Now Azazel only needed to step forward and look at the board."So many papers are posted here. What kind of quest can I do?" Azazel's hand rested on his chin."Um..."Azazel turned after hearing a distracting sound. "Huh? What's wrong?"A girl with a bobbed haircut had appeared, looking very shy to initiate a conversation."What's going on with this girl? Is she in trouble?" Azazel looked around."Can you help me complete a quest?""A quest... do you have the courage to pay me for it?"She couldn't answer Azazel's words."If you don't have it, you'd better look for someone else!""Well, this quest does have a high reward, but I can't complete it on my own! If you're willing, could you help me? I don't mind if you're paid only 20% or even less.""But if you dare to do this, it means you're ready to lose...""Yeah, I don't have many options. If I try to do this alone, it definitely won't work!""Alright, I guess it's not too bad, but you should know that your life is not my responsibili
They both began to move away from the cave. The girl picked up one of the spider fangs as proof that the quest they had undertaken could be completed successfully."It seems we'll have to spend the night before heading back..."The day had passed quickly, and Azazel hadn't had a chance to relax his body.And now, the evening was approaching. It was impossible for them to return at this point.The night was cold, with a campfire burning brightly."I don't know what to say; thank you for what you've done for me today..." She lowered her head as she spoke."No, I did this for myself too! Compassion for you is perhaps what's driving me now.""Why did you do that?""I don't know either, but it's probably because of my compassion for you, who has always been oppressed, that I didn't think you should do this."She couldn't contain the strong emotions in her heart, causing Azazel to say this based solely on observation. He in truth, didn't care much about what would happen to that girl."And
Ceylin's cheeks were filled with awe at Azazel's cold yet knightly demeanor."Use this money for your own needs, and don't let others belittle you!"He then left. "Huh... this was the right thing to do; I don't need to feel guilty."Azazel only took the money to cover his accommodation expenses, which wasn't a bad idea. He could stay in an inexpensive inn."This way, Sir..." a woman showed Azazel to the room where he would rest."Thank you!"Azazel used the money to pay for the accommodation until the next day.The atmosphere became quiet when he entered his room, from the windows many people bustled about."I didn't expect to be here, but it's not bad to live this life!" Azazel sat down, looking at his hands. "At that time, that creature gave me a mission, but why did it choose me to do this? Was it sure that I could handle it?"Azazel rested his body for a full day, but he couldn't just sit still."It's time for me to start this journey!" He stepped out of the inn. "There's nothing
"So that's how it is! I never expected that those whom she regarded as potential allies could act so wickedly!""Heh... don't paint us as villains. What you're doing right now is just as vile as what we did!"Azazel dispatched the scoundrels brutally, and this would undoubtedly have a terrifying effect on anyone witnessing it!"What I'm doing doesn't mean I condone your villainous actions! Your behavior which caused that girl to suffer is already a mistake, and it's not fair for you to equate what I'm doing with your own actions!""Don't make excuses..." The man in black armor stepped forward, his emotions running too high, forcing him to attack Azazel."A weak person like you can't defeat me..."Azazel's eyes narrowed, and he moved at high speed, finally resulting in the man's body being gruesomely split apart."Huh..."His partner, of course, felt tense after what he had just witnessed; it made no sense to him."How could you defeat him?""Foolish individuals like yourselves will al
Azazel then went towards a shop, where he indeed wanted to sell the magic crystal he had obtained.A man with a thick mustache was cleaning some shiny objects.He glanced at Azazel seriously, examining him from head to toe."Can I help you?" he asked in a serious tone."I want to sell this item..." Azazel knew selling that crystal might have adverse consequences.The man's eyes widened as he examined the crystal Azazel had given him. "What, how did you find this thing?""It was just a coincidence that I found it during a quest I was on..."The man changed his surprised expression to a serious one. "Hmm... for the price of this thing, I'll offer you 100 silver coins...""Only a hundred?" Azazel raised an eyebrow. "Is this man trying to cheat me?""Yeah, if you sell it elsewhere, you'll probably get a low price. Only through me will you get a high price..."Azazel became very suspicious. "Huh... I think I don't need to do this. There was someone else, a collector, who wanted to buy this
Several people gave Azazel curious looks due to his unique appearance."It seems like I'm drawing a lot of attention..." Azazel remained calm to avoid causing any trouble.Not long after, he was intercepted by a group of individuals wearing robes."Sir, do you have a moment?" One of them asked with a serious expression."Yeah..." Azazel had no other choice; he could have used his power to vanish without a trace, but there was no need for that.They led Azazel to a special room, and the person in front of him was a woman with blue eyes."I can see that you're not from this area!""You already knew I wasn't from your kind..." Azazel replied reluctantly."Oh... right, I didn't expect you to say that!" She lowered her hood. "My name is Carvina."Her hair was white, and she had a sweet smile.Azazel didn't say anything, just the sharp gaze in his eyes seemed like it could kill someone."So, what do you want from me?""It's simple. What are you doing in our area? This is not a suitable plac
"So, huh!" From the story he had heard, Azazel could conclude that this was not something that could be done by ordinary people."May I know why you're looking for this object? What makes you interested in obtaining it?""There are several reasons. First, why does this crystal have the ability to manipulate someone? Second, I want to know what kind of person would use this crystal, and lastly, how this power will be used on the highest level.""From what you're saying, you seem quite curious about all of this!""Yeah, I do want to find out what's going on with this crystal!"Carvina sighed. "I'll tell you how this crystal came into existence. There was once an explosion from the sky, everything was destroyed because of it! There was radiation from strange flying objects that killed every living being, and there happened to be rocks that were initially normal but began absorbing the radiation, leading to the emergence of this crystal! But, I think this crystal actually appeared because
That figure used its power to attack Azazel. The attack consisted of sharp slashes from objects like crystals being released. A single strike could produce a deafening noise that disturbed one's hearing.Things...He also did something similar; their powers clashed with explosions that followed."Hooh... not bad, I admit you have high skills! But, will you persist with the attacks you're using?"Moving at high speed, that figure was irritated by Azazel's words.Turned to employ a deadly attack, but once again, Azazel managed to evade the oncoming strike.Of course, this was frustrating. He stared at Azazel very seriously."Now, what will this thing do?"That figure directed its palm and unleashed several crystal-like sharp attacks at lightning speed."That's interesting..." Azazel approached smoothly without getting hurt by those attacks. "You should know, I'm not someone you can defeat. Remember, I might be a very dangerous individual, but you seem not to understand..."Blue smoke fl
