The Hero Who Returned Remains the Strongest in the Modern World Chapter 66

Side: Abeno Kaguya

The man who mounted me was making a vulgar smile.

"Hehe, you shitty brat! You've made my brother bleed so it won't end simply for you!"

Rather… this is the first time in my life that my perfect standing joint locks have been turned over just by brute strength.

And, I was body slammed by this man.

That's right… This me who could easily send a judo medalist flying away… I was thrown by a professional technique.

There's no change in center of gravity, there's no skill or anything, it was simply a skill done by pure brute strength.

This is a one-sided game that wouldn't happen unless there is a difference in strength between adults and kids.

This is another world…?

I'm already losing my will to fight due to the too big of a cultural shock and from eating the 2 second punch from the mount.

"I surrender."

"Aren't you very obedient now, are you?"

"So what do I need to do to be forgiven?"

This is a strategic withdrawal.

If I can't win with power… There's no other choice but negotiation with words.

In the end if I withdraw from this place with cleverness then it will be my win.

That's right, I didn't lose here by all means.

I definitely didn't lose.

"After this, sharing a bed with me… Nothing other than comes to mind."

I slightly nodded to the man who had a ugly smile.

"Sorry, but right now it's impossible. I have things that I need to do outside of this town."

And my head is in full operation.

It's true that I've no time but still I've no intention to spend a night together with this guy.

How do I escape from this place…

"Things to do? How soon will you finish them?"

"I have plans to return to this city by tomorrow's evening."

"So it's fine then if it's not now."

The man undid the mount and stood up.

Is that it? I tilted my head.

"Fine. I'll wait for you till tomorrow's evening. After that I'll definitely have you be my partner. This is the inn I'm staying in so visit me."

He said that and handed me a note with a map on it.

For a bit I froze.

—Idiot. He's an idiot.

After escaping from this place there's no reason for me to visit this man.

Well, at any rate since he's letting me go I should quickly go.

"Okay, I understand. See you, then."

I was turning to the door and the man grabbed my shoulder.

"Oi, wait a moment."

"What could it be?"

"Put this on your right hand's thumb."

"A ring?"

"That's the condition for waiting until tomorrow's evening."

I feel a slight discomfort about it but since he's letting me go just with putting this ring… No other choice, then.

He nodded after confirming that I had put the ring.

And then the slender man I had sent flying away earlier got up.

"Hehe, you're… in trouble."

"Trouble?"

"Aniki likes the back hole and his thing is big. Everyone screams at the start."

"Is that so? Well, I'll prepare myself."

I sighed and again headed for the door.

"And, such things happened. Morishitkun."

And, I was speaking through the crystal-like something communication tool I received from Morishitkun.

This seems to be an unbelievable item that communicates like phones and goes through dimensions.

"Why did you suddenly started fighting?"

Morishitkun while moving the crystal said that confused.

"Did you think this me who's like the Saiyan battle race or having the short-temperament like Namihei Isono would just ignore the senpai event in the guild?"

"Now that you say it…"

"Rather, what's that! Despite that C-rank was taking it easy… That strength is not one of a gorilla! This is the first time my aikido joint lock has been overturned by brute strength!"

"You picked a fight with a C-rank!? For the current Abeno-senpai it's impossible for you to beat him. You're weaker than Sakaguchi-san when she's serious but you're equal to 3~4 holy knight from some time ago."

"Well, isn't it fine it didn't turn into anything serious."

"But, how did you manage to escape?"

"He told me he would let me go if I promised him to spend tomorrow's evening with him."

"Wait… could it be… you didn't put a ring on your fingers, right?"

"I did put a ring on my thumb, so what?"

"Isn't that a contract ring!"

"Eh?"

"It's a type of contract tool that is imbued with a deadly curse!"

And then in my head all of the events got connected.

"And if I break the contract?"

"You'll die. It's different if it's me but senpai can't resist the magic. 30 levels are not enough. That's what this contract tool is for."

Uwaaa, I've done it…

I lost blood from my head and seemed like I was about fall shakingly.

"Well, at any rate I'll close the communication for now."

It seems that this communication consumes only a little MP.

I can't make Morishitkun who's the decisive weapon be exhausted more than needed with idle talk.

"But, senpai, is it seriously okay? Were you not cornered all of a sudden?"

"I have a plan."

"A plan?"

"Well, If I become stronger then everything will be solved."

