"S-Sir, if I may ask, what is it that you truly aim for in life?"Azazel was surprised to hear this question. He paused from reading the book in front of him.He closed that book. "Hmm... I don't know either. Here, I'm just curious about what's happening! Many things happen, and I don't understand them all! My purpose remains a mystery, but I've been given a task to do something for this life!"The coachman fell silent, and Azazel's figure became even more majestic after saying this. He didn't know why it seemed like the moon also approved of his words."Aren't you afraid of the frequent and unpredictable deaths that occur?""Yeah, that's the truth! But, for now, I still don't believe that death will end everything in this world! True death that could possibly end someone's life!" Azazel sounded dismissive of death, which was feared by many."Amazing, I'm still afraid of death! Being in this forest alone makes my heart race...""So it is, I don't blame you for being afraid of death! W
Azazel fell silent in front of the served food. "Uh....""Sir, did something go wrong?""Are you sure this is the kind of food some people order?""Yeah, this is the food some people order!""Hooh... okay, I was just surprised!"The maid saluted and then left."I didn't know that people who come here have such voracious appetites!" Azazel's eyes glanced around; indeed, there were many visitors who looked like hard workers, and some of them were rough-looking adventurers.Eating such food was enjoyable."Heh... truly, this reminds me of the past!"The memory of when he was still a rookie without any abilities. Looking back at it now, he wanted to laugh at himself.The dish contained a large portion of meat, enough for two people. However, Azazel didn't need assistance to finish the meal.***Several people sat together in the same room."How's it going? Are the preparations ready?""Of course, preparations are ready to start! We can do it tonight or tomorrow!""Hehehehe... we'll do it
Now Azazel only needed to step forward and look at the board."So many papers are posted here. What kind of quest can I do?" Azazel's hand rested on his chin."Um..."Azazel turned after hearing a distracting sound. "Huh? What's wrong?"A girl with a bobbed haircut had appeared, looking very shy to initiate a conversation."What's going on with this girl? Is she in trouble?" Azazel looked around."Can you help me complete a quest?""A quest... do you have the courage to pay me for it?"She couldn't answer Azazel's words."If you don't have it, you'd better look for someone else!""Well, this quest does have a high reward, but I can't complete it on my own! If you're willing, could you help me? I don't mind if you're paid only 20% or even less.""But if you dare to do this, it means you're ready to lose...""Yeah, I don't have many options. If I try to do this alone, it definitely won't work!""Alright, I guess it's not too bad, but you should know that your life is not my responsibili
They both began to move away from the cave. The girl picked up one of the spider fangs as proof that the quest they had undertaken could be completed successfully."It seems we'll have to spend the night before heading back..."The day had passed quickly, and Azazel hadn't had a chance to relax his body.And now, the evening was approaching. It was impossible for them to return at this point.The night was cold, with a campfire burning brightly."I don't know what to say; thank you for what you've done for me today..." She lowered her head as she spoke."No, I did this for myself too! Compassion for you is perhaps what's driving me now.""Why did you do that?""I don't know either, but it's probably because of my compassion for you, who has always been oppressed, that I didn't think you should do this."She couldn't contain the strong emotions in her heart, causing Azazel to say this based solely on observation. He in truth, didn't care much about what would happen to that girl."And
Ceylin's cheeks were filled with awe at Azazel's cold yet knightly demeanor."Use this money for your own needs, and don't let others belittle you!"He then left. "Huh... this was the right thing to do; I don't need to feel guilty."Azazel only took the money to cover his accommodation expenses, which wasn't a bad idea. He could stay in an inexpensive inn."This way, Sir..." a woman showed Azazel to the room where he would rest."Thank you!"Azazel used the money to pay for the accommodation until the next day.The atmosphere became quiet when he entered his room, from the windows many people bustled about."I didn't expect to be here, but it's not bad to live this life!" Azazel sat down, looking at his hands. "At that time, that creature gave me a mission, but why did it choose me to do this? Was it sure that I could handle it?"Azazel rested his body for a full day, but he couldn't just sit still."It's time for me to start this journey!" He stepped out of the inn. "There's nothing
"So that's how it is! I never expected that those whom she regarded as potential allies could act so wickedly!""Heh... don't paint us as villains. What you're doing right now is just as vile as what we did!"Azazel dispatched the scoundrels brutally, and this would undoubtedly have a terrifying effect on anyone witnessing it!"What I'm doing doesn't mean I condone your villainous actions! Your behavior which caused that girl to suffer is already a mistake, and it's not fair for you to equate what I'm doing with your own actions!""Don't make excuses..." The man in black armor stepped forward, his emotions running too high, forcing him to attack Azazel."A weak person like you can't defeat me..."Azazel's eyes narrowed, and he moved at high speed, finally resulting in the man's body being gruesomely split apart."Huh..."His partner, of course, felt tense after what he had just witnessed; it made no sense to him."How could you defeat him?""Foolish individuals like yourselves will al
Azazel then went towards a shop, where he indeed wanted to sell the magic crystal he had obtained.A man with a thick mustache was cleaning some shiny objects.He glanced at Azazel seriously, examining him from head to toe."Can I help you?" he asked in a serious tone."I want to sell this item..." Azazel knew selling that crystal might have adverse consequences.The man's eyes widened as he examined the crystal Azazel had given him. "What, how did you find this thing?""It was just a coincidence that I found it during a quest I was on..."The man changed his surprised expression to a serious one. "Hmm... for the price of this thing, I'll offer you 100 silver coins...""Only a hundred?" Azazel raised an eyebrow. "Is this man trying to cheat me?""Yeah, if you sell it elsewhere, you'll probably get a low price. Only through me will you get a high price..."Azazel became very suspicious. "Huh... I think I don't need to do this. There was someone else, a collector, who wanted to buy this
Several people gave Azazel curious looks due to his unique appearance."It seems like I'm drawing a lot of attention..." Azazel remained calm to avoid causing any trouble.Not long after, he was intercepted by a group of individuals wearing robes."Sir, do you have a moment?" One of them asked with a serious expression."Yeah..." Azazel had no other choice; he could have used his power to vanish without a trace, but there was no need for that.They led Azazel to a special room, and the person in front of him was a woman with blue eyes."I can see that you're not from this area!""You already knew I wasn't from your kind..." Azazel replied reluctantly."Oh... right, I didn't expect you to say that!" She lowered her hood. "My name is Carvina."Her hair was white, and she had a sweet smile.Azazel didn't say anything, just the sharp gaze in his eyes seemed like it could kill someone."So, what do you want from me?""It's simple. What are you doing in our area? This is not a suitable plac
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
