Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
T/L: Lore_Temple (foxaholic)
As I waited for my colleagues' orgy to end, I recalled what had happened yesterday and today.
Engaging in a fight against the wolf boss while faithfully playing one's respective role.
Sharing the loot with a smile after killing the boss through collective effort.
Being chased by a group of kobolds while screaming and laughing.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt a smile creeping upon my lips.
'It would have been better if at the end we had done the King Kobold raid together.'
It's unavoidable, but unfortunately, it can't be helped. To be honest, the wolf boss raid wasn't easy for them either.
Not to say about a much harder King Kobold raid.
Maybe, everyone would have faced a more tense situation? Perhaps then, these guys wouldn't have had the energy left for other miscellaneous things.
Ah… the more I think about it, the sadder I get.
'It's okay. It's not like all the bosses have been finished.'
There are still bosses on the 20th, 25th, and 30th floors.
From now on, I just need to lower the speed so that the party members can maintain their best condition right before entering the boss room.
That way, we will be able to raid properly.
What's going to happen to this party after getting out of here?
The end? Last meeting?
Honestly, that's a bit disappointing.
'Maybe I will make a proper party invitation or something like that?'
If I reveal that I'm a Hero and promise wealth and glory after slaying the Demon King, won't they accept it then?
I think it'll be a pretty good ending.
They're normal NPCs, so even if their growth potential is low, it's good enough to use good items or inner cores of beasts to fill in the gaps.
'But how much longer are these cubs going to have sex?'
I think it's been quite a while since I came out.
There is a degree to which it is done.
'Did they fall asleep while doing it?'
There's a possibility. After being chased by kobolds for a few hours, they must have been quite tired.
Hah, then I've been waiting outside for so long for nothing.
I groaned inwardly and opened the door.
Something sharp came aiming for my face.
Bollocks!
Startled, I grabbed it.
* * *
'Did he catch it?!'
She kicked him out with low-key words to reduce vigilance.
He opened the stone door and was stabbed by her spear from the blind spot, there was no way he would have known…
Cloud grabbed the spear as if it was natural.
'What the hell are those monster-like reflexes..?!'
Graveliya swung the dagger towards his right hand, which was holding the spear blade, without leaving him a second to recover. Cloud released his hold on the spear and dodged her dagger, and at the same time, she leapt wide behind, widening the distance.
"…!"
She sent a look to Kyle indicating him to get ready.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Our opponent is a strong one. Get ready, it will be a tough one."
Kyle nodded his head and held out the large shield forward. Graveliya hid behind him, ready to jab her spear through the openings at any time.
The two were ready to fight at any moment.
But the opponent didn't act according to their thinking.
He just blankly stared at his palm.
'…Is he poisoned already?'
To which, Graveliya and Kyle thought of the same thing.
"What..are you doing?"
A chilling sensation ran through their spines. Cloud's gaze, peering at them, it was filled with indifference. It was a short time for which they had been together, but that was a gaze they had never seen before.
They didn't feel it that way, even when he beat the three of them right after entering the dungeon.
'Is he that angry?'
In fact, it's rather good.
Because humans consumed by anger are not in the right mind. The situation for the opposition gets better, instead.
'We just have to hold on until the poison shows its miracle.'
The poison she laced on her spear was none other than that of a Cockatrice.
It is a poison that can even kill powerful knights.
It isn't instrumental in inflicting deep wounds, but it is enough to weaken the body's ability.
Maybe he will just die from poisoning.
Graveliya forcefully twisted her hardened lips.
"Can't you see it? It's betrayal."
"Betrayal?"
"Isn't that a familiar word to you? Hero, Cloud?"
"…"
"There is no way an A-class adventurer can kill that huge-ass kobold alone. If you wanted to hide, you should have been a little more professional, Hero-kun. After all, if can't even do simple things like that, won't your companions leave you? Just like before?"
Having said that, Graveliya looked into Cloud's eyes. At her provocation, she hoped him to become even more furious, she hoped that he would even lose his mind altogether.
However, Cloud was the same as when he first looked at the two of them.
"Betrayal… Betrayal… Betrayal~"
Cloud, who was muttering alone, smiled.
"I have really become rather inattentive."
Although he laughed, the heavy atmosphere did not change.
"Garuda. How's that guy?"
"Well..? Haven't you figured it out already?"
"I somewhat did."
Tub. Tub.
Cloud's footsteps echoed throughout the corridor. There was no sense of urgency in his steps. As 'relaxed' was the atmosphere, just as relaxed were his footsteps.
Graveliya was not attracted to the atmosphere.
The moment he entered the spear's range, she flared the spear without hesitation.
'Caught him…'
—her spear couldn't catch up to his figure.
Cloud miraculously avoided the spear with just a single step. The moment her attack failed, his sword moved.
A silver sword aimed at her neck.
A thorn-studded great shield blocked it.
Kang!
"..!!!"
Kyle frowned.
Apparently, he blocked the sword, but it was heavy, as if he had blocked some blunt weapon.
[Smash Strike]-!
It is a skill that deals double damage of attack power.
Cloud did not stop the sword.
[Smash Strike]-!
[Smash Strike]-!
[Smash Strike]-!
[Smash Strike]-!
[Smash Strike]-!
Kyle clenched his teeth together and endured the continuous blows. However, his body couldn't help it, regardless of his will.
He began to be pushed back little by little.
"This monster bastard!"
Graveliya stabbed forward with her spear to give Kyle a chance to catch his breath.
[Piercing Stab]-!
[Consecutive Stabs x3]-!
[Consecutive Stabs x6]-!
[Consecutive Stabs x9]-!
[Consecutive Stabs x12]-!
She even tried to shake off Cloud by using linked attack skills.
But they didn't bring any help to Kyle.
Cloud's sword didn't stop even as he evaded her spear.
"Oh my gosh! No matter how monstrous you are, isn't it too much to jump around like this, and that after being poisoned by a Cockatrice's poison?!"
She couldn't stand her temper and hollered.
Then, surprisingly, his attacks, which did not stop even to her linked skills, stopped.
"Oh, so it was Cockatrice's poison?"
Cloud slit his palm that held her spear blade with the sword.
Slurp-!
Black blood, not bright red, dripped down from his palm. As the dripping black blood fell to the floor, bubbles rose with a squeaking noise.
"Ha… what crazy sh!t is this…"
"…!"
Graveliya and Kyle were at a loss for words at the sight that was too unusual for a human.
Seeing the black blood turning to bright red, Cloud raised his sword again, a indifferent smile entrenched on his face.

The MC is an adult remember? Especially since he lived a military life, of course it has to affect his mind in some way or another, thus it being indifference. MC already has a very strong mentality so he wont bother about the littlest of things. Remember, MC is an adult.

Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
T/L: Lore_Temple (foxaholic)
"..!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
One of Kyle's arms flew off as the sword slashed. The remaining of the pair was also blown away in the rigidity of the pain.
"Kyle!!!"
Graveliya came, jabbing her spear.
The speed was fast, but the target was not slow either.
In the motion of flow, I avoided the spear, and skillfully grabbed the spear. Graveliya opened her eyes wide in surprised.
In response, I naturally kicked on her stomach and made her roll on the floor.
"..!!!!"
Kyle howled, with his facial muscles becoming bestial.
I just slapped him on the neck.
We don't need this dumb cub for now.
"Damn this sh!t!"
Graveliya, who was sent rolling on the floor, injected her strength into her legs as soon as she stood up and swung her fist.
Commendable. The courage to wield her bare fist at an opponent with a sword.
