic, I guess.

That's all for today's class.

-Thank you very much! -Thank you very much!

Look! The bees are falling like trash!

This looks like a new type of bee.

A creature with a higher rank than the High Finjicote.

It's an after-image.

Just kidding!

A bee swarm? That means…

Is that the beehive? It's huge!

Sorry to bother you while you guys are busy protecting it,

but I'll be destroying it in one go since it's too troublesome!

Take this!

Black Spear!

You have accumulated sufficient experience points.

Safe landing.

It's finally over.

I thought I'd be able to find honey, but there's none.

Useless.

All right. Let's go create a battlefield to fight against Araba.

Okay, everything's all ready.

I also learned new skills using the skill points I had left.

I wonder how effective this is.

I've done everything I can.

Is it here?

I'm glad.

The fear I felt then was right.

You're very strong.

I'm very afraid.

Yet, I'm very happy.

Since your Appraisal level is high, you should have noticed that I survived.

You noticed it, but you thought I was just an insignificant mob,

so you'll let me go, right?

I will make you regret your arrogance!

EDE SAINE, LEVEL 26 NAMELESS

STAY TUNED!
