At night at the bar, people filled the tables and seats to the point that it was packed. Matthew, Rain, Potolo, Bartolo and Mala were sitting on the second floor at a table with another two short but stout figures. They were dwarves clad in business attire.

(Why did we wait until night to meet these guys?) Matthew thought but didn’t voice it.

“It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr Sky.” One of the dwarves extended a hand to Rain.

“A pleasure as well.” Rain accepted the hand and shook it firmly.

“I see that you did not come alone. Who are these people, if I may ask?”

“They are capable mercenaries I hired.” Rain said while taking a single glance at the others beside him.

“You hired mercenaries?” The dwarf was probably suspicious of it. Of course he would. Why would a top rank Hunter hire some mercenaries to help?

“By her majesty the Elf Queen’s order. Also, having a few extra hands is convenient.” Rain kept it simple and convincing enough for the dwarves to accept it.

    An hour later, the group arrived at the station right by a mining site. Potolo woke his siblings up while Rain, Matthew and the dwarves were already walking toward the door. When Matthew got down, he looked around the station.It seemed pretty old. The metallic bars holding the roof were rusting at certain places. The floor was made from ceramic tiles it seemed and it had patches of dirt and moss between the tiles. Some of the tiles were also cracked.(When was this station built? It looks old but thinking this world doesn’t have a car yet, the dwarves are quite far ahead in technology to have a bullet train.) Matthew thought.The technology of Magiheim was all over the place. It was like they made great leaps without taking a few steps back. The phones that were just recently developed were also really ahead of the other technology available in the world.(This doesn’t make sense.) Was what Matthew thought, but he realised something a second later. (Or maybe it’s because people from

    At an underground city, there were multiple giant centipedes that were wreaking havoc within it. Several houses carved out of stone were already destroyed during their rampage. The citizens, the goblins, were powerless to do anything against the giant monsters.“Gyaah!!”“Hold your groun- Agh!”“[Fireball]!”“[Black Bullet]!”“It’s not working!”Many brave warriors have gone to fight the centipedes but they all died in vain as the centipedes kept advancing without mercy. The higher tier race of their species, the hobgoblins, were also defeated with ease. Those that were capable of using magic could not even scratch them.A young goblin girl was running for her life along with her mother. A centipede was quickly closing in on them despite many trying to stand in its way. While running, the girl was looking back at the massacre behind with teary eyes. Those were relatives and people she knew. Her heart broke and her spirit dwindled but her legs kept running being pulled by her mother.N

    Potolo had just returned from gathering food and putting them on the ground somewhere in the safe zone. Bartolo was also there checking the rations that they gathered.“These should be enough for a few weeks, I think. What about you brother?” Bartolo asked Potolo.“We won’t need a few weeks. Several days is sufficient, one week at most.” Potolo said while looking at Matthew and Gon who were chatting.Bartolo noticed the discomfort in his brother. “Who do you think that guy is?”“Not someone I like. I don’t like a mere goblin talking to him like friends. But Master seem to be enjoying himself, so I will not interfere.” Potolo was really holding back from attacking the goblin. He was in a calm anger state right now.“Don’t be jealous brother. If anything, Master will still rely on us.” Bartolo stood up and patted Potolo’s shoulder.Potolo glanced at his brother and sighed. “Hah~ I know. It just still doesn’t sit right with me. Besides, the other goblins aren’t exactly welcoming.”“Yeah,

    Matthew, Rain, and Gon, as the guide, were walking through a tunnel that was dimly lit by glowing stones in the walls of said tunnel. They had left the city where they created a safezone for the goblins to stay temporarily with the chimaera siblings’ protection. Matthew, Rain, and Gon were currently headed for an ancient tomb that belonged to Dragon Emperor Arshild.On their way there, they encountered various monsters that dwell in the tunnel. However, there were no insects in their way. Most of them are simple sentient rocks or low class monsters, all of which were easily dealt with by Matthew and Rain’s not at all coordinated attacks.“You’re getting in the way, kid!” Rain angrily said to Matthew.“I was covering your back!”“I don't need you to cover my back!”“I know that but I still want to!”“Screw off!”“Nope!”“Hah~ what the hell is wrong with them?” Gon sighed as he walked at a steady pace behind the two who kept rushing forward to defeat the monsters and coming back afterwa

