One by one Raphael killed everyone in the small passage, not wanting to let a single person go. Raphael first finished off Felix's men who were near him, he let Brandon and his men try to escape, after all he was confident he could catch up to them all after slaughtering the people brought by Felix.Raphael's body was already covered in blood, if one were to see his current appearance, then with full faith they would definitely be running in terror right now. It wasn't wrong to actually call it that, because at this moment Brandon looked back and saw how Raphael was chasing them at the moment.Instantly their bodies immediately got goosebumps and the color of their faces was deathly pale at this time, Raphael grinned happily when he saw how his enemy's expression was filled with fear. With the help of his wind magic, Raphael also shot quickly to catch Brandon and his people running away.It didn't take long for Raphael to catch up with them, even now he was suddenly next to Brandon
Today Raphael decided to return to the west forest, he wanted to complete the Quest given by the previous System. The reason was that Raphael had already accumulated a lot of money to go to another city, so he was ready to leave Crimson City. Therefore, before leaving, Raphael wanted to avenge the people in Crimson City.Raphael had expected that the System would allow him to take revenge on Anthony from the Adventure Guild who had previously been looking for trouble with him, although Raphael himself had no idea why that person had not been looking for him recently.Because of that, Raphael wanted to settle his relationship with the System, so he could focus on dealing with Anthony and the Adventure Guild in Crimson City. So at this time Raphael intended to invite Ettienne to accompany him back to the western forest to look for clues to the ruins of the old temple mentioned by the System earlier.“Come on, let's head back to the west forest. There's something I have to look for t
A passerby who was stopped by Raphael turned out to be a woman wearing a hat that was also made of bamboo, at first Raphael was a little surprised because he thought the person was a man, but because he had already stopped the woman, Raphael could only remain silent. there while waiting for the answer from the woman.“Did you come here without knowing what place this forest is?” asked the woman while frowning in surprise, she did not expect that someone would come here without knowing what was in this place.Even though Raphael was confused, he still nodded his head in agreement with the woman's words, that's why he asked here because he really didn't know what people were doing in this place. Raphael desperately needed information about what was going on in this western forest, in case it could lead to the ancient ruins he was looking for.“Can you tell me about it? I just came to the western forest, so I don't really know what's here," Raphael replied, still trying to get informatio
Not understanding what was going to happen next, Raphael didn't move from his position, he just stood there looking around, hoping that something would happen soon, or it would be better if Ivy could appear in front of him immediately after he called her with the whistle. This.However, all Raphael encountered was a gust of wind that hit his face and fluttered his hair vigorously, "Should I wait like this for her to come?" muttered Raphael while rolling his eyes lazily, he didn't expect that he could only wait here like this.Moments later, Raphael felt the ground beneath him tremble violently, he frowned in confusion, thinking what else would happen now. Slowly from underground Raphael could see a vine like the one Ivy had put out before emerging from there.Instantly Raphael became alert and pulled his dagger out of the Inventory. Raphael immediately jumped to get away from the tendrils that started spreading from the ground, “Shit! What is this?! Why are there these horrible
Raphael could see Ivy's eyes twitch with shock at what she had said earlier. Raphael also felt that Ivy seemed to know something about the ruins of the ancient temple he was looking for at this time."Do you know anything, Ivy?" Raphael asked again, he was already curious whether Ivy really knew about the ancient ruins he was talking about at this time.Raphael would be very grateful if Ivy really knew about the ruins of the ancient temple, he didn't need to waste much time touring the west forest. Previously Raphael had tried to go look for himself and he realised that it was very tiring to do."It seems we can't talk about this here. Come with me," Ivy replied as she pulled Raphael's arm to follow her somewhere, she couldn't say anything in front of the many other forest elves.Before actually leaving that place Ivy looked back at her friends, "You guys go back to headquarters first, I'll catch up with you later," Ivy said with a smile on her face, not wanting to make her other f
As Ivy had told him, Raphael could rest easy now that they had left the forest elves' hideout base. Unlike what Raphael had expected before, he was taken in a different direction by Ivy, even though he thought they would return to the forest filled with colourful flowers, but they didn't."This is my first time here, you're not lying to me right?" Raphael asked while looking around, he was a little anxious at this time because this place was not familiar to him, so he couldn't calm down at this time, he couldn't fully trust Ivy who brought him this time.Ivy rolled her eyes when she heard how Raphael still doubted her, “If I really wanted to lie to you, I wouldn't have said I would take you there in the first place. Shut up and just follow me!” Annoyed that Raphael had been spouting nonsense all along, Ivy couldn't help but scold him.Raphael glanced sharply at Ivy, but she complied to cover her mouth and let them walk the path they walked in silence. Contrary to what Raphael had
Just as Ivy had said earlier, Raphael could feel that the pressure surrounding the ancient temple ruins grew heavier the closer they approached.Raphael could feel his footsteps getting slower than before, he wondered if this was because they were getting closer to the ruins of the ancient temple."What do you think? Can you see the difference?" asked Ivy with shining eyes, she was waiting for Raphael's response after they stepped closer."At first I couldn't believe what you were saying, but after getting closer, I saw what you meant." Raphael nodded his head in agreement with Ivy's words."Don't worry, what you're going through is normal here. It's great that you can still walk normally like now, if you can cover yourself with the mana you have, then you can move more freely here." It was seen that Ivy was starting to explain to Raphael about the ways they could do so they could move as usual in this place."Would that work?" asked Raphael, being curious, he also started experim
At this time Raphael and Ivy were already in the vicinity of the ancient temple ruins, he could see that around that place there were many ruins of this ancient temple he wanted to visit. Raphael also looked around to see the situation there and to be honest he could conclude that this place was completely destroyed and left only buildings that had been destroyed.“What happened to this temple to be destroyed like this?” Raphael asked while looking at Ivy who was beside him, feeling quite surprised by the state of this place. Raphael was also a bit regretful that this place had to be destroyed like this, he could imagine that this ancient temple must have been very large and majestic as well.It looked like Ivy didn't want to say what really happened in this place before, she just smiled a little at Raphael and continued to walk closer to the centre of the ruins of the ancient temple.Ivy actually felt a little curious about Raphael's real needs in this place, because this was the
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
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
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
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
