Chapter: Chapter 17: Reunited
“Wow, wow, wow. Why are you already here?”“Death God? Why are you flying like that?”Yuki found himself lying in a dark place, with light only illuminating the area around him and the Death God, Shinigami, who now hovered directly above him, staring down at his face with a mysterious gaze.Yuki shivered, feeling both unnerved and annoyed to be facing the being who had made his life a misery in the magical world. Curiosity gnawed at him; the Death God’s face, now so close, was hidden beneath the dark hood of his cloak, leaving only two glowing red dots visible. Those red dots seemed to lock onto Yuki’s gaze, forcing him to feel intimidated in the eerie silence.“How did you end up here? Didn’t I tell you to live long in that place?” The Death God’s bony index finger tapped Yuki’s forehead with a cold, piercing touch.“So, am I dead?” Yuki spoke unconsciously, his mind blank, unsure of how to process the possibility that he might have died a second time, especially since his mission wa

Chapter: Chapter 16: Fainting Again
“You lowly human. You will become my feast, and your soul will be offered to him, the ruler of the underworld. Ha-ha-ha.” The terrifying monster laughed in satisfaction. Its mouth, shaped like a goat's snout, revealed its sharp teeth. Blackish-green saliva dripped, emitting a suffocating stench.Anyone who saw this creature would feel a palpable horror. It was a true embodiment of what could only be described as a demon.The horrifying being, born from the greed of the innkeeper’s grandmother, now targeted Yuki as its next meal.Yuki, his eyes filled with rage, glared at the repulsive creature before him. His eyes glowed blue, with flashes of light surrounding his body. Yuki's right hand gripped the sword given to him by the god of death.The wounds covering Yuki's body had vanished without a trace. Just moments ago, he was on the brink of death, drained of energy and blood, with several broken ribs. But now, Yuki was brimming with energy that suddenly filled his body. His immense fur

Chapter: CHAPTER 15 HOLY SWORD MAGIC AND BLACK MAGIC
"Seiryū no Inazuma... release!" Cornered, Yuki shouted with the last of his voice, channeling all his remaining energy into his sword. The blade glowed brilliantly before unleashing a massive wave of blue lightning.The innkeeper screamed as the lightning struck him, his grip on Yuki loosening. The magical force sent him flying into a distant wall."Bastard!" the innkeeper cursed, coughing up blood. Yuki's attack had undoubtedly shattered some of his bones.The innkeeper looked around as if searching for something.Meanwhile, Yuki collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. His breath came in ragged bursts, his throat throbbing from the innkeeper's brutal chokehold.He glanced towards Aira, who had managed to free the prisoners.After noticing Yuki's gaze, Aira rushed to his side, her hands glowing with healing magic. "Hang on, Yuki. I've got you."Despite his severe injuries, the innkeeper wasn't done. He rose from the debris, his eyes blazing with crazed fury. "You... will... pay!" he

Chapter: CHAPTER 14 - BLACK MAGIC
“You?!” The village elder and innkeeper were shocked when Yuki and Aira burst into her hideout. “How did you get here?” she asked again, her voice filled with disbelief.No wonder the old woman was surprised by their presence. She had expected Aira and Yuki to be unconscious from the drugged tea they were given.“Let them go!” Yuki demanded, trying to remain respectful despite facing someone older. However, his polite demeanor only seemed to enrage him further.“Pah! A mere child dares to command me?! You should have stayed quietly in your room, waiting for your turn to be sold. Your lives hold no value other than as commodities for the slave market.” The innkeeper spat on the floor, glaring at Yuki with contempt.“Why you…!” Yuki's expression twisted with anger. His grip tightened on the Seiryū no Inazuma in his hand.Aira, standing beside Yuki, was taken aback. She had never seen him so furious before.“Yuki….” Aira called out softly, sensing the intense emotion radiating from her p

Chapter: Chapter 13 - Rescue Mission
That night, according to their plan, Yuki and Aira slipped out of the inn. They packed their belongings in silence, careful not to make any noise that might draw attention. As the night grew darker, they stepped out of their room, taking care not to alert the innkeeper or anyone else.As they stepped outside, Yuki felt the cold night air brush against his skin. Aira signaled for him to stay quiet and follow her lead. They navigated through dark alleys, staying within the shadows."Why do we have to sneak out like this? Wouldn't it be better to leave during the day?" Yuki whispered."Trust me, it's safer this way. During the day, everyone can see us. Now, at night, we have the advantage of darkness," Aira replied in a low voice.Before completely leaving the inn, Yuki glanced back at the place they had rented. He couldn't believe they weren't allowed to rest longer, especially since his body still ached from their last battle.They continued walking in silence until they heard suspicio

Chapter: Chapter 12: Suspicion and Plan
“What do you mean by dangerous, Aira?” Yuki stopped eating and looked at Aira, who was staring out the window with a cold expression.“This village is dangerous,” Aira replied with the same cold expression.“Please explain more, Aira. I just woke up from being unconscious,” Yuki protested. He was not ready to leave immediately after just waking up from a two-day unconscious state.“You know, Yuki. You’re an illegal monster hunter,” Aira stared sharply at Yuki.“Illegal? What do you mean by that?” Yuki asked, confused.“It’s because you haven’t officially joined the adventurer’s guild, yet you’re taking on monster-slaying missions. That’s considered illegal. Accepting a mission to kill a monster without being officially registered with the adventurer’s guild is a crime. Not only that, but you also don’t even know what magic you possess,” Aira, who had been looking out the window, now turned to face Yuki, who was taken aback."I was just helping the villagers because they said they wer
