Fenrir, who was walking at the back of the line, kept his eyes on the people in front of him. There were only twelve people in this group. One B rank adventurer, Asher, ten C rank adventurers and a coachman who controlled the horse-drawn carriage that carried the merchandise. Asher did not bring too many adventurers, not only because the number of rank C adventurers from the bearclaw guild was not too many, but also because this mission was a special mission. Not many people knew about this mission. Only the guild leader, the head of the Trade Union and some of the higher-ups of the border guard troops knew about it. Fenrir who had arrived a little late because he slept too late last night did not have time to attend the introduction session, so Fenrir did not know all the names of the people who were there. The only ones Fenrir knew were Asher, Isaac, Connor, Mercia and Egbert who were Isaac's friends whom Fenrir had met at the tavern the other day. Fenrir didn't know the other fou
"Bruk...""Aarrrgghhh..."Connor's moaning voice rang through the air. Connor was clutching his shoulder which was in pain from having just been thrown by someone. Mercia managed to save Connor with her speed just before the axe thrown by the Orc general hit Connor's body. Mercia slightly threw Connor's body while saving him. So now Connor's body suffered a slight injury. "Hurry up and get up, witch. He'll attack once more soon."Mercia told Connor to get up immediately after seeing the Orc general about to launch another attack. Mercia ran towards the Orc General before the Orc General attacked. Meanwhile, Fenrir who was behind was fighting the remaining orcs. "Aren't we going to help them, Lord Asher? That Orc General is a pretty powerful monster after all.""Calm down, Rodney. I know the Orc general is quite a difficult opponent. But I'm sure if they work together, they can definitely overcome it.""You seem pretty sure about that, Mr. Asher. Are they really that strong?""I
Having had enough rest, Asher ordered the group back on the road. Connor had received treatment and was recovering, while Ned had yet to return from reconnaissance. Asher wanted to get moving. Asher also wanted to find out what really happened to Ned. They walked at a normal pace as before. Asher didn't want to look rushed and make the other adventurers feel anxious. They arrived at an intersection. Asher could feel the traces of Ned's magic passing through the right side of the road because it was the route they usually used. The right-hand route was faster, so more adventurers took that route. But that route has a greater chance of encountering monsters. Meanwhile, the left route, which is a slight detour, has a longer distance but the possibility of encountering monsters is smaller because it slightly circles the forest area. Asher was already preparing to walk through the route, but there was a voice from behind that wanted to tell Asher about something. "Asher, we'd better
"Egbert?" Isaac said softlyIsaac did not expect his comrade-in-arms who was one of the people he trusted the most to betray him. The pain of betrayal was more painful than the pain of Egbert's magic attack. "I'm sorry, Isaac. I had no choice but to do this."Egbert apologized for the betrayal he had committed. There was a look of regret on Egbert's face. It was different from Rodney who tended not to show a sorry look. "Good, Egbert. You were finally able to do it. I'm sure you won't regret choosing to be on our side."One of the enemy troops seemed to recognize Egbert. "Hamizan?" Isaac said recognizing the person who had just spoken. "Isaac, how unfortunate for you my friend.""What exactly is this all about, Hamizan? Why did you betray us and turn against us?""You know what? You've been set up since you first accepted this escort mission.""What do you mean?"Isaac was very surprised to hear Hamizan's words. Asher, who was still injured, was equally shocked to hear that fact.
"Fire magic, sword technique: sword of the fire emperor"Fenrir created a manifestation of an enormous sword with fire magic channeled into the sword, making Fenrir's sword appear to be an enormous fire sword. Fenrir swung his sword at the enemy who was immobilized by dragon fear. Inevitably, the attack swept away the enemy troops with great ease. The men were sent flying in various directions. Some were even cut into two pieces because they didn't have enough defense to withstand Fenrir's attack. Trevor was quite surprised by Fenrir's strength. He didn't have any information about Fenrir. From the information he received, he was only required to anticipate the strength of Asher and Isaac. "Who is that kid?"With a face full of questions, Trevor asked Rodney about Fenrir. "He is Fenrir. One of the adventurers who just passed the rank C exam.""A kid who just passed the rank C exam can't possibly have that kind of power. He must be hiding something."Trevor was certain that Fenrir
"Third technique, death stab."Fenrir continued his attack even though two people were blocking him. The two people tried to block Fenrir's fire attack, but Fenrir's fire attack was hotter than they imagined. In the end, they chose to avoid the attack. They jumped in two different directions. "That son of a bitch, he's ignoring us."The assassin who had previously jumped backward tried to go back forward and attack Fenrir. Fenrir, who was only focused on Rodney, moved quickly towards Rodney who was running. Rodney tried his best to ask Trevor for help. Trevor, who felt he didn't really need Rodney, let Fenrir continue to chase him. Trevor really enjoyed the hunt. For Trevor, a strong man deserved to annihilate a weak and cowardly man like Rodney. "Lord Trevor, please help me, please defeat that boy. Aren't we going to be allies?""Allies? That only exists in your dreams. Why would our guild ally itself with a coward like you."Rodney realized he wouldn't get any help from anyone at
"Sir, we have an emergency signal from the vice chairman."A soldier ran into a large room. There was a man sitting with his back to the door where the soldier had just entered. The man stood up and approached the soldier. A magic scroll with a message on it was given to the man. "I found a beast, come and see for yourself."The magic scroll contained a voice message from Trevor. The man held the magic scroll tightly in his hand. He looked up at the sky and from his hand a magic circle was created. Soon a large shadow began to approach the window that the man was staring at. The owner of the shadow became more and more obvious. A monster with the head and wings of an eagle, with the body of a lion flew in front of the window. A Griffon was hovering in the air waiting for its master to ride it. The sound of the Griffon's screams was deafening, even the beating of its wings could affect the trees around it. "How dare you interrupt my time, Trevor. I will kill you if this animal does n
Mercia did not answer Fenrir's question and instead quickly put her mask and hood back on as if to cover up something. Mercia jumped back about two meters from Fenrir, after Fenrir released his grip on her cloak. Mercia mounted her stance again as if she wanted to continue fighting. "Hurry up and get inside that wall of fire."Mercia who saw the earnestness in Fenrir's eyes could not help but follow Fenrir's request. Mercia entered the wall of protection without saying anything as Fenrir opened the wall of fire slightly to let Mercia in. "Protective magic, black dome."As soon as Fenrir deactivated the firewall magic, Fenrir created a dome-shaped protective magic that enclosed her companions. Fenrir was quite confident that the dome would be able to withstand magic attacks from even B rank mages. "Looks like your preparations are almost complete young man."Trevor, who had been monitoring Fenrir's movements, looked at Fenrir sarcastically. Trevor looked down on Fenrir for being to
