At the Entrance of the capital, The Magic Hero was met by both of his party members, his adopted little brother Gray Morningstar the Wolf Demi-human with short spikey white hair, and Lillian Rose T he Panda Demi-Human slave he rescued, who had long black hair and a metal device rigged to her left leg. Both cared for the Hero they fought with and would give their lives for his

"Come on we've got a party to go to" Balthasar says heading the castle

Unknown to the Demi-Humans, but the Magic Hero had overheard the Knights about there being a celebratory party for the Cardinal Heroes at the castle. Balthasar saw the opportunity to procure information about the King and his Bitchy daughter. Before entering the castle The Magic Hero casts Hide Mirage on himself and his party members sneaking into the castles party with little to no effort. Once inside Balthasar released the spell on only himself and proceed to eavesdrop on the conversation of the party. Throughout the entire party, Balthasar Black couldn't hear anything about Rurorona Village or the enslavement of the Demi-Humans, Until he heard a name he hasn't heard since the raid of Rurorona. Looking to the window He sees the Shield Hero with a Racoon Demi-Human with long brown hair

'Raphtalia?' thought the Magic Hero as he made his way through the crowd

The Magic Hero stopped when the Spear Hero Motoyasu confronted and challenged the Shield Hero Naofumi to a duel for the freedom of his slave, rejecting the duel the Shield Hero began to leave with Raphtalia But was stopped by the kings knights and forced to accept the duel when the king had Naofumi's slave was taken from him. Having accepted the duel the Shield Hero was taken to the arena

"Hey Shield Hero" Balthasar says reaching for a pouch on his belt

Getting his attention the Magic Hero throws the pouch into the hands of the Shield Hero

"You might need that" Balthasar says as Naofumi left for the arena

"Gray? Lily?" Balthasar said knowing that his companions were close

"What do you need brother?" Asked Gray

"Lily follow the king and keep him in his chair in the arena" Ordered Balthasar as he felt Lillian run past him

"Gray your with me, if this is a duel between the Spear and Shield Heroes then someone is going to make sure the Shield loses, so we are going to stop the duel the moment that happens" Balthasar says heading to the arena to observe from the room

(On the Roof)

"It looks like the Shield Hero Is going to win" Gray said watching the duel

"Indeed... though he lacks in attack power he makes up for it in outsmarting his opponent and using alternative methods in using his skills" I say seeing the Shield holding two ballons in each hand in front of a flinching Spear Hero

It was then that I see a Wind Spell being fired from the Princess which gives time for the Spear to charge his Lightning Spear, without Hesitation I equip the Mirror Magic Staff and jump in between the Shield and Spear Heroes. swinging my mirror staff I redirect the lightning skill back to the spear at double damage and with my free hand pointed at the bitch, I summon my newest monster

I summon the unholy beast of flesh and bone, slain by magic might to do my bidding

CHIMERA

Finishing the incantation, the summoned monster jumps over the Shield Hero slams its lion paw into the princess pinning her to the wall

"And here I thought that you people honored a sacred duel" I say straightening myself

"Who the Hell are you?" Asked The Spear Hero

"Simple I'm the only one who has seen the truth of Melromarc" the man said as my little brother jump down and onto the back of the Chimera

"My Brother's not wrong you know" Gray said hopping down from the Chimera's back

"I am The Magic Hero, Baltasar Black" I say earning gasps from the nobles

"There is.." Began the king as a small red line formed on his cheek

Dispelling the magic around Lily the King gasped as saw on the tip of her sword

"I wouldn't move old man, you might hurt yourself" Lily said before giggling

"Now then..Where was I?" I sarcastically ask myself

"Oh..I remember..." I say walking toward the princess

"Now be a good Bitch and..speak" I say tapping her with my staff

The Princess said nothing no ward escaped her lips, which only made me smile more, with my weapon in my left hand I slug her across her face causing a slight amount of blood to form from the corner of her mouth

"You Insulent.."

