"Hmm... if this information is indeed true, then it won't be long before this kingdom is attacked by those monsters!" exclaimed the royal bishop.They didn't need to state anything; it was already clear this issue would entail a large-scale and much more troublesome situation."Can't we rely on adventurers to handle this problem?" asked the royal minister."We could, but the number of monsters reported is large. Some adventurers even quickly ran away realizing this!" replied the leader of the kingdom's troops."Tch... completely useless..."This meant that without the help of adventurers, the palace had to do something about this issue. It could be announced with significant news to attract the attention of adventurers, but that would be quite risky.The required funds were enormous, and the palace was very reluctant to seek assistance from adventurers.There were sometimes clashes between nobles based on their differing perspectives.Moreover, adventurers disliked the way nobles trea
His words triggered a silence that later turned into confusion; many didn't believe it at first, but once the Guild master appeared, whatever information was revealed became a fact."Guildmaster, is that really true? Is there a monster going to attack this town?" An adventurer tried to confirm the truth.Nodding, the Guild master affirmed the information, leaving no room for doubt.Various expressions were exchanged among those people, but the main concern was the uncertainty surrounding the number of monsters preparing to attack."So, what are we going to do here?"A high-ranking adventurer chimed in—a tall woman with blue hair and a piercing gaze."Nadia, you're here too?""Yes, I just arrived!"Her slightly open appearance attracted people's attention. Not only that, she possessed a stunning face, capturing the hearts of many adventurers.However, to win her heart, one needed to be on a similar level. Many considered Nadia equivalent to a hero."Is that why there are so many royal
When everyone still considered today to be normal, the soldiers already foresaw the horror heading toward the location where they stood.In large numbers, the monsters moved in one direction, and they wouldn't stop until their goal was reached."So, this is the number of monsters that will attack the town..." Aster said proudly as he gazed at those monsters.Unlike the soldiers and the commander, they shivered at the sight of the large number of monsters.Their number only 270 people, was still frightened. However, seeing Aster calmly observe this situation stirred feelings of envy."Hero Aster, what should we do now?" asked the leader of royal troops.Aster turned with pride and said, "What else? We will slaughter them all. Don't let any of these monsters live!"He said this so casually that he couldn't read the expressions of the soldiers there. They weren't used to defeating terrifying monsters like these.Perhaps during the tragedy of the crystal's possession, there had been a sim
Since the battle began, Aster didn't care at all about the fate of the troops; from a distance, the clash could still continue.However, that changed when the monsters managed to break through the troop formations.In an instant, the atmosphere there would turn into hell."Darn it, these soldiers are useless! Can't they hold off these monsters a bit longer?"Crash...Not everything was about to end; within the town, there were adventurers who hadn't shown their true abilities yet.Quickly, the monsters brimming with confidence after breaching the fortress, suddenly faced attacks from the adventurers.It was evident that the adventurers' abilities far surpassed those of the soldiers; they did not remain silent to overcome those monsters."It seems commoners there still have a purpose in situations like this..." muttered Aster, struggling against the monster.Tings! Tings!Not only its speed, but its strength overwhelmed Aster. Almost every attack he used failed to have a significant ef
It didn't take long for the monster to launch its attack; this time, Nadia remained his target.Ting!Even though she doesn't have the combat power of a sword user, Nadia possessed high-level magical abilities, and the giant axe weapon in her hands could deal significant damage.Even with weight, her slender body could wield it. There was just one problem: wielding an axe of this size required facing an enemy with lightning-fast movements. She'd be dead before getting a chance to counterattack."Quick Timing..."With good timing, she managed to evade the dangerous attack from the monster."Not kidding, even though I've tried to resist, I still can't defeat him! No wonder that man was overwhelmed facing it..."As Nadia attempted to look for Aster, the man was no longer there. All that remained were the faces of monsters, surrounding her, preventing her from moving anywhere."Darn it, where did that man go? Did he intentionally trap me here?"While all the monsters focused on Nadia, Ast
This incident unknowingly attracted various kinds of attention, not without reason. What's happening now could trigger a large-scale war and destruction."Are you sure you've witnessed it yourself?" Rudolf asked."Yes, I have witnessed it myself! The energy near that area belongs to one of the seven Kaiser...""That means they will soon rise and start making moves! It's quite surprising, after their defeat facing a hero, now they return to repeat what happened in the past!"However, becoming a Kaiser was not an easy thing. At the very least, one had the power capable of destroying various regions and could remain eternal despite facing numerous enemies.One such case was the deed of a Kaiser named Matrix, whose nickname as the insect king had spread far and wide. Witnessing the power that once caused the continent to lose balance was a nightmare. Other Kaiser was even a little worried the creature might rise again.Perhaps one of them might fall."It doesn't matter..." Heiran was very
