Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

Nakamura gestured to Maren to place the Phoenix Egg on the pedestal and began to infuse it with magic power according to her instructions.

For a full half hour, Nakamura stood on the platform, outputting magic power without moving.

The phoenix egg continuously absorbs a large amount of magic power.

Even for a brave man like him, such a long time was a bit too much for him.

"It's almost done, my hero."

"Ah."

Nakamura smiled at Maren who was wiping the sweat off his face while injecting more magic power into him.

When the phoenix egg emitted a scorching glow and cracked, Nakamura shouted.

"Let us witness the birth of the Fire Phoenix together."

A tongue of fire suddenly shot up into the sky, causing the crowd to exclaim in surprise.

Then came the second and third tongues of fire.

No one reacted, as the thing before them seemed to have nothing to do with the Fire Phoenix.

"Okay, it's almost done."

Nakamura knew that the hatching ceremony was about to be completed and smiled happily.

Following a beast's cry, a cat-like monster emerged from the phoenix egg.

"Is this a fire phoenix?"

"Of course not!"

"Eh?"

Maren smiled as she answered Nakamura.

The monster drove its tongues of fire and began to attack things around it at random.

"W-what's going on!"

"what!"

The panicked fleeing crowd attracted the attention of the monster, and she breathed out flames at these people.

The magicians of the Earl's family who had been hiding in the dark immediately cast a barrier and barely avoided any casualties.

The guards also hurriedly drank potions to resist the flames and dragged the burned people away from the scene.

But all the nearby buildings have been reduced to a sea of ​​fire.

“Quick, stop it!”

Nakamura became very weak due to magic exhaustion and knelt on the ground and screamed at the monster.

The monster looked back at him.

This look made Nakamura feel that she was looking down on him.

The monster ignored Nakamura and jumped off the podium and started destroying Pierre.

"Are you kidding me?! Maren, what the hell is going on?!"

Nakamura looked at Maren beside him in confusion.

"Hahahaha!"

Maren did not answer, but kicked Nakamura, who was kneeling on the ground, to the ground and stepped hard on his head.

"How do you feel now, brave man?"

"Maren, what are you doing?!"

"You're right! I've been waiting for this moment for a long, long time. Phew, it feels so good."

Maren untied the ribbon that held her hair together, letting her hair cascade down.

"What do you mean?!"

"Ah, looking at that 'Yamato Nadeshiko' in front of a guy like you is really exhausting."

Maren took off her outer clothes, leaving only a very revealing leather vest.

This somewhat wild outfit made her feel refreshed.

"Yamato Nadeshiko? What are you talking about…you!"

"That's right, I have a connection with that man named Xiao.

How do you feel now that you know you were schemed against by the one who looked down on you, and betrayed by the one who abandoned you?"

Maren looked at Nakamura, whose expression was distorted, and gave a mocking smile.

"You, I will never forgive you!"

"Oh, oh I'm looking forward to it. Nakamura Takahiro."

Maren lifted Nakamura up and carried him to the side of the podium, letting him look at Pierre who was burning in flames.

"How are you going to get revenge on me now? You're finished as a hero."

"me."

"Thank you for your past contributions as a brave warrior, so please honorably shoulder your current responsibilities."

“You, are you kidding me!

I have killed so many dangerous monsters for the empire.

I have sacrificed so much to protect the people of the Empire, how could they abandon me!"

Nakamura panicked and retorted to Maren, defending himself.

"But, there are more people who have been hurt by you, right?

How many girls have you trafficked and how many families have you destroyed?"

Chapter 84 The End of the Brave Nakamura

"Th-Those were necessary. They should feel honored to sacrifice themselves for me."

Maren felt a little sorry when she saw Nakamura, who was no longer conscious.

She had never expected that Nakamura would be on the verge of collapse so quickly.

"Whatever you think, the facts won't change, right? Mr. Brave Fifth Seat."

"You, don't call me that!"

"I didn't know you cared so much about the Hero's seat. Thanks to that guy for telling me."

Maren showed a mocking expression and threw Nakamura to the ground.

"What will people call you now, Fallen Hero? Disqualified Hero?"

"I-I won't be called that! I'm the Chief Hero!"

"Have you forgotten that you are no longer the Chief Brave after that competition?

The current Chief Hero is Miss Su Lin'er, and has nothing to do with you."

Nakamura thought of the brave man named Masato Nitta and the extremely humiliating competition he had participated in.

"I, I!"

"What a shame, you can leave now."

Maren drew his sword and intended to kill Nakamura.

Suddenly, her body felt a shock.

"This is really..."

Maren looked at her abdomen pierced by an arrow, then turned and stared at Vader who was holding the crossbow.

"I won't let you kill Master Hyo-ho so easily."

"Master Hyoho, you're still calling this bastard like that."

Maren looked into Vida's eyes and smiled.

She realized that the woman in front of her hated Nakamura as much as she did.

"Since you want to save him so much, then give it a try."

Maren spat out a mouthful of blood and released magic.

Facing the oncoming hurricane, Vader threw down his crossbow and leaped to the side.

She drew her dagger and rushed towards Maren.

"You're such an idiot! Do you have such strong physical abilities...Pfft!"

Just as Maren was about to cast a spell at Vida who was rushing towards her, she suddenly felt powerless.

Taking advantage of this brief hesitation, Vida plunged the dagger into Maren's chest.

"It's really unlucky that the medicine took effect at this time."

Recalling what Xiao said about the side effects of the medicine, Maren smiled helplessly.

"The rest is up to you, Ugly Girl."

Maren staggered down the platform and fell into the flames.

"Alas, it would be nice if I could find a reliable man in my next life..."

Maren sighed with a wry smile before losing consciousness.

"Master Xiaohao, Master Xiaohao."

Vida dragged his injured body and tried to help Nakamura up, but was pushed away roughly.

"Su Lin'er. Nitta,... Xiao... If, if these guys weren't there, it would be great..."

Nakamura began to mutter many people's names, cursing and abusing them.

Snapped!

Vida slapped Nakamura hard.

"Vida, you!"

"Master Xiaohao, we have to leave here now!"

"me…"

"Are you going to give up on yourself because of this failure and betrayal?"

Vida cursed angrily.

(I will never let you escape like this before I let you experience their despair and pain!)

"I…"

Nakamura looked at Vida timidly, not knowing what the girl was really thinking.

"The flames are coming up now, let's leave quickly."

Vida picked up Nakamura and dragged him down from the podium with great difficulty.

Nakamura's mind was in a state of confusion at this time, and he had no idea that the podium was just now being engulfed by flames.

In order to give Maren more time to perform, Vida specially ordered that the wood be treated with fire resistance.

But perhaps no one else would know about this matter except Vida at that time.

"Alas, this is the end of a hero..."

Xiao watched from afar as Vida dragged Nakamura away and sighed with some sadness.

He lamented for those like Maren, who once had truly followed Nakamura.

"It's ridiculous. Not only did you ruin someone else's life, but you also made yourself look so disgusting."

Akatsuki taunted Nakamura with one last remark before drawing up his longbow.
