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
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
Violet approached Nadena, delicately touching the woman's skin, and then traced the sensitive area with her fingers until she gasped slightly."What's happening to my body? I feel hot, she must have done something to me..."Nadena felt difficult to control her breath, her eyes widening as Violet's face drew near.The woman's lips continued to close in as if to touch her body, but in reality, she only stood beside Nadena's ear."Do you want to know what will happen to him?"Nadena's pupils dilated once again. She wanted to speak, to make Violet release her body, but it was futile. She wouldn't have the chance.With her body half naked like this, she couldn't hope that Violet would treat her well."I'll give you a choice, but if you don't obey me, I'll kill you! Do you want to save him?"There was no response, just a stare filled with hatred in response to all this.Her periodic breathing was a witness to her courage to challenge Violet's power."True, if you can't answer, this will get
This giant dome slowly began to shrink to the size of a baseball.Zemius and Mary approached the dome, still feeling the magical power emanating from Azazel's body, causing them to hesitate in taking the dome."What are we going to do with this object?" Mary asked."Nothing more. We have to hand this over to Queen Violet! Only she will be able to handle all of this..." replied Zemius.Suddenly, Zemius looked back, his eyes fixed on an unusual location."What are you doing?""Nothing, I just feel like there's an enemy lurking there..."Mary tried to confirm this by spreading sensor energy, but despite her efforts, she found nothing; just a silence in the cold night.It wasn't completely wrong; indeed, there was someone lurking around watching this activity. Utilizing speed and the ability to erase its presence, even Azazel often remained unaware of its presence.Hastily, this masked woman left the area, intending to relay this information to Rudolf.At a considerable distance, she coul
"If it's gotten this far, then there's no time for me to stop here!"Whoosh...With high speed, Azazel's sword accompanied his movement. Piercing the current target with terrifying wounds."Argh..."Blood gushed out endlessly, futile for John to stop it, all based on a void energy that would damage someone's soul.Crash...He pulled back the sword; slowly, the created wounds started to pour out blood endlessly."D-Damn, why can you do this? Weren't you supposed to be easy for us to defeat?""How could lowly creatures like you hope to defeat me? You should be more self-aware in your actions..."He instilled fear into John's body, his eyes seeing Azazel covered in a black cloak with a skull face."Explosion..."With an energy attack rushing towards Azazel, Mary released so much energy.A single touch would result in a massive explosion, Azazel tried to evade it by quickly moving in various directions.Until a distance of 12 meters became the end of this attack, he saw that Mary and Rega
Kaboom...Only a massive explosion rocked the location; one could only wonder what would have happened if they weren't inside the dimensional space created by Mary."So, the power used by that person is incredibly dangerous. Even within this dimensional space, it has caused such a significant impact..." John glanced towards Mary.Every damage inflicted on the dimensional space would transfer to the user, but it was only at a rate of 6 percent, which was very low. However, if the attack used exceeds the dimensional space's endurance, then this rule no longer applies.Regar, who had been saved, still couldn't believe he could breathe. He looked at his two comrades there with the same wide-eyed shock. They were all startled when they learned this terrible fact.Azazel had been watching the three from a distance, his face showing anger at the situation."We can't be here for long! The power used by this man is incredibly dangerous. Sooner or later, he will start launching high-level attac
One thing Jeluis didn't understand, his opponent at the moment wasn't an amateur. He was someone who had engaged in various dangerous battles, even repeatedly devastating regions with his full power.Compared to himself, who only used strength when in danger, Azazel was far more than just a knight in combat.After all, he was the angel of death.Confidently, Jeluis exerted his power to reunite his separated body.Crash...But, at that moment, there was an attack so fast, not just once, but..."No, don't tell me he'll launch consecutive attacks relentlessly. How can I restore my body if he doesn't give me a chance..."Azazel had used a similar pattern before. One way to overwhelm a regeneration user is to launch multiple attacks non-stop and without interruption.His three comrades shuddered at Azazel's ferocity. It wasn't just about speed, but the sword's swing was simply extraordinary.Speed is far beyond the limits of an average person's strength. A speed like that might not be beli
Jeluis still looked on calmly, as if harboring no fear towards the figure of Azazel who exuded an aura of terror."There he is, let's capture him..."And finally, their presence had drawn the attention of the soldiers.Azazel's eyes glanced at the people arriving to capture him, but before that could be done, they had to surround Azazel first."You all won't be able to defeat him here!"Jeluis' words were not heard by the people; they were still too confident that Azazel would be easy to capture.Without much thought, one by one they try to attack Azazel.Crash...And that's what happened next, in movements like light, Azazel slashed each person who tried to approach him.From one body slash down, he moved to another to deliver a fatal blow.It was this speed that caused the soldiers' bodies to be mutilated in a gruesome state."I told you all that you wouldn't be able to..."Swungs...That didn't apply to Jeluis either; with this dangerous speed, Azazel approached him, delivering a d
"How could he do this..."What Jeluis did was far from Nadena's expectations. Just as she almost launched an attack, Jeluis found an opportunity to narrow the distance and then strangle her.Nadena's body was lifted by Jeluis, her throat completely choked by his strong grip."Let me go...""If you want to be released, then I will do it..."With a rough thrust, Nadena's body was thrown towards the wall. Her back felt painful, reducing her mobility to take action."Darn it, if it's like this, I won't be able to defend myself...""You should stay calm and let me capture you..."Nadena was not willing to comply. Despite being exhausted and struggling, she still tried to stand, bravely leaning on her staff to show that she was not a weak girl."Do you still want to face me?"The answer was already confirmed through the magical wand, which seemed to be gathering significant energy, preparing to be released and bring destruction upon Jeluis.Jeluis could only sigh deeply; he couldn't comment
"Will he be okay? I'm sure he will, right?"Nadena's eyes quickly narrowed sharply; she sensed someone approaching the room. No, it wasn't Azazel's energy.Indeed, Azazel's energy would have felt more threatening, but that was precisely what made it easier to recognize.She tried to close her eyes to further identify. This area had specific sensors in place that would make it easier for her to know who was deliberately coming or just passing by.Of course, all this accuracy couldn't be one hundred percent; there had to be thoughtful consideration before assuming it was an enemy's action.But here, it was some people who approached and then stopped in front of the door. She felt three energies standing at the door."What are they going to do? Are they deliberately looking for trouble with me? I thought their actions had gone too far, but what else could I do? There must be a few things to be wary of here..."With thoughts like that, Nadena became sharper in her surroundings, especially
In the end, Nadena didn't find any explanation. Azazel chose to remain silent; during their journey, there was no conversation they could do.Nadena was also worried that Azazel might still consider herself a part of Heiran, which would only complicate matters further.The sturdy man's posture showed no signs of collapsing; his serious eyes remained fixed on the large forest."Can I ask you something..." Nadena couldn't contain these words any longer and deliberately stopped Azazel in his tracks.Azazel didn't turn, just glanced slightly backward, but it didn't give enough time for his steps to stop."What?""Do you trust the masked person from earlier?""No, I never trust anyone, including you..." he replied bluntly.Nadena shuddered at hearing this. Until now, she couldn't believe that Azazel still thought of her as a stranger."Is that so..." However, what was the point of trying to explain this to him? It was certain that her presence here would only be a nuisance."But, so far, t
