The loud cheers sounded from the visitors, who were still in the main square. They enjoyed the musical art performance from one of the participants. After the participants demonstrated their skills, they immediately stepped off the stage, replaced by a young girl with an attractive appearance, came onto the stage.
Her smile amazed men visitors, and not a few women felt content pinching or pulling their partner's arm. Even though that wasn't the girl's aim, she first had to attract the attention of many people at once. That was the task given to her.
Since the festival started, if there's something you've been waiting for, maybe this girl may be one of them. She would come on stage after the main performances of the other contestants and promote a lot about Krakal. Not necessarily the same girl, but in appearance, all of them are on one level that can be pitte
On a quiet night, the Moneybags members started falling asleep one by one. They had just finished clearing a heavy, irregular dungeon. The pleasures of the treasures they earned with the labour they expended merged into one. They had stored the treasures neatly in one of the tents.Their resting location is far from the hustle and bustle of the city, and there are no villages or settlements near them. Instead, thanks to information on irregular dungeons from Moneybags' relations, they could move ahead of the empire and the church. At the very least, as usual, the empire and the church would become aware of this irregular location three days later. That was quite a long time for it to be used as a means of escape.They were impatient with the conquered property’s distribution. They even mark the items they want, even lightly argue with each other for the i
“Leader, Leader?! He had beaten us and managed to corner us. Eh. Huh?” This man ran, trying to save their lives by calling for help, but the people who could help them relaxed, lying down on their newly acquired treasure regardless of the commotion outside. Even the sound of his screams seemed to be ignored entirely. “Um. Leader?" Unable to ignore the man of their fun any longer, Roga the Knucklehead rolled his piercing eyes. Fear and reluctance seeped into the man who had just entered their treasure tent. "What do you want, huh? How come you Moneybags members can't beat that intruder? If so then you deserve to die. That way these treasures will completely belong to us, right? Ha ha ha." Following the flow from Roga, the four people in the tent joined in, laughing at the man's demeanor. “But—but, he's so strong. His movements are inhumane. None of us can keep up with him, and our magics are easily repelled when he breaks our formation,” the man replied, trembling. While they we
Haux whimpered in pain; he fell backward before his dagger touched Archie. Even though he was only a few inches away, it happened so fast that he didn't notice anything, and suddenly, a slash wound made an impression on his chest. "AH! Damn it. What the heck is this? It really hurts."The wound was quite deep, his clothes soaked with blood when Haux tried to stand up again.“Haux! Ch.”Roga rushes to help Haux, but Ouga screams to stop him. "You stupid! Watch out!" Roga noticed the intervention in short of an eye, his footsteps had stopped, and that's when he realized there was a trajectory of a crescent moon trying to slit his body. Roga was adept at dodging it, and Ouga used his greatsword to protect against similar attacks.The three slashes of [Traversty
[Fleet Foot] passively increases Ouga's movement speed and agility, making him faster and more agile overall. [Sprint] allows him to run forward quickly, increasing his speed and agility.Using those skills, Ouga managed to catch up with Archie's position and attacked using [Agile Strike]; this allowed him to perform quick and precise attacks that increased his movement speed in no time.All three are skills used as boosters, and never before has an enemy survived after being hit by such a deadly attack.Too bad Archie is one step further from them. Archie knew he should keep his distance from Ouga instead of constantly trying to dodge his lethal attacks.Not satisfied yet, Ouga cast his fourth skill, [Whirlwind], rotating his greatsword, increasing its movement speed an
The moonlight lighted the night. The battle area had been completely leveled to the ground, with nothing left. A large hole was formed in that place, still hot and smoking, leaving no ashes from the burned victims.Archie has beaten all members of Moneybags, and to destroy the evidence, he did it indiscriminately. Whatever it is, now that the task has been completed, in this way, the Power of the Moneybags will be reduced one by one. It was fine to face their crooks, but separating the troublesome higher-ups was the easiest way to undermine the enemy. Moreover, there were other aims of the ambush this time.“Oi, oi, oi. Isn't this too much? Even though you've gotten better at the grimoire doesn't mean you have to burn the entire forest, right? Plus, you didn't notice one person had escaped.”"Not that I
Another flabbergast news, which is also rarely known, is that Layla Whitehall and Luca Royal Redmond from the empire also received the Redcaste recommendation invitations from the university. Bringing Luca's name into the conversation was only necessary to see how the nobles would respond to one of the emperor's sons.As a result, the nobles think some behind-the-scenes play earned Luca the recommendation. The reason is that Unifine Magic University, the central originating organization, must give the Redcaste guidance to only some. But considering that Luca was of imperial blood, it was inevitable that there would be suspicious speculations like that going around.Archie sat beside Layla, smiling at the men near her, saying, 'get away from my lady' that only the male royals
The host, who identified himself as Patrick Rothfuss, suddenly took over the show. The guards and officers there were speechless, they only glanced pitifully at the young master regretting their incompetence in maintaining the festival properly. Patrick comes from a well-to-do noble Rothfuss family. The reason why Layla was worried and never expected Patrick to come was that Patrick was obsessed with her. He often approached Layla when she was still active at university until he forced her into the same group as him when there was a dungeon conquest mission. Even though Zachary had tried to give refusal and hinder the intentions of the Rothfuss family to approach their daughter, it didn't help much. Near the stage, Archie saw several male nobles who had previously fl
Finished with the yellow balloons, Patrick popped another from his palm, then tossed one to each person on the stage. A venial throw that is easy to catch. The thrown marble emitted light cathed and turned into a bow.Archie was shocked by the magic he saw. It was the first time someone could do this kind of magic. Moreover, the glowing bow seemed to suck Archie's mana when he held it."That is my skill, the bow of light, by using it you can shoot arrows of light as long as you channel mana into it," explained Patrick. He summoned his own bow of light and shot an arrow upward. His movement was so quick that it was hard to follow, and in a matter of seconds, the arrow of light hit the balloon and shattered it."That is how it is! Don't worry about balloons or arrows to use, both will be ready in a few moments, really
