▶Advice: It's said that repeating the mistake of a day becomes a fault. Although you did use violence against the princess in the 6th Playthrough, you didn't abandon her, did you? And what will you do about the golem you ordered at the Magic Kingdom?
Every point made by Miss Trainee was extremely acute and I couldn't think up any words to retort with.
"Nng… Right. There mustn't be mistakes."
I couldn't mistake the process if I wanted to reenact the triple-A grade in the 6th Playthrough, but if I were to meet the Demon King like this, it was possible that my report card would turn out differently. That was the one thing I had to avoid.
"Baekgu, turn around."
"Quuu-!"
I changed courses in the midst of flying to the middle continent in high spirits.
Once again I returned to the summit of Snowy Mountain M and there I saw Classmate A, who was frozen solid while thoughtlessly disclosing the secrets of a woman. Dropped next to him was Holy Sword 3, whose contract was released due to his death. I first collected the sword.
(Pleased to make your acquaintance, Sir Hero! Do not be surprised, as my voice is coming from the sword. I am a noble Elemental residing in the Holy Sword. In ancient times, I was a righteous Hero who stood up against the Demon King.)
Her self-introduction was very much grandiose, even though she was no more than a Hero who was defeated before even glimpsing Demon King Pedonar's face. For some reason, though, the way she spoke bothered me, and after pondering on it for several seconds, I realized that Holy Sword 3's manner of speech had become haughtier compared to the 6th Playthrough.
(I am utterly disappointed that my previous contractor committed the vulgar act of revealing the secrets of a woman. I hope that you will not…)
Hero injected the power of Dark Energy(Z) into wild Holy Sword.
(Kyaaah~?!)
It was amazingly effective!
(I was wrong. Please forgive me, Sir Hero, no—Master. I'll be obedient so please don't hurt me like just now, sob-sob!)
And thus Holy Sword 3 turned servile right away. Still, didn't she have too little grit for a former Hero?
▶Example: You can think of what you did like having put a person into a front load washing machine mixed with synthetic detergent and poop~
'That can't be helped then!'
I would've also gone mad if I went through the same thing.
▶Warning: Cadet Kang Han Soo! It's not good to put yourself down like that. You've already been living 7 years in a body mixed with Divinity and Dark Energy, haven't you?
'… Come to think of it, yeah?'
Although it was thanks to Black-Box's effect of being immune to chaos, I decided to chalk it up to me being great for now.
Afterward, I collected Holy Sword 3 which had turned docile. I did consider briefly whether to resurrect Classmate A, who had frozen to death while provoking his lover in his previous life, but as no other Hero had appeared in the 6th Playthrough, I decisively chose to exclude this variable. As for what to do next?
"Baekgu. Find the princess."
"Quu!"
It wasn't hard searching for her from above in the sky; I spotted one woman among the pure-white snow-covered ground. The Ice Princess, who had solved her power from going out of control, was desolately trudging down the mountain, heading for the closest village as I had expected.
▶Curious: Cadet Kang Han Soo. How did you know the princess would be going down this way?
'You curious, Miss Trainee Teacher?'
▶Affirmative: Yes! I'm honestly curious!
It was extremely simple. In my 1st Playthrough, the village where I had ignored the dissuasion of my former companions and disposed of the Ice Princess was precisely over in this direction.
From that day onwards, my relationship with those companions who had imperfections such as going out of control turned extremely bad, but I didn't feel regret as I had gotten rid of a serial killer and saved the village. Even now, I couldn't understand why I had to be criticized for this righteous deed that was only proper. But in any case…
Thump!
I had Baekgu land beside the Ice Princess in question.
"Sir Hero?!"
Even as she was suddenly taken aback, the Ice Princess turned a gaze that was eagerly expecting up at me. Giving two pats on Baekgu's head in an instruction for him to lower it, I spoke.
"Get on quickly before I change my mind."
"Okay!"
The Ice Princess seemed about to go mad from gratitude and she even showed signs of trying to secretly cuddle up to me, like a young lady heads over heels for an older man driving the latest sports car. She attempted to stick my arm between her cleavage.
"Hey. The smell's gonna stick to my clothes so stay away."
"I'm sorry…"
Keeping someone in suspense and then entertaining their request. This had to be the training method spoken by Classmate A, but I hadn't wanted to intentionally take the trouble of using such a petty method. It was similar to what the teaching staff did to me using a graduation certificate as pretext, after all.
We headed for the Magic Kingdom from Snowy Mountain M.

Although there was a momentary panic at the abrupt appearance of a white dragon above the Magic Kingdom's royal palace, I was able to smoothly get through the matter.
