A demon can only be killed by destroying the heart inside of its body. It was one of the most basic things an adventurer must know. I wonder where he is hiding his heart? The huge explosion happened to destroy most of the train carts. Engulfing them all in flames. Still, the train demon was alive and going for me.I have to get the demon king's eye.I rotated my body in a hurry, but it was too late because the demon retrieved the demon king's eye. RepleniReng its magical power. The train cars turned into huge chunks of flesh connecting each other. Growing in size Konoha didn’t imagine. The demon transformed into a giant black viper. Opening its huge mouth, it sprayed out the violet poison that melted the boulder in an instant.“This is impossible. Let's just flee away.”Leona suggested.She seems to be the kind of woman who doesn’t give up easily. Considering how big her muscles are and the powerful magic she could use.“I can’t… This monster will kill a thousand or maybe more if I le
Flowers are in full bloom. Colorful petals dance floating in the air as the heavy wind blows. A wonderful scenery indeed. When the flowers are in full bloom, it only screams one season. Yep, the year has entered the spring season.Unlike the other day, Shaymi and I weren’t encountering monsters or demons.Walking on the trail going to the next town.“So beautiful… I wish every day seemed like that.”“Me too…” I replied. While looking at Shaymi who was playfully walking in front of me, I wondered what kind of thing she wanted to do in the future.Unlike me, she does have some plans in mind.This might be the perfect time to talk about it.“Shaymi?”“What is it?”“Um, I was wondering if Shaymi had a dream? Something you want to do or achieve.”Shaymi tilted her head. After a short time of thinking, she turned toward my face with a big smile, saying,“I would like to be a performer or an actress… I love playing roles. Back in the amusement park we did many role plays and I think it was s
A tough cookie like myself always begins his day with a nice cup of coffee. For us who dwelled in the shadows, making our living as spies, there was nothing better than taking up a cup of strong coffee to prevent our heads from feeling sleepy.Pumping ourselves full of coffee and drugs was the way of the world-weary. I mixed a drop of the medicine into my coffee and drank it down. This is my daily routine.I’d never been sure of what was in those drugs. I took them from a mail-order catalog. But they were super expensive, so I was convinced they were beneficial to my health.I took the cup and sipped it.“Bleh! So bitter…”This strong flavor was actually what banished sleepiness. Probably. That wasn’t written anywhere in the books, though. Coffee was bitter and gross and seriously tasted like mud, which triggered my gag reflex and made drowsiness my second priority.It didn’t taste anything like how they describe it in the spy novels. They wrote that black coffee was delicious or some
“What is the status of the matter with the evil mage?”When I returned to the office, the boss was wearing another sour expression.“As expected… I brought down the evil mage with my own hands! Right about now, that woman ought to be dying of embarrassment in front of the whole city!”My plan is flawless.The evil girl in question is now dying with her stomach twisted after drinking my poisoned coffee. My acting is very good and I’m never suspicious. She’s now unable to go out because of her stomach being unwell.The poison I gave her will result in laxative diarrhea. She probably poops on her skirt earlier. Feeling so much shame that she would rather crawl in a hole and die.I’m truly a genius.I told my plan to the boss.And here’s what my boss had to say after silently lending his ear.“So I suppose you saw her dead in embarrassment with your own eyes?”“Of course not.”Seeing someone dying is something I don’t want to see.“...”At this point, my boss let out a huge sigh.“You… Ok
I had realized on my first day of visiting this city that I was being targeted. That’s why I implemented a plan to capture the girl who tried to poison me before.My plan isn’t that clever. Just putting a fisherman on the hook just like a fisherman. With enough patience, I was able to capture her.After capturing her, I dragged her to the outskirts where I’m currently renting an Inn. Upon entering the Inn, the Innkeeper owner, who was as young as me, was giving me a suspicious look as I walked with the unconscious girl on my back.“T-This is my friend who drank lots of alcohol earlier… She could not take it and fell.”I reasoned.The inner keeper made an inner glance at me, full of doubt.“...”“...”We look at each other awkwardly. She opened her mouth and said:“Don’t worry, I’m not the kind of girl who spills the beans. I met people worse than you. I’m simply doing my job here and pretending I didn’t see anything.”The inner keeper said in a bored tone. Turning her head back to the
“Finally! I’m here! Arsland Kingdom’s capital city!”I cheerful yelled with my both hands spread up high on the sky.“Hey! Little miss please stepped forward. There is lots of people waiting behind your back.”“Yeah! Everyone have a place to go.”“Please get out of the way...”“I want to see my darling.”The people behind my back said to me with sour expression on their faces. I’m just having a moment on my life saying hello to the city. Next time, I better should pick a good place to say my greetings.I run down toward the ship dock. The ship I ride was giant cruiser ship. The fare was supposed to be very expensive considering that this is a luxury ship.I was lucky on my case. Instead of paying the ship fee.I get it for free after winning the ticket from the lottery. The ticket is a one way ride going to capital city. This is my first time visiting this city. I was thinking about visiting this place for a very long time. Since, I got the ticket, I also think this is the perfect opp
