[Perfect Hero] is actually not perfect.

In the midst of his coma, a feeling of intensity and mystery arose in Albany's heart.

The world around him seemed to fall silent, and he felt as if his soul was about to be thrown out of his body along with the heavy rock.

The internal organs were shaking violently, and even the bones were wailing.

The force seemed to destroy him, and the clear pain spread rapidly to his limbs as he fell silent, making him almost unconscious.

When the rock flew in, he had every chance of avoiding it.

With just a few gentle steps to the side, he was able to avoid the pain he was in now.

However, when the residents next to him froze in fear, Albany, who was the eldest prince, subconsciously pounced on the rock.

Just this pounce, something went wrong.

Although the rock was a few points off, his own situation was not much better.

Organs are misaligned and bones are broken.

Endless pain was coming over and over again, and it was becoming more and more intense against his body.

It was still too much to resist such a terrible attack with flesh and blood.

Albanny looked at the fissures in the clouds torn open by the moonlight, and thought quietly.

The residual consciousness became more and more blurred, and the whole person seemed to be about to withdraw from this world.

But he has no regrets, and he has no regrets.

Because he did at least what the title of "hero" should do.

Not perfect, though.

……

"Ahem, ahem......"

What was that?

In the haze, the slight coughing sound echoed in the eldest prince's ears.

He snapped open his eyes in the darkness and woke up.

But as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a few purple flowers twitching the limbs of the green stalks.

The fat flowers had their mouthparts open, their heavy pink lips open, and sharp white teeth lined up in their huge mouths like an abyss.

A purple sharp tongue protruded from its mouth, twisting and wiggling in the air, and even saliva was ripped out between the teeth.

Seeing the creature in front of him, the eldest prince's forehead was suddenly covered with a burst of black lines, and his eyes widened, and his eyes were full of horror.

What kind of monster is this?

Seeing that the big-mouthed flower was constantly approaching his face, the eldest prince's mind was blank.

Just as he felt a little frightened, a familiar voice sounded beside him:

"Okay, I've got it."

Yes?

When the eldest prince heard this, he suddenly felt a wave of confusion and quickly sat up.

The moment he sat up, he suddenly realized that his body seemed to have recovered.

But the lungs in his body seemed to be in a state of dislocation, which always made him feel awkward.

But inexplicably, he seems to have come back to life.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Kocot clapping his hands as if he had just done something insignificant.

Sensing that something was wrong with the quiet surroundings, the eldest prince subconsciously looked around.

His gaze swept across the square and saw that the eyes of all the inhabitants were focused on him.

In an instant, the silence on the square became extremely clear, and it penetrated deeply into the heart of the eldest prince.

Today, the entire square is no longer as intact as it once was.

The earth cracked all around, and brown rocks and debris were scattered everywhere.

Running through the center of the square is a deep ravine, with a clear path that stretches into the distance, and at first glance it is only vaguely visible the end of the ravine.

At the end of the ravine, the scattered rocks became denser, and an iron spear pierced deep into the earth.

Looking up, he saw a huge crack in the sky that had been torn open.

Wasn't that a dream?

The vision before losing consciousness is strikingly similar to what is in front of you.

Just as he was shocked, an itching sensation rose from his arm.

The eldest prince felt uncomfortable and subconsciously wanted to reach out and scratch it.

But at this time, Cocott, who had been observing, suddenly spoke:

"Don't touch it, or you'll die."

"Uh......?"

When the eldest prince heard this, he lowered his head lightly and looked at the itchy place.

The rhizome of the giant mouth flower that had just come over was actually rooted in his body.

It's as if it was planted in his body and become a part of his flesh and blood.

"Let it grow on you for the time being, this thing is extremely vital and can sustain your life."

Sitting on the clouds, Kocot explained to the Grand Prince:

"The rest depends on how well you recover, as fast as a few days, as slow as a few months, you can pull it off."

"But remember to water often."

"If this thing wilts, your life will be almost gone."

As a fifth-order mage, it is not difficult for Kokot to use magic to save a dying person.

Especially for a mage like Kocott who specializes in natural magic, it is enough to find a way to increase the vitality of others a little.

“…… Thank you. ”

His legs were back on his feet, and he staggered to his feet.

Look down.

The large piece of armor that had protected his chest was gone, leaving only a bumpy gap.

When he got back to his feet, he stood silently in place, looking around the square.

The eldest prince stood silently in place, and he looked around the square.

The eyes of countless civilians converged on him, and those eyes revealed complex and indescribable emotions.

The gaze of the Great Prince wandered over them, and the originally clear eyes dimmed again.

In the end, he, the so-called "perfect hero", still disappointed people.

That flying boulder could be easily blocked by any strong man.

And he looked so embarrassed that he almost died from that terrible blow.

