Arthur's current mentality was that of a goblin's chief. It was a side-effect of the skill Goblin's Bond, as it went two ways. Of course, he could have decided to leave the goblins to their demise but it would have left a bitter taste in his mouth. Another reason was that he realized the goblins village would be attacked if it was found, and Kira was still there. He had to get to the village and hide it before they were found. As he felt the dagger tear through the back of the man's back, Arthur…-

Since the house was surrounded by an illusion, any outsiders would only see a batch of trees in its place. The illusion would also deter away attention in its direction to ward off any unwanted visitors. That's the reason why animals and monsters couldn't disturb it with their aimless wandering. Arthur opened the window and looked outside. It was eerily quiet. However, flying figures could be seen now and then. Arthur looked at them and realized they were the silver-masked cloaks of the royal family.…

The back Amelia was looking at was nothing like the one she followed yesterday. Even still, she felt they belonged to the same person. Shame burned on her face for not only following him but also getting captured in the process. She was not only a sneaky rat but a very dumb one that would bring plague with it. "Ugh," The man groaned and clutched his chest. Amelia looked at him worryingly and saw him wipe the blood off the corner of his mouth. It was then that Amelia realized he was getting slower.…

"I see," The killing intent disappeared and the man simply sighed. "It seems Dimon has failed. Kill him and retrieve the egg." He casually instructed. Arthur gritted his teeth as his Earth Manipulation skill. There wasn't enough time before he collapsed and he needed to use the weather to his advantage. It seems the unstable mana here has caused the change in the wind as their robes were fluttering. Using his skill to soften the soil then move it, Arthur created a dust cloud that hindered everyone's…

To say Arthur felt no hatred would be a lie. If anyone was put through such a nightmare, they would resent whoever did to death. Arthur was no exception, and he was certainly more head-strong when it came back to paying his debts due. Instinctively, he used the Release rune making his body disappear from Dimon's view. When the mage saw this, he almost pissed his pants but Arthur has already appeared in front of him. "Damn you, begone! I summon thee, Elusive Dragon!" Dimon shouted through gritted…

Dimon looked at his own hands, now covered in blood. He felt as if a fist of lave has made its way to his internals, burning them away. He was in so much pain that he could barely listen to the words this young man said. "Although I find no reason that excuses this mass murder, I can't help but wonder about the reason such a vile human exists." He heard the boy's righteous words, and he felt even more nauseous at the self-righteousness he must be feeling. However, whatever was inside him rocked havoc…

To describe the village that lied before Arthur's eyes, he would use the word medieval only. Its huts gathered around simple roads with varying sizes, made from wood and leather. There also some fences for the animals but all that's left was eaten corpses. It seems that wild monsters have broken into the village after its residents disappeared. Arthur placed his hand on the shoulder of the trembling boy, making him startle with a gasp. If they weren't mid-spring, Arthur would have believed the boy was…

Strength was absolute in this world. Even then, women were looked down upon for their lacking physical strength. Most women had a higher affinity to mana than men. However, if their abilities didn't showcase this advantage, they would lag due to their lack of physical strength. That was the reason her father married someone else, forcing her mother to run to this city. He wanted boys, he said. She wasn't worthy of inheriting his legacy, he decided. No matter how cold her personality was, Amelia still…

After he returned home from the mountain range, leaving Dimon to heal, for now, Arthur was greeted with an unwelcome guest. "Hello," Julia stood up from the couch and slightly bowed her head. Arthur didn't answer and merely looked at his mother, who was sitting on the couch as well. "Greet the young lady, you brat!" His mother scowled at him, making Arthur not able to do anything but greet Julia back. His mother was always a sucker for etiquette and how society saw them, much to Arthur's…

After the boy had eaten and calmed down, Arthur uncuffed Dimon and sent him outside the village. The boy thanked him more than once but Arthur simply shooed him away. This unexpected event took a bit of his time, so Arthur wanted to reinforce the village before going out hunting. He used his skill to turn the soil into rocks, making the village look like a fortress. However, he stopped the building of the rest of the village for now. The reason was simple. This place was too close to humans. He…
