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