In admiration to her courage, I chopped off her swinging arm in return without courtesy.
As a bonus, her opposite leg was also included right after.
She wobblingly hopped a few steps back with her remaining leg and then feebly collapsed on the floor.
"I still don't understand. Why did you betray me?"
I approached her as she collapsed on the floor and asked. She laughed softly.
"By chance, are you sick in your head? I did it. Of course—because you're a dick."
"Hm, that's not new, I guess. Was it because of what happened when we entered the dungeon? I didn't know, you had such a kiddish mentality?"
"It's a joke, you idiot. Would someone like me risk her life just because of something like that?"
"I'm glad you still have the energy to joke around. I still do have some questions."
I stably slumped down right next to Graveliya.
"Why?"
"Why do you think I will answer your doubts?"
I took out a potion and showed it to her.
"If you don't answer me…maybe, I will make you a goblin sex slave?"
"Heh. This is what a Hero is. The world is ruined."
"Don't turn around with your words. Answer, why?"
"Of course, because I wanted to live."
I frowned. It was still an incomprehensible answer.
Seeing my expression, she giggled and spoke to me.
"Didn't you said? This dungeon has 30 floors."
"I did."
"We are on the 15th floor right now."
"Right."
"Just look at this. We are only halfway here, but we almost dead, didn't we?"
"Nope, no one died."
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter, because we almost died. I don't want to die. But you, stronger than the three of us, insists on going downwards to those more dangerous floors. You got your sh*tty answer? In order to survive, I had no f**kng choice but to kill you by surprise, got it?"
"You say you wanted to kill a Hero because you wanted to survive… Isn't that a bit contradictory? If it's found out, even if it's not Prona, in the Empire, or in the other countries… Oh, I don't need to say this."
No matter how heinous a crime someone commits, even a treason against humanity of killing a Hero, it doesn't matter half a penny if one doesn't get caught.
And dungeon is the perfect place to hide murder, arson, and thefts.
"If you wanted to kill me, weren't there better ways? Killing me while I'm asleep, or poisoning my food?"
"We all know how to sleep shallowly, right? Even if someone gets a little close, you wake up. Besides, you didn't eat the meat grilled by us, did you? You first have to give us a chance to do anything!"
…well, I still haven't broken my old habits.
"..you didn't felt any guilt? The suffering that the people of a country who have lost their Hero will suffer."
"Is that really what the Incompetent Hero should be saying? Rumors have spread that the Hero of Prona is not trustworthy at all, some say that the people of the Kingdom of Prona have already given up on their Hero. The king is also said to be attaching a string with another Hero… you don't know?"
"I have no interest in politics."
"…I see. Anyways, that's the reason I tried to kill you, the Hero. I wanted to live."
I sighed at her defiant attitude.
"I didn't had any intention to let any one of you die. You know I'm strong, right? You also found out that I was a Hero. Then didn't you had the option to trust me and follow me? If you did, the fame and fortune would be incomparable to what it is now…"
"Trust the Incompetent Hero? Yo, Mr. Hero, aren't you too overconfident in yourself?"
"…"
"Tut… Don't give me that long face. Because I know that even the Incompetent Hero is much more powerful and respectful than the likes of us. Still, wasn't that just another new road where I would have to still risk my life? So, I was thinking of handing over this dungeon's location to another Hero. It's a dungeon that the likes of us can't raid anyway. Moreover, it's a dungeon that the Hero Cloud covets, isn't it? If I hand it over, wouldn't I at least get the title of a baron?"
"The more I hear, the more I think you are a f**king b!tch. From the moment I saw the pink hair, I shouldn't have given my trust. Ain't gonna believe in pink hair weirdos from now on, or I'll go crazy. What about Garuda?"
"At first, I was thinking of getting him into our plan. But nutheads like him don't listen. He thought that he can become some great warrior bullsh!t if he follows the Hero. So, I stabbed him with a dagger that was heavily poisoned with Cockatrice poison. He died in less than five minutes, with no dead body left."
"…I'm not sure on how to face Garuda's family."
"He is a bastard that will readily have an affair even though he has a decent wife, what do you think? Arr… with such a brain, he was gonna die soon anyways. There, there, Hero-kun, no need to be distressed. Now, why muddle up in past sorrows, can't you just save me? For the rest of my life, I will only look at Hero-kun."
"A goblin slave?"
"F**k… just kill me."
Her face was pale, with a lot of blood drained from her smiling face.
Looking at her blood that covers the floor, it seems that there is not much time left for her.
"Ah, before I die, I have something to say to our Incompetent Hero."
She turned her head to look at the ceiling. Then, she made eye contact with me, she said.
"It seems to me that there is a virgin flower garden on the head of the Hero. When people become teammates, it is natural to risk our lives for each other and bla bla, eh?"
"…"
"Calm down, dude. Don't you know you will just be suffering like that? Teammates are just pieces of interests. When you no longer need them, you throw them away. Especially the bastards of adventurers like me."
"…"
"…But, well, if you want to have a teammate who risks his life for you, there is a way."
"?"
"Take away their weakness. Either physical or emotional. And use it. Let's think. Why did Kyle risk his life to fight for me?"
"You two are a couple, he loves you, pink weirdo."
"Then did I love Kyle? Love someone who is dumb, unable to speak?"
"You… damn, I really have nothing to say."
"Hick… haha, our innocent Hero doesn't know, that's what the world is all about. Use whatever that's available. A tool, is just a tool… don't give up on using them… that's… the secret to surviving to the end…"
Graveliya's voice got weaker.
Soon her eyes darkened.
I sighed and covered her eyelids.
I laid down on the floor and looked up at the ceiling.
There was only the coverage of the expanse of stone ceiling, but my eyes saw something else.
"Why do I miss you today so much…"
The words that Graveliya had said replayed in my head.
– Take away their weakness. Either physical or emotional. And use it.
– Use whatever that's available.
– A tool, is just a tool… don't give up on using them…
"I just wanted to experience that feeling again…even if it's just a little bit… I don't think that's possible here."
If that's the case, there's no reason to cling on what's unachievable.
A bitter laugh escaped my lips.
Just when I closed my eyes to the ensuing darkness.
– Cloud, the Imperial Social Banquet will be held soon. Don't forget to attend.
Frillite.
It felt as if her voice was being played right in my ears.

From what I understand he was never good he just wanted to experience the feeling of companionship, if I'm right what I think I am I take back everything I said about him,I would also want to try new things if I went to another world, and it looks like he had a pretty dark past in our world.

Chapter 39.1: Imperial Social Banquet (1)
Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
T/L: Lore_Temple (foxaholic)
The center of the continent.
An imperial banquet that unfurls in the imperial palace.
It is a supreme honor for any family just to get an invitation for participation.
Infinite opportunities open up just by participating.
This is the Imperial Social Banquet.
The paramountcy and dominion of aristocrats leading the continent.
"Did a lot of your friends died while hunting the ogre? That's just so sad~"
And, a frivolous man who did not fit into such a noble place. A handsome man with gorgeous blonde hair and contrasting copper skin.
The Hero of the Kingdom of Alitia, Gis.
He crossed his legs and sat in an unbecoming posture, picking up one of the grapes and put it into his mouth.
"It was a noble sacrifice. Their sacrifices will be recorded in the history and passed on to the future generations."
Contrastingly, the man sitting opposite to Gis was perfectly well suited to the lavish backdrop of Imperial Social Banquet.
A handsome man with long, curly hair neatly arranged, exuding the atmosphere of an upright nobleman.
