Chapter 8: Meeting The (Weak) Human Heroes
It is already morning. I must've slept well since I didn't even wake up last night.
*The host is right. The system didn't let the host wake up so that the host can have a good night's sleep. The host's comrades were noisy last night but it didn't hinder the host from his good night sleep thanks to the system.*
'System, How strong am I? I think I'm overpowered right now with the use of my 100k attack stat.'
*The host is weak as heck right now. You can't even defeat a demon general right now let alone the demon lord. But the host's strength can match a demon leader.*
'What are the demon's rankings?'
*From weakest to strongest is Demon Villager, Demon Soldier, Demon Leader, Demon Commander, Demon General, High Demon, Demon Noble, Supreme Demon, Archdemon, Demon Lord, and lastly Demon Ancestor.*
'Wait... So there is a demon who is stronger than the Demon Lord?'
*The host is right and they are also called the previous generations of Demon Lords.*
'How do I get stronger in a short amount of time? I need to prepare myself or I can't protect this world if the demon tries to invade our land.'
*Host can forget about leveling up as it is useless which can only give the host measly stats.*
*The system suggests the host focus on completing system tasks and eating another magical beast.*
'How do I trigger a system task?'
*That depends on the host's current situation and problem. If the demon lord appears and invades the kingdoms then the host will trigger an Impossible Rank task which can reward you for defeating the demon lord which is absorbing the whole stats of the demon lord.*
'I don't want that to happen but I might face the demon lord soon. Maybe a year later.'
*The host doesn't need to worry since the demon lord won't attack any kingdom but his armies are a different story.*
'I'll talk to your system later. I need to prepare myself to meet the human heroes.'
*Ok, host but the system will suggest you refrain from fighting other heroes or you will lose some allies. Just beat them up when they are arrogant.*
'I understand. I will beat them up that even their mother won't recognize them!'
I get up from my bed, take a bath and then wear some clothes.
We were told by the king to go to the palace to meet the human heroes.
I am now heading to the palace and I am surprised that the palace is restored even though I destroyed half of it.
The King is sitting on a golden throne with jewels. The King must be that rich to even use golds and jewels to decorate his throne.
Some humans are on their seats that are prepared by the king.
After observing the heroes, I can only say one thing. They are weak as heck. They can't even defeat a demon soldier in their current state.
After I entered the palace and sat on my chair, Zale, Sophie and Mathew enters and also sat on their chairs.
After all of us heroes are here, the king speaks and says, "It is my honor to have your presence in my palace, heroes. If it isn't rude of me to ask then can I ask what level are you all and if your level is low then I will arrange combat instructors for you to learn and experience some self-defense and martial arts?"
"I am level 89!", The human hero with short black hair says. She is one of the two female human heroes.
"I am level 104", The human hero with shoulder-length red hair says. She is one of the two female human heroes.
"I am level 125", The human hero with brown hair who I think is their leader says.
"I am level 93", The human hero with brown hair who is equipped with heavy armor and who I think is their tank says.
"I am still level 2", The human hero with pitch-black hair who is the weakest of the human hero says.
I think that the heroes are getting along except for the level 2 hero who I think is the one getting bullied by them.
"As I expected from the heroes! Most of you are already at a high level! Mind if I ask why one of you is still level 2?", The beastman king asks.
"Sorry if you think he's weak your honor. He is the only one who doesn't want to continue his hero duties and slacks off all the time.", The human hero with brown hair replies.
"It's fine but at least most of you are willing to accept your hero's duties despite being summoned to this world. I do admit that I'm quite surprised that 4 of you are willing to aid us in defeating the demon lord.", The beastman king says.
"It is not a big deal your honor. We are glad to aid the other heroes In defeating the demon lord.", The human hero with brown hair says.
"I will request a combat instructor to help the level 2 hero gain some levels so that he can join you in your-"
Just as King is about to finish his message, the level 2 hero interrupts.
"Just who do you think you are to command me to train even though this world kidnapped me and now ask us to defeat a f*cking demon lord?! You have guts for a kidnapper!", The hero with pitch-black hair says.
'Now that's what I want to hear! Someone with the right mentality who honestly says what he wants to say even with the presence of someone who helps the kidnapper kidnaps him.'
The royal guard beside the king starts to shout, "How dare you speak to the king like that! How impudent and disrespectful of you-"
[Abyss Of Darkness], I chant and direct the spell towards the royal guard which then swallows him in neverending darkness leaving no trail behind even his corpse.
"Now, now. That hero is right. Why should he listen to his kidnapper? May I ask you, the king if someone kidnaps you, will you listen to his demands? I'm sure you wouldn't so nor would he do the same.", I ask the king while clapping that the sound permeates the whole throne room.
"How can you defeat a level, 300 royal guards! You have been summoned recently so you shouldn't be above level 200 and how dare you to speak to me like that!", The king says.
"I think it's laughable that you are suited for being a king with that temper of yours!", I insult the king.
