There was a big fight between Raphael and the male bandits who came to attack their group. However, the fight didn't last long as reinforcements soon arrived and drove the bandits away.However, according to Raphael there was something strange going on here, there was no way they would just come like this, then leave after seeing help coming. Raphael immediately remembered about his friends who immediately left there to save themselves."What about them?" Raphael also intended to run towards the tent used by his Adventurer group, he wanted to see what was happening there.But, not to mention Raphael managed to take a step away from there, he already heard that he was called by someone. When Raphael turned around he found Andrew standing there with his proud face while glancing fiercely at Raphael."You! Stay here, I'll be interrogating the patrolmen on duty today!" Andrew also issued an order and forbade the patrol officers to leave the scene."But-"Raphael was just about to mak
Andrew was not happy with what Catherine said at this time, he still couldn't believe what he was hearing at this time, how could this little witch dare to say such things to him in front of his soldiers like this."How dare you say that to me!" Andrew shouted loudly at Catherine without forgetting while raising his index finger towards Catherine angrily.It seemed that if no one was here it was certain that Andrew would run up to Catherine and attack her with all his strength because he was too annoyed.Even though she was quite surprised by what Andrew had done, Catherine remained calm in her place, not moving in the slightest at this time. Catherine reciprocated Andrew's treatment without releasing excessive emotions in return."But, you know best that as the Captain of this expedition, I am the one with the authority to make decisions. So, I myself will determine Raphael's punishment." Finally, Catherine also dropped her final attack on Andrew with the current facts.Andrew cou
Hearing what Catherine said at this time, at first Raphael couldn't believe what he was hearing, but seeing that there was no sign that Catherine was lying, Raphael came to believe that this news was genuine.Even though Raphael still couldn't believe it, somehow Catherine did it to make Andrew decide to leave Pearl City, Raphael was still happy with this good news, however they couldn't continue to be in Pearl City which was full of criminals."What will happened to get us out of Pearl City this time?" Ettienne, who still couldn't believe what he was hearing, became very curious about what Catherine had done to get them out of Pearl City."What is certain is that Catherine has done something to make Andrew finally agree to leave this city and continue our journey to the city of Sapphire." Raphael could only say this because he also didn't know what Catherine had done at this time."Somehow I even feel that Andrew will do something to us for making it like this," Ettienne replied fe
A noise was heard in an orphanage, a group of youths were seen intimidating other youths. Raphael Salazar was seen curled up on the ground while protecting his head from the kicks given by his other friends. "Look at this loser, I haven't even hit you yet, but you're already cowering like that," Simon said laughing mockingly at Raphael who was already scared to see him. Raphael's body trembled with fear when he realized Simon was moving closer to him, he stepped back, avoiding Simon who was sure to beat him with all the strength the young man had. Raphael felt his hair being pulled by Simon so he could look up and look at the boy. "I've told you many times to look at me when I speak, don't you want this Loser?" Simon asked with a smirk hanging on his lips. Panicked and frightened, Raphael painstakingly nodded his head, confirming Simon's words to him. I don't know what Simon will do to him, Raphael can only wait for the strange orders that these evil people will give. "Tomorrow
After hearing what Richard had said earlier, the other youths fell silent in their place, hesitant to volunteer for the upcoming Dungeon trials. Raphael was initially hesitant because he was afraid that he would only die in vain if he took part in the Dungeon trial. But as Simon continued to stare at him intently, Raphael couldn't help but raise his trembling hand to volunteer. “Finally, there were those who volunteered. You who raised hand, come here,” shouted Richard calling for Raphael who was in the back row. Not far from Raphael's position, Simon smirked when he saw Raphael come forward while lowering his head. Then, Simon and his friends also raised their hands, they were already planning to take part in this dungeon trial. Richard was not too surprised when he saw Simon's group come straight forward, he knew that Simon was one of the youths who had the strongest magic in their orphanage. Sensing that many people were starting to walk behind him, Raphael glanced slightly be
Three days quickly passed, with no one to help him, Raphael prepared himself alone in his cramped and cold room. Luckily during these three days Simon didn't bother him and let him live his day in peace. Even so, Raphael was increasingly worried about what Simon and his gang were doing. Raphael started to have some wild thoughts, “Are they really planning to kill me in the Dungeon? No way right? Mister Richard said not to cause trouble in the Dungeon, of course they wouldn't do that to me right?” Many questions arose in Raphael's mind, he tried to think positively and refused to believe Simon's previous words. During these three days, Raphael's feelings never calmed down, instead he felt constantly anxious, how could he not go into a dangerous Dungeon today to do a test, he could die anytime in there, not to mention the problem with Simon who kept continues. With a deep sigh, Raphael got up from his place and took his backpack that was next to him, then decided to leave his room,
When his name was called, Raphael stepped slowly from the ranks of the remaining youths, he looked around and noticed the Dungeon gate and felt that he was getting goosebumps as he was about to step foot into the Dungeon gate that had been opened. While gulping down his spit roughly, Raphael took a deep breath and stepped into the dark Dungeon. Raphael's body shook slightly as he entered the dungeon, when he opened his eyes again, he was already inside the dungeon. Inside the Dungeon the only source of light was from the torches mounted on the walls. Even though he was afraid, Raphael tried to be brave, he started to walk down the long hallway in front of him. Feeling that he needed to prepare himself, Raphael took out a dagger from the backpack he was carrying. Raphael held the dagger in front of his body while looking left and right just in case there were monsters around. Occasionally Raphael looked behind him to see his other friends, but no one entered after that, he didn't
