My Younger Brother is a Hero Chapter 78

Updated: Dec 17, 2023

78.


“I recognize you. You’re the girl that I saw back then? Are you also a resident of the Demon Realm?"


"What is this?"


After confirming that he was Hyeon-woo, Tiamat opened her mouth.


“Why are you here?”


No, it wasn't strange that Hyeon-woo was here. Because it was his hometown. More than that, Hyeon-woo would have only seen the dragon, but when did he see her? As he was tilting his head, Kai, who had returned to his human form, added an explanation.


“Didn’t you see it when the fight happened last time?”


“Did I not see it?”


“At that time, you were only looking at other people who were fighting.”


"Was I?"


“Ya.”


Tiamat wiped her blood-stained face, with her teeth exposed.


“Then I should introduce myself."


Tiamat, slightly bent on her knees, said as she gracefully spread one of her hands.


"Greetings. My name’s Tiamat.”


Hearing the greeting, Hyeon-woo scrunched his face up.


“Poisonous.”


Tiamat, the crazy dragon ranked 9th in the Demon Realm. It was said that being 9th in the ranks in the Demon Realm, crazy for fighting and blood, she had great strength. The stronger Hyeon-woo still would have beat her, but even so, her strength could not be underestimated.


“I’m not. I’m not poisonous.”


Although her main ability was poison, there were many other abilities she could use.


“It’s poisonous to me. But what's going on between the demons and the scheming?"


Everyone stopped fighting after Tiamat appeared. Therefore, she was able to hear Hyeon-woo's words clearly and properly. So, everyone looked at Tiamat with a firm expression.


“Am I obliged to tell you that?”


Tiamat answered, raising the corners of her mouth.


“Well, you are under no obligation to answer.”


Hyeon-woo let go of the scales on Two-eyed and jumped down. Seon-woo, frightened by the sight, tried to move his body, but it was too late.


"Hyung!"


Hyeon-woo easily landed on the floor to the extent that his shouts of concern were colorless. He looked back at Seon-woo who had called him and said with an awkward expression.


“I’m sorry I lied to you, Seon-woo.”


He wanted to be more lazy. He was tired of fighting. He wanted to live in peace, so he didn't talk about his power properly.


“I know, I knew about it.”


Seon-woo laughed bitterly at Hyeon-woo's apology. He stayed by his side the whole time, and there was no way he didn't know that he was hiding something. Even so, he didn't try to dig it out. He was afraid that if he tried to find out everything, his Hyung would leave him and hate him. There were many reasons.


"Hyung. I don't care what kind of person you are. Just promise me that you will be by my side forever.”


It was only then that Hyeon-woo relaxed his expression and smiled at him.


"Well, it's not that difficult. I will always be by your side. Next to my lovely brother."


For a while, the atmosphere warmed up.


"Ack!"


The one who ruined it was Tiamat, who scraped away the dried bloodstains with her hands.


“I hate this atmosphere!”


"Right. I had something left to do, right?"


Hyeon-woo turned his gaze to look at Tiamat. The murderous intent in her shiny eyes stung her. Her body shuddered and she began to get goosebumps. However, she had no intention of giving up easily.


'Dragon Heart!'


Because it was necessary. If she missed it now, she didn't know when she would get another chance. In the meantime, if Alberg, who came over to this place, started a game, everything would be ruined. That was why it was right to take the risk and attack now.


'It's not like the power is being pushed.'


Except for Hyeon-woo.


'How long can I hold it out?'


How many times had she had to worry like this in her life? It was shocking, but this was reality.


“Tiamat-nim.”


Tiamat ordered Kai first.


“Kai, do your duty.”


“I already used up a lot of energy.”


“Can you still do it?”


“Is there something I have to do?”


"Yes."


At that, Kai let out a sigh and returned to his original body. He then bit off his head, which was still poorly healed, with his head intact.


Munch munch.


Its huge mouth began to chew and swallow its bitten head.


“Ugh!”


Exhausted and spreadeagled on the floor, John made a grotesque noise. He didn't know how things were going. All he knew was that had to stop them somehow.


“Wow! This is why I like monsters. It’s hot!"


Ash giggled and dug out the heart of a nearby monster and grabbed hold of it. Then he squeezed the heart, still dripping with green blood, into his mouth.


“A-are you crazy?”


“Crazy, already really crazy.”


Ash smiled at John's words and raised his hand again.


“Is it the second round?”


Ga-jun looked at Ash with a tired expression.


"Let's make a final decision this time?"


In such a situation, Do-jin, who had been staring at Hyeon-woo while standing quietly on the other side, opened his mouth.


