Fenrir blinked his eyes and tried to frown, trying to analyze his current whereabouts.
"Hey, little guy, wake up, you're not going to sleep all day are you?" the green-haired woman looked annoyed that Fenrir was not paying attention to her at all.Fenrir held his stomach which was still sore from the kick last night."Where is Mrs. Freya?"Fenrir slightly got up from the bed trying to find Mrs. Freya's whereabouts with a sense of worry, he was now certain that Mrs. Freya was not there."The photographed woman you mean? She wasn't there when I returned after defeating some people outside this house. What exactly did you do to be hunted down by those assassins?"Fenrir did not pay much attention to the woman's babbling, because what was certain was that Mrs. Freya was not there now.Fenrir tried to get out of the house and looked outside."Hey, where are you going with a wound like that?"The woman pulled Fenrir back to the bed and placed her hand on Fenrir's wounded stomach.And a miracle happened, the wound Fenrir had suffered was now fully healed.Fenrir could not believe what was happening."Who are you, and how did you do it?" Fenrir looked so surprised, he had never seen anything like this before."Is this the first time you've seen magic? What exactly have you been doing all this time?"The woman was no less surprised than Fenrir who seemed to be amazed by her magic."What did I do? I garden, tend the garden, clean the gutters," Fenrir said innocently."Huh?"That was the only word that came out of the woman's mouth signaling how disbelieved she was by what she had just heard."What's wrong with that, it's the work of a slave, what else can a slave do?" Fenrir tried to get up, but the woman stopped him."Obviously a big mistake, it's really a big mistake."The woman really did not believe what she was hearing and was likely annoyed by Fenrir's innocent reply."How could someone with as much magic power as you just become a slave?""What?"Fenrir's mouth gaped at the woman's statement, Fenrir never felt he had used magic even once in his entire life."Magic? I've never even seen anyone use magic, let alone use it."Fenrir really did not believe the woman's statement, it did not make sense to Fenrir's logic."Your crystal blue eyes show everything little man, and I'm here too because you called me, how could you not be able to use magic?"An argument ensued between two people who were both unable to accept reality."I never felt like calling you, nor do I know what your name is, where your home is, and where you come from. "A tough debate continued between them."Those are unimportant things in summoning magic. Let's put it this way, what was the last thing you did before you fainted?"The woman felt annoyed at Fenrir's explanation which was far from the expected answer."I forgot, because besides my stomach, I also hit my head. But wait... I remember the last thing I did after shouting Mrs. Freya's name was to read the last chapter of my mother's book. ""Your mom's book? Where is it? I want to see it. "Fenrir found the book he remembered falling around the entrance of the house. Fenrir picked it up and gave it to the woman.The woman flipped through the book and tried to understand the contents of Fenrir's book. Several times she made an inexplicable face, making Fenrir wonder what the woman wanted to know from the book of fairy tales."Who gave you this book?"The woman asked with her gaze fixed on the book."Can you read it? "Fenrir answered the question with a counter-question, causing the woman to turn to Fenrir with an annoyed look in her eyes."Just answer my question." The woman gave Fenrir a sharp look, eager to hear the man's answer."I got it from my mother, it used to be my bedtime story book," Fenrir explained a little confused when the woman looked curious about the story book."Ordinary people will not be able to read this book, but for witches this is a precious book, where did your mother come from and what was her name? ""I don't know exactly where my mother is from, because we used to move around a lot. But my mother's name is Leona."The woman's face showed a look of disbelief, but a moment later her face returned to thinking about something and her gaze returned to the book she was holding.Fenrir who was looking at her could only guess the contents of the woman's mind. "Have you ever heard of her?" he asked finally."I've only ever heard the name of a witch similar to her name. However, I can't be sure they are the same person. I still need to find out more."Fenrir looked outside the house and occasionally tried to locate Mrs. Freya."What was the last page you read little man?"Fenrir looked back, then replied, "The last page, if I'm not mistaken."The woman nodded and opened the last page of the book. And she looked so surprised by what she saw."What kind of spell is this?"Along with her shock, someone from outside the house shouted Fenrir's name."Fenrir, come out quickly! I know you're inside. "Someone called Fenrir in an angry tone. Fenrir knew very well whose voice it was. Mr. Pedro showed an angry face from the direction of the door. Fenrir was silent upon seeing Mr. Pedro's arrival."What are you doing here, huh? How dare a slave like you leave work. It's a good thing I didn't put you in the stable with the cows just because I followed