In the expedition camp, the activity is intense. A steady stream of patrols passes under the watchful eye of the captains. As preparations for the wave don't go as smoothly as the brass had expected, suppression of the monsters on this expedition has been challenging. Furthermore, the Royal family refused to send any more high ranking warriors for assistance under the guise of the safety of heroes.
Legionnaire Historia was concerned. The situation at hand consistently defied her experience and expectations, refusing to follow historical norms.
Historia was sent by Duke Ifrit to take charge of the situation at The Dungeon Crystal palace after the findings of clues to the greater dungeon. She was one of the 10 legionnaires under Duke Ifrit, nearly close to achieving the next military rank. The Empire sent Myrmidon Jean as their representative, but she refused to take charge because The Duke organised the expedition.
Throughout the day, squads left the camp and ent
Wha...what happened?Guide quest changed…? Didn't my previous guide quest involve killing wyverns? So what changed?The pain still lingers in my head after I absorb the core.Something really important seems to be slipping my mind.Surely if it is important I will remember it someday, now what shall I do with this quest?For any other quest, I would not have paid attention, but this quest has a penalty.A decrease of 10 levels. That is the same as two weeks of grinding elite levels monsters! And that is if there are enough monsters to hunt. I have to do the quest.Is there a time limit?[Time remaining: 7 days and 6 hours]My god, how long was I unconscious? I haven't got much time left.Wait...50 enemies, Legionnaire? My targets are humans?! How can that be?Do you expect me to take human lives without thinking it through? How am I expected to just look at it as nothing more than a normal act? Take
Amy awoke to the sound of thunder. It was already nightfall. Although the clouds above her head were coming together, there was no rain. She noticed that a blanket was covering her while she slept, wondering why. An orange glow emanated from the hut in the middle."Strange."She got up and walked towards the hut. A tall thin figure wearing an elegant dress caught her attention. She recognized it as one that was usually worn by royalty. The tail of the creature was wriggling out of the dress, and Amy recognized it as a merman as its back was turned towards her.Her fear awoke her and she pulled out the dagger. Standing before the doorway, she held the weapon in her hand without saying a word.The sea creature turned a burnt book over with its webbed hands while holding it and said, "I think I've finally found it... I guess it's unreadable now."Amy thought, "This one can talk!"He didn't seem surprised when he saw the girl as if he already kn
Clearly, there is a person behind that tree!As a result, I expected humans would be my target, but I hoped that was not the case. You guys are here for what? Aren't you able to just remain inside your cities peacefully?When I realize I am in such proximity to a human being, there is a certain feeling I get in my heart. The experience seems bizarre considering I myself was once a human.Humans have, however, been nothing but trouble in this life.Peering around slightly, I can see their clothing, which was similar but also different from the first human I saw.Are there factions among humans as well? With the amount of greed humans have, it is evident that no one can be satisfied with a single person taking all of the power.I almost lost my loot last time when they attacked me. Thankfully, I was able to escape only by being a better stealthy individual.To be quite honest, I might be starting to take it personally if I weren't such
In no time, we can catch up to the soldiers when they move cautiously, attempting to avoid the notice of the forest's thronging monster.From time to time, I see one of them looking up at the ceiling, possibly looking out for the aerial monsters that inhabit the dungeon.They knew what kind of monsters were in the wave. There were many more flying monsters on the second floor preparing for the wave as opposed to ground monsters.I'm crossing my fingers that the monsters ignore my presence when the waves start or just take me as an ally.The two soldiers move with practised ease through the area, avoiding pitfalls and reading the signs of monsters being nearby.Their level of knowledge is truly impressive. It seems as if they can see every monster located nearby even without having to actually see it. It doesn't matter whether they've been here for a long time or if they've memorized all the movements of the monsters, one thing for certain is I shou
As I waited for another hour, I decided that now would be a good time to investigate the human camp. The moment I encounter any human being, I will decide my next step.My movements are confined to shadows around the camp's edges, avoiding the more visible areas and weaving between the masses of land that surround it.In the darkness, I can see tunnels that branch out from the entrance, some of which are large and some small. When I approach one of them, I notice strange air wafting through.I wonder what lies at the bottom of these tunnels?Randomly, I chose a tunnel and moved forward in a slow but steady manner.With each step deeper, I can see that the tunnel is growing wider.To check for traps, I have already sent Ghost ahead of me, and he proved to be exactly the right choice.Since he has a high level of perception and stealth skills that are higher than mine, no one should be able to d
"Wake up, Amy!" You need to see this. Amy!" Kyla knocked on Amy's door.'KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK'"All right, I'm getting up. So please stop knocking." The voice came from the other side of the door.As the girl with messy hair and drowsy eyes opened the door, she was greeted by an excited Kyla who looked like a kid about to go to a candy shop."What happened? Why do you seem to be so happy? Leaning against the wall, Amy asked."It's already ten o'clock and you are still asleep. "Well, you stayed up all night last night at the party singing weird songs you said were from your world.""Haaah. Have you woken me up just to say that?""Oh, you bully! There is a much bigger reason for waking you up. Wash your face and get ready as soon as possible. This is an opportunity you will not want to miss."'What's Kyla talking about? Has the gold already arrived? As Amy brushed, she pondered.Once she is done
Jean sat heavily behind her desk. The desk resembled the man in many ways, being unadorned, robust, rough, and solid. The surface she worked upon was made up of transient woods she'd taken from a dungeon. Since she couldn't find a nail that would go through the stuff, she had to join the desk together. Her favourite part of the wood was its stubbornness and inflexibility.Her free hand reached inside the suit pocket, and she drew out a smooth crystal attached by a mana chain to her belt. As she placed her fingers on the crystal, she squinted when she needed two tries to get her slender fingers positioned properly before the crystal opened.Upon opening the crystal, Jean saw a bright glow spilling onto the desk and briefly shot light into her face as she stared hard at the contents, then snapped it shut before disintegrating it into dust.Then, opening a drawer, she took a piece of paper, her pen, and began to compose a letter."Argus,As mentioned
Jean asked, "Now tell me, soldier, how did that creature look?"Under the pressure of Jean, the male soldier hesitated."I thought the creature looked like a human... but with dark skin. Its claws were sharp. It resembled a dark elf... except its ear was not pointing upwards.I wonder. A creature with a similar appearance to a human, with high intelligence and strength, is it a new species?The soldier had described an existence that Jean vaguely remembered. Despite her best efforts, she was unable to recall its name.Although she felt as though she was forgetting something, she was unable to identify exactly what it was."What happened to the female legionnaire?" "Sigh..how did it attack her?""We chased the creature, exposing his position with the trace spell, but it suddenly stopped, we thought it was at a dead end, but it suddenly charged towards us""Its speed was unlike what we have ever seen before. It alread
