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
"Hehehe... you really like to joke, are you sure what you just said is indeed true?"Azazel gazed at the girl's face, still giving a mischievous smile accompanied by a sharp look."Hah... alright..." Nadia surrendered, realizing there would be no victory for her in a staring contest with Azazel.She was very certain that Azazel was not an ordinary adventurer, leaning more towards a mighty knight who could create a path just by walking."Well then, I want to ask you something!""What?""What is your purpose for coming here and heading to the Victoran kingdom?"Azazel's eyes narrowed momentarily; he began diverting his attention toward a tree not far away."It seems I was right...""If that is indeed my goal, then what will you do?" Azazel countered, still not trusting Nadia.It was strange to encounter a woman in a situation like this, and the power she displayed hinted at a high level of power.It could be assumed the person before him was either an enemy or an ally of the earlier mon
Nadia was instantly out of breath, never expecting to witness such a terrifying figure emerging from Azazel's body."It seems like she's realized something about me. Well, even if she wants to run after my explanation earlier, I won't mind...""I- Incredible...""Hah..."It wasn't a face of fear or tension; instead, Nadia's eyes were filled with sparkling stars, making her look a bit strange."What's going on with this woman? Am I not as frightening as many people think?"At that moment, something invisible seemed to grip Nadia's body, a burning sensation that made her cheeks turn red."Incredible. This is the first time I've witnessed a man with such fortitude. He doesn't have the typical characteristics found in most creatures! Always maintaining a cold demeanor—truly remarkable..."The more Azazel observed Nadia, the more amazed she became at him. It wasn't a threatening gaze but the unusual intensity in her eyes.Afterward, Nadia didn't offer many comments; she just fell silent wh
The creature that had attacked their protective barrier had jumped away, maintaining distance from them.Azazel glanced towards Nadia. In truth, he felt the attack earlier was unnecessary. Even though a bit dangerous, it wouldn't have any real impact. The only outcome was a minor scratch that managed to crack Nadia's barrier protection."This...," Nadia's eyes widened as she saw who was standing before her now.The form appeared vastly different from their last encounter, but its energy was still clear, especially the weapon wielded by the monster.Horned, with sharp spikes protruding from its mouth, and covered in tough skin, it was indeed the same monster Nadia had faced when trying to stop the invasion of insect-like creatures."I didn't expect it to evolve this far! Just to withstand its attack, I nearly couldn't manage it!"At the very least, she required a significant amount of energy to create high-level protection. However, she now realized the barrier's strength would still e
