Arthfael, Zeke, and Valentina walked slowly, entering the dark and dry cave. The heat became more intense as they entered the cave."Oh my, this place is filled with green plants, but the air is so hot, like being in the middle of a volcano," Valentina murmured, fanning her hand toward her face, trying to alleviate the heat she felt.Arthfael continued walking until they finally stopped in the middle of the cave, where the Inferno Falcon was located. They saw a large bird with a big beak sleeping in the center of the cave.And right in front of the creature, there was a small tree about 50 cm tall with beautiful dark blue fruits."What are those fruits?" Valentina whispered to Arthfael, as she had never seen those fruits directly before.Arthfael looked at the fruits, and suddenly, like in a video game, information about the fruits appeared.The man was surprised to learn that he could easily identify the fruit with just his desire. Even the function of the fruit and the place where i
Arthfael and Valentina exited the cave, and just as Valentina had predicted earlier, Zeke was still crouched in front of the cave, his shoulders trembling in fear as he continued to hear the sounds of explosions and rumblings from within."Zeke, let's go back," Arthfael called out.Zeke still didn't hear Arthfael's words and continued to cower, his body shaking beneath him. Finally, Arthfael approached Zeke and tapped his shoulder."Zeke," Arthfael called.Zeke jolted and his eyes welled up with tears as he saw Arthfael standing in front of him. He immediately stood up and embraced Arthfael."Oh my goodness, sir! I thought I would lose you in there! The sounds of explosions from within were so loud that the ground was shaking and trembling violently," Zeke exclaimed.Arthfael smiled, patting Zeke's shoulder, and looked at him reassuringly. "Zeke, never underestimate my strength. Even though I don't possess magic, I am still quite powerful. You see? I'm not even hurt at all," Arthfael
Arthfael stepped into the headquarters and hiding place of the soldiers, guards, and even the prince of the Kingdom of Esteria. As he entered with Ian, Zeke, and Valentina, the royal soldiers turned their gaze towards Arthfael, surprised to see the figure of Valentina, who was none other than a fairy.Fairies were considered the rarest creatures to encounter due to their small size and extraordinary tasks. Typically, fairies were assigned to guard human children or even children of some monsters. But this time, Valentina, a fairy, had to assist in watching over and protecting Arthfael, a human from another world."Oh, it's a fairy," whispered one of the soldiers, realizing Valentina's presence next to Arthfael."Look, it's a fairy. It's my first time seeing one," replied another."Turns out she's so tiny. No wonder we never realized fairies were around us," murmured another soldier.Although they tried to hide their conversation, Valentina could still hear it, making her feel uncomfor
"Sir, this is your room with Miss Valentina. We apologize, but we can only provide one room because this place is quite small, and all the other rooms are occupied by other royal soldiers," the royal guard said to Arthfael.Although he spoke in a flat tone, Arthfael could see from the man's eyes that he seemed slightly scared and worried that Arthfael would get angry. But in reality, Arthfael wasn't like that. Instead, he patted the guard on the shoulder and smiled, saying, "It's okay. Besides, Valentina is also small in stature. We can share the room."The guard nodded happily and said, "Very well! If you need any assistance, please call me, sir. Or just shout from your room, and the guard will come."Arthfael was momentarily confused and raised an eyebrow, but he also nodded in understanding and said, "Alright. Thank you very much.""With pleasure, sir!" the guard replied enthusiastically and then left Arthfael.Arthfael entered the room and was slightly surprised by its condition,
Evening came, and all the soldiers of the Kingdom of Esteria gathered on the crowded first floor area. Meanwhile, Arthfael and Frederick were on the second floor to attract everyone's attention.Some people continued to talk about Arthfael and judged him not good enough to be a royal guest. Moreover, some of them knew that Arthfael was still at level 52 and not a magic user like them.Although most of the soldiers were at level 80, some of them could already use protective magic to defend themselves. However, Arthfael was not like that. That's why some of them underestimated Arthfael's abilities in helping the war against Firebelcher.After waiting for a while, Frederick finally appeared. However, he was not alone but accompanied by four women dressed provocatively. Arthfael turned his gaze towards Frederick."What are those women doing?" Arthfael muttered.Valentina sighed and whispered to Arthfael, "It's a kind of morale-boosting ritual for the soldiers who are going to war. So they
The entire army of the Kingdom of Esteria left their headquarters and scattered to various locations, including Arthfael, who went along with Frederick followed by other soldiers heading North.Throughout the journey, they remained vigilant, worried about the sudden attack of the Firebelchers as they headed North."Why am I feeling so scared? It's so quiet here. Maybe it's because the Ravenwood people have been temporarily relocated due to this attack," murmured Valentina, looking frightened and sticking close to Arthfael.Valentina continued to fly alongside Arthfael, constantly scanning the surroundings.Until suddenly, when they were almost reaching the Northern part, their journey was forced to stop as a Firebelcher monster appeared in front of them.Frederick, who was leading the way, was startled by the sudden appearance of the Firebelcher in front of him. Without hesitation, he drew his sword and swung it at the monster in front of him.Arthfael and the other five soldiers also
Arthfael's journey with Frederick and the other soldiers continued further into the Northern region. Several times, they were confronted by Firebelchers, which were swiftly struck down by either Frederick or Arthfael."By the way, your sword, did you make it?" Frederick asked, glancing at Arthfael's sword.Arthfael pointed to it with one hand. "This? No. The King Himself gave me this sword before I departed."Frederick smiled. "Oh, by my father? No wonder it looks well-sharpened even though it's not made from the best materials. But I'm grateful that the sword can function well in the right hands."Arthfael raised an eyebrow and turned to Frederick, who was standing beside him. "What is it made of then?""That's Ashbinger, right? Judging from the dark gray hilt, it's clearly Ashbinger," Frederick replied.Arthfael then turned his gaze to the other swords, which had handles in silver, red, blue, green, and even gold, similar to Frederick's."Each sword has its caste, and Ashbinger is c
No one can wonder what was on Arthfael's mind, but the man followed the voice in his head to do what had been said before. Arthfael quickly took his position, leaving everyone confused. He took a breath and exhaled slowly. Arthfael's eyes sharpened, and Frederick could feel the drastic increase in Arthfael's power, different from before."Let's begin," Arthfael muttered, then he started swinging his sword forward, backward, right, left, spinning, and repeating the movements quickly.As the space for him to jump widened a bit, Arthfael leaped backward, then he planted his foot along with his sword, creating a loud sound.Boom! Dooosshhh!The loud impact made the surroundings tremble. The Firebelchers around him instantly turned into ashes without Arthfael even touching them."I also want to receive a reward surrounded by beautiful women!" Arthfael exclaimed, then he swung his sword again and beheaded the Firebelchers around him simultaneously.Frederick's eyes didn't even blink as he w