“S-simon! I-I didn't mean to…” Raphael tried to explain himself to Simon who was walking closer to him. Unfortunately, Raphael felt that his back had hit the wall behind him and at this time he couldn't go anywhere because from the front, Simon was very close to him, even in a few seconds he would arrive before him. "Want to take the opportunity to kill me?" Simon grinned at Raphael who looked really scared at the moment, he didn't expect that this loser would dare to take advantage of a dangerous situation like this to attack him. This time Simon stood in front of Raphael with a straight face, it felt like he was tired of grinning at Raphael who was still trembling with fear under his feet. "I'll tell you what real pain feels like." In a flat voice Simon spoke while glaring at Raphael. To be honest Raphael felt very scared now, he could even feel that his pupils were trembling because he felt that his life was on the verge like this. Raphael's fragile body also shook when he saw

As it got late, Raphael felt that the atmosphere around him was becoming increasingly tense and cold. Starting to sense that the guests coming tonight would soon bar their fangs at them.It's just that until now Raphael still didn't see any movement from them, making him quite suspicious of what was happening. Though now is the most appropriate time to launch an attack on the expeditionary group.Not only was it the middle of the night, but also because by this time the patrol members were quite caught off guard having already made two rounds of patrols and found nothing, so they had little intention of going out on patrol."Even though I was expecting them to attack at this point, why haven't they made their move even now?" muttered Raphael confusedly, he still didn't understand what the criminals were thinking.Having to be wary of attacks by criminals that could happen at any time, Raphael didn't move far from the tents of his group of Adventurers. If Raphael saw any sign that
It was only then that Raphael learned that Catherine had a secret place where they could hide if their group of Adventurers were attacked by criminals in Pearl City.That way Raphael was calm enough because at least his group of Adventurers could be a bit safe with the help given by Catherine. It's just that Raphael was a little suspicious of these criminals, weren't they afraid of the risk they would take by attacking the official expedition party from another city?For some reason Raphael thought that they were related to what James and Andrew had said earlier in the main building. Was Andrew keeping them here on purpose to finish them off? Raphael realised that what he was thinking was quite reasonable.Given that their group of Adventurers were troops brought personally by Catherine and Raphael guessed that Andrew didn't like this.It seems that because of his greed, Raphael guessed that Andrew wanted him to be in complete control of this expedition and use Catherine as his pup
Raphael had to wait a few moments for the argument between Catherine and Andrew to subside. After that Raphael also saw that Catherine walked out of the previous tent.At that time Raphael thought that this was not the right moment to tell Catherine the information he had. So, Raphael decided to immediately step away from that place to return to his patrol area.So that whole night Raphael followed his patrol obediently and luckily nothing bad happened that night. Because only one group was formed for the night patrol, Raphael could only rest when the sun rose. . . .Having not slept all night, Raphael woke up from his sleep at noon after the next morning he immediately returned to his group's tent to sleep and rest.When Raphael woke up from his sleep, he immediately came out of the tent because he heard a commotion that was quite disturbing. Raphael was quite curious when he heard that there was a noise coming from outside.What surprised Raphael when he was outside the tent
The rest of the night passed smoothly, thanks to the help from Ettienne, Raphael was not suspected when the core of the expedition made a check for trouble in the surroundings.Raphael, who was pretending to be asleep at that time, heard the reason they gave for checking the tents used by everyone.Due to last night's unusual events, Raphael heard that there had been a lot of whispers being heard among the soldiers as well as Adventurers. They were quite curious about what happened, so that the core members of the expedition made a sudden check.Robert and his two friends glanced at Raphael suspiciously, he suspected that Raphael had done something to make the core members of the expedition check last night."Is this your doing, Raphael?" asked Robert in a low voice, not wanting anyone else to hear what he was saying.Raphael shook his head slowly "No, I just went to meet Catherine at her tent last night," Raphael replied while telling the others about what he did last night after d
At this time Raphael was back to using his usual black robe when he wanted to act, usually he wandered around society with his casual appearance without a robe, now that he had to sneak into the residence of the leader of Pearl City, he had to use this robe to cover his appearance. .Right now Raphael was trying to be as calm as possible to enter the residence, he had to pay attention to his surroundings as there were many people standing guard there to protect the place. It's just that Raphael still doesn't know where the guards are.In order for Raphael to enter the residence, he first had to go take out the guards that were around the main building which was in a luxurious neighbourhood that had several buildings around it.If not then Raphael would make his target alert and he would most likely be chased by another guard who would soon come to arrest him and he would immediately make Andrew and his interlocutors become alert and be even more careful than before."I have to find
Throughout the day until nightfall everything went smoothly without anything suspicious happening. It was only when it was night like this that Raphael decided to meet Catherine, he chose this time so that not too many people would see him meet Catherine later.Currently in a fairly large circle along with several troops brought over by the Amethyst city government as well as the Adventurers were surrounding a bonfire while enjoying their dinner.Seeing that this was the right time to sneak in, Raphael gave Ettienne the signal that he would immediately go to meet Catherine first."Say something while I'm away so no one suspects me," Raphael whispered to Ettienne for help before slipping away."Don't worry, I will do something to cover your departure." Ettienne nodded his head understanding what Raphael meant at this time.After making sure everything was safe, Raphael slowly moved from his position and started away from the crowd of people who were gathering for dinner that night.T
