Chapter 55: Perspective of Hero Grathias
Feenel warned me.
That's true.
Swordsmanship is completely ineffective.
I can't say that!
If I do, I'll be seen as a coward.
How can I say, "I won't fight because swordsmanship doesn't work," even if I die?
"It didn't work. But there's no choice but to do it, given the expectations placed on me. I have no choice but to do it. Please, Feenel, support me. I'll also need healing magic. You don't have to do it for Misha. I take top priority."
Misha's attacks are effective, and she can handle herself.
I can't do that.
Swordsmanship doesn't work, and using swordsmanship for defense was completely useless.
To put it simply, it's like reverting to my old swordsmanship.
Back when I was a novice adventurer, my swordsmanship was still immature.
But I've grown and gained experience, becoming a hero.
The strongest swordsman!
Watch me, I'll show you the swordsmanship of a hero!
"Top priority, huh? Ignore Misha?"
"Misha should be fine. It's just me who's in trouble."
"Got it. I'll support Grathias."
"Thank you, Feenel."
I promised Feenel to support me instead of Misha.
Of course, Misha doesn't know about this.
She would get angry if she knew this story.
I can't act scared when facing the Behemoth. That's not like me.
I'll show the strength of a hero, even as a B-rank adventurer.
"Ooooh, Grathias is going!"
Cheers from the B-rankers.
I don't need them.
Misha is fighting alone.
"What are you waiting for!! I'm fighting alone here. Hurry up and join the battle, Grathias!"
Misha, who can fight the Behemoth, is strong.
I admit that.
But being the strongest is a one-man job.
Only I can say that.
I am the strongest!
Once I defeat the Behemoth, everyone will recognize me.
"I'm going now. Watch me, and receive the Blazing Holy Sword!!"
Even with my swordsmanship, it's the ultimate technique.
Flames envelop the sword, and the cut opponent is incinerated by the intense heat.
While running toward the Behemoth, I strike the ground with my sword!
Stab!
Stab!
Stab!
I slash several times.
All monsters meet their end with this slash.
The Behemoth is no exception!
I am the strongest!
I can hear the Behemoth's crying and screaming!
