Chapter Index

    I don’t know when I started feeling popular.

    When I already noticed, I felt like he had been looking at me for a while.

    What I mean by that is that I intentionally clapped and gave a signal.

    They are not dark eaters.

    If he had been a colleague, he would have taken me by surprise rather than informing me of his identity.

    I shouted, throwing the broken sword in the direction of the applause.

    “Who is it!”

    Sigh.

    The broken sword flew through the air and shattered as it hit the wall.

    There was nothing I could do because I spent my durability near the limit while fighting the boss.

    I thought it was a waste.

    Without that sword, I can’t use Strike Attack, which is my only range technique.

    Strike Attack is a skill that can only be used with a one-handed or two-handed sword.

    It is a basic skill used by warriors, but it may be because it is a limited skill.

    For a skill that even beginners could use, it was powerful.

    So, even that huge octopus was able to be defeated.

    “Reveal your identity. Otherwise…”

    “If you don’t hold it. What are you going to do?”

    A voice coming from the shadows.

    I look around to find the owner of the voice.

    But, shadows are everywhere.

    The guy was nowhere to be seen.

    ‘It’s a big deal. ‘I don’t have time right now.’

    “Am I a colleague of the dead dark prey?”

    “You see me as being on the same level as that outlaw. I’m disappointed.”

    Then at least show your face!

    I wanted to scream.

    The person holding my lifeline right now is not me, but the guy hiding in the shadows.

    That couldn’t be possible.

    Pop..

    Cold sweat ran down my cheeks and onto the floor.

    “Mmm.. this sweetness. It’s delicious.”

    “Is it delicious?”

    What do you eat that makes that sound?

    For some reason, I felt like I was involved with someone I shouldn’t have been involved with.

    Let’s take one step back to run away right now.

    Shuuk-!

    Something sharp passes by my cheek.

    Even though I recorded all the remaining stats in the DEX, I couldn’t see the identity of the flying object.

    Are you saying that running away is impossible?

    I can understand it if I just say it, but is it really necessary to take risks like this?

    For a moment, I felt like my pants were getting wet.

    “Are you tired?”

    “No!”

    Damn.. I got caught up in it without even realizing it.

    I could never be seen as a 20-year-old with a problem with my pants.

    No matter who the opponent is.

    “I have what I want.”

    “Whatever you want. It does exist.”

    “What is that?”

    “I can’t say it now.”

    What does that mean?

    There’s something you want, but you can’t say it?

    “Then.. what should I do.. are you going to kill me?”

    “What are you talking about? You said there was something you wanted.”

    “….”

    Don’t kill me.

    You can’t run away either.

    But you can’t say what you want.

    What are you telling me to do?

    “Are you stopping me from going to the castle?”

    “What?”

    “Aren’t you trying to stop me from going to the castle?”

    I can’t hear anything.

    It looks like he hit the nail on the head.

    I saw an opportunity and thought of running away.

    Skills taken from the Dark Prey leader can only be used if the opponent is visible.

    There is only one skill I can use right now with no target in sight.

    Hwareuk..

    I created a small ball of fire around me.

    “Sorry, but it’s no use to me.”

    “I know that much!”

    I launched a fireball in all directions.

    The target wasn’t him from the beginning.

    bang!

    Grumble!

    I tried my best to put out the fire, but I had no idea that I would start it again.

    Fortunately, there was no sign of anyone around.

    Did he die from the darkness? Or maybe the fire started and everyone ran away.

    ‘Thanks to you, I can go on a rampage!’

    Grumbling!!

    The flames grow stronger and light appears around the area.

    ‘see!’

    The guy’s appearance looks slightly opaque.

    If it were in the dark, it would not be completely visible, but when there is light, like now, a slight imbalance occurs.

    It looks like he hasn’t noticed yet.

    In this moment, I picked up a dagger in my hand and threw it at the guy.

    It was a waste.

    Because I was throwing the only weapon I had at the moment towards the enemy.

    ‘As expected, I should have asked Rose to buy more weapons.’

    Regretting it didn’t change anything.

    I just had to do my best for now.

    A fast-flying dagger pierced the guy’s body.

    ‘Great! Now what he looks like…’

    It wasn’t visible.

    Clink-!

    There was only the sound of glass breaking and a small amount of smoke rising around the area.

    The identity was not revealed.

    It was clearly visible that he had been hit by the tip of a dagger.

    ‘There’s only one thing I can think of.’

    Mirror image.

    A skill that can be used by 4th wizards who can create an alter ego in a mirror.

    I felt a chill down my spine.

    Mirror images could be created from at least 10% to 80% of the powder capacity.

    I don’t know how powerful the mirror image I’ve just created is.

    ‘Even if you can’t do it… 30%… no, it could be less.’

    No matter how high the stats are compared to the level, there is a limit.

    For example, the limitations of skills.

