Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Chapter 12: Unfortunate Heero (4)

It happened right after Heero promised to bring Yueying back to Nebraska Mountain. He wanted to introduce Yueying to his master and seven fairy mothers.

However, that day, Hero Guild's bell rang which also meant an emergency situation. Hero Guild found there was an existence of Emperor Specter broke through to Moroka Mountain.

Moroka Mountain was a mountain near Morabaka City. Hero Guild without hesitation dispatched all heroes to Moroka Mountain and only left Beginner Hero guarded the city.

Emperor Specter was a frightening specter. To face such existence, at least, they needed five King rank hero to defeat such existence. It was fortunate there were six King rank heroes stayed in Morabaka City.

With high confidence and spirit, the heroes departed to Moroka Mountain. All Grandmaster and Master rank heroes must participate in this fight. Randy who just promoted to Grandmaster rank hero had to follow the team to Moroka Mountain.

When the heroes group which was being led by six King rank heroes arrived at the Moroka Mountain, they found something strange. They could not find a single specter. Not a single specter could be found.

Usually, Emperor Specter would always bring huge armies with it. Emperor Specter was a symbol of destruction. However, they could not find a single specter in Moroka Mountain.

Heero who also found the weirdness in Moroka Mountain felt bad premonition. When they reached the peak, they found a thick smoke from the direction of Morabaka City.

Heero who also noticed the thick smoke immediately rushed back. He did not hold back and rushed with full speed.

When they departed to the mountain, it took the group one and a half-day to reach the mountain. However, when Heero back to the city with his maximum speed, it only took him a half-day to get back.

Morabaka City which was also a new home for Heero was engulfed by fire. Heero felt his heart was suffocated, he found he was hard to breathe.

Lover, sister, and friends, all of them were inside the city, the city which engulfed by flame. On top of the city, the suspected Emperor Specter was in the top city. But it was not a normal specter, it was an Evil Dragon.

Evil Dragon was a dragon who already dead but turned into a specter after it died. Evil Dragon was a special existence in specter faction. It stronger than a normal Emperor Spector, yet it was also weaker than God Specter. Its strength was in the borderline between God Specter and Emperor Specter. Now, this creature was the one set Morabaka City ablaze.

"ARGHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Heero let out an agonizing scream and rushed toward the city. For the second time, Heero was angry, furious. His heart was filled with wrath, even so, with a hope Yueying and Marie were safe. Heero dashed to Rose Bar, Paradise, he looked everywhere, but he could not single survivor. He could not see a figure he wanted to see.

Once again, he lost what the most precious to him. He lost the people which he regarded as family. Even when he became a Hero, he still lost his precious.

"I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!"

Heero sheathed his sword and rushed toward the Evil Dragon. Even if it cost his life, Heero was so determined to kill the Evil Dragon. For the first time, Heero unleashed his full strength and fought against the Evil Dragon. He fought the Evil Dragon alone and managed to kill after he exhausted all means to kill it. However, Heero also passed out as soon as he killed the Evil Dragon.

What Heero could see was only darkness, he could see nothing, except darkness. Just as Heero thought he was dead, the surrounding turned into white and a figure appeared.

Heero recognized this person, she was one of his closest who always supported him, Ye Yueying. Yueying was smiling toward him, a smile that mesmerized him.

Heero also smiled as he thought, "it seems I also die, "

Heero wanted to approach the girl, he wanted to hug her. However, he noticed something strange, he could not get close to Yueying. Heero's step became faster and faster, in the end, Heero ran at his maximum speed, but to no avail. He could not reach Yueying. Instead, Yueying was getting farther and farther.

"YUEYING!" Heero woke up with his hand tried to reach the top ceiling. Then, he realized he was not dead yet.

"Urgh!" Aching assaulted Heero's body. The wound he received from battling against Evil Dragon was severe. He could feel all over his body was in pain.

Despite the pain he received, he got up from the bed. He went out of the room. When he reached outside, he could hear the cry of many people. Heero looked the surrounding and found he was at the center of Morabaka City.

