The Max Level Hero Has Returned!-Chapter 1314

Children had a weak immune system, so they sometimes suffered from serious illnesses. Of course, that only applied to common living beings. It didn’t apply to Super Ribbon, who was pretty much completely immune to illness itself.

Those who were aware of the situation were horrified to see Killer Rabbit return with Blue Ribbon and Red Ribbon in its arms, along with Evangeline, who had suffered a major internal injury.

“Seriously... I know siblings fight often, but who fights until they end up like this?”

It was shocking that Super Ribbon, who was usually quiet and never fought, had fought so fiercely.

“But Super Ribbon can fight on her own? Caldeiras, can you do that?” Illyna asked in disbelief.

Caldeiras, who existed in the form of a brooch, hummed and cried out.

[How could that be possible? She’s truly a heretic.]

It answered in a bewildered voice, although it knew Super Ribbon possessed many impossible authorities.

[My title of being a Divine Sword is an old story. That bastard Surtr told me I was the best...]

Ignoring the grumbling Caldeiras, Illyna pulled out every first-aid kit she could find. “Any external injuries?” she asked Davey.

“On her arm. The rest are mostly internal.”

She was surprised the injuries were still present at all. “Holy power can’t heal them?”

“No.”

Whatever Super Ribbon did, Blue Ribbon’s authority was erasing any recovery magic used on Evangeline. In such a situation, the best they could do was rely on her self-healing ability.

They finished giving her basic first aid rather quickly. Although she’d suffered an internal injury, Evangeline seemed to have been careful to restrict the damage sustained. Resting well and taking medicine seemed like it would be enough.

After Davey finished with that treatment, he raised his mana to replenish Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon’s energy.

They had overcome the biggest hurdle of Evangeline’s recovery and done everything they could.

The remaining problem lay with Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon. Super Ribbon herself usually consumed an enormous amount of power, and after using that power indiscriminately during her frenzy, she had become severely exhausted.

Considering the scale of her outburst, she might’ve suffered an even greater blow beyond simple fatigue.

“How about Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon?”

“We’ll have to monitor them for now.”

“But what's with those masks? That’s the authority Super Ribbon uses to draw out power, right? So why can Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon use it?” Illyna didn't understand.

“It’s frustrating, but I don’t know why either.”

Davey had nothing more to say. Although she was stabilized for now, once she woke up, they’d have to warn her or prepare countermeasures so that such an outburst wouldn’t happen again.

“Haah. I can finally relax.” Illyna, who had been full of worry that something might go wrong, eased up knowing the situation was under some control.

Just then, Darian, who was looking up at Evangeline, toddled over and asked Davey. “H-Hurt?”

“That’s right. Evangeline’s very sick,” Davey softly answered him.

“Gooo...” Darian, who was sucking on his fingers and looking at Evangeline, placed his small hand on Evangeline's stomach. “Eep, eep.”

It seemed like he was trying to sing the same lullaby that Aeria often sang to him during bedtime.

Perhaps he thought she’d be alright if she slept soundly.

Just as Davey was standing there bewildered, Davey saw that the expression on the face of Evangeline, who had been groaning while unconscious, had become much more relaxed.

“Dun!”

“Hmm?”

“Dun!” Darian said again with a bright smile. He wiggled his blanket and dragged it over, then covered Evangeline with it and patted her belly again. “Eep, eep.”

The sight made Davey smile.

Soon after, Darian scurried off and tried to cover Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon, who were lying elsewhere, with their own blanket.

However, he struggled to move properly, still just a toddler trying his best to be a caring adult.

Darian tried to tuck both of them in under the same blanket. But when one side wouldn’t stay covered, he frowned and shook the blanket around wildly, frustrated by his failure.

“Oooo. This! This! This!”

Davey couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of him struggling, even though he knew how seriously Darian was taking care of his sisters.

“Are you trying to cover your sisters with a blanket?”

“This! This!”

“Okay. Mommy will do it.” When Illyna slowly lifted the blanket and covered Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon, Darian clapped his hands.

“Dun! Dun!”

Seeing his innocent smile, Davey felt his troubled mood easing on its own. Darian hopped over to Davey and raised both arms. As soon as Davey picked him up, he giggled and pressed his mouth to Davey's cheek.

Davey couldn't find any words to respond.

Illyna couldn't hold it in.“Pfft.”

It was a serious situation, but his cuteness seemed to lighten the atmosphere.

“Where’d you learn something like that?” Davey wondered aloud.

“It seems he learned it by watching you.”

Seeing Perserque’s sly smile, Davey looked away and cleared his throat a few times.

* * *

Perhaps Darian's healing touch was effective, because Evangeline’s face soon had a comfortable expression.