"Fuumu…"

"Then, I'm really hanging."

"Okay, I understand."

The woods.

I walked through the endless groves while having the mysterious skill activated.

Well, thanks to it I haven't met any monsters.

I've been walking for 3 hours since I had left the town.

By the way, according to Morishitkun, in this forest there are unbelievable monsters walking around that could kill me and even foolish veteran adventurers in one-hit.

"I finally came out of the forest…"

And after leaving the woods I walked in the mountains for 2 hours.

I entered the volcanic zone. The temperature was rising and after walking for a bit I entered a cave.

There was magma flowing here and there inside of the huge cave, even if I avoid the lava it feels like my body would flare up just by standing around.

I walked further in the blazing flames.

The sizzling flame was burning me.

Probably, I think that the temperature has risen beyond 1000 C.

If I didn't have the freezing necklace from Morishitkun, then my life would've already been gone.

And, I found my objective.

"This is the fellow that Morishitkun spoke of."

Before my eyes there was a large boulder.

It's 3 meters high, 3 meters wide and its depth is around 4 meters.

According to Morishitkun, you can get adamantite ore from it.

He said that this volcano is where the Ancient dragon lived and protected his Excalibur— His metal bat that he uses.

On the way here from entering the cave, I've seen several enemies like the phoenix which just by appearance are too dangerous.

They're way above the level of Nine-Tails… If I didn't have the mysterious skill then I would've been dead the moment I entered the cave.

Well, according to him, even the strongest S-rank adventurers in this world form a party and possible barely could pass the shallow floors since it could be the worst dungeon.

"Item box summon."

Actually, I can use an item box if it's low capacity, too.

I've started using it from the first time I leveled up, but… I think it's really a convenient cheat-like power.

"Truly the fortunate are the acquaintances of the heroes."

From the item box I took out an item that I had once again received from Morishitkun.

By the way, I do have exorcist weapons but weapons from the different world are greatly different from normal ones.

For example, even if I borrow Morishitkun's Excalibur, the offensive power is not different from Bizen Osafune.

If I use Bizen Osafune, I am able to easily cut trees in just a normal slash.

But, conversely speaking… If a normal citizen uses the Bizen Osafune then their offensive power is no different than a yakuza with a sword.

Well, normally it's a japanese sword of great quality, hence you can get the same benefits from the same metal.

The point is to bring out the real potential of the weapons you need the status that's required for it.

If you can't use it then it's a treasure that just rots.

But, right now… The hammer I'm holding is different.

This item is displayed as a joke item and yet even modern day children can bring out plenty potential of it as weapons.

"Now, time to start."

And, I raised the hammer up high and swung it down at the huge rock.

18 hours later.

I kept hitting the adamantite ore and a lot of it scattered in the surroundings and I finally found my target.

"This is… the magic core…?"

And I remembered the details about it that Morishitkun taught me.

・Adamantite Rock

A ultra rare monster that hides in the volcano protected by a Dragon.

This monster is created by the miasmic release of dragons over the years and kept in an adamantite ore.

The main body is the soft part called the magic core in the center of the ore.

It's classified as a Monster but it's essence is no different than an ore so it cannot attack people nor more it simply just exists there.

And the reason for why this Monster is famous because it's much lower in experience that the monsters around it and the time it takes to subjugate it.

You need to cut off the outer wall which is the ore part and that has over 100, 000 hp.

And, it's robustness is strong as expected from an adamantite ore.

For example, even for holy swords of heroes it's tedious to crack the adamantite ore.

Even normally it's a high-class dungeon where you need a luxurious freezing necklace and the enemies have limited ways of being defeated and all of them take a terrifying time.

In addition, you need adventurers of S-rank or higher status in terms of the adventurers guild so there aren't many people to deal with the monsters.

・Sage's Hammer

A hammer made as a joke from the philosopher's stone by a Great Sage in the past.

A kind of joke item, it's effect is "No matter who uses it and attacks with it, the damage is 1."

I smiled.

"An ore that can't even counterattack… The experience might be nothing to S-rank adventurers but to me who's low level then it's huge experience."

I took Bizen Osafune, stabbed the magic core and I took its life.

"And, this place is unreachable for low-levels if they don't have the Concealment skill which is a privilege of transferring. And the freezing necklace is expensive and not always obtainable."

Then I looked at my Status Plate and smiled in amazement.

"It's like I'm watching a speed-run clear of a low-level in a game."
