Who taught him to restore the country like this

Chapter 213 Resetting and Starting Over
"That... seems to be the Hero's Sword?"

Some time after the hero's sword flew out of the palace, the royal guards under martial law belatedly realized what had happened.

The commotion just now wasn't due to an enemy attack, but rather... the Hero's Sword has been revived!

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Sword of the Warrior has flown away!"

The attendant rushed to the king's bedchamber to report.

"What!?"

The king was horrified upon hearing this.

The resurgence of the Hero's Sword signifies the imminent birth of the Demon King.

This is a very bad situation! We must report this to the three major papal courts as soon as possible.

"you……"

He opened his mouth, about to instruct the guards to take care of it, when he suddenly realized that he had confused the priorities.

"Go after them immediately! Make sure you find out where the Hero's Sword went!"

The king issued the order.

The hero's sword flew out, surely it had chosen a hero.

The most important thing right now is to confirm who the new hero is.

"Yes!"

The guards withdrew.

Soon, the lords of all the territories in the Kingdom of Orantia received a message from the king: Welcome back the hero!
In the cold night, all territories of the Kingdom of Orantia mobilized to search for the trail of the Warrior's Sword.

Meanwhile, Ron, completely unaware of all this, was in a sparsely populated forest outside the territory of Cassel, expelling the dark matter divinity from his body.

As Ron in the future said, his divinity negated most of the dark matter divinity, leaving only a small portion.

But even this small portion is very difficult to remove.

Divinity suppresses humanity; removing divinity will also remove humanity, which is tantamount to suicide.

Only by finding a way to suppress divinity with human nature can exorcism be achieved.

Ron's leveling up can achieve this, but it's quite troublesome in practice and requires a lot of effort.

The main problem is that he only has one chance to level up now. If he messes it up, he'll have to wait a few days to deal with it.

Fortunately, the process of removing the divine properties of dark matter went smoothly without any major incidents.

"It's done."

Ron breathed a sigh of relief as the last trace of dark matter divinity within him was extracted.

Without the threat of dark matter divinity, he is now truly free to roam the skies. As long as those three shameless gods don't expose him, no one will notice him.

Let's observe from the shadows for a while.

With his hands braced against the rocks, Ron leaned back and gazed at the bright moon.

"The moonlight is so beautiful."

He murmured something under the influence of his "intellectualism."

When I'm in a good mood, everything looks pleasing to the eye.

Thinking about it carefully, I've been in this world for almost half a year, and I haven't really enjoyed the adventure from a player's perspective yet.

I haven't had a chance to properly appreciate the local customs and culture.

Now, calming down and appreciating the moonlit night offers a unique experience.

The sky in this other world is so clear.

The air in this other world is so fresh.

Even close to dawn, you can see shooting stars streaking across the sky.

The golden meteor emitted a dazzling light, dispelling much of the darkness in the dense forest.

Two seconds passed, and the dazzling light not only didn't diminish but actually increased, and... it got closer and closer.

Ok?
Enjoying the tranquility, Ron suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why is that shooting star getting closer and closer to me? It's like it's heading straight for me.

To avoid being affected by the shockwave from the falling meteor, Ron immediately stood up, gave up his spot, and headed away into the distance.

however……

The meteor's light shone on him, and through the reflection of the light, he could clearly feel that the thing was getting closer and closer to him.

what's the situation?
Ron stopped and looked up, only to see that the meteor's trajectory showed no sign of falling.

Instead, they were clearly targeting him.

Ron frowned.

If you can't deal with me by man, then deal with me by natural disasters.

His first thought was of the gods' underhanded methods.

However, as the meteor drew closer, the idea gradually faded from my mind.

Because what flew towards him was not a shooting star at all.

It was a sword.

A sword that looked very familiar to him.

"Hey, bro, why are you coming at me?"

Ron's eyelids twitched violently.

That appearance, that energy, and that unseen connection—there's no mistake, that's the Sword of the Warrior!
The Hero's Sword, born to defeat the Demon King!
What's going on? Why has the Sword of Heroes revived at this time?

Has Lilith advanced to become a Demon Lord?

"That shouldn't be the case, at this time of day, she... uh."

Ron suddenly remembered someone.

Keltia, who entered the Sanctuary.

Before he came out of the divine realm, he told her the whereabouts of the holy relic she was looking for, intending for Kertia to take it out and hand it over to the Radiant Church for strict control.

Don't let the Great Demon Lilith seize the opportunity to advance and become a Demon King ahead of schedule.