An ancient dragon's recovery power was different from a human's, so it seemed she had self-healed quickly despite the internal injuries. It was likely also due to Blue Ribbon's weakened power.

With the outburst having subsided, Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon woke up as if nothing had happened.

The two children stretched like cats and yawned like the sleepiest of puppies. Once they found Davey, who had been watching over them all night, they rushed into his arms with bright smiles.

“Daddy!”

Unlike Super Ribbon, Blue Ribbon and Red Ribbon didn’t seem to remember anything about the incident.

Davey had confirmed the situation at the time by reading the memories of the earth. Unfortunately, thanks to Blue Ribbon's power, the spirits' memories were ambiguous, so Davey couldn’t figure out everything.

“Blue Ribbon, Red Ribbon, are you alright? Does it hurt anywhere?”

“No!” they both answered brightly.

Davey habitually patted their heads firmly. “Can you call Super Ribbon for Daddy?”

Since he had replenished the vast mana Super Ribbon had used, he knew there’d be no problem with their union.

The children looked at each other and smiled shyly.

“If I do, will you play with Red Ribbon afterwards?”

“Of course,” he promised.

“B-Blue Ribbon too! Will you play with me?”

“You bet.”

Only after making pinky promises did the two children flash bright smiles, turn into light, and then fuse into a teenage girl with blue and red hair.

“Super Ribbon.”

“I’m sorry, Father...” Unlike Blue Ribbon and Red Ribbon, Super Ribbon seemed to remember the incident. “My head hurts too much.”

“It's okay. It’s not your fault.”

It wasn’t surprising that she had snapped, considering the immense stress from the sudden recognition at school and all the teasing from Evangeline.

Davey had been worried that Super Ribbon, who was closer to a demonic sword, was too gentle, but the fact that she could get angry when she needed to was almost commendable in a way.

“You did well. If anyone makes you angry, just completely destroy them.”

She covered her face with both hands in embarrassment and spoke in a trembling voice, “P-please stop...”

“How are you feeling? Any pain?”

“No.”

“Then can you get up and follow me for a moment?”

When Davey turned without hesitation, Super Ribbon followed him with a gloomy face, perhaps thinking he was going to scold or punish her.

However, Davey had no intention of scolding her. After all, he believed it was his fault for not predicting what was happening to her at all.

“Father? This is...”

“First, I need to know how you changed. Do you remember what happened back then?”

“I remember... fragments of it.”

Davey needed to understand how Super Ribbon could directly manifest her power. He had also been surprised by the fighting style Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon had shown.

The way they changed their forms and adapted their attack style to the situation was quite novel.

Red Ribbon had the power to slash physical-types, while Blue Ribbon had the power to slash the non-physical-types. He had heard that when Evangeline tried to block physically, Red Ribbon became the sword, and in the opposite case, Blue Ribbon became the sword.

However, the fact that the two wore the mask Super Ribbon used when she resonated with Davey was a bit confusing for him.

“I need to see what’s happening inside you. So, please reenact the situation from that time again.”

Davey lightly struck the air with the back of his hand and pulled out a dark spear from beyond the cracked space.

“Ah. Father... I don’t want to fight you.” She was scared of what might happen.

“Don’t worry, I’m just checking. Try to attack with all your best.”

“Even so...”

“Otherwise, you might have another outburst and hurt someone, right?” Davey carefully soothed her.

Since she was already under a lot of stress, he knew that unnecessary stimulation would only cause a backlash.

Davey knew everything about her situation. Although he was used to things like this, since he was the one who had created Super Ribbon, he felt a bit more concerned and cautious. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

“I'll try.” Soon after, Super Ribbon widened both hands with a nervous expression.

At the same time, blue and red sparks gathered as she struggled to draw out power.

However—

“Woah. I don’t think it’s working.”

Davey had thought she had awakened once more like Rinne because of the premonitory signs. Now, he began to doubt that she had simply released her power out of anger.

While contemplating, Davey shouted, “Time-out!”

“Y-yes, I agree!”

Davey quickly stepped down from the training arena and motioned to the ones who were slyly watching the situation from a distance.

“Gracious Savior, do you have anything to say?”

“I need to make Super Ribbon angry. What would be a good way?”

Yuria, who was holding a basket of sandwiches as if enjoying a picnic, squinted her eyes. “Gracious Savior is truly a bad father.”

“Keep talking if you want to die,” he warned.

“Master Davey. Rinne suggests a method.”

Since Super Ribbon rarely became angry, he knew he had to come up with a special situation.

“So, according to your words, if our Lady Super Ribbon becomes angry and snaps, she unconsciously manifests her power, is that it?”

“That’s what I’m assuming for now.

Super Ribbon was a manufactured sword, after all. A peerless divine sword that Surtr forged and Davey finished.

