Being continuously hurt by these little creatures made the Tyrannosaurus even angrier.
However, before it could do anything, Takeru's figure suddenly appeared before it. Under the Tyrannosaurus's shocked gaze, Takeru threw a punch.
Boom!
As the fist collided with the Tyrannosaurus's head, a terrifying explosion resounded throughout the entire mansion. The powerful air pressure cracked the mansion's windows. The Tyrannosaurus's head caved in, and its body flew backward.
But before it could fly more than a few meters, Takeru appeared behind it again. With a simple kick, he launched it into the air. The huge Tyrannosaurus instantly changed direction, soaring high into the sky.
As it fell, it was once again enveloped by an invisible telekinetic force, suspended in mid-air.
Looking at the consecutive level-up notifications, without Takeru needing to say anything, Via and Raphtalia knew the Tyrannosaurus was dead...
Takeru looked at the Tyrannosaurus's abdomen.
Inside, there was a special object, the culprit that had made it so large and rampant.
Taking out the purple, fragment-like object, Takeru could feel the powerful mana contained within. Perhaps this thing could be used to catalyze quite a few monsters.
Shaking his head, Takeru didn't think further and put it away. Matters regarding the fragment could wait.
Looking at the massive Tyrannosaurus corpse, Takeru directly stored it in his item bar. Its uses could also be considered later.
Another point: Takeru remembered that in the original work, the Filolial Queen Fitoria appeared and killed the Tyrannosaurus.
However, the battle wasn't here. Also, perhaps because Fitoria wasn't even aware of Filo's existence now.
After all, since obtaining Filo, although Takeru had taken her to many places, they hadn't encountered many wild Filolials.
"Master is so amazing!" Seeing Takeru easily kill the Tyrannosaurus, Filo transformed back into her human form, flew to Takeru's side, and exclaimed joyfully.
"If you work hard, you can do it too. Also, don't be so reckless in battle next time." Hearing her words, Takeru stroked her head.
"Hee hee." Hearing this, Filo just laughed, trying to charm her way out of trouble.
Shaking his head, Takeru looked around. Due to the aftermath of the battle with the Tyrannosaurus, although Takeru had tried his best to control it, there was still some impact. Fortunately, it was minor.
"So this is a monster from this world? Looks like just a big, empty-headed brute with raw power." After the Tyrannosaurus died, Diablo and the others, who had been watching the whole time, began to comment.
"Yes, indeed. Not much of a threat." Akame also said seriously.
As for Raphtalia and Via, hearing Diablo and the others' comments, they were stunned, 'Such a terrifying Tyrannosaurus, and they showed no fear at all? Instead, they mocked it as just a big, empty-headed brute with raw power.'
For a moment, they didn't know how to respond.
Soon, after the Tyrannosaurus incident, things returned to normal. Takeru took over Idol's mansion and had Chelsea and the others start helping him build his reputation.
First, in Idol's territory, with everyone's publicity, Idol, influenced by the Sword Hero, lowered taxes and abolished some unreasonable taxes. The populace cheered.
Besides that, Takeru also contacted a nearby lord, Van Reichnott.
Compared to others, Reichnott was very gentle and courteous. Most importantly, he had an excellent reputation. Both demi-humans and humans under his jurisdiction were well protected.
The reason Takeru contacted him was naturally because of the rescued demi-humans.
After a brief interaction, Takeru felt considerable goodwill toward this gentle lord. Learning of Takeru's actions, Reichnott also held great respect for him.
After entrusting most of the villagers to Reichnott, Takeru returned satisfied to Idol's territory. Among the villagers, only the cat-eared girl Rifana and Keel remained.
After Rifana woke up and learned that Takeru had saved everyone, including her from the brink of death, and that he was the Hero Raphtalia followed, she begged Takeru to let her stay by his side. She wanted to help Takeru in her own way.
Keel also wanted to repay Takeru. Takeru gave both of them a test. After they passed, he allowed them to stay.
