Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 430
Episode 430
“Be the king. You are young, strong and smart. Besides, the justification is enough…”
“I don’t do such troublesome places.”
At my words, Arcturus made an absurd expression.
But he soon regained his cool.
Humans need a central point.
Arcturus left those words and left.
Currently, humanity needs a pivot point. The most suitable person there was none other than Nara.
In fact, when the resistance army was re-formed and began to shout the victory, even those who were hiding as if they were dead raised their heads one by one and began to watch and sympathize with this place.
Being the king of mankind, it can’t be that funny.
Of course, it wasn’t something I cared about.
He seemed to want me to rise to the throne, but more important than that was the watcher’s words.
“Tell me in detail.”
[You’d better see it yourself.]
At his words, I quietly moved on.
“Where… are you going?”
Arya, who happened to find me leaving the festival site, hurriedly ran up and caught up with me.
She also knows that she shouldn’t interfere in this world.
So maybe she was feeling lonely in her own way.
“I’m going to go somewhere for a while.”
“Is it a dangerous place?”
“yes.”
At my answer without hesitation, she clenched her fists in silence.
Then he took out a ring from his finger and held it out to me.
“This is the ring that Obama gave me when I was young. It is said to contain the power of protecting the royal family.”
I didn’t mention the effect in detail, and I didn’t expect much, but I was very grateful for the thoughtfulness.
“Wait here. As soon as the princess’s memories are recovered and the work here is finished, I will return you to the imperial palace.”
“Davey is a very caring person.”
When I lightly stroked her hair as she smiled lightly, she startled and withdrew from me.
“ah! I’m sorry. Unbeknownst to me…”
She made an excuse as she rolled her eyes in embarrassment.
“Was it rude?”
“Oh no, that’s not it…”
She murmured briefly and bowed her head at me with a blushing face.
“sorry! I’ll go back first. You must come back safely.”
Saying that, Elia’s steps as she ran away looked quite urgent.

Aria quickly ran away from the festival site to Davey and the accommodation provided for her.
It was a building used by demon soldiers not too long ago, but after driving out the demons, it has now become a lodging for humans.
“Ha… ha…”
Breathing heavily, she put her hand on my chest.
I felt dizzy at the sound of my heart beating non-stop.
It was strange.
I just put my hand on my head and stroke it, but why does it feel so calming?
To her, Davey was the first person she met when she came here.
On the surface, it’s believable even if he kidnapped her. None of them were realistic explanations.
But for some reason, she trusted and relied on him.
Why? My head told me to reject it, but on the other side of my heart, I couldn’t stand the happiness that I could not stand when he smiled at me, paid attention to me, and stretched out my hand.
Why?
He was a trustworthy, caring and warm person, but Aria, who had been wary of others, knew.
It means that you are not necessarily someone who can be trusted to be considerate.
Because the imperial family is a place where there are many people who sharpen knives with a smile and a soft attitude.
But he was different.
Obviously, you have to set boundaries.
For some reason, every time she saw him, she couldn’t help but feel something aching. My heart raced and my face turned red. It was definitely strange.
‘I think my heart is broken. When should I go see a doctor?’
She was worried that the arrhythmia that Davey had once told her about might not really belong to her.
* * *
Leaving the fort, I started moving alone towards the direction the observer had told me.
As a means of transportation, he chose Megarodria, the dragon king of storms in the sky, which is also the fastest being.
The black dragon is also quite good, but it doesn’t have the speed of the Phantasm King.
In terms of speed, there is actually nothing like Warp, but it was difficult to specify the exact coordinates of the location the observer said, so I had no choice but to fly directly.
The bubbling volcanic zone emitted hot air currents that made it difficult for life to survive.
In the original Tionis continent, this place was just a huge mountain that had existed as a dormant volcano for thousands of years with beautiful vegetation.
But now, here, literally, the bottom was a sea of magma and the sky was a living hell full of volcanic ash.
[It’s near here. Oh, be careful with your feet. These magmas are already contaminated, so you might get in trouble if you step on them wrongly.]
At his words, I approached him without saying a word and looked down at the magma.
Magma with a temperature of thousands of degrees usually has the power to burn a person just by being nearby.
However, it was not enough to get right in front of the magma, so I even tried dipping my hand into the magma.
[Come on! Did you decide to turn your hand into bone!]
I heard a frightened voice, but I didn’t care as I was dipping my hand in magma.
“…The temperature is definitely different. Not very good.”
The magma temperature is abnormally high.
When I pulled my hand out of the magma, I felt red magma trickling down my back and my heated hand quickly cooled.
To me who endured in the flames reaching tens of thousands of degrees, this magma that is only thousands of degrees is just the perfect temperature for a bath.