    No matter how much I use the fireball, it doesn’t cause any damage to 3rd level occupations or higher.

    Even if I can somehow make it to the second round.

    The biggest problem was that the 4th wizard was here.

    A strong person with a minimum level of 200 or higher.

    No matter how strong Roselia is, she cannot win.

    “Ugh.. no.”

    Her death comes to mind.

    I quickly moved towards the castle.

    *

    Meanwhile, like Ryuk, who is running towards the castle, a woman is running quickly towards the guild.

    Bella’s face was as expressionless as usual.

    Those who know know.

    Bella’s expression is currently extremely stiff.

    There have already been three raids.

    Everyone had the same black clothes and black bandanas covering their entire bodies, making it impossible to determine their identity.

    The only thing that hides the other face is the mark on the hood.

    “Dark Prey..”

    I heard from my mother that the past was all wiped out.

    However, I was skeptical that it had reappeared 30 years later.

    As if someone had forced him to stand up.

    The timing was strange too.

    Bellona and Bella. Additionally, they didn’t attack Rosellnia when they left the city.

    They attacked me when I came back.

    ‘It looks like they were targeting us.’

    I feel impatient.

    My mother may not be the type of person who can be easily dealt with, but she is older now.

    Compared to the past, your skills in terms of physical strength and skills must have decreased significantly.

    I had to go back as quickly as possible.

    “Here! Here is the bloody witch!”

    “Everyone attack!”

    “Kill!”

    Fourth raid.

    Now I’m annoyed.

    Instead of having a wand in his hand, he clenched his fist.

    “You should be out of magic by now!”

    “Opportunity!”

    “Sorry, but you don’t have a chance!”

    Bella clenched her hands as if grasping the air.

    Fuwaaagh!

    Blue water spurting out violently from the hand.

    Water does not fall to the floor, but hovers in the air, taking shape.

    “Water Slider.”

    Completed weapon.

    Although it looked like ordinary water, the water I held in my hand was moving at high speed.

    “Ha!”

    Bella waved her hand widely.

    The water slider, which was greatly curved due to gravity, ground everything it touched into the water.

    It was on a different level from weapons that cut or tear.

    It was replaced with high-pressure water and erased without a trace.

    “Kwaaaa!!”

    “ too, run away!”

    “You can’t run away.”

    The dark prey were already within Bella’s range.

    I had no intention of missing a single one.

    He continued to swing the water slider, splitting the bodies of the dark prey into dozens of pieces.

    The water that was splashing around while using it turned red due to the blood of the guys.

    Corpses spread everywhere and a woman soaked in blood standing over them.

    She was truly a bloody witch.

    “I don’t think there are anymore.”

    Bella defeated another attack and headed to the guild.

    The guild door we arrived at was already broken.

    Employees were seen lying bleeding near the guild.

    Some employees were dead, but others were holding on to their lives.

    I reached out for a simple treatment.

    The employee said, pushing Bella’s hand away.

    “Bella.. now. Inside the guild… the adventurer… that guy. It’s dangerous…so hurry…go help…”

    “You..”

    “I’m fine… Come on!”

    The employee said there was work to be done now and told me not to be confused about priorities.

    Master also said that.

    You shouldn’t be confused about what needs to be done first and what needs to be postponed until later.

    Even in the dungeon, Bella should have defeated the Devil Monkeys first.

    Master would have dealt with the boss faster.

    “I understand. Well then… I’ll come quickly so you should wait here.”

    I went inside through the broken guild door.

    The inside was already damaged, and there wasn’t a single object that could be thrown.

    “Mother!”

    No matter how much I looked inside, I couldn’t see my mother.

    The enemy’s appearance was also the same.

    That’s when I was about to go inside and find my mother.

    Rustling…

    The wreckage moves little by little.

    Bella approached slowly, wary.

    Making a water slider in his hand.

    Rustle… rustle…

    The movement becomes a little more intense.

    It looks like it’s about to pop out soon.

    Bella positioned herself to counterattack immediately.

    “Paha! I thought I was going to die… . Tsk tsk tsk… . Mr. A. Piece of wood.”

    Bellona, who had a strange foreign substance in her mouth, came out and spat on the floor.

    “Mother, are you okay?”

    “Huh? Bella. Why are you here? I’m fine. Who am I?”

    He pounded his chest loudly to show that he was still alive and well.

    Bella frowned at her mother’s appearance.

    The extremities were fine.

    That’s it.

    Wounds all over the body and blood stains diagonally on the face.

    There were no clothes left either.

    Bella quickly took off the cloak she was wearing and draped it over her mother’s shoulders.

    “Thank you.”

    “No. Anything less than that…”

    “Enemy? iced coffee. That bastard would be stretched out there.”

    My gaze went to the place my mother pointed to.

    The image of the enemy lying there.

    Bella may still be alive, so I approached cautiously.

    And when he faced the enemy, he was surprised.

    “This, this!”