According to the man's request, Azazel began to unfold the paper and found its contents regarding recent events."Hmm... the hero is dead?"That was an extremely surprising part for someone like him."As you've read, indeed the hero has been defeated! The situation has now become really dire! The Victoran region has faced a disaster! Five days ago, there was an attack by insect-like monsters, their numbers were large and unpredictable! Every attack they made that couldn't be stopped resulted in numerous casualties, and the inhabitants have started evacuating...""If everyone has started evacuating, what is my task to go there?"Before answering what Azazel said, this man's eyes gazed at him sharply, as if harboring resentment.Then, a sigh of resignation escaped his lips."Actually, the palace authorities refused to evacuate from that place!""Huh? Have they lost their minds?""Yes, it might sound strange, but for them, leaving the palace would leave the kingdom's throne vacant and ea
Unexpectedly, while Azazel tried to gather information, it turned out there was a ferocious creature lurking.With extraordinary stealth skills, it launched an attack on him.The adventurer in front of Azazel was immediately struck by the monster's scythe.The monster resembled a mantis, had an unusual size, and even had a humanoid form. It could stand on two legs.The creature stared at the adventurer it had impaled and brutally bit into then devoured it."Doesn't it realize my presence? No, it's just like most ferocious creatures! The instinct to fight and devour is the most common thing!"After devouring the adventurer's body organs, the monster turned to Azazel with its face smeared with bloodstains."Graagh..."Blood splattered in all directions."Are you a snake?" Azazel asked, his eyelids constantly dropping.Swungs...Without hesitation, the monster launched an attack in an instant. The monster's sharp claws shattered the ground beneath Azazel's feet.If not for Azazel's high
Violet approached Nadena, delicately touching the woman's skin, and then traced the sensitive area with her fingers until she gasped slightly."What's happening to my body? I feel hot, she must have done something to me..."Nadena felt difficult to control her breath, her eyes widening as Violet's face drew near.The woman's lips continued to close in as if to touch her body, but in reality, she only stood beside Nadena's ear."Do you want to know what will happen to him?"Nadena's pupils dilated once again. She wanted to speak, to make Violet release her body, but it was futile. She wouldn't have the chance.With her body half naked like this, she couldn't hope that Violet would treat her well."I'll give you a choice, but if you don't obey me, I'll kill you! Do you want to save him?"There was no response, just a stare filled with hatred in response to all this.Her periodic breathing was a witness to her courage to challenge Violet's power."True, if you can't answer, this will get
This giant dome slowly began to shrink to the size of a baseball.Zemius and Mary approached the dome, still feeling the magical power emanating from Azazel's body, causing them to hesitate in taking the dome."What are we going to do with this object?" Mary asked."Nothing more. We have to hand this over to Queen Violet! Only she will be able to handle all of this..." replied Zemius.Suddenly, Zemius looked back, his eyes fixed on an unusual location."What are you doing?""Nothing, I just feel like there's an enemy lurking there..."Mary tried to confirm this by spreading sensor energy, but despite her efforts, she found nothing; just a silence in the cold night.It wasn't completely wrong; indeed, there was someone lurking around watching this activity. Utilizing speed and the ability to erase its presence, even Azazel often remained unaware of its presence.Hastily, this masked woman left the area, intending to relay this information to Rudolf.At a considerable distance, she coul
"If it's gotten this far, then there's no time for me to stop here!"Whoosh...With high speed, Azazel's sword accompanied his movement. Piercing the current target with terrifying wounds."Argh..."Blood gushed out endlessly, futile for John to stop it, all based on a void energy that would damage someone's soul.Crash...He pulled back the sword; slowly, the created wounds started to pour out blood endlessly."D-Damn, why can you do this? Weren't you supposed to be easy for us to defeat?""How could lowly creatures like you hope to defeat me? You should be more self-aware in your actions..."He instilled fear into John's body, his eyes seeing Azazel covered in a black cloak with a skull face."Explosion..."With an energy attack rushing towards Azazel, Mary released so much energy.A single touch would result in a massive explosion, Azazel tried to evade it by quickly moving in various directions.Until a distance of 12 meters became the end of this attack, he saw that Mary and Rega
