"Young Master?" Jacob addressed respectfully."I'm sorry. For a brief moment, I was lost in thought. Please continue." I shrugged off those unsettling ideas and shook my head."You have changed significantly, Young Master, so pardon this old man's comments." The sound of the carts rattling as they traversed the ruddy road served as background noise."How should I phrase it?" The young master appeared more composed and at peace after arriving in this city. The young master was back at home..."An absolute demon.Jacob was reluctant to speak the words out loud."Is that so? Perhaps all I want to do is get away from that family." I just shrugged. From my system's storage, I routinely removed a piece of food.The food was dried meat."Would you like some?" I made an effort to downplay the situation by claiming that having dimensional storage was insignificant.However, Jacob's eyes were wide open."This old man, uh, is still full. But, please accept my gratitude, young master."I fixed m
"We didn't pack enough food. There were wild boars and even wolves in the forest, which would suffice. Hunting them ought to be possible." I explained.Gordon cocked his chin to one side. "You mean, Young Master?""Yes, we're going hunting."I stood up, ignoring the people's stares. "I am not responsible for the people of the village. I am not, however, a demon. I can't just leave them to die."I yelled. "All guards, disperse and scour the forest for food, kill any animals you see. We'll go to the village and aid the dying villagers.""You have an order."Despite their apparent reluctance, the guards began to spread out while carrying their weapons. I said, "You lads are helping too," as I turned to face the group of villagers. "Go assist my guards after you've finished eating. In this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch."The kids grinned and nodded while clenching their fists.I then addressed Jack, their leader, who was a young boy. "Give me directions to the village."…
The kids gave us instructions, and we followed them. Even though this forest was not very large, it was still a forest, and we had travelled for thirty minutes.So, moving through it was more difficult than walking along a road.Because they believed they were going to die, the guards' and Jacob's faces became quite pale. After all, the basilisk was a powerful creature that they had no chance of ever defeating.I also did not underestimate the basilisk. Since it wasn't a straightforward imp or orc. The legendary dragon bloodline was still present in the creature.Despite having the ability to petrify people, the basilisk's eyes couldn't affect me because of my legendary passive.Considering that I am a master of poison, even though I don't use it frequently because it feels so icky, the poison was also nothing I needed to be concerned about.When compared to using a sword or a spell, poisoning foes didn't provide the same level of satisfaction.There is a distinction to be made betwee
The guards immediately stood in front of me and drew their weapons when they noticed the enormous beast.The fact that they didn't simply flee in panic shocked me quite a bit. They opted to offer their lives instead to defend me.Was it because they admired the Duke or because they admired me?"Young Master! Please leave!" Gordon implored. Two of the maids began tugging on my garments, attempting to pull me back.The two maidens were my age, and they had been designated to be this body's concubine from the minute they were born. They were already being groomed to become the ladies of the body I was using from the minute they could comprehend how the world worked.Their antics made me feel uneasy, but they were adorable.I am not 15 years old, and that is the only drawback. My conscience would forbid me from interacting with these two maids before they turned 18 years old, even if doing so was lawful in this world."My thoughts are elsewhere."[Calm Down]"Hooah," I exhale deeply, wond
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
