“Tsk… Not a single scratch, huh?” I muttered, as I discerned what my bullet could do against the tough exterior of the Komodo Dragon.

My bullet still did something, but the damage was unrecognisable. But if I continued accumulating those tiny damages, maybe we could dent that armour and damage the monster in the long run.

As soon as the Komodo Dragon’s failed, the beast submerged back to the ground and concealed itself once more. That creature quickly disappeared just as quick as the moment it had appeared. And when the lizard finally hid itself from me and the people, it let the worms and the little horde of lizards attack the group of survivors one by one. The tactic instilled fear and chaos on the battlefield, letting me be preoccupied with something rather than thinking of ways to counterattack the beast’s cheap trick.

The children and the mother that the Komodo Dragon attacked fell on the ground, with tears and sweats flowing from their eyes. Their hands shook every time the gro

    “Let me do it.” As soon as I turned around, my eyes were greeted by Elena’s face. “I heard you need to place these people on the other side to win this fight. Maybe I can help. I will rally the survivors and wait for your signal. Don’t worry about them because those people will listen to me. Tell me where to go.”It was logical that I would let Elena do those things where she would gather and instruct the survivors to a place where I could bait them for the Komodo Dragon. But if she heard the plan, Elena must know the consequences if I mess up. She cared about the people more than Hina and I. And if I let others be in danger, I would never hear the last of Elena’s scoldings and hatred.So I confirmed it with my eyes and ears as I asked a question to Elena, “Are you sure about this? If you heard us talk about the plan, then you know that…”Elena cut me off and nodded, “That you plan on using these people as bait to lure the lizard and kill it for good, right? If that’s the case, I’m al

    “HEY, YOU LIZARD! COME AT US!” When I thought we lost hope, Elena, the girl beside the group of survivors, shouted and caught everyone’s attention. The survivors beside her didn’t know what to do. But since all those people trusted her, most survivors followed along and shouted with her as well. However, those who valued their lives more than seeing the entire picture itself ran for their lives, hoping that would save them from possible danger. Some people who ran were attacked by the worms, while others experienced extreme panic attacks. Despite seeing their greed and selfishness, I covered their areas and saved those people, regardless of what they did… Except for one thing. I knocked out some people who tried pushing others to save themselves. Those few individuals even dared to use children and mothers as their shield so the monsters could take them, not the one who had pushed those survivors. I couldn’t tolerate such an act, considering that this was a time of crisis. And no pe

    Winning this fight was impossible. After losing most of our arcane, Hina and I became exhausted for the second try. Even though we, somehow, forced the ultimate form of the Komodo Dragon, we had already used up most of our spells and mana. The only thing left for us to do was to instruct survivors to try and save themselves while we recover. Maybe Hina had enough arcane to create a wall for the two of us and still kill the lizard for the second time, but we would experience casualties. For the first time, I thought I could save everyone without seeing someone killed on the ground. Witnessing people dying took a toll inside my mind, and I didn’t know what to do about it. My goal was to create a world where normal people could live their lives without the nuisance of these portals. Little did I know that I was still an immature and ambitious teen wishing to reach the moon using a car. If only I mastered my ability and sucked up my trauma from firearms, maybe I could do something abou

    I wanted to tell Will about Hina’s condition and the way Akihiko passively made us his slaves. But even though I kept those feelings to myself, Will saw right through me and asked the others to leave us alone momentarily. Hina, who had awoken from the aftermath, saw Will, the elite members of the Crimson Guild, and I in one place. Of course, she immediately thought this was war. Thankfully, when my sister saw my reactions, I shook my head and non-verbally told her that everything was going to be fine. And she should follow the rest of the adventurer’s instructions.“I’ll come back for you, okay?” Hina uttered, and slowly walked away from my sight. Will could include Hina to our conversation, but I doubted she could add something useful to the topic. Even though she was aware about everything, having more people in a conversation would turn into a discussion. And if there were more people involved, ideas would clash and the meeting would extend before we knew it. And that was also the