The Hero of the Kingdom of Carta, Lorian.
He took a sip from the cup of tea in a gentleman posture.
"Sacrifice… heh heh, you sure know to wrap it up in flowery words. Well, whatever. But these days, rumors say that your party has still not recovered from the damage taken during the Ogre Subjugation… I was thinking, are the rumors true~?"
Gis lampooned while looking at Lorian's party members busy chating with other nobles.
They haven't increased in numbers since the Ogre Subjugation.
Still, 5 people.
Eri is actually for handling luggage, so there are only 4 people in actual sense.
To Gis' sarcasm, Lorian replied with a smile.
"I found out that day. It's better to have a compact, small and qualitative group than to increase numbers with mediocre people."
"Aha, how come your 'chip-chip' tone sounds sarcastic to me?"
"I didn't mean to, that's how you feel."
"Damn, Lorian. As I have said many times, I hate the way you circle up and talk like little girls of your aristocratic class."
"Then let me be straightforward. Do it in moderation. Rumor has it that your party already has more than 16 members. Do you just pick up any girl or woman that comes to your liking?"
"Nope, the fit between us should be good too. Honestly, the women that I can like are all over the continent. I can't take all of them with me, so I made a compromise, isn't that rather good enough?"
Lorian frowned.
"Then let me ask you one thing. How many of your party members can actually participate in battles?"
"It's a lot more than you can fantom. Because everyone is more talented than you think. These b!tches behind me were all in Cloud's party, weren't they?"
Gis pointed his thumb behind his back.
Behind him stood two beauties.
Neria, a beautiful girl with short blue hair and the childhood friend of Cloud.
Ophelia, a beauty with golden blonde hair and emerald eyes, a former teammate of original Cloud's party and a saintess candidate.
Unlike his other party members, they were not allowed to act freely.
In the first place, they had a different status from other party members in Gis' party.
For Gis, they were just trophies.
Lorian looked at the two women and sighed deeply.
"You say that after you erase the bruises on the back of her neck."
"What?"
Gis turned back to look at his 'trophies'. As Lorian said, there was a bruise on the back of Neria's neck.
He furrowed his brows.
"Hey, Ophelia."
"…Yes, Hero."
"Didn't I clearly told you to make the outside intact?"
"I'm sorry. I couldn't see it because of the collar."
"What if you didn't see it? Do you want to say that it's my mistake? By the way, what if like Lorian saw it, other nobles saw it too? I'm going to be known as a bastard who abuses his party members… Was that really what you were aiming for? Do you want to get revenge in that way, even if you are timid otherwise, huh?"
"…Absolutely not. It was a mistake…"
"Shut up. You are too comfortable these days, eh? Let's go back today."
Ophelia's shoulders trembled. She lowered her eyes and nodded her head.
"Understood… Hero-sama…"
"Aren't you too harsh on them? I may not know about men, but I know you were kind to women."
"For these back stabbing b!tches who I can't even f**k?"
Gis wrinkled his brow.
Lorian gave him an interesting expression.
"It's not like you. I thought you would have already played with them. To be honest, I'm utterly surprised that you still haven't. I had thought you would have already had your share of fun and would have thrown them off somewhere."
"Playing with a saintess candidate and throwing her off? Ha, you think I'm crazy?"
"Isn't that so?"
"F**k you, Lorian. I have a head too. I have no intention of turning the church into my enemy."
A saintess must be a virgin.
If someone steals her virginity before the next saintess is decided, that person will be excommunicated and receive a punishment worthy of his crime.
"So, I will wait until the saintess is decided. After the saintess is decided, I don't have to look at the face of the church."
Saintess candidates who are not selected as the saintess are nothing more than just nuns. And if the church had to choose between a Hero and a nun, it would naturally raise its hand in support of the Hero.
"I see. I think her being a saintess candidate is the reason that stops you, so the other girl… What about her?"
Gis sighed deeply at Lorian's words and scratched his head.
"Damn it, I've been busy all this time. Do this, do that. How severe is the interference, you know? Tsk-!"
Moreover, there was also no time to search for that wimpy Cloud.
So he had asked one of his supporters and his adoptive mother, Haley, to catch him… but was turned down.
Haley had also instructed him not to engage against Cloud for the time being, which he simply couldn't comprehend.
'How interesting it is to make fun of that bastard.'
No matter how much his adoptive mother, Haley, instructed him against it, Gis had no intention of giving up on his own pleasure.
"So, I came with a lot of anticipation for today. He has been missing for the past few months, but won't he come to the Imperial Social Banquet anyway?"
Refusal to attend the Imperial Social Banquet without any good reason is an insult to the Empire and the Emperor who rules it.
Moreover, it is "the Hero Cloud" who has no political foundation.
He wouldn't want to create any further problems for himself. He will probably come unconditionally.
Gis giggled and whispered into Neria's ear.
"Finally, the long-awaited day has come, Neria. The day you will graduate from your virginity status in front of your childhood friend."
To Gis' words, Neria could no longer pretend to be calm. Her eyes fluttered like crazy. Her teeth clenched and clashed, and her body shook in terror.
Gis smiled brightly as he watched Neria shivering to her terrible future.
Like a child who had received a toy as a gift from his parents.
Lorian was already tired of this, but this time he was more tired of Gis.
Gis wanted to take pleasure in savoring Cloud's expression while depriving the innocence of the person he loved right in front of his eyes.
Not touching her for months just for this show. As always, Gis' obsession with his twisted desires was abnormal.
"Uh? Look, Neria! The audience to watch your wonderful maiden pluck show has arrived~!"
Neria turned her head into the direction Gis was pointing at. To the entrance to the Imperial Social Banquet.
There, a handsome man in a black tailcoat sauntered.
An overwhelming handsome appearance that stood out even in the Imperial Social Banquet where there were a lot of handsome men and women.
It was Cloud.
'Cloud…'

Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
T/L: Lore_Temple (foxaholic)
'Cloud…'
Neria was moved to tears on seeing the face of her childhood friend she had not seen in a really long time. She wanted to run up to him right away and greet him, saying hello.
But she didn't deserve it, she didn't have the strength in her.
All she was allowed to do was to look at him from far away.
– Look, look!
As he walked in, the nobles began to murmur among themselves.
– Who is that person? Really handsome…
– Which family is he from? Shall we speak with him after a while?
Some of the young aristocratic girls who were attending the Imperial Social Banquet for the first time spoke admiringly about his appearance.
But most of the nobles put him down.
– Well, isn't it the Incompetent Hero? He has been hiding for months, did he finally decide to come out?
– The Incompetent Hero? Why is he called that?
– You don't know? Though he's all slick and shiny on the outside, but from inside—weak, weak to the core. Even though he's a Hero… um, maybe he is even weaker than the newly recruited knight in my house?
– Well, maybe. But anyway, he's a Hero.
– Really? Heh, it doesn't matter how high the name goes, but the lower blood will always be of those lower runks.
– Of lower bloodline… I..see.
Some even openly raised their voices as if to make other's listen.
Cloud didn't care about them and their gossips.
He just looked around once.
He didn't see the one he was looking for.
'Looks like she hasn't arrived yet.'
He let out a small sigh and sat down in a suitable place. After he got a drink from the waiter, he ordered the dishes and started dinning elegantly.
Gis looked at him and grinned.
"Man, our hero is eating alone. He must be lonely. Well then, I will be the one accompanying him."
Gis ambled towards Cloud with a smile on his face and sat down next to him. He patted him on the shoulder and said something.
Watching this, Lorian smiled.
