Volume 5 Chapter 56 Ancient Legend
Finn felt the excitement building up inside him.
The Hero was right in front of him.
Shirogane, the strongest man who defeated the Demon Lord.
Finn had prepared meticulously for this day. His own magic, "Gajou (My Castle)," was powerful, but it was meaningless without substance. And having an army meant that the cost of maintaining it was always being consumed.
After all, maintaining an army of ten thousand for a year required an extraordinary cost. Moreover, during that time, ten thousand troops disappeared from the Sarnold Empire. To prevent other countries from realizing this, the Empire is likely adopting a bullish attitude toward them.
Anyway, Finn had been networking with many of his brothers and nobles to mobilize the Dragart (Dragon Claw Knights) for the Second God-Demon War.
Everything was for this day.
The Hero was strong.
Finn had praised Yuusuke as a guerilla or assassin, and he had no doubts about that one point. But the fact that he killed the Demon Lord was so heavy.
Even if Sarnold Empire deployed its strongest hero (Eiyuu), there was no chance of winning.
However, the strength of an army was different.
The army led by "Sign" and the subsequent powerful people had a power that far surpassed the hero.
Not participating in the God-Demon War did not mean that the Empire's army was weak.
On the contrary, Dragart, who had been training for the Demon Lord as well as the Hero of Centrarise and Thorn Princess (Eris), were the world's strongest army.
And Finn had not let his guard down since coming to Earth.
He had used the advantage of having many magicians to gather information from both the front and back.
As a result, he had identified Silver's true identity as Yamamoto Yuusuke, a student, and had recorded all the battles since meeting Saint Lisha.
He had created this stage for the sole purpose of destroying the Hero completely.
And now, Yuusuke was wearing armor in front of Finn.
Surging in jade magic wearing a silver armor.
Finn had also gathered a lot of information about this magic.
"'My True Name.'"
It produced an almost infinite amount of magic power and used it to strengthen the body. Sometimes, it seemed to form magic power into the shape of a weapon, but it mainly annihilated enemies with astonishing speed and physical strength.
It was a difficult magic to break, precisely because it was simple. But, in return, there were no hidden tricks.
And even though he had gained new power during the battle with "Distord Lord" Larkan Mines, but it was also the same type of ability.
"So, what are you going to do, Silver? Are you going to aim for the general alone, or are you coming to take my head?"
The difference between an army and a hero lay in the number of choices available.
The Dragarts are composed of seven squads led by each general. Each squad has a role such as special attack, defense, wide-area annihilation, and support, and they fight while changing positions according to the situation.
The army is a fluid beast. If Yuusuke rushes in from the front, the vanguard squad and the overall commander will stop him.
The man entrusted with the position of overall general of the Dragarts brought by Finn this time is Vice Ornette, also known as "White Sign" - Vice Ornette, Finn's true guardian and the strongest man in the Sarnold Empire.
The general who command the squad are also formidable individuals who have approached the level of "Sign," if not actually attained it. In the Centraris Kingdom, there was a knight named Glaive Oru Warbis in the past. Vice fought him many times in the past and drew with him. And he was not a "Sign" yet.
Besides, there are many strong people even if they do not awaken to Hero (Eiyuu) or Spiritual Penetration Art (Shinrei). In this army, such nameless heroes are waiting for their chance to shine.
Now, Yuusuke drew his sword facing them. The shining light reflected on the Bastard Sword that slayed the Demon Lord made the soldiers who saw the legendary sword nervous and excited.
At the same time, Finn felt that the time had come, and his heart was pounding as if it would burst.
"'Come, Sarnold. This sword is not a vague legend, engrave its weight on your body.'"
In the midst of a roaring sound like an earthquake, Yuusuke's voice resounded directly in his head.
"——!"
Finn's hand holding the railing made his veins bulge, and he wanted to scream for no reason.
He was now going to fight a Hero.
"Come, Silver! Let's put an end to the ancient legend!"
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The army roared loudly and held their weapons. The clash of metal and magic power mixed together, and the desire to kill swelled up.
How will Silver come and go?
In front of Finn's gaze, Yuusuke slowly lifted his sword and pointed the tip towards him. Finn felt an enormous amount of magic power wriggling under his armor.
"All troops, defensive magic formula!"
Vice's command echoed through the entire army through magic, and at the same time, white ash surged up to conceal the army. The moment the Hero's move was released, it was just one word.
"'Kneel!'"
The jade spirit became a thunder that ripped through the army and trampled through the ash curtain.
