1st place Guild's D-class Guild Leader Episode 20

 

 

 

 

 

It came a long way from the cave where the group was. I was getting out long enough to take a new stealth potion.

 

I'm a little worried about the kids I've left behind, but I had to see the face of the supposed "first monster killer." The figure's status window too.

 

It's worth coming so far, but since I've come this far, there are more and more people.

 

And they all talked about the same person.

 

Information flooded in from the noise around me.

 

First of all, the person I first met was the same person as the one I honored as "Him" and the "First Monster Slayer".

 

Second, there are about 50 characters in my field of view right now, all of whom are praising that character.

 

"Where's Aleon?"

 

"A man fell beneath the ground that the monster had dug up, so I went to save him."

 

"When are you coming? I'm afraid we're the only ones here....... If the monster comes again......."

 

What is it?

 

A large number of these different characters are waiting for him as if they believed that Aleon would protect them.

 

In a competitive field where kill points and rankings exist, a hero in a hero movie has been created.

 

As I watched them, I heard a violent rumbling of the ground beneath my feet.

 

"Arghh

 

"It's a monster again!"

 

The ground rose in the middle of the assembled characters. The characters on top of it tumbled down with the crumbling ground.

 

Everywhere in the place, unique abilities arose all at once, and colorful lights arose. At first glance, I saw Switch-type transforming animals.

 

Small, large intrinsic abilities were shot in quick succession, but few of the crowd's abilities were able to deal any effective blows.

 

At that moment, I had a lot of mixed concerns. For just 3 seconds.

 

Should I step up?

 

But I caught it the other day with the help of Gio and Canhar, and I can't catch it alone, right?

 

However, when he joins forces with the other characters to make Daguri, he seems to be reduced to a common character just like them.

 

My weapons aren't 'cooperation' and 'cohesion'.

 

But now that I'm just watching while the other characters are working together, I think the viewers watching me now will see me as a selfish character.

 

I'm not even a character who represents selfishness!

 

Did you get the character image wrong? Is it my greed to catch both 'strength breath' and 'compassion'?

 

While he was thinking about it, the monster opened its mouth to chew on the character.

 

I couldn't help but stretch out my hand and prepare the fire. I also need to release the stealth potion.

 

Shoot!

 

If it hadn't been for the sudden snarl of the tide from below, I would have opened fire.

 

I barely noticed my presence and the fire. He hadn't even lifted the stealth potion yet.

 

The sudden change of scenery sent me back into spectator mode.

 

A vast amount of clear water rushed up the monster's body as if of its own accord, and soon swallowed it completely.

 

!

 

In an instant, the water froze, and the monster froze in the opaque ice.

 

The monster twisted around in defiance, cracking the ice, but the more it did so, the more violently it clung to it.

 

If it moves, freeze it. The more it moves, the more it freezes cold with more water.

 

The intangible struggle continued until the monster's movements gradually subsided.

 

After waiting patiently, the monster stopped moving completely.

 

Soon after, a new model slowly approaches from the back of the monster, stretching out one hand upwards.

 

All the characters in this room, even my gaze, are all focused on him.

 

A person who is in the spotlight but is not perturbed at all, and whose blue eyes have a strange glow as if this is his fate.

 

Aleon clenched his outstretched fists.

 

As his fists tightened as the veins bulged out, so did the massive block of ice in front of him.

 

After a moment, it became clear that the monster had ceased to breathe inside.

 

Aleon's fists loosened, and the blades of his hands swept down the side.

 

Then the ice, more enormous than the crowd, sliced down like a knife.

 

The neck of a monster sat in the fallen ice.

 

Waaa

 

At the beginning of someone, the characters all shouted along.

 

The feeling of astonishment when a hideous monster that had to be feared all day long appeared and a figure who could easily subdue it with his own body, and in some cases, respect and adoration.

 

Everything melted into the roar.

 

Aleon was a character who specialized in just that.

 

"How did he show up today? Why haven't you seen it before?"

 

One of the crowd next to me asked if he had the same thoughts as me.

 

Then, the character next to him replied, as if he had become an Aleon.

 

"Aleon first appeared today. Because, he had been asleep in the ice the whole time. Then, when Winter and the monster appeared in this world, I woke up as a being who could stand against the monster."

