One of the killers yelled in a hushed voice, "Answer me!"

The assassin remarked in shame, "At your level, there should be no need for you to lie!

He assumed Dray was mocking them out of boredom.

"Seriously?"

Dray sighed, shaking his head.

No one believes the truth nowadays, unfortunately. It was quite challenging. Monsters, on the other hand, do not lie, although humans are extremely deceiving and cunning.

It was disgraceful for someone like him, who preferred to communicate with an axe and a fist, to use words to deceive or dupe adversaries.

Humans lacked the most fundamental form of trust.

"I'm keeping watch over this city. You cannot storm in. I can act as if nothing happened tonight if you leave right now."

Dray didn't elaborate more and talked in a lighter tone. He'd uttered this statement four or five times this week.

Wise had advised them not to kill on the spur of the moment and to let the invaders leave if they posed no threat. And Dray could see that these two killers posed

Several tribes would reign over their own territories.Maruk, the Cyclops tribe's leader and a cyclops beastmen, furrowed his eyebrow as he read the battlefield briefings. His huge eye, which spanned half of his head, was quivering with rage."Martin!" He cursed, causing the entire hall to shake. His subordinates trembled and averted their gaze.Martin, the Mercenary Guild Master, had probably stopped the beastman's progress on the First Fort for the fourth time.As the commander of the cyclops tribe tasked by the Beast Queen with taking over the First Fort, Maruk bore the brunt of the blame.He even got a warning from a Beast Guardian, who said he would lose his position as the Cyclops Tribe's leader if he didn't succeed in taking the First Fort.He barely had six months.On the outskirts of the Brightwing Empire, there sat a little castle called First Fort. Taking it over would not draw the Empire's notice and

    Aldo and all of the villagers eventually reached their goal after navigating the woods. The trip should only take a week by cart in a regular situation. With so many malnourished people on their side, they had no alternative but to proceed slowly, carefully feeding the locals to help them regain their strength.Fortunately, the young lord had provided them with enough meat and provisions to get them through the trip."That's Ice Demon City." Aldo said. They could see the various residences that appeared to be recently constructed in all directions from where they were standing. There were no actual walls, and just two sides of the entire city were fortified.It appeared like there had never been a monster attack there because they could not even make out any watchtowers.The locals couldn't understand how the city could have such weak fortifications when it was surrounded by such a vast forest.Were they not afraid about monsters attacking?If the villagers discovered that monsters ma

    "The baron and Baron Ethan had departed for Vermillion City to conduct the sale of the diamonds, Madame. They'll be back soon." Wise responded politely. The only other person with whom he would converse in this manner was his master's mother.Lise grumbled. "After becoming a baron, he became quite busy. I may have been better off letting him remain in the capital." She hadn't seen her son in a long time.They only ever got together for lunch and supper.Lisa may realize how much effort her kid was putting in to spend time with her if she knew he had to change bodies every time he ate lunch and supper."My kid is already engaged to be married. Little Wise, did his fiancee send him any letters informing him of her expected arrival date?"Lisa was already dreaming about a swarm of toddlers, six boys and six girls—circling her and calling her grandmother. When she thought about it, her cheeks flushed and brightened.Wise, on the other hand, could discern that whatever the madam was thinki

    "S-Sir Mason..." One of the workers made an attempt to beg but was met with a scary gaze instead."You people fighting about such trivial things, I find it incomprehensible.""But the houses were erected by us—""With the money of the young master!" growled Mason. Mason's wrath was unprecedented among the labourers. They shook under his ferocious look.They were unaware that Mason was staking his wager that the Young Master would raise Ice Demon City to new heights.Even though he was aware of how challenging it would be, he had already been persuaded by some of the young master's abilities. He expected several difficulties on the way, but he didn't anticipate the first to be the people who live within the city!That completely infuriated him."You all put a lot of effort into building it, but ultimately, the Young Master still rules over the entire city! It belongs to him! Despite your inexperience as a worker, he simply provided you with all the jobs because he wanted you to have a

    Raven's gaze was drawn to the guy in front of him. He hadn't even attempted to speak when he felt a burn on his right temple.He was horrified to find that the individual on the bed have not yet budged in the slightest.Extremely difficult!Is this man actually a ghost?There was nobody else in the room when he looked around.His face received yet another blow. The slap's force was so great that it caused him to crash against the tavern's entrance.His nose was bleeding, and blood was oozing from his lips.Nonetheless, he rose to his feet and stared menacingly at the guy on the bed."Fuck it!" Raven let out a yell. He began to summon his powers. On each of his palms, a little magical circle blazed, with runes strewn around.Flames exploded from his palms and coated his entire body as the spell was activated.I observed as the invader transformed into some kind of burning man. It was particularly amusing."If you do that, my room will catch fire. And I don't want anybody to notice, so

    Every single person that vanished shared the same birth month!The world's calendar was weird. I don't even know the names of all the 12 months. But I am aware that every single person who has gone missing was born in the month of the dragon..There were certain stories to the effect that anybody born during the dragon's month would have a very little portion of dragon blood. Of course, the different academies and magical towers have since revealed all of it to be false."There's an issue."My unfathomable understanding informs me that some evil clan or cult is hatching some nefarious plots."Master."Wise phoned at that precise moment."Have you discovered anything?""Yes, we have.""Tell me.""The Red Light City has been running under the pretext of a brothel city all these years to gather ladies with some specific qualities.""I, too, have arrived at that conclusion.

