The sky was blue and the clouds drifting away gently like leaves falling in river water. Judging by the weather everyone will think it's a peaceful day. A day nothing of conflict and chaos. But the truth was the opposite. The war between the human and demon continues. The kingdom strength weakens after the major defeat of the Knight of Order.
With the lack of security. The demon king army invaded mostly of kingdoms territory. The holy Church and the true heavenly council. Already started their move to protect their territory from the growing power of the current demon king.
Aware of the chaos. A twelve-year-old girl named Alina Lightcrest steadily staring from a far distance from her big window. Staring above the sky is stares at the star shining brightly.
"Princess Alina the lunch is ready. The prince is already waiting on the table."
"Miko... Can you see it?"
"What is it, Princess?"
The princess pointe
The happening outside of the dungeon was told. Also, some insane character was introduced. Just what side she's in. What is her motive? Why she's so odd? About the star only she can see will be a secret for now. The next chapter will continue Retto and Glenn's progress. As always thank you.
Standing still in the river back. Glenn and I were facing each other once again for a training duel. This module is one of our daily routines. Glenn teach me sword arts and martial arts that he knows. The style his teaching me is the one called Underworld sword style and Underworld martial arts.Underworld sword style specialized in many different attacks while securing the swordsman's security. Most importantly, the sword style wasn't required to use magic to activate the skill. The skill that can be pulled in Underworld sword style consumed the swordsman's energy instead.Like Underworld sword style. The Martial arts variant used the physical body and covered it with Energy to enhance one's physical capabilities.For someone whose born without magi. Using skills without Magic is a special way to cope with my shortcomings.Unlike before Elaina wasn't around us. She's currently back in the Inn learning to cook with her new friends. But it doesn't matter.
Drench with the heavy rain. A girl chasing her breath opened the door of the Inn. She introduced herself as Elaina's friend named Lenny. With an extremely uncomfortable face. She told me that Elaina was in danger. "What do you mean by that? Where exactly is Elaina?" "You heard the rumors right? It's been floating around the city for a while. What a beautiful woman with silver hair arrived. That was offering to Elaina. Elaina's beauty interest the lord of the city and now going all his way to get Elaina's heart. That's why every day Elaian was in trouble dealing with strangers and adventurers forcing her to go with them." "But Elaina always fights back. She is a powerful witch. She can't be defeated by that kind of men's." "That's true, but earlier. I saw Elaina crying and running on the city street. I intended to go and asked her what's wrong, but before I did. Someone already talking to her. Elaina let her guard down and she suddenly collapse. I trie
In the evening where the lord was slain. Glenn, Elaina, and I return to Inn to get our things and properly say our farewells to the receptionist and people who took good care of us. After killing the Lord named Zeno. We can't stay in the city of Danica anymore. In this dungeon, there is a law where Nobles are highly respected, and hurting them leads to execution. Is just like what Zeno said before he lost his life in Glenn's sword. Knowing that fact, I can't keep myself feeling aggravated. Why this law existed in this dungeon? This kind of one-sided law is easily abused by the people in higher-ups. Zeno took advantage of this law to sexually harassed multiple women already. He reminded me of the demon king on the surface. I wanted to cut him down with my sword. But that thought is not necessary anymore, because Glenn already finished him off. "Are you sure to go out in this heavy rain?" The receptionist said to us. "It's fine... We already exp
In the 12th stratum outside of the town. The three of us started to move to save the kids in danger. After meeting the stranger named Ron, he gives us the intelligence about the route where the slave traders will take to get into another city to sell the slaves within their carriage. Ron told us that he has some kind of favor he needs to pay to the beastman tribe. That's why he wanted to find people who will help them. Saving beast man made his heart at ease.At first, I was suspicious of Ron but seems like his a kind-hearted person.Our team hides behind the rocks waiting for an ambush.Taking a peek behind the rocks.The carriage is guarded by four adventurers. In front was an Extraterrestrial with eight legs. Its physical appearance was like the small dragon with rough scales. Behind it was three carriages said to contain the slaves or the beast-man who were forcefully taken from their loved ones.Fire burns in my heart as I think about the suff
“So sweet… She smells so nice…” Ron sniff Elaina’s neck while her arm warped around her neck. The strength of Ron’s was making Elaina have trouble breathing. One wrong move for Elaina will be her death. While the sword points on Elaina. Glenn and I need to be cautious in our actions. “You both seem to be worried… I will feel the same way if my fuck toy will be taken away from me. Do you fuck her? Did the two of you fuck her at the same time? I bet you did. You’re not a man if you endure sleeping with a beautiful woman without doing anything to her. Someone as beautiful as her will sell lots of money despite being used many times.” Elaina trembles in fear. It looks like she got trauma in men touching her body after the incident with Zeno. I didn’t notice it till now. She is a high-ranking adventurer, but it doesn’t mean she’s strong enough to face her fear. She is still a fragile woman after all. Physically and mentally. “Th
After the battle with the slave traders and dismantling Ron’s true motive. We are invited by the beast-man who aided us in the battle to visit their tribe. Since our party is planning on going down the layers of the dungeon. We happily accepted their invitation.Unlike the normal path. We took a path only beastman knows. It s a shortcut going to the 14th stratum. As usual, it was complete darkness in this area. Walking shortly we reached the main beast-man tribe.Giant towering treehouses are attached to it and a bridge connects each tree. Hang up on the trees were a number of lamps containing ores that can glow. Those lamps are the prime source of light in this place.As I look around. I started to wonder how these crops and trees grow up with the blessing of sunlight. Compare surface It's near impossible for trees to survive the harsh condition of the dungeon.Arriving the little girls saw their parents. They first made an emotional fac
Our discussion is over. The feast arrived on the table. The aroma let out from the food alone gives me the feeling of being full. We enjoyed ourselves with the plenty of food served to us. While eating a pretty girl with cat ears serve me another round of roasted meat. She took a glance at me and give me a sweet smile. My heart race after seeing her. It's truly inappropriate for me to look for another woman, but her cuteness is just different from humans. They have fluffy ears and tails. They have the face of a human and overall they are as human. Still, she’s very cute. Sorry, Yunis for my sin. I closed my eyes and repent. Elaina and Glenn still distancing themselves from each other. Elaina is still affected by the truth that Glenn would never gonna fell in love with her because of the curse he has. This truth truly hurt the heart of the maiden in love. But this distance between them irritates me. If we're going to travel toge
“I remember something like this from my master’s notes.” Elaina said. She then turned her head to her bag and took out a note. She rushed herself and searched for it. Reaching the page she presented it in front of us. “Be careful in the flower field of the 15th layer. If you spot one of these insects among the petals, you’ve found their nest. They disguise themselves as flowers and attack and implant their larvae inside organisms that come near them.” After reading, we heard a voice coming from the victim. “Who? Who? Who are… you? Save… me?” We’re disgusted and at the same time pity the man who falls victim to this insect. “They're dangerous. The larvae entered the head and created the perfect living meal for themselves. Innumerable extraterrestrials have been turned into living food sources, as well.” “If that’s the case then this place was supposed to be off-limits.” “They’ve already created a massive next within t