    After their short dispute, Matthew, Rain, Gon, and the tomb’s guardian, Theraphosa, were heading inside the very tomb. They were not in the tomb yet, they were walking through a hall that was partially destroyed. Theraphosa was in the lead.“My lord always loved creating unique equipment and devices. Most of them work, and some of them were defective products. The Celestial Gears were the last equipment that my lord made. At the cost of his life.” Theraphosa told them of the history of the Gears from her personal experience.“My lord sacrificed his own life for the sake of billions more. With the creation of the Celestial Gears, a band of heroes were supposed to defeat the Scarlett King. Twelve pieces of equipment, for one life. He really sacrificed himself for the greater good. His own life.” Theraphosa kept repeating the same context. It was getting annoying Rain but he said nothing.“The Gears were not meant for ordinary people to use. Some died during the testing phase but those w

    “So, care to explain?” Theraphosa, the human-spider hybrid, asked while putting her face only an inch from Matthew’s face.Matthew was scared and took a step back from her. Theraphosa only got closer to him.“Blair, Draco Blair, the Dragon Emperor of destruction. His name, Blair, was in your name. On top of that, you are a draconic humanoid. Who are you really?” Theraphosa interrogated him.(Why was she angry?) Matthew thought in his mind.Matthew threw away the question in his head and answered her question. “Well, to tell you the truth, I really did not know I’m a dragon human. I just know that I am Draco Blair’s descendant. Which is why the door scanned me as ‘Blair’ even though I didn’t mention that, probably.”Theraphosa was surprised. It was clearly written on her expression. “Y-you’re a descendant?!” Her voice echoed in the chamber.Matthew nodded. “Yes. I think it’s fine to do it here. [Dispel].” Upon his command, Matthew’s facial appearance changed first followed by his hand.

    A flood of mist quickly filled the room. Matthew, Rain, Theraphosa, and Gon were surprised to see this sudden event. Out of all of them, only Rain was able to act immediately in this situation while the others were utterly confused.“[Breeze]!” Rain casted a wind spell that blew away all of the mist.When the wind cleared the mist, an unbelievable sight was revealed. The room that was once filled with weapons and equipment, it was now half empty while the other half had dog sized ants carrying the weapons out of the chamber.“What the-?!” Matthew was shocked when he saw that.The ants paid them no heed and kept on with what they were doing. More mist was coming in from outside. The moment the mist covered an ant, it completely hid the ant’s presence.“Is this magic?” Gon asked.“No way. I didn't even sense them through my webs!” Theraphosa, who had set up webs all over the tunnel as part of her home, somehow did not notice anything passing through.“Less asking, more killing.

    Matthew, Rain, Gon, and Theraphosa were gathered by the entrance to the tomb after they managed to drive away the insect king named Noso. They regrouped inside the tomb and discussed their next action.“I can’t believe that you were able to crack that monster’s armour. As expected of Lord Matthew!” Theraphosa praised him with shining eyes.“Yeah, you were really strong. He ran away right after getting punched.” Gon said.Rain was also impressed but he asked Matthew a question instead of praising him. “Still, if you could’ve beaten him, why didn’t you do it? You could’ve finished him off.”Matthew shook his head from side to side. “I wasn’t confident. I put all of the power I could conjure into that one punch and it only cracked his shell. His armour is definitely tougher adamantite. My hand hurt from punching him too.” Matthew showed his right hand that still had a tingling sensation.“I couldn’t think of any way to deal with him. Of course, I didn’t use my best attack, but it was by