"Ah Ah Ahh..Don't even think about it" Lily said putting her metal leg against the king's chest

"Tell them, or next time I'll use the Chimera to hurt you" I say not hearing a single word from the princess

"Lightning..."

Looking towards the other end of the arena I see the Spear Charging his Lightning attack

"Slow learner I see" I say stepping away from the princess

"...Spear!" yelled The Spear Hero as he fires his lightning attack

Before I had a chance to swing the lightning goes right above me, knocking off the confusion I see Gray using his Halberd to force the Spear Heroes attack upward. it was at this point that the Bow and Sword Heroes jump down from the stands

"Chimera!" I yell

The Chimera's tail bared its fangs before lunging forward causing the wall to kick up dust and forced the princess to scream which made the Heroes and the king freeze. when the dust settled everyone saw that the snakehead had hit the wall inches from the princesses face

"...I...I...Did...it" Malty said fear in her voice

"I'm sorry Princess I don't think everyone heard you" I say as the Chimera's tail readied itself for the kill

"I Did it, I fired a wind spell at the Shield Hero" admitted the Princess

"Good" I say sending the Chimera to the monster menu

"Lily You can join us now" Gray said to the girl as I notice a slight pink color in his cheeks

Walking past the Heroes I swap my Mirror staff to my Nightmare Oak staff and create a flight of earth stairs to the king's box, Lilly steps down while I climb up and face the king

"Give me the Girl" I say in a calming voice

"Who are you to order me?" Injected the king

"You obviously don't get it, do you?, I'm the Cardinal Hero of Magic" I say still holding my calm

"Impossible, the only Heroes are the Four Cardinal Heroes" The King said which made me crack a grin

"Very well, if you won't believe me then you'll probably believe my memories" I say Equipping to a special staff

The Nightmare Oak Magic Staff was replaced with a weapon that had a pitch-black metal staff with Melromarcian language Glyphs and a large crystal ball surrounding the black jewel

Mana +30

Double Cast(Passive), Magic Affinity, Clairvoyance, Memory Projection

Pointing my staff into the air I display my memories from before I came to Melromarc

"By all mean feel free to tell me if this world has any of this" I say playing all my memories until hearing multiple gasps

Looking at the memory my cheeks turn red as I see the memory of me and my ex-girlfriend on our anniversary, fumbling my staff I turn the memory off, recovering from my embarrassment I turn back to the king

"I'm not from this world, I am a Cardinal Hero whether you like it or not. Now...release..The...Girl...Now" I say pointing my staff at the king

"Your spell proves nothing" the king said not backing down

"Very well" I say aiming my staff to a knight next to Raphtalia

'Shroud of Midnight'

The black mist flooded from my staff and swirled around the Knight as he screamed in fear for three seconds before the mist returned and showed the knight was nothing but bones and armor, with a vile smile on my face I re-aim my weapon at the King

"The Girl...Now...Your Majesty" I say

'Please fall for it, That spell took out almost all my mana'

"Release the slave" the King said

Letting the girl go I step to the side and let her return to the Shield Hero, turning to follow her I stop to address the king

"Oh, and before I forget, I have absolutely no problem fighting the wave to protect Melromarc, However.." I say raising my voice for everyone to hear

"..If anyone has any Demi-Human Slaves, Know this, I am the Black Mage and I Will come for you, Sent your slave free now or You Will Met your god"

With that, I walk the earth steps as the crumbled to dirt. Walking to the Shield Hero and his Demi-Human slave

"You know I once knew a Racoon Demi-Human from Rurorona Village who always had a smile no matter how sad she was" I say as the Demi-Human slave looked at me with wide eyes

"Balthasar!" Exclaimed Raphtalia as she embraces me in a hug

"So good to see you squirt, glad to see your safe." I say showing a face of forlorn

'I could only save a handful that day'