Kaboom...Only a massive explosion rocked the location; one could only wonder what would have happened if they weren't inside the dimensional space created by Mary."So, the power used by that person is incredibly dangerous. Even within this dimensional space, it has caused such a significant impact..." John glanced towards Mary.Every damage inflicted on the dimensional space would transfer to the user, but it was only at a rate of 6 percent, which was very low. However, if the attack used exceeds the dimensional space's endurance, then this rule no longer applies.Regar, who had been saved, still couldn't believe he could breathe. He looked at his two comrades there with the same wide-eyed shock. They were all startled when they learned this terrible fact.Azazel had been watching the three from a distance, his face showing anger at the situation."We can't be here for long! The power used by this man is incredibly dangerous. Sooner or later, he will start launching high-level attac
One thing Jeluis didn't understand, his opponent at the moment wasn't an amateur. He was someone who had engaged in various dangerous battles, even repeatedly devastating regions with his full power.Compared to himself, who only used strength when in danger, Azazel was far more than just a knight in combat.After all, he was the angel of death.Confidently, Jeluis exerted his power to reunite his separated body.Crash...But, at that moment, there was an attack so fast, not just once, but..."No, don't tell me he'll launch consecutive attacks relentlessly. How can I restore my body if he doesn't give me a chance..."Azazel had used a similar pattern before. One way to overwhelm a regeneration user is to launch multiple attacks non-stop and without interruption.His three comrades shuddered at Azazel's ferocity. It wasn't just about speed, but the sword's swing was simply extraordinary.Speed is far beyond the limits of an average person's strength. A speed like that might not be beli
Jeluis still looked on calmly, as if harboring no fear towards the figure of Azazel who exuded an aura of terror."There he is, let's capture him..."And finally, their presence had drawn the attention of the soldiers.Azazel's eyes glanced at the people arriving to capture him, but before that could be done, they had to surround Azazel first."You all won't be able to defeat him here!"Jeluis' words were not heard by the people; they were still too confident that Azazel would be easy to capture.Without much thought, one by one they try to attack Azazel.Crash...And that's what happened next, in movements like light, Azazel slashed each person who tried to approach him.From one body slash down, he moved to another to deliver a fatal blow.It was this speed that caused the soldiers' bodies to be mutilated in a gruesome state."I told you all that you wouldn't be able to..."Swungs...That didn't apply to Jeluis either; with this dangerous speed, Azazel approached him, delivering a d
"How could he do this..."What Jeluis did was far from Nadena's expectations. Just as she almost launched an attack, Jeluis found an opportunity to narrow the distance and then strangle her.Nadena's body was lifted by Jeluis, her throat completely choked by his strong grip."Let me go...""If you want to be released, then I will do it..."With a rough thrust, Nadena's body was thrown towards the wall. Her back felt painful, reducing her mobility to take action."Darn it, if it's like this, I won't be able to defend myself...""You should stay calm and let me capture you..."Nadena was not willing to comply. Despite being exhausted and struggling, she still tried to stand, bravely leaning on her staff to show that she was not a weak girl."Do you still want to face me?"The answer was already confirmed through the magical wand, which seemed to be gathering significant energy, preparing to be released and bring destruction upon Jeluis.Jeluis could only sigh deeply; he couldn't comment
"Will he be okay? I'm sure he will, right?"Nadena's eyes quickly narrowed sharply; she sensed someone approaching the room. No, it wasn't Azazel's energy.Indeed, Azazel's energy would have felt more threatening, but that was precisely what made it easier to recognize.She tried to close her eyes to further identify. This area had specific sensors in place that would make it easier for her to know who was deliberately coming or just passing by.Of course, all this accuracy couldn't be one hundred percent; there had to be thoughtful consideration before assuming it was an enemy's action.But here, it was some people who approached and then stopped in front of the door. She felt three energies standing at the door."What are they going to do? Are they deliberately looking for trouble with me? I thought their actions had gone too far, but what else could I do? There must be a few things to be wary of here..."With thoughts like that, Nadena became sharper in her surroundings, especially
In the end, Nadena didn't find any explanation. Azazel chose to remain silent; during their journey, there was no conversation they could do.Nadena was also worried that Azazel might still consider herself a part of Heiran, which would only complicate matters further.The sturdy man's posture showed no signs of collapsing; his serious eyes remained fixed on the large forest."Can I ask you something..." Nadena couldn't contain these words any longer and deliberately stopped Azazel in his tracks.Azazel didn't turn, just glanced slightly backward, but it didn't give enough time for his steps to stop."What?""Do you trust the masked person from earlier?""No, I never trust anyone, including you..." he replied bluntly.Nadena shuddered at hearing this. Until now, she couldn't believe that Azazel still thought of her as a stranger."Is that so..." However, what was the point of trying to explain this to him? It was certain that her presence here would only be a nuisance."But, so far, t