Gis' behaviors are like childish pranks, but it's different if the person being targeted is Cloud.
For Lorian, the scene where Cloud and Frillite were shoulder to shoulder was still present in his eyes.
'She's not a person that likes of you can touch with those lowly hands.'
It would be really nice to make you come to your senses properly at this point.
While was Lorian thinking so.
Quang-! Clink-! Clink-!
Gis' face was planted onto the table.
The plates on the table broke and fell down, making a clattering noise.
Cloud raised his left hand, which grabbed onto Gis's hair.
The dull-witted expression of Gis who could not understand the situation was engraved into the eyes of the nobles.
Quang-!
His face was once again planted onto the table.
Silence fell over the place, all over this Imperial Social Banquet.
* * *
Gis' actions were no different from usual. He approached Cloud with a lighthearted attitude and mocked him. He draped his shoulders, disturbed his meal, and undermined his dignity.
If it was the usual 'accommodating' Cloud.
– Haha, first tell me kiddo, you did the things I asked you to do the last time? Or, do you want to show off what an unruly orphan like you has become, punk?
He would have accepted it as a fun game in a jovial tone. Because that would be more fun.
However, for some not so good reason, Cloud was not feeling very well right now.
Cloud grabbed onto the back of Gis' head with his left hand and slammed it down on the table.
Quang-! Clink-! Clink-!
—followed by a loud noise.
Because of which, Gis could not understand the current situation for a still second.
Cloud lifted his head.
Everyone's figure who was attending the Imperial Social Banquet came back into Gis' sight.
Astonishment, surprise, bewilderment.
The nobles were looking at him with such emotions.
Quang-!
It wasn't until the second time his face was planted onto the table that Gis understood the present situation.
Heat ran all the way up to his head.
'T-This trash?!'
He didn't know what this p**sy bastard was thinking, but he knew that he was going to make him regret it.
Gis grabbed Cloud's wrist, which was pressing down on his head.
He tried to throw it off…
'What kind of power is this..!?'
He couldn't even shake it.
Ogre's Glyph.
Cloud using it had a higher strength stat than Gis. Although it wasn't a huge difference, it was enough for Cloud to subdue Gis.
'What the hell is happening..!'
Gis groaned inwardly and swung his hand towards Cloud's throat.
He couldn't fantom what means this loser bastard used to make himself stronger, but one's vital points are unavoidable to not be defended. If Cloud's throat was caught, and he stumbled, he was going to get out of this.
'Take a taste of hell, b!tch.'
Don't think it'll end up as easily as last time.
However, his vow couldn't come true.
The moment he saw Gis' right hand move, Cloud lifted his hand from Gis' head and pulled his body back.
Gis' hand cleaved through the empty air.
Before his hand could retrieve itself back, Cloud grabbed Gis' neck with his right hand. Without giving him a chance, using the power of his whole body, he whanged Gis' body on the floor.
Crrrak!!!
A different level of impact from when Gis was thrown on the table resounded in the whole surrounding.
"Kuh..!"
The impact Gis' body suffered was also different from when he was thrown on the table. He felt jolted all around, but it felt the worst in his head.
Mild concussions.
Gis couldn't stand up straight, and that moment was enough for Cloud to get on top of him.
He smacked Gis' stomach, followed by his buttocks.
He interlocked Gis' elbows along with his knees.
Leaving no room for resistance.
In terms of the beast world, he bit on the neck of the prey.
The game was already over.
If it were someone else.
Gis is also a beast, the one you can consider as a viper.
Even if you bite his neck, his spleen will remain. Gis rolled his tongue and pulled out the saliva he had hidden in his gums.
It was not just saliva.
But, Cockatrice poison with dried saliva.
Cockatrice's poison is so poisonous that it is only used on enemies one dearly wishes to kill.
Therefore, it is a poison that should never be used against another Hero, but the current Gis did not care about that.
There was only one thought in his mind, to bite, chew and defeat the person in front of him.
He waited for the timing.
And the moment Cloud was about to slam his fist…
– Spit!
He spitted on the face. Cloud's face turned back.
'Done. Bastard, now slowly go to hell.'
Gis' face rose for a smile.
He soon succumbed to embarrassment.
The saliva he had spit was sandwiched between Cloud's closed teeth as Cloud looked at him with his head lowered.
If Gis was a poisonous Salmusa [1], Cloud at this moment was a Honey Badger [2].
– Spit.
Cloud's spit bounced off the marble floor. Gis looked at the saliva that was thrown out with empty eyes, while Cloud continued with moving his fist.
What followed was unilateral violence by the strong.
The people at the Imperial Social Banquet, all looked at each other, totally overwhelmed by the sight.
Cloud bashing Gis.
It was something no one could have ever imagined. The realism never came.
Meanwhile, Neria came back to her senses.
'Oh, no..!'
She undoubtedly felt good for Cloud as he thrashed Gis.
But, Cloud has no political foundation. There may be Gis' own fault in this, but the most important thing right now is that there are too many eyes as witness.
Even those who saw it are, at least, high-ranking nobles of the Empire, those who normally considered Cloud to be an unworthy Hero.
What kind of aftermath will come to him when this situation gets over…
Neria came up with a terrible thought and ran up to Cloud.
"Cloud, I know that you're angry, but calm down. Please?"
Cloud didn't stop despite her earnest tone.
"Cloud! Please, calm down!"
Neria grabbed Cloud's arm and tried to pry him away from Gis. But his body didn't move. Not knowing what to do, Neria felt her emotions floating in turmoil, as if she was gonna cry.
"What kind of fuss is this!!"
Cloud's fist halted still at the loud shout that came from the entrance of the hall.
A figure came striding in, tearing through the crowd of nobles who were watching the fight.
"It's Gis again, you…. Cloud…?"
The one who just shouted was none other than Frillite.
Seeing her, Cloud looked at her and greeted her with a calm smile.
"It's been a while, Frillite."
[1] Mamushi, also known as Salmusa, is a venomous pit viper species found in Japan.
[2] As fearless predators, honey badgers won't hesitate to take down scorpions or venomous snakes for dinner. Even a bite or sting from its prey, such as the highly venomous Cape cobra (Naja nivea), can only temporarily knock out a honey badger.Novels online

Chapter 40: Imperial Social Banquet (2)
Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
T/L: Lore_Temple (foxaholic)
After requesting for consent from other nobles, Frillite withdrew from the banquet with Cloud.
No matter how high-ranking these aristocrats were, no one dared to raise their voice against her, the heir of the Ducal Perdiac family and the Hero of the Empire.
Thanks to which, Cloud was able to easily get his leave from the imperial banquet.
After the two left, the banquet became noisy again. However, the topics they discussed were very different from before.
– What were you saying? That he may also lose to the newly recruited knight in your house? The knights of your family are great, then. Even a Hero would be so easily defeated.
-…
Some simply admired the indifference and might shown by Cloud.
– Is that really the Incompetent Hero? What the hell happened in the last few months?
Some also wondered about what had happened in the past few months.
– Maybe… it's just because it was a surprise attack? Besides, Hero Gis didn't had any weapon.
– But, Hero Cloud wasn't armed either, right?
– Uh, umh, so do you think Hero Cloud will be able to defeat Hero Gis if he fights properly, with his weapon? Has he shown anything like such in the past?
– He must have trained a lot with a sense of revenge. I've seen plenty of cases like that. A person who has the right motivation is a completely transformed being.
– Would you like to make a bet, then? I have heard that you recently bought a decent beast slave this time…
– …No, absolutely no. That toy is mine. No more mentioning it.
