"This Darius is clearly a bad egg from the start!"
"His end must be extremely miserable!"
Everyone who saw Darius's face felt disgusted; it was just as revolting as the Celestial Dragons!
The Celestial Dragons: "???"
All the proud Celestial Dragons are about to be killed off, give them a break!
Mushoku Tensei World
"It's over! It's over! It's all over!"
Darius collapsed on the ground in despair, too scared to move.
His life was about to come to an end.
"No! I can't die!"
"Someone! Pay a huge sum to hire experts for me!"
Darius panicked to the extreme. He never expected the light screen to expose him.
Now, Dead End's reputation was too great.
The people in his territory regarded the Superd tribe as heroes of the children.
Now that he was exposed, the kingdom might hand him over to protect itself!
Just as he was in despair, the world before his eyes turned into a vast, white space...
Inside the Inn
Eris looked at this scene in disbelief.
"Impossible... How could Grandpa...?"
"Ahhh!!!"
Eris clutched her head and screamed uncontrollably.
Her beloved grandfather had left her so suddenly, and she hadn't even known.
"Rudeus... My grandfather..."
Tears in her eyes, Eris gripped Rudeus's hands tightly.
"It's okay... it's okay... Maybe this is something from the future..."
Rudeus kept comforting her, though perhaps it was true.
But why did Sauros take the blame for the teleportation incident? There must be someone else behind it.
After a while.
Eris rubbed her swollen, tear-filled eyes and became more determined.
She wanted to become stronger and avenge her grandfather!
"Darius!!!"
She would definitely personally kill the guy who sentenced her grandfather with a smile!....
[Screen Continues]
[Rudeus and the others lived in the beastman village for a while...]
[Jyes, the son of the beastman chieftain, also learned that Kishirika was still alive....]
[But he believed Kishirika was a stain on their tribe, a traitor who had left the forest and abandoned her people!]
[Eris was very unwilling to hear this. Kishirika was her teacher and the person she respected most!]
[Even her own brother couldn't speak badly of her!]
[Jyes couldn't believe that Kishirika would become someone respected and looked up to by others!]
[This was completely different from his impression of Kishirika as a muscle-brained idiot....]
[Not only had she learned arithmetic, she had also learned magic, and had become the feared Black Wolf Sword King!]
[Every piece of news shocked Jyes. It turned out he was the clown....].....
Many people in the beastman village now worshipped Kishirika and saw her as a hero of their tribe.
After all, she was a Sword King, a powerful figure in the hearts of the children!
"Jyes, have you learned arithmetic?"
The old chieftain twisted Jyes's ear. This brother was truly incompetent, only thinking about muscles all day!
"Study... I have!"
Jyes cried out in pain. He could have learned a lot of arithmetic under Lord Rudeus's guidance!
"What is two plus two?"
Jyes counted on his fingers, scratching his head and thinking hard.
"Four sticks..."
"Are you sure?"
"Um... It should be four..."
"Are you sure?!"
"Ah, no... It's five!"
The old chieftain's stick hit Jyes directly on the head.
"Fool! It's four!"
The feeling of an old father teaching his son a lesson was, how to put it, a little satisfying?...
[On Screen]
[The group prepared to set off; they had stayed long enough....]
[Rudeus also wanted to take Eris home...]
[Before leaving, Eris challenged Jyes to a duel...]
[Rudeus watched the scene excitedly. This was the first time he had seen a so-called duel in this world....]
[The two faced off for a few seconds, then moved in the blink of an eye....]
[Clang!]
[Their blades met, both sides passed each other, and each stopped at the other's original position....]
[The result ended in Eris's defeat...]
[Rudeus looked at the outcome in confusion; it was over too quickly!]...
"Is this a duel?"
Martial arts masters all over pointed out that this was more like a sparring match!
But the sparring was over too fast; they couldn't understand it at all!....
[On Screen]
[The monkey-faced man shamelessly boarded the carriage and asked to be taken along...]
[On the way, they saw the stone monuments of the Seven Great Powers....]
[Rudeus learned from the monkey that these were the seven strongest individuals in legend. No, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them gods....]
