Azazel entered the city area which was quite crowded, and this was not like the previous city which had too many criminals. Here everyone lives peacefully, it can be seen from their faces filled with happiness.
He was standing in front of a building that was identified as the building of the adventurer's guild.
Entering it, there were already many people gathered, the bustling atmosphere was quite natural.
"Welcome!" The guild maid had paid her respects. "Is there anything I can help with?"
“Yes, I want to register as an adventurer!”
“Oh, adventurer! Alright, I'll give you some forms you have to fill out!”
Two forms later arrived, Azazel was silent for a moment in front of those forms. Remembering a time when he was still a clueless amateur, he was even confused about how to write his own name.
“You just need to fill in all the information on this paper!”
"I understand!" Azazel looked for a seat to fill out the form. “apparently here the language is also different, and how do I fill in this form? Did I use the letters of language I used before?” To determine this took a few minutes, he was actually capable of using magic that could allow him to fill all the lists. “Wait, I still have that skill! Maybe by using it, I will be able to read the contents of this paper!”
A magic circle had appeared from the palm of his right hand, and indeed he was starting to understand the contents of that paper.
“Hooh… not bad, having language skills is really useful!”
The maid became startled by the sound of Azazel's hand hitting the table.
“I already filled it!”
“O-Okay…” Maid smiled sweetly, but deep inside she was horrified by Azazel's scary-looking actions. “Okay, I checked it! Here is your badge!”
The bronze badge was already in Azazel's hands. “Then I want to take the quest soon!”
"You can do this by staring at the board over there, then come back here when you feel there is a quest that suits you!"
Azazel started to stare at the big board that had a lot of paper stuck to it, he didn't really know which one to choose.
“Which quest should I choose? At least I want to get a high paying quest that can help me get new equipment!”
"Excuse me!"
Azazel turned his body after hearing someone's voice, and there he saw three young adventurers who were giving him gaze.
"What's wrong?"
“Are you a bronze rank adventurer?”
"Bronze?" Azazel saw that his badge indeed was only bronze, and was not pleasing to the eye, but this was a fact he had to accept. "Yeah, if I'm really a bronze rank adventurer, so what's up?"
"We're here to invite you to join us in eradicating the monsters that are likely to attack directly on the village border!"
“Sounds interesting!” Azazel held his chin. "I don't think there's any need for me to think of this as a bad thing, these guys have pretty decent abilities if they dare to challenge monsters!"
The three of them stared at Azazel silently who had been giving them a serious gaze.
"Alright, I'll take what you guys have to offer!"
"Good!" A young man let out a tone filled with happiness.
After that conversation, they quickly went on a quest. Azazel was a little uncomfortable when he had to be with people like them.
“Huh… I guess it's a part of destiny wanting me to see something!”
On a quiet night, they share warmth in front of a blazing fire. The cold night became an atmosphere to accompany them.
"That's right, we haven't greeted yet! My name is Joey, this is Tania and Lilia!”
Azazel was silent, he was watching those three people. One man with the role of a warrior, another woman with a character brave enough to be reflected on her face, she is a fighter who has the ability to fight directly using hand abilities.
And, the last one is a mage who has the ability to use magic.
From what Azazel saw, it could be inferred they were the type to protect each other.
"My name is Azazel!"
The three of them became shocked when they heard that name, their eyes glaring at each other.
"What wrong?" asked Azazel.
“No, we were actually quite surprised to hear that name, the name represents death for every living being in this world! A lot of people think that Azazel is an angel who usually takes the life of a living creature right away!” Joey explained in a low voice.
“I see, in this world it even has something like this too!”
“Neh, I see you are a person who just came to town, where exactly are you from?” Lilia asked.
"I don't know where I'm from, I'm just here to do the task he's been given!" replied Azazel firmly.
Everyone who heard this felt Azazel's burning emotions, they didn't dare to ask more questions, this would definitely make Azazel very uncomfortable.
