"If you take another step, I cannot guarantee your safety."When they heard this, Gord and the two cyclops' eyes immediately widened. They exchanged glances while sweat started to gather on their bare heads. They did not anticipate that a human, let alone the simple commander of a little army, would be able to see through their disguise.Contrary to the Brightwing Empire, which was at peace, the Beast Empire had always been engaged in civil war.The Beast Empire had the highest quality warriors of any empire, and Gord himself was an A-rank. Additionally, he was only a deputy captain of one of the more than 500 tribes that made up the Beast Empire.The captain was immediately above the deputy captain, followed by the commander, the general, the prince, and lastly the beast kings.One could already picture how powerful the beast kings would be when an ordinary deputy was already an A-rank."Instructor?"Roland shouted something odd out of the blue, which startled the troops who had been
I walked out of Gordon's house. I had to provide the locals with an explanation of what was happening so they wouldn't become concerned.Fortunately for me, more than a hundred people are outside Gordon's house. Simply alerting them would be sufficient, as they would quickly disseminate the word throughout the city."The beast race has dispatched a few of their people to investigate my city," I talked while examining the residents' expressions.I could see all of the emotions: fear, shock, and worry.But there was one more feeling I could detect in them, and that was trust. My battle with Roland the day before turned out to be worthwhile. The locals weren't ignorant; they were fully aware of how powerful their baron had become.Furthermore, Roland was capable of effortlessly defeating the remaining nine Cyclops on his own. This was yet another source of relief for the inhabitants."However, there's nothing to be concerned about.""My sins are numerous, but failing to protect my people
"Who will it be? We don't have all day, so make a decision quickly.""No one among you wants to endure further pain, right?" The white flames were dancing on their flesh even more fiercely when I snapped my finger."Argh!""Ahmmm!"The cyclops made a muffled noise as they chaotically rolled their bodies around the floor. I eventually noticed that their jaws had been shackled.The white flames quickly advanced to the chains and began to melt them; the melted links barely had time to burn their mouths before the white flame completely burned them off.Roland took a deep breath.'There's no chance I'd live if the young master used that flame on me.'The young lord's decision not to deploy that dreadful flame against him during their combat made him feel suddenly fortunate.The Cyclops, on the other hand, were astonished and temporarily forgot their misery. They suddenly became aware that their mouths were no longer restricted. They seized the chance to bite their tongues off as soon as p
Would it be better to use my poison or get some from Richard? This was a difficulty that I had encountered.Unlike other poisons, mine was unique. It wasn't pure poison, but rather poison combined with acid.It would then corrode everything it came in contact with, making it more difficult to use to set traps. The riches I could have taken from the enemy would also be destroyed.So, I pondered if the cost of purchasing the poison from Richard would be larger than the value of all the riches the adversaries would drop.I continued to advance. I spent a solid hour looking through a section of the Endless Forest where the Cyclops' tracks were thought to have been. My search even led me to the location of their makeshift camp, where mounts' tracks could be spotted.The fact that there was dark greyish fur on the ground indicated that these cyclops rode something other than horses.[The Great Wolf's Fur]"As I suspected.""I can no longer ride a horse." I fixed my gaze on the rugged scener
The Savage Catacombs.It was a disaster-rank dungeon found in the city of Duskfell. One of the most prominent underground dungeons that were accessible to the general public was this dungeon. It indicated that anyone looking to go on an adventure or work as a mercenary might do so.However, today the entire dungeon had been reserved.This was due to the fact that there was a special joint expedition taking place here.For the first time, heroes and the empire's brightest minds would work together to explore a dungeon.Gildar gazed at Anthony with a knowing grin.Anthony nodded as well.This combined mission designated four heroes in total.They were Dior, Anthony, Guila, and Gildar.Henry Floyd, Sia Celeste, Eliza Kraus, and Elia Royalise were on the side of the Brightwing Academy's geniuses.Henry stood behind the three lovely ladies who had been chosen beside him. He sensed the beginnings of a headache.The letter from the academy arrived while he was taking a break from a recent du
Dior and Guila exchanged glances before agreeing, "It's impossible. She doesn't even need the help of the demon, in my opinion, given her talent."All heroes are not created equal. There were unquestionably some who stood out more among the 34 students and one teacher who had achieved hero status.Kuro and Adelaine were the best examples.Kuro had a special ability known as sentient blades. Adelaine was his lone opponent among the heroes with those blades.And Adelaine, with her divine shield that can negate practically all damage, could be considered the strongest hero in the group.In contrast to the Divine Shield and Sentient Blades, the talents and skills that other heroes possessed appeared to be nothing extraordinary."Understandable. Therefore, our only targets are the remaining members of our class. They'd have to be convinced after seeing our accomplishments."A moment of silence followed."Perhaps we should talk to them about it? They seem to be on the level with us in terms
"They should have been regular goblins, if only." Sia let out a sigh.With the exception of their bright crimson armour on top of their bodies and the crimson-red blades and spears they possessed, these powerful goblin variations actually had the same appearance as regular goblins.These were the new things that evolution had bestowed upon them. One could question how they evolved to such a powerful variation capable of reaching A-rank power levels, given that practically many goblins can't even reach B-rank.Normal goblins, on the other hand, are only able to scream and run towards you while brandishing a stone dagger, and they frequently have no idea what they are doing. Possibly as a result of their increasing intellect when they first evolved, they would start to assemble in groups.They will establish a tribe once they undergo a second evolution, and the leader of that tribe will be responsible for all of the group's decisions.Goblins, on the other hand, don't change in appearan
"It appears that our friends have picked up on the scent of the meat," Anthony declared abruptly.All of them turned to face the outside of the camp."You picked up on their movement?" Gildar inquired."Yes. They have begun to advance gradually but surely."…The Savage CatacombsIn the first place, goblins had never been present in this dungeon.Out of nowhere, they showed up. There were only a few goblins at the beginning, and they were all commanded by a goblin chief. All of the goblins were red-skinned and armed with swords and pikes, which was unusual because goblins were not born with weapons.Because the initial goblin organizations were small and feeble, the adventuring and mercenary organizations of the time believed it to be normal. Despite their crimson skin and rudimentary weaponry, they were no more powerful than normal green goblins.They would typically be pursued by a group of intrepid individuals before they proliferated.After several years, the transformation occurr