After all, the damned spirit empress, Yuriana, gave me an experience that transcended human limits.
“Come to think of it, this place was one of the Salsu King’s treasuries…”
Looking at the appearance, it wouldn’t be strange even if it was naked and completely melted.
“Is it Slizzia’s job to start volcanic activity here? Aren’t you being quite modest?”
It’s a bit cryptic to say it’s plain over turning an area into an inferno, but considering the power of the opponent, it was really plain.
[No, she planted a tumor here with her own power. And there, even now, in real time, terrible things are being born. And in the aftermath, the dormant volcano was stimulated and a sudden volcanic eruption occurred like now.] At
that, I stretched out my finger and pointed at the center of the red magma.
“Is that him?”
What I pointed at was the black eyes staring at me from the center of the magma.
At first glance, I couldn’t see it, but I looked straight into those eyes.
[oh my god! It’s much bigger than when I first saw it! It has to be dealt with quickly before it gets bigger!]
As soon as the observer’s cry was heard, something began to boil in the lava, and soon it began to appear.
Pew!!!!
What came out with a huge explosion was none other than a giant tail.
The huge tail grabbed me and tried to pull me into the lava before I could get out.
Jjoeok!!
If it wasn’t for the red afterimage of Hongdani that flashed in my hand.
[Guoooooooooooo!!!]
The tail was cut off in an instant and the monster’s roar resounded, so I pulled the hongdani towards the sleeping guy’s head and slashed the sword in the air.
[Super heavy sword]
[
Severe sword] [Cleave the mountain]
It was a bizarre life form that was cut off with magma with a thumping sound.
It had fish-like gills and fins, and hundreds of terrifyingly long, thin tentacles sprouted from it.
Its face was similar to that of a fish, but it was full of hair, and it had eight eyes.
It wasn’t a monster that changed due to a problem of the mutant level.
Monsters with these grotesque forms were all about the existence of the abyss.
[This is it! Beneath the magma! However, it is easy to check the inside unless all the magma is removed…]
“Let’s dig it out.”
With those words, I lightly stroked Hong Danyi’s blade and said quietly.
“Can Hong Dan do well?”
– Hongdan is doing really well!
As soon as I heard Hongdan’s answer, I wondered if the awkward pronunciation had been resolved.
[Heavy sword]
[Slicing the sea]
It’s not as good as splitting the ocean like the sword god Hares did.
At most, it was enough to cut through a sea of lava in a radius of several tens of meters with sword blades.
blah blah! With the sound, the lava split like a miracle of Moses and revealed the inside.
Damn!!
Eventually, when the cracked lava tried to cover the surroundings again, I bumped my hands and changed the terrain at will.
A wall was built to block the lava from entering the center.
I unintentionally created a lava family, but it didn’t matter.
tadak.
I walked slowly and looked at the place where the lava had just been filled, and I found a large lump of flesh under the floor.
The mass of flesh was gestating as if it were alive.
[That chunk of flesh is planting hundreds of roots beneath the ground. It’s growing in real time. Currently, such tumors are being planted all over the land. War is also war… If these things start to disturb the rules of the world, it wouldn’t be strange if the effect of Eunyul’s Pine Cone, an unstable interference god, weakens
.
As the flesh split in half with a flashing light, purple liquid splashed in all directions, and soon the roots that had been planted in the ground came out and the flesh quickly began to dry out.
-Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
And as if I noticed the change in the flesh, something quickly came towards me.
It was a creature from the abyss that looked a little different from the monster I cut down a while ago.
Where the hell did these guys come from?
[To be precise, it came out of her body. To protect this lump of flesh.]
“Inside the body?”
Anyway, I don’t think the body was big enough to hold this huge guy.
Are you holding something like an egg?
I thought so, but the observer’s explanation stopped me from thinking.
[Didn’t I tell you that it’s a monster? She deformed her arm, then took the deformed arm and scattered it here. A part of that arm turned into that monster.]
The gist was that it was a fragment of her body.
[I still don’t know what she is and why she does this. At least, it is my judgment that if these things are left alone, the condition of the girl named Aria will not improve.]
“Hmm…”
[I know you’re busy with the war against the demons. In fact, a large army of 500,000 people from the main castle started heading here.]
“Are you moving slowly?”
He responded in the affirmative to my question.
“Anyone. I have a sensible plan.”
There is no reason for me to refute that.
However, you are responsible for the results yourself.
At that, I quietly nodded my head.
It was necessary to obtain information about the princesses of the abyss and to figure out their identities.
“Is this the end of the tumor?”
[I will guide you to the next place.]
At the words of the observer, I quietly jumped as if crossing the air.