“Okay, now let's strategize, we might be able to arrive at the location the next day! We will enter a cave inhabited by a monster named Kugera, there they have quite a large number! They are not very good at fighting, but their large numbers make them a catastrophe that must be exterminated!”
“Joey and I have melee attacks, while Lilia has ranged attacks! We've always relied on Lilia here to provide assistance, if it weren't for that girl we'd probably be dead!”
“I-It's nothing, I was just doing my job as a support!” Lilia blushed at what Tania said.
“I have magical abilities and melee combat abilities, it all depends on the condition!” Azazel instantly cut the moments of those three people.
“Oh, then you will be the one to rely on in this mission! Azazel, I would be grateful if you could help us complete this quest!” Joey gave a smile of confidence.
And, Azazel is the most reluctant to be trusted, he has seen how sentient beings think cunningly in dealing with all problems.
"Yeah, I hope we'll all stay alive!"
It's terrible when those words come out of Azazel's mouth.
That night it was getting late, they were looking forward to what tomorrow's challenges would come in the way they had to go through.
__To Be Continued__
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 pers
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!" Tania murmured.Seen from wherever that area does look scary, no one will want to assume this is a location that has a calm in it.Lilia continued to shiver while holding a stick. "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?" Tania asked in a surprised tone."Shhh ... there's something ahead there!""Monster?""No, can be sure what is in front of there was something! However, the aura is very strange! "Not long after a figure of the monster in question had come out, sharp teeth with a crawling body."This is called Kegure?" asked Lilia.Tsurugi's eyes narrowed, th
This might be a stupid act, but the desire in the body is sometimes the main reason for them to dare to enter an area that will obviously have monsters in it."Look at these holes, can they really live inside?" Joey asked curiously."Maybe they live like ants in the ground, they build nests then give birth inside!"“That makes sense, but how are we going to fight them?”Everyone fell silent hearing Lilia's question, and everyone looked at each other with confused faces.Tsurugi who is here remains calm while glancing around, he understands this area is really dangerous, and can guess what will happen if they become careless.Strange sounds were heard from inside the holes, not one, but enough of them to be very loud in the ears."Come!" said Tsurugi.And, it's true that monsters have arrived, Kegure in great numbers. They became horrified by the super large number of monsters, no one expected the monsters they would encounter to have a large number.“T-There are so many monsters here,
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! I'm just a geeky girl who won't be able to become a formidable figure!”"Never judge yourself! You don't have to be strong when they're aroun
They two returned to the Guild, the maid there was surprised by Lilia's still gloomy face.“Welcome back, did you guys succeed in completing the quest?”No one answered.Azazel's gaze was directed at Lilia. “She is still thinking about what happened!” For Azazel, this is where he must be saying, “Yeah, we've got it done!”“Oh, if like that! 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! I just wanted to watch how you guys went on the quest together, and it really taught me a valuable lesson for myself!”"But, I don't deserve that reward, I'm sti
The Goblin became helpless after looked how Azazel was in resisting the attacks he used.Azazel slowly stepped, then he gave horror to that creature."Indeed I don't have a grudge against you, but I'm here to see how a disgusting monster like you will die a terrible death!"First, Azazel used his finger to poke out the Goblin's eye, during the process, there was a lot of resistance from that Goblin.“Argh....”The sound of flesh about to be plucked out was so clearly heard, he screamed loudly which bore witness to the pain.During the 20 seconds of the process, there was already a lot of blood on Azazel's hands. 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
She hurriedly tried to prove what Azazel had said."Oh, that's true! 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. Oh, by the way, can I know where their bodies are?""Their bodies are in the forest! There, they are still protected by the magic I provided."Slowly, her pupils widened. "Have you done that?""I only used a scroll containing magic!""Uh...""Is that wrong?""No, if someone uses a scroll to protect others, it's very rare! Magic Scrolls are rarely possessed by ordinary people
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
