Are you kidding me?! Oh, come on! Really?! If there is a god of comedy, please reveal yourself right now as we have a lot of talking to do!I cannot believe that I just witness a current transformation of a human into some kind of demon shit!Yes, I am angry! Why can’t this world give me a proper ending to my first major task?I was laughing internally to my enemy earlier because I thought if the dude survives, he will die of a heart attack someday due to anger issues. Though I know I am the reason for that anger.But now I think my blood pressure is rising and the dude will laugh at me if he saw my expression.Good thing I was hiding just beside a tree. It’s just been 30 mins since I took him down and now this? What kind of ridiculous gag show is this?I tried to calm myself and when my normal composure resumed, I walk and find Robert which is currently in the front right now and ready to combat once the transformation finish.Robert noticed my presence heave sighed with relief.“I t
I gulped, this is it. The final stage of the boss is like the video game I played. Fortunately, our lifeline suddenly shows up.Bea and the medieval cannon show before my eyes.I hurriedly stand up while the density of dark mana is getting heavy that surrounded the demon.“Everyone stop the healing! All the healers come here!” I shoutedMay it be from the empire or the Narva kingdom, I don’t care as the healers from both sides start running towards our location.“Bea, please order all the knights and magicians to protect us if the demon finishes his preparation and starts to attack us.” JinShe just nodded her headI placed my hand on the knob and feel an ominous aura. I turned the knob and pull it.The artificial core suddenly drops to the ground. I took it and placed it in my chest pocket.I start to release mana on my palm that surrounds the whole cannon.So this is how it can be operated.I hurriedly urged every healer including Elena to infuse mana using their chant of healing.E
“Are you saying that this newly created weapon destroyed that whole area?” Crown Prince asked in astonishment while pointing to the area specified in his question.“That is correct Your Highness.” Bea“And you’re saying that when the healers use that weapon, no explosion occurred?” This time the crown prince pointed the weapon.“No explosion occurred just a calming and brilliant light?” The crown prince continued.“Everything you said just now is all correct Your Highness.” BeaThe crown prince places his hand on his chin and ponders something.“I’ve never heard nor read any circumstances in the royal palace. Can anyone explain how it’s possible?”This time no one spoke but all of their gazes turns on me who silently enjoyed my cup of coffee.The crown prince, commander of the stronghold named Magnus, Bea, Robert, Elena, and I are currently inside the house prepared in advance for arriving crown prince.Luckily, the house is outside the radius of the explosion and is well prepared lik
“Selene is the spy who I formed a contract with. She already held the bargain on her end and it is my turn to help her and get her family from the empire.” Jin “Are you really going with her?” Crown Prince “Yes, besides it is an opportunity to know more about the empire. Do not worry, I will not dig deep and dwell there for too long. Just give me 4 days and I’ll be here again.” I told them and continue telling my plan The traveling from here to the empire will take two days and another 2 days to get back here to the stronghold. I will use the time needed by Selene in helping her family flee from the empire to gather intel. Good thing for us, the last supplies arrived during the war and the carriages of merchants were halted by the royal knights that accompanied Bea and Selene when they retrieve the cannon weapon. Once we finish our task in the empire, Selene and her family will stay and be on house arrest for the time being in Lithe City on Hayne’s Territory which everyone agreed
I just smiled and give her 1 gold coin and left the shop with the books. The next stop is the adventurer guild. I quickly left the book shop and proceed to Adventurer Guild.As expected, the establishment and guild itself are a bit the same as what the anime portrayed. They have a section for the cafeteria, a lounge area to relax, a waiting area for applicants, and a wide board where different missions are posted.I better sit and observe for now. After sitting in the secluded part I get myself a newspaper I noticed on the table.I pretend to read while eavesdropping on the nearby group of people talking.“Didn’t you hear the news? The empire is scheming with demons!”“Shhh! Lower your voice, someone from the empire might hear you, although we are safe inside the guild there is no assurance if we are outside.”“I heard the empire pretending to invade the Fyn Kingdom but their real goal is to conquer the Narva Kingdom.”“Every nation wants to conquer the Narva Kingdom so it’s not that
We quickly finish our lunch and headed to her bookshop. I told her in advance to get some books related to her family heirloom while I’m reading the page where the word “rune” is decoded. Those books are just preparation in case the hidden text or code is instructing us to look to different books for another clue. In my previous life, the history of secret writing is used in the middle twentieth century to convey or cascade the hidden message to the recipient. It is actually a spy thing and there are three different types of how to conceal messages which can be revealed by heat, chemical, and UV light. Since this world’s science and technology are underdeveloped, it is safe to say I can decipher the secret message using heat. As long as they use fruit or vegetable fluids, deciphering it is easy. But there is one thing I want to confirm first. Then I look at a girl currently collecting a book related to her family heirloom. She safely put all the books on the table and seated. “B
I do not know what came over me but to offer something to help them overthrow the current emperor is a big gamble. I may risk our life mostly Elena, if ever that girl named Celeste is secretly working in the empire and just pretending against them in front of me. Though it’s a gamble, I made sure to make a counter plan if she was indeed working secretly with the empire. Before I left, we prepared two copies of the rune page using the hidden text and burned the original and we both keep one copy. *Sigh What’s done is done. But there are things to be glad at. I learned a piece of very helpful information about the empire. The mayor openly opposed the emperor and how to make a weapon and armor endowed with rune magic. I get excited knowing that the steel I manufactured which is a thousand times stronger than iron can be improved again with rune magic. But since it is just a lesser type, it is safe to say the dwarves have different types of rune magic from weakest to strongest. I a
On a cold night, only the moonlight can provide illumination to the forest. Three spies are stealthily walking toward the two silhouettes resting on the shades of a tree. One of them throw two daggers with poison and the two followed it by plunging their sword into the chest of two silhouettes. But to their surprise, no blood comes out on their body. Confusion shrouded their mind but they become alert when they feel a distortion of mana on their back. They were about to jump to escape but they were cut by a halberd. One of the spies died instantly while the remaining two still breathing due to the cut on their necks was not deep. The man who cut them instantly stops them from moving by pointing the halberd at them. “Now talk. Who sent you?” The man asked who cut his allies. The spy let out a loud laugh. The man who has a halberd joined the laugh which confused the spies. But the confusion turns to fear when the man plunges the halberd into the neck of the spy. “You guys are fun
