Chapter 16: Do we have to fight again?
update icon Updated at 2025/4/12 10:10:12

Long, long ago, the Demon King descended upon the world, bringing immense disaster. But just as humanity was on the verge of destruction, the first hero, "Short, Poor, and Ugly," was summoned by the Hero's Altar. And among those who summoned this hero, there was the princess of the fallen Kingdom - they eventually got married, had a child, and left this world.

Descendants have always been trying to recreate the story of the first hero, with similar scenes playing out constantly.

Under pressure from the Elder Council, the current King Fred had to send Aloof to the city of Anglia. But how could Ulleia, someone completely obsessed with the imouto trope, let that happen?

As a result, he was sent to the border region ahead of time, for a duration of three months.

Ulleia wasn't really clear on the specific day Aloof went to the Zion Kingdom, so when he received the news, Aloof had already arrived there.

At that time, Ulleia almost spat blood out of anger.

Fortunately, Aloof returned later, although he was not sure what happened. But he rushed back to Galvercist as quickly as possible, and by the time he reached the city, he was exhausted. Coupled with his weak body, he fainted at the castle gate and was carried in by the guards.

Aloof's return was good news for the king, but it was a very bad news for the Elder Council.

The hero event took an unexpected turn, with Aloof returning to Galvercist. This was definitely bad news for the Elder Council, as they had expected Aloof to leave this world after defeating the Demon King.

Ulleia's return only made matters worse.

In fact, since Aloof's loli period, the Elder Council's old folks had sent their own grandsons to approach Aloof, but each time they were blocked by Ulleia. No one who couldn't defeat UlleiIt seemed that Green noticed Yulia's lack of enthusiasm, so Yulia kindly explained, "Flames and lightning are the two most powerful elements in elemental magic, and I have fused them together. If you underestimate me, you might die, in an instant."

At that moment, flames suddenly flared up on Yulia's body, as if fueled by oil, and the electric arcs increased in volume and frequency, becoming more noticeable than before.

However, what puzzled Yulia was that the temperature around him seemed unchanged, and he also noticed that the ice under his feet showed no signs of melting.

"..."

Yulia sweated coldly on his forehead, wondering if Mio would beat him up if he had been too aggressive, because he didn't think he could beat Mio.

Just then, Green's urging voice reached Yulia's ears:

"Are you ready? If you are, hurry up. We don't have much time."

"I wasn't feeling well when you knocked me down earlier, but now I've fully recovered. So I suggest you take this seriously, or you'll regret it later."

"..."

Seeing Yulia's serious expression, Green felt that his own attitude towards Yulia seemed disrespectful, so he took this matter more seriously in his mind. After all, Yulia was his future brother-in-law, and he had to give him face.

"It seems like you've taken this a bit more seriously."

A smile appeared on Yulia's pale face. He flicked his hand towards the sky, and a fireball shot up into the air and began to descend towards the ground.

In the moment the fireball landed on the ground, Yulia exerted force in his legs and appeared suddenly in front of Green at a speed that Green did not expect. Then, he instantly flashed behind Green and appeared in front of him again.

Green silently praised Yulia's control over lightning, but felt that the flames were not as impressive.

As Yulia looked at Green, who seemed "stunned" and had stopped thinking, he felt somewhat disappointed, thinking that Green was not as good as he had expected, and was not worthy of marrying Aloof.

Suddenly, Yulia's legs exerted force and he jumped from the ground, drawing a magic circle in the air with both hands.

A large amount of magic power gathered into the magic circle, and in less than a second, a flaming ball entwined with lightning shot out mercilessly from the magic circle towards Green.

Facing such an attack, an ordinary person would likely die on the spot, and even a powerful mage would not be able to withstand it. So Yulia had already started predicting Green's movements and was ready for the next attack.

However, Green's reaction completely exceeded his expectations.

Green gently reached out his hand and caught the ball of lightning and fire in his hand. Upon closer inspection, one would notice a faint white glow surrounding Green's palm.

This scene caused Yulia's body to pause for a moment. He quickly stabilized himself and landed back on the ground, narrowly avoiding falling on his face.

While holding Yulia's lightning and fireball, Green suddenly stopped and then looked at Yulia with an inquisitive tone:

"Big brother-in-law, do you still want to fight?"

"..."

Yulia's mouth twitched. He couldn't help but wonder how there could be such a malicious person in the world. After doing such a thing, he actually asked if Yulia wanted to continue fighting. This was clearly a mocking gesture!

But after calming down for a moment, Yulia quickly realized that this was probably Green's way of provoking him, trying to make him intentionally reveal a flaw. He also believed that Green's action had already consumed a lot of energy, and his relaxed stance was just an act of bravado.

Thinking of all this, Yulia showed a confident smile.

However, it seemed that Green saw through his thoughts. He squeezed his palm tightly when Yulia smiled, and the lightning and fireball disintegrated into small electric arcs and flames that escaped from Green's fingertips, ultimately dissipating in the air.

Seeing this scene, Yulia's triumphant smile froze on his face.
