Luca's experience in setting up the campfires can be said to be impressive. Even after the branches have been burned, the ashes and residue can be neatly arranged without scattering everywhere. He also placed some rocks around the fire that they could use to boil water on.When traveling, it is crucial to have sufficient provisions such as food and clean water. Sometimes, they also need warm drinks to maintain their body temperature when things get cold."Why don't you want to tell me what happened at that time?""I have no obligation to that.""I am the fourth son of the Emperor, and I have the right to know the details of the incident which endangered our empire," Luca was still insistent, arguing with the young master.Archie did not deign to share the details of what he experienced, "What the villagers said, that was more than enough material for your report," he concluded.“If that masked figure can bring the Inverse disaster, you are the only key that might provide us with detai
In this world, countless numbers of magic items are scattered. Tools that help humans facilitate and carry out their lives. From simple items to super rare items, from the most common to the most forbidden. Magic items are treasures for those who can maximize their potential. If one awakened a crafting-like class, such as Blacksmith or Alchemist, they could ensure their future life wouldn’t lack in terms of property and wealth. Craftsmen will always be helpful wherever they are. They can create many magic tools and add improvisation to increase the item’s usability value. Alchemists can also uniform various types of buff and debuff potions. These classes are classes that have an essential role in social life. Even fighter-class adventurers will not hesitate to recruit crafting-like classes into their party. Like other fighter-type adventurers, the Craftsman class also requires an ascended class to raise their quality. In another sense, they needed to follow dungeon conquests to col
“Isn't your father home yet?”“Papa? Papa is on guard in the eastern part of the village, will probably be back soon.”Archie walked together toward the little girl's residence, and he felt uneasy after hearing the little girl's explanation.With a small population, guard duty is carried out alternately, and each individual's workload will double to fill the vacancies of participants."Mama, I'm back," said the little girl and ran into the house.While the young master walked as usual from behind because he was carrying two buckets of water, Archie was surprised how a little girl like her could carry a bucket almost the size of her own body."Mama, we broug
A group of bandits called Moneybags is often the subject of much talk by many people. Not only was it rumored that their leader was a former Redcaste-class adventurer, but also rumors that another group called The Clown had joined forces to support this bandit group. With dozens of members, predictably hundreds, Moneybags has succeeded in seizing dungeon treasures that have not been illegally colonized. Although from the other hand, it could be positive since the harmful effects of dungeons didn't spread. These criminal organizations were constantly raiding the areas they crossed. Not a few of their members also have qualified classes in dungeon conquest and infiltration or sneak missions. In gathering information, they will usually spread several members to spy on certain areas before finally attacking. When the news came that a calamity had hit Alian village, this group of bandits moved to spy on the village but weren't having much luck. They saw that there were guards patrolling
“This is crazy, this could be our golden opportunity to plunder some treasures from that village, right?”"Hah? What do you mean?"“Oh come on, don't act stupid. If Foster gets here, we probably won't have a chance to loot anything. He could have immediately cast his greatest magic and scorched them.”The binoculars and the curly bandit kept exchanging opinions on whether they should go ahead and try to snatch as much loot as they could or just wait for the other comrades to arrive.Their chief never sent a man named Foster unless they were sure to burn a place. That's why they already have the final picture in their head.“That means the chief doesn't regard this small village as a precious plac
Foster came faster than the time they set. For now, they did inhabit a small area near the Bellstead border, north of Alian village. With the help of magic earing resonance, they quickly gather near the hill.“It's unusual. You guys are too fast,” sneered the young bandit.“That Clown told us to come to this village in a rush, and what have you done? You stupid." Foster, a tall man whose purple coat hid one side of his face, said in a condescending tone.“What do we do? We are monitoring the village and waiting for you guys to come, right?” replied the curly bandit while his two comrades nodded.Bam! Foster hit the curly bandit in the stomach with his wand.“Uhuk…what…what are
Foster’s blurred vision dust didn't easily weaken him. The man could guess from which direction the attack would come by predicting the wind pressure due to Archie's magic slash.His experience as an adventurer and dungeon-conquering veteran was no ordinary thumbs up. A magic option class is usually vulnerable to physical attacks and has to play in the back row. Foster can counterbalance Archie's movements quite skillfully.Prang! Archie's third slash was intercepted with metal crashing by Foster’s wand. At the same time, his second attack bounced and shattered upon colliding with the suddenly appearing fire magic.At this point, Archie’s skill [Wind Slash] can attack three times within six seconds. If Archie only uses one slash in those periods, the skill will automatically enter cooldown mode for
Another fireball appeared three times bigger this time than the three former fireball explosions. The size and heat that was the combination of the three blazing fireballs gave off heat that made it difficult for someone to move.“Hahaha, thanks for gathering them in one place. Now I can scorch you with a single spell.”Erick, who had lost his concentration, was beaten back by Foster, and because of the hot temperature, Erick had a hard time deciding his moves.A giant fireball splattered flames and burned what it caught."I could have used [Call: Meteor] to raze this small village to the ground, but even with this spell, it doesn't reduce my fun," continued Foster, who was still enjoying himself.Neither Archie n
Archie awoke to a peculiar and unfamiliar dream, disorientated by the commotion outside. Looking around, he struggled to grasp his surroundings and the situation at hand.Gradually, he realised he was lying on a bed of soft grass, when suddenly a loud noise shattered the silence. It was the voices of the people who had just emerged victorious against three raging demons.He gingerly touched his temple, feeling the tender wound. While he couldn't recall much from the dream, he sensed it had been unnervingly vivid and had left him anxious.Getting up, Archie surveyed his surroundings, taking in the warriors' smiling faces and cheerful chatter. They wore expressions of fulfilment after their triumph over the demons. Archie was relieved to still be alive but overwhelmed by the reality of the situation.