Mrs. Freya's request. "Mr. Pedro's anger was so intense, it was as if he could shoot lasers out of his eyes."I'm sorry, Master Pedro, I came here looking for Mrs. Freya, but Mrs. Freya is nowhere. "Fenrir racked his brains for an excuse to appease Lord Pedro's anger and it seemed that Lord Pedro had also started looking for Mrs. Freya's whereabouts by circling around the house but did not find her."You go now to Lord Zeldris' place before your head is cut off by his, you know that Lord Zeldris doesn't like to wait?" Mr. Pedro's sharp gaze was still directed at Fenrir.Fenrir simply nodded, "Yes, Lord. "Fenrir ran towards Lord Zeldris' residence. But there was something that had been bothering his mind, where did the green-haired woman go? And to make Fenrir even more worried, she was missing along with his mother's book. But right now Fenrir was more concerned with going to see Lord Zeldris because before he looked for the woman it was more important to see Lord Zeldris so that he would still be alive."You damn slave, where have you been huh?"Zeldris immediately kicked Fenrir to the ground before he could approach, Fenrir who was used to receiving such treatment got up again to approach Zeldris."How much time do you think I've wasted waiting for a despicable slave like you?"Zeldris stepped on Fenrir's toes and when Fenrir lowered his head slightly, Zeldris high kicked Fenrir's head. Fenrir fell back down and got back to his feet, Fenrir never fought back and never answered any of Zeldris' taunts because he knew only additional punishment would be received."How's my High Kick, great isn't it? It's one of the kicking moves taught to knights." Zeldris looked proud as she kicked Fenrir and showed off her skills."Are your slaves okay with you kicking like that, Zeldris?"One of Zeldris's noble friends was afraid that Fenrir might die from Zeldris's cruel behavior. But he couldn't do anything either, except watch and see."Take it easy, this trash is like a cockroach, he won't die just from a kick, he's really like a trash cockroach. Hahaha." Zeldris laughed every time he insulted Fenrir "Do you want to take his place as my training tool?" Zeldris then turned around, looking at his friend.Zeldris' friend immediately retreated while shaking his head at Zeldris' bluff, it made Zeldris laugh happily followed by other friends who giggled at Zeldris' behavior, it seemed that Zeldris was happy because here he fully dominated his friends and his slaves."Today we will play throwing targets, and of course Fenrir will be our target again today."Zeldris opened the event like a royal host, Zeldris always made the rules and everyone had to follow her. And the rule this time was whoever hit Fenrir's head the most was the winner.Zeldris invited some of his friends to start first. And Fenrir took a position standing in front of the tree as his target, one thing Fenrir knew was that if he avoided then his punishment would increase, so Fenrir could only surrender.Throw after throw was made, some just passed by but not a few also hit Fenrir's body and head.Now it was Zeldris' turn to throw, 5 of his throws missed and only 1 stone hit Fenrir's body, on the sixth throw Zeldris began to advance step by step until on the tenth throw, Zeldris was now close to Fenrir. In this game, each person should only throw ten times per person, but Zeldris had other plans."You're dodging on purpose, damn slave? Damn scum!"Zeldris grabbed the stone she was supposed to throw and struck Fenrir several times on the head. Zeldris hit Fenrir's head while counting each of his blows."10 times I threw a rock at Fenrir's head, so I'm the winner!" Zeldris shouted to his friends and was greeted by the frenzy and applause of his friends, in their hearts his friends were horrified by Zeldris' behavior, but they were also afraid that they would have the same fate as Fenrir."Young master Zeldris, Lord Zeldris' mother calls you to her residence."A servant of the Clark family called out to Zeldris and Zeldris threw away the stone his was holding and cleaned his hands of Fenrir's blood."Damn! This cockroach blood got on my shirt, let's get out of here guys, I need to change my shirt before I meet mom. "Zeldris walked away leaving Fenrir alone with all the wounds he had given her."Geez what happened to you? You should have fought back."A woman approached Fenrir, Fenrir hoped it was Mrs. Freya but it wasn't, there was a little sadness in Fenrir's heart, because it was times like this that he missed Mrs. Freya's presence the most."I will make you a strong man, now that I know who your mother is." Fenrir looked up, staring in wonder at the green-haired woman."I will make you a strong man, now that I know who your mother is. "The Clark family servant suddenly turned into a green-haired female witch. For a moment, Fenrir was shocked but the pain on his face was so painful that even being shocked hurt. Fenrir could only hold his face and move away from that place without responding to a single word the woman said. The only response Fenrir gave was a face of pain. "What a misfortune for my nephew, give me your face, I'll heal it in an instant. "Fenrir was surprised to hear the woman's words, surprised by her magic and her words that called Fenrir her nephew. "It is better now that we return to the hut first and let your body rest, I can heal the wounds, but your body must also rest."Meanwhile Zeldris was annoyed because it turned out that her mother did not call Zeldris to his residence, Zeldris wondered who the servant was who dared to lie to her. "I will give a severe punishment when I meet her, who is the she who has dared to waste
