Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 2240: Guided (2)

Ikki had the appearance of a village boy, which was why sometimes people didn’t recognize him as a hero.

But this person in front of him had blonde hair, a large heroic sword, and hero armour.

No matter how one looked at him, he really did seem like the perfect hero.

Not only that, he also acted just like a hero which was why people accepted him as a hero easily.

It was just that this seemed fake to Ikki and he didn’t like him.

Though it was better to say that it was all envy that caused him to act like this.

"More like what took you so long? I was already done dealing with the Black Tide by the time that you showed up, Percival." Ikki said in a standoffish tone in response to this.

The blonde hero known as Percival just looked at him with a faint smile before saying, "It’s good that you were able to take care of it, we do what we can for the common people."

Ikki’s face twisted once more when he heard this.

There was a part of him that really wanted to chew out Percival, but he knew that this wasn’t the time for that.

So instead, he looked at the different heroes that had shown up as well.

After all, those final attacks didn’t come from the two of them.

It came from all of these other heroes that had also arrived to help deal with the Black Tide.

There was only one reason why all of these heroes would have gathered like this.

With all of these heroes gathered, it was easy for them to calm the villagers down and arrange for them to return to their homes.

However, there was one thought that was on the minds of all the villagers.

"What are all of these heroes doing here?"

Since heroes had appeared two hundred years ago, they were considered the greatest weapons of humanity. They were the guardians that protected humanity from the Black Tide that threatened to swallow them.

But there were only so many heroes in the first place.

With all of these heroes gathered here, it meant that the Black Tide could just attack another location.

While they were happy that they were saved, they knew that they were nothing more than a small village on the outskirts of humanity’s reach. So it wasn’t as if there was anything valuable here that would gather all these heroes.

For humanity to lose territory to just stop one Black Tide, it didn’t make any sense.

This was also what the heroes thought, but there was something that had guided them all here.

"Your eminence, what is the reason that we’ve all been gathered together?"

Once all of the villagers were gone, the heroes gathered in this hall that was provided to them and asked this question to the relic in front of them. This was one of the few relics that had been found in this world that allowed them to directly contact the god that had created them.

Which was why they all took this relic very seriously.

"An accessory to the disaster will appear soon in this place."

This was the prophecy that they had received before and the reason why they had gathered.

When they heard this, all of the heroes couldn’t help knitting their brows.

They knew that the god wouldn’t mislead them since the prophecy that god gave humanity had saved them multiple times. If it wasn’t for this god giving them the power to fight the Black Tide in the first place, it wasn’t as if they would have been able to do anything against the Black Tide.

So there really was no reason for them to doubt the words of the god.

"So that Black Tide wasn’t what the prophecy foretold."

As heroes, they naturally knew far more than the villagers about Black Tides.

When they saw the Black Tide earlier, they knew that this was one that was of an unprecedented scale. It was much bigger than the biggest Black Tide ever recorded, which was why they thought that this would be it.

But now it seemed like there was something else that was here.

Not to mention that this would be something that was even more dangerous than the largest Black Tide so far.

If it hadn’t been for all of the heroes gathered together like this, they certainly wouldn’t have been able to destroy that Black Tide so easily.

So if there was something that was even worse than that Black Tide...

"Whatever it is, we’ll have to work together to find it and take care of it before any of the villagers find out."

Everyone nodded in agreement to what Percival said, but it didn’t seem like some of them accepted that he was acting like their leader. Though technically, he was since he was the one that had been appointed as the leader by the Heroes Association.

After heroes appeared, naturally there had to be a way to control them just in case heroes lost control of themselves.

As such, heroes were registered with the Heroes Association that kept track of all the heroes that were out there. It was an international organization that worked for the good of all humanity, so it was one that was highly respected.

For this mission, they were the ones that had moved all of these heroes.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for all of these heroes to gather in one place.

Since they had decided on their course of action, there wasn’t anything else for them to discuss.

Though from the looks on some of their faces, it seemed that these heroes were planning on finding whatever it was that the prophecy had been about before the others.

Even if they were all working for the good of humanity, there were those that had ambition.

They wanted to take the spot of number one hero from Percival.