Some just thought it was an interesting gossip material.
The reason why these who had negative views on Cloud showed this attitude was simple.
This is because Frillite personally led Cloud to leave the imperial banquet.
Which means that there is a close relationship between Cloud and Frillite.
They wanted to avoid harming themselves by meaninglessly gossiping bad about Cloud for no actual gain.
While the nobles chattered, Lorian recalled the scene he had just seen. Frillite took hold of Cloud's arm and left the banquet together.
"I knew there was a friendship between the two," he murmured.
But he didn't knew that she would still help Cloud even in this situation.
'Cloud… you're ignoring my warning.'
After tricking Eri into bringing herself into his party, Lorian didn't care anymore about Cloud.
Because he wasn't worth it.
Cloud was simply no longer worth his attention.
'The retribution on ignoring my warning…'
—will cost you a lot .Lorian vowed to himself.
Meanwhile, Lorian wasn't the only one looking at the exit of the banquet from where Cloud and Frillite had left.
Eri and Neria were included too.
They were looking at the direction where Cloud had left from with empty expressions.
While looking at the exit, Ophelia sighed.
* * *
A bar with a tenebrous and chummy atmosphere.
At the long table in the center, a middle-aged bartender was wiping a wine glass, while a man and a woman with identical red hair were sitting in front of him.
"When I was entering inside the banquet hall, I suddenly heard a lot of noise coming from inside. So, I wondered if Gis was making a riot again. But I never thought, that you were the culprit. Have to say, I was surprised in many ways."
Among the two, the woman with her long hair tied in a ponytail said, it was Frillite.
She was wearing the same tailcoat she had worn at the previous imperial social banquet.
"Put aside how you managed to defeat Gis. Because that's not what's important to me right now."
Frillite's crimson eyes turned to Cloud.
"What happened to you?"
"…Why do you think something happened?"
"It just seems so to me."
"Well, uh… Man, you are too direct."
Cloud smiled.
He twirled his wine glass and looked at the sparkling liquor inside.
"It's just because I kept thinking about the past."
"Thinking about the past?"
"Yeah. At times, it was really hard to the point of wanting to die, but looking back, I miss those times."
"…"
"Perhaps, you would have heard of it before? When people close their eyes, they remember the glory of the past? I sympathize with them, and understand it too. Because, maybe, I'm the same. Even if I try not to think about it, I still think of it, and sometimes I dream. A dream of overcoming dangers with teammates whom I can trust."
"…"
"So let's, just pretend to be good with something less, because it is something we will never forget for the rest of our lives. But… even that didn't go as well as I thought? So, well… I was a little disappointed, that's all."
Cloud shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, showing as if it wasn't that big of a deal.
Frillite looked at him with hazy eyes. What came to her mind was the past experience at the bar. The sleep talk that Cloud, who was drunk and fell asleep, uttered.
– Sorry…
– If I had done a little better, even… a little bit better, you…
'Yeah… you didn't forget those three even back then. The nostalgia seems to have gotten worse.'
Frillite's mouth closed shut.
The hasty words of consolation seemed more pernicious. But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't come up with effective words of comfort.
So, there was a moment of silence between the two.
It was Cloud who broke the silence. He asked, glancing at Frillite.
"Frillite, can I ask you just one thing?"
"Ask anything."
"Um… I mean. I mean, if there's something I need your help with. But it's very dangerous, so much that I can't even guarantee that you will be able to save your life. If I asked for help in such a situation, will you come?"
"Of course."
An answer without even the slightest hesitation.
Cloud laughed.
"Yeah, you are a person like that. Thanks for answering me."
He looked away from Frillite and began pouring new wine into the glass.
Frillite tilted her head.
"You seem to be misunderstanding something."
"Yes?"
"Did you think that I would risk my life to help anyone?"
"No, not for anyone. But, don't you, as a knight, follow the knight's code of chivalry? So…"
"As you said, I am a knight. A knight and the only heir to the Duke of Perdiac, and a Hero of the Empire. I know my position, my role, and my responsibilities."
Cloud gave her a questionable gaze.
'You still don't understand…'
Frillite sighed and continued.
"I have never promised anyone that I would risk my life for them, to no one. It's the first time I have made such a promise."
Cloud stared blankly at Frillite for a moment. Then he burst out loud, suddenly laughing out loud like a madman.
Frillite blushed slightly at him.
"W-What! At best, I'm caring about my f-friend, so why are you laughing?! Are you kidding me?!"
Cloud grabbed his stomach and desperately tried to stop his laughter. He said as he looked at Frillite with his smiling face.
"No, it's just that I feel like I was an a**hole until now. Something that was right next to me, I was finding it all over. I'm really, haha."
His expression, which was full of fits of laughter, gradually turned into a warm smile.
"Frillite, can I borrow your shoulder?"
"Shoulder? Well, it doesn't matter."
Why is he all of a sudden asking to have a shoulder-to-shoulder?
Frillite wondered to herself.
But she soon realized that she was wrong.
"Cloud?"
"Yes?"
"..I thought it was shoulder-to-shoulder like last time, why are you leaning your head on me?"
Cloud rested his head on her shoulder instead of putting his arm around her shoulder.
"Did I ever say it was shoulder-to-shoulder?"
"Cloud, no matter how much I'm unknown to matter between friends, I know that this is what lovers do."
"Well, is that so? Hell, who make that law! Besides, you agreed to lend me your shoulder earlier, didn't you? Aren't you both agreeing and disagreeing with the same mouth?"
"You sure do know how to play with words… Whoo, do whatever you want."
In the end, Frillite left Cloud's head resting on her shoulder.
Because she honestly didn't mind it either.
It was when the "resigned" Frillite was sipping on her wine again.
"But there was one."
Cloud muttered softly.
"What did you say?"
"Thank you. And your shoulders are cozy."
"Really? I thought it would be stiff because of my muscle training."
"No, it's very comfortable. If I didn't know it was your shoulder, maybe, I would have even fallen asleep like this?"
"I want to see how you will look like then, haha. If that happens, I have to carry you to your bed, but I don't know where your bed is."
"Want me to show you?"
"Never mind. Come on, have a drink."
"Hoho."
The two start drinking quietly again.
Cloud asked quietly when another bottle of wine was finished.
"Isn't it difficult for me to travel with you?"
"It will be. Regardless of whether you can keep up with my schedule, other kingdoms will protest. It's not about maintaining neutrality, it's about their personal interests, they won't want any other kingdom to solely receive another Hero's favour, support, or anything like that."
"Well, even if you didn't have that intention, it would look that way. Too bad. I wanted to travel with you."
"It's just a trip. It is also possible after defeating the Demon King."
"After defeating the Demon King, you will have to take over your family. Where will you have the time to travel?"
"Isn't there a honeymoon? How about going around the continent at least once with a little grandeur?"
Cloud rolled his eyes. Then he laughed.
"Wow, I didn't expect that from you, Frillite. You have improved a lot, too."
"Really? Well, accompanying you, I have also picked one or two of your skills. Rather than that, it appears that your difficulties with finding teammates is quite serious, seeing that you even want to travel with me. How about it, as I mentioned last time, to have the talents of the Empire as your teammates?"
Cloud waved his hand.
"Never mind. Because it seems like everyone here is the same, except for you. I'll just recruit my teammates from the guys I know."
"You know?"
"Yeah, the people I'm well-informed about. Ah, let's talk on what we were talking about at the beginning. Man, I was never so emotional type of guy."
Cloud scratched his head.
"I'm glad that your energy is back. And back to the beginning… What was your original intention?"
