Federic and Azazel had already arrived at the location. From a distance, they could see that the building had lights on. In front of the door, there was someone keeping watch."Now what?" Federic asked.Azazel's eyes narrowed, and he unleashed an attack using his energy flow.Crash...In a short moment, the attack successfully pierced the guard's neck."H-How did he do that?"Kamo who was enjoying sake, chuckled at the strange sound coming from behind the door."Where are you going?" a man asked."I want to check the situation outside!"Kamo then opened the door, and it was eerily quiet outside, with only a man standing guard in front of the door as usual."Hey, did you hear something?"The figure in front of Kamo shivered upon hearing the question."N-No..." Federic was irritated by having to play this role, but it was essential for the success of their infiltration mission. He especially found Azazel's demanding attitude annoying. "What is he planning?"Azazel was now inside the roo
"Being weak has always been something normal for me. I've never considered myself the strongest, and I'm sick of meeting people with such a high level of selfishness as yourself, who always believe that life gives them the power to oppress the weak! I didn't expect you to act like this. Simply put, I thought this journey would not bring terror or boredom! But I was wrong; you are a fool who dares to commit such a heinous act!"Kamo remained tense as Azazel recounted what had happened, desperately searching for a way out of the situation.However, escaping seemed impossible; it was clear that Azazel was someone who couldn't be avoided."How can I escape? Do I still have a chance to live? No, I'm a contract killer, and my head comes with a hefty price!" Kamo pulled out the dagger from his waist and quickly lunged at Azazel."Really, do you think this can stop me?" Azazel smoothly deflected Kamo's knife and then delivered a fatal blow to him.Kamo's face was bloody as his body was thrown
The next day, they all began to part ways."I don't know what to say, but if it weren't for what you did, we might all be dead by now."Azazel looked at them in front of him. Jina still appeared traumatized, while Huzo and Federic felt ashamed of their mistakes."Yeah, you should remember this is not the end! There will still be far more dangerous journeys that will constantly test your weak souls!""All right, we are truly grateful to you!"They bowed.Then, everyone went their separate ways.Azazel approached the cart, and Koiga's face still irritated him."So, what are you going to do now? Do you still need me to complete this task?"Koiga was nervous and struggled to answer Azazel, last night's events had left a negative impact."Of course..." He attempted to hide her fear. "I've already suffered too much, and you're supposed to protect me!""Are you the kind of person who abandons yourself like the others?""No, you must not do that! Alright, I'll pay according to the risk involv
The snake targeted Azazel, attacking him vertically. Its bite almost hit Azazel's body."The sensation of facing a monster like this will always give me a sense of excitement, but I know that you are a tough monster. Maybe you can give me a sting so I won't get bored facing you!"The hissing snake continued with a head charge, and that attack shattered the ground, sending dust flying."I understand now that you're a formidable opponent, but you must know that I am not someone who will be easily defeated! I won't give up facing you!"Azazel moved swiftly and found himself behind the snake. A sliding kick caused the snake's neck to slump.Azazel wanted to see how the snake would retaliate for what he had done.The snake's head rose high, slowly turning towards Azazel, its eyes radiating anger."Grahh... how dare you do this to me..."Azazel was surprised by the voice used by the snake. "What is this? Is this monster a shape-shifter?"A bright light emanated from the snake's body, slowly
The day ended with the death of many monsters."It seems my abilities are still far from enough! Perhaps if the opponent is even more formidable, I will be able to defeat them more seriously than this!"The coachman felt nervous being in front of the fire together with Azazel while Koiga was now asleep.The sound of snoring was so clear."I wonder why he can still feel at ease at a time like this! There are still some monsters that will launch attacks, and he seems to think that what's happening isn't important! Does he really consider this issue to be so simple to resolve?"Azazel then said, "I see that you are a coachman ordered to accompany that man! Do you feel comfortable being treated like this?"He remained silent for a moment, remembering all the events that had unfolded in his mind. "I didn't really want to do this job, but I had no other choice! I have to do it to pay off my parents' debt!""You seem to be troubled by this, but is your life worth it?"He was taken aback by t
After the toxic smoke cleared, Azazel approached the coachman.He didn't seem afraid to breathe in the tainted air."S-Sir, what must we do now?" the coachman asked."We will continue this journey. We need to get out of here as soon as possible!"He agreed with those words.They resumed their journey."No one can survive passing through this area; only those with high abilities will be able to avoid the deaths that await in this place! I'm impressed that old man is willing to take the risk of traveling this route."Once again, nightfall halted their progress, and on this quiet night, the air remained cold."I've encountered monsters several times, and they have different forms! How many monsters actually live in this area?" Azazel didn't use his sensory abilities, but the aura of hostility still lingered in that area.Koiga never wanted to look at Azazel's face; whenever Azazel gave him a deadly look, he would turn away.After finishing their meal, he went to sleep inside the cart."H
"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
