“My Lord.” “I told you that I didn’t want to be disturbed, Reginald. I hope for your sake that you have a good reason for this…” “My sincere apologies but the black ravens have sent an emergency report.” “An emergency? Could Julius be planning something? It can’t be Ivan so it should be, Tybalt?” “It’s from the Fauland region, My Lord.” “From that bastard? Did something happen to Emmerson? … Just give me the report.” “Yes, My Lord.” The butler…-

*Thud* “Were you there?” “No… is this person really a Knight Commander?” “He was, I’m not sure he will be commanding much anymore.” “That’s true.” A guard smirked while looking at the man that they shoved into a cold cell. They were standing near the iron door while listening to him grunting around. His body was covered in bruises but he didn’t seem to be in danger of losing his life. “Can we just leave him in there? What if he gets out, this door doesn't look…

“I surrender.” “Huh?” Roland had managed to overpower his enemy with the help of his Mana Overflow skill. With this skill, he was able to constantly restore his damaged armor while also being able to barrage Emmerson with multiple spells. Normal spells didn’t seem to work so he got a bit more creative with the shoulder-mounted cannons that he controlled with the help of his mana hand spell. It didn’t take long for him to finally overwhelm the Knight Commander from all sides. There were…

‘He took it?’ Roland’s hammer had just connected with Emmerson’s large oval shield. The force that was generated caused a little shockwave to spread in all directions. The sound his weapon made during the collision was a bit off. He intended to blow away the man’s shield and then follow it up with a blast to his face with one of his shoulder cannons. Instead, he just slid back a bit while lowering his center of gravity. ‘Those defensive skills are troublesome.’ He could feel the…

“Wayland did? Are you sure?” “Yes! Isn’t it interesting? Who would have thought that he was an actual Knight” “Yeah… who would have thought…” An elven woman dressed in the guild receptionist attire along with a large bald man were peeking out through the window. There they could see a barricade of soldiers in the distance blocking the way to the Valerian estate where Lord Arthur lived. Not so long ago they all heard the news that some trouble between the nobles were brewing.…

‘I gave a nice speech but now I need to actually do it…’ Not much time had passed since the knights invaded his home. First, it was thieves or bandits, then it was a murderous Lich and finally, he upgraded to the scariest of enemies, the nobles. All of them chose to attack his home where he just wanted to be left alone. If it wasn’t for all those people then he would have no use pursuing power. Roland never really was the adventurous type nor did he want fame or glory. Having a place to call…

“T-the Lieutenant… h-he killed him…” “What should we do?” The group of armored knights looked at the embedded head in the tree next to them. Just a moment ago their leader’s head went flying into it after getting punched. They could not process this feat as no one had expected this much resistance coming from this place. Their spy network had never failed them before and had been ill-informed about this man’s power. It was becoming clear to them that he was not just a simple tier 2…

How could this have happened? Why was Agni dying on the ground in a pool of his own blood and why were these knights here? These questions he was asking himself while looking down at his canine friend. He could not understand how a situation like this arose, there was no reason for a noble to attack his home. Roland was aware of all of Arthur’s brothers, Theodore Valerian included. It wasn’t strange for these men to arrive in this city, it was something that he actually expected. The thing that he…

“It’s a superior tier 2 magical beast, you know what you have to do. Move according to the strategy we discussed and there won’t be any problems!” The man in the most expensive-looking armor shouted out at the group of knights. A red wolf composed of a type of organic rubies just appeared from within the shop. Its growls were ferocious but the men that were gathered here weren’t fighting monsters for the first time. This was all something that they had gone through, the drills they performed…

“Thank you for your patronage and please come again.” “Will do!” A door opened with a bell sound as a rough-looking adventurer stepped through it. In his hand, he was holding a new magical longsword that he had been saving up for. With it in his hand he felt like the monsters on the deeper levels wouldn’t pose as much of a threat as before. While walking through the forest he quickly unwrapped it to examine it closer. The design was quite simple but the runic symbols on the blade and how…
