Chapter 100: April Fools Extra: The story of the False World
Translator: Tseirp
This story is not possible in neither parallel universes nor any possible universes, it is just a fake story that exists . Even if it repeats a million times, as long as Ruti remains as Ruti and Gideon remains as Gideon, this story will remain as just fiction .
Led by the Demon Lord of Fury, Satan, who controls the Dark Continent, the invasion of the Avalon Continent began three years ago .
In just three years, four countries have been annihilated and half of the continent had fallen into the hands of the Demon Lord .
Humanity was at a loss for what to do … but, God did not abandon humanity .
There was a prophecy of the birth of a Hero .
Then, there was a girl who repelled a vanguard team of the Demon Lord Army by taking command of local forces in a place where there was close to no defensive strength .
Hero Ruti‧Lugnason appeared in the Imperial Capital, possessing the 『Divine Protection of the Hero』, proof that everyone understood .
She annihilated the underground thieves who were making trouble in the Imperial Capital and now, she left for the Ancient-Elf ruins to obtain the ‘Hero’s Proof’, a famed legacy of the previous generation hero mentioned in legends .
Ancient-Elf ruins .
Although it was located in the vicinity of the Imperial Capital Avalonia, its doors were firmly shut by unknown magic so nobody had ever set foot inside that ruins .
Written on the door in Ancient-Elf language was ‘When the Demon Lord appears, a hero will appear as well . I only wish for a hero and can only bestow power to the hero . ’ .
Then, when Hero Ruti reached the doors to the ruins, the door that nobody could pass through for hundreds of years opened .
The huge Clockwork Knight over three meters tall raised its ancient sword and shield and came attacking with thunderous footsteps .
“Everyone! Be careful!”
Standing at the forefront, Hero Ruti (Hero Lv16) shouted and readied her sword .
Sage Ares (Sage Lv14), Prince of Avalonia Kifa (Weapon Master Lv14), High-Elf Florist Yarandorara (Tree Singer Lv12), and Frontier Adventurer Gideon (Guide Lv32) .
The hero companions stood united as they faced the Clockwork Knight .
“Martial Art! Continuous Sword!”
Ruti sent in two quick rounds of attacks .
“Fireball!”
Ares made a seal and caused an explosion of fire to break out .
“Martial Art! Continuous Sword!”
Kifa added in two quick rounds of attacks .
“Leaf Cutter!”
Yarandorara made a seal and tree leaves became knives and attacked her opponent .
“Fight!”
Gideon attacked the opponent with his sword .
After a fierce battle, the Clockwork Knight fell to its knees and stopped moving .
“It’s a problem that our Divine Protection levels are not going up after defeating a Clockwork Knight . ”
“It is not alive so it can’t be helped . ”
Ares and Kifa looked at the Clockwork and complained .
“But it acts as a source of income . The parts and metal that constitute the Clockwork are not producible in the current age . Even my sword is cut out from a Clockwork’s armor . ”
Gideon said . He approached the Clockwork wreckage and stuffed the parts that seemed useful into his item box .
“As expected of the adventurer who made a name for himself at the frontier . ”
Ares seemed impressed as he looked at Gideon skillfully sort out the Clockwork parts .
Gideon‧Lugnason . Hero Ruti’s brother and an adventurer known as the best swordsman in the frontier .
As a person who was part of the party since the Hero began her journey, his wealth of knowledge and experience as an adventurer made him a well-respected existence in the party .
“Ruti, the Hero’s proof should be behind here . ”
Yarandorara said to Ruti . Their goal for searching this ruin, the Hero’s proof, was right in front of their eyes .
“Yup, with that, even the king will believe that I am the Hero . Once I receive that recognition, I can obtain a permit to enter various countries and acquire the authority to borrow soldiers . With that, we can start the journey to defeat the Demon Lord!”
Ruti sounded lively as her journey will finally begin and the party proceeded into the depths together .
After safely acquiring the Hero’s proof, Avalonia officially recognized Ruti as the 『Hero』 .
Avalonia’s King celebrated the second coming of the 『Hero』and held a grand party before they left .
The heroes forgot about the battle for a brief period and enjoyed the food and music .
“Ares, Kifa, you guys were here . ”
As the party was calming down, Ruti noticed that Ares and Kifa were not in the banquet room .
After searching for them, she found the two of them at the castle terrace looking out .
“Ruti, you could have enjoyed the banquet without worrying about us . Sorry for making you worry . ”
“What are you two looking at?”
“The streets . ”
Ares said as he pointed at the Avalonia streets lit by the moonlight .
“Under this moonlight, there are many people living their lives . I find it very precious . That is why I wish to protect this city . ”
“Ares … yup, I feel the same way . I will not let the Demon Lord or anything have their way with our world!”
Kifa gazed at them with sparkling eyes after seeing their determination .
“If possible, I would have wanted to continue on the journey with you guys . But I have to get married soon to Duke Danich’s daughter, Princess Serena . She is already in this city and is participating in the party as well . ”
“Ah, that kind-looking person!”
“That’s right, I thought of ignoring the marriage and continuing on the journey with you guys if I didn’t like the other party but … she’s an extremely good girl . I want to protect her by her side . ”
“I think that is a lovely thing, Prince . Don’t worry about us . It has only been a short time but I enjoyed adventuring with you . ”
“Me too! I am delighted that my sword was useful to you guys . ”
Prince Kifa laughed cheerfully . Ruti and Ares laughed along with him . Prince Kifa was a man who laughed a lot . Ares found it a pity that he was leaving as he would probably brighten the par
