Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 187 - WEAKNESS
“I never heard of a man who became witch.”
As he said that, Helios stared intently at Noel Dumberman.
“And you have seen one of them, right in front of you.”
Helios' gaze seemed to hint at the disbelief behind Noel Dumberman's words.
“Are you really a guy who can sorcery? Or maybe you mean you're a demon summoner?”
Helios asked because sorcery was not something a man who had a straight mana flow pattern could do compared to a woman who was more likely to be round and branched. If it was a man, it would be at least a demon summoner-stage sorcery that he could do as Damian had done before. To this day, it is impossible for a man to be a witch.
“Hey, hey, hey, even if I can't be as handsome as your face, I'll still be hurt if you doubt my gender. It doesn't mean that I can reveal my secret area to you, does it? So how about we prove it through sparring?”
-swosh.
For a moment Helios let his guard down, Yasmin was trapped inside the noel Dumberman object.
“You? What are you doing?”
“I just don't want our sparring interrupted by anyone. No meaning sparring right if there is a bully from the outside?”
“…”
Noel Dumberman long stared at Helios from behind his sinister scales before he finally came down from the top of the tree.
“It's annoying every time I see your handsome face. That's how you get every woman to serve you?”
“Whatever you are, I don't like what you say.”
“Well, what can this ugly person say. Not that if envious, I can get the same fondness.”
It was there that Helios noticed carefully that what was on Noel Dumberman's face was not a mask, but genuine scales.
“You? Not human?”
“Hahahahahahaha. Not a human being? Right, I can't say man now since I united with the remains of this dragon's corpse for the sake of strength.”
“So so apparently. You have sacrificed your humanity for power. Now I understand a little how you can do sorcery.”
Helios said that while glancing towards the object wrapped around the sorcery that ensnared Yasmin who had just been created by Noel Dumberman.
“If you unite with a dragon heart full of mana to die, it is indeed possible.”
“Your knowledge is absolutely brilliant yes, apparently.”
“But there's one more I want to confirm.”
“And what is it?”
“Why are your hair, your eyes, also your voice, so similar to Leon, my sister.”
Helios' gaze once again sharpened in front of Noel Dumberman.
But Noel Dumberman just tilted his head while making a foolish expression in confusion.
“Leon? Who'sis that? Oh, that's not important. I want to fight with you anyway. I heard all this time you were just fighting in the back by handing over your front to your confidant, Albert, who died for betraying you. But it's wrong, isn't it? You just don't want your men's confidence to go away, so you pretend to be weak with a sword. You are even better than him.”
“…”
Helios was silent. Samar sounded, but it seemed that Helios was gnashing her teeth furiously.
“Albert never betrayed me! And don't mention his name with your dirty mouth!”
Helios is actually still doubtful about the identity of Noel Dumberman who could have been Leon. Not only hair color, eye color, upper face stature, voice, attitude that sucks was also the same. However, Helios was unable to contain his anger when Noel Dumberman said as if insulting Albert.
“How about this. I'll apologize as much as you want to if you manage to beat me.”
“It's wrong. If you lose, you must apologize to Albert himself in the afterlife!”
Helios summoned his sword of aura and without further ado struck Noel Dumberman's chest. Unexpectedly, that part of his body was so hard about being protected by dragon scales. It was completely unscathed by the sharpness of Helios' sword which had managed to split the body of a grandmaster 4 years ago.
“Your spirit can too. I guess it was from a hero. In that case, I won't hesitate either.”
It was a battle of swords and claws. Helios was great, but Noel Dumberman could easily compensate for Helios' strength.
Noel Dumberman slid the direction of the claw into the lower body of Helios while locking his sword with the other claw.
To avoid the scratch, Helios salto then kick Noel Dumberman right in the face area. Noel Dumberman was not in pain at all, even Helios's leg kicked him which was precisely the blood.
But it soon healed thanks to the hero's automatic recovery ability.
Helios again drew out his sword of aura. He surrounded Noel Dumberman's body to stand on his blind spot on the left where his left eye had been replaced by a reptilian eye that had poor vision.
In response to the attack on his blind spot, Noel Dumberman released a miasma that can instantly degrade normal skin if exposed in the area of the blind spot.
Helios did not give up. This time he relied on speed while being supported by his ice moves. Shot after shot was fired at Noel Dumberman, but it also did not erode his extremely hard scales at all.
“Sial! That's so loud.”
Noel Dumberman who could listen to Helios mutter very well smiled.
“Of course since dragon scales are known as the hardest objects even exceeding the hardness of metal mithril.”
“Then, is it my turn? You better be able to withstand my attack!”
This time, it was Noel Dumberman who advanced with his sharp claws towards Helios. Helios repelled it with his sword of aura. It managed to hold him back, although Helios had to bounce back three centimeters.
Noel Dumberman repeatedly and nimbly floated his claws there and here in every nook and cranny of Helios' body. Many times, Helios was able to defend with his sword of aura. Unfortunately, Helios was the one who continued to be pushed back by the nimbleness of Noel Dumberman.
Helios is strong, even able to defeat the world grandmaster like Ethanus, but he must still bend his knees in front of the power of the overpowering Noel Dumberman. Noel Dumberman excelled both in attack and in protection compared to Helios.
Helios slowly grew weary, but on the other hand, Noel Dumberman showed no signs of exhaustion.
“Is it all the power of a hero? Let's show me something more.”
Helios could only grimace in the face of Noel Dumberman's contemptuous eyes.
“It turns out I was wrong. I'm very weak.”
“Hah, you just realized that now? If you had considered me strong, you would have only been slaughtered by the Demon King immediately when the day of the battle agreement arrived.”
“Day of the fight agreement?”
“Didn't you know anything about that at all? What a pathetic hero! In essence, this power of mine is nothing even before the absolute power of the Demon King. If you're gonna deal with it, you better practice a lot. Well, although I also doubt as much as you practice you will be able to defeat him.”
“…”
“Ya, stop. Since I already knew of your abilities that turned out to be so weak, I should now return immediately. Lady Isis had also called me earlier. After all, we are actually forbidden to kill the hero, so I cannot kill you in this place either. Well, good luck facing the Demon King if the time comes.”
“…”
“Oh, yes. The Demon King has a little souvenir for you.”
Noel Dumberman, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped his steps and turned his head and said this to Helios.
“You, it's best to go south immediately before the disaster begins, Hero.”
That is how Noel Dumberman said before he actually left the place.
Helios immediately felt a bad feeling from Noel Dumberman's speech. Moreover, he uttered it with a meaningful cynical smile.
“Master!”
Yasmin, who finally detached from Noel Dumberman's object, immediately ran towards Helios to get her master who looked tired.
“Don't mind me. I'm doing fine. As soon as Doctor Minerva gets here, we have to move south. May my worries these be just unwarranted worries.”
***
Meanwhile, at the palace, one of the familiar messengers of Helios arrived. After getting the SOS message, Doctor Minerva immediately moved to the place where Helios showed her coordinates to pick her up.
Talia, Luciana, and Vierra finally breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that their husband was doing well. But it wasn't long. A moment later, Olo's report arrived saying that someone had destroyed the Apes dungeon.
Then it was followed by the emergence of a series of wild dungeons that were close to the area. Immediately the threat of a dungeon break struck the southern city.
