Asil and his friends are being beaten to a pulp by the Centaur King.

I'm not sure why ...... my sword doesn't work on him. ......?

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to do.　I'm not sure what to do.　We have to get out of here!

　Aileen called out desperately to Asil.
　But he didn't seem to be able to hear her.

　Irene seemed to still have a lot of strength left in her against the three devastated men.
　Watching the battle, she was just barely able to avoid the onslaught of the Centaur King.
　As a result, Irene alone could probably escape from the Centaur King.

　But...


"Whoa!　Scary scary scary!
How did we ever think we could beat this guy?
Hey, Assir!　What are you going to do about it?


　I don't think it's possible to escape from here with three baggage men ...... in a kind of panic.

"Goooooooooo!

　The centaur king looked down on Asil and the others as if he was assessing them.

　The Centaur King was looking down on Asil and the others as if he was assessing them, but the demon would not wait that long.
　The Centaur King raised his fist and was about to strike the men with it.

"Watch out!

　Irene reacted immediately.
　Irene leaped in front of Asil and the others and tried to protect them.

　Hmmm. I think it would be good for the men to be attacked by the Centaur King for once, just to take away their pride.
　But if we don't, he'll hit Irene.
　I don't care what happens to Asil and the others, but it's not nice to see her get beaten up by a sycophant. 　

"It can't be helped.

　I raise my right hand.
　I raise my right hand and place the Fire Spear on the right fist of the Centaur King, who is about to swing down.

"GOOOOOOOOO!

　The Centaur King let out a cry of pain as his right arm was burned away.

"What?

　Irene seemed to have no idea what was happening.

　I stood in front of Irene.

"Stay back. And ...... stop your habit of shutting your eyes in the middle of a fight. Unless you want to die.

　I patted her on the head and looked at the Centaur King.

　The Centaur King stared straight at me, anger in his eyes.

　Huh. I'm surprised you didn't immediately run away when you saw me.
It's no wonder he's called the Annihilation Class.

"Hey, hey, you!　I don't know what's going on, but get that demon out of here!
That's right, that's right!　Adventurers are supposed to cooperate, right?

　Asil and the others are shouting behind me.

They're very convenient men.

　Just a moment ago, they were saying, "We don't need to cooperate! Just a moment ago, they were saying, "We don't need to cooperate!
　This is what you do when you're in a tight spot.

"GOOOOOOOOO!
The Centaur King's body started to glow!

　Eileen shouts.
　The Centaur King released his red magic power and created over a dozen Fire Spears.
　And fired them simultaneously.
　They're coming for us.

　Shall we deploy warding magic to protect Irene and the others?
　No, this is .......

"No need.

　The spear of fire that was heading for Irene.

"Aah!

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　It was because she had been alert. This was predictable.
　Another thing that was predictable was .......

"Aaahhh!
"Oh, it's hot!
Ahhhh!　Oh, my God, help!

　It's Asil and the others.
　They thought I would protect them, but the Fire Spear hit them and burned their bodies with flames.
　Asil was sprawled out on the ground, desperately trying to put out the fire.

That's because you're careless. Keep your head down there.

　Pride leads to death.
　And I had no business helping men who hadn't been polite.
　Well, I guess I won't die.

Well, ......, let's get this over with.



　I draw the magic sword from its scabbard that I brought with me beforehand.
　I put magic power into the sword.
　When I looked at the Centaur King, I saw that the light of magic surrounding his body was gradually getting stronger.

It seems the time of awakening is near.

　There is magic power inside the Centaur King, and when it explodes, it will fully awaken.
　If this happens, it will use its nearly inexhaustible magic power to unleash a barrage of magic and become a nasty monster that can destroy cities.

　But...


"You think I'm going to wait for you to finish awakening?


　I raise my sword and flash the Centaur King.

　Through to the other side.
　The moment I landed on the ground, the Centaur King's body was cut in two.

What?　I'm not sure what to make of that.

　Seeing this, Irene shouts in surprise.

　But for me, it was boring.
　I put the sword in its sheath as I watched the Centaur King die.

"The Doomsday Class wasn't much to look at, was it?

　...

　After defeating the Centaur King, I returned to the guild.

"Well, that's Kurt!　Even the ...... guild didn't expect you to finish killing it so quickly!

　The receptionist's eyes widened and she jumped up and down with joy.
　Seeing this, the adventurers around her start to buzz.

"Wow, wow, ......, that's a SSS-ranked adventurer!
I've heard that he cleaned up the mess before the first team arrived!
"This Kurt guy is amazing!

　He's not an adventurer,......, but there's no point in getting caught up in that now.

Kurt. ......?　Where is Kurt?

　I'm not sure what to make of that.

　By the way, ...... now, the men are laid up in the hospital.
　To be honest, I could heal them right away if I used my healing magic, but that wouldn't make them feel any better.
　They must be fighting excruciating pain right now.
　It wouldn't hurt to give them a little moxa.

"Kurt is me.
"...... What?

　Eileen rolls her eyes.

Kurt's the guy who slayed the dragon that appeared in the ...... empire, right?
I don't know if he's a legend or not, but I'm pretty sure he slayed a dragon.
"............

　A moment of silence.

　Then Irene changed her tune.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah!　I've been on a quest with such an amazing person!　I thought you were strong!

　I thought I was strong!

　Apparently, he knew my name was Kurt, but not my face.

Oh, please shake my hand!
I'll do that as much as you want.

　I shook Irene's hand.

I shook Irene's hand and said, "Wow, ...... is amazing. I'm happier than I've ever been in my life.

　I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life." She looked at her hand and blushed.

　I just shook his hand, but he's so exaggerated.

You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web at ......, but for now, here are six hundred gold coins!　If you come to the guild in a week, we'll pay you everything. ...... How about that?
That's fine.

　I was not interested in the reward.
　I don't need it, but ...... I'll take what I can get.

Here.
Huh?

　He handed Irene a bag containing half of the 600 gold coins he had received from the guild.

This is for Irene.
...... But I didn't do anything.
"No, you didn't. You helped me. We'll split the money evenly.
No, no, no!　I can't take it!
Come on.

　I'll force it on you.

　They argue for a while, but then...

"Thank you, Kurt!　I'll remember this for a long time!　If you want, we can have another adventure together!

　I'll never forget this!

　It was fun to be with Irene, even if it was only for a short time. The men were just uncomfortable, though.
　With this in mind, they left the guild.
