Chapter 11: Perspective of the Hero, Grathias
In the plains stands a gigantic demonic creature. It has four legs and wings on its body. It takes the form of a beast, known as a Behemoth.
According to legends, parties that have fought against Behemoths have been completely wiped out. Normally, if one is discovered, the guild is immediately informed.
But how long has it been here, so close to the capital city?
Well, for now, the details don't matter. We need to defeat it quickly, or the capital will be in danger.
I prepare my sword.
"Here it comes!!!"
*Dogaahhhhh!*
*Dogaahhhhh!*
I swiftly dodge as the Behemoth charges towards me.
The ground shakes, as if an earthquake has struck!
If it steps on me, it's instant death!
"Behemoth, taste the Hero's sword! Flamebrand!!"
I slash my sword against the body of the Behemoth!
*Zagiinnnn!*
My sword hits!
Hahaha, Behemoth, even after receiving the blow from the strongest Hero's sword!
It must hurt, it must hurt. Well, of course, it's the strongest sword, the Hero's sword.
Naturally, an intense pain courses through with a single strike!
"W-Why? The Behemoth remains calm! Even after being cut by my sword, it remains calm!"
"What's wrong, Grathias? It didn't cut properly!"
That can't be!
I definitely struck it, and I felt the impact!
Something is off.
"Then, I'll use my magic."
"Misha, I'm counting on you."
"Behemoth, here's my ice magic. Ice Bullet!!"
*Daaaahhh!*
*Daaaahhh!*
Misha is a mage, and she excels in offensive magic.
Ice bullets are fired.
They hit the Behemoth!
*Gyaaaahhhhh!*
That was the Behemoth's cry.
Strange, Misha's magic is effective.
Why doesn't my sword work?
"Great job, Misha! Nice!"
"That's right, Grathias, I'm counting on you too!"
"Leave it to me. If I strike, the Behemoth will suffer! Flamebrand!!!!!!"
Once again, I go in for the attack with Flamebrand, and there's a clear impact!
It's alright. This time, the Behemoth will scream in agony.
After all, it has already endured the blow from the sword of a hero twice.
