Endless Winter's
Chapter 12: The Beginning of Disaster (END)

[***FLASHBACK****]

"Hinata Tatsuyaku! Thanks to your behavior and deeds in the previous life, the grace of the Goddess will be revoked and will become a hero without any power!" Raymond said as he read out a roll of paper to Hinata.

"..."

"It's not fair, others get power while you can only frown and accept what it is, but the real thing isn't?"

"Who? What are you talking to me for?"

"I am the Speaker Of Darkness, a mysterious voice that will grant your request to fulfill your desires!"

"What...did I be able to gain the strength to match them?"

"That is one of a thousand easy things I can do, I'm happy to give you great strength. But what sacrifice can you make?"

"What about my soul? No, I guess what about the souls of my friends? Well, that's also less. I'm sure this whole kingdom can meet the requirements."

"Haha... Haha...! I didn't think you could think like that. You are a savage. No, you're beyond the devil himself."

"It's fine to lose all those things, as long as I can gain strength and power that surpasses the Gods themselves."

"Hohoho. I'm so proud of your ambition, son. Or I can call Hinata."

______-------_____--------________

"Now, we will go to Vigilo Kingdom. Make sure to take one of their souls!"

"Alright, most likely there will be dead in that place. You should keep playing your part!"

__________----------________----------______

"For now until the day after tomorrow, there will be a ban on our grand plans! Namely, you guys don't kill this one! Remember characteristics! All right that's it, and the plan will be a great success."

"Why can't we kill him, Maria?"

"Good question, Aris! Since this is an outright ban from the Speaker Of Darkness itself and he will also be the key to our success to bring a new tragedy to the humans!"

______---------________---------________

"One soul of your friend is already in my hands.

There are 3 more people left, what can you do?"

"I'm out of ideas. We've been fired from heroism. And no more goals for us."

"I can advise you to go to the national hero union. There you have to register to be an adventurer. If it works, you choose a task called 'Explore the old tower'."

"All right, I get it! Will my safety be guaranteed?"

"Of course, everything that threatens you I'll get rid of it quickly. No need to worry!"

[***Return to the present***]

Warrance suddenly slapped both hands gently as he walked towards Chika.

"Wah wah.. turns out there is a human figure like this huh? You're so talented to play your part!"

Warm praise is met with a bitter dismantling of the truth.

"Haha.... I should have won an award if I had been in the drama! Ahahaha...!!!" Hinata's face changes are terrible.

"..."

"Why Chika? Didn't you know that your enemy is also your own good friend? Huh huh? How's it feel? Put your emotions on me!" A terrible smile was plastered on his face.

"Why? Why are you doing this cruel thing? Do we have anything wrong with you? Answer Hinata!!!" Hysterical screams came out of his mouth.

"Hehehe... Wh why? I don't know either! It's like I'm brainwashed into obsessing over an enormous amount of power!" The black haired girl smirked.

"I guess your fight stops there! I have a choice for you!" Warrance looked at Chika.

"..."

"So, which one did you choose? Serving forever to the Speaker Of Darkness or eternal hell from him?"

"I'd rather choose the second option than serve a ruthless demon like you! There is no point in me living! Hiks.hiks...hiks..." Shouted The blonde girl who was crying.

"Oh what a sad fate you are, man. However, you must accept the consequences!" Sympathy from Warrance.

Under his footing, a hole appeared that dropped him into eternal hell.

"Well, what about all your promises? Is your devotion only here, Hinata!" Warrance facing Hinata.

"I hope so. And for her, I have a suitable place" said Warrance who pulled the frozen corpse of Riyo by following Hinata.

At the residence of King Jayvelen IV...

"Open, there's a recent letter from The Greed Necromancher for you!"

The servant gave him a letter.

"Honored King Jayvelen IV, How are you? Is it okay? May you have prepared an army to head off my army of Undead en route. Even though this is halfway through, I'll give you 2 months to surrender, before my Undead army reaches the kingdom. Greetings from Alex Witcher aka The Greed Necromancher."

After reading, King Jayvelen IV could not say anything more. He was just pondering and thinking about what they could do in these 2 months?

Then, in his mind there was a beautiful word, "hope". The word immediately motivated him. Although it was too late, he still did to defend the Kingdom that had stood for a long time.

"I know what I have to do. Command the Magus to perform another summoning ritual, and recruit the roughly reliable adventurers, as well as go to another kingdom for help!"

"Good, Majesty! I'll tell the general of the army!" The servant immediately ran with all his might.

A month had passed, their preparations were almost ripe. How dare the Magi call up to 26 people from another world.

There was no time to relax, they were immediately galvanized to put up a fight against The Greed Necromancher.

Other governments also contribute to aid, such as Secanift Theocracy, Elven Country, Hieronian Empire, and others.

"Cozen, what about their fate?" Said the green-haired receptionist.

"What do you mean is that new A-class adventurer group? There is no hope, anyone who goes there will most likely not be able to return home safely. We assume they failed to complete the mission!" Cozen who had run out of hope immediately crossed the Chika group.

Not only Chika's group, but there have been many adventurer groups who have become victims of this mission.

Meanwhile, at the Mirage Tower...

"Our Speaker Of Darkness asks you to come to the throne room! He wants to give you a gift that matches your recent hard work."

"Hihihi.. I should also get more praise for my actions." Hinata answered while rubbing both palms.

"..."

"Oh yeah, I've never met him. I was very curious about his appearance. Haha...!" With his arrogance Hinata acted great.

Warrance was furious with this one human attitude.

"Grrrh... Chances are you'll never know what her true form was!"

*Krieeeek...!!

The door to the throne room was wide open...

It was clear that Mary on her throne welcomed them.

"Oh.. it turns out that our prima donna has just revealed its true form! What made you come here?"

"Why did the giraffe show up?" Whisper Hinata to the Warrance.

Warrance patted her forehead. Mary heard clearly.

"Ah... He wanted to get a reward for his hard work! For that, give a proper gift!"

"Oh... Speaker Of Darkness told me about this. Through me, I'm giving you this!"

Maria took something from the dimensional storage. A triangular Limas was given to him.

"Here we go. Use it well, all your desires are in here!"

"Thank you very much, Oh Great Speaker Of Darkness! I promise to always serve you!" Admired Hinata.

______-------_____--------______

And the time came...

A group of Undead troops were already preparing to attack Venzonia Kingdom. Not to forget the Abysswalker and the Abyssal Pyromanchers come with a lot of numbers. Directly led by none other than Corrupted Alex or could be called The Greed Necromancher.
