"My Lord, I seem to remember who this creature is.""What do you mean by remembering it? Do you know her?""That's right MyLord. It seems she is a creature I recognize."It turned out that Loki had not participated in the conversation between Fenrir and Mercia because he was confirming something. Loki squinted his eyes at the furry creature of unnatural size in front of him, slowly the memories of a creature that looked exactly like an ape flowed into his head."Yes, there is no mistaking it. The ape monster currently in front is one of the legendary creatures in King Behemoth's castle that was imprisoned many years ago."Loki was sure of what he was thinking at the moment, even though his appearance was very different, but still Loki remembered it very clearly because he had met the ape monster several times before he changed like now.Fenrir immediately turned his gaze to Loki, letting the ape monster feast alone and consume the remains of the Sphinx's flesh that had only left bones
''Loki, Mercia, you should leave here immediately. Let me deal with this monster and restrain it so that you can escape from this place.''Fenrir told Loki and Mercia to leave the location of the battle immediately, he realized that if they stayed there, they would most likely be hit by the ape monster.''But, Fenrir. That monster is so strong, we should just leave together from here, I don't want you to sacrifice yourself just for us.''With a feeling of worry Mercia looked at Fenrir who was drawing attention from Wukong. ''Right My Lord, we'd better get out of here together. That Wukong is very strong and its power is very great because it has the element of darkness, you could get hurt if you continue to force yourself to fight it.''Loki agreed with Mercia who did not want Fenrir to continue sacrificing himself for the safety of the two of them, while Fenrir had to continue fighting with the dangers that lay ahead.It seemed unfair that it was Fenrir who had to continue to fight
"Who is that man? Why is he telling me to retreat?" Fenrir started guessing who the old man in front of him was. The old man in a knight's attire looked so stunning in the eyes of Fenrir, Loki and Mercia. The armor covering his muscular body truly surprised them with the sudden appearance of this strong man in the midst of the battle Fenrir was having with the Wukong figure in front of them."Don't waste any more time, you'd better retreat from here right now while that creature is still preparing its attack."The man's voice was heard again, causing Fenrir to freeze in disbelief at what he was seeing. He stood still, observing the person who had told him to retreat, making sure whether he knew him or not."I feel like I recognize that voice and have heard it before, but I forget when and where I met him. Is it possible that I haven't known him for long, but who is he?"After observing the figure for a while, Fenrir finally realized that the old man standing valiantly in front of hi
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
"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
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
"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
"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