Fenrir who heard all of Silya's words could only shake his head. How could a slave like him have a great mage mother and have such special powers. Fenrir still hadn't accepted this fact. And actually from earlier there were things that haunted Fenrir's mind more so that Silya's words were not really heeded. Fenrir had been wondering where Mrs. Freya was."Didn't you go somewhere around here when you disappeared? Did you hear any news about Mrs. Freya?"Fenrir tried to change the subject and tried to find out Mrs. Freya's news. Silya who heard Fenrir's question only smiled sarcastically at Fenrir, because Silya expected Fenrir to be more enthusiastic to hear all of her explanations about magic but it turned out that there was only Mrs. Freya in Fenrir's head. "I went to a safe place to read this book, I didn't look for any info about Mrs. Freya. "Fenrir who heard that was just downcast, he felt worried about Mrs. Freya's safety. but he also didn't know where to look at night like thi
Mages in the Balmuth Empire have several levels starting from beginner, senior, advanced, expert, master, grand master, sorcerer, sage, great mage, archmage, and the highest is ancient mage. All of that depends on the amount of magic power, force control and the number of spells that can be used and many more things that can also affect such as the number of spells that can be used in one use of magic, how rare the form of magic used, how efficient the way to use magic, and many others.But there are some things that are usually used as a reference by ordinary people in the Balmuth Empire to determine the strength of a wizard, namely the level of a wizard is usually directly proportional to the wizard's work and to whom he works, such as the average senior and advance wizards they will become adventurers or join guilds to hunt in dungeons or do a quest to get money and rare items they want.Meanwhile, at the expert, master and grandmaster levels, on average, they will become a protect
Fenrir's anger really overflowed. Fenrir clenched his fists and prepared to chase Zeldris. when Fenrir had run towards Zeldris, suddenly a hand pulled Fenrir's body.Zeldris who had felt something approaching looked back, but found nothing, Zeldris passed with his friends out of the park. "What do you want to do? You want to die, huh?"Silya scolded Fenrir for what Fenrir was just about to do. Silya felt the killing air that Fenrir emitted when he wanted to hit Zeldris. Silya who had been watching the conversation between Zeldris and Fenrir from a distance also understood what Fenrir was currently feeling. But Silya could not turn a blind eye to the consequences that Fenrir would have to accept if he killed Zeldris. Fenrir tried to release Silya's hand and tried to go back after Zeldris. But Silya pulled Fenrir's body back and slapped Fenrir's face. "Wake up, Fenrir, what you're about to do could endanger your own life. Do you know who Zeldris' father is? He is one of the heroes of
This morning Zeldris planned to practice swordplay with his father, Zeldris had the opportunity to learn the sword techniques of the clark noble family directly from his father. Zeldris felt happy because finally the thing she had been waiting for had arrived.The Clark noble family sword technique is one of the best sword techniques in the Balmuth Empire. There are many people who want to learn this sword technique, because in the long history of the Empire, many of the owners of this technique have become big names, one of which is the current family leader, Gildart Clark, who has become a hero of the Empire and Zeldris' brother who has become a hero protector of the Empire.This made Zeldris even more excited that she would be one of the successors of this sword technique. Zeldris knocked on the door of his father's room, and someone from inside invited his to enter. The guard at the door opened the door for Zeldris and found a soldier inside who was reporting to his father. "Sit
Fenrir who was in the garden saw several people running towards the city center. Fenrir who saw his only turned his head and returned to his work, occasionally wiping the sweat that began to fall because of the hot sun this afternoon. "Did you hear? There was an announcement at the town hall, there will be someone who will be executed today.""Who will be executed? Is there anyone who dares to defy the family head lord's wishes anymore? Last time Lord Gildart executed his own younger brother for defying his decree.""I don't know, it's better to see it in person so we know what's going on. ""Come on, I wonder what that person did wrong that she was sentenced to death."There were the voices of two people who were talking and passed by Fenrir towards the town hall. Fenrir who heard that seemed uninterested at first, but he felt a bad feeling about this. Silya changed from her blue sparrow form back to human form. This was one of Silya's magical abilities, the shapeshifting ability.
