As the children yelled, the villagers disregarded them and immediately began firing.As it began to flee, arrows shot out from the village, striking the bloody serpent several times. The sapilisk had broken scales, and the arrows, which had been useless before, had now pierced through.Despite their bony bodies, they shot arrows at the serpent one after the other. With their skeleton frames, they resembled dead men walking, but their eyes burned with fierce rage towards the gigantic creature.The sapilisk slithered into the woodland, disappearing into the shadows, with one shrieking hiss."It's seriously injured!" One of the locals yelled, "Chase it!"Everyone, follow me to the serpent's lair!"The villagers began streaming out of the breached wall, all armed with bows and quivers. They were all panting, as though even moving was painful."If you go after it, all of you will die," I spoke up at that point."The basilisk only constructs a lair after it has found a mate. It can be infer
"Evan Slayer, Luke Brightwing, Eliza Kraus, and Marcus Dion. I want these four dead before the end of the year.""And what about Gislain?" The leader inquired.Duke Miel sighed and drummed his fingers against the table a few times. When a person's strength reaches a certain level, plots and traps become obsolete."Forget about it. He is currently too risky to target. If we kill him successfully, I'm sure that Ifrit bastard would begin a full-scale battle against our family.""I'm not afraid of him, but now isn't the time to be. I will undoubtedly repay that man for ditching my plan. As well as the royal family. As retaliation for the murder of my oldest son, I will massacre every single one of them!"The violent aura was so intense that it caused the room to tremble.As sweat trickled from their brows, the Noble Shadows shivered. The pressure almost caused a crack in the mask that covered their faces.Despite having slain hundreds of people, they did not have a murderous intent even c
The village elder was standing at the edge of the door when I gave him a quick glance."After they are done, instruct the shaman and Aldo to leave the herbs at the entrance. Any interruptions are not welcome."The village head nodded vigorously. "I understand, Young Master."I spun around to face Roland."I'm wondering how much of my life I'm going to lose. I'm conducting this experiment to see how much life span I might sacrifice the next time I invoke God's Hand."In order to minimize the suffering Roland would experience, I focused mana onto my finger before pushing it in his direction. My mana flooded into his mana channels, and he began to breathe a little more frequently.A groan came from Roland's mouth as he winced. I used healing magic to mend the obvious wounds and gradually repaired the fractured bones.I would slather a lump of crushed herbs on a healed wound to act as a sedative as soon as it was possible.Roland gasped in pain, his entire body twitching briefly, and his
The village head looked at the young aristocrat.'Having such skills at such a young age...' even though the Village head had spent most of his childhood in the village, he was not naive to the empire's strength."He is unquestionably at B-rank and at the pinnacle." The village chief mumbled.When one of the villagers heard it, he was astonished.He also noticed the aristocrat. He'd heard about it before; the young guy appeared to be the ruler of a city in the north. Surprisingly, unlike most lords, this young man is not pompous nor pretentious.Nonetheless, the young man radiated an air that drew everyone's attention to him.He didn't behave like the many nobility who would only speak and accomplish nothing."Ethan Slayer…" The village chief hummed. "Slayer. Could it be a member of that clan?"The Slayers were not well-known in the north. But it was a different story for the mighty Ifrit family, and the Slayers were a vessel of the Ifrit family. Even the isolated village they lived i
The city of VermillionThe merchant guild master, Richard The Noble, scanned through the documents he gripped in his hands. He came to a stop and sat down, his weight causing the chair to squeak.Despite his moniker, he has no noble qualities. He would undoubtedly broaden people's interpretation of the term "fat." Another factor contributing to his weight gain was the manner he kept a variety of snacks and meals spread out on his table.A second reason Richard The Noble chose his name was that, in this life, he would never be able to become a noble without making significant contributions to the empire.As a trader, he had no method of helping the empire because of their stingy outlook that only saw their own interests."I've heard that it's difficult for you men to hold the fort." As he talked, the biscuit chips started to fly out. "And you expect me to supply additional weapons and rations?" He laughed and sipped wine from the cup.The mercenary guild delegate grimaced at the obviou

Richard the Noble paused for a while to consider his options.If he didn't have an appointment, he wouldn't bother meeting with a common nobility, but something inside of him was yelling for him to find out why the person was there.As a trader, his instincts told him there might be a huge discovery. Furthermore, the noble's identity was rather ambiguous.Richard stood there, thinking. "Bring him to the third floor," he finally decided."As you desire!" said the servant, relieved. He didn't want to turn down the individual who had come today.In an effort to seem menacing, Richard adjusted his stance after the servant departed to make himself appear 1 centimetre higher.He rose up and glanced in the mirror, which couldn't even display half of his physique because his stomach covered most of it. He proceeded up the steps, accompanied by two guards, and entered a large chamber.He would have had a heart attack just trying to ascend the stairs if he wasn't a C-rank warrior.A young man i
Ignoring the rodents that were creeping around me, I considered a larger issue.The Beast Kingdom, which had been dormant for decades, grew increasingly active and often invaded the empire's frontiers.Especially along the border, where my city was located.The Beast Kingdom's history predates the Brightwing Empire, hence there should be records of it."Where shall we go, Young Master?" Jacob inquired. All this time, they had been waiting for me outside the Merchants Guild."Let us return to the inn. Following this, I have to go someplace.""OK," Jacob said, leading the way.A small group of guards followed me, but the majority accompanied the villagers on their trip.I reached into my pockets and pulled out a pouch. "Here." One of the guards nearly failed to grab it when I threw it at him."That's some spending money. Go out and explore the city after you've secured the inn. This city is well-known for its brothels. Have a good time."The guards exchanged glances. Nobody could have p