Cloud grinned at Frillite's question.
"Secret."
Frillite's brows speechlessly furrowed.

Man this story is SO JUICY but its so short and sloooow. Its every reader's worst pain and nightmare. That feeling of there being more chapters but its in another language foreign to you. The raws are also closely blocked by a pay wall or something. Adding the fact translation is slow inevitably. At this point WW3 is more likely to happen than this novel to be fully translated 😭😭😭

Re read it. Gis is the hero from the slums that took the childhood friend and the saintess candidate and Lorain is the noble hero that took the magician. Both are two different people representing two different kingdoms. I think you'd find the info in the first couple chapters

Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
T/L: Lore_Temple (foxaholic) Proofreader: DreaMing
"Damn it!"
"Kuuck..!"
After being kicked in her stomach, Neria let out a short moan. It felt harder to breathe. She clasped onto her stomach and tried hard to breathe.
But Neria's pain was not in Gis' consideration.
He kicked, trampled and kicked Neria again.
A heartfelt beating by a Hero who's level was approaching in its late 40s.
As a level 30, all Neria could do was to be heedful so that his attacks won't break her bones or damage her inner organs.
"Sh!t! F**k! F**k! F**k!"
One kick, one vulgarity.
Neria's body was getting more and more battered.
"Stop it! She will really die!"
Ophelia, who couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed Gis by his arm and tried to pull him away.
"Let go, you slut!"
"Damn it!"
As Gis swung his arm, she couldn't stand his strength and was flung away. Thud! She was powerlessly thrown out, her back slamming against the table.
"Ouch…"
"Ophelia!"
"Where are you going, you damn b!tch?!"
Gis grabbed Neria by her hair as she tried to run to Ophelia.
Gis pulled Neria's hair, making her look straight into his face.
His expression was horribly contorted with anger.
"Hey. Why the hell was that bastard able to change so much? What did I do to end up being beaten by a bastard like that?! Huh? Tell me, did you help that bastard without my knowledge? Come on, tell me, did you steal my item and gave it to him, huh?"
"Leave me..!"
Puck. Gis didn't dodge to Neria's punch. He ran his thumb over the area he was punched by Neria. His lips were slightly parted, and there was blood on his fingers.
"Ha… Haha… Cloud-! After that bastard, the likes of you are going to make a mockery of me? The bugs like you two?! Haha, haha, hahhaha. Your maidenhood was planned to be saved until I did it in front of Cloud, but you know what? I'm just going to pluck it right now. I'll explain the details to that bastard later."
Gis grabbed onto Neria's hair and started walking.
Neria resisted, but there was an overwhelming difference in strength between her and Gis.
She was dragged along like a mop sweeping the floor.
Just when Gis opened the door to head out.
"That… Hero…?"
Outside the room stood a real member of Gis' Party. Gis frowned as he spoke in displeasure.
"What?"
"No, that… Until now, I have only healed the skin and muscle injuries of the Hero. The injuries of the internal organs are yet to be treated… I need to look into it a bit more."
"Wasn't it already treated before?"
"That… it was still in treatment stage, but the Hero suddenly ran out…"
"Hah, f**k it!"
Gis scratched his head fiercely. He warned Neria while throwing her away.
"Wait here. I'll be coming soon. Don't even think about running away. If you get caught, you know what will happen."
Gis ignored Neria and Ophelia, and left the room with his party member.
"Neria… are you all right…?"
Ophelia ignored the throbbing pain on her back and approached Neria with her head bowed.
She was about to put her hand on Neria's shoulder for treatment.
Neria grabbed onto Ophelia's hand.
"Ophelia, let's run away."
"…uh? Run away? But, where..?"
"Let's go back to Cloud. Things will go back to the way they were."
"Neria…"
Ophelia felt sorry for Neria, and her trembling voice that was laced with hope.
That day.
It was from that day, from when Cloud and the girls completely separated.
Gis' attitude towards them changed completely.
At first, he started by harassing them lightly, but the intensity slowly grew stronger. Later, even if he felt a little offended, he started beating them.
Occasionally he threw things like food waste and even instructed them to lie down and eat like a dog.
Beatings and insults.
It has become their daily routine.
It was natural to leave the party in face of such situation, but it was impossible.
Because Gis had no intention of letting them go.
When they would go to bed after such a painful day, Neria would often talk to Ophelia about her childhood.
She would recall the memories she had made with Cloud.
Neria's face literally glowed when she talked about her memories with him. In the middle of which, she would not have a dull face like normal times, but an expression full of longing, sadness, and joy.
Whenever she was in a good mood, she would pull out items containing her memories with Cloud and show them to Ophelia.
A wooden dolphin figurine.
An object that Cloud's father had made for her and him before his disappearance. A figurine that only two people in the world shared. She regarded it as an irreplaceable treasure.
And that figurine was soon discovered by Gis and shattered by his foot.
Ophelia would never forget the expression Neria made that day.
Although she somehow joined it together with some adhesive, she didn't get out of the gloom for a while.
Whenever she saw Neria like that, Ophelia would often fall in her own thinking.
Although she is a messenger of the Goddess, it is natural that she shall be punished for failing to overcome the temptation and desire.
But what about Neria?
What did she do to deserve this punishment, this suffering?
Is this reasonable?
She did not doubt the existence of the Goddess.
The existence of the Goddess has already been revealed and verified through various happenings.
However, is it really like the church says, is Goddess really just, and does she really gives retribution to the evil?
If not, is she just… throwing a tragic fate on nice people, for her own fun and enjoying it?
Such a blasphemous thought often arose in her mind.
"Ophelia, you saw it too. How Cloud beat Gis. Now we don't have to worry anymore. Now, we can go back to the old days..!"
Saying that, Neria had a desperately hopeful expression on her face.
Ophelia understood her feelings. But she was skeptical of what Neria said.
'Is it really possible?'
As Neria said, Ophelia also saw Cloud at the imperial banquet.
Even though it was a surprise attack and there were no weapons involved, Cloud overwhelmed Gis.
While armed, Gis may lead. Still, Gis won't be able to bully Cloud as blatantly as he used to.
Because now, Cloud is also capable of resistance.
But there is one thing more important than that.
'Will Hero really accept us?'
If it was the Cloud Neria knew, then he would accept them unconditionally.
Without thinking about the wounds they inflicted?
The Cloud they knew was such a person.
Yet like it or not, Cloud has changed.
She could tell it just by looking at his brief appearance at the Imperial Social Banquet.
'Because I've never seen Hero with such a scary expression…'
Cloud is a human, so, of course, he also gets angry.
Especially when innocent people were eaten by monsters or killed by bandits, he would get particularly enraged.
On the other hand, the behavior he showed at the imperial banquet was completely different from before. He must have been angry, but it wasn't like hot fire. Rather, it was like a sharpened sword.
A razor-sharp sword that felt like it will split his opponent in two halves at any moment.
It was an emotion that they hadn't seen in the past him.
'Even if the Hero forgives us and accepts us…'
Can we really go back to the way we were before..?

Chapter 41.2: Imperial Social Banquet (3)
Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
T/L: Lore_Temple (foxaholic) Proofreader: DreaMing
Cloud of the past liked Neria.
Anyone who was by Cloud's side would know, unless they were an idiot. Because he would change his judgment at every single word from Neria.
In fact, one could even say that he took Neria as the actual leader of the party.
So how about the Cloud at the banquet?
Aside from ignoring Neria's earnest plea, didn't he completely treated her like a stranger?
But the same person, when he heard Frillite's voice, stopped at once.
