Azazel continued to gaze at the book in front of him, finding it quite unique to be able to witness such a book.
"Can I take a closer look at this book?" he asked.
Louse remained silent, staring seriously at Azazel. It wouldn't be surprising if the outcome of this was a rejection.
Louse could guess Azazel's intentions; the content of the book he showed might have elements that could be used to do something wrong. Considering a consequence like that must be based on a strong reason.
"Why do you want to read this book?" She immediately asked, her eyebrows slightly raised, indicating her curiosity.
"This book doesn't seem ordinary. From its texture and content, it surely has its own meaning, especially the history of the book itself, which is quite interesting to explore!"
Louse furrowed her eyebrows, curious about how this man could say sentences like that. Sen
It would not be possible this time for her to escape from the intimidating Azazel's gaze, whose eyes were extremely intimidating; the longer it lasted, the air supported the determination that dried the throat."Yes, I wouldn't mind. This girl does look very scared if the secret about this book is revealed just like that!" Azazel thought as he continued his fingers on the surface of the book, gently caressing it."I got that book from my grandmother!"His gaze began to shift towards Louse, for some reason, the girl was willing to tell him about this. One thing was clear when his eyes met hers; there was seriousness and sincerity that seemed to support her statement that it was not a lie.From the cover to the contents of the book, there was nothing wrong; everything was indeed based on ancient knowledge. Even some spells that had existed in his previous life were written; it was as if the book connec
It looked like any other day in this town, with Azazel simply observing the activities of the residents.He rarely had time to witness the lives of others. Yes, it wasn't without reason. Azazel was born unlucky, and nearly killed multiple times by those who considered him a cursed child.However, even when such unfortunate events occurred, he never truly experienced death. Or, more accurately, he was compelled to return to the world in a different era.Here, things were a bit strange. The orders given to him brought judgment to the world, but it wasn't a task he desired. During his time in this world, Azazel had tried to find a solution, but following the instructions of that figure was exceptionally challenging.These actions seemed to be connected, especially with the strange information about the seven Kaiser, special energy crystals, and the abilities of someone who had yet to reveal themselves.<
Continuing this conversation felt so reluctant; the atmosphere surrounding it weighed heavily on their hearts."We can conclude that Miss Louse has indeed been kidnapped, based on the incident at her home. Nothing is missing, only its occupants are missing!"Many confusing theories swirled in Azazel's mind, especially thinking why someone would want to kidnap Louse."Hmm..." His brain could directly provide the most accurate answer to this reason.Every item collected by Louse contained mystical elements, especially the old book with many long stories believed to have reached Louse's hands.But, Azazel couldn't conclude it was the only reason for all these incidents; he needed clearer thinking to solve this problem.“Why this is so bother? Why does the Guild want to find that girl?” he asked, his eyes sharp.The Guildmaster's
Such explanations held no appeal for Azazel; the warmth of family seemed too thick for someone like him, who only lived alone without considering others."I beg you, save Louse! I promised her father to take care of his daughter!"The sincerity of this man, bowing his head to Azazel, made it easy for the weak to seek help.Azazel couldn't erase things like that; the weak would always seek protection, even if it meant sacrificing everything. That's why he despised a life like this, where the weak and the strong were always two elements in existence."Do you have a stronger reason? Why was this girl kidnapped? What makes her special?"The Guildmaster was confused. Shouldn't his earlier explanation have been convincing enough that Louse had the ability to analyze someone's body? However, it wasn't favorable for Azazel; such power had similarities to sensing."I
"It's so easy for you to apologize after what has happened!" exclaimed Azazel, truly enjoying the person's suffering.Slowly, the cracks that were initially small spread until they split the mask apart. The eyes of the person behind the mask glared amidst the slow atmosphere.Azazel narrowed his eyes; the person he thought was a man turned out to be a blonde-haired girl with bright blue eyes."A woman? So, all this time, she's the one who planned to trap me! No, with a power like this, she couldn't possibly do it..."Azazel's grip tightened, causing the woman's face to show signs of suffering."Answer me, who sent you here?" he demanded."I-I..."Her voice faltered; the pressure was so strong that she couldn't articulate her words clearly."Should I eliminate this woman?"He wanted to do it, but b
Following the instructions from the woman, Azazel now navigates through a forest believed to be heading south. However, he still doesn't know where this will lead, with no further clues about whether he will find a town or just buildings in the midst of a deserted environment.It's the same as that moment back then, searching for a fugitive that eventually forced him to enter a desolate forest, leading to a single house.Walking in an uncertain direction feels time-consuming; he's forced to stop and spend the night among the trees accompanied by strange sounds.In the distance, there is a lurking sense of danger, not just one but several. Azazel tries to ignore this; such an atmosphere usually occurs in this forest.They are the monsters that inhabit the forest, ready to launch an attack."Do I need to overdo it?"Now, all he needs is to meditate, trying to c
Ironically, this moment, Azazel remembers it like the time he visited the disaster crystal source area.The elves, who seemed so unfamiliar to him, had reappeared, and here they were so cautious of his presence.All of them fell silent to gaze at the figure of Azazel standing behind the elf."What, how is he could be there?"They believed Azazel's body lay in a pool of flowing blood, but Azazel appeared in better condition, without a single scratch.Confusion swept over them. Since when had Azazel been there?Slowly, Azazel's lifeless body lying there disappeared into tiny fragments.Until everything was perfectly clean.The elf in front of him raised both hands as a sign of surrender. He could have launched an attack to avoid Azazel's sword, but would that have succeeded?"Call your
"What does all this mean?" Azazel asked with a firm tone, clearly annoyed by the situation. From the beginning, there was no intention to do anything conspicuous.However, if it has come to this, then he must take extreme action.The elves still aimed their weapons, awaiting orders from their leader, who continued to gaze at Azazel.Azazel gave them a threatening look, making it clear that he would resist any attacks."I have thought about it; you must be captured for entering this forbidden forest!" he declared firmly."And if I let myself be captured? What will you do?"The man squinted his eyes; no answer was necessary. The common action in situations like this usually involved executing infiltrators.Elves were not a pure race; they might be better at understanding their environment than humans, but their arrogance often led them to consider other creatures as inferior.The lack of a response frustrated Azazel; he sighed deeply to come to terms with the situation."It seems that e
