*Whistle*
Nezu was leisurely walking through the forest, thinking what should he do next.
"But first I need to wash myself." Looking at his body that was full of dried blood, dirth and wounds that already healed leaving only a bit of scars.
"The regenerative ability of my body is really so powerful, it won't take a few hours for the scars to be gone."
After a few minutes later, Nezu finds a river.
"Perfect, its really became uncomfortable with all this dirt on me." Nezu didn't wait anymore and quickly took of his remaining clothes which is his pants.
"Ahh what a relief" Nezu the lean on a huge rock and doze off lightly.
In just the other side of the river.
"Princess we are almost near where that huge explosion was" a lady knight with a full body silver arrmor said.
"Sigh, Vienna didn't I say don't call me princess when we are on our journey?" A lady with shoulder length black hair that tied in high ponytail said, she's also wearing a silver light armor with a phoenix crest, with a sword hanging by her left waist, she looks so valiant and exude an aura of nobility and maturity. She was the Oldest Princess of Alastor Kingdom, Gaia Alastor.
"Yes Pri... Lady Gaia." Vienna just follow her princess orders.
Then they find a tattered clothing beside the river but didn't bother with it and continued their journey.
Sensing numerous people that walking towards his position. Nezu quickly wake himself up and stood up at the top in the huge rock.
Seeing that a naked man suddenly appeared in the top of a huge rock the Knights which unfortunately all women release a very heavy killing intent. These group of Knights hates men and when they saw a man and a naked one at that suddenly wants to hack him to pieces. Specially Vienna her hate for men runs deep and seeing a naked one she didn't hesitate and rush towards Nezu with her sword glowing.
Seeing the knights which was all women who was looking at him in hatred, Nezu was puzzled but his thoughts was cut short when he notice one of the knights rush at him.
Not even panicking Nezu said with a carefree expression, "Oi thats dangerous you know? And why are you attacking me suddenly with no reasons huh? Women really are unreasonable creatures" while dodging the woman's attacks, Nezu ask while he said the last sentence in a whisper but still loud enough for the woman attacking him to hear it.
The woman was furious and frustrated since she can't hit the damn beast, "Stay still you damn beast" lifting her sword above her head she coated it with wind element then swinging her sword down releasing a Wind Element Energy wave, she only stop after shotting multiple Energy wave slashes.
'A Peak Advance Rank Elementalist with Wind Element huh?' Not bothered about the multiple wind element energy wave slashes, Nezu was still leisurely dodging then coated his right hand with Elemental Energy forming a blade like aura, casually swinging his right hand towards the knight sending his own energy wave slash.
Feeling the sudden change of aura from the man, Vienna was caught off guard then she saw an Energy wave slash coming at her but was too late to dodge it so she just sigh and close her eyes waiting for her death.
*Swoosshhh*
Noticing she wasn't dead yet, Vienna open her eyes and look at the deep cut that appeared just beside her, with cold sweat and pale face she thought with fear, 'If that hits me I'd bee cut in half.'
"Now I see that you calm yourself, so care to tell me why did you attack me just now?" Nezu with an innocent confuse expression.
Seeing that the man didn't really know anything, Vienna grit her teeth with a flush cheek while hatefully glaring at Nezu, "A man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere while being naked, are you still denying that you are not a damn beast?"
'Naked? Oh shit' Nezu then suddenly remembered that he was currently naked then he quickly vanish in front of the knight appearing nearby his tattered pants.
"*Cough*, well its a misunderstanding and what's with the 'damn beast' thing? Its not like I saw you naked, I'm the one being taken advantage here okay?" Nezu justifiably said with a serious expression.
Hearing the man's shameless reasons, Vienna was ready to pounce on Nezu once again when she heard her Princess's words.
"Vienna come back here" Gaia said with a stern and commanding voice while looking at Nezu with a thoughtful expression.
Vienna obey her Princess orders and quickly came back towards the group of knights while also looking at Nezu hatefully.
"I know it will kinda sound like I'm narcissistic but even though I'm handsome isnt it rude to stare at someone's face for too long?" Still with a carefree smile Nezu also stare back at the woman who he guess to be a noble.
Gaia didn't bother answering Nezu and just stare at him for a few minutes then she reach towards her necklace that was faintly glowing.
Nezu felt a strange power through that piece of necklace, to be specific the gem that embedded from that necklace.
Gaia lift the necklace forward while pointing it towards Nezu, the faint glow suddenly became brighter, seeing this Gaia became excited and ask Nezu, "Are you the new Hero?" Hope was seen in Gaia's eyes.
'Fuck new Hero? That damned goddess didn't even say anything about another hero, I felt I was scam when I have a chance to see that damn goddess I'll surely punish her butt.' After being shock for a while Nezu then cursed the goddess while thinking of some punishment when they meet again.
Seeing Nezu's frowning face Gaia was puzzled, 'Why does he seemed to be angry? The human that was summoned before was even proud and arrogant for being the hero, well no matter its a good thing that the next hero was still summoned in our kingdom.'
Being in a bad mood, Nezu didn't have any interest to chat with the woman anymore, "Wrong person." not waiting for their reply, Nezu just turned around and prepared to walk away. 'Damn I only just arrive in this world for about a few weeks and already so many troublesome people keep finding me, first the demon who was sent to kill me, now a woman who seemed to be a noble from the nearby kingdom, and since I'm summoned here the first Hero should be dead, Sigh and where did they even find those things that can recognize a Hero.' Nezu didn't want to be affiliated with any kind of power right now because he was worried that they may have some kind of Slavery Item or Skill. 'Well I know I'm just overthinking it but its good to be safe, and since there are ways to recognize a Hero I can't hide my identity for too long so I need to quickly increase my strength because demon's might not be my only enemy.'
"Wha..." Gaia wasn't prepared for Nezu's quick refusal, she know that HE was the new Hero since the gem didn't fail before because it's the same gem that recognize the previous Hero.
"Wait Sir Hero..."
*Swoosh*
Nezu quickly vanish and Gaia gritted her teeth and just sigh helplessly, "So hateful he didn't even give me a chance to explain."
"Princ...Lady Gaia what will we do now? Do we still need to head towards those explosion or find that hateful beast..I mean Hero?" Vienna still harbored hate towards Nezu.
"No, since we found the Hero close to that explosion it easy to understand that he was somehow related to it." Gaia then quickly command to head towards Westia.
"Ugh shouldn't we head back towards the kingdom Lady Gaia? And report this to His Majesty that we found the next Hero? Vienna said with a puzzled look.
"If we reported this to my father other powers will also know about it so we must take this chance to bring him to the kingdom when they still didn't aware of a new Hero being summoned." Gaia said with determination in her eyes.
