Dungeon of Zero Chapter 173: Darkened lands (Part 5)
In the demon king castle.“What is the meaning of this?!”Prince justice or more know today as the new demon king slammed his hand on his desk furious. He gave his eyes on the map of Fiore. In the months that passed, his army is not making remarkable results.“They are chosen by the god, but they aren’t able to do any result. Their faith to be saved isn’t great enough That is why they keep on failing and failing one after another!”“The orc lords are fully enhanced. Making them all evolved monsters from what they are before.”The one speaking as another demon name Zerr. A demon with a young man’s body covered in black and his head with two giant horns resembling a Taurus. On his hand, he adored the red apple as if it were a fine jewel.“If they are powerful… Why are they all defeated.”Prince asked.“There is a hindrance… There is a report about a group of powerful knights protecting a small village. They took the villagers to shelter and defeated mostly of our supreme demon.”Zerr sa
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 174: Darkened lands (Part 6)
Three hundred knights deployed toward one destination. From afar, Falfa could already sense the supreme demon giving her unpleasant vibes. The lack of sprites in the air weakened the power of the spirits like Falfa, since the sprite is the source of their magical power. Detection of magic is not needed to know the supreme demon's location. The Supreme demon Hydra is so big it can be seen from a far distance.Retto observed the Hydra’s body with his gleaming eyes, looking for possible weak points. He exhaled deeply and said:“There are nice demon hearts located on each of its heads.”“Hearts in their heads? Their neck was so long, is it even possible for magic or us to reach that place?”Momo said.“Don’t be pessimistic. We’ll definitely bring that massive thing down.”Nagu said confidently while he was shining his blade.“That’s right, we’ll bring that supreme demon and free people from fear.”Koroko said and turned to glance at me with a smile.They even said that. An anxious feeling
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 175: Darkened lands (Part 7)
After the success of the supreme demon hunt, the knights who fought their best made a feast to celebrate their victory. Everyone is noisy, dancing, singing, talking about stories, and lots more. I’m happy that no one died in the battle. The Hydra was supposed to be a very strong demon, but it seems like the new Knights of the order are far stronger. Information was the key. With the information we gathered, we’re able to plan before fighting. The feeling of anxiousness remained in my heart. I can’t help it because it is the same feeling I felt when we raided the demon king's castle a long time ago. During that time we all have what we need. Information, plan, manpower, and skills. But we still lost… We lost because of the incredible power of the demon king. Because of that tragic event, I came to lose everything. Including my precious feelings for Yunis. I’m traumatized. Now we have acquired power and have got strong people with us. I am sure that this new Knight of Order will brin
Dungeon of Zero Chapter 176: Darkened lands (Part 8)
Not long after receiving the witch revelation. I immediately go to the southern temple alone. Everyone is exhausted from the demon hydra extermination. I don’t want to bother their rest. I would like to go alone like I was planning, but this girl always insisted on going with me. Falfa and I ride an earth lizard to the south. Earth lizards are fast runners and we’ll be there to our destination within half a day of continuous travel. “I think you forgot something, Retto?” “What was it?” “How about your apologies?” There is nothing to be apologizing about. I didn’t say anything to Falfa earlier because I don’t want to drag her down. I want her to have a peaceful time in the town for a while. “I apologize.” “That’s the coldest apology I ever heard that not like you at all. Why’d you gone to the forest alone? Why did you sneak outside of the town alone? We’re partners right… We make an oath in protecting each other.” “I’m sorry for not telling anything to you… I’m worried that I mi

“Please promise me not to harm Falfa while in the middle of battle.”“Suggesting a one-on-one fight. That’s would be unfair considering that you get boost magic from her.”Skeleton knight said.“I understand… Then, Falfa deactivates the magic. I’ll fight him with my own strength.”“No! I’ll fight with you.”“This is the battle between me and him… Believe there is no way I would let myself be defeated. After going this far and doing lots of things to fix this crumbling kingdom. There is no way I would be defeated.”I said smiling at Falfa.She give me back her smile and followed what I instructed. Deactivating the enhancement magic and stepping back from the battlefield.I fought the loss of battle… Humans, knights, monsters, demons, and extraterrestrials. I should be confident in my own strength. I defeated the demon king before and I’ll defeat another one. Liberating this kingdom once and for all.Held my sword and took a deep breath.“A knight won’t break promises… As promised, I’ll

After the successful recruitment to the cursed warrior, Hazan. The three decided to take some rest first in the water temple before going back to Nell town. Little that they know something had already happened in Nell town just one hour after Retto and Falfa had left.While the knight was enjoying their feast.A knight in white armor has appeared falling from the sky. She stand on the impact crater which she created and turned her head around. Unsatisfied after not being able to find what she is looking for she asked:“Where are Falfa and Retto?”The knights gaze at each other in confusion. No one can blame them because from the very start Retto and Falfa had introduced themselves as Brenn and Kanna. Their reaction is believable for the information they know. But it was different from Artemisia. She does her research and traces Retto’s location little by little until he reaches this place. She even tortured some people to give her some information.For her pleasing her creator was eve

