However, Azazel maintained a calm expression; he wouldn't act foolishly in front of someone he had just met.
For the first step, he advanced with a seriousness reflected on his face.
They continued to exchange glances, their gazes making the air feel hotter.
Azazel felt this wasn't a result of power but rather something often referred to as charisma and authority.
Without hesitation, Azazel lowered his eyelids and said, "I came here to claim the promised quest reward!"
For a moment, he was surprised by this; it was the first time someone had spoken with such a tone. But it wasn't surprising; adventurers had their wild natures. Encounters like this were common.
"Yes, I will indeed give you the reward! But before that, I want you to
Henrien raised his body and shook his head with a face full of regret."I also don't know how this situation could have occurred. The crystal appeared suddenly as if it had been planned to be used against someone else! However, what I know is this has become fairly common knowledge! Knowledge acquired through several books containing forbidden magic! Once again, I couldn't know..."If it had come this far, Azazel indeed seemed to have to give up. He wouldn't find anything by bombarding Henrien with various questions."So, it's still a mystery that's difficult to solve even now!""Yes..."After that, no words adorned the room, and the atmosphere quickly turned awkward.Especially for two men in the same room, they certainly weren't people who liked to stare at each other.Azazel still seemed to be drowning in various questions, all based o
The blue sky grew denser as the sun disappeared, a sign that sent shivers down everyone's spine.The guards tried to secure the situation, advising all residents to seek shelter in the largest building in the town. It was the safest place for them, but for Azazel, it might not be enough to stop the chaos unfolding.Those who were fearful needed protection, and adventurers gathered neatly in front of the Guild.The night sky brought with it a sense of tranquility, and even their voices hesitated to disturb the silence.Henrien appeared, causing everyone to tense up. His presence was a clear sign that a battle involving every soul and body was imminent."I am quite pleased with all of you who have gathered here. You must already know the current situation!"One thing here puzzled Azazel. The information previously mentioned had been meant exclusively for those with high abilities, but it seemed to involve adventurers of various ranks as well.The reason didn't matter much, but Azazel wo
Crash!The abilities of this girl are truly fascinating, gracefully dancing amidst a sea of monsters. The two daggers in her hands seemed to have no time to rest, with each elegant movement capable of delivering a significant impact.Azazel squinted his eyes as he watched, realizing this remarkable skill couldn't be dismissed as a mere performance. He understood that such power was either acquired through extensive experience or, perhaps, a natural talent.Whatever the case, it made the spectacle even more captivating to witness."She's Asteris!" one of the amazed adventurers exclaimed, admiring the girl's display.However, Asteris alone couldn't be relied upon. Those monsters seemed to be multiplying, and not just in one location. Many of them met their end with agonizing cries.They needed additional help to deal with this situation.Ba
"Even in such dire conditions, he was still able to overcome it..." Rezail felt his spirit being squeezed by fear that was increasingly contaminated by the evil aura of this monster.In the midst of this tumultuous atmosphere, Asteris bravely stepped forward to deliver a swift slash.Swung...Plunging sharply to tear through with the dagger, the back of the monster's neck became the perfect target for her.However, the aura it possessed was strong enough to bring awareness to the monster.Ting...In just a few seconds, the monster turned its body to withstand the attack, and they clashed for a brief moment.Asteris didn't have the strength to engage in a power struggle, so her body was sent flying about 4 meters, not wanting to meet the same fate as Rovilio, her body began to perform acrobatic movements. Three backward flips to avoid a ba
His silhouettes dazzled everyone present, leaving them wondering who Azazel truly was.Appearing with a serious gaze accompanied by a horrifying aura, it was like an unexpected ally."But, at the very least, we can survive thanks to this man!" Rezail tried to stand upright with all the remaining spirit.Asteris found it difficult to control her breath, thinking it might be the end of her life.Crash...The loud sound caught their attention as they witnessed Azazel doing a gruesome act.His right hand was still thrust into the monster's body."Is the battle not over yet?" muttered one of the adventurers who witnessed.However, this action was not an intention to fight, as a few seconds later, it was withdrawn.Blood had undoubtedly covered his fingers, and there was a vague, strange object in
There was no more hope; they were certainly the ones who would be the next meal for these monsters.The faces of those monsters drew closer, giving sinister grins from their impatient thirst."What should we do?" the witch girl asked once more.Her companion couldn't offer any answers. How could she find words in a situation like this? Her legs were already trembling so badly that taking a step seemed impossible.The time had come; one of the monsters accelerated toward them.With pounding hearts, their minds detached from their bodies. The only thing echoing in their minds was death. They had to resign themselves to whatever was about to happen.Crash...Their eyes shut tight in fear, but the sound didn't come from their own bodies. Slowly, curiosity urged them to open their eyes.To their amazement, the enthusiastic
Rezail tried to understand those words, but it didn't provide him with the answers he was looking for."Huh... I thought we could only hope for the good, for his selves and for all the inhabitants here...""Yes, that's probably all we can do! Now we can only hope for a real change..."Another explosion occurred, making every heart there tremble, and they turned simultaneously. Thick black smoke emerged in the distance, and it didn't seem like a good sign.They couldn't be certain of the situation, being trapped here wasn't ideal, but in times like these, they had to be patient."What's happening over there?" one adventurer asked.No answer could be given, as they couldn't be at the scene of the incident.It could be said that Azazel had already reached the gathering point of the monsters, and he continued to charge forward.<
"Guild Master, is this really over?" Rezail asked, seeking an explanation.The barrier was still in place to guard against any potential attacks.A definite answer couldn't be provided yet, as Henrien had instructed some individuals to check the surroundings.And the desired news had not yet arrived."For now, we should remain alert; it's still not necessarily safe," Henrien replied.His gaze revealed a concern that Rezail couldn't deny.At this moment, Rezail realized his vulnerability as an adventurer. The title he had earned was still insufficient to prove his greatness."Is this the work of that man? He's capable of doing this alone, and we here are like helpless chicks, resigned to the situation," he said.From a distance, an unfamiliar figure attempted to approach. His aura was not that of a monste
