"What's going on with your mouth? I want to hear some garbage today, so just keep talking."I smirked wickedly.Jackal was on the verge of tears. While he ventured to plot in secret, he would never risk doing so in front of the young master, who was also an A-rank expert.What's more, when did the young master show up?When did he arrive?The only thing he could do was hope that the expert hadn't already heard everything. If the expert heard everything, his life could be deemed over.Nobody would have known if I hadn't spoken."Since someone has talked so much about me today, I feel pretty happy. Why don't you go on?" I uttered in a hushed tone.Thud!Jackal lost his ability to hold on. He crumpled to the ground as his legs appeared to be boneless. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but no words came out.In the face of actual might, no strategies or cunning words could matter, no matter how crafty he believed he was."He was just talking nonsense, Y-young master. He means no
"I came to reward you."I eventually said something after biting into the Cloud Peach.[Mana increased by 1]That certainly took me by surprise.Everyone's face lit up when they heard what I had to say."We have disappointed the young master, and such rewards are not due to us." Rui spoke quietly.Others sighed in agreement. It was true, they had a traitor among them for so long and had no idea."It's all right. I will not retract my statements." I spoke while pulling a scroll out of my sleeves."Divine Iron Body, a powerful skill that trains a person's body to incredible heights."Everyone's eyes glowed. They awaited the following words while they listened.I grinned."It belongs to the Ancient Rank!"Thud!Several elders passed out with excitement!"Y-Young Master, this is far too valuable!" Rui cried out. Her words indicated rejection, but in reality, she was pinching the scroll with her hands.Rui coughed softly when she saw her hand almost contact the scroll. "I apologise for my
Flames could be seen in everyone's eyes. The depths of their animosity towards the Azure Dragon Family had been reached. Although I didn't fully understand their stories, I was aware that they involved the mistreatment or murder of their family members or acquaintances at the hands of the Azure Dragon Family.They had to admit that in the situation, that was all they could do, even though it was a shock and seemed somewhat harsh that their lives would be used to buy time.The Azure Dragons were certain to send at least ten A-ranks to battle, while they had none.Initially, I had intended to exterminate the family on my own, but doing so would have prompted the empire to launch an investigation.I could be charged with killing evil people, but I could also be held responsible for the deaths of thousands of people. Alternatively, I could kill the count, but it wouldn't accomplish anything. He'd be replaced, and their atrocities would go on.Moreover, their offences lacked any observable
Rui was unfazed. She was massaging the attractive young man whose head was resting on her thighs as she sat inside the carriage, one hand holding a comb.She softly rubbed diligently and joyfully, notwithstanding the flush that flowed down her face. Surprisingly, when they were by themselves, this young master wasn't so terrifying. He spoke softly and kindly, never displaying the frigid aura that he generally emitted.Rui was only 18 years old. The young master appeared to be younger than she was, but he exuded a sense of maturity. Her attraction to him was unavoidable.When she peeked out the window, she noticed numerous figures on warhorses galloping alongside the carriage. They appeared to blend in with the shadows thanks to their body-encasing jet-black armour, which enveloped both them and the warhorse they were riding.Even still, the pressure she felt from each of them was more than the pressure she experienced from her ancestor, who was at the pinnacle of the B-rank.That coul
[Main Quest Revised][Assassination][The Host has assumed the identity of Duke Ignis's waste son, Ethan Ignis. As a result, the host is vulnerable to intruders lurking on the road you must traverse. The host must defeat the attackers and discover who is behind them.][Reward - Deathwing Angel hatch time is decreased by 50%]I frown as I examine the system notice.My pupils constricted slightly. I was pleasantly surprised by this notification, which also validated my first thoughts.If the issue was something that could be resolved quickly, the system would never give me the main quest.It had already been established that those plotting an attack on me were A-ranks. I couldn't figure out why they were assaulting me, which was confusing.According to the quest log, they were after Duke Ignis's son. There were some hints there, then.It was most likely that other candidates for Emperor would favour my death. The two princes and the three dukes.Luke Brightwing, one of the princes, is s
"Remember, your tower master just attained the S-rank after years of hard labour, whereas our master has been in the S-rank for years!" stated another warrior, mockingly."You…" Alfred clenched his fists. He held the magic staff in his palm, the tip of the staff glowing with a red light from inside the jewel. It was like a burning inferno within it, ready to erupt with a scary blazing flame at any time.But eventually, he began to cool down. He would make amends afterwards.The embarrassing incident that occurred months ago would not be forgotten by him. He was harassed by a warhorse in front of a crowd!It could be argued that for a mage like him, it was worse than death. That a common baron had dared to harm a mage like him made him sick to his stomach.Alfred had lived in opulence and nobility ever since it was discovered that he had the potential to become a mage.Even pure-blood nobles would not dare to offend him, but a commoner blood baron dared to disgrace him.He'd never forg
As I watched the carriage travel further into the dune, I collapsed onto a human pillow inside of it.The horses' hooves made a faint thud on the sand.Constantly moving ahead, the carriage drew nearer and nearer to the ravine under the assailants' eyes. Yet, the carriages continued to move forward as though they were on their usual route, seemingly unaware of any danger.The centaurs remained silent as they rode into the night. The shapes of many opponents were already visible in their eyes.All they had to do was wait for the opposition to act.The helmets they were wearing made it impossible to see their facial expressions. Only a small opening in the helmet, which displayed their eyes, and a breathing area around the nose were left.As they approached closer, they tightened their grip on their spears, ready to charge at any moment, or they could draw the sword and even the hammer from their belt and engage in a close battle.They had to take precautions to avoid upsetting the mona
"Don't play games with me, boss." As his eyes flared with lethal brilliance, the knight laughed.With regard to the baron and those two knights, his mask-covered eyes were filled with disdain and scorn. He had no idea that the two knights could harm him, despite the fact that they had materialised out of nowhere.His entire body suddenly burst into a roaring surge of a blazing blue aura. His pace accelerated rapidly. He appeared to avoid the two centaurs "with ease," demonstrating that he was even faster than a warhorse.Suddenly, he was reaching me from all angles.The knight's strategy was simple. To defeat an army, first, the commander must be defeated."Very fast." Amazed, I must say.The knight was a real A-rank knight with a great deal of combat experience, and he moved at an incredibly quick pace.He radiated a bluish aura that caused waves in the sand."Die! Trash!"The knight jumped to his feet and lunged at me with his sword.Despite this, his sword never reached its intende
