I picked up the candy and appraised itââ
Dragon Blast UR
Disintegrates any and all substances and allows the user to shoot off waves of light.
It was a skill that perfectly incorporated the characteristics of Hydra. That is why up until now I assumed that these candies were the monsterâs magic cores.
However now that I thought more about it, these candies were exactly the same as the ones I used to get from the gacha.
The strange phenomenon was still continuing⊠Up until now I had assumed that the gacha had disappeared completely, however looking at this candy in my hand, that didnât seem to be the case.
These things that I had assumed were Magic Cores were being placed right here in front of me by someone. Just like the gacha had been⊠Thinking back to it, encountering the gacha might not have been a coincidence at all.
âIf someone really is behind all of this thenâŠâ
Just thinking about that gave me the chills. Were they perhaps trying to get me to do something?
The more I thought about it the more confused I got. I opened my space region and put the Dragon Blast candy inside. Somehow I didnât feel like eating it at all.
Afterwards I gazed up at the sky.
âIs someone really watching me I wonderâŠ?â
ââââââââ
âDid he do itâŠâ
A number of rays of light suddenly flashed, and afterwards Hydraâs body was nowhere to be seen.
âDid Gojo use the sword and defeat it?â
âMaster Leo⊠Hydraâs presence vanished completely. He did it!!â
Hearing that all of us hurriedly started running towards Gojo. Wan in particular was moving with a speed that no one else could catch up to.
When we finally got to the place where Gojo was, we saw that Wan was already there talking with him.
âIs it just my imagination I wonder? Even though he just defeated that thing he somehow looks down.â
âGojo you actually beat Hydra, right!?â
âOf course, you donât have to worry about it any more.â
âGojo there wonât be any other stronger Dragons coming out right!?â
Freya was asking Gojo with a worried expression.
âNo way. Even I wouldnât be able to handle it any more. There arenât any other strong Dragons left in the area, and I think that from now on the Dragons as a whole will start dwindling as well.â
Hearing that everyone here including me, let out sighs of relief.
âSo itâs finally overâŠâ
ââââââââ
âWell either way I guess Iâll think about the other stuff later, for now I defeated Hydra and everyone is safe so all is good. Still this sword really saved me.â
Looking at the sword I held in my right hand, shock suddenly covered my faceâŠ
âAH!!â
âGojo whatâs wrong!?â Asked Leo immediately after hearing me scream.
âItâs ruinedâŠâ
âHuh?â
Everyoneâs gazes began to gather on the sword. Cracks could be seen running down the whole sword, and the blade was chipped in numerous places as well.
âI guess itâs because I used it in that mannerâŠâ
The worst part of it all was that I had just straight up stolen the thing⊠Saruman would definitely be pissed at me.
âItâs fine, Iâll talk to Saruman about it.â
Said Leo with a smile on his face.
âHe really is a true Hero in every sense of the word.â
After saying âThank you.â I handed the ruined sword Leo. Unfortunately with the current rank of my Blacksmithing Class Skill I probably wouldnât be able to repair a rare item such as that.
âI just hope that they wonât make me pay a huge sum for itâŠâ
âEither way, letâs go back for now.â
After saying that I opened a crack in the air that led to the space region. Which of course led to Brest.
âCan you use this thing to go to other places as well?â
Wan asked with a curious expression, however Ryu and everyone from The Sanctuary Knights looked at the space region with a tinge of fear in their eyes.
Gress was the first of them to step within the crack.
âIâve already passed through this thing numerous times, Iâm used to it already.â
He said with a somewhat resigned tone. After he stepped inside and was teleported to the other side Wan followed after him without any hesitation. However there were still some Sanctuary Knights members who were a bit hesitantâŠ
âI cannot keep maintaining this for a long time, so please go inside.â
After urging them, it seems like they had finally made up their minds and so everyone passed through.
ââââââââ
[NATO General Staff Headquartersă»Army General Hansen]
âThe Sanctuary Knights are back, you say!? Are you serious!â
âIf we were to follow the original plan, they were supposed to go to Ireland after defeating the BOSS, and help the refugees there. Even if they werenât able to defeat the BOSS, they were to still go to Ireland either way. After all the battleships and the submarine were dispatched there as wellâŠÂ There shouldnât have been a way for them to return without first going to Ireland. How in the world did they come back?â
âGather all of the Commanders and General Managers. Weâre having an emergency meeting! ăAlso convey to Leo to come to the meeting room as soon as he can.â
âAfter hearing about the wiping out of the NATO Marine Forces I had assumed they were in dire straits as well but I guess thatâs ability users for you.â
A bit after that the emergency meeting was held.
ââââââââ
âIâm coming in.â
After opening the door in front of me I saw three desks lined up in a ăł position, with executives from the NATO Army sitting all around them.
âLeo, itâs great that youâre safe. We were worried.â
âIâm sorry to have troubled you.â
âIâll get straight to the point. Did you defeat the BOSS?â
âYes, after discovering the BOSS we proceeded to subjugate it.â
Hearing my words everyone inside the room let out voices of praise.
âWhat kind of Dragon was it!?â
âYes, give us the details.â
Were the questions the other executives began asking me.
âI guess itâs only natural that they want to know everythingâŠâ
âThe BOSS that we encountered was an enormous red Dragon. It was a really tough battle, however with our combined strength we somehow managed to take it down.â
âWere you the one who dealt the final blow Leo?â
It appeared that they really wanted to know who had defeated the Dragon in the end. After taking in a deep breath I answered.
âWellâŠâ
ââââââââ
ââSeveral hours earlier
After arriving at Brest, we immediately went to the nearby military facility to wait there. Currently all of us were gathered in one of the waiting rooms.
âWell then Gojo, itâs time you tell us more about yourself. I promise not to reveal anything we hear here today.â
Leo said with a serious expression.
âI guess I did promise them Iâd talkâŠâ
Afterwards I proceeded to tell them about everything that had happened to me.
About how the gacha had appeared, about The Immortal King in Japan, the things that happened in America and so on.
Listening closely at my story, I could see that they all had a hard time believing all of it.
âUgh, still thatâs a hard to believe story. Can you prove it to us somehow?â said Carlo with a complicated look on his face.
âProof huhâŠâ
âHow about this then.â
After saying that, in the next instant I placed the ring and bracelet that Carlo was just wearing on top of the table right next to us. After pointing at the things I had just left on the table all of them were completely dumbfounded.
âThose! Those are the ones I was just wearing!? How in the!?â
âI just stopped time.â
[[Huh!?]]
Everyone was suddenly lost for words.
âYou can even do something like that!?â
Even Gress was completely shocked. From what I heard before he had seen my status so I figured heâd have seen the Space and Time Manipulation ability already, but I guess he couldnât quite comprehend it perhaps.
âIs that one of the skills you got from that gacha thingy? What else can you do!?â Wan asked with a curious face, her eyes shining.
âI guess she really must be interestedâŠâ
âThereâs another one thatâs called Immortality that stops my aging.â
âYou even have something like that!! So nice⊠I wish I could have that as well!â
Wan looked like she was having a lot of fun, however Leo and the others had a blank stare in their eyes.
âOh well I guess thatâs how a normal person would reactâŠâ
I proceeded to take out one of the so called Magic Cores from the space region.
âThis is the candy that I got after defeating Hydra. I think itâs the same as the ones I got from the gacha before.â
Looking at the ball in my hand, a hint of interest could be seen appearing on the faces of Leo and the others.
âLeo how about it? Want to try it?â
