Chapter 33: Planning
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“Those goblins are camped here.” Matthew said as he pressed his finger on the map that was laid out. “There’s a little cliff here with fences around it. Then there’s a cave entrance at the back here. That’s possibly where they’re sleeping and that’s also where we’ll attack them.”
Rose and Yuki were standing opposite of Matthew at the table. Yuki observed the map and also the points that Matthew pointed at. Rose had her arms crossed.
“So what’s the plan?” Rose asked.
“These goblins really aren’t your average ones. They seem to have a system in their group. Which means that they have a leader. Their leader is probably a hobgoblin, I can’t be sure though,” Matthew said.
Matthew took a short breath before continuing. “We’ll attack them at noon, when they are most probably asleep. They would have two guards staying at the entrance and another four on patrol not far from the fence. We’ll move silen

BLAIR Chapter 34: The Visit
A day before Matthew, Rose and Yuki embarked on their quest. Cecilia was there with her father to see them off.“Good luck on your quest, all of you.” Gustav said as an inspiration to them.Matthew replied with a simple, “thank you.”“Be careful out there.” Cecilia said in worry.“Don’t worry. We’ll be fine. Are you sure you don’t wanna come too?”Cecilia fidgeted nervously as she spoke. “Well, I want to but… Mister Phillip is coming over, so I can’t really pass this opportunity either.”“It’s up to you. But maybe you should prioritize meeting your fiance. I mean, I guarantee you that we’ll have loads more quests to do in the future, but marriage is probably a once in a lifetime choice.” Matthew said.Cecilia let out a sigh.
BLAIR Chapter 35: Goblin Ambush
The sun was high in the sky as three Hunters silently made their way through the forest. The forest was not so dense, it provided more sight and also decreased the chances of getting ambushed by monsters.Matthew was in the lead as he was the one that knows the location of the goblin nest. Yuki and Rose followed not too close behind him.“We're getting close now.” Matthew said to them.As he said it, the fences were visible from where they were. With that now in sight, Matthew halted his steps.“Up ahead. On that cliff.” Matthew said while gesturing with his chin.“So now what?” Rose asked.“We’ll proceed as planned. I’ll go ahead while you cover me. After that, we’ll head inside.”“Okay.”“Yuki, just stay here. We’ll holler at y
BLAIR Chapter 36: Negotiation
Yuki was waiting outside while Matthew and Rose headed inside the goblin infested cave. Yuki sat on a stone that was placed by a campfire as she waited for Matthew and Rose to return.A few minutes passed already while she was waiting. Yuki was starting to get bored. She swung her legs back and forth as she hummed a little melody by herself.“Hmm~ Hmmm~ I wonder how they are doing?”Just then, she suddenly shot up from the stone and pulled out her bow as she aimed at the bushes. Her eyes squinted a bit to focus down her aim.‘Must be goblins. Their sense of smell probably already picked up the smell of blood.’ Yuki was just about to fire her arrow as she was sure, until whatever was hiding behind the bushes called out to her.“Wait! Don’t shoot!”“Who goes there?” Yuki immediately asked.

It felt cold. Perhaps it was night time. There were also sounds of people talking. Where was it coming from?“Uhhn…” Rose slowly opened her eyes, a dim light from a candle only slightly illuminated the surrounding.She looked to her left and then to her right. A wooden building. Under her was a bed. She’s been to this place before.“The village?” Rose shot up into a sitting position. She got off the bed and opened the door to outside. There was apparently a party going on.Rose could stare stupefyingly at the scene. People drinking around, chatting about, laughing, children running and also one particular figure who was just sitting at a table with a couple of other women., Yuki.Rose made her way to Yuki who seemed to be having a good time with the women. As soon as she got to the location, Rose tapped on Yuki’s shoulder.
BLAIR Chapter 38: Noble Date & Yuki Shopping
In the streets of the Western Omni region, two figures walked together side by side like a couple on their honeymoon. They definitely seemed to be enjoying their time. They ate deserts, went to the arcade, chatted and laughed. Phillip and Cecilia seemed very close now.Around noon, they were back at Cecilia’s mansion. They did not take the carriage or any vehicles nor did they bring any maids or butlers. They only wanted to enjoy their time between them.They were currently at the front gate where Phillip’s carriage to take him back to his mansion was parked.“Thank you for taking me out today as well.” Cecilia bowed.Phillip also bowed. “And thank you for coming with me. I must go now, see you again Cecilia.” Phillip was about to step into his carriage, when someone was suddenly shouting.“Hey! Cecilia! We’re back~!”&
BLAIR Chapter 39: Infiltration
The night was still and cold as gushes of wind blew past the city. Clatters from cats knocking over things, barks from dogs that guarded houses and silent footsteps of two people running and jumping from roof to roof. The figures were wearing black outfits.Then they stopped for a bit when they were close to their destination. The front gate was guarded by two soldiers as well a few more groups patrolling the area outside and the inside. Security was tight as what to be expected of a Noble’s home. However, that would not stop the acts of the two figures.One of them held out its hand. Out of thin air, a crossbow appeared in its hand and it was also already loaded with a hooked arrow along with a long rope. It aimed down the sight, aiming for the iron veranda of the mansion.The trigger was pulled and the arrow flew over the fence and stuck itself on the iron bars. The figure tugged on the rope to make sure it was s

Flames ablaze. Thundering roars. Heavy footsteps. Screams of fear. Deafening explosions. One being, that stands above all.The humanoid figure was tiny, yet it appeared so large. It was not an illusion. The large presence was from its energy that towers to the sky seemingly to no end. Its blazing eyes glared in bloodshot.The scene changed. Now a black black empty space filled the sight. One cannot tell whether one was closing its eyes or it just simply pitch black. Until another figure appeared but only for a brief moment and said a few words.“Be prepared. For what’s coming.”“Haah-!” Matthew woke up and instantly took a deep breath. He sat straight on his bed and he was panting heavily. His head hurts, but he did not pay much mind as his thoughts are more focused on something else.“What was that?” Matthew asked himself. His breathing

“When you say that I could try training with the butler, I didn’t think that it would be right now,” said Matthew as he picked up the wooden sword handed to him by the maids.“Bart does not do much other than directly serving me, so he has time on his hands,” said Gustav.”So feel free to train with him whenever.”“My lord, are you sure about me training this young man?” Asked Bart the butler.“It is fine. I will just be in my office. Well, good luck to you Matthew.” Gustav said lastly before heading off.“I could also train you if you want, but close combat isn’t my forte,” said Yuki.“It’s fine. I’ll give this a go first.” Matthew spun the sword in his hand. “So how are we gonna do this?”“Hmm you are already well trained as a Hunter

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
BLAIR Chapter 317: The Family pt.1
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
BLAIR Chapter 316: Test of Strength
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
BLAIR Chapter 315: Vampiric Origin
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
BLAIR Chapter 314: The Sun God's Temple
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
BLAIR Chapter 313: The Giant Winged Snake
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
BLAIR Chapter 312: Mission Briefing
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
BLAIR Chapter 311: No Rest
“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
BLAIR Chapter 310: Future Family
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