Apparently, the city center was less damaged. Heero found the source of the cry. He saw there were many people crying while kneeling before a stone monument.

Heero approached the stone monument, his body was swaying as he walked toward the stone monument. He could guess what the stone monument was. It was a monument to remember the people who died during Morabaka City was attacked by Evil Dragon.

He could know that from the people surrounding who talked. There was a hand trying to reach Heero, maybe the hands wanted to help Heero, but Heero who focused at the stone monument brushed the hand aside, and walked faster to the stone monument.

When he reached the stone monument, he saw there were many names engraved on it. Heero's eyes turned blue and his eyeball was moving fast. He was looking for a name, many names.

He recognized many names, the aunt who always gave him milk and breakfast. The uncle who had a blacksmith, he always went there for his weapon maintenance. Name after the name came into Heero's eyes. Then, he found a name which made his tears trickled down, Marie Arossia. He always regarded her as her big sister, yet he now found that name on the monument.

Heero kept looking another name. After looking for a thousand names, he still did not find the name he was looking for. With a glimmer of hope, Heero kept searching, then a name came to his sight, Ye Yueying. Ye Yueying was engraved at the stone monument which was also meant she died during the attack.

Heero's feet went weak and collapsed. Tears poured down from his eyes. He knelt down before the stone monuments with tears. He cried, he felt suffocated, he was in a mess.

He became a hero to protect many people, yet despite the strength he had. He still failed to protect the most important person in his heart. Heero felt the training he went through was for naught. He still could not protect the person he wanted to protect.

Just like that, Heero was kneeling before the stone monument for three days. Without sleeping, without eating, he just knelt before the stone monument. Heero's eyes were vacant, dimmed. Many people tried to take Heero out but only received a beating from him. Heero won't budge from the stone monument until he heard something which aroused his spirit.

He heard people talked about Evil Dragon. It was said Evil Dragon was God Specter Horas' pet. Because of the unbreachable fortress Morabaka City, God Specter Horas sent its pet to break Morabaka City's preservation.

A strong urge for revenge awakened inside Heero's heart. He really wanted to go to God Specter Horas' castle and kill it. However, he knew the current him, it was impossible to defeat rank 11 Specter, God Specter.

After three days of kneeling down, Heero stood up. He knew what to do now. Firstly he would go back to Nebraska Mountain. He wanted to train even more to kill God Specter Horas. After that, he would slay God Specter Horas and brought its head here. He wanted to use its head for a tribute for the dead.

Of course, Heero not only heard this. He also heard it was King rank hero Reed who killed the Evil Dragon. Once again, his achievement was robbed by the other hero.

However, the current Heero did not care about the rank. What he cared the most was revenge. Heero without caring about the others, he dashed out of the city. There were many people tried to stop as he suffered a severe wound, but Heero paid no attention to the surroundings. His only main objective was to get stronger, in order to get stronger, he must go back to Nebraska Mountain. He must continue his training.

However, when he was outside of the city, there was a person blocked him. This person was the one who took Heero's achievement for killing Evil Dragon, Reed.

Reed was a man with white hair and he was at his earliest thirties. He was one of the candidates who would be the next Legend. At least, the rumors said so.

"Hmmm It's like this, about the matter of Evil Dragon. I" It seemed Reed wanted to talk about the Evil Dragon.

However, the current Heero did not care the one so-called Evil Dragon and coldly said, "You are in my way, fuck off!"

Reed was surprised as he heard what Heero said. He intended to apologize for stealing the achievement. However, he canceled his attention when he heard Heero's rude words. Rage steaming inside his heart.

Even though without the achievement of killing Evil Dragon, Reed was still King rank hero. He could not accept this. But then, when his eyes met with Heero's, his body shuddered voluntarily. His heart was beating furiously and he gripped his sword tightly.

The callous and dimmed eyes which were stared at him made his body quivered. Subconsciously, he made a way for Heero. His instinct was telling him to let Heero go, or death was his choice. Reed made a way for Heero and Heero dashed with maximum speed using Nimble Step movement.
