The clash with Bange had been brutal. His suicidal enemy skill, living dead resilience, and soul-rending absolute death nearly tore me apart. But my arsenal—Holy Immune, Holy Recover, Last Minute Luck, and the guidance of Random Future Vision—turned the tide. Severing my own head and reattaching it, I convinced him I was a lingering ghost. His attacks failed, and my holy slashes scattered his body into pieces.
The Fairy Prince was stunned by my level and skill. The Fairy Princess awoke, confused to find herself in a cupboard, and at first cried for guards to arrest me. But her brother intervened, begging forgiveness. She relented, acknowledging my role in saving them.
In the Hall of the Fairy Castle
The Fairy King proclaimed:
"You are the first human to save both my son and daughter. You prove that not all humans are evil."
The Princess and Prince exchanged wary thoughts. He enjoys this praise, unaware of our intent to test him, to prove humans cunning.
The King began, "You are going to di—" but intruders stormed the hall. Guards prepared to strike.
I raised my hand. "Do not worry. They are my wives."
My companions revealed their classes and statuses. The Fairy King paled. If he killed me, war would erupt between his realm and four others.
At last, he declared:
"My daughter shall be entrusted to Dransart as reward for his achievement. An alliance shall be forged between our realm and his."
Shock rippled through the hall. Even the Fairy Princess herself was stunned.
Thus, Dransart secures the Fairy Realm mission.
- He defeats the assassin Bange.
- He earns the trust—reluctant though it may be—of the Fairy royals.
- He binds the Fairy Princess to his destiny, forging a new alliance.
The path to Catastrophic Hero grows ever closer, but so too does the weight of suspicion, politics, and hidden betrayal.