According to his original plan, as long as he lived, Kertia would be unable to continue trading with the demons.

But now the situation is different; the precondition that "he is alive" no longer exists.

Nakertia will most likely continue negotiating with the demons.

If she does that, then the Great Demon Lilith's opportunity will come.

Because what Lilith needs is not the relic itself, but the essence of a certain demon lord sealed within it.

As long as Keltia carries that sacred relic, the Great Demon Lilith can extract the Demon Lord's essence through her spirit, accelerating her advancement.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Kertia is very likely to do just that.

However, even if Keltia did this, it would only accelerate Lilith's advancement, and would not be enough to revive the Sword of Heroes.

Unless... she has already collected the essence of no less than three demon kings.

Ron's expression turned slightly serious.

It no longer matters whether the Great Demon Lilith advances to the Demon Lord realm ahead of schedule; the problem he currently faces is...

Why is the sword of the hero coming at me?

Why are you looking for me instead of your hero?

Do you intend to acknowledge me as your master?

Ron admitted that he had been very interested in the Sword of the Hero and wanted to get his hands on it.

But this isn't the time.

He was hiding perfectly well, and this thing came running to him with a bright light on, practically telling the whole world, "Ron is still alive."

This thing is a hot potato for him right now; he should get as far away from it as possible.

Ron ran at full speed, trying to shake off the Hero's Sword.

But the Sword of the Warrior is like a persistent leech, relentlessly pursuing me.

"correct."

Ron suddenly wondered if the reason the Sword of the Hero came looking for him was because he was a hero.

He quickly calmed himself down, realized his identity as a hero, and chose to give up.

however……

The sword of the hero still followed closely behind.

What a joke!
Ron broke down.

He never imagined that someone with such a terrible personality would be "fortunate" enough to be recognized by the Sword of Heroes and become a hero.

Are you the Sword of Heroes? Can't you even recognize a hero? If you can't, send another sword.

I have indeed done a lot to help others, but it was all for my own benefit, and it was driven by serious selfish motives.

If others don't know, how could you not know?

What to do? Should we slaughter the entire population of a city now?

That's no different from revealing your identity.

Use the saved-up town portal scrolls to teleport again?
It's no use. No matter where he goes, the Sword of the Warrior will follow him once it sets its sights on him.

Furthermore, it's not advisable for him to teleport to those who have had contact with Ron right now. Groups like the Skywalker Mercenary Group and the Uncrowned King are definitely being closely watched for the foreseeable future.

No matter how good the precautions are, they can't stop a guy like Sabnir.

That's why he chose to teleport to the Kingdom of Orantia; after all, with its large population, he could hide himself well.

Ron's brain was working at lightning speed.

He tried to put the hero's sword, which had recognized him as its master, into the system's inventory, but the hero's sword did not react at all.

Unlike the "Fate Returns" artifact, which can be used by whoever finds it, this artifact possesses a strong sense of autonomy.

"Alright, alright, one day I'll break you in two."

Ron made a mental note of this.

Completely helpless with the Hero's Sword, he ultimately had no choice but to resort to the last resort, a measure he would never have considered unless absolutely necessary.

His only path now is to accept the sword of the hero and become the hero.

However, becoming a hero will inevitably make you the focus of everyone's attention, and you will also have to undergo inspection by personnel from the three major papal courts.

His fourth-tier transformation magic alone was no match for the sharp eyes of those powerful figures.

Only by finding a way to get through this hurdle can he continue his three-month vacation.

How can we carry it?

The only solution now is...

"Let's reset the account and start over."

Ron made his decision after weighing the pros and cons.

It's actually quite simple to change one's destiny and life force without the people from the three major papal courts not noticing.

Just restart it.

It's not about starting over in life, it's about starting over with a new identity.

In "God's Descent", once players reach level 60, they can choose to reset their current character's level and skills, create a new character, and start the game from their current progress.

What's the benefit of doing this? Are you just bored and have nothing better to do?
Yeah, they really are just bored and have nothing better to do.

Of course, more than anything, they wanted to experience the feeling of fighting against themselves, or the feeling of being a neutral party or a different race.

Moreover, the character's level and skills that are wiped out will not disappear, but will only be temporarily frozen.

Once a player's newly created character reaches level 60, they can switch between the two avatars simultaneously.

After getting tired of playing the good guys faction, I went to the demon faction and created an alternate account to play around with.

If you get tired of playing the villains, go back to the good guys and spread justice!