Fenrir's huge explosion of magic power had evidently drawn the attention of someone from a distant place. "A familiar magic explosion, is it time for us to move master?"A black-robed person with fiery red eyes asked the opinion of the person in front of him. The person called master looked at the outside of the castle and seemed to have his mind wandering far away. "We will begin our plan, but we will do it slowly. Our plan must be successful and in accordance with our goals so far. I alone will ensure that our Lord's revenge is carried out."The master gazed intently at the painting on the wall of the castle, a painting of the dashing man the master called Lord. "I will avenge you Lord, and bring back our glory. "The master said inwardly showing how much loss and pain he had felt for the loss of his Lord. ---------------Silya was still carrying Fenrir away from the Clark family residence. With her rain magic Silya tried to eliminate the trail and ran into the forest. But th
Gildart seemed to have just woken up from his stupor. Next to Gildart was Albert who was the main servant of the Clark noble family. "How long have I been unconscious Albert?"Gildart held the back of his head that had been hit earlier. Gildart also felt a slight pain from the direction of his stomach. Gildart blinked his slightly blurry eyes and looked around the room. Gildart recognized this room, this was his rest room. "About half an hour sir"Albert said as he bowed slightly to Gildart. There was something that Gildart had just realized, if he was already inside the resting room it meant that the battle against Silya was over, because Gildart no longer heard the noise outside the room. "Where did Silya and the slave go? Did you manage to capture them? "Gildart's face seemed to turn red again remembering what Fenrir had done to him. A lowly slave was able to knock him unconscious. Making the honor of Gildart who was the Empire's protective bastion tarnished. This made all of
"Master..."A scream followed the woman's presence. A pained cry full of worry. Fenrir immediately lunged at Silya's body, which looked so limp and helpless. Fenrir managed to catch Silya's head which almost fell to the ground. Fenrir worriedly channeled his mana to try to heal Silya. "What happened to you, master Silya?"Fenrir unconsciously shed tears seeing Silya's limp and wounded state. The clothes attached to Silya's body were full of blood and there were many open wounds all over her body. Edgar, who was also shocked by Silya's condition, immediately ordered to call the healer troops to help Fenrir heal Silya. "Who has done all this to you, master Silya?"Fenrir continued to channel his mana to stop the bleeding on Silya's body. Some of the wounds looked so big and Fenrir could tell they were wounds from torture, because Fenrir had been tortured by Zeldris so many times that Fenrir knew exactly what they looked like. It was a wound from the lash of a slave whip. "Is that y
This morning the weather was very cloudy. I don't know how long it had been since the Seth Duat Desert was shaded by black clouds like today. Fenrir was seen opening a few pages from his mother's book as if to release his curiosity and nostalgia for his mother. Fenrir is now quite confident that he can use the entire contents of the book considering that his body's strength has increased rapidly. Even Fenrir can now remove all of his mana restraining rings and earrings without fear of losing consciousness. Fenrir was also quite sure he could remove the seals in his eyes without losing control. But Fenrir chose not to because he did not want the people around him to feel the impact of the immense magic power he possessed. "What book are you reading, sir?"A boy about five years old asked Fenrir about the book he was holding. Seth Duat was now a fairly safe and well-visited region after news of Wukong's conquest had spread throughout the Empire. Many merchants brought their families
With a sharp gaze Fenrir prepared to draw his sword. There was no hesitation in his eyes. "...No, sir. Forgive me..." Wukong again begged for forgiveness. "...I will definitely keep my promise. You can perform the golden headband technique on me to make sure I always obey your orders...""What is the golden headband technique?""...It's a special technique to curb my power. Every time you recite the incantation, it will bring unbearable pain to me, and it will make me follow all your orders. This technique was once created by a god to punish unruly servants..."Fenrir was quite curious about the veracity of Wukong's story. From his current state, Wukong would not dare to lie to Fenrir, because Wukong was also unlikely to escape with a body full of wounds. "Alright, teach me the spell."Wukong taught Fenrir the golden headband technique. Soon a headband appeared on Wukong's head. "...Look master. This is a sign that I am fully under your control..."Fenrir could also see a golden
An enormous dark red lightning bolt was seen striking in the middle of the battle. Its flashes of light illuminated the night revealing the blood-soaked land produced by the battle between the knights and Wukong. The lightning struck the body of Wukong who was being surrounded by dozens of Nordam Empire knights. The impact caused the knights around Wukong to bounce off as well. Wukong couldn't move from the magnitude of the attack. His body seemed to be rooted to the spot, paralyzed. The power of the Swordmage judgment strike sword technique that was strengthened by Suzaku's fire really gave damage that Wukong could not block. Seeing Wukong who began to fall, the knights were increasingly eager to immediately defeat Wukong. They attacked Wukong with all their might. The strength of the Nordam knights was no less great. After all, they were the chosen ones who were under direct orders from Edgar. With various attacks ranging from sword techniques, arrows, and magic were deployed to s