It's just a mantis arm blocking the car.

Thinking of this, the eldest prince couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The commoners must have seen it completely by now that he was nothing more than a prince who appeared to be a false prince.

Now, they must be full of anger.

The so-called perfect hero thought how powerful he was, but just such a rock made him reveal his original form.

The eldest prince is ready to be blamed by everyone and bear everything.

But the eldest prince was also relieved by this.

At least, he no longer needs to continue pretending......

He was looking down and smiling bitterly when he suddenly felt someone walking towards him.

When I looked up, it was the family he had just rescued from under the rock.

The woman burst into tears, and the two children beside her were still trembling, clutching the corners of their mother's clothes.

And the man came to the front of the eldest prince, with serious eyes and a solemn attitude.

The Great Prince took a deep breath, ready to face the angry rebuke that was about to come.

But the man's approach was beyond his expectations.

He stretched out his hands and held the eldest prince's hand tightly.

"I've said it before, but I'll say it again......"

"Your Royal Highness, I used to dismiss the word 'hero', but now, you have changed my opinion."

"You are a true hero."

This sentence came to the ears of the eldest prince so clearly,

His eyes widened, his lips slightly pursed, and he stood there dumbfounded.

What?

The eldest prince couldn't believe it, what did the man in front of him say?

He stared incredulously at the unwavering man in front of him.

From the other party's eyes, the eldest prince saw unwavering recognition.

One by one, people solemnly stood in place, focusing their eyes full of respect and trust on the eldest prince.

It's as if the Great Prince is still the perfect hero in their hearts.

As the crowd surrounded the Great Prince, Kocot had quietly flown up the floating clouds to Oberly, who was sitting on the steps.

She looked at Oberly and asked:

"Oberly, did you already know that your son was not good?"

Cocott's gaze looked down the steps.

Those commoners surrounded the Great Prince, just as they had done before, and still praised him.

After the crisis was resolved, the crowd did not show any particular gratitude to Oberly for dealing with the rock giants.

Or even just take it for granted.

It's as if their emperor should have stepped in to protect them.

On the contrary, they expressed deep respect and admiration for the great prince who came forward.

But it's normal to think about it from another angle.

Oberly has been invincible in the empire for so many years, and his strength has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Solving a stone man is just a matter of hand.

But, this prince .....

When Cocote was treating the eldest prince just now, he found out after piercing the giant mouth flower into the eldest prince's body.

The eldest prince is just an ordinary person who is a little stronger than ordinary people.

He didn't have any strength, just a fairly strong piece of golden armor.

If it weren't for this armor, he would have died under that rock.

When he found out, Kocot was amazed.

Alberly had two sons and one daughter.

First of all, the most outstanding is definitely his daughter Aurelian.

Her talent, even Corcott has to be praised and recognized.

And the second prince can collude with the devil, no matter what, this also shows his extraordinary.

Why is it so miserable when you get to the eldest prince? It means a lot to be an ordinary person.

Could it be ...... The eldest prince was not born to Oberly?

Hey, no wonder Oberly wants to send his eldest son to the frontier, and now the case is solved.

But when Cocot asked such a question, Oberly only smiled faintly:

"He's the only kid who didn't inherit my talent."

"However, he is the only one who has inherited my character."

It is often said that Albany is the prince who is most like Aubery.

Because he did manage to be a true Hero.

With a mortal body, he has been guarding the most dangerous frontier for more than ten years, facing monsters.

Protect the inhabitants of the empire from the infestation of monsters.

They are full of recognition of the prince's [hero] status, whether it is hyped or not.

At least he really stepped up to protect the people in times of crisis.

At this time, Oberly also set his sights on the square.

And the eldest prince unconsciously raised his head and met Auberly's gaze.

At that moment, the eldest prince clearly saw the satisfaction and recognition of him for the first time from the eyes of this father.

Albanny could barely believe his eyes.

He froze in place, staring into Oberly's charitable eyes, fearing that it was just an illusion.

One, two, three.

He kept confirming it until he was finally convinced that it was a true endorsement from his father.

The joy in Albany's heart was overflowing, and those eyes that were originally full of surprise instantly radiated a light of surprise.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel as if all his efforts had finally been rewarded.

Watching this scene between Oberly and O'Bany father and son, Cocot no longer felt strange about it.

She looked away from Aubery, and landed on the deep gully that stretched out of the ground in the distance.

Her gaze slipped from Auberly's body and landed on the earth, a deep ravine that stretched a hundred miles away.

The rock giant had fallen completely, and the shattered rock was scattered everywhere.

However, Kocot's gaze remained fixed on the spear that had been plunged deep into the earth, and his heart was full of doubts.

There was one thing she had never been able to figure out.

Why, follow that rock giant.

Suddenly stopped its movements, motionless?
