"Go kick his ass, boss!"I exhaled as I entered the arena and went straight to the middle. As I walked, the spectators' roars resonated throughout the place, with some of them jumping due to extreme excitement while looking at me from the audience platform, where a tall wall was separating the arena and the audience platform above.From the crowd, I saw Rafaela waving her hand at me; beside her was Xin crossing his arms, and Leo was conversing with a guy wearing a butler suit standing next to him.I didn't know what they were discussing, so I could only wonder.I waved my hand towards Rafaela."So, you are the new leader of the Fang faction."The fuck?I immediately turned toward the person standing a few meters away from me.Since when has he been standing there? He literally came out of nowhere! I didn't even sense him with my Mana perception![Noticed: Absolute Concealment Skill in activation. Unlike Kuro, this elf has higher Concealment Skill, which includes not just his status bu
I aimed my hands at him and blasted the Fire and Electricity magic at once, but as expected, he was so fast that he dodged my attacks almost easily. [Notice: Fuse possibility has been detected] What is it? Tell me about it. [Fusing Conceal Skill and Mana Perception skill will produce a new advanced skill that will let you see through Advance Concealment. You will able to detect and measure one's mana better] Okay! Proceed! [Note: This fusing will consume a large amount of mana. Proceed?] Oh hell! I'm in the middle of a fight, but yes, please do it. [Confirmed] {Fusing Mana Perception Skill and Conceal skill…} [Note: Consuming mana is in process] Damn it. I will not be able to use too much mana now but rely on my physical and less consuming mana, common elemental magic. I blasted my Fire magic point blank, but he dodged it by spinning in the air while launching an effective counterassault and instantly covered my entire body in a white thread, immediately binding me in place
"I don't hate you, Troy. You look like a very kind person, but... I can't... I just can't." Leal shook his head while looking at me with distress in his eyes. "Don't ruin everyone's life just because you feel like it."While shivering, he slowly moved toward me and raised his fists."I don't think you can still fight. It's over."He spat blood and stared at me. "I can still fight."His body got more devastated than I thought, but at least he can still stand up.I exhaled. "Look, don't worry, I won't ruin anyone's life. I don't know what you people think about the people of my tribe, but I'm not like them. Don't go on judging someone based on your judgment or whatever. Besides, I'm not doing this shit because I just felt like it, well maybe a little bit, but most of it is because I have a goal in mind that makes the difference."He chuckled, but his voice was filled with ache. "Are you saying that you have a goal for this place?"I paused briefly, felt the sun's heat touching my skin,
(Third Person)Thirty years ago, before the extinction of the Summon Race, Sora Magestus, the last witch, was captured by Lancelot Ardglass, one of the seven corrupted holy knights, and was presented to the Grandmaster Kervil Isambard. Sora Magestus knew that her end was near."Seraphim," she whispered as she was forced to walk despite being heavily wounded and chained. [Yes]"Activate Delete Skill," she commanded. [Confirmed. Delete Skill has now been activated][Notice: Skills that have been acquired will now be under Deletion. Once begun, it will never be recovered]Sora smiled."What are you smiling at, witch?" one of the holy knights slapped her.It was painful, but Sora had to endure it. She refused to give in to the pain they had been inflicted on her. She knew all her hard work would be paid off soon. She accidentally stumbled on her chain, which made her captors pissed. She had difficulty getting up, but suddenly, another Holy Knight pulled her chain, and she fell on the
"Say, Leal," I said as I breathed. "I don't really know about Summons," I added. "How you acted seemed like you knew a lot about my kind." Leal sipped his tea before looking at me. "Summons were the hybrid of Demons and otherworlders' offspring, if not probably one of the strongest. The common Summons were the horn-types, and the rare were the opaque-eyed Summons. They were the race that the Witch Sora Magestus led during the rebellion," Leal replied."Rebellion?" "Yes. Sora was a brave witch who opposed the Grandmaster's order, leading to a conflict between the royals and citizens. With the help of Summons," Leal made another sip in his teacup. "According to the book I read, Summons was Azrael's bloodline. There was a myth about him leading all the races against the Ancient Serpent puppet, the Great Sage. He slaughtered the Sage and freed everyone from tyranny. But the Ancient Serpent cursed him and his bloodline. It was said Azrael knew about the curse and disappeared, leaving hi
With Kuro leading the way, we walked towards the center of the garden, where everyone was gathering.On our way, Leal's butler and maid-themed mercenary members gathered at the side of the cemented pathway and bowed their heads to us."Greetings, Master Leal and new faction leader, Troy."I nodded at them and continued.As I looked back from our location, I could see the terrace where I was earlier.It's a huge white mansion with a red roof with multiple terraces scattered around its three floors. "Boss!" Leo waved his hand at us.I walked towards them, and on our way, I saw a group having a tea party on a circular table.Rafaela waved her hand at me with a big smile on her face. Next to her were the girls in their group sipping the tea in their white teacups.I waved back and continued to our table, where I could hear Leo's loud laughter."You two are finally here; what took you so long?""We just made sure that the booze wasn't poisoned. Unfortunately, it isn't." Leal said as he sa
The following day, Xin, Leo, and even Leal picked Rafaela and me up and accompanied us to the territory of the Spriggan faction, where I could find Raiden. I wandered my eyes around the place as we walked toward the headquarters of the Spriggan faction. "How's your head, Leal?" Leo asked. "It feels like it's breaking apart; it's all thanks to you, you big imbecile." What caught my attention were the houses and buildings. All of them were built correctly and in good condition; some buildings were made of chiseled stones, and the people walking with us wore tunics and kirtles made of wool. However, it's quite apparent that there's only a handful of them compared to the other citizens of the other factions, where I could see people in every corner. Occasionally, there were some merchant's carriages passing down the brick road. This is the first time I've seen some since I arrived in this town! Are we sure we're still inside the infamous lawless town? I turned my gaze to
We walked through the gray concrete pathway leading to the mansion at the very center of the huge place surrounded by decorative shaped bushes and maple trees lining beside the road.However, behind those lines of trees and bushes were huge plain grasslands all the way to the towering fences from afar.Just like what I saw outside, the huge white mansion became a lot clearer now that we were already near it.From our location, the mansion looked incredibly gargantuan. It's the first time I've seen a huge mansion in my entire life.The exterior of the white mansion was filled with chiseled stone pillars and wall decorations, giving it a sophisticated vibe.At the end of the road, there's the white fountain encircled by the roundabout that would lead to four pathways: the other two would lead to the side part of the mansion, the other one would lead to the gate where we came from, and the one in front of us would lead to the staircase towards the entrance of the mansion.Anabelle and Da
