Chapter 45 - Fourth avatar

"The demons and humans are already starting their war. It seems like the plot is progressing as expected." I said to myself as I went over the memories that came from the avatars.

After Val Zahad had claimed the relic from Demon King Balcor, he started using its power to take control of some of the demons.

It was all because of Demon King Balcor that he had been able to start developing his own forces.

But it was still far from enough.

There was still some time before he could get another relic, so there was nothing happening on the demon side.

After all, they became wary after their scouts were found and decimated.

It wasn't as if the demons would keep charging when they knew that there was no information at all.

As for the side of the humans, it was also in a similar state.

The Abel Kingdom had received the news of the demons and had started taking action accordingly.

From the message that had been sent to Andrea, they stated that they had already started searching for the demons and taking care of them. Supporting them was the church that would provide them with the weakness of the demons, holy energy.

As such, there was no problem when it came to the side of the Abel Kingdom.

It was just that it would take some time to find all of the demons that had snuck into the Abel Kingdom, so this wasn't a matter that could be settled that quickly.

Right now, the demon and human situation had fallen into a stalemate.

But that was perfectly fine since it gave both the demon king and the hero a chance to grow.

On the other hand, there was only steady progress from the side of Faust.

He couldn't take down the Undead Society that easily, so he had been using guerilla warfare to take down the weaker necromancers that were scattered about. 

From the ones that he took down already, he was able to get the location of some other weaker necromancers.

Though Faust did make sure to not hit them that often as to not stir the hornet's nest. He had been avoiding the headquarters of this branch of the Undead Society because there was a manager there, so it would be bad if he caused enough trouble that the manager came out.

"It's all going smoothly, but it's a bit too slow for my taste." I couldn't help thinking to myself.

In the end…

"Let's create a fourth avatar then to create some ripples."

I had put off creating the fourth avatar before because there was no need for it, but now that things had calmed down and everything was in a lull, it was the perfect time to create something to shake things up.

Not to mention that there was something that we needed from this fourth avatar.

"No matter how you look at it, our stats are skewed." I said to myself as I looked at the status screen in front of me.

The biggest problem was how high our magic related stats were compared to our physical stats. 

That was all because of the classes that we had.

Though the hero was a warrior, he was a magic based warrior class. It was better to say that he was a spellblade rather than a normal warrior.

As for the demon king and lich, there was no need to mention their stats.

Both of them relied heavily on magic after all.

"I guess the fourth avatar needs to be something that's physical based, but what should it be?"

After a moment of silence, I suddenly said in a voice filled with energy, "It's got to be that."

Once I came to a decision, there was no time wasted as I pulled out the avatar creation screen.

This time, I was even excited to see how it would turn out.

But by the end of it, I couldn't help feeling strange as I looked at the screen in front of me.

Wild.

That was the only word that could be used to describe the avatar that was in front of me.

The long hair, the large stature, and those exaggerated muscles…

Every part of this avatar fit the role of the Barbarian King that had been prepared for him.

It seemed like he wouldn't have a problem at all fitting in with the people that lived on the edge of the continent. That place was a wilderness that hadn't been developed yet, so the people there were considered barbarians by the rest of the continent.

But since they didn't have the same resources as everyone else, the only thing that they could do was train their bodies.

For this avatar, that really was the most appropriate place.

"Ha, ha, ha, get me some wine and meat! I want to have a meal before I set off!" The avatar really didn't hold back at all as they asked for whatever they wanted.

If it wasn't for the fact that I had put a sound dampening spell around the room…well, it really would have been a problem.

"You know that we can't do that. You should know that everything we're doing is something that we're doing in secret. So stop causing trouble for us and get ready to leave already." I said while shaking my head.

"Ha, ha, ha, you're so stingy. Just call for the maids to bring some food for yourself and give it to me." The avatar said without any hesitation.

Well, that was a way to go, but I didn't want to keep this avatar here any longer.

It was clear that this avatar would cause trouble by staying here any longer, so I wanted to send him off as soon as possible.

"Alright, there's no need to look at me like this. I'll go, I'll go." He said with a wave of his hand as if he didn't care at all.

He really fit the role of the carefree Barbarian King.
