"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
After that, Azazel found a town where he hoped he could sell that crystal."But, I think selling this crystal might not be such a good idea. I should probably gather information about what's happening in this location..."Azazel came across an adventurer's guild and became interested in entering it. Once inside, he saw several people celebrating and toasting. Some were also customers ordering food."Seems normal..." Azazel unintentionally recalled his past, and it was ironic for him.A woman welcomed him at the front desk."Welcome, how can I assist you?""Yeah, are there any free quests?""Free quests?" She clearly didn't understand the term Azazel had used from his previous life."How can I explain? I'm not a registered adventurer. Can I take on quests here?"She looked at Azazel seriously, as if he radiated an aura of death that could harm those around him."Oh... well, I can tell you! you can undertake some quests, but it's not guaranteed! If you want to do this, you'll need to ge
This attack was easily avoided by Azazel, the movements were too slow for him to predict, and then Azazel launched a deadly punch that landed painfully in that man's stomach."Argh...."He couldn't say anything, his legs slowly retreated with a fierce expression on his face."D-Damn...."And, after saying that, he received a deadly kick from Azazel."I don't blame you for being foolish, but at least you could think clearly when choosing an opponent who clearly has much greater abilities...."Now, a man still standing to face Azazel.What he saw now had caused his body to tremble violently."What are you going to do?""What am I going to do? That's a foolish question! I thought you all would immediately tell me where the man I'm looking for is, but in reality, you're nothing more than useless worms!"His legs couldn't stop trembling violently."Why are your legs shaking? Are you really that frightened by seeing me like this?""D-Damn... what do you really want from the person you're lo
Azazel was still confused, three days had passed as he walked towards the intended destination."Huh... have I been tricked?" Azazel's eyes darted left and right, with nothing but a dense forest of trees surrounding him. "No wonder this fugitive could never be caught; he probably has the ability to hide well."An odd building appeared in the distance, barely visible due to the towering trees."Hmm... what is that?" Not wanting to waste more time, Azazel hastened towards the building.Walking alone in this secluded forest was dangerous, and now there was a tiger in front of Azazel, ready to pounce on him."Huh... it seems I have to deal with this creature!"The enraged growl of the monster filled the air, and then it lunged at Azazel."Barrier... Kuchiku-kan!"Crash...The monster's heart was instantly crushed, and its blood gushed from its mouth."Hmm... I didn't expect this monster to be so large, but its abilities... or maybe I overdid it and destroyed it?"Azazel continued walking