Doesn't that sound much more interesting?
Most players will choose to create 2 to 4 different accounts.

This is much more useful than transformation magic.

Since such a convenient method exists, why is Ron unwilling to use it?

The answer is simple: the new character cannot use the territory gains from the previous character. If you want to level up, you can only use the new character to expand your territory.

None of this is the key.

The key point is that you can't switch back to your previous character until the new character reaches level 60.

Without a stable territory, if the territory is lost during this period, one can only watch helplessly as the one-month buffer period passes.

Therefore, this is a last resort that Ron would only use as a last resort.

But now is the time to implement this strategy.

He has three months... no, nearly four months. After the expiration of the Layton Kingdom's territory, he has a one-month buffer period.

In four months, with the Sword of Heroes, leveling up from 0 to 60 shouldn't be a big problem.

There are risks, but compared to the relentless pursuit by the three major papal courts and the loss of the Kingdom of Layton's territory, they are nothing.

Ron brought up the panel and, without much hesitation, directly chose to reroll the account.

Instantly, an indescribable feeling of being ripped out ran through my entire body, as if a part of my soul had been forcibly torn away.

It really hurts.

Seeing that the entire panel had been cleared, Ron began to create new account information.

[Name: Beretta]

[Race: Human Race]

【Age: 18】

[Level: LV.0]

[Affiliated faction: None]

[Territory: None]

[Reputation: 0 (0/h↑)]

Experience: 0 (0/h↑)

confirm!

After filling in the information, the next second, a light symbolizing rebirth surged from his body, and his body was reshaped according to the appearance he had imagined.

His bones made a faint cracking sound, his muscle fibers were stretched and reshaped by an invisible force, his skin texture changed, and even the color of his hair and pupils gradually changed in the light.

In just a few breaths, his entire demeanor changed completely.

Boom!
The level was reset, and the mental pressure caused him to collapse to the ground, his consciousness gradually fading.

Before his consciousness completely faded, he saw the hero's sword fall from the sky and slowly settle in his palm.

At the same time, a commotion could be heard in the distance.

"found it!"

"it's here……"

……

Now, on the other side.

The culprit, Keltia, had just finished her conversation with the demons and woke up from her dream.

She slowly sat up, stared blankly at the bedding for a moment, and then turned to look at the newspaper beside the bed.

The newspaper was filled with news of the fourth generation hero breaking through the eternal illusion and saving everyone in the Kingdom of Orantia.

She bent her knees against her chest, rested her head on her knees, and hugged her feet with her hands, but her bright golden eyes were dull and lifeless.

The negotiations with the demons in the dream world did not go very smoothly.

Although the people who came to see her this time were not only the demon cadre Sabnir, but also the great demon Lilith who had stirred up trouble in the Kingdom of Orantia last time.

The other party seemed to value this transaction, but throughout the negotiations, their desire for the artifacts was not high.

That attitude made it seem like they were conducting a transaction that was neither here nor there.

She was unaware that the core of the deal had been taken by the Great Demon Lilith without her knowledge.

She just felt that the idea of ​​resurrecting Ron from the demon race was probably not very reliable.

After this negotiation, the other party did not rush to demand the relic, but simply asked her to go to the North Island of the Sea and retrieve the Mermaid's Heart.

Although this could very well be a trick played on her by the demons, in order to...

Her gaze was fixed on the headshot in the newspaper.

knock knock.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Lady Kertia, Bishop Kevin requests your immediate presence at the main hall."

"Well, I see."

Kertia quickly composed herself and got up to leave the room.

Before long, she arrived at the solemn and majestic main hall again.

"Bishop Kevin."

She bowed her head.

She was curious about why Bishop Kevin had summoned her several hours later.

"Kertia".

Bishop Kevin looked at Kertia with a solemn voice and said, "Just now, the Sword of the Hero has been revived."

Upon hearing this, Kertia was taken aback.

Has the Sword of Heroes been revived?

This indicates that the Demon King is about to be born.

"Bishop Kevin summoned me. Does this have anything to do with me?"

She thought uneasily to herself.

After all, this happened right after she had contact with the demons.

"A new hero has been born, within the Kingdom of Orantia. The exact location is still being confirmed, but the general direction has been determined."

"Kertia, the Holy See has decided to send you to join the hero's party and travel to the Star Empire, to the Northern Island of the Sky Sea, to help the hero obtain the Mermaid's Heart."

Bishop Kevin knew.