"This will be a long night. Our hunt in this barren land will soon end. I will lead you to victory.""To victory.""To victory."Edgar's short speech was followed by cheers from his troops, showing the spirit of the knights ready to fight on the battlefield.Tonight was the night Fenrir had been waiting for since he arrived in Seth Duat. After three months of struggling with monster hunting to extract their crystals and performing bone forging techniques on his body to have a much stronger physique, it was now time for Fenrir to show that these three months hadn't been wasted. Together with Mercia and Loki by his side, along with Edgar and the Nordam Empire knights he led, tonight they would finally attack Wukong's lair.The Scout troops had successfully confirmed Wukong's whereabouts after months of monitoring his movements. And tonight would be their first direct attack on Wukong's lair.Previously, Edgar and his troops had never directly attacked Wukong's lair and were more defensi
"This will be the last crystal shard I implant in your body."Edgar placed a dark purple crystal on Fenrir's back."After three months of crystal hunting and hundreds of crystals used for bone forging, this shard will finally be the last piece to complete the technique we've been working on."Using a mysterious technique, Edgar made the crystal on Fenrir's back emit a dark purple aura. The aura slowly entered Fenrir's body, causing him to flinch slightly. Fenrir felt again the warm sensation penetrating the bones in his back. A sensation that had become like daily food for him over these three months."It seems your body has absorbed it perfectly. With this, we can be sure that your body is now equivalent to an S-rank Warrior."Edgar patted Fenrir's shoulders with relief and pride. Because with this, he officially had an S-level disciple.Fenrir looked quite tired after going through this whole process, but the results obtained were far more than worthy of fighting for. Now Fenrir fel
Edgar and the rest of his troops pursued northward according to the information they received. ''What is this? Why are there so many monster carcasses all over the road we're traveling on?''Edgar stared in horror at the sights he had seen as far as the eye could see, where with every footstep, Edgar could see almost the entire road surrounded by dead monsters, occasionally he would see the bodies of adventurers or royal soldiers who had lost their lives and were just lying there.''I believe these are the carcasses of the victims of Wukong's ferocity judging from the bite marks. That means we're heading in the right direction. We must catch up as soon as possible so that no more victims fall."From Edgar's observations, he could confirm that all the monsters he saw at that time were the same type as the monsters that Edgar and his soldiers were currently targeting, so Edgar was very sure that the direction they were heading was correct. A few days into their journey, Edgar and his
"Well, I'll tell you a little about how I came to Seth Duat and how we decided to become blacksmiths in this place."After a while of pressure from Fenrir, Loki and Mercia, Edgar finally gave in. He finally opened up a bit about the story that led him to do all these things in the first place.It all started with the attack of the monsters who managed to break through the magic wall on the border of the Forbidden Place, which ultimately made Edgar feel like a failure and decided to change his appearance and identity so that he could guard and protect the residents of the area even if it was by stealth."Really? Then, let's quickly tell me about something." Fenrir was enthusiastic when Edgar finally opened up to him and his two friends and began to tell his story of how he came to be in that place."Ten years ago, I received an emergency message from the border gate of the Forbidden Place in the Nordam Empire. The emergency message said that there were many monsters who had managed to
They attacked Wukong simultaneously, applying considerable pressure on the creature. Wukong, receiving the successive attacks, became overwhelmed and eventually retreated for a moment. Although the attacks did not significantly damage Wukong, it was enough for Edgar to prepare his next move - his ultimate sword technique.Bruagh!Wukong's body was pushed back, crashing into several trees that immediately fell simultaneously. However, Wukong did not give up. Instead, the creature became even more fierce and attempted to launch an attack towards the soldiers behind Edgar again."I can't just stand here. I have to help Edgar. At least my presence here can provide some assistance. I will join in attacking Wukong using the Crimson Moon sword technique."Seeing Edgar preparing for his sword technique, Fenrir did not want to remain idle either. Fenrir also prepared his Crimson Moon sword technique to help injure the creature. Moreover, when he saw the adventurers cooperating to continuous