[Their existence had already transcended the realm of mortals...]
[The rankings of the Seven Great Powers are:...]
[1st Place: Technique God]
[2nd Place: Dragon God]
[3rd Place: Fighting God]
[4th Place: Demon God]
[5th Place: Death God]
[6th Place: Sword God]
[7th Place: North God]
[Ruijerd showed a look of yearning. When he was young, he had also wanted to become one of the Seven Great Powers....]
["Couldn't even Ruijerd defeat those people?"]
[Eris was very surprised. After all, the strongest person she had encountered so far was Ruijerd....]
["I don't know... But my name isn't on there..."]
[Ruijerd said ruefully...]
[Eris really wanted to see them, but the monkey said no one knew if the first four were even alive or dead....]...
The Dragon God looked at this ranking with disdain. He didn't care about the other powers at all.
Even if they all appeared before him, he would still take them on!
"The silver-haired man from before was probably one of the Seven Great Powers...."
"After all, even the Red Dragons were driven away by his glare!"
People couldn't forget the silver-haired man. His aura was just too overwhelming.
Aside from the Seven Great Powers, they couldn't think of anyone else it could be.
They just didn't know which Great Power he was!
"Why isn't that Man-God on this ranking?"
Everyone thought of the Man-God who kept appearing in Rudeus's spiritual world.
"Who knows, this is beyond our understanding!"
"Maybe this Man-God is self-proclaimed!"
The legends of the Seven Great Powers were widely spread throughout the world, with many different versions.
Some said the Technique God and the Demon God were the same person, a split existence from a war between humans and demons!
Some said the Fighting God was a suit of armor; whoever wore it would become the 3rd ranked Fighting God!
Some said the Dragon God had died long ago.
Various legends were mixed with truth and falsehood, and no one knew what the real story was.
Discussing it now was just reminiscing about legends, not to mention these weren't things ordinary people like them could casually discuss!....
[On Screen]
[The carriage moved farther away. The stone monument, which should only record the emblems of the Seven Great Powers, had a faint, indistinct mark in the middle....]
[A few days later, they finally arrived at the Milis Kingdom, where the monkey-faced man also parted ways with them....]
[He told Rudeus it would be best to report to the Adventurer's Guild...]
[But Rudeus was just a little confused and didn't take it to heart....]...
"If only I could have found news of everyone in time..."
Rudeus hadn't expected others to be teleported to the Demon Continent.
It wasn't so much that he didn't think about it, but that he didn't have the luxury to think about it that much.
He was barely able to protect Eris and bring her back safely...
[On Screen]
[Rudeus wanted to write a letter to Paul, since he had returned to human territory...]
[But at that moment, several figures rushed past quickly, carrying sacks on their shoulders—it looked like there were people inside....]
[Rudeus helplessly chased after them, preparing to rescue them...]
[During the rescue, he unexpectedly ran into Paul...]
[At this time, Paul was no longer as high-spirited as before. Instead, his face was covered in stubble, and he looked very disheveled....]...
"It's really not easy for father and son to meet after a long separation...."
"Why is Paul like this?"
"Could it be that no one else was found?"
Everyone thought they would see a warm reunion scene between father and son, like in many stories.
But some sensed something was wrong; an argument between the two was likely....
[On Screen]
[Rudeus and Paul sat facing each other...]
[There was no imagined scene of a father and son embracing after years apart....]
[Instead, the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive...]
[To break the ice, Rudeus vividly recounted his experiences and what he had seen on the Demon Continent....]
[But Paul's face grew uglier as he listened. He stared at Rudy and scolded him for why he hadn't looked for information about the others....]
[Rudeus was confused. He hadn't expected so many people to be missing....]
[Neither Zenith, nor Lilia, nor Aisha had been found; there wasn't even a trace of news....]
[This made the already difficult reunion between father and son become tense...]
[Paul angrily slapped Rudy across the face...]
[The two of them started fighting like that...]
[When Norn saw her father being hit, she looked at Rudeus with tearful, hate-filled eyes. She hated her brother so much....]
["Don't bully Dad!"]
[In despair, Rudeus left the tavern and parted ways with Paul...]
