I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Unlike Alice, who inherited the blood and weapons of a hero, Levi is just an ordinary person, and a boy who does nothing but gambling and having fun all day long.

If you were hit by that huge rock, there would be no other result except death on the spot.

Controlled by fear, he was so frightened that he could not move and could only watch the huge rock fall towards him.

Just then... crimson flames filled his vision.

The boulder was split in two.

The monster was burned to ashes.

Levi slumped on the ground, staring blankly. The bright red skirt and bright golden hair, illuminated by the fire, easily occupied his entire mind.

When she turned around, Levi's eyes met those emerald eyes that seemed to reflect the entire starry sky.

A heroic girl holding a long sword... Levi seemed to see in her the image of all the heroes he had ever admired.

The firelight made Levi's face red.

Different emotions began to brew in his chest.

Although Nero didn't have a good impression of Levi, he didn't have any bad feelings towards him either.

At most, Levi was just playful. Children of his age are playful at this time. It's nothing. He didn't do anything illegal and he didn't have any bad intentions. If we really want to investigate... the ones who are wrong should be Raggleaf who bewitched him and King Elrod who handed over the power to him.

At least in Nero's opinion, this Levi is much more pleasing to the eye than the naughty kid who broke her toys and scribbled on her comic books.

Of course, if you insist on comparing her with Alice, then there's nothing much to say about Nero.

You have to throw it away when comparing things.

If the target was Levi, Nero couldn't just stand by and watch him die.

"Can you still move?"

"This one……"

Nero wasn't surprised to see Levi's embarrassed expression.

"Sorry, I might be a little too busy..."

Before he could finish his words, Nero raised his non-sword-holding hand, steadily caught the attack of a black bear with his arm, and then slashed with his sword, easily killing the opponent. The sword energy formed by the gathering of flames cut through the earth, killing all the monsters along the way.

Afterwards, Nero used his legs to jump into the air, kicked the upper body of a giant wasp monster that was trying to attack Levi into pieces, turned around and stabbed a scorpion monster's head with a sword.

After landing, Nero turned to look at Kazuma and the others.

“Hey! Darkness! Take Prince Elrod over… or I’ll be a little uncomfortable letting go!”

Seeing eight more monsters rushing towards him, Nero's eyes fixed and his figure suddenly became blurred.

The next moment, Nero transformed into eight swift shadows and shot out.

The naked eye could not see what happened at all. The heads of the eight monsters flew off, and their lives quickly drained away along with their blood.

Before Nero could catch his breath, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook again.

Then, a monster that looked a bit like a mouse suddenly emerged from the ground.

However, just as the rat monster half showed its body, a golden combat boot suddenly stepped on its head.

In an instant, with Nero's feet as the center, the ground collapsed into pieces, and spider-web-like dense cracks instantly covered the surroundings.

This lecherous rat actually wants to look under my skirt? He's courting death!

Nero was still thinking of stepping on it a few more times to vent his anger, but his [intuition] suddenly gave him a warning.

Muscle memory controlled the body to make a blocking posture, and the next moment after he took the posture, a huge bear paw slammed heavily on the sword that Nero held up. The pouring force made Nero feel like he was hit by a truck.

His feet sank deeply into the ground, leaving two long tracks.

In front of Nero was the Chimera.

"You're truly worthy of being the hero who defeated several of the Demon King's army leaders and is even considered by many to be the one who will successfully defeat the Demon King in the future. You and your team's tenacity far exceeded my expectations, Nero."

Standing on the back of the Chimera, Ragcliff looked down at Nero, which made Nero quite unhappy.

"I originally thought that after defeating the golden dragon, you would be easier to deal with in your weakened state. I didn't expect that even if I sent out all the monsters, I still couldn't defeat you."

As he spoke, Ragcliff glanced at Youyou and the others, but quickly looked away.

Because he knew that the strongest and most feared person here was Nero.

"But! That's it! This Chimera of mine will kill you! And your head will become my achievement, making me the new leader of the Demon King's Army!"

Hearing this, Nero grasped the sword with both hands, with the tip of the sword pointing diagonally to the ground, and a fiery snake spewing fire wrapped around the blade.

In the firelight, Nero grinned.

"If this is what you rely on, then let me tell you how ridiculous your confidence is!"

"I've killed a lot of chimeras. Even their claws are piled up like a mountain in my warehouse!"

Chapter 349 What to do if someone proposes? Waiting online, it's urgent

Before the battle began, Nero glanced at it out of the corner of his eye.

Well... Levi has been rescued by Darkness. Everyone has gathered together, and with the help of Alice and Yunyun, there seems to be nothing to worry about.

Suddenly... the whistling sound of the wind was getting closer.

The huge bear paw slapped towards Nero, but only captured Nero's afterimage.

The golden boots rubbed against the ground. Nero, who had already flashed behind Chimera, held the sword in both hands and prepared to swing it, when he saw a dark green whip shadow coming towards him.

"when!"

The scaly snake tail collided with Nero's raised sword, making a sound like the sound of a bell.