Letting go of Raphtalia I look to the Shield Hero and extend my hand

"Balthasar Black, The Magic Hero" I say Introducing myself

"Naofumi Iwatani, The Shield Hero, and thank you" replied the Shield Hero

"For what?" I ask

"Not only for the Snakehead but for the warning, even if I didn't listen to you"

"Yeah...That night I overheard her plan, I wasn't able to tell you because she took my brother and sold him as a slave" I say as we leave the arena with our respective parties

"So how do you know Raphtalia?" Asked Naofumi

"Oh that's easy, I was living in her village when the First wave hit" I say smiling

"Wait...you were in the first wave?" Asked the Shield Hero

"Yeah, I was hunting with Gray's father when it happen" I say as Raphtalia talked to Gray

Before Naofumi could say anything we both turned to the sound of knights with their weapons drawn

"Black Mage you're under arrest"

"Well, that's my cue, Gray! Lily! Time to run" I say placing my staff across my back

"Lilly Cover" Gray said charging an ice spell

"On it" Lily said charging a dark spell

'As source of thy power I order thee..." Gray and Lily said in unison

"...Decipher the laws of nature and blind my target with a cloud of darkness"

...Decipher the laws of nature and halt my target with a sheet of Ice"

'Vail of Shadow'

'Frost Wave'

Finishing her incantation, Lily blinds the castle knights with a dark spell while Gray covers the ground in a thick sheet of ice from his spell

"Good, now Gray, you and Lily go back to the inn and grab as much as you can and head straight to Him, Understand" I say running to the Three Heroes Church

"What about your mana Brother?" Asked my little brother

Reaching into my jacket I pull out a small bottle of blue liquid

"Don't worry I've got that covered" I say drinking the mana potion

"Besides I need to know when the next wave is" I say running ahead

Lily and I head into their room and began to grab the grimoires and the money Balthasar stole from the nobles, and the last thing I grabbed was a small box that I quickly shoved in my pocket. Shoving everything into their packs they begin to hear the sounds of the armored feet climbing the wooden stairs. Without hesitation I slam the door shut and discharged an Ice spell to freezing the door shut, it wasn't strong enough as the ice began to crack

'Were Trapped'

As more crack appear on the ice, I began to look around until I look outside the window and saw no knights

"Lily, Vail of Shadows" I order formulating the plan

The room is enveloped in shadows by the time the door breaks open, without hesitation I tackle Lily and jump out the window. we were air born for 2 seconds before I land on the ground taking the full force of the drop which dislocated my left shoulder

"A..are..you..okay?" I ask ignoring the pain

"Y-Yeah...we should..." Lily said as I kicked her off of me

One of the knights had got to the window and threw his spear, I did the one thing I could, I kicked Lily out of the way and took the blow. The knight's spear pierced my leg which would slow my movements

"Lily Go!" I say lifting myself up with the help of my halberd

'As Source of thy power I order thee, Decipher the laws of nature and imprison my target in a block of everlasting Ice'

I look to see Lily stood there casting a spell

"I told you to run!" I yell at the Panda girl

"Never" replied Lily as the knights surrounded us

'Ice Age'

The Ice Spell Lily used left me in awe as all the knights and some of the surrounding areas were covered in thick Ice, I then quickly limped in front and catch her as she began to fall.

"That was very risky" I say as we both hobble to the Slaver

This was child's play, Whenever one of the church members got to close I summoned a high-level monster to chase them away until I stood before the Dragon Hourglass. The Jewel on my staff began to glow as a transparent beam hit the hours and a timer appeared at the top of my vision

46:06:05:03

'A month and a half till the next wave,

Turning on my heel I descend the stair and run into a small army of knights

"Take one step and I will drop-kick your ass" I say smiling

The knight in front takes one step towards and immediately regrets it

'Vine Snare'

All the knights on the staircase were bound by my signature skill. Slowly I walk to the first knight with a massive grin

"I am a man of my word" I saw walking up the staircase to get a running start

Running at breakneck speed I jump and dropkick the knight while deactivating my skill, all the while riding the knight down the staircase and over the bodies like a surfboard. Hitting the bottom of the stairs step off the knight and thank him

