I went out of the forest at night
In my view was trees. I walked straight forward in hopes of finding a road
After walking for a while I got to a road
I put my hand on my face and shake my head
"Gah!" A man was sliced on the arm. He was holding the sword and was accompanied by men protecting a family in the middle of a circle . The family consisted of 2 males and 2 females
"Uthur" I called out
"Yeah, yeah I know"
My hair color and eyes changed color then Uthur stood up
He walked over to the the bandits
"Yawn...hey, can you guy's stop and leave right now?" Uthur unsheated his sword and put his hand on his mouth to cover the yawn
"Huh~? Who are you!" A bandit said menancingly
"Arthur Lagann. Now, who are you?" Uthur introduce himself and asked
"Hah~!?" He retorted pissed
"So you gonna leave or you gonna die?" Uthur asked
"Heh~? You sure are an arrogant brat" he walked over to Uthur then he held up his sword ver his head with one hand
"Dont!" A man from the guards shouted
The bandit ignored the mans shouting to 'stop'
"Haaaaaaah!" He unleashed an attack
Uthur sighs
Uthur walked to the side unleashing an attack the same time
"Hmm? Eh?" The man's head fell to the ground. It was cut so swiftly and cleanly he stillkept his consiousness
"You guys, will you make the same mistake? You should know if you attempt to kill be ready to be killed okay?" Uthur told with a bored face
"Y-you bastard!"
With a disgusted face, Uthur said "Uhh~! The clique! Can't you say anything else?"
The man who said the clique ran towards Uthur and unleashed an attack
Uthur stepped back dodging the slash then cut off the man arms and legs
"Gah! Gyaaaaaaah—"
Uthur looked over to the suprised and scared guards and family
"...! Oh, um, sorry about that. I should end it here"
"Oh, um no, sorry" the others also said 'Sorry'
We understood why they said that so with a smile on my face He said "No, it's okay. They are scum need to be culled from the face of the planet"
After saying that Uthur went and unleashed attacks
Swish swish swish
Uthur dissapeared to their eyes, but he was just using a large amount of mana to enhance his body that he looked like he dissapeared.
Arthur thought 'this is going ti take a toll on my body'
Uthur in a swift and clean motion, swiflty cut off the heads and slash down their bodies.
Uthur then switched back with Arthur
I proceeded to burn their bodies down with blue flames and a barrier made of air to contain the smell of burning flesh
I looked at the family and guards. The guards we're in awe and suprised, the kids we're trembling the adults we're holding them tight
I walked over to them, the adults held them tighter. The guards we're frozen in fear
I took out something from my storage then leaned forward
"Hey, little girl pls don't be scared. If you do that you'll get this as a reward"
I showed the girl a piece of chewy caramel candy
The girl straightened up and I gave her the candy
I patted her on the head
I looked over to the boy and showed him some manga
I gave him the manga for being quiet
I stepped back then saw the womans pendant. It was perfect for being a magic tool
"Hey can I borrow that for a sec"
I pointed at the pendant. She gave it to me
I then proceeded to create a magic tool
"Um what...what are you doing?" The man asked
I looked at him and answered
"Oh, nothing of any sorts" I made a jestful retort with a jestful hand movement
"Oh! It's finished"
I threw the pendant back to them. The man caught it
"Think of the place we're you need to go and put some mana into the pendant. It'll create a portal to what you think"
"...! T-this is too expensive! Pls wait and oet us repay you!"
"No need, keep it, give it to the girl or your wife for all I care"
I then went back imto the forest
'I wonder what the others are doing right now?' I thought
.
"Arthur...Lagann was it?" The man said
"Yes, your highness. That was his name" the guard confirmed it
"Wasn't that the family name of the hero?"
"Yes!"
"I see," the man looked at his daughter "I see" he thought of getting those two engaged but there was a problem
"After the war the treaty for mankind's survival was diminished and barely any countries stayed in peace"
After the hero's defeated the demon king the treaty was deminished and the peace only lasted for 3 years before the human countries went to war with each other over pride profit and power.
Most countries are in a union headed by the depelthia empire and other countries are currently in a state civil war and only a select few countries who were strong enough to survive against the demon king army by themselves were at peace.
"Let's see what we can do" the woman said
The countries that survived the demon king army on their own we're
Armed nation Dwargon
Sorcery dynasty Sarion
The holy land of the destroyer
...etc.
The world is large and only half of it was stolen by the great demon king and the other half was either owned and protected by other demon kings or had strong enough people on par with the 7 heroes to defend themselves