However, unlike ordinary famous swords, Red Ribbon and Blue Ribbon had absorbed mana for thousands of years, gaining more monstrous power than initially predicted. On top of that, as Surtr’s masterpiece, they were imbued with an ego that created an enormous synergistic effect.

Since neither Surtr nor Davey had intended for that evolution, something unknown to them definitely existed within her.

“But Lady Super Ribbon, let alone Ladies Blue Ribbon and Red Ribbon, rarely ever becomes angry. Plus, given Gracious Savior’s personality, you wouldn’t corner the young lady again.”

What stressed Super Ribbon the most right now was the attention of the people of Earth.

Since she officially became a public figure, a celebrity, from merely being the daughter of the Saint of Tionis, she should’ve expected people to approach her.

He then suddenly realized Rinne wasn’t with them anymore. “What? Where did our golem go?”

“Hmm? I think she’s over there?” Yuria pointed to none other than the training arena where Super Ribbon was standing.

Super Ribbon tilted her head as Rinne strode over, and looked at her blankly.

She was woefully unprepared for what came next.

“Rinne evaluates her technique highly!” Shouting those words, she suddenly lifted Super Ribbon's skirt.

At the same time, Super Ribbon, unaware of what had just happened, stared at her blankly for a moment. Then her face flushed bright red like a tomato.

Though completely ignorant of love between men and women, Super Ribbon seemed embarrassed and shocked silly.

Rinne didn’t stop there. She forced a smile by raising the corners of her mouth while keeping her eyes barely open.

She then drove the final nail into the coffin. “Unsuitable taste, pfft.”

With that remark, Super Ribbon dropped her head low. At the same time, a black aura poured out from her whole body. Light gathered on her face, coalescing into a distorted, devil-like dokaebbi mask on her.

“Wow!” Astonished that a single act could make Super Ribbon so furious, Davey immediately stood up and clapped.

As did Yuria. “Even I, a member of the Gourmet Research Society, think Lady Rinne is amazing.”

“That one’s a complete lunatic, too.”

Super Ribbon instantly drew out blue and red energy swords. Davey quickly approached her and blocked her before she could slash Rinne.

Davey gasped, finding the impact to be far greater than expected. His hand even tingled. He involuntarily groaned and looked at Super Ribbon.

“This is much riskier than I thought?” Davey felt that Super Ribbon's mana was visibly and rapidly draining.

She was forcefully controlling and drawing out her power by completely burning up her own strength.

It was optimal for protecting herself in a desperate situation, but also too dangerous to perform normally.

It’d be good to calm her down immediately, but Davey couldn’t afford to miss the rare opportunity.

He deflected the repeated attacks aside. Then, seeing the air behind him slash and slide away crookedly, he was genuinely impressed. “Seriously, whose daughter is she? She’s out of this world.”

It was the authority Super Ribbon used when Davey wielded her, and when seen in a situation where she was hostile to him, it was purely terrifying.

Ssss.

Her blue-red eyes flashed, and then she pursued Rinne.

“Hey. Sup... Super Ribbon!”

Boom!!

Seeing Super Ribbon crouch slightly and rush toward Rinne like a beast, Davey was flustered. He threw Longinus to the side and grabbed her arm.

Yet, it seemed like Super Ribbon only had eyes for Rinne at that moment.

Rinne, of course, must’ve thought Davey would stop her, so she was just sitting on the ground with her legs stretched out, munching on a sandwich.

‘Hmmm. This is annoying for some reason.’

Even though Davey had been the one to give her the order, the way she acted so carefree after recklessly causing trouble infuriated him.

So, Davey let go of Super Ribbon.

“AAAHHH!!!” Super Ribbon let out a battle cry and charged straight at Rinne, who gobbled the sandwich in an instant and spread her wings.

She then flew away like a bat out of hell. “Rinne evaluates Master Davey's restraint ability lowly!”

Super Ribbon tore through the air and relentlessly chased after her.

The way she charged, completely ignoring everything except the cause of her fury, was like that of a berserker, a frenzied warrior.

Seeing her made Davey realize she suited being a demonic sword far more than a divine sword.

In the end, it took him a long time to calm Super Ribbon down.

However, since Davey had made thorough preparations so as not to burden her body like the first time, he succeeded in bringing her back to her senses when she became slightly exhausted.

Of course, the annoying Rinne was rendered a mess in the process, but thanks to her sacrifice, Davey learned many things.

Davey approached Super Ribbon as she caught her breath with a tired face. “Let’s train together starting today.”

“Yes?”

“You need to be able to control that power.”

If she could not control her power, he knew she’d cause a major accident someday. In that case, it seemed only right to teach her how to control the power.

However, what made Davey uneasy was that he still didn’t know what had caused her evolution and outburst.