The king came out to give a greeting in person.
"Sir Hero always gives me a surprise. Taming a dragon of all things…"
"It's nothing much."
I replied honestly.
All you had to do was hold one by the throat and wipe its memories.
"Haha! And you are modest to boot. You have come in good time, Sir Hero. The golem you ordered has been completed recen… What?! You are—could you be…!"
The king was astonished at the sight of the Ice Princess beside me. She too recognized him.
"Royal Father… it is a relief to see you in good health."
"Ooh! My daughter…!"
And thus it became the sudden reunion between father and daughter. I had wondered as to which country's precious princess she was, but it turned out to be the Magic Kingdom.
On careful thought regarding the order of past events, the timing was just right as well. After the king passed away at the end of his illness and his brother ascended the throne, the line of supplies being sent to his niece living on Snowy Mountain M was cut off. The Ice Princess, who couldn't let herself starve to death, must have come down from the mountain and then lost herself in the village. I had eliminated her in the 1st Playthrough but still, I thought it was a wonder that she endured over a year, completely cut off from supplies.
"… Not bad."
What had to be acknowledged, had to be acknowledged; she was a princess with quite the fine tenacity.
"Divine Sir Hero! To think that not only did you treat my incurable disease, you also even saved the life of my daughter whom I had half given up on… I do not know how I should repay this favor."
Following his moving moment of reunion with the Ice Princess, the king repeatedly bowed his head to me with swollen eyes, to which I responded with a magnanimous smile.
"Don't be concerned over it, Your Majesty."
Whatever reward I asked for, all of it would be no more than antiques compared to the modern products of Earth. I also refused to be presented with the princess, since I was going to date a refined lady from my home planet!
The Ice Princess, who looked like a beggar, left the premises, being practically dragged out by the maids to preserve the dignity of the royal family, while I went with the King to the workshop of the magicians.
– Welcome, great Hero!
– Hello, Divine Sir Hero!
Palace Mages, then converted by the power of my Divinity or Dark Energy, greeted me. Although their abilities were equal to one finger of the Sage, a miracle could still occur when those fingers came together as they do now.
-> Race: Arch-Golem
-> Level: 930
-> Specialization: Temple Servant (Beauty → Physical Strength 1)
-> Skills: Physical Strength (A), Unbreakable Body (A), Slaughter (B), Captivity (B), Recovery (B) …
-> State: Connector, Standby
This was an excellent standard compared to Sage and that dummy was made in the 6th Pass. Now, if I implanted Divinity here, the Golem would be a peerless creation with the addition of a cheat code that is "immune to normal attacks."
– Please wait a minute, Sir Hero… Bring it here.
– Yes, Your Majesty.
At the request of the King, a servant brought a certain box.
At first glance, I could tell that there was something extremely valuable. Most of the treasures couldn't get my attention, but even I couldn't help but change my expression this time.
– Is this?.
I sensed familiar energy.
– I already have a Golem created to repay you for saving my life. From using a dragon's heart to a Tear of the Elven King… a lot of truly unusual materials were required to make it, all made possible by the influence of the Kingdom. However, saving my dear daughter was difficult to even with the influence of an entire nation. This is my expression of gratitude for that.
This appears to have been a national treasure passed down since the days when the Magic Kingdom was an empire.
"Wow… Thank you.
Praise the King for his generosity, he even donated an ancient treasure for his daughter!
The King spoke, opening the box:
– The beautiful Archmage who helped the First Hero of the legend was my ancestor. But it is said that since she refused to be a member of the harem, my ancestor refused the marriage and received it as a parting gift.
There was purple jade inside the box. Like a gem, it lacked external beauty, but I was immediately able to recognize its true value.
Suddenly, an angry inner voice sounded in my mind.
(I want to kill this obscene Saint and Princess!)
(Look only at me! Ignore those stupid women around you!)
(Why don't you understand my sincerity?)
(Love is like magic. Goodbye!)
Was it the voice of the ancestor that the King of the Magic Kingdom mentioned? He portrayed the transition from hot love to cold hate.
## © –> ## (B)
Without making a single squat, I level up my skill!
-> Type: Skill
-> Name: ##
-> Rank: B
-> A: ### #####
-> B: Destroy the target.
-> C: Defeat the target with oblivion.
-> D: Immunity to chaos.
-> E: Unable to destroy.
-> F: You won't forget.