First, Rifana. Her willpower was very strong. She was also very intelligent and capable. Takeru trained her carefully, just like Raphtalia.
As for Keel, although a bit inferior compared to the two, he was still talented. Takeru had Diablo give him simple training, preparing him to become a leader of the demi-humans.
After all, Takeru intended to seize the throne later. Although he could change policies, for demi-humans to live a more peaceful and stable life, they needed a powerful clansman to achieve it.
Learning of Takeru's goal and the heavy responsibility they carried, Rifana and Keel trained very hard.
And so, time passed. Another eight days went by...
Takeru led Esdeath and the others back to the royal capital. Because the wave was about to descend, Takeru received a summons.
Although as a Hero, Takeru would be transported away regardless of his location when the wave arrived, the king still called everyone together before the battle to assess their situation.
Takeru arrived with Esdeath, Akame, Kurome, Diablo, Via, and Raphtalia.
Seeing Takeru's group, Motoyasu and the others were somewhat surprised. Most notably, he found the quality and quantity of the beauties in Takeru's team somewhat enviable and even a bit jealous.
The so-called summons was just the king giving Takeru, Motoyasu, and Itsuki some pre-battle encouragement and information about the monsters from the previous wave.
Finally, the king allowed Takeru and the others to check the exact time of the wave's arrival. As for Naofumi, the king didn't bother summoning him at all.
The summons ended quickly. Takeru nodded to Motoyasu and Itsuki, then left directly without any intention of further conversation.
This left Motoyasu, who had been hoping to recruit Takeru's teammates, quite annoyed. Then, instigated by Myne, he left the palace.
Itsuki watched Takeru and Motoyasu leave with some displeasure. Although he too was a Hero, aside from being better off than the rejected Naofumi, he couldn't match either Takeru or Motoyasu.
Leaving the palace, Takeru returned to tell the others, then went directly to the church. As soon as he arrived, he noticed Motoyasu mocking Naofumi.
"You're still fighting in equipment like that?" Looking at Naofumi, Motoyasu said mockingly. Myne's eyes were also filled with contempt.
Seeing Motoyasu and Myne, Naofumi felt a surge of anger. However, thinking of Takeru's goal, he quickly calmed his inner rage and remained silent.
"Naofumi-sama, who are these people?" A demi-human beside Naofumi asked curiously. Although Raphtalia had been taken away by Takeru, Naofumi had followed Takeru's advice, gone to the slave merchant, and bought a slave, who was also a demi-human.
"Wait, Motoyasu-sama is talking to you!" Seeing Naofumi ignoring Motoyasu, Myne felt extremely displeased.
"Long time no see, Naofumi." Seeing Naofumi approaching, Takeru greeted him.
Seeing Takeru actively greet him, Naofumi was stunned, a bit hesitant. He worried that appearing too close to Takeru now might affect Takeru's plans...
"Long time no see." However, ignoring him would be very rude.
Thinking this, Naofumi nodded to Takeru. As for Itsuki, who entered later, he directly ignored him.
"It looks like you've found some good companions. See you later." Looking at the demi-human girl beside Naofumi, Takeru said with a light laugh.
"See you later." Hearing Takeru's words, Naofumi didn't know how to respond. He could only nod and quickly leave the church.
"Takeru-sama, how could you associate with that kind of beast?" Seeing Takeru greet Naofumi, Myne felt uncomfortable and questioned Takeru directly.
"Is that so? What I do is none of your business." Hearing Myne's condescending tone, Takeru said coldly.
"You..." Hearing Takeru completely disregard her, Myne felt extremely angry.
"Hey, hey, Takeru, that's going too far, isn't it? Don't forget what Naofumi did to Myne!" Seeing Takeru's behavior, Motoyasu spoke angrily to Takeru.
"What exactly he did? The truth will come out soon enough." Looking at Motoyasu, Takeru likewise showed no friendly expression.