The roof is secure, food is secure, and money is secure. I could stay here in the capital city for one week before going to my next destination. There are lots of things here to enjoy. This is called the capital city for a reason. Sure, everything is quite more expensive than in other cities, but that is something I already expected.I would like to study something in the library. Yesterday, the Knowledge library suddenly went on fire. The cause was unknown. The bookkeeper who helped me met her unfortunate end. Her end was so tragic and painful. Her body was burned down in flames.This flame incident is a great loss to the country considering how much knowledge is kept in the library. Unique magic books and studies all burned down to ashes.There is no way of knowing when a person is going to the afterlife. Everyone must cherish people and express their love to the people they love before they meet their end.I learned about the promise I made to someone. I don’t know who it was or wh
“This isn’t right… My beloved darlings are going down one by one. My darling is supposed to be impossible to defeat.”The one speaking is someone outside of the city spectating the chaos from afar. He bites his finger continuously and his body trembles. The man was covered with a lab coat. On his face was broken glass.Beside him spectating was a decaying woman. His supposed wife died many years ago. By the power of undead magic, he was able to raise his dead wife as a zombie. His terrifying work doesn’t end with that. He’s also a scientist studying demons and monsters. Mixing their cells to create higher levels of demons. Just like the bomb demon and fire demon, Konoha just battles.“I created my demons to be at a level of The powers… A mere adventure should not be able to defeat them.”He claimed.Right beside him, a skeleton hand was placed on his shoulder.“That was naive thinking, Mister Nibiru… Don’t underestimate humans. Humans, despite not being the strongest creatures, always
“To create the world a better place… Using destruction to give birth to a new world. To make the world unified, we only need one leader. And that was the witch, the savior of this world.”“How is she going to save the world by destroying it? I can’t understand.”“Because you’re a lowly human who doesn’t know anything. The world and the system run behind everything!!”The tiger dashed at Yusael and threw a punch. His fist was caught by Yusael using her left hand. She grasps firmly tightly, and the tiger’s hand bleeds from her strength.The princess forcefully pulled him closer and forcefully swing her fist down at his skull again.“I said that won’t work!”The tiger replied.Yusael didn’t pay attention to his words and continued smaReng his fist into the tiger's head. Blood sprayed on Yusael’s armor and robe. The blood further tainted her pretty face.The tiger's face was unrecognizable. His flesh started moving to reconstruct his head.“My supreme regeneration ability will revive me o
After entering the steel tower with the princess, The Minion of a witch cult, who was seen by the angelic princess, was immediately defeated in one powerful swoop. Her incredible magic, light magic devoured enemies on our way.This is the true strength of Yusael Archangel.She turned her glance at me and gave me a smug smile.“Hmm, looking at me with sticky eyes… Are you falling in love with me?”“That’s not it.”I won’t call this love. I merely admire her strength.And as a man who always pursues power. I found her very alluring. She is brimming with quality and personality. I’m kinda surprised at how she could be talking to me casually, as if we have known each other for a very long time.“You always seem so serious like in the past.”The past times?I’m quite sure that this is our first meeting. I have no idea what she’s referring to.I have no interest in being connected with a famous person like her. It was better to leave some stones unturned.Fighting side by side with her made
At that moment, Ren left Konoha. Or to be precise, the time Konoha grabbed Ren’s arm and threw him directly at the steel tower. The long sword wielder charges his blade with skill and energy. Glowing in brilliant blue light. He hacked down his sword and created a massive burst of energy in one area.The blinding light vanished. Konoha was never seen on the ground. Zeha looked around searching. Concealing her magic and presence, the light-brown haired girl had her position right up above Zeha’s head.Her feet discharge lightning and Ax kicks Zeha from his head. Forcefully blowing him down to the earth. This wasn’t the full power of Konoha. She was serious. This attack was lethal and could kill her opponent immediately. The attack originally had a hammer-like a force that could blast off a human head. There were times before Konoha used this magic and added a sharp conjured blade to her feet.“Sword skill: Instant stance.”His body moves far instantly, creating a 20-meter gap between hi
