Chapter 492: The Kingdom’s Heroes, Subjugate the Wyverns?

[A/N: We are just a few more golden tickets away from reaching another milestone!!]

"We will subjugate the wyverns!!"

Tsukahara raises his fist high and declares.

"Agree!! Let’s defeat the wyverns and show that we are No. 1 in the Mainz Kingdom!"

"That’s right! We won’t lose to a guy like that!!"

The three sang out loudly.

Subjugating the wyverns means advancing further ahead, and the attendant who thought the return would become late,

"Hero-sama and the others, it is a very brave thought, but considering the return path would it not be better to turn back already today? If you come here again tomorrow, there is also a possibility of meeting wyverns."

Tried admonishing. However those words poured oil on the Heroes’ burning hearts.

"What are you saying! They might be gone by tomorrow! Then let’s subjugate them here and now!"

The worked-up Tsukahara says to the attendant spitting foam from his mouth. Noshima also,

"Everyone was saying earlier that wyverns are a threat to humanity, right? If we subjugate them here the danger level will decrease for developing around here from now on! By all means let’s defeat them here!"

Says strongly. Abe also,

"That’s right! Things like that are the same as hawks and can be defeated easily! If the three of us are here we are invincible! Please leave it to us!"

Emphasizes.

If said that far the attendant also has no choice but to obey.

"Understood. Then I will leave it to you."

He had no choice but to say that.

"Alright! Then let’s do it!! The plan is the same as what we did with the hawk, right?"

If Abe asks Tsukahara also,

"Yeah! It’s fine!!"

Says.

"But the hawk was one bird, but there are four wyverns. If we defeat one, and after that the others attack what do we do?"

Noshima asks.

"At that time, I’ll kill them with the sword while falling. Occasionally hit wind magic to kill the fall speed. I’m already used to that timing, and somehow I understand the timing that comes flying."

Tsukahara says with a smile like leave it to me!

"As expected of Kotaro! Already invincible! There’s nothing scary at all!"

When Abe flatters, Tsukahara and Noshima also laugh.

"Alright, then let’s start!"

The wyverns are flying drawing circles above their heads. It looks like they have lowered altitude somewhat compared to when seen earlier. Only one lowered altitude further. It feels like it is facing down and looking at Tsukahara and the others.

"That guy, isn’t it looking at us? Surely it’s aiming thinking to eat us."

"It’s an idiot. Flying leisurely without knowing it’s about to be killed by me now."

If Abe says Tsukahara answers.

"Now, Kotaro! Ride on top of me. I’ll throw!"

"Yeah!! I’m counting on you!!"

Tsukahara rides on Abe’s hand. Abe accumulates strength. He concentrates mana in his arms and heightens muscular strength. He aims toward the wyvern.

"Eiiiiiiii!!"

He threw Tsukahara up like a shot put. Matching that Noshima,

"Go————!! Wind, blowwwww————!!"

Emits wind magic.

Since they have done it many times already he boosted Tsukahara without mistaking the timing. Tsukahara flies straight toward the wyvern.

At that time, light was released from a place a little separated from the Heroes. That light rises far faster than Tsukahara’s ascent speed and advances aiming at Tsukahara who is readying a bow and arrow toward the wyvern. Tsukahara who is concentrating on the wyvern of course does not notice the light.

However it was visible to those on the ground.

"What is that?"

When Noshima raised a stupid voice, light rose from the ground again. That also flies toward Tsukahara.

"Ah, it’ll hit! It’ll hit!?"

"Dodge! Kotaro!"

Abe and Noshima shouted with all their strength, but whether it reached Tsukahara’s ears? The first light hits Tsukahara’s body and pushes the body up with a gyuun. Tsukahara’s body bends into a dogleg shape and flies. There the second light hits, and a large hole opened in the abdomen. That could be confirmed even from the ground. Pieces of flesh and blood scattered from Tsukahara’s body and spread like fireworks.

Furthermore the third light hits Tsukahara. Tsukahara’s body splits into two. The bow and arrow separate from Tsukahara’s hand and dance in the air.

""Kotaro!!!!""

""""Hero-samaaaaa————!!""""

Everyone on the ground raised screams. The Hero who boasted invincibility died extremely easily.

"Yunosuke! Wasn’t Hero correction applied to Kotaro! The defense is perfect, and he’s protected no matter what happens, isn’t he!"

Abe grabs Noshima’s shoulders and shakes the body roughly.

"That’s right. The defense was 3 with Hero correction 5 for 8! So he had more defense than me or Makoto. What is an attack power that breaks that?"

Noshima says while shaking his head. At that time, one of the knights mutters.

"Perhaps it is the Empire’s Hero’s attack?"

Abe who heard that,

"Is there such a thing!? The Empire’s Heroes are the same kind of thing!"

Yells at the knight who said it. However Noshima,

"If the Empire’s Heroes have high base ability, they might break Kotaro’s defense. More than that, let’s go to the place Kotaro fell!"

"That’s right! Quickly, over there!"

Noshima releases hellfire toward the direction Abe pointed. After the flames disappeared a burned straight space was born to the point one thinks there were trees.

"Makoto, detect! Search for Kotaro!"

"Understood! I’ll search with all my strength!!"

Noshima releases hellfire in succession and advances forward. Above their heads the wyverns are flying drawing circles. Abe and Noshima no longer have the leisure to care.

"This way!"

"Roger!"

Noshima releases hellfire in the direction Abe indicates. And finally, in a burned circle of about 20 feet in diameter was Tsukahara’s upper body. There is nothing from the abdomen down, and the abdomen and chest are burned and festering.

"Ugh!!"

There are also those who vomit at the excessive severity.

""Kotaro!""

Noshima and Abe run to Tsukahara. They shake the body but he is already dead.

"Kotaro! Kotaro! Kotaro!"

Abe while crying shakes Tsukahara’s upper body, but of course there is no reaction.

"Umm ’Healing’?"

Noshima casts the vaguely remembered "Healing" magic. As is natural there is no effect.

"Can resuscitation be done? If there is no lower body can it not be done? What should we do to revive?"

He mutters. Tears are running down his cheeks, but Noshima does not care at all.

At that time, a voice was called.

"Are you guys the Mainz Kingdom’s Heroes?"