    I prefer to accomplish things on my own.I've been doing things this way since I first came to this planet. I started to quit doing everything by myself only after receiving my summons.Furthermore, it saved time.However, for the most critical matters, I would handle them myself. They were still monsters, regardless of how adept my summons was, and they had little knowledge of how human minds function.The Azure Dragons had three underground bases.It so happened that the person whose memory I stole had visited the covert facility where all the women who were born during the month of the dragon were taken and imprisoned.It was all by chance and coincidence.I discovered the precise location of the base, the defences put in place there, and the personnel watching it through the person's memories.Niara had just been taken away from her family for a day. The likelihood that nothing had yet occurred to her was still quite high. Perhaps she is unaware that she has been abducted by an un

    The old man with white hair had shown up.[Zarok Azure Dragon - A-rank, 3rd circle]I only had to take one look at him to assess him, and his strength matched the memories. The third circle seems to have been the old man's prison for a very long time.Zarok, an A-rank fighter who belonged to the Azure Dragon family's older generation, served as the base's administrator.The old man's face was outraged as he fastened his gaze on me, his eyes glistened with violent intentions."A rat dares to come here!"The air echoed with a voice that was a little raspy. Zarok unleashed a strike out of nowhere, his form quickly shifting. He travelled several meters in less time than it took me to take a breath before he was in front of me."The Fist of the Golden Dragon!" He roared.He didn't employ a skill, but rather a technique. Mages utilize spells with their mana, whereas warriors or knights employ techniques with their mana.The majority of the time, the method employed by knights or warriors ar

    "Hey! Why should we listen to a brat like you?" The interjection came from the back of the crowd, a young soldier, his face flushed with anger, his eyes blazing with defiance. The rest of the soldiers turned to stare, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and apprehension.A genuine smile spread across my face. Finally, someone had the audacity to speak up. A flicker of satisfaction ignited within me. This was exactly what I had been hoping for, wasn't it? Didn't this feel like the natural order of things?I had anticipated this moment from the very beginning. There was no way these esteemed scions of nobility and battle-hardened knights would meekly submit to the commands of a mere child. The moment I was elected commander of one of the three mighty armies, I knew this tension would inevitably arise. After all, who among these talented warriors would willingly follow a teenager with little to boast of in terms of accomplishments? And let's not forget the shadow of my less-than-st

  • Demon's Evolution   Doubt In the Commander

    Ladia couldn't help but castigate herself for her lapse in judgment. How had she not seen it before? If the involvement of the magic towers would significantly aid the Empire, then the impact of the very person who had defeated the magicians of the tower participating would be monumental.The princess's heart thrummed with the realization, chiding herself for taking so long to come to this epiphany. Was Ethan's proposal the correct course of action or not? She no longer dwelled on the question.With a steely gaze, Ladia announced, "I have reached a verdict."The room fell silent as all eyes turned to the princess. The final decision lay in her hands, and she was ready to reveal it. The anticipation hung heavy in the air, and Ladia took a deep breath before continuing. "I have decided to accept Ethan's proposal."A murmur of surprise rippled through the room, but Ladia held up her hand for silence. "I believe that Ethan's plan, with a few modifications, is the best course of action for

    My suggestion ignited a firestorm of debate among the upper echelons of the capital. The princess convened her officials in the grand throne room, where the air was thick with tension and uncertainty as they deliberated their next course of action. Ultimately, the march toward the City of Aran was postponed by a full day, a delay that weighed heavily on everyone present. The officials found themselves divided, caught between two stark choices: should they attempt to reclaim the nearby City of Aran from the Beast Kingdom, or should they focus their efforts on retaking the more strategically significant City of Northfall?"But, Your Majesty," one of the officials interjected, his voice rising above the murmurs of the assembly, "as we stand now, we cannot afford to risk an attack on the Northfall Fortress! I have heard reports that the beastmen have fortified their walls and laid even more traps to ensnare us! If we allow this farce to continue, we will be nothing more than lambs led to

