As soon as the teleportation light died down we discovered we had been surrounded by demon wolves, the real issue however was not their individual strength but their strength as a pack. This looks like a mid-tier pack it should be a piece of cake for these two knights to...*glance* tchh...what a hassle it looks like they want me to prove myself. No way I'm showing my demonic aura here,*sigh* 'system activate augur and scan for pack leader', while watching me covered in wolf's blood and swinging my bayonet the two knights were estimating my skill with deadpan expressions, 'found it, at last, I picked my bow and aimed at the pack leader ending the skirmish with one shot. 'How was that ?, I should be worthy enough' I glanced at the two knights with a deadpan expression. I get the feeling I look more like a puppy begging for praise from its masters..."fumu...good enough" the calm female knight patted my head like a puppy, with a frown I struggled out of her grasp. "L...Let's get moving" I stammered "You need to collect the magic cores don't you?"."..." with a shrug, I collected the magic cores before I heard the fiery knight's exasperated shout"You lack manners don't you?" the fiery-tempered knight snatched the magic cores insisting we split it ten to ninety...I had no objections to this since any opinion of mine will be effortlessly rejected. *sigh* I have been sighing a lot since I came into this world. *Boom...krrkkkkk*Ahead of us a man dressed in tattered white garments came flying in our direction and behind him a horde of goblins...The two knights quickly unsheathed their swords but these dumbasses had more boobs than brains...The goblins at least numbered up to*Map scan complete*,*A horde of over one hundred thousand goblins approaching* "Ermmmm....hhhhhkkkkk" This stupid princess was shivering like a turkey to be slaughtered on Thanksgiving at least she could do something.."*plop*" *sigh* she fainted..."Quick we should leave here urgently!!" I shouted at the two muscle-headed knights and grabbed the princess since this useless waste had fainted. I fled the scene not minding the stupendous look the white-dressed youth was giving me. *Swish* with a flash the two knights teleported us away...including the white-dressed youth. While panting from exhaustion *glare* the fiery-tempered knight instead of showing gratitude was glaring at me, what could be my offense It was then I felt...mmmm yes I messed up I was groping the Princess shamelessly, at least this much is required right? I mean you didn't expect them to recompense me right, yes this much is required C'est Bon mademoiselle, while I was inwardly bestowing myself amnesty to my shameless behavior. "This junior is very grateful for your help"...hmm he was glaring at me, probably resentment for leaving him behind during that mess but anyway...The fiery-tempered knight grabbed his collar with a fierce expression "Do you know you almost killed the princess, do you think..". The rest of the argument was automatically deafened by my brain, I inherently disliked unnecessary actions or words...I laid the princess down and fed her some ordinary healing pills *Achooo* hmm...her only good point is her baby cuteness...mind you being a lolicon is not one of my traits..."Where am I?"..."We fled the scene because of the horde of goblins"...with a blank expression she asked again "Goblins??" "yes princess, goblins" "What of our practice session?", This further proves my hypothesis that the princess was definitely dropped from her crib when she was a baby to be this dumb...Hordes of demon beasts of at least one hundred thousand migrating should mean a demon king is above mobilizing his troops using 'Call of Hades' a demonic authority bestowed upon demon kings and emperors to mobilize demon beasts in their surroundings or territories. With a pitiful look, I was about to lecture her to eradicate the stupidity rate in the world when..."Princess, we have to leave" Grace the calm knight interrupted our conversation while preparing to chant a teleportation spell, Emilia further emphasized with a strict tone "No buts, we can assign an archery trainer for you rather than. " Yes to preserve the purity of this pitiful, dumb, cute creature known as the princess you cannot say "vile scum" in her presence...Getting the big picture the princess finally absconded to their demands and gave me a card of some sorts with her insignia on it "ermm...I will notify you through this when...we can train again"...Hmmm I smell a vile sly fox...and with that, they teleported, of course without me, thank you for your concern. Now then let us get to the main point "Who sent you?" yes this pitiful tattered white dressed buffoon must have been bait...when I scanned this fool's MP It was at least full for a Level 5 magician though he disguised as level 3, while my brain was thinking of potential suspects..."Greg..."I could not help but mutter and with a smile...*shinnngg* He unsheathed his broad sword...to bring a sword out of thin air must be the work of a spatial instrument...and must mean the organization he is affiliated to must be quite wealthy or he is wealthy himself 'an assassin?', "Arrrgggggghhh"...with two fingers I stopped his attack, flinging his sword to one side simultaneously kicking his ankle before falling on his sorry bottom he screamed" Impossible that was a low level true holy weapon who are you ?" and 'System activate pleios skill' . Minutes later, "Is that so?" After reading the soul of 'Jared' as an altruist I released him while enslaving him...I agree with you, 'release' and 'enslaving' should not be in the same sentence but I would need someone on the inside to unravel Greg's ferocity. Greg was on the opposition party of the princess and needed to frame me for harming the princess. His plan was setting conditions and forcing me into a soul contract enslaving me to learn my secrets, Looks like my cover is blown I need more time "system show status"
