Chapter 37 - # The Reincarnated Hero is Summoned to the Pantheon Temple

The Pantheon Temple, towering as if to pierce the heavens. A man was now about to set foot in that sacred domain, a symbol of light and order.

Hero Ares, a human reincarnated from another world, a hero blessed by the gods.

But his eyes no longer held any sacred light. That day, as Hero Ares was heading south from the royal capital, a messenger arrived.

"Hero Ares-sama. Please come to the Pantheon Temple at once. You have been summoned directly by the Temple Court."

"...Huh?"

The moment he heard the messenger's words, the corners of Ares's mouth curled up.

"...Oh? The Pantheon Temple, you say? That's the place that Izabel woman runs, right?"

Ares's mouth twisted into a grin.

That battle back then. The woman who had blown him away with forced transference magic during the boss fight in the Hobgoblin cave.

The Dark Elf, Tiris.

"Kukuk... that damn bitch. Looks like she got herself locked up in the temple."

Ares slowly stroked the sword at his hip and declared to the messenger.

"...This is interesting."

"Y-yes?"

"She's locked up in the temple? I'll be the one to rescue her." With a click of the sword at his hip, Ares smiled coldly.

"By slaughtering every last person in the temple." The air froze. The messenger froze for a moment at those words, but Ares began to walk on without a care.

"Honestly... not just monsters, but gods and laws too..."

"I'm gonna crush everyone who gets in my way."

The seven-colored rainbow in the sky seemed to dim for just a moment.

Around the same time.

In the dungeons beneath the Pantheon Temple, in the prison of seals, Tiris was quietly offering a prayer.

"...O wind, please protect Mamoru on his journey."

At the end of her prayer, her companions, the monster party led by Mamoru, were heading toward the sacred beast in the far distance, the Rainbow Dragon.

Unaware of the fate of their adventure, a new storm was quietly approaching the temple. The shadow of the reincarnated Hero Ares.
