So she decided to seek advice from her instructors
Satisfied with this decision she found herself standing in front of the Great Holy Cha, she opened the door and entered
Ahead sat her instructors the Seven Celestial Sages
Upon passing through inner chae
She was now inside the empire’s absolute defense barrier
This area was isolated from the outside by a barrier that would prevent anyone not invited fro
Hinata proceeded forward in confidence
The path led along the mountain towards an estate That’s where she would meet her instructors
When Hinata arrived, four of thees
「I apologize for the delay I a with reeted the
Their faces hidden behind a mask, she couldn’t read their expressions
「Relax No need to sit so for, Hinata Are you here about Veldora counteron is a natural disaster Not so you?」
They asked
As always, she could not tell which one of thele one said every one of those lines
That’s how strange they are
Even the instructors said that it’s pointless to fight Veldora
But does that not go against their creed?
When she asked, they responded that『Dragon Veldora is a on is actually a holy spirit and is thus a ball of energy
Therefore they were nearly intangible beings
And further, they added,
「That annoying dragon recently joined hands with a newborn deht That dele being was capable of such a feat」
「An evil dragon and a demon lord joined hands… if we don’t proceed carefully, humanity will fall」
Presently, they weren’t in a state where they could offer resistance
But that was not so they could pere just because they were strong
Hinata lifted her head and looked them in the eyes
And,
「Pardon this interruption, but I will not run away
Whether a dragon or a de hoive herself for thinking that just because the demon lord was a compatriot she could speak to him once
Perhaps they insisted that we couldn’t handle them out of fear for the dement is often clouded by fear
Moreover,
She found it ridiculous to per
They should immediately destroy him
「Don’t be conceited, Hinata Noron」
「Even a hero could only seal hiering the opponent would lead to further proble to defeat him?」
But Hinata would not waver
If he needed to be defeated, then she would defeat him
「I have come with a request today」
She replied to their questions
Honestly, she had wanted to seek advice on how to treat her co to the report that he joined hands with Veldora and massacred Farht, humans and monsters cannot coexist They need to be destroyed before they produce further casualties
Her heart free of worry, she felt at peace
And she continued quietly
「I have co permission to use the spiritual weapon」
She quietly waited for their reply
The Sages’ movements stopped and the roohter filled the room
『Fufufu, fuhahahahahaha!!!』
Hinata did no move
She silently waited for their response
「She’s serious」
「Very well, we have witnessed your resolve」
「Perhaps you can defeat hieneration’s “Hero” Hinata We will permit you to use the Spiritual Weapon!」
Spiritual Weapon
That was a weapon reserved only for heroes and developed in secret by the church as an anti-monster weapon
As an anti-monster weapon it could only be used by someone loved by the spirits–a hero
Hinata is loved by the holy spirits
But, having never sought this ultimate weapon she hadn’t called herself a hero
Her abilities overwhelmed her enemies so much that she hardly had need for the spiritual weapons…
But not this tiinal instructor Izawa Shizue spoke of
A being which was both overwhel which could make people’s wishes come true
Hinata understood
She, whose face were a cruel expression could not become an instrument to fulfill other human’s hopes
But this time she decided
She could not permit the existence of monsters
Perhaps she could not becorant their wishes… but she could become a sword that would destroy anyone that could do them harm
Even if that was a hter people without reason to continue existing
Thus, Hinata called herself a hero
And she drew a large sword
One that was larger than she was used to It was so heavy that a grownit as a huht lifter would not be able to lift this sword
As someone who favored the rapier, Hinata’sher opponent’s speed
Nomonsters, it simply did not suit her
But, with no hesitation, she approached the sword and lifted it with one hand
With a carefree look on her face, she glanced over the sword
She could easily swing the tip at the speed of sound and wield the sword as if it was her own body
Her movements resembled a sword dance
No probleiant could wield it with strength alone
Hinata was siht Manipulation』and『Inertia Manipulation』at the sa to her
And if she increased the weight the moment itblow
Further as she nullified their inertia she could deflect their blow
Thanks to her flexible swordsmanship and these skills, Hinata boasted invincibility
The extra skills included in her unique skill『Usurper』were perfectly ed by the unique skill『Matheth’s secret
Not because of the spiritual weapon
The sas the product ofa weapon to counter Veldora…
And Hinata has long ago acquired it
She did not need the Sages’ per it
She convinced herself to only use it when peres
And they permitted it
Hinata released her limiter and returned to her true for into armor
That was the reason why she did not wear any That is, she was alearing it
That was the hallowed equiph level spirit power and could only be worn by those who surpassed human powers
Thus transformed clad in holymail, she had the appearance of a true hero
Clad in the strongest holy arest anti-monster weapon in hand, she set off
