I Wanted To Save My Mother So I Became A Hero

Volume 1 - Chapter 10: Stopping For A Rest During The Hero's Journey

According to Hain, the heroes that were sent to save this world were described as both overly beautiful, kind and powerful.

There has only been 3 heroes recorded in history. Yamada, Yuuma and Yuzuna.

In each generation there existed a sword that had accompanied the heroes. The sword that can only be lifted and wielded by the legendary savior...

Holy Sword Veganzdnir.

The holy sword forged from godstones by the greatest dwarven blacksmith of all time, Vegan Thunderhammer. The dwarf himself was given the power to make the only god artifact in this world by Sigillare's creator, Clodwal Okamura.

That's what Hain has told me so far. And I'm enjoying the feeling that I'm actually one of the heroes.

「Hain, can I ask more about these heroes? What were their levels and from who did they save this world from?」

「It was said that their levels were able to surpass the ordinary humans and had ascended to even rival the lower gods of this world. I heard from my grandmother that they all became divine beings that now worked alongside Clodwal-sama. So perhaps their levels were somewhere above the 100 digits.」

So high! How strong would they be when I'm just lv13 and can already wipe off hundreds of monsters at the same time!?

「I have read from legends about this. But the first hero sealed the demon king, the second defeated the demon king and the third hero prevented the world's greatest ever multi-national war among the different races.」

Woah, so they really are cool role model heroes for me. And prevented a multi-national war? Didn't she mean World War by that? If they're like that, then the people must be thinking I should do something as cool as they did too. But while I was thinking, Hain interrupted and mentioned something interesting.

「But I also think the Holy Sword Veganzdnir had so much contribution to their achievements. Afterall, the first hero used the sword to seal the demon king. The second hero used the sword to vanquish the demon king. And the third hero defeated all the representatives of each race using it's power.」

Is that so... It makes me curious what that Holy Sword can do. And since I'm the current hero it actually belongs to me. I wonder where it is.

「Each time the heroes disappear to return back to their world, they left the Holy Sword. And at the central capital of the Formissa Kingdom, each year a combat tournament was held and whoever attains the final victory gets to try lifting the Holy Sword Veganzdnir in the hopes that the hero would most likely be the winner. But in the past two hundred years, there was no such fellow. Probably because the world was still at peace.」

So now that I'm here, this simply means the world will not be in peace any longer.

In any case...

I must retrieve that Holy Sword at all costs. But I'll save that for later.

And so, we started our journey again. A few minutes after finishing breakfast ofcourse. But this time, we rode on my dominated monster's back. Hain was a bit reluctant but I managed to persuade her that it's safe somehow, and so our travelling speed became twice faster than a carriage. To make it any better, I was using the《Auto-Pilot》skill's navigation function so I was able to pinpoint the shortest route possible. The deer simply hopped around and maintained speed despite the terrain and when it has no way to get around or up something, it simply teleported to the other side with it's《Short-Distance Teleportation》skill. But the most amazing perk of using this monster for transportation is.
