Albert looked so shocked to see the state of Assaf and the assassins. How could it not be, some assassins died with their bodies stuck to the roots of a spiky tree that towered upwards and some had become several parts that were no longer intact, a sight so horrifying, some soldiers looked sick when they saw some corpses leaving only parts of the body with their entrails hanging out. The morale of some soldiers looked so depressed seeing this scene, tragic deaths do happen often, but for some soldiers, this was their first experience seeing such a horrible thing. "Take the wounded troops to the rear, look for a more spacious place and dry ground to treat. All soldiers who have healing abilities help all the wounded and the rest collect the corpses and partially stand guard."Albert tried to restore the morale of his troops. Albert did not want the remaining soldiers to be mentally weakened and depressed. Albert also did not want the wounded soldiers to become obstacles to their move
"Well, our sleeping prince is awake. How did you sleep, sir? It seems like you had a beautiful dream, to sleep so soundly?"Silya teased Fenrir who had just woken up from his stupor. Fenrir was surprised that the sky was already dark and the stars were visible. From what Fenrir remembered the last time before fainting, it was still daytime. Fenrir's body still felt weak, the magic power he released seemed to be too great for his body to withstand the side effects. "Lie down, don't force your body. Let your weak body rest."Silya, who saw Fenrir forcing his body to sit up, suggested that Fenrir lie down. Silya approached and placed Fenrir's head on her lap. Fenrir who was not used to Silya's treatment instead moved his head back down. Silya, who felt annoyed, wanted to hit Fenrir's stubborn head. But Silya undid her intention because Silya realized that if she hit Fenrir's head, Fenrir would fall unconscious again. Fenrir who was in bad mood turned his face away from Silya's annoyed
Albert had returned to the Clark noble family's residence. After organizing the troops and disbanding them, Albert went straight to Lord Gildart. Albert made up his mind to be ready to accept all punishments from Lord Gildart. "I'm back sir."Albert said shortly after facing Lord Gildart. "Did you manage to catch them Albert?"Gildart didn't seem too enthusiastic about asking this of Albert, because Gildart was almost certain that Albert had failed, all evident from the look on Albert's face which looked so chaotic. "I failed to catch them sir."Albert said with his head bowed. Gildart stared intently at Albert. There was a great deal of anger that Gildart was holding back.Gildart moved so quickly and was now beside Albert with his sword pressed against Albert's neck. "It's lucky that I still need your magical ability Albert, otherwise I would have cut your head off by now." Gildart stared at Albert with the corner of his eye, revealing a strong murderous air. "Forgive my fail
Not long after they finally reached the village, Silya walked in front of Fenrir looking for something. Fenrir looked around trying to take in the surroundings. This village looked like a suburban village with not too many residents, as far as Fenrir could tell from what he could observe most of the villagers worked as grape farmers and merchants, but there were some who looked like adventurers as seen from the swords and clothes they wore. Silya suddenly turned to a place that looked like a tavern. Fenrir followed Silya into the place. Silya immediately sat down in one corner of the place and called out to the waiter. "I'd like to order two glasses of wine and 4 pieces of grilled meat."Silya casually ordered the food, Fenrir who saw Silya ordering food could only be surprised and shake his head. "Why would the master order so much food? We have no money at all.""I'm very hungry, it's been a long time since I drank wine and ate meat, if I remember correctly it's been seventeen y
Hundreds of years ago, the continent of Azaroth was divided into 2 parts, the eastern part inhabited by demon armies and the western part ruled by the human race and its allied races. At the beginning of the Empire era, there were 3 main Empires that ruled the human world, namely the Nordam, Balmuth and Aethelyn Empires. But over time there were changes in the Empire's territory due to wars between Empires, civil wars, political conflicts, Genocide, and conflicts between races, which caused some regions to choose to establish their own Empire. And now the Empire is divided into 5 Empires, namely the Balmuth Empire which covers the eastern to central borders, the Nordam Empire in the north, the Antharis Empire in the northwest, the Enchancia Empire in the southwest, and the Aethelyn Empire in the south. The Balmuth Empire was the largest of the five. In addition to its largest area, the Balmuth Empire is also the center of education, the center of military studies and the center of tra
"Wait, don't let them pass first. I want to confirm something."A guard who had just come out of the balmuth Empire's army barracks prevented Silya and Fenrir from entering the Forbidden place. The guard who heard this, stopped Silya and Fenrir from leaving. "What is it sir Hugo? Have they committed a crime?""No guard, I just want to make sure of something before they enter the Forbidden place."The person called Hugo approached Silya and Fenrir. Some of the adventurers who heard the commotion began to find out what was going on, and some of them seemed to know who this Hugo was. "Isn't he Sir Hugo Armani of the Armani noble family? One of the high-class noble families in the Balmuth Empire. Why is he here? Isn't he one of the leaders of the Empire's army, is the Empire making a move towards the demon world?""He looks so handsome and dashing, the high noble family is really different.""Isn't the Armani family aggressively recruiting troops? Does it have anything to do with them
"Fenrir I will show you something."Silya borrowed the sword that Fenrir was holding. Silya began to channel mana, and it seemed that the sword Silya was holding was enveloped by wind magic. "This is what I mean as mana channeling, doesn't it look different from what you did earlier?"Fenrir just nodded and looked at the sword that was enveloped in wind magic. "Mana channeling is used to channel magic into the sword we hold to create a magic slash."Silya swung the sword and revealed a wind scythe that cut through the tree in front of them. "While the aura that you did earlier is used to strengthen the sword, so that the sword is not easily broken by the opponent's attack. Usually aura is used by elite Warriors to coat their shields and swords, because their weapons are like limbs for Warriors that they must also protect.""Most Warriors can't use mana like wizards, so they develop a ki sense that doesn't require mana. "Silya tried to explain as easily as possible for Fenrir to un
The distance Fenrir was traveling was quite far from where they were. Silya now understood why she couldn't hear Fenrir's cry for help because of the distance. Here Silya began to ask how sensitive Fenrir's hearing was. The cry for help began to be heard more clearly. There was a woman with wounds on her body. "What happened?"Fenrir immediately asked about the woman's condition. There were several abrasions on her body and a scratch on the left side of her abdomen. "We were attacked by a werewolf pack, my friends were trying to drive them away, but we were outnumbered. I was injured and ran here trying to find help.""Where are they now? Did your friends survive?""They are not far from here, there are only five of us, me who is the detection part, two D rank mages, a D rank archer and a C rank Warrior""Didn't you bring a healer? "We only intended to search for materials in the outer region, but for some reason there are werewolves here. They should only gather around the centra
