“Tsk… Not a single scratch, huh?” I muttered, as I discerned what my bullet could do against the tough exterior of the Komodo Dragon. My bullet still did something, but the damage was unrecognisable. But if I continued accumulating those tiny damages, maybe we could dent that armour and damage the monster in the long run.As soon as the Komodo Dragon’s failed, the beast submerged back to the ground and concealed itself once more. That creature quickly disappeared just as quick as the moment it had appeared. And when the lizard finally hid itself from me and the people, it let the worms and the little horde of lizards attack the group of survivors one by one. The tactic instilled fear and chaos on the battlefield, letting me be preoccupied with something rather than thinking of ways to counterattack the beast’s cheap trick.The children and the mother that the Komodo Dragon attacked fell on the ground, with tears and sweats flowing from their eyes. Their hands shook every time the gro

“HEY, YOU LIZARD! COME AT US!” When I thought we lost hope, Elena, the girl beside the group of survivors, shouted and caught everyone’s attention. The survivors beside her didn’t know what to do. But since all those people trusted her, most survivors followed along and shouted with her as well. However, those who valued their lives more than seeing the entire picture itself ran for their lives, hoping that would save them from possible danger. Some people who ran were attacked by the worms, while others experienced extreme panic attacks. Despite seeing their greed and selfishness, I covered their areas and saved those people, regardless of what they did… Except for one thing. I knocked out some people who tried pushing others to save themselves. Those few individuals even dared to use children and mothers as their shield so the monsters could take them, not the one who had pushed those survivors. I couldn’t tolerate such an act, considering that this was a time of crisis. And no pe

I wanted to tell Will about Hina’s condition and the way Akihiko passively made us his slaves. But even though I kept those feelings to myself, Will saw right through me and asked the others to leave us alone momentarily. Hina, who had awoken from the aftermath, saw Will, the elite members of the Crimson Guild, and I in one place. Of course, she immediately thought this was war. Thankfully, when my sister saw my reactions, I shook my head and non-verbally told her that everything was going to be fine. And she should follow the rest of the adventurer’s instructions.“I’ll come back for you, okay?” Hina uttered, and slowly walked away from my sight. Will could include Hina to our conversation, but I doubted she could add something useful to the topic. Even though she was aware about everything, having more people in a conversation would turn into a discussion. And if there were more people involved, ideas would clash and the meeting would extend before we knew it. And that was also the

I knew I had to invite Hina to the discussion. But since Will requested that the meeting would be limited to the three of us, I had no other choice but to accept. And, besides, our conversation became fruitful. I didn’t think that Will and I would reach an agreement, especially after experiencing aggressive adventurers sent out by the Crimson Guild to kill me, including Akai himself. The only thing that was a bummer was the handcuff placed around my hands. Although I understood Will wanted to supervise me, it would be better if I could roam freely having nothing to shackle me.This menacle produced excruciating pain every time I moved while using an ability or dared to conjure any spells at my disposal. The more mana I used, the more powerful this fetter became. I could easily break them, but Will and those four adventurers would think badly about the image. And if the worst happens, these adventurers would attack me, following Will’s command. Will must have known that I was powerful

Will thought for a few moments before carefully choosing his words and answering the woman’s question. “That is…” Not until he couldn’t.The words didn’t escape Will’s mouth even though he tried. Although I knew the reason behind it, Will refused to disclose some information to the public and left it a mystery for everyone. ‘They don’t need to know,’ must be the words circulating inside his mind. It was better than way, so he wouldn’t let out things the crowd doesn’t need to know. Silence was the key. And if this topic died out and if Will and the others could handle these swarms of monsters, I doubted those survivors would speak up their minds.And if i was in his position, I would’ve done the same thing.Finally, after all the preparations the adventurers and the people did, the clock had ticked. Everyone went to their posts. Will had a different thing. Instead of using the bravest people from the survivor’s group, the old man prohibited everyone to join the fight or even get near