Nero slid his left foot back to stop his backward movement, raised his sword, and then, with the force of splitting Mount Hua, cut off the Chimera's tail.

At this moment, a sheep's head suddenly appeared in front of Nero. The other party opened its mouth and sprayed purple mist from its mouth.

This thing looks poisonous no matter how you look at it!

Nero frowned and pulled away.

Although she knew that she could use the [Strong] skill to resist poison gas, a certain great hero could even rely on the [Strong] skill to withstand the poison of Quiet Hassan.

However, Nero, who was obsessed with mysophobia, was really unwilling to come into contact with the mist coming out of the other person's mouth.

She had a better idea.

He held the greatsword in front of him, and the fierce wind transformed from magic power was compressed and surrounded the sword.

【Magic power released】!

When Nero swung his sword, the violent wind carried the poison, leaving bloody wounds on Chimera's body.

At this moment, the Chimera's lion head opened its bloody mouth, ready to swallow Nero whole.

Seeing this, Nero's eyes did not change at all, still as calm as a lake.

At the moment when the lion head was about to bite him, Nero fiercely punched out with his fist covered in armament color.

"boom!"

The compressed air exploded with a loud bang.

The huge lion's head was deformed by the blow, and the broken fangs flew out.

After landing, Nero took a step forward, and the sword in his hand swept through the air. The silver-white sword light was like a crescent moon hanging high in the night sky.

The sword light disappeared, and the two heads of Chimera fell to the ground with a bang.

"This……"

Ragcliff, with a face full of shock, looked at the dead Chimera. His jaw kept shaking after witnessing the whole process.

"How can this be!"

Ignoring Ragcliffe who was unable to accept the reality, Nero turned to look at Kazuma and the others.

The monsters over there have been almost dealt with.

What brought Ragcliff back to his senses was the sound of approaching footsteps.

Looking up, he saw Nero, and Yunyun, Levi, Aqua and others following behind her. They all looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

Aqua, in particular, was imitating a boxer, swinging her jabs with "Swish!" "Swish!"

In the end, forced to accept reality, Ragcliff lost his spirit like a deflated ball and chose to surrender.

At this point, Elrod's commotion came to an end.

Nero and others also gained reputation in Elrod.

His achievements in exposing the Prime Minister's spy identity, resolving the monster disturbance in the city, and defeating the dragon that occupied the gold mine were known to the people of Elrod.

Incidentally, the commission for subduing the dragon is one billion eris.

It was more than three times the commission for subduing the Demon King's army generals.

Afterwards, Nero and others were summoned by Elrod again.

Levi, along with many of his retainers, failed to recognize the Prime Minister's true identity, listened to slander, and concluded an agreement with the Demon King's army, thus destroying the friendship between the two countries. He sincerely apologized to several people.

Afterwards, in addition to the 1 billion Eris used to subdue the dragon and the money Kazuma won in the casino, Elrod also made up for the support funds that had not been provided.

Everyone was very happy about this, after all, this was their main purpose of coming to Elrod.

The happiest person among them was Aqua.

"Great! With so much money, not only can I exchange all the money I owe, but I can also buy endless amounts of bubbly!"

Hearing Aqua's speech that seemed to indicate she didn't understand the situation, Nero took action without saying a word and grabbed Aqua's head with the Greedy Wolf Grip.

"This is the money the Kingdom needs to fight the Demon King's army. How could I possibly give it to you?"

"What does it matter? I have so much money anyway, so what if I give me some...Aaaaaaaaaa! It hurts! It hurts! It's going to break apart!"

After dealing with the idiot Aqua, Nero looked at Levi again.

"Oh, by the way, I have one more thing I want to ask Prince Levi."

“呜欸？！”

Woo huh?

Nero looked at Levi and tilted his head in confusion.

Levi noticed that Nero was looking at him, his cheeks quickly turned red, and his eyes became evasive.

What's going on? Prince Elrod has been acting strangely today.

Ever since he was summoned, Nero felt that the other party's gaze would always inadvertently stray to him, but when he looked over, he would look away in panic.

Knowing what Nero was concerned about, Alice took the initiative to speak up, "Um... Prince Levi, regarding our engagement... it should have been cancelled, right?"

"Hmm? Ahem! Yes, that's right... This was already decided in advance."

When Alice spoke, Levi immediately returned to normal, though his face was still a little red. "I admit that I was a little rash when I made such a statement, and I am very sorry for it... But that is indeed my true intention, even now, I still intend to do so."

After last night, Prince Levi has grown up. He can still learn the skills he lacks, but at least he has the responsibility.

"Really? That's great."

With her right hand covering her chest, Alice also showed a relaxed expression.

Seeing this, Nero also smiled slightly.

The last goal of coming to Elrod was also perfectly achieved.

On the throne, Levi's eyes suddenly widened.

Looking at the smile that bloomed like a flower, he was actually a little dazed.

"……that!"

Levi's voice echoed in the palace, causing everyone to look over subconsciously.

Levi lowered his head shyly, rubbing his hands nervously at his trouser legs. His overheated brain made thinking difficult.

"I...I would like to ask...Miss Nero..."

"Do you have someone you like?"