Neria, who was screaming desperately next to him, was ignored while he warmly greeted Frillite.
After which, he was led away by her. Unlike Neria, when he was led by Frillite, he did not resist at all.
This meant that Neria was no longer the top priority in Cloud's mind.
'I don't know what happened between the two of them…'
It was certain that Frillite would take the former place of Neria.
And there's no way that Neria didn't notice that, she knew it even better than Ophelia. She was just ignoring it.
Ignoring the cruel reality.
"…okay. Let's go, Neria."
Ophelia decided to follow Neria, even if she suffered retaliation from Gis later.
To comfort her by her side when she was desperate, when she had to face the reality.
…to make her avoid making extreme choices.
* * *
Cloud didn't stay in the Imperial Palace.
So, it took quite a while to find him. Because the only lead they had was to depend on the poor memory of some drunkards.
Still, they were finally able to find him.
He was staying at a shabby inn, far away from the Imperial Palace.
It was totally inconceivable that he chose to stay in a place like this instead of the Imperial Palace, but that wasn't the point.
The important thing was that they found Cloud.
Neria's nervous heart was pounding.
What should I say? Should I apologize first? What if Cloud resents me? Etc.
Several thoughts galloped in her mind.
'…it's not the moment to waste time.'
After taking a few deep breaths and appeasing her mind, Neria knocked on the door of Cloud's room.
– Knock, knock
Rattle.
The door opened as soon as the knock sounded.
Cloud rubbed his eyes as if he had just woken up from sleep.
Neria was startled by the sudden opening of the door, but she tried to calm her startled emotions and spoke to him.
"Ah, hello, Cloud…"
She said in a tone that felt like a snail's crawling. Cloud tilted his head.
"Neria… Ophelia? What are you guys doing here at this hour?"
A calm tone without any extra emotion.
Ophelia realized that she was right. Just when she wanted to figure out how to later comfort Neria.
"I knew, you would."
Neria and Ophelia hardened at the voice that came from the stairs on the second floor.
Their heads slowly and mechanically, turned to the side.
"I don't understand why you guys are so afraid. I mean, I guess, you could have lived like that for the rest of your life."
Crunch.
He climbed the stairs and smiled at them.
Cloud looked at Neria, Ophelia, and Gis alternately.
He yawned profusely, as he interjected.
"This place is small, let's go out and talk. My room has not much space either."

I had an inkling that something like this might happen.
I'd seen Eri being treated with a cold shoulder at Lorian's party, and the look on her face I saw briefly at the imperial banquet seemed to say, 'I'm being abused!'
But damn it, there is no way I could have thought that they would come so late at night, and like this!
Maybe it's because they're chad fantasy people, they don't seem to know about manners~
"So, what do you think? I have brought all my equipments to meet you, when you saw me like this, you were scared, right?"
Just ten meters away.
Gis, who was fully armed, "teased" with a giggle.
I was comfortably sleeping, and then I was woken up, is that why you are so happy, you punk?
This is unfair.
At the very least, this bastard, this a**hole, mustn't be happy. Just like me now!
"Tut, you didn't change your habit of holding a b!tch in front of you like a shield? When I see a bastard like you, who has no power and only knows to hide under skirts…"
"Gis, I know, your mother is a prostitute."
"…what?"
In an instant, the smile disappeared from his face.
It didn't last long.
Because he had another smile on his face.
"Ahhh, you have really changed a lot, haven't you? In the past, I would have never imagined you answering with something like that…"
"I also know that you are a real bastard who ran out of the house tired of the fact that your mother was a prostitute."
Little by little, the smile on Gis' face began to disappear.
"Did you grow guts from just what happened in the banquet? Just because you succeeded in a surprise attack doesn't mean you're stronger than me…"
"Your poor mother. Even at this moment, she must be shaking her head and worrying about her only son. Always, for her son who~ Ah, she might forget you on some moments when making love with some maximal c**k."
Now, on Gis' face, there was no sign of a smile. He stared at me with a fiercely distorted expression.
"I'm going to cut off your limbs and throw them away as pig food. When your limbs are torn, and you can't even move…"
"Your mom, how much does she charge for an hour?"
"You motherf**ker!"
Gis unfurled the chain scythe in his hands.
Just as I was about to draw my sword.
Pak!
A large bayonet flew in between me and Gis and stuck on the floor. Thereafter, Frillite landed next with a greatsword, with long spears levitating behind her.
..?
"Frillite? Why are you here?"
"I was waiting around to see if something like this would happen. It was good that I stayed."
She said as she easily pulled out her bayonet, half-studded into the ground.
I asked her carefully.
"…Did you hear that?"
"Well, I did. It appears to me that alcohol has made your mouth low. I didn't know it when I was drinking along with you, but seeing it myself, I know it now."
Nodding her head, she directly looked at me.
"Vulgar language demeans the speaker. I don't want your dignity to be degraded. From now on, drink ale with a lower alcohol content instead of wine."
"No, but…Ale is just so tasteless…"
"Again, I don't want you to demean yourself."
Frillite dangerously narrowed her gaze.
"…alright."

Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
T/L: Lore_Temple (foxaholic) Proofreader: DreaMing
Gis couldn't comprehend the current situation.
He was about to inflict terrible despair on that cheeky Cloud bastard.
Suddenly, Frilite appeared, ignored him, and got busy talking with Cloud.
The attitude of completely disregarding him made Gis feel incensed, and a twisted 'tic' appeared on his forehead.
"You bastards…!"
As soon as the swear word was spit out, the eyes of the two Heroes turned to him.
"Gis. Tell me, why are you doing this? There is nothing good for you in this, if you try to do more than what has already happened, you will make the situation worse."
"There's nothing good? Why not? Watching that bastard get f**ked makes me feel damn good."
"But I won't let that happen. My meaning is simple, if you don't want to get in trouble, go back."
"If I don't want to get in trouble, I should go back..huh? I know why you're behaving like this. You're trying to strike a balance between us Heroes in order to continue that old tradition. Normally, I would have been forced to step back even though I was displeased. But now I feel like…"
Gis let out a sly smile.
"I don't wanna!"
Whirlik! Whirlik!
The chain scythes spinned with his arm movement and flew towards Frillite.
Frillite observed the flying chain scythe and added strength to her hand gripping the bayonet.
"I thought that one day, I will have to strengthen the discipline of the Heroes who would become lax in their behavior, but to think that… today will be the day."
Frillite swung her sword horizontally.
She swung it while wielding it in one hand at unbelievable speed.
Kagang-!
The flying chain scythe bounced off. Gis used the snap of his wrist to flick the chain movement. The waves moved along the chain.
The chain scythe, which was bounced off, once again aimed at Frillite.
Gis placed his hands between his arms and pulled out daggers through the gap between his knuckles. As he swung his arms, eight daggers walloped towards Frillite.
Of course, the daggers were laced with a highly venomous poison.
Frillite marked the chain scythe and daggers coming towards her.
Hah… She took a deep breath.
She lowered the tip of her sword. Then, she simultaneously oscillated the mana inside her body.
Her mana, which began to oscillate inside her, soon affected her surroundings as well.
A famous skill of the Perdiac family.
[Radiant Wave]-!
A red river of energy with ginormous churns.
Katk-!
The ground Frillite stood on was hollowed. With that, the ground around her proximity began to rupture.
Daggers, which were aiming at her, were splintered and scattered everywhere by force. The chain scythe, made of a special material, bounced off without suffering the same fate. However, it could not escape the fate of being severely damaged.