"Thanks for the ride" I say kicking his face knocking him out

Cracking my neck I look towards the door which was blocked by a platoon of royal knights

"Y'all really wanna do this" I say as they all tensed up

"(Sigh)Very Well" I say switching to my Nightmare Oak Magic Staff

Some of the knights started to back away as the head of my staff glowed. Slinging my weapon across my back I clap my hands together creating a small shockwave before separating them

'Force of Nature'

Clapping my hands together not only sent out a shockwave but also created a wall made of white stone in the middle of the platoon, moving my hands away from each other caused the stone to split vertically and shove the knights into the adjacent walls, giving me a clear path to the door, without hesitation I run outside casting Hide Mirage on myself and head straight to the Slave merchant.

Balthasar Black entered the tent, promptly removing the spell. The Magic Hero was met with the sight of Lily wrapping up Gray's leg in bandages

"What Happened?" Asked the Magic Hero

"We managed to grab all the essentials we need and we were about to leave when the knights showed up at the inn and tried to break in, me and Lily jump out the window and I was hit by one of the knight's spear, Then as we were surrounded, Lily cast Ice Age" Explained the Wolf Demi-Human

"Then explain why you have all the injuries?" Asked Balthasar who stared at his brother

"He took the fall and dislocated his shoulder" explained Lily without a moment of hesitation

"Of course he did" The Magic Hero says gingerly taking Grays left arm and lifting it slightly

Placing a hand on Gray's shoulder, Balthasar grabs his brothers attention

"Ready? on Three" The Magic Hero says as Gray nods his head

...one...

POP

Gray holds in a pain-filled screamed as Balthasar lets go of the Demi-Humans arm

"What the Hell!, What happened to On Three?" Yelled the Wolf Boy

"Simple...It hurts more if you're expecting it" Replied the Magic Hero as he went through the packs making sure they had everything

"What's the Plan Balthasar?" Asked the Panda Girl

"Well, now that the I threatened the Royal Family we need to find a nearby village to some level, cause I can't keep sending my monster to do it for us" replied the Magic Hero

[ Balthasar's summoned monsters can farm exp However he only earns 1/4 of it. example if a summon kills a monster worth 20exp he only get 5exp]

"May I suggest Lute Village?" said the Slave Merchant

"That sounds good for now" Balthasar said as an idea formed in his head

"Hey...Do you still have those eggs?" asked the Magic Hero

The Magic Heroes Summoning skill was versatile in terms of numbers, but the monsters he summoned couldn't be healed and could only take so much damage before dissappearing, he needed a monster that can be healed

"Oh..Interested are we? Well, in that case, I still have a whole box" Said the Slave Merchant pulling out a black box from his shelves

The merchant opened the box and proceed to hand Balthasar one of the eggs, only to be turned down as he senses another with a strong source of power

"I do appreciate it, but not that one" Balthasar says stepping to the monster eggs

Waving his hand over the eggs, the Magic Hero grabs the egg in the top right corner.

"I'll take this one" Balthasar says handing the egg to the Slave Merchant who puts it inside an incubator

"That'll be one hundred silvers" the Slaver said as Balthasar handed him a gold coin before slinging all three packs over his shoulder

"Lily help Gray up, you'll have to help him until we get to Lute" Balthasar says grabbing the egg

"What about the knights?" asked the Wolf Demi-Human

"A wise man once said 'gall thay sugno fy ngheiliog'." Balthasar says stepping out of the tent making sure there were no knights

"And who said that?" Asked Lillian

"My Father" Replied the Magic Hero

"And what does it mean?" Asked Gray

"It means that the knights would have better luck sucking my cock then killing us" Balthasar said plainly as he cast Hide Mirage on his party before heading to the entrance of the capital

Okay so I know I said we were going to see the monster hatch but I hit my 3000 word limit and decided to end it here,

Live Long, Have Fun, and Never Make Sense

Because
