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However, this action was not an intention to fight, as a few seconds later, it was withdrawn.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
Azazel couldn't believe at that moment he found himself in; he had become the center of everyone's attention. Their faces seemed to welcome him as a hero, but, on the other hand, they didn't care if Azazel would get angry.And, indeed getting upset over something so trivial was unethical. He let out a long sigh, a sign of resignation that continued to disturb his thoughts."Is this really necessary?" he asked when everyone was already enjoying themselves.Henrien's gaze was much brighter, and this time, he even gave a generous smile."Don't say that. You're a hero of this town! It's only right that we show our gratitude for what you've done..."For some people, something like this might be a great achievement, but not for Azazel. Cheers and praises had come his way many times, and he was now tired of hearing such things."Come with me."H
Hearing a solution like this didn't ignite any enthusiasm in Henrien's heart; instead, it made his lips curve with difficulty."Heroes, impossible they would be willing to save us from such a minor threat!"Indeed, there are many reasons that should serve as the basis for sacrificing everything. Every problem that arises will trigger its own actions, and a class like a hero doesn't need to deal with minor issues."There's one thing I don't understand. If this power is so terrifying, why is the scale of its impact so widespread?""As for that, I don't know! According to records, this incident has occurred in various regions, and it has been reported since long times..."Azazel's conclusion was clear that the history of this incident is widespread; he wouldn't be surprised if others in different places were talking about it."But if this calamity was created by
As Henrien had mentioned, Azazel headed towards the western region. It turned out to be quite a journey. He had visited several towns and even undertaken quests to gather information.However, the information he received only related to the aftermath of the previous incidents, and it was said that many regions were not fortunate. Those areas that had been attacked had turned into ghost towns, with the surviving residents preferring to flee rather than face such a calamity again.As a participant, Azazel couldn't do much. He wasn't a superior figure who could rally everyone to face such problems with enthusiasm. He had done it before, but in the end, many had died. Strangely, he was the only one who had survived until now, and all those experiences had turned into bitter memories he didn't even want to recall.There wasn't much to tell; Azazel's daily life was akin to an adventurer who traveled to various regions just to
It appeared longer than expected, taking over three days to reach the destination.And only now could he witness the mystical aura of the forest before his eyes. The distance was still quite far; perhaps it would take a day if he walked leisurely. Plus, the day had already transitioned into twilight."It seems I'll have to spend the night here..."A cool breeze rustled the trees, welcoming him with warmth.Without hesitation, Azazel would choose to stay there for the night.In the silence of the night, Azazel couldn't let his guard down. Many mysterious energies were watching him; this had happened often. Predators lurked in the darkness of the night, waiting for a moment of weakness to strike.This was normal for him; he had experienced sensations like this many times. But that night, a strange sensation suddenly emerged, not originating from the vicinity.
"I didn't expect that you had come this far; now I must take this more seriously!"As per that statement, Azazel tightened his muscles to unleash a tremendous force that pushed the undead's body away.Not accepting Azazel's actions, the undead tried to launch another attack. It slid forward at high speed, raising its sword to deliver death upon Azazel.Swings...Clashes...Power clashed against power.Azazel had predicted this figure would launch such an attack, so he just needed to follow the intentions of the figure.They had passed each other in a perilous tumult."Your turn..."Finally, Azazel's sword strike had cleanly cut through the undead's body, splitting it in two, and the energy that affected its bones was no longer present.For now, he might have won, but the main problem was still in front of him.The priest's undead figure was still there, observing the battle silently."Do spirits like you already know how to think?"Although it seemed like a silly question, he wanted t
