Chapter 272 Confirming The Death Of The Money Hero
The head of the Money Hero flew and separated from her neck as it was beheaded by Alister. After ensuring that the Money Hero was dead, Alister breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew, the Money Hero sure is the most challenging hero to kill."
"Assuming the Money Hero had enough money, she could even command the World Will to do her bidding. Albeit temporarily, even the rest of the heroes don't have such power."
"But with how the Money Hero relied on her hero authority rather than her magic and aura, it seemed that she must have used money to increase her power so it was unstable compared to other heroes."
After killing the Money Hero, Alister didn't search her memories since he knew the Goddess of Fantasy would find out about it.
"With the death of the Money Hero, only two heroes are left. From the Money Hero's words, the Book Hero should have an authority similar to my negation superpower but not that similar."
"From what I know according to the hero authorities of previous generations of Book Heroes, the hero authority of the Book Hero is Exclusive Knowledge Authority."
"Everything that the Book Hero has learned cannot be used against him. If he learned a fireball magic spell, that magic spell cannot be used against him. Or even using teleportation magic would be invalidated by the Book Hero's authority even if it wasn't used against him as long as it was used within his presence."
"Furthermore, the Book Hero could easily acquire and learn magic spells and aura techniques since the Book Hero could instant learn anything as long as it was in the form of a book. Even a one hundred thousand paged book will be instantly read and learned by the Book Hero as long as it was written in a book."
"The only way to defeat the Book Hero is to use magic spells or aura techniques that he hasn't learned yet. In other words, only Zanna could defeat the Book Hero since it was impossible for him to learn chaos-attributed magic spells and aura techniques since Zanna was the one who invented it."
"At most, only the inferior version of the Chaos Formation Technique was spread out in the world. So the Book Hero might be able to use it, but he couldn't use the original superior version of the Chaos Formation Technique unless he developed his own version."
When Alister recalled the Book Hero's Exclusive Knowledge Authority, he couldn't help but sigh.
It was too overpowered and was as powerful as the Money Hero's Purchase Right Authority.
However, it wasn't as restricting as the Money Hero's Purchase Right Authority since the Book Hero didn't have to pay money. Even the restriction of having to negate only those learned magic spells and aura techniques wasn't truly a restriction since that weakness was made up for by the Book Hero's ability to instantly learn anything as long as it was in the form of a book.
If the Money Hero has two usages in her Purchase Right Authority which was to either purchase or rent almost anything, then the Book Hero's Exclusive Knowledge Authority also had two usages.
No wonder that the Book Hero dared to leave the hero party. Compared to the Money Hero who could benefit from the cooperation with the rest of the heroes in acquiring money, the Book Hero could easily go solo since it wasn't impossible to acquire books about magic spells and aura techniques by himself.
"It's a problem whether the Book Hero is hostile to me or not. With the power of the Book Hero, the Book Hero is worth befriending."
"After all, if I can't obtain the identity of a hero from the simulated talents, then I can only cooperate with one of the Nine Heroes to defeat the Demon King. Although the Demon King was immortal, it was only if he was killed by a non-hero."
"As long as the last hit was done by a hero, there wasn't much difference. So I can fight the Demon King and let the Demon King only have 1% of his original health, then any hero can deal the last hit and that would kill the Demon King."
As a backup plan, Alister had already planned to cooperate with at least one of the nine heroes. However, the Sword Hero and their hero party was too hostile to the world so he couldn't cooperate with them unless he threatened them with their life or controlled their mind.
But due to the back door left by the Goddess of Fantasy on the minds and hero authorities of the heroes, Alister knew how unrealistic it was to control the minds of the heroes.
Of course, that was still possible if the Goddess of Fantasy turned a blind eye to his actions of controlling the hero. However, the risk of doing that wasn't as good as the gains.
As long as the Book Hero was smart enough, Alister didn't have to worry about that. In terms of resources and knowledge, Alister was very rich so he was confident that he could persuade the Book Hero to cooperate with him.
'Wait... There is still the possibility of the death of the Book Hero.'
'From the Sword Hero's memories that I have plundered in the previous simulation, there weren't any traces of the Book Hero. It was as if the Book Hero never existed after he left the hero party.'
'Did the Book Hero encounter any accident after leaving the hero party and he died? Or was he killed by the Goddess of Fantasy? There is also the possibility of the Book Hero being stuck in a secret realm or he might just be hiding. He could also be doing something in secrecy.'
'Other than testing my strength against the Demon King and eliminating the Food Hero, learning more information about the Book Hero is crucial. After all, the Book Hero might be the only hero among the nine heroes that I can cooperate with.'