 

Listening to it next to me, I couldn't hide my surprise in the stealth potion.

 

This is an exceptional setting, and instead of waking up on Day 1, the character is trapped in the ice deep in the field.

 

Being trapped in the ice is like being on the verge of death, and Aleon would have awakened the innate powers of pure nature in his sleep.

 

And only today did he wake up, reigning as a powerful man who could overwhelm the monsters as naturally as he breathed.

 

I wonder if there is a character with such a perfect narrative like the protagonist in the movie.

 

Just like me and the other characters are just extras.

 

My eyes were stunned by the clear blue of her hair and iris. Aleon's eyes were soft and cold.

 

He breathed a sigh of relief as the holy and inexorable being knocked down the monster with a dagger, confirming that no one was unharmed.

 

"No one was hurt?"

 

He grabbed the arms of each of the characters who were near the monster and checked them for himself.

 

Already, all the characters here were followers of Aleon.

 

Aleon is a holy saint.

 

Even the strongest ice abilities like the ruler of this winter.

 

The monster was so cold and hard-skinned that it wasn't easy for my fire to harm it.

 

But how great is the output of a man who used the same elemental pure nature ability to freeze that cold-blooded animal, chilling it until it was completely frozen?

 

At the moment, I can't even compare it to my own abilities.

 

I believe that even if the author is the current No. 1 in the rankings.

 

At that moment, my gaze met the saint's blue eyes.

 

Embarrassed, I stiffened.

 

It can't be. I've been drinking a stealth potion and hiding in this dense crowd.

 

Aleon looks at me exactly and approaches. It was a knightly and honest gait.

 

"'The First Trait Unlocker'?"

 

As Aleon walked, the characters split from side to side.

 

But Aleon was headed in an empty void, and there was a hint of bewilderment.

 

Oh dear.......

 

I soon hid my frustration in my heart.

 

I broke the stealth effect and emerged.

 

Aleon still had the same attitude whether I broke the cloaking or not, not flinching at all, but approaching faster.......

 

He grabbed my hands tightly.

 

"Nice to meet you. I'm the first monster slayer!"

 

It looks like a man halfway between a divine paladin and a benevolent lord, his face brightens as he speaks in a reverent tone.

 

Truly welcome me.

 

For what?

 

"I really wanted to see you."

 

Aleon's mysterious walls lit up.

 

The Ice Saint was not a perfect beauty like Canal, but she had a mysterious demonic quality in her demeanor and eyes.

 

Shemarin is like that, and so is this character.

 

Whoever stands above someone must have this much charisma.

 

I'm not like that.

 

"I've heard about you. I apologize if I offended you by my foreknowledge of you at the first meeting."

 

He apologized for mentioning something so useless, but he seemed to mean it. This saint was sincere in everything.

 

I don't know how to lie. This saint is so merciful and good.

 

"If you're the first Trait unlocker, you're going to have a lot of resourcefulness and courage. I've also heard that the fire of the unique ability is so strong and beautiful."

 

How did the character who woke up today get information about me?

 

Suddenly, I remembered the character who was spying on us in the forest when I was catching monsters with Gio and Canhar.

 

Maybe that character came here and told him.

 

Aleon thought I had been too intimate at first, and then he pulled his hand away from me, showing a hint of apology.

 

But his business wasn't just about pretending to know.

 

He looked like he was going to make me a suggestion.

 

"Won't you join me in guarding them?"

 

Look at it.

 

I soon realized that this wasn't just about being in the group, as it sounds.

 

Let's join in your noble will. Come under him. Surrender yourself to your beliefs.

 

In other words, it was a line spoken by a ruler to his henchmen.

 

Given that, like Aleon, I have people to protect, I'm completely pushed by him.

 

In other words, the king of one country asked the king of another country to be his prince.

 

Feeling a deep sense of embarrassment that something was wrong, I spoke.

 

"I refuse. I have to protect my people."

 

My quiet words startled Aleon and reverberated through the crowd surrounding me.

 

Whispers.

 

"Aleon is a great protector of us."

 

"He didn't want to, so he refused."

 

"It's selfish."

 

"Let's say he's 'my man,' two or three of them."

 

"You're going to try to feed yourself after all, right?"

 

What kind of irrational thing is that? Is it natural for me to protect them?