"…After all, it's Frillite. I'm not lucky, but I'm not going to get defeated by just one skill."
Gis scrutinized at the chain scythe's broken blade with a disappointed expression.
Soon, a hippie smile returned to his face.
"Because I'm not who I used to be!"
Hank-!
The chain scythes intertwined with each other and whizzed in a straight line towards Frillite.
The entangled chains imbued with green mana looked like two menacing snakes.
Frillite raised her sword upwards. A reddish black energy coated her sword. As she swung her sword down, the crescent-shaped crimson sword wave severed the two snakes apart.
With the snakes severed to their tail ends in a snap, the figure of Gis was nowhere to be seen.
"Didn't I tell you? It will be different from before."
Frillite heard Gis' voice from her own lower right direction.
She tilted her head backwards by an inch .
A colorful dagger of orange and black pierced through the spot where her cheek had been.
"It's a dagger crafted from Wyvern's teeth. Even iron can be easily ripped apart. Not to mention a human's body… Oh, don't worry. I'm not going to kill you."
[Reaper's Strike]-!
A blow intertwined with malice struck her.
* * *

* * *
As expected by Gis, Frillite was strong.
She avoided him easily, as if she knew where he would attack.
All upto the next 4 consecutive attacks.
Just like in the past, she was a woman against whom they weren't capable of winning even if he, Lorian, and Cloud attacked together.
'Yes, she has to be of this level to give a meaning of defeating her.'
Only if Frillite is defeated, will he become the greatest Hero on the continent, in both name and reality.
Then, no one will be able to meddle in what he does.
The smile did not disappear from Gis' face.
Even though his attacks couldn't even touch Frilite's figure right now, it was okay.
Because he had a trump card on him.
44 consecutive Reaper's Strike.
It was a skill he had learned from a now retired, legendary assassin.
Gis might not have been able to see even his shadow in this lifetime, but he had the strong support of his adoptive mother and the Zarakh Society to which she belonged.
'Even if it's Frillite, as long as she is human, she won't be able to dodge this.'
Because this skill was created by the legendary assassin only to kill humans.

Chapter 42.2: Imperial Social Banquet (4)
Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero
T/L: Lore_Temple (foxaholic) Proofreader: DreaMing
Gis made preparations in advance to use the 44 consecutive Reaper's Strike.
This skill is very powerful, but at a cost.
It is a skill that reduces your consciousness by half and explodes all the energy present inside your body to launch 44 consecutive strikes instantly.
Gis' eyes were filled with murderous intent.
His heart was beating fast, and his blood began to pump rapidly.
Preparation—complete!
Now all he has to do is to pour it all out.
"Try to avoid this too, Frillite!!!"
Gis, who was half-conscious, buried in murderous intent, poured out an onslaught of merciless attacks on Frillite.
It was destructive and savage, and, ironically, beautiful.
10th strike.
26th strike.
Even after the 37th strike.
His dagger still couldn't even touch Frillite's shadow. She was dodging his attacks as nimbly as before.
Gis was greatly embarrassed by that.
He knew that there was a gap between Frillite and himself.
But it was this much?
So much that he couldn't leave a scratch on her, even after giving his all?
"Don't think that's it!"
Gis continued his streak by further abusing his tired body. The rest of the attacks became sharper than before, but that's all there was to it.
Even though Gis' 44th consecutive Reaper's Strike was over, Frillite didn't shed a single drop of blood.
"Damn it… F**k…!"
Having expended all his strength, Gis placed his hands on his thighs and took deep gasps. He no longer had the strength to even hold the dagger's hilt.
"Is that all?"
Gis raised his head.
Frillite, who did not show a single expression throughout the fight, now did.
"It was okay."
She looked down at Gis with a calm expression.
Cruuch-!
Gis grinded his teeth.
"This bi-"
Just when he was about to squeeze out the last bits of power he was holding onto, and attack Frillite.
He felt a massive impact on his stomach.
He flew back and miserably rolled on the ground.
"Gakh…!"
With just one kick.
Gis fell over and couldn't get up.
The reason was simple.
It was because the moment Frillite kicked Gis, a wave of strong energy cascaded into his body.
You have to react to energy with energy.
Exhausted and weary, Gis couldn't respond, and as a result his organs were severely damaged.
Tuk. Tuk. Tuk.
Frillite slowly walked towards Gis who was struggling on the floor. She stepped on Gis' chest as he tried to stand up somehow.
"Ugh!!"
Blood spurted out of Gis' mouth with a groan. Either way, Frillite also trampled on his arms.
Cluck-!
His arms were clearly broken.
Gis' painful groan grew stronger, but Frillite didn't care. She said, still looking down with an indifferent expression.
"Not a single thing has changed from before, Gis. You are still full of holes. As I thought, you must have neglected your training because you were totally drunk on your promiscuous lifestyle."
"Shut up… Shut up…"
"You have been harassing innocent women and intimidating common people's wives. You had a journey where you didn't show one single characteristic that matches up to your identity as a Hero. Still, I didn't give you a heavy warning. Do you know why?"
"No… I'm not even curious, damn…"
"Because you are a Hero. I had previously sworn to uphold the tradition of the Heroes. So, I was reluctant to quarrel with another Hero. I feared that if I intervened, it will become difficult to keep my oath. By the way…"
Frillite sighed and shook her head.
"Looking at you now makes me skeptical. I shouldn't have made that oath."
"Cough, haha… Then, I should thank you. You are not explaining to me in such detail… to just kill me…"
"Yeah, I'm not going to kill you. I will not punish you for your arrogant behavior as long as you don't cross the line. To keep my oath."
"Great.. Cough, cough… Thank you so much.. ha ha.."
"However, after defeating the Demon King as per the tradition, what if peace comes back to the continent? Should I keep you alive then? A parasite that does not contributes to the peace, but rather eats the continent?"
"…"
Gis' expression hardened.
Frillite released the strength from her foot that was pressing on his chest.
"I left your legs behind, so you should be able to walk. Get back to your residence on your own."
Frillite turned her back on Gis. He muttered under his breath, staring at her back.
"B!tch… Do you think you would be able to do the same…after I have the power to defeat the Demon King? You and that Cloud bastard… Before defeating the Demon King, I'll…"
"Oh, I forgot to add something."
Suddenly, Frillite turned back and strode towards Gis.
She held her sword upside down and stuck it neatly into Gis' stomach.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!"
F**k Off! F**k Off! F**k Off!
You lair! You said you won't kill!
You two bastards are exactly the same!!!
Gis screamed both from his mouth and in his heart.
Frillite added what she had forgotten.
"If there comes a time when I have to break my oath to protect what and whom I treasure, I will gladly do it. I hope you can understand. Hero, Gis."
Slurk-!
Frillite drew out her greatsword.
It was pulled out so neatly that Gis' guts couldn't even feel the movement.
She retrieved a potion from in between her arms and sprinkled it on Gis' punctured stomach.
"It is a high-quality potion even among advanced ones. Don't worry, you won't die, when you get back, get the treatment from your party members."
"Ahhhh… Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! F****k!!"
Gis let out a terrifying scream filled with terrible pain because of the granulation of new tissues.
This time, Frillite really turned her back on Gis.
"Frillite."
Cloud, leaning against the pillar at the entrance of the inn, called out her name. Frillite rolled her eyes.
"Cloud, can you grow your sense of danger? You don't know just how dangerous the situation was for you. Thankfully, you didn't get injured by the flying daggers' fragments…"
"I am afraid of you."
"…"
Frillite's mouth was tightly shut.
She felt slightly hurt.
