Fengyan City.
The defeated heroes returned to the city dejectedly.
"Damn it... What's wrong with that guy?! Why can't I beat him?!"
Russell pounded the wall to vent his anger.
"It looks like you're not doing well."
A voice came from the front.
The heroes all raised their heads and saw Filven walking towards them.
"Mr. Philuwen?"
"terribly sorry... ..."
Analond said apologetically.
"We failed, and Ebony City was lost."
"...I already know."
Filven replied calmly, his face showing no sign of surprise at their failure.
"Do you know where you failed?"
"Of course it's because I'm not strong enough!"
Russell replied immediately.
"If I could reach my peak strength... this guy wouldn't be my match."
"No, that's not the most important reason."
Arthur shook his head.
"Oh? What do you think it is, Arthur?"
"I think it's mainly because the level of coordination among us heroes is too low."
"It's not just that..." Analond continued.
"Our prior intelligence preparations were also seriously inadequate, and we lacked sufficient vigilance against the enemy. When we were attacked, we were unable to mount an adequate response."
"... ...good."
Feiluwen nodded silently.
"You have already recognized your own shortcomings, so there is no need for me to explain further. We can get straight to the point."
"Um?"
The heroes looked at Filven in confusion.
"Mr. Filwin, what do you mean by this...?"
Feiluwen slowly extended a finger.
"I came to you for only one purpose—"
"Starting today, the six of you will undergo special training as heroes."
... ...
"roar!"
“Roar…”
A huge black army of monsters kept moving through the mountains and forests, approaching a hill.
"It's that mountain ahead! Lord Goruzan, we're here!"
A high-ranking demon reported earnestly.
Goruzan raised his head and looked at the towering mountain in his sight.
"... Is the troublesome thing blocking us in there? Pass the order--"
"Capture that place! Destroy everything in that mountain!"
"yes!!"
at the same time.
The summit of Dorothy Hill.
Several figures stood here side by side.
"... ...They really came here." Laqi said to herself.
He turned and looked at the other three people.
"How? Leave them all here?"
"Hmm...how should I do it~?" Irus looked troubled.
"I don't care." Vlamir said anything was fine.
"No... In my opinion, we should give this place to them."
"ha?!"
Laqi looked surprised.
"Esmeron, what are you planning? Let them go. We can handle these guys now, right?"
"I don't have any special intentions, I just feel..."
"It's better for the heroes to defeat the one who makes them taste the bitterness of defeat."
"What's more, the enemy commander hasn't returned yet. If we defeat all of his subordinates again, I'm afraid the truly powerful enemy will return immediately, right?"
"I see... ..."
Laqi frowned.
"You're right. We still need to give the heroes some time to grow enough to defeat the Heavenly King-level demons..."
After saying that, Laqi slowly raised his head and glanced at the large black shadows that were coming from the distance.
"But it's a bit unpleasant to just retreat like this."
"Please wait a moment," Vlamir suddenly said. "Sir Esmeron...if we just leave like this, what will happen to the supermagnetic device underground? Should we abandon it altogether?"
"Don't worry, I've made arrangements." Esmeron replied calmly.
"I'll keep that thing well hidden."
As he spoke, Esmeron slowly raised the wand in his hand.
Behind him, flames, water, storms, and broken rocks emerged, forming a ring.
The ring spun faster and faster, making a continuous roaring sound.
Boom, boom, boom...
"I need some time, please help me delay for a while."
Boom.
After a low roar.
Esmeron disappeared underground.
"This stinky old man is even stronger than the last time I saw him..."
That was shortly after Hulim and the others met Esmeron and Ika.
"Hey, Irus..."
"What~?"
"Is Esmeron strong?"
“…” Irus was silent for a while.
"Hmm... well, do you know how many magical aptitudes the person with the most magical aptitudes in the world before you had?"
"Aren't there just four?"
"It's four... uh, you know?! Then, do you know who that person is?"
"I don't know... Hmm? Could it be that—"
"Yes, that person is the stinky old man over there!"
