Hi, I’m the Hero’s Father ～I’m Sorry For All The Trouble My Foolish Son Has Caused You～ - Chapter 92

Chapter 92   The Hero’s Father Beats Them to Death

◆Croix and Wiel◆

In the outskirts of the underwater kingdom Dipsea, in the coral wasteland.

Croix and Wiel sped there at super high speed, and Wiel activated her detection magic.

“—There, over there.”

“Got it.”

They moved toward the location Wiel pointed out and found a hole large enough for an adult to pass through.

This is the hole created by the Sea Gang.

It seems such holes are scattered all over the country.

A bitter, tasteless sensation spread in Croix’s mouth.

Croix clenched his fist, smashed a nearby rock, and threw it into the hole to block it.

It’s quite heavy. Even the fishmen’s immense strength would find it difficult to lift.

However, doing this one by one won’t get them anywhere.

“Wiel, can you display a map in my mind? Let’s split up and cover this.”

“Understood.”

Wiel enveloped Croix’s hand, and a map of the area and markers indicating the holes appeared in his mind.

There are thirty just in this vicinity.

Considering the entire country, there are likely even more.

“I’ll take that direction. Wiel, handle the other direction. Make sure to keep track of the areas we’ve covered.”

“Alright.”

After parting ways with Wiel, Croix relied on the mental map and began filling in the holes.

If there were no suitable rocks nearby, he crushed the surrounding area to fill the hole.

“Hmmm, it’s easier to just smash and fill… Alright.”

He changed his approach and started to fill the holes by smashing.

Smash, smash, smash. It was at that moment.

“Yahha! I’m the first one here, hahaha!”

“Ahhh.”

Suddenly, a fishman burst out and was smashed by rocks and sealed in the hole.

As expected from a fishman, they seem to have survived with significant durability and avoided instant death.

But it’s only a matter of time.

“So, that’s the Sea Gang… Wiel.”

“Yes, here as well.”

Wiel’s voice echoed in Croix’s mind.

Just as if she had been watching Croix actions, the needed words were quickly returned.

“Tsk, was it a bit too late…!”

“There are holes in the urban area as well. I will head there.”

“Understood.”

In the urban area, Wiel’s delicate magic control would be more advantageous than Croix’s brute strength.

The right tool for the job. Croix followed the trail of magical energy as Wiel flew through the air and sharpened her sense of detection.

There are still twenty-one holes that haven’t been sealed.

From these, Croix sensed the presence of a large number of fishmen emerging.

They are scattered and numerous.

They seem to be trying to disrupt by infiltrating in a dispersed manner.

Normally, preventing such infiltration would be impossible.

“—Fine by me.”

But the misfortune of the Sea Gang is that there’s an extraordinary man here.

Following the presence, Croix approached the hole at super high speed.

He confirmed with his eyes the presence of dozens of armed fishmen hiding among the rocks.

“Hm? Wh-what—”

“Hmph!”

Croix’s fist crushed a fishman.

Stunned by the sudden destruction of their comrade and the cause of it, the fishmen were left wide-eyed and motionless.

Even for fishmen, who are confident in their power, such a feat is impossible and not something they would even consider trying.

Without a word, Croix quickly shifted his gaze and grabbed a nearby fishman, throwing them into the group.

Just that action shattered more than ten fishmen.

Faced with this incredible power, the Sea Gang couldn’t help but retreat.

“W-wait! What the hell are you—gak!?”

“I’m not waiting. If I let you escape, more unfortunate people will suffer. You are a menace. I will crush you here.”

Before finishing his sentence, everyone present was reduced to a heap of flesh.

There’s no time to waste. Croix, ignoring the blood splatter, ran to the next location.

At that moment, Wiel spoke into his mind.

“You. I’ve received word from Lord Neptune that the kingdom’s army is also heading this way.”

“Understood. We don’t need many here. Prioritize defending the urban area.”

“I will inform them.”

With Wiel’s communication cut, Croix continued to annihilate the Sea Gang without pause.

Time is of the essence.

To protect Dipsea, Croix accelerated further and dashed off.
