A week has passed since the Dragon Lord's attack.

The Duke was surprised that Mary and Rudy were getting along well, but after a thorough investigation yielded no results, the matter was dropped.

I doubt anyone would believe that a baby could instantly kill a dragon lord.

Mary, of course, wouldn't be foolish enough to tell anyone.

Before we knew it, five years had passed.

Now five years old, Rudy can speak and walk normally, so he immediately used his status to run into the Duke's library and begin to explore information about this world.

The world he lived in was called the continent of Kamadia.

It is a world of swords and magic.

kindness.

There are heroes, and there are demon kings.

However, 500 years ago, the resurrected Demon King was killed by the Seven Heroes.

Furthermore, the Seven Heroes established the Hero Academy to train powerful warriors in order to deal with the Demon King's resurgence.

The Demon King cannot be completely killed.

Almost every so often, a new demon king will be resurrected. It is said that if the demon king is not defeated, all of humanity on the continent will be wiped out.

Upon seeing this, Rudy's lips twitched slightly.

I now possess the template of a demon king, so I guess I can be considered a demon king?

Does the Hero Academy have some kind of tool to detect the Demon King?

If so, then he felt it necessary to use the Thousand-Faced Demon King's abilities to sneak in and investigate.

In this life, he only wants to quietly grow stronger, then storm the God Realm and give that untrustworthy goddess a good beating.

If he were discovered to be a demon king and were to be hunted down by all of humanity, that would be extremely troublesome.

Let's get back to the main topic.

There are three countries on the continent of Cardia.

Besides the Kingdom of Asorent, there is also the Kingdom of Meltison, dominated by elves, and the Kingdom of Origo, dominated by orcs.

Each of these three empires has its own strongest warrior in charge.

Yes, the hero team that defeated the Demon King was summoned jointly by these three countries.

That's right. The first heroes were summoned through a summoning ritual. Now, some of the heroes are said to have returned to their original world, while others have stayed behind and have their own descendants.

Of course, none of this matters.

With the Demon King template, Rudy naturally fears no one, not even the hero, the Demon King's mortal enemy.

According to the information Rudy received.

Including him, all the children of nobles in the Kingdom of Asorent, and even commoners, had the opportunity to take a talent test at the Academy of Heroes when they were 6 years old.

The test results will determine Rudy's future; those with good talent can attend the Hero Academy, receive better guidance, and become stronger.

Most importantly, there are lots of girls at Brave Academy, making it the perfect place for boys and girls to celebrate their youth and find their other half.

Rudy was the third son of the Mers family. His mother was just a commoner maid who, apart from being somewhat attractive, had no magical talent and was naturally no match for her two older brothers.

If Rudy fails the talent test, he will be sent to fight in the kingdom's army as a member of the family.

Over the past five years, Rudy has completely embodied the Gluttony Demon King archetype.

His total magical power also reached an incredibly terrifying number.

The specific value is not displayed on the system interface, but it is constantly increasing anyway.

Rudy has only unlocked 30% of the Destroyer King template, and his abilities are roughly the same as the red beam that killed the dragon.

That's called the Light of Destruction, capable of destroying any object or creature that comes into contact with it.

Even the soul can be destroyed.

Over the past 5 years.

Rudy is also trying to learn the magic of this world.

This world has six types of magic: wind, fire, water, earth, light, and darkness. Among them, spatial magic is a special type of magic.

The most common elements are wind, fire, water, and earth.

Light and dark attributes are possessed only by heroes or their descendants.

Merry is of the water element.

In this world, the only profession is that of a Divine Seal Envoy; heroes are an exception.

In addition to magic of various attributes, there are other enhancement magic and magic with special effects.

But this is magic that can only be learned at the Academy of Heroes.

As for the division of strength, it is as follows.

Those who pass the tests at the Academy of Heroes will have special magical marks generated based on their talents.

Magic marks are divided into Special, Superior, Medium, and Inferior.

Among them, the highest level of special mark talent is the highest among ordinary people.

Meli is a holder of a lower-level divine seal, and she can use low-level water-attribute magic.

As for the legendary Seven Heroes, they all possess the most special, god-level marks.

It is said that this is a mark bestowed by the gods, and therefore it is not included in the division of power on the continent.

In short, the mark of a hero is the mark of the highest talent.

However, don't underestimate the marks left by other people.

According to the Academy of Heroes, the level of the mark on one's hand can be increased through training.

It is said that many years ago, there was a special-grade divine mark user who elevated his mark to the level of a divine mark. He was the swordsman among the Seven Heroes.

It was only with the Holy Sword of the Sword Hero that they were able to defeat the Demon King.

...

Holding a copy of the Continental Miscellany, Rudy walked through a luxuriously carpeted corridor while reading the book.

He found the concept of a Divine Seal Envoy quite interesting.

However, according to the book, one cannot use magic without undergoing a talent test.

After all, there was no divine seal back then.