    At the edge of the pit, it was them. A total of nine of the Scarlett family members.From the right, a woman with long red hair and black and white dress was casting a healing spell on Bilgrae. A male elf in full black armour with a star shaped bang of three red points and two white points and his black hair was split in the middle. A demon with dark violet hair and a pair of horns at the side of her head and wore a jet black skin tight suit which exposed certain parts, Crymillia. In the middle, it was a man with short bright red hair wearing a black and gold robe. Then, a man with black hair in a red and black suit. Another demon with about the same features as Crymillia except that his hair was short and he wore a black cloak over his suit. Then there was a man with spiky red hair in a red robe with a high collar, Crone, the one that Matthew and his friends fought at the Great Sandcastle. Finally, there was the black feathered avian human, Skystorm.Seeing Skystorm in good health, M

    Confronting Bilgrae now was what he expected to see from a Dragon Emperor.Matthew was now at maximum output of his astra and all of it was condensed in his body. Bright red scales covered his entire body and he grew slightly in size. His muscles became more toned and also increased in size. A pair of horns of a darker tone of red grew out of his forehead that curved to the back of his head. Both of his eyes were glowing golden as his hair was.“Let’s finish this!” Matthew did not delay any further. He couldn’t maintain this form for long so he must finish the fight quickly.Matthew dashed toward Bilgrae who was ready for Matthew. Their fists clashed again and this time, not only was Bilgrae pushed back, he felt pain in his knuckles. Matthew was much stronger than before and far faster too. Utilising his speed, Matthew went for another punch to Bilgrae’s gut.“Oof!” Bilgrae got the air knocked out of him with the first hit.Matthew followed up with a barrage of punches. Bilgrae truly

    After being blown away by Skystorm’s wind, Matthew regained his footing and was met with the big lizardman, Bilgrae Scarlett. Bilgrae had a smirk on his face. Matthew stood up and faced Bilgrae, but his eyes were not on him. Matthew’s eyes fell on Falynx in the far distance.“Are you still concerned about that monster?” Bilgrae asked with his deep voice.Matthew looked at Bilgrae now. “It’s hard to know which one is the monster here.”“Heh, you’re right. All of us are monsters deep inside. It just takes one misstep to turn a person into one. You’ve been there too.”“No I haven’t.”“Maybe not to you. But the whole world saw you as one. Now that monster suddenly turned into an emperor and they suddenly glorified you, while some still hate you of course.”“Hmph.” Matthew huffed.“You’re angry with me, I understand. I purposely did not kill that beast. Out of compassion.”“Don’t lie. You Scarletts don’t know what that means.”Bilgrae wasn’t smiling anymore. “You don’t know how merciful fa

    Akame and Skystorm were separated from Matthew and Bilgrae. Akame stood up after being blown away by the powerful gust of wind created by Skystorm. Their eyes met. Both of their irises were bright red and gazed deeply.“I will be your foe, Red Cardinal.” Skystorm said.“What relic will you take? What will you use it for?” Akame asked.“Straight to the questions huh… That’s not any of your business. Why would you care what we take anyway if you’ll die?”“To evaluate whether it’s worth fighting for or not.”“Hmm, a smart choice. If you don't want to fight, then I shant confront you. Sadly, it seems that Lord Dragunov disagrees with you. If he is in the way, then we must remove him. I don’t think that leaves you an option now.”Backing out from this would mean that Matthew will be fighting two people. If they weren’t among the Scarlett Army’s strongest, it probably wouldn’t be hard for him to deal with alone. Both of their foes were really strong and Akame had no expectation of defeating

