He expected this when he saw the bodies of the trolls.
It was very much like this monster's way of eating.
The monster that ruled the Devil’s forest was none other than the daughter of the monster queen, Silatuna.
Originally, she was a terrible disaster that could destroy a country alone.
But now she was not in her best condition.
Her body was crushed, and she was barely able to retain her original appearance.
The head, which once exuded shuddering magic power, was torn off in half.
Compared to the past, she had degraded into an insignificant monster.
'As expected, the mana in Alby's left eye belongs to the Fairy King.'
Fairies.
A high-ranking creature that has been with the Elves since the distant past.
The Fairies were palm-sized beings with powerful magical powers and transparent wings.
Since Elves were the only ones that could have contracts with fairies, it was very rare to see them in the human world.
Talatunia ate the Fairy King's right hand 5000 years ago.
Luna couldn’t forgive Talatunia for messing up her hometown and eating the Fairy King's right hand.
Thus the Spider Princess, who was capable of destroying a country by herself, was killed by the [Creator of Nebula Magic].
But now thousands of years have passed.
Talatunia was still alive.
The reason was simple.
'It's in her stomach.'
The Ring of Life, a symbol of the fairy king.
The ring that grants infinite Life-force was eaten by Talatunia along with the Fairy King's hand.
Leo tightly gripped his sword.
He then took a throwing stance and threw his sword.
Wee-a-a-a-aek!
BANG!
Kyaeeeeeaeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Talatunia screamed as Leo's sword struck its head.
Then he came next to Celia and said,
"You look tired.”
“Back off, Leo. You, who can't even use aura is no match for it.”
Blades of wind dropped from the sky and struck Talatunia.
Talatunia, who was struggling with pain, looked into the air and then jumped with a scream.
Thanks to its tremendous leaping power, it reached Abad in an instant.
[Wind Break!]
Chelsi followed up and threw the magic she had cast.
BOOM
BAM BAM-!
The blades of the raging wind struck Talatunia.
Talatunia fell to the ground after failing to attack Abad due to Chelsi's obstruction.
Kiieeeeeeeeeeee-!
BOOOOOOM
The earth shook as Talatunia’s gigantic body hit the ground.
“Brother, are you okay?”
“Thanks, Chelsi.”
Abad, who smiled at her sister, came down to the ground.
Because he judged that it could be dangerous to be in the air.
Other students followed up and surrounded Talatunia.
“How could we defeat this monster?”
Leo asked as Abad muttered in a serious voice.
“Did it recover from any kind of wounds?”
"Yes. Even the best magic I used didn't work."
“The same goes for my attacks.”
Celia sighed.
"Really? Then we shall use the simple solution."
"What?"
“If you can’t defeat it alone, then we have to work together. It's a very simple solution, right?"
“Leo, this butter boy and I are competing.”
"Why is my brother Butter boy?"
Chelsi, who stood next to her, became furious.
"This time, I too agree with Celia's words. Whoever destroys that monster first shall be victorious."
Hearing their words, Leo showed a dejected expression.
“What if you can’t defeat it?”
"What?"
"What if that monster could be resurrected indefinitely? So what if your aura and mana get depleted first?"
Leo spoke calmly as he saw Talatunia, who revealed her will to live.
“If the task is to conquer the world of heroes, all of us will be eliminated when we fail to defeat it.”
"Nonsense! If my brother and Celia Gerdinger can't defeat that monster, then there's no one here who could defeat it. Then the entire test is wrong.”
Chelsi pursed her lips and retorted angrily.
But Celia and Abad couldn't argue with Leo's statement.
Surely it would be unfair to be eliminated for not being able to defeat that monster.
But the world was inherently unfair.
"Even if we join forces, it will take time to complete an attack that would instantly kill that monster."
Despite being attacked by 30 students, Talatunia remained unharmed.
On the contrary, the candidates were being pushed out.
It was clear that it would not take long before they collapsed.
Seeing this, Celia asked in a serious voice.
“How can anyone hold that monster during that time?”
Abad glanced at his sister Chelsi.
'Chelsi is also not good enough.'
If she were to make a mistake, she would lose her life.
The world of heroes was a fictional world.
However, death here directly leads to death in reality.
Looking at the two of them showing serious expressions, Leo smiled.
“I will hold it.”
"What?"
“I can stop it for about five minutes.”
“That’s suicide! You can’t even use aura!”
“That’s why…, 5 minutes is my limit.”
Leo turned around.
"So, prepare your best attack during that five minutes."
“What if the combined attack after 5 minutes fails?”
Abad asked coldly.
Hearing that, Leo giggled.
“Then we all fail together. But I don't think we will fail.”
"Why?"
"Fire and wind have been friends for a long time. It's because they are interlinked."
Leo, who spoke leisurely, walked toward Talatunia.
Seeing that, Celia said.
"Get ready, Abad."
“Um… To think we would be working together in a place like this.”
