The sunlight shines on those who seem to be supporting what they are feeling.

"Look at that!" Joey pointed at one of the bodies that suddenly lay weak, they rushed to that body.

After be laid down, blood can be seen gushing from the wounds carved into that man's body.

"What happened to this man?" asked Tania.

Of course that question is also the same in the minds of others.

“There is only one possibility, this man is the victim from Kegure we are looking for!” Joey gave a word that he deliberately made horror to scare his comrades.

Here only Lilia is afraid of that opinion, for Azazel and Tania don't think that story is a horror thing at all.

Azazel never knew the creatures they were going to fight, but he could assume the creatures they were about to face had quite troublesome abilities, no need to ask, it was clear the monster named Kegure had a dangerous ability.

“What are we going to do with this body? Shall we just leave him?”

“Surely we have to make a proper funeral for this person, we may not know who he is, but his soul will surely be delighted if we do!” Lilia gave a sincere explanation, indeed she is a Mage who has high spiritual knowledge.

Azazel actually doesn't care what will happen, but here he can only follow the wishes of those three people.

“Huh… are you sure you want to make a funeral for this person?”

"If Lilia has insisted like that, we'd better do it!" said Joey in a slightly reluctant tone.

Azazel suddenly stepped forward, they didn't know what that man was going to do.

Click!

Suddenly the ground shook revealing a large hole, those who saw this became shocked.

“H-How can you do this?” Lilia asked.

"Huh? I have, a little bit of the ability to make a hole like this!” Azazel coldly replied.

Lilia became fascinated, she didn't know if this was true or not, but Azazel's words already symbolized a great power.

After that, they started to say prayers guided by Lilia.

“O souls of the dead, we hope you will rest in peace there! Let us who are here get guidance from you, we hope to be a better person!”

Tania and Joey put their hands together, while Azazel didn't do it at all. He just waited for those three people from a distance.

His serious face continued to emit an intimidating aura. "Really! Maybe if I were a normal being like them, I would have done the same! However, this me has already surpassed the limits of a normal creature!”

“Sorry for the long wait!” said Joey.

"Come on, we don't have much time left!"

They continued their journey, and not long after, they found a cave. There was clearly visible that was a nest of the monsters, the smell and texture of that cave caused a bad feeling.

"Is that monster inside here?" Tania doesn't want any mistakes in their journey.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look first!"

From the map Joey saw, they had to enter a large cave which identified it as the location of the Kegure's lair.

“There's no mistaking it, this is the location of the creature we're looking for!”

“If that's really the case, we must enter this cave soon!” Azazel gave his firm words and instantly caused those three people there to nod.

With great courage they entered it, the dark cave with high humidity really gave a sign that place had a real horror.

Lilia who was holding the staff became a savior to light up their journey.

Suddenly a strange sound came from the road in front of them, the darkness of the atmosphere added to the chills in the heart.

They would never have expected this was all auspicious, not long after that a strange creature with red eyes appeared and jumped at Lilia.

Lilia's eyes bulged, she was unable to blink. That monster's movements were too fast it would be very difficult for her to act.

Crash...

Lilia's mouth had dropped open, at that moment she was saved by Joey who took action.

“Phew… almost!”

One kegure was lying with a body that kept bleeding blue.

“I didn't expect this creature would attack under these condition!” said Tania in a tone that was horrified towards the corpse of the kegure.

They still had a long way to go, and there wasn't much time for them to keep thinking. Feet began to walk again through the cave.

The longer the atmosphere became more terrifying, their bodies shivered because of the cold air that gently touched the body's skin.

"Now what should we do?" asked Tania.

Here they find confused with forked roads, and no map to guide them where to go.

"Left or right?" Joey clutched his chin, this confusion kept him thinking hard, but this was indeed a very difficult thing to determine, the slightest mistake would put them in bad shape. “Azazel, which path do you think we should choose?”

Asking Azazel was the right choice for Joey, here Azazel chose to remain silent, he just wanted to see how those three people would act. But, after getting that question, of course he had to give an answer.

Azazel started to walk, he was in front of the two branches, to him they all looked the same. Nothing really makes it anything special.

"We might have to go to the left, when compared to the road, the road on the right is much dirtier and seems to indicate that location is often used by monsters, while the path on the left shows nothing as if it is rarely passed!"

