“What are you doing? Stop playing around Wench!” “You’re one to talk, your ‘army’ of undead is being very useful~” “Fool! Just watch!” The cultists did not appear to be fazed by the confrontation with the defenders. Even as their most potent member was being pushed back by the Guild Master and their undead forces were being vanquished, their confidence remained intact. Roland wasn't certain whether it was false bravado or if they truly possessed greater power, but he knew he had…-

“Huh? What is happening?” “Are you awake? Good as you can see your lordship, we have a small situation here. Remember those cultists we spoke about? Yeah, they are now here.” Roland shouted, pointing towards the group of undead monsters surging through the breach in the wall. Arthur was visibly perplexed by the situation, but Mary swiftly assisted him, simultaneously withdrawing a set of runic daggers she had concealed in her dress. Meanwhile, on the other side, the cultists had successfully…

A few moments before the automated defenses were triggered, Roland navigated his way through the underground workshop. Utilizing his mapping device, he pinpointed the exact locations where each of the guests had fallen unconscious. As he expected, they had all been affected by the relic, rendering them unconscious. To rouse them from this dreamlike state, he needed to approach them and place his helmet over their heads. Only by aligning the wake-up signal to their mana wavelength could the device…

“Stop!” A voice echoed in the darkness as a group of cloaked figures approached the vicinity of the craftsman's territory. The group had gathered here to capture and erase anyone involved in the recent event involving their relic. Leading the charge was Kovak, and as he removed the shroud concealing their presence, the others were also revealed. First, there was a large man, his entire body concealed by a black robe. His size and form constantly shifted as he approached the wall before them, as…

"R-Roland dear? W-what are you doing? It hurts..." "..." Roland clutched his newlywed wife by the neck and continued to exert pressure. Although the sound of her pleading voice sent shivers down his spine, he understood that this was not Elodia. Thanks to his debugging skill and his Eyes of Truth, he could see through the illusion. This entity was nothing more than the spell he had been studying for the past few months, and he found himself ensnared within the occult obelisk's illusion. 'How did…

Roland and Elodia walked down the aisle together, their steps slow and deliberate, as they absorbed the solemn atmosphere of the church. The hymns reverberated through the grand hall, creating an almost ethereal ambiance. As they reached the altar, they turned to face each other, their eyes locked in a moment of deep connection. Sister Kassia stepped forward, her voice echoing through the hallowed space of the Solarian Church. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of the divine…

“Hey boss, how about we install one of those runic flame things, what did you call it?” “The runic flamethrower?” “Aye, that was it?” “I guess a worker could use that as an impromptu welding tool… but you just want to have something to shoot the targets with, don’t you?” “Haha, you got me boss.” Roland and his assistant, Bernir, were hard at work in the workshop, tirelessly refining the exoskeleton prototype. Bernir had grown quite fond of this invention, as it…

Armand finished securing the gauntlets onto his forearms with a satisfied expression. He flexed his fingers experimentally and noticed how they moved fluidly within the unique design of the gauntlets. It was clear that Roland had put a lot of thought into the creation of these specialized weapons. "These are amazing, Wayland. I can feel the power!” The man thrust both of his fists into the air, infusing his mana into the pair of weapons. The runes started to emit a crimson glow, mirroring the…

"It's coming along nicely." "That it is," Bernir agreed. "Feeling a bit weak in the knees, boss?" Roland hesitated for a moment before admitting “I... yeah." "No need to hide it," Bernir laughed while looking at Roland. Both of them shared a laugh as they stood outside the house, gazing at the new construction site. The foundation for the new dormitory was making good progress. It wouldn't be long before the structure was completed, and within a month or even a few weeks, the children…

"I see that the new training method is leading to some good results.” “Oh? Did you peek? You should stop doing that… but yes, that was quite the ingenious idea, even Mary can’t complain if I do it like this.” “GRuhhh…” “Though, I don’t think that our undead friend here is too happy about his predicament.” Arthur shifted his rapier towards a particular bony figure. As the blade's tip drew near to connecting with the creature's head, it surged forward. However, it didn't…