The beam of light slash cuts down the extraterrestrial and the mountains. Theoretically, there is no way someone could survive a direct hit by the formation attack the knights made. Artemisia was in another story. Before she was hit, she activated her relic overdrive form and cut down the beam of light. The sword relic ability transformed into an all-cutting blade. A sword that can cut through anything the user wants. Air or space is no exception.The knights weren’t naive to assume that their enemy was defeated unless they saw the dead boy of their target. One of the important things Retto teaches them. Uncertainty happened on the battlefield all the time. A knight must stay vigilant.Still, it was still a shock that their attack didn’t kill Artemisia. Nagu himself is surprised and gazes at Artemisia with respect.Nagu was the strongest among the knights. His dragon blood and the blood of the noble knight ran in his veins. Gift him the strength and dexterity of a dragon and the huge

Before the raid began, a brief meeting was held for planning was made. With the help of a new comrade, the knight's strength increased. Beast men are half hybrids of humans and animals. Their body is naturally strong and sturdy. They would be great vanguards. The other force to fear was the cursed skeleton knight. Being immortal on the battlefield is already an advantage. A Skeleton knight does have immunity over almost everything except physical attacks. His weakness is only for him to know. His being secretive to Retto might be a sign of distrust, but that though doesn’t pass on to Retto’s mind. The Skeleton knight has pure devotion to his goddess. There is no way he's going to defy his goddess's wish.Skeleton knight and Retto have mutual faith in each other.“First of all, I’m apologizing for lying about my true name and for not being there with everyone during the time of tragedy.”Retto bowed his head to all the knights.Retto feels guilty and ready to accept all the blame every

“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 si

Short story 12: Secret spy (Part 1)
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

Chapter 223: Voided Memories
Eden city, City hall. Dia clutched her temples trying to relieve some stress. “What is going on?” She whispered and stood up from her seat to get some tea. (I was gone for quite a while and problems pile up. Is that murderous Latina still doing her job? I take that back, she’s doing her job. She hated me more than anyone in this world. But she’s a big help, that’s for sure. I could not imagine myself doing this intense work without her.) Dia spawled back in her seat. She blow the hot steam first and sniff the relaxing aroma for a moment before she made her first little sip. She then shifted her sight to the paper laying on the desk. Most of them are report letters for spies Dia deployed to investigate other kingdoms' actions. The land that pull her interest the most was the neighboring country Ruki kingdom and The remote Islands of Youko. Youko wasn’t part of the world organization and they always push any offer from other countries as if saying that they could survive on their

Dashing at the dunes of the great desert back to Foire territory. I’m not planning on going to Fiore to ask for help from the knights. I’m merely going to use the route from Fiore to Yuno kingdom. Knights of order aid will be great, but I decided not to bother them. The last time I visited, I find out that they were having a long battle between the kingdom knights. The demon king might be gone, but the war continues. It will be inconsiderate of me if I ask them for a selfish favor. I have no exact plan on how I’m going to save Falfa. This might seem like jumping on a cliff, but I can’t help myself to jump. I have to save Falfa no matter what. This desperation is driving me to my limit. I’m still full of hatred for the recent events. Why Belle would do something like this? Belle is not the type of girl who will order such a cruel task. I believe in her.

“Princess Alina… Your tea is ready.” Miko placed the cup of tea accompanied by several variations of sweets. As for the girl in question--Alina-- was busy glazing into the unknown. For what reason she’s looking high up in the clear blue sky? For sure Alina won’t be adoring the blue sky. She is not the type of person who likes beautiful things after all. The craziest part was that Alina was standing in the same spot in front of the giant window for one week. She’s not sleeping or eating anything. Her eyes were simply fixed on something. Miku deep in her heart was worried and would like to ask what is going on. But if she does, that might be the end of her. In other words, death. Miku simply support her in whatever Alina wanted. There’s still the tea she serves earlier and Alina’s favorite strawberry shortcake. Miku can’t do anything but have a deep breath and placed the untouched food back into her pushcart. “Good night milady.” Miku greeted her and bowed her head before leaving Al

Chapter 220: Witch Contract
“I’m dead!” I sat up as I woke up. Immediately I have my hand on my chest and check my wound. There are no wounds in my chest. My body is perfectly fine. I was skeptical myself and look around. The place where I found myself wasn’t someplace I know. There's no floor but I’m sitting. No walls or anything. The closest description I could ever think of was that this place looks like the starry night sky I usually gaze into. From some angles, this place looks majestic. I didn’t notice immediately, but there was a girl sitting on a throne in front of me. The face same as Elaina's. This girl was the Cosmo witch. “You really mess up there.” She said. “You here to help me again. Thank you so much…” “Help you?” The witch gives me a cold gaze. My limbs were torn apart and my head was skewered by a golden sword. “... Don’t get ahead of yourself. I’m not helping you or anything. Well, in some aspect we can say that I was helping you. I mean, you are dead right now and I’m the only one wh

A 50-meter-tall dragon appeared out of nowhere. Monsters aren’t supposed to get through the barrier of Liana. The barrier of Liana is been protecting the whole continent for hundreds of years. While I was dashing in full throttle something from the past resurfaced in my mind. In the past, the time Falfa and I were still new on this continent. There was a case about the havoc of the horned bear. The main culprit for that was the wyvern that took their shelter away from the bears. I took care of them and finds out that a part of the barrier melted. The hole wasn’t clear to the naked eye and only I who had a gleaming yes could see it. Wyvern noticing the hole is simply dumb luck. However, there must be someone who can see the barrier just like me and… Is this event caused by my ignorance? I want to live life os selfishly thinking of my happiness with Falfa. I don’t want to live like a hero who will selflessly dive into danger ever again. I don’t want that feeling anymore. But why am