    After their encounter with Falynx, they reached an agreement to conduct an investigation as they intended. Falynx had flown back to the surface on its own. Matthew and Akame headed to the temple and arrived at the front door.For some reason, even though they were underground, it was as clear as day down here. It was not dark and not too bright either, like a cloudy day.There were stairs that led to the door and the walls in the area were already partially destroyed. Some of the stairs were also gone. The giant door was made of stone and seemed to be intact with little cracks around the hinges.Matthew pushed one of the doors open. It was surprisingly heavy so Matthew had to lean into it to move it. Akame went inside first and inspected the place. There was a stage and a podium carved out of stone at the end of the great hall. A mural was carved out of the wall behind the stage depicting a supposed god holding the sun in his hands.Matthew left the door open and joined Akame to look

    In the middle of the desert, there were two figures running across the sands. Clouds of sand were left behind in their quick steps. The cloak provided by the minister was really working. No sand was sticking onto them.“We’re getting close.” Matthew informed Akame.Almost two hours have passed since they left the city. Many monsters came their way but they were easily dealt with. It caused a little delay but not enough to affect their momentum. Falynx’s presence was still about 10 kilometres away.“Be ready for battle.” Akame said.“Remember though, don’t kill it.” Matthew reminded her.A few minutes later, a gigantic figure could be seen flying in the sky. The creature had the body of a snake, the head of a crocodile and six pairs of batwings. Its yellow eyes with black vertical slits looked down at the incoming people below.Falynx bowed its head and began descending. Matthew and Akame saw this as an engagement in battle. Matthew called out the Dragoknight to his arms and increased

    The sun was already high up in the sky in the Capital City of Kubalt. The weather was hot and dry as usual in San Coro. The street around this particular area was not that busy since it was right in front of the Palace of Al-Jauhara. One would occasionally see knights patrolling the area. Akame was waiting under the intense heat of the sun. She had covered herself in a large black cloth to protect herself from the heat. The guards out here only wore light armour compared to the ones inside, probably because their armour would be too hot to wear outside. Not too long after, she finally saw the one she was waiting for. Matthew was jogging toward her. He wore his long sleeved red hooded jacket and an orange shirt under it and a pair of black pants. He also had his usual travelling backpack with him. “Phew, sorry, did you wait long?” “Not too long. Did you not use a teleportation scroll?” Akame asked. “I did, but the closest one was to Yanbue City. Neither Platinum nor Rose were famil

    “What brings you here, Akame?” Matthew asked.Just a few moments ago, Akame had arrived in front of Platinum’s cave. Someone like who was a Coloured Hunter, passing through the Blackwood Forest and up the cold mountain was not a problem. Or not.Akame was hugging herself to keep warm but it was not helping at all. “Achoo! C-can we talk somewhere warmer?”“Oh, come on in.” Matthew invited her inside.Akame went in and they both made their way to the living room. Matthew didn't think that it was alright to bring her to the others directly. The living room had a fire to keep them warm, so here was enough.“Ah~” Akame warmed herself up by the fire and put her hands out.“So, what are you doing here without equipment to survive on a mountain? Certainly you didn’t come to interview us?” Matthew asked.“Queen Cleopatra sent me. We will investigate the ruin she mentioned together.” Akame said with the same emotionless voice as usual.“Cleopatra? Well, I was gonna head there in a few days anyw

    Matthew and Rose arrived at the foot of the mountain just by the Blackwood Forest where they dropped off of the carriage while Guinevere headed back to her palace. It was already very late in the afternoon when they got to the forest. Matthew carried Rose's luggage in hands while he also wore his backpack."I can carry my own stuff." Rose said."No, I will carry them for you. Anyway, are you sure you'll be fine?""My magic resistance is quite high. I also know how to disperse mana if it does accumulate inside me. How long exactly is it going to take to get up there again?" Rose looked up at the ledge near the mountain peak where Platinum's abode was."Well, usually only a few hours if you're moving at my usual speed. If we're walking though, a few days at least." Matthew said."But we're not walking, right?" Rose asked."Nope." As Matthew replied, a shadow flew past over them.A jade green dragon circled them as she descended to the ground nearby. Upon landing, the dragon folded its w
