Chapter 11: Chapter 10 – A Quarry to Settle

On a certain mountaintop, high above the clouds, a hero and a villain were having a grand battle.

“Take this—[Divine Darkness Sword of Banishing Pesky Heroes]!”

“Hah, that is nothing against my [Aegis of Beaming Holy Light for Repelling the Nasty Darkness]!”

Indeed, while a rock had been busy sitting around, a few hundred years or so had passed—and the time of great battle had come once again.

Grand spells and abilities were flying every which way, tearing apart the landscape and slicing up the clouds below. It was a very grand battle indeed—one that would decide the fate of the world.

And then a dragon flew by.

The roaring hulk with scales of green and red int

erlaced in a blinding pattern flew by the dueling pair, sending gales of storm wind at the mountaintop.

Both combatants were distracted for just a second, but unluckily, the [Hero] happened to be on the side nearer the dragon, and was sent tumbling to the ground by the gusts. The Demon Lord took hold of the advantage, and thrust his demonic weapon right into the human’s chest in a final killing blow.

“Hah, now that you are finished, my reign will last for 666 years, dooming humanity to an eternity of servitude!”

“No—foolish demon. There will always be another noble [Hero], ready and wiling to—”

Alright, let us ignore those two for now, irrelevant sideshow that they are.

Back to our real hero. No brackets around this one, for he was just a [Rolling Stone]—or rather—a flying one.

The stone observed its quest counter, feeling quite a bit of alarm.
