I prepare myself to receive an attack from James. My eyes scan the other six people standing around us. Their flashlights are pointed at the ground, preventing me from seeing clearly. I just rely on my ears and a bit of residual light.Gargan and Viviz are already standing beside me. It's not just me who senses this suspicious situation.James approaches slowly, he doesn't take out any sword or weapon. But I'm still wary because he might be able to use his fireblast.He is standing right in front of me, slightly looking up because I am taller. His hand pats my shoulder slowly, I can feel his strong palm. In this position, if he attacks me even just a little bit, I can break his hand easily."We're going to make a tent here."I'm stunned. That's not the sentence I expected.He passes me and his subordinates start to scatter. They clear trees and branches, while the others take tents out of their packs.They really make camp. So he doesn't intend to attack me? Or not yet.Gargan and Viv
Ken is dead on the spot with a dagger that goes through his back. We are all silent, looking at the perpetrator who walks calmly and then pulls his dagger from Ken's body.It is shocking for them, not for me, because I know this guy is not as good as his appearance. Lola and Peter lowers their heads and then slid behind me. Look, who's the coward now?James cleans the remaining blood on his dagger with leaves. He still manages to give us a warm smile before putting the dagger back into his pocket.I can hear Lola's heavy and rapid breathing. Seeing your friend die is never fun.“Oaths must be fulfilled, right? Do you think I have no ears?” James says, still with that smile that makes him scarier.When someone kills with a smile, it means that person is dangerous. He is no different from a psychopath who kills just for fun."I'm sorry, James," Lola says quietly in a trembling voice.After all, Ken died because of her, if she didn't take the initiative to tell me the location of the bos
Gin never paid close attention to the weapons Zack used because he had never seen him fight directly. But just when Gin saw the dagger, he immediately recognized it. After all, the dagger had been beside his neck a few days ago.How could a person who never let go of his weapon suddenly lose it?Gin's eyes did not leave the weapon as he approached the crowd. The people there fell silent when they saw his big figure approaching. A man named Erick confronted him with his chin raised, boasting that he was class A."Who are you?""What is that?" Gin ignored Erick and pointed at the dagger lying on the table.Some people who were there got up and blocked him, stood in front of the table and one of them took the dagger.“None of your business,” he said.Gin took out a gold leaf from his pants and showed it to Erick because he was standing closest to him.Erick's eyes widened when he saw that. He had never seen gold leaf like that and anything made of gold had to be precious. Gin purposely g
It had been five thousand years since the last gate that appeared in Greyos. However, it only took thirty-five years on Earth. Not as long as Gin thought, though all of his acquaintances were probably dead by now. A little relief and hope came through his heart. His brother was probably alive and well today. Gin imagined Gray who now looked older than him. "How do you know my name?" Erick destroyed Gin's imagination. Gin could hear Erick's teeth grinding and his jaw clenching. His eyeballs almost popped out from glaring too wide. Gin sighed lazily. He knew from his peeking skills but there was no interesting information about Erick. "Say! How did you know my name?" Erick shouted very loudly. With a sound like that, James' spies might hear them. “You want to challenge me? Are you looking down on me on purpose?” Erick lost control. He was furious though there was still a look of shock on his face. Eric clenched his fists. His eyes suddenly turned blue. Rumbling sounds surrounded t
"That thing is dead, Your Majesty." A figure with a black robe that covered all over his body knelt in front of Amenus. He lowered his head, not daring to look at his King with his two eyes."I know." Amenus stood up from his throne.The wound on Amenus' stomach almost healed but the pain lingered. It was a wound he had never experienced before. Even though his wound had closed, the pain was still the same as when he first got it and was getting worse day by day.He had confirmed that there was no curse from the wound. There was also no poison that attacked his body. The wound from the holy sword was far worse than he had imagined."What would you do, Your Majesty?" the black-robed man asked.Amenus stepped towards the bowl of water beside his throne. The surface of the water was like a screen, showing the image of a dark place. The screen didn't move, not after Gin crushed his doll.He saw everything, Gin and his subordinates entered the gate and fought the Amenus doll with light att
"My Lord, you said you don't care about them, why are you going to save them?"Gargan's question made Gin stop his steps. “Wouldn't it be great if there were more people on our side? We have many strong enemies this time.”Gargan and Viviz shook their heads. They were not humans who have empathy. For them, Zack and Ellya were just partners who could be used and thrown away whenever they want.However, Gin didn't want to force them to have a bond with Zack or Ellya, even though it would help them work together. After all, Gargan and Viviz were weapons, they were made to kill."You can defeat them all alone, Master!" Viviz replied.“You can defeat them without using us.”They were so cohesive this time. Unfortunately, that wasn't the cohesiveness Gin wanted."Why don't we just take the stone?" Gargan made a small jump to get ahead of Gin. Then she turned around, walked backward while watching her master's face."James and the others will take it and we'll steal it later.""You can take
A small smile appeared on the boy's lips when his eyes met Gin's. On the outside, he looked like an ordinary child with swollen eyes and a red nose.But something about his gaze made Gin frown. There was something off here.When the other two people entered, the boy's gaze turned sad. He did it smoothly like a top actor.[Shandy Hess][Title: Human][Ages: 24][Class: S][Level 3000][Magic stats: 1500][Mana: 20000][Skill: Smoke Manipulation][Main quest: Kill the Dungeon Boss]And the other one was a man with porcupine hair.[Loki][Title: Human][Ages: 26][Class: S][Level: 2000][Magic stats: 1500][Mana: 30000][Skill: Speed][Main quest: Kill the Dungeon Boss]They were all S classes. But Gin's attention quickly turned to the man carrying that boy. He was stocky and had father-like eyes. Unlike James who often faked his smile, this man called Mike didn't smile much but he looked like a good man.[Mike][Title: Human][Ages: 32][Class: S][Level: 0][Magic stats: 0][Mana: Inf
"I don't care if you want to kill him."No one expected those words to come out of Ellya's lips. The weak-looking girl had sharp and cold eyes. No matter what yells or punches she received, nothing discouraged her guts."Are you sure? He came to save you.” Mike asked once again. It wasn't the answer he wanted.Ellya clicked her tongue. Even Gin was surprised by her sudden change in demeanor. Ellya was soft and cute like a little sister. But the girl tied up there looked more like a thug."I don't care! Kill him and release me!” Ellya screamed and raged.Ellya was killed after the gate came. At least, she already knew the order of the earth after the arrival of the gate. She knew how strong an S class was and what they could do.Gin smiled, a sincere one. He was touched by Ellya's kindness. She trusted him. She believed Gin is stronger than them and that helped Gin to find his confidence."Okay, if that's what you want," Mike raised his high sword to cut Gin.But Gin held his sword wit
