"Since you did so poorly against purely physical attack, I wonder how will you fare against a magical one?" By the time I said those words, nearly half of the monster's long-haired head managed to regenerate. At the same time, most of my companions was already standing up to their feet and grabbing their weapons. Yet, it was pretty obvious that if I were to wait for them to gather up and attack the maere, it would be way too late. So I pulled out one of the fancy stones prepared by Sander, pressed the…-

Maere. It wasn't a word I was familiar with. Yet, it didn't mean I wasn't scared by the thing that appeared in front of me. On the other hand, the fact that the local populace had not only a name, but a clear history with this something was a clear indicator that there was a reason to be worried about it. "What does it want?" Directing my question towards Arsha, I provoked her to turn her head towards me. Yet, rather than answering my question, she just allowed me to look at her terrified eyes. "Does it…

It took us just a few more hours after the storytelling concluded for the group to split apart. Yet, rather than just escaping from the wingless humans incapable of keeping up with me and Teria due to their lack of ability to fly, I actually talked things through with Longinus. As much as their presence could be helpful in the lands of the winged tribe, there was no denying that it would arouse suspicion and wariness as well. Just like Teria on my side resulted in an entire unit of exceptional mercenaries…

I didn't expect to notice the discrepancy between the story of the wingless tribe and what I saw in my vision so soon. Yet, it was already an undeniable fact that the story that one side learned about was simply fake. Like always, there were bits and tidbits of truth in it, but rather than serving to help me understand the situation better, they were there most likely just to make it easier for everyone to believe in the story in the first place. "It's not true at all." Muttering on the side, Teria proved…

"Well… That will depend on what your next destination is." For the first time since the imminent clash back at the outskirts in front of the town, Longinus placed his hand on the handle of his sword. And that alone was a great proof of how serious the youth was. "Right now, I'm out of clues. So I intend to go with Terita and see whether the place she wants to bring the sacred core to might be the place my mission will conclude as well." Putting a wide smile on my face, I explained. "In other words, I…

"The saint of the gods and men, Lady Ulena." That was the name that escaped from Longinus' mouth. From the sheer reverence in his eyes as he stared at the devastated altar it was clear that this name meant a lot to him. On the other hand, what was surprising, was that they were actually surprised. "You mean to say, that you didn't know this?" With the sacred core safely retrieved and hidden in my pouch, I could finally afford to pay a little bit more attention to the events surrounding me. "Well, it's…

"Wha…?" Taken aback, I took a few steps behind before the momentum of the sheer shock stalled my steps. It was the first time for the system to announce that a mission could have arcs! And what was with this added "extreme difficulty"? Did that mean that the mission in this world was on an easy mode so far? What would that mean for the possible rewards I would receive from it? "What happened?!" Noticing how startled I was, Teria instantly stepped forward a few paces, before a strange barrier halted her…

"I…" Hearing the open threat in my words, Longinus staggered a bit before regaining his footing. For a moment, rapid changes took place on his face before it finally stabilized on a look of defeat. "I understand. Arsha, stand down." "Yes, sir." Contrary to the man, the girl who previously attempted to attack me clearly had some troubles retracting her hostility. And I wasn't surprised by it at all. There was an undeniable fact that there was a huge hostility between wingless and winged humans. While I…

To say that we were hurried would only paint a part of the whole picture. Even though I had quite a few drinks already, it seemed that along with the growth of my cultivation, the resistance that my body offered to alcohol or any other kind of drug grew exponentially. As such, despite drinking as quickly as Teria did, I was the only one capable of walking straight when we moved out. "Are you really sure it's okay for us to enter in such a state?" Throwing a question to Longinus who also showed the signs…

My words put a dent in the man's confidence. And it wasn't only something I figured out would happen. From how the heavy armored man's eyes twitched from behind the slits of his helmet, I could tell that I hit the jackpot. "Sir, if I may ask, what seems to be your mission?" Backing off a single step, the man asked. "Didn't I already tell? I need to go to the main altar of the former cathedral and check one thing about it." Shaking my head to the sides before lowering it down, I muttered. "If you really…
