“What are they doing inside the city?!” “The city was supposed to be protected by a magical barrier, right?” “Run!” “Go to the nearest evacuation center.” The residents are immediately put into a state of panic. They escaped as fast as they could. Unfortunately, a few residences are being taken by the demon kind and killed. Exterminators immediately deployed. Mercenaries in the crowd drew their weapons and joined the fight to defend the city. “Mommy! Mommy!” The little girl gets lost in the wave of panicking people. Crying out loud, searching for her mother. Wailing loudly, she attracted a demon kind to notice her. A 5 ft tall lizard demon appeared to her. Her face was filled with terror. She tried to run away but tripped because of her haste. Falling on the floor tile with a thud. “Urg…” She turned her eyes to her knee and saw blood spilling out. The lizard opened its mouth widely and threw its long tongue. “Not on the hero’s watch!!” A saber of light cut down the lizard's
The huge ball of flames unleashed by Red’s dagger quickly rushes to Rio. The demon girl defended herself by creating a wall of thick ice. Upon the two contacts of the elements. Thick steam spread around, limiting their vision. This resulted in Red having disadvantages. Unlike Red, Rio does have sharp senses. Her ears could hear the smallest footsteps and her nose could scent specific smells from miles away. Added to her ability to detect magical presence or energy around her. The thick steam becomes a thick smokescreen. Red took advantage without thinking. Or maybe he was consumed by anger and he wasn’t able to calm himself. All he wanted to do was exterminate Rio at that very moment. Red kicks the ground and goes straight to Rio’s back. By tracking Red’s energy. She already knew where the direction he was going. Rio intercepted with an upper kick, hitting Red’s jaws. After being hit, Red ignored the pain and immediately recovered to attack again. Yet, the result was the same. Rio i
With the high priestess's order, I was freed from my chains. After a brief time of treatment and healing, I was invited to the headquarters to have a conversation with the high priestess. I had many questions on my mind. Like what does the knight of heaven even mean? Choco does say that I’m her knight, but I never further push her because it seems like a sensitive question and she is not ready to give me an answer. Kisara and Charlotte wanted to come along with me, but the high priestess insisted that she wanted to talk with me alone. Entering the headquarters chapel where she usually resides. She’s sitting on the chair commonly seen in the churches near the altar, her gaze fixed on the angelic statue. I bowed my head. “Like I said before… There is no need for formality. For starters, you could sit down here.” She tapped the seat beside her. I sat beside her awkwardly feeling a little uncomfortable. She is really nice and the one who saved my life. I was very grateful to her, bu
I often think about waking up from a dream but at what point do we regain consciousness? Is it really when we wake up? Is it when we see familiar scenery and feel relieved that it was just a dream? “Mayu wake up… Mayu.” But… What if we don’t have a sense of reality even after waking up? … I opened my eyes and found myself in an unfamiliar room. My head hurts. I rub my head with my hand and notice some differences. I’m laying in a bed? This place seems to be a room. “Am I dreaming?” I said and pinch my cheeks. Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch. “I guess, I’m not dreaming.” I can feel the pain I guess I’m really not dreaming. Recently I’m still inside that dangerous dungeon. How in a world did I come here? All I remember is Retto, Kuroe, and Lumina's last glance toward me and everything whited out. I heard the voices of singing birds from outside. I stand up from my bed and look at what I see from the window. The refreshing scenery makes me remember the countryside of Japan. Except this
“Hayami Mayu welcome to Elesis.” Said Captain Yuri, and after that Rin brought me in, to spend the night with her. “Welcome to my home Mayu.” Rin gives me warm welcome to her home. Looking around the room, I feel like I can sleep here well. It's clean and tidy. More importantly, there is the bed. Inside the dungeon, I just sleep in thick moss and some monster fur. “Is this your room?” I asked. “Yes, the Elesis fort has female knights too so this is a residence for women.” “Ehh…” Rin then gets something from her closet and presented it to me. “Mayu this…” “What? Clothes!” “They’re clothes for you to wear now. As a girl wearing that dull-looking clothes is not good for you. A girl must always look cute. Not to mention you were naked when we found you floating in the sea.” Said Rin. My face started to become red because of embarrassment. My body grows up, I guess my clothes and equipment were destroyed during the process. Rin gets more clothes and gives them to me. “I have
“Alright, this is probably enough…” Rin said while we are riding horseback. With us is Marry the healer. “Are they in this forest? Slime?” I asked. “Yes.” Maybe you are wondering why we are outside together. After a chaotic day, I left the fort with Marry and Rin. Because… “You want to go hunt monsters!?” “In the monster area?!” Rin and Marry were in a state of shock. They don’t really believe me when I said that I came from the Crystal dungeon. I already got the title of dragon slayer and assassin. Looks like they didn’t have the skill of status-check. If they have that skill, I guess explaining that I’m strong is easy. That’s why I wanted to show them that I can defeat monsters. “Yes” I replied. “No way! No way! It’s dangerous!” “I know, but it’s alright I can use some magic!” “But still…” Said Rn and hold both of my shoulders. I turn my head away and muttered: “I want to know about myself.” “Uh…” “My memory is Hazy so I want to confirm some things about myself and
A high-level monster appeared. It’s level 50 and has poison attributes. One of my special ability consist in using poison. Meaning using that technique will not work on this one. This monster’s level is higher than mine. This is trouble, especially for these two. Name: Marry Race: Level: Type: Healer HP: 4,500/ 4,500 MP: 1,000/ 1,000 Skills: Abilities: Title: Name: Rin Race: Level: Type: Wizard HP: 6,500/ 6,500 MP: 5,000/ 5,000 Skills: Abilities: Title: Marry and Rin is in great trouble. “This is dangerous, Marry take Mayu and leave this forest. I will take care of this.” Said Rin. “No way, I’m doing that. I know Mayu feels the same. Let’s just fight this monster with all we’ve got. This monster is a Slime king and looking at its body color you can tell
Inside the captain's office. I’m currently asked to stay with her for the moment. “Here some cookies.” Said the captain's secretary Lily. “Thank you.” I accepted the offer and take one cookie then take a small bite. Upon biting, I notice how its sweetness is just exact and its texture is just right. This is what I call a great cookie. My eyes were sparkling and Lily already noticed that I like it. She smiled at me and leave the room. In the room, Only myself and Captain Yuri. Captain Yuri gets the item called a Status card. It’s an item that identifies the user's status. Marry already told Captain Yuri that I have a tremendous amount of magic, maybe she is just checking. “Sorry for calling you here suddenly, but I have to check you're status Mayu. If you are a runaway noble you should immediately return to your family…” Captain Yuri said. We’re still on that. “...Also, Marry said about you having some kind of memory loss. Maybe you suffering from amnesia because of some sort
