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
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
