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
Beast KingdomThe kingdom eschewed towns and was instead based on tribes. 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. Every one of the missing women was born in the month of the dragon," I remarked."We actually tracked down the offen
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