As the group entered the city, they saw that chaos had already begun to unfold. Buildings were on fire, people were screaming and running for their lives, and there were strange creatures roaming the streets. Akhem and Harlequin seemed pleased with the destruction they had caused, but Archie felt a pit in his stomach."What have you done?" he asked, looking at them with horror."We have done what needed to be done," replied Harlequin. "We are bringing change to this world, and sometimes that requires sacrifice."Archie shook his head, unable to comprehend the cruelty of their actions. "This isn't change, it's destruction. Innocent people are dying because of your actions."Akhem chuckled. "Innocent? There is no such thing as innocence in this world. Everyone is guilty of
As the group made their way through the desert, Archie couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about the situation. The sandstorm had died down, but the air was still thick with dust and it was difficult to see more than a few feet in front of them. Akhem and Harlequin led the way, with Archie following closely behind.Suddenly, Akhem stopped in his tracks, causing Harlequin to bump into him from behind. Archie almost ran into Harlequin as well, but managed to stop just in time. "What's going on?" he asked, confused.Akhem turned to face them, his eyes scanning the horizon. "We're being followed," he said in a low voice."Followed? By who?" asked Harlequin, also looking around."I don't know yet. But we need to keep moving and be cautious," replied Akhem.
Harlequin and Akhem exchanged glances before turning back to Archie, who was still trying to process the information. "We don't expect you to make a decision right now," said Harlequin. "We understand that this is a lot to take in. But we hope that you'll consider it and join us in our cause."Archie remained silent, unsure of what to say. He had always thought of himself as an ordinary person, not someone with the power to change the world. The idea of possessing a grimoire and using it to achieve such a goal was overwhelming.After a few moments of contemplation, Archie spoke up. "I need some time to think about this. It's a big decision, and I can't just jump into it without knowing all the facts.""Of course," said Akhem. "Take all the time you need. But keep in mind that the longer we wait, the more difficult i
As they walked through the crowded streets, Archie couldn't help but notice the fear and anxiety on people's faces. He wondered if it was related to the strange occurrences happening lately.They arrived at the town square, where a large stage had been set up. A man in a white suit was standing on it, addressing the crowd."People of Krakal, I come to you with a message of hope. For too long, we have suffered under the rule of corrupt leaders who care only for their own interests. But I promise you, things are about to change."The man's words were met with mixed reactions from the crowd. Some cheered, while others remained skeptical.Akhem turned to Archie and Harlequin. "That man is dangerous. He's using the people's fear and frustration to gain power."<
As Archie continued to train with Harlequin and Akhem, he began to notice their growing obsession with the idea of changing the world. At first, he didn't think much of it, but as their training progressed, he couldn't ignore the darker undertones in their conversations.One day, while they were resting after a training session, Archie brought up his concerns to Harlequin and Akhem."Guys, I have to be honest with you. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this idea of changing the world. What if we cause more harm than good?" Archie asked.Harlequin and Akhem exchanged a quick glance before turning back to Archie."Archie, we understand your concern, but the world as it is now is flawed. We have the power to change that, to make it a better place for everyone. Don't you wan
The world was in turmoil. Wars ravaged the lands, famine and disease were rampant, and natural disasters were becoming more frequent. In the midst of all this chaos, two individuals emerged with a grand plan to change the world. Their names were Akhem and Harlequin, and they were the leaders of a secretive organization known as The Clowns.Akhem and Harlequin believed that the world was in dire need of a massive transformation, and they knew just the way to achieve it. They had discovered a powerful artifact called The Tree of Elders, which they believed held the key to their grand plan.According to legend, The Tree of Elders was a sentient tree that had existed since the beginning of time. It was said to possess unimaginable power and wisdom, and those who were worthy could gain its favor and wield its power.Akhe
“Like I said before, we just need to buy time until the time limit for summoning these demons runs out.”"How long?""I don't know. It could be days, or even months.”"That's crazy. We can't possibly last that long,” Dannais was frustrated to hear that.Naturally, even though Archie only exaggerated a little, it doesn't mean that the potential for it to happen doesn't exist at all. If the demons existed and survived by absorbing things from this world, then they wouldn't be able to continue to defend against it and the humans would definitely be wiped out in a few days.“I'm just exaggerating. Since I fought them first, they haven't gotten stronger or weakened, it seems my thinking in that direct
The situation at the church had not been much different since Archie had left it some time ago. The bandits and guards were still squabbling and attacking each other while occasionally cooperating when the demons attacked them. Even so, it didn't seem like it would make their fortunes any better.Archie still has a somewhat blurry look in his eyes, the effect of a ritual that somehow he could do. He thought, it seemed that indeed the holy power was intertwined with each other, or, Elashaa Whitehall's body which was empty of holy power, still had traces of being able to receive the holy power from the Grimoire of the Light.Occasionally, and not infrequently, earthquakes still occur wherever they are. Everyone just thought they were facing a natural disaster, but no one would know that this was one of The Clowns' plans.