    “Akihiko Yoshitsugu, the prime minister of Japan, sent me here to save his daughter, Elena Yoshitsugu. It’s very hard for me to say this, but Akihiko wants to save Elena because he doesn’t want to owe any adventurer’s guild, specifically the Crimson Guild, about it. He told me that once Akai gets his hands on Elena, he will force Akihiko to resign, and Akai will be the next prime minister of Japan and the representative of the United Nations…” I explained. It was the truth. “Akai and I actually conversed about it… about why he had framed me as the culprit for those unusual killings. Akai told me that it was all part of his grand plan… That the people needed someone to blame for all those killings. And placing the blame for the portals wouldn’t do anything. Conveniently, I was there, he said, and used me as the suspect for everything. Now, the people trust the Crimson Guild more than me, a nameless adventurer who’s just trying to survive.”“Not to mention, Akihiko offered us his help…

    I knew I had to invite Hina to the discussion. But since Will requested that the meeting would be limited to the three of us, I had no other choice but to accept. And, besides, our conversation became fruitful. I didn’t think that Will and I would reach an agreement, especially after experiencing aggressive adventurers sent out by the Crimson Guild to kill me, including Akai himself. The only thing that was a bummer was the handcuff placed around my hands. Although I understood Will wanted to supervise me, it would be better if I could roam freely having nothing to shackle me.This menacle produced excruciating pain every time I moved while using an ability or dared to conjure any spells at my disposal. The more mana I used, the more powerful this fetter became. I could easily break them, but Will and those four adventurers would think badly about the image. And if the worst happens, these adventurers would attack me, following Will’s command. Will must have known that I was powerful

    Before I could even forget, I told Will the criteria of how to defeat the portal. Fortunately, the same thing happened to them. They already knew about it, but I told them anyway that we needed to travel around one hundred kilometres just to reach the exit and fight against three swarms. We already completed the first swarm, As Will stepped foot on the centred platform, he immediately caught the attention of the surrounding crowd. The survivors lent their ears for the old man as Will opened his mouth and explained the situation. In addition, Will also explained that we would resume our long walk after narrating everything they had to know. Will told everyone about the future of the group and the Crimson Guild would be in charge of our defences instead of me. Recently, I was the one who explained to everyone about the current situation. But since the Crimson Guild, the most popular and strongest guild known to humankind, these survivors hastily switched sides and praised the heaven

    Will thought for a few moments before carefully choosing his words and answering the woman’s question. “That is…” Not until he couldn’t.The words didn’t escape Will’s mouth even though he tried. Although I knew the reason behind it, Will refused to disclose some information to the public and left it a mystery for everyone. ‘They don’t need to know,’ must be the words circulating inside his mind. It was better than way, so he wouldn’t let out things the crowd doesn’t need to know. Silence was the key. And if this topic died out and if Will and the others could handle these swarms of monsters, I doubted those survivors would speak up their minds.And if i was in his position, I would’ve done the same thing.Finally, after all the preparations the adventurers and the people did, the clock had ticked. Everyone went to their posts. Will had a different thing. Instead of using the bravest people from the survivor’s group, the old man prohibited everyone to join the fight or even get near

How many days had it been since the time I had been luring and fighting these beasts? Two months? No. Two months were short in my calendar. If I had to guess it right, I was up here for eight months fighting and evading these monsters. I fed myself with arcane from my surroundings and made it my nutrition. Although magic particles were different from real nourishments, it was enough to keep me functional. And my body was still in top shape. I also forced myself to sleep only for an hour and wake up dodging those projectiles for the umpteenth time. There was nothing inside my mind but evading these ambushes, hoping I could, at least, strike back with my rifle. But the time never arrived. The lizards weren’t the only creatures present in my vicinity. There were more of them. If I had to name a few, t

When I was six years old. I didn’t need money, a lavish life, or things that I could call mine. There was only one thing I wanted, and that was my parents. I wanted them to live. But with one sudden moment, my wish turned around and burned me alive. My parents were killed by monsters, not humans. The fiend was around a hundred feet tall, and the village we were living in took the invasion. They were reptiles. These monsters had the shape of a dragon, which was technically a lizard with wings. According to the internet, unidentified beasts kept appearing from nowhere, and there were others who fought against them. Those individuals were not the police officers. I believed they were called guilds. And as I glanced around me, the news and other people claimed that t