  • Demon's Evolution   Indecisive

    A chill snaked down Ryle's spine. Ethan's suggestion hung in the air, heavy and suffocating, like a shroud woven from despair. To attack City of Aran, a fortress city now bristling with tens of thousands of Beast Kingdom soldiers, felt like a declaration of utter annihilation. Even Lance, their most valiant commander, had fallen captive within its walls.Ryle's brow creased into a deep furrow. He, too, was a commander of the Initiation Army, a man who had tasted the bitterness of defeat and the sting of loss. He couldn't fathom how Ethan, this newly appointed leader, could so blithely propose a course of action that reeked of self-destruction."I cannot, in good conscience, agree with your plan," Ryle stated, his voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and frustration. "As we stand now, attacking Northfall City is a fool's errand, a suicide mission. We are scattered, depleted, and outmatched. We must first rally our remaining forces, regroup along the borders, and then, and only then,

    "Ryle Green, step forward!" the Royal advisor said, seeing Ryle was in a daze.Ryle coughed and stepped forward, his heart pounding with excitement as he knelt before the Princess."Ryle Green, you are hereby granted authority over fifty thousand soldiers," the Princess said, her voice like a melody that soothed the soul. "You shall be the commander of the Vanguard Army!"With a snap of her fingers, the Princess bestowed an insignia upon Ryle's shoulder, its glow of light like a beacon of hope in the face of the looming threat of the Beast Kingdom."I will crush those beastmen for you, Your Highness!" Ryle said, his voice filled with determination and resolve.The Princess smiled, her eyes filled with pride and hope. "We have faith in you, Ryle," she said. "Together, we will defeat the Beast Kingdom and restore peace to our lands."Princess Ladia nodded, a hint of a smile playing on her lips. "I expect a lot from the younger generation, Ryle," she said, her voice laced with both encou

  • Demon's Evolution   The Chosen Commanders

    The Dwarven Kingdom, a land renowned for its glittering wealth, held its breath. The Brightwing Empire’s meager offer, a desperate plea for aid, was all they had to entice the notoriously hard-drinking mercenaries. Even if their weapons were outdated, their reputation for unmatched effectiveness in battle preceded them. Surely, that would be enough.“Your Majesty,” a guard murmured, his voice barely a tremor in the air. “They have arrived.”Princess Ladia, lost in a labyrinth of thought, startled slightly. She had wrestled with the decision for what felt like an eternity, but finally, a solution had emerged. All that remained was to face them, to meet their gaze and offer her hand in this desperate alliance.Viscount Lamiel, a man whose arrogance was only surpassed by his thirst for gold, strode into the royal garden, flanked by a legion of equally boisterous mercenaries. Princess Ladia recognized most of them – the nobles summoned by the crown, their faces etched with a mixture of g

  • Demon's Evolution   Who will be the Commanders?

    The scene unfolded with brutal efficiency. Several soldiers, their faces grim and resolute, descended upon Drew and the other soldier, their movements swift and decisive. There was no struggle, no desperate pleas for mercy. They walked away with heads bowed, accepting their fate with a stoic silence that spoke volumes of their resignation.Ryle, his expression a mixture of weariness and amusement, ran a hand through his hair, a sigh escaping his lips. "What a waste of a perfectly good sleep," he muttered, his voice laced with a hint of exasperation. "Young men like myself need our rest, yet everyone seems determined to disrupt my slumber over such trivial matters."His gaze shifted to me, and a playful smile curved his lips. "Allow me to introduce myself," he said, extending a hand towards me. "Ryle Green, third son of Count Green, and as you might be able to tell, the future commander of this very army." He spoke with an air of unwavering confidence, his words carrying the weight of

  • Demon's Evolution   Green Family

    Two soldiers from a rival camp, their boots crunching on the gravel path, happened upon the conversation. One soldier, his face contorting with barely suppressed mirth, clamped a hand over his mouth, desperately trying to stifle a chuckle. His companion, sensing the impending eruption, jabbed him in the ribs with an elbow, a silent plea for decorum. But the laughter, like a trapped spring, was too powerful to contain. Tears welled in the soldier's eyes, threatening to spill over as his shoulders shook with silent mirth. Finally, with a strangled cry, he burst into a full-blown guffaw. "Hahahaha! If it's the Young Master leading us! Hahaha! We'll be able to… Pft! Hahaha!"The sound of his uncontrolled laughter echoed through the camp, drawing curious glances from nearby soldiers. Gaston, his face a mask of confusion and irritation, turned to the source of the amusement. "Excuse me, but what's so funny?" he demanded, his voice laced with displeasure.The soldier, still gasping for br

    The unyielding army of the Ice Demon City had been journeying for a considerable number of weeks, traversing a multitude of cities and towns along the way. During our sojourns, we would occasionally restock our supplies, find respite in taverns, and often in the great outdoors, before resuming our arduous trek.Given the unfortunate circumstances, we were informed that the Ice Demon City was the most distant of all cities from the capital. This reality meant that we were among the last to receive the urgent message, compelling us to join the ranks of the other nobles and their armies in the capital.It was in the fourth week of our relentless march that we finally arrived in the grand and magnificent Capital city. The journey had been long and arduous, but our determination never wavered, as we knew our presence was required in these critical times. I had already surmised that the majority of the other nobles and their forces would have already amassed in the capital, readying themse
