“Fine, I'll take it!”"Oh, that's right, I got this message from headquarters!"Gladio picked up the rolled up paper, as it was read. "Is this really true?" He became a little taken aback by its contents.“Yes, actually the paper was sent 5 days ago, but you didn't come! Some of the other adventurers who had gotten their hands on the paper had already started their expeditions, but since they did, some of them have never returned!”"Hmm... how strange, was this intentionally done by the monster side to make things worse?""I don't know, I don't know either! At this time the conditions are still uncertain, and it is impossible for an employee like me to be given more information!”"Okay, I'll check it out!""Thank you very much, I thought you'd object to doing it!"Gladio didn't reply, he quickly left the place.“Troublesome as well, but never mind, if the adventurers are gone it must have a terrifying element to it! It would be much better if I did it and got results!”And, when he ju
“Hooh… you can see a person's appearance, that's fine! Maybe I won't regret it either if you become today's opponent!”“Hehehe… that's right, I also think of you as a highly skilled opponent! But, before we do this fight, introduce my name is Severith! I am one of the demons with quite high abilities!”“You are making claims against yourself that you are a person of great ability!”“Of course, it must be done in order to give a strong impression on someone like you who seems to think of me as very weak!”“I never thought my opponent was weak! I just want to test how much power I already have, will you be able to withstand it or not!” Gladio raised his right hand as a testament to the strength that existed.Severith smirked. “Alright, I really would love to see how great you are at thinking, and here I want to see how great you really are!”The attack starts from Severith who releases a darkness orb towards Gladio, sis is spurred on by Gladio who then continues to slash every attack th
“No way, why is this strong me still able to be exposed to this kind of pressure? How could someone like him have such terrifying power?” Severith's pupils continued to quiver to see the smirk that Gladio used."You don't have to worry, here I am a weak creature who will not be able to defeat you!"This sounded like an insult, Severith's body couldn't stop shaking."I must not be afraid, here I am one of the Demon God's subordinates, facing someone like him is not a big problem, I will definitely be able to do it!"Severith quickly gave orders to the undead to attack, one by one the undead came towards him.Gladio made a casual attack, this time shaking off the blue flames that beheaded every undead body near him. It's like a dance that is so beautiful, the power of her is so formidable.Gladio's eyes saw that Severith was about to run away from there.“Am I going to let you escape? No, I'm not here to let go of a prey that's been cornered!”Severith glared furiously, he'd only taken
They are waiting for Zachary's decision on this matter.“I will do this inspection later, now we have to secure the location! There will be a lot of things that will happen if that area is not inspected immediately!”“That's right, according to the records I gathered, the area that was discovered was indeed a hotbed for the undead, if left unchecked it could be a bad thing! It would be best if this was all dealt with immediately!” Pardom replied.“Higura, can you check this?”“Leave it to me! I will do that right away!” said Higura in a tone full of high confidence.After the meeting, Lexy rushed into her room. “Why would the Guild Master want to directly check the location? What crystal is that exactly?”***Gladio had just returned from a quest, he was carrying a large bag."Welcome back! How?"Gladio put the pouch on the table. "I've done the desired quest!"That maid chuckled after seeing the blood from the bag darkening the color. “F-Fine, this is your payment!”"Don't you want t
The two of them stared deeply, they were both in a very gripping silence.“Before that, I wonder what your name is?”"My name is Gladio!""Gladio! Alright, introduce my name is Lexy! I'm glad to be acquainted with an adventurer with great potential like you! Aside from the matter we talked about earlier, I've heard some great things from the Guild's side! You were able to defeat an attack by monsters in a village, and you also defeated a dragon!”“It is nothing more than a meaningless string of words! Ordinary adventurers would definitely be able to do this, you don't need to overdo it!”“All the real greats would never tell anyone that they were extraordinary! Now that the conditions are getting more and more uncertain, I'm afraid that your crystal discovery will invite another disaster!""Has an inspection been done?"“Yes, my comrade named Higura along with the Guild members have already made observations, now just waiting to hear from them I hope there won't be any trouble! Here e
"Are there only two?""Of course not, there's one more and this is what made me want to invite you, I wanted to see if you did inadvertently trap the entire Guild in danger!"The atmosphere became quiet.Gladio slowly sighed. “I don't understand what you're talking about, but if you really want to ask for my help there must be a price paid for this!”Lexie nodded. "Of course, I'll give you the money you deserve!"“What if I don't want money? You know that I've completed a lot of high-risk quests, if you want to sue, maybe the payment will have to be a lot!”"So what do you want?" asked Lexy who gave off a murderous look."That is true!" Gladio held his chin. "I want something that makes me a lot more satisfied with this and doesn't hurt me!"“So you want to get a reward that has a commensurate advantage!”“Yeah, how about you have your whole body? In other words you must become my slave!”"No way, don't be presumptuous of you talking like that!" replied Lexy in a high tone.“I thought
“Do you feel that life is boring?”A question that is quite confusing, in the middle of the night that was so quiet the two of them looked at each other at the fire together."What do you mean?"“I just want to know how you view life? I see that everyone has their own view on life, if I may, I want to know how you view everything that has happened!”“That's right, I actually never had a problem with that! When I was born, I once asked myself about the purpose of this life! I don't know why I was born in this world, but as I get older, I come to understand that life has hidden meanings! Maybe I won't know what that means, but I still have a strong desire to keep going and keep looking to the future! I am afraid that in this life I will be nothing!”“I see that you have quite a calm mind, don't you want to become a famous adventurer?”"What's popularity for? I'm doing this because I like it, it's useless if a lot of what I do just wants to please others, the first to be happy is myself!
"What is this water?" asked Lexy with a surprised face."That drink is a stamina booster, I think taking it would be advantageous!""Oh, I see! To think that a person with fighting skills like you would be able to think of such a thing!”"Don't joke, I'm just doing what I can, after all that drink will be very rare for me to use!"Lexy understands why Gladio is able to complete quests with a high level of difficulty, Gladio's firm and calm attitude is a sign that he is able to think wisely.Then they resumed their journey, and the second night had come again to hinder them.Maybe today they didn't get much attack from the monsters, but what happened still gave the body a horrifying feeling."I think I can trust this man, there's nothing wrong with letting go of this tense feeling!""What is it?"“N-Nothing...” Lexy's cheeks turned red after continuing to stare at Gladio silently.Gladio was silent with sharp eyes looking at Lexy, he didn't want Lexy to think of a bad plan that might h