Even though he was Obsidian, the face of my brother carved itself on the man beside me. It was as if Aoi two was a dog barking and biting people left and right only to realise he needed someone’s help… He needed my help. And now he had faced his fear and listened to the words Aoi two wanted to hear, his ears calmed down. His ears discerned what was important.‘But what now? What are we going to do now?’ I thought, and looked at the downcasted face of Aoi two. As if knowing the question inside my head, Aoi two returned my gaze and uttered, “I know… you are confused. But we don’t have much time now. As soon as I fought Aoi in this world, the entities behind these portals were already high on alert. And I

    Hina’s Perspective _____________________ “Come with me.” With one phrase, the masked man offered his hand to me. He used his other hand to lift Aoi’s body and cast a spell that changed our surroundings. “I’ll show you something.” Obsidian showed no signs of hostility. And the voice behind the masked man soothed my ears as if it was some sort of music with perfect beat and lyrics. I gazed at the man’s hand, wondering if I should take it. I had seen something like this before. But something was off. And at the same time, there was a peculiar feeling of calm and genuineness. He almost reminded me of my brother. In spite of these feelings twirling inside my mind, I shook my head and answered, “I don’t… want to... I won’t leave…. My brother! You… Want… to kill him… I’ll…. Stay by…. His side…. Until you… can kill me…” There was a chance that the masked man wanted to pull me apart from Aoi. And I never wanted that to happen. The moment the masked man heard my words for the umpteenth ti

    Hina’s Perspective_____________________All my life, Aoi did nothing but help me with my problems, regardless if it involved him or me. As long as he noticed, which he always did, my brother would rush towards me and help. Aoi really forced himself so hard until he could see me smile. And even though I pushed him countless times, he continued crawling his way back in my arms. I could still remember those days when we were together, especially when these portals hadn’t shown up. Life was simple back then. If only Aoi’s parents didn’t die, maybe he could’ve lived the life he deserved. But his life was taken away by a murderer and the portal. And now, we were given the chance to confront the man who stole his life away. But even so, we couldn’t defeat him. I… couldn’t do a thing. Aoi did everything he could to stop the madman from hurting everyone, despite knowing none of the strangers, but he failed. And the only thing I could do was to watch him suffer.Maybe if I trained hard enoug

  • Chapter 232 - I lost

    As I glanced on my side, Hina still wanted to fight. She stood up and used the rock beside him, but her legs kept shaking as if an earthquake struck us. But the ground remained still. There was no earthquake. And when I appraised her status, my system described her with a fatigue ailment in addition to her drained mana right beside his health bar.[Iron Maiden has been deactivated. Obsidian is too powerful to be compressed!]Those were the words that marked our doom. The moment Obsidian broke free from the [Iron Maiden] all hope was lost. I had no idea how to win now, especially when my sister was on the ground. She couldn’t me right now. But Hina had already assisted me until her body fell on the ground. Although she desperately forced herself to move and stand with the help of a rock, Hina couldn’t cast any more magic and would remain sluggish until she could recover her mana. Obsidian stood on the other side of the map, unscathed and unbothered from the spell. The [Iron Maiden] wa

    Time wasn’t on our side. Obsidian tried hitting us with his sniper, but Hina continued lifting me up and creating walls in front of me. It was as if she was reading my movements. When the masked man pulled the trigger and launched a set of bullets in my direction, I went to the side despite having no platform for me to step on. But I trusted my sister. By the time I jumped above ground, I trusted my instincts and rolled on the side. Like I had said, there was no ground to catch me when I fell. But as soon as I gyrated my body, a floor made of soil immediately materialised and cushioned my feet. The next thing I knew, I tumbled to the side and evaded almost every bullet coming in my way. The shells that I couldn’t dodge still didn’t hit me. The moment those leads from the masked man could take me out, Hina summoned a wall in front of me and protected my face.I didn’t have the time to thank my sister and carried onwards with the fight. Time was also our enemy. So when I found an open