“I’ll distract him… Lightning Flash.”Blinding light radiated from Konoha’s body. So bright even that I can see anything for a moment. I felt someone grab my arm and I was tossed away with such force.My body was flying straight to the steel tower. Before I have my head craReng into the wall that supposes to be made of thick iron. I pulled my sword and blast flames. Decreasing the force impact. I then have my proper landing on the ground.The steel tower had no window as the description said. Seems like I have no choice but to climb this tower from the bottom floor to the top floor.Konoha is very strong I know she can defeat Zeha with her strength. I shouldn’t worry about her. I have to think of a better way to climb the top of the tower on my own. The side of the tower where I’m currently where was the one facing the forest area. The battle seems to be continuously happening in the north and advancing.Taking another look at the tower. I won’t say this place is a tower. This place i
At exactly 6:00 PM, the adventurers are all deployed to steel island using a spatial portal. Our location was in the south mountain area. A place away from the ongoing battle between the knights of the four kingdoms and the witch cult. As much as possible Scarlet explained to us to avoid battle and go straight to our plan. The mission was simple, sneak to the steel tower and reach the top where the witch of darkness was.And kill her.“This mission is about killing a living breathing human being. Are you sure that you really want to come?”I asked Konoha whose on my side looking calm as she stare above the beautiful night sky.“I don’t believe in the witch of darkness.”“What do you mean?”“I mean, there is no such thing in this world that could destroy the world. If there is, why would they need to destroy this world? Without this world, they’ll also die. I not going to kill her… I’ll capture her. How about you? Are you going to kill her?”The witch of darkness was probably Hikari. T
“Are you sure about this?”I asked.“Yeah, give me everything you have.”Ren replied with her sword already pulled out from its sheath.We stand 10-meters away opposing one another.You must be wondering why the two soon-to-be lovers are currently fighting one another. The reasoning is quite simple. After the meeting held in the castle. We are ordered to prepare ourselves for the big fight happening tonight. The celestial city is near the steel island so there is no need to hurry.Had lots of time at our disposal before the real fight began. Ren suggested that the two of us fight one another.That brings us outside of Celestial city, at the shore near the Sapphire archipelago. The same shore where I met the candy coral pirate not long time ago. Stepping backinton this land brings back memories.I saw Ren use his sword many times. His sword ability is the most dangerous one. The flame on his sword could burn anything. The undying flames of the flaming sword. Flames will continue to bur
Adventurers participating in the mission gathered around the castle theater hall. Turning my head left and right. I could see plenty of adventurers, but not as many as I expected. The number of adventurers who attended didn’t even reach a hundred.“Ren, are we going to be okay?”I asked the man seating on my right.“What do you mean?”“I mean the number of us… There are over thousands of witch cults on the island right? Are we enough to fight those evil wizards?”“I can’t say for sure. But I heard that most of the people here are A-rank adventurers. Quality sometimes can beat quantity.”He speaks without turning his eyes onto me. He had a fixated eye on the stage waiting. On my left side, Alicia is looking a little nervous. Her head was placed low and her hands laying on her legs were shaking a little.“What’s the matter, Alicia? Is there something bothering you?”“I feared that thing might not go well for me… Early this morning I saw in the newspaper that I become a missing person. I
We reached the Celestial City without trouble. Well, there was trouble, but it's quite insignificant compared to the troubles I have been through these past years. Ren refused to give me something to eat and I nearly died of starvation. I was fortunate that there was an angel with us named Alicia who shared some of her food with me. The side that I liked and hated about Ren was his seriousness. What he meant is what he meant. There is no changing it… Probably…(Ren does change his mind sometimes. I just didn’t know how to trigger it. He is very unpredictable sometimes. Me being a cute girl doesn’t affect him at all. He's the type of man that doesn't chase cute girls. I like it, but the idea frustrates me sometimes.)This was my first time in the city. Like what I heard about the Celestial City. The city is nearly as big as the capital city. The difference is that this city is built on an artificial island and it is not owned by any kingdom. People in this place were said to be slaves,
Life is always important. Good or Evil... That is what I want to believe. I, Konoha travel previously killed countless people. I decided to value life more. It's been months since the last time I killed someone. I tried not to but she left me no choice.I still think about it sometimes. What is the possible way to save Audrey from her suffering? Why does innocent Shaymi need to die?The more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes. I try not to hate anyone. The concept of good and evil might be beyond me. Maybe it is beyond human understanding. Or maybe I'm an airhead who can't see the truth.Anyways, the lesson of the past remained. Even though I failed in sticking to my principle of not killing. I will continue to look for a way not to kill anyone as much as possible. It's the same way of thinking I want Ren to have.I put down my pen as I finished writing my Travelogue."Wait, something good happened earlier. Better put it too."I took my own again and wrote it down.Ren'