The reason that the country with the most achievements in the field of magic in the world of Fantasy, in the past even reaching the unification of the northern continent, reached such a miserable state… was nothing more than this national treasure. The royal families ended up taking a "pernicious path" under the influence of this gem. The incurable disease of the king, the uncontrollable power of the Ice Princess, the incredible stupidity of princes and princesses… This female ancestor only created trouble for her descendants.
– Incredible…
I opened the lips of the Golem, who still lacked a soul, and fed him the national treasure, and then put the Holy Sword 3 into the slot. After that, the last steps were taken to complete it.
The golem containing the soul of a Hero from the past opened its eyes.
-> Race: Chaos Golem
-> Level: 930
-> Specialization : Hero (Exp 500%)
-> Skills: Divinity (SS), Destruction (SS), Chaos (SS), Physical Strength (S), Unbreakable Body (S) …
-> Condition: Holy Sword, Submission, Good even though the Golem looked much weaker than a super-robot, his abilities alone were so high that they could dishonor the Archangel. Perhaps due to the "software", his Specialization also changed to "Hero" … I immediately started checking the submission contract.
– Look me in the eyes. Who am I?
– My master!
Holy Sword 3, who received a body, answered clearly.
– Well, then…
I canceled the call of the Holy Sword 3.
The hero cannot wield two or more Holy Swords. In that case, what happens if you have a Golem that holds the Holy Sword?
The result was instant.
-> Race: Chaos Man
-> Level: 999+
-> Specialization: Hero (Exp 500%)
-> Skills: Divinity (Z), Blessing (Z), Dark Energy (Z), Invention (SSS), Taming (SS) …
-> State: Holy Sword, Holy, Golem
"Golem" has been added to my state. Although there was a glitch-like situation with a Hero wielding a Hero, I was very pleased as this was the original purpose of my experiment.
Preparations were completed.
– Should we go to the final stage of our adventure this time?
– Sir Hero! Wait!
After a quick wash and dressing with the help of the maids, the Ice Princess cried out in alarm as she came running to me. Her wet skin and hair, and a slender figure… They had a pretty good effect.
– What's the matter?
– At least for one night…
And after I still used the ice pack for one day, I rushed to the Demon Lord's castle on Paekgu's back.
Not even Miss Trainee stopped me this time.
*****
I've broken into the Master's castle five times Demons. Having learned the structure of the castle long ago, I boldly jumped out of the sky instead of going through the front door.
– Chosen Hero! I didn't expect a polite knock, but isn't it a sign of good manners to use the door designed to enter?!
The Demon Lord rebuked me for entering by breaking the ceiling.
– Is it so important now?
I imitated his behavior, radiating Dark Energy all over my body, reaching the transcendental region.
Realizing my intentions, the Demon Lord burst out laughing.
– Haha! Challenge me, the pinnacle of all evil! Oh Chosen Hero, I will teach you how foolish it was to renounce the power of love and friendship, choosing Dark Energy instead!
– By the way, where is Sosia?
– How did you find out the name of this child? Could it be that there is something between you? And without my knowledge… Hero! What is your relationship with my daughter? It can't be that you already have a child, is it? Is that a daughter? Son?
The Demon Lord quickly asked me a series of questions and thereby confirmed that Sosia was not here. If she was, he would have called her and asked directly. There was no doubt about that.
– Summon – Tin Can.
I summoned Golem D, who was holding Holy Sword 3.
-> Rebuke: To call such a handsome android a Tin Can…
"Never mind the trifling name, Miss Trainee. Instead, tell me how the Demon Lord's penalty will work if there are two Heroes in front of him?"
-> Daze: I-I don't know… Because this is my first encounter with this too…
Miss Trainee was puzzled, but there was no need to scold her for not knowing the answer. It was already clear, one had only to look at the Demon Lord, reeling from the subsequent fall of his Level.
– Is the Golem a Hero?
The Lord of The demons was shocked by the sudden appearance of two Heroes, but I didn't give him time to adjust. In the end, I didn't want to make the humiliating mistake I did in Play 6.
– Go!
– Yes, Master!
This was not the power of love and friendship – it was the power of science, which analyzed the enemy's weaknesses and precisely aimed at them.
– Kha?!
Holy Sword 2 and Holy Sword 3 pierced the body of the Demon Lord Pedonar. Since his penalty was not weakened as in Play 6, he didn't hold out against me.
& gt Dear Hero, was your adventure fun?
"Hmm… A little?"
-> The path of a real hero is really hard. But after finding the countless bonds that inspired you, you did not give up hope and continued to believe. You have known friendship and love, and after growing up together, you finally defeated the evil Demon Lord. Congratulations!
-> Let's take a look at your grades.
It's finally time to return to Earth.