“It would be better if only one person fought here.”


“I’ll go and help my Hyung.”


“I think I’d be better off as an assistant.”


“I’m also good at assisting.”


Neither Seon-woo nor Do-jin seemed to have any intention of stepping down. The two began to seriously discuss who should go with Hyeon-woo. And Hyeon-woo, who was watching him, scratched his cheek with his finger.


'Actually, no one needs to help.’


You can even stick other monsters over there. But to tell the truth, it seemed exciting over there.


'Now!'


Tiamat did not miss the opportunity. Inflating her body in her second, she immediately drew in her breath. From the beginning, she intended to breathe out and wipe out the weak.


“What nonsense!”


Using Kero as a stepping stone, Hyeon-woo jumped up and hit Tiamat's snout with his fist. Tiamat swallowed the breath again with the sound of punching a leather pouch.


“Kek kek!”


The breath filled with poison turned inside out. As the body had a strong poison resistance, it was not further injured; but it was painful.


"Just die!"


The poison rose in Tiamat's eyes. Making her body smaller again, she raised her long nails and rushed at Hyeon-woo.


She was originally going to fight with her small body after she released her breath. Although the dragon's body was strong, the area of attack was wide. It would be better to shrink herself in a fight with a being faster and stronger than herself.


In her second form, Tiamat closed her distance and took her leg down. It was an attack on Hyeon-woo, but there was someone else who stopped him.


"Hyung?"


Do-jin, who blocked Hyeon-woo's way, shook off his numbly ringing arm. He thought it wouldn't be easy, but he was stronger than he thought. But he said yes, so he didn't feel like stepping down.


“I’ll assist.”


Do-jin said so, and stood there.


“Are you okay?”


"Of course."


Hyeon-woo nodded his head, stepped forward and rushed at Tiamat. As Do-jin blocked her magic and poison with his shadow, Hyeon-woo swung his fist.


'His body is a weapon!'


Even if you block it, it hurts, and if you can't block it, it is the end. Tiamat gritted her teeth and moved desperately, but it seemed that she would not last long. At this rate, the outcome was obvious.


“I wish I could at least get rid of that human.”


Tiamat glared at Do-jin with an annoyed expression. At first, it was difficult to block it, but now it was interfering with the magic even before it was activated. It was growing during the middle of the fight.


'This is why I hate humans!'


Despite being a weak being born with nothing, one sometimes becomes as strong as a dragon.


'Let's kill them before they become more proficient.'


Tiamat changed the target of the attack to Do-jin instead of Hyeon-woo. Seeing that Hyeon-woo called him hyung, it seems like a close relationship, and if she killed him, he might be agitated. Tiamat, who blocked Hyeon-woo's attack with her body, threw herself at Do-jin for the first time.


The claws that rose sharp like swords rushed towards Do-jin's vitals. Hyeon-woo was startled and tried to respond, but it was already too late.


“I guess I looked too easy.”


Do-jin quickly pulled out Kara and blocked Tiamat's attack. Although his body was pushed back by the ignorant force, the attack was somehow blocked.


“Sheesh.”


As soon as she confirmed that the attack was blocked, Tiamat flung herself backwards. just as expected. As soon as she dodged, Hyeon-woo's leg fell on the spot.


'This isn't what I thought.'


Things were getting out of hand. Kerberos and Black Drake were fighting quite well. Because of that, Kai couldn't move. Then, she wondered what the other side was like, but that situation was also vague.


Seon-woo, who was pushed by Do-jin, was pressuring Ash with Ga-jun. Angry Seon-woo was attacking more fiercely than usual, and because of that, Ash was covered in scars.


He was running wild even in his wounded state, but it was clear that he was being pushed back. Besides, Harmonia, who was wounded, was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that he hid for a while while his nerves were focused on something else. Even if it was a guy who fell less, she couldn't find his location as if he had learned how to hide his magical power.


'There are no useful ones!'


Tiamat felt the need to revise her plan.


【Let's retreat.】


She conveyed that intention to Kai.


'What about the other guy, he'll take care of it.'


All non-Demons are consumables. Anyway, it was something he had to know. Even if one got captured, there won't be a big problem since one had a device for it.


"Now!"


Tiamat used her time-gathered magic to unleash her magic and pull herself behind her. Now, the next response is determined by whether Hyeon-woo followed her or stayed and blocked the magic.


Fortunately, Hyeon-woo chose to block magic.


“See you next time~!”


She grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and jumped off. She heard something shouting behind her, but she neatly ignored it. They needed to be alive to do something about this.