These words made them a little conscious, but it was still questionable whether Azazel's words were the truth or not. The worst possibility here will still happen, they don't know which way will later give a truth. And, here everything that is done must be careful.

"How do you know about this?" Tania asked a question that represented all curiosity of her two comrades who also gave a glance towards Azazel.

“I used to do a quest like this a lot!” Azazel answered briefly, but had the meaning of a high belief that his words were not a lie.

"Okay! If what you say is indeed the truth, then there is no harm in following what has been said!”

    Tsurugi is still in the back, he monitors what will happen to the two partners who are in front."I don't like this place!"

"I hope that monster is not here!"Tsurugi's eyes only glanced to the side, he remembered if he used to feel this usual.Everything that happened at that time was only a memory and he no longer wanted to remember."Huh ... maybe I was thinking about it for too long!"Joey stopped, and suddenly everyone became surprised."Wait, what are you doing?"

    From this event what happened was a horror that Lilia could not imagine, what happened was a nightmare that she had never expected to happen.She was silent in front of the corpses of her two comrades who looked very pathetic."What happened exactly? Why did they both have to die? Are we wrong to want to be a great adventurer?”“You might think what I'm saying is ridiculous, but you must be honest with them both! Now that it's clear, you're a weak creature, there's no way you'll continue to act, the hopes and tears will just keep happening! If you keep dreaming in this life something pleasant will happen, then you are wrong! No one would want something like this to happen, you or I am just pawns who will play a fate full of cruelty!”“I don't know what else to do, after my two comrades die, of course I am a weak person and won't be able to move!

Then I'll give you two a reward! Hmm…” She suddenly gave a surprised look."Any something wrong?"“No, I mean, before you are going with four person, but....”Lilia's face grew even more gloomy."Oh... I'm sorry... I don't mean to make you sad...."“It's okay, the two of them have died due to the quest we doing! Maybe without this man, I would have died from that quest!”The atmosphere became quiet.“Give all the money from this quest to her!”"Eh... why?" Lilia asked.“You more need this!

That Goblin's eyes are like useless marbles.“Hooh… you so have disgusting body parts! How does it feel to be treated horribly like this? Haven't you done this many times? What difference does it make if you now feel everything that has happened to those who have received terrible treatment from you?”That Goblin didn't understand what Azazel was saying, the pain in his right

Earlier, there were young adventurers who undertook a quest to exterminate Goblins in their lair!""How many adventurers were recorded to have undertaken this quest?""There were five people!""As I saw earlier, they all died! First, I saw three men tortured by the Goblins, and two of their companions were taken into the Goblin cave and violated there! I don't know exactly why they died, but I saw purple-colored wounds on them! I can conclude that it's poison from the Goblins!""That's so cruel!""That's all I can tell you!""Thank you very much.

    The city location seen by Azazel is much better than before, and the people there seem happy."With a town large this, surely the one in charge is someone with high authority!"In the distance, a carriage passes by, soldiers guarding around it.Azazel stands on top of a building to get a view of the town."So, it's still ruled by a king here! Hmm..."He is curious about the person riding that cart, so he follows until he's in front of the palace gate."If I stay here, I won't be able to see who's inside!"Azazel uses a sneak skill that allows him to move quickly like a ninja, but this skill has its limitations. Everyone would be able to see him if he was not in a hiding place; only his presence wouldn't be detected by others.From behind the watchtower, Azazel stands and observes. Everyone is now focused on welcoming the figure inside the cart."Is the person in that cart so important that soldiers are present there?"What Azazel sees are people lined up neatly like a choir.The cart

    The journey began, and those with different backgrounds didn't exchange greetings, although it seemed like a normal thing to do."Look at those two from our group; they have intimidating faces! Do they also want a big reward from this quest?" asked a man who was the leader of his two friends."Yeah, it seems like they're after something. I'm sure they won't pass up this golden opportunity!""Don't be foolish, you two. They might have financial troubles in their lives, so they're willing to undertake this quest.""That's up to them, but if they become a burden, I'll kill them!"The three of them were prepared to do so.Azazel overheard their conversation but remained calm to avoid giving the impression that he was a strong person.Seeing foolish people like them was sometimes normal, and he wanted to see their abilities.The atmosphere changed as night fell, but the journey was not too dangerous. Today, they hadn't encountered any monsters that would attack.Everyone gathered around th

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!

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

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

    Azazel's Ferociousness in Fighting

    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
