"So, you say that I should calm him when the times come?"
"Yes," Airi reply calmly tho her eyes just looking at the snow without facing Ascillia whom she talks with.
Ascillia looks deeply on Kuro below them since they are on the high ground.
Ascillia smile
"I don't know. Master is not weak, let us see first."
-->
Icy Garuda. A bird-type monster with a size of 9 meters. A strong predator monster which kills their prey in an instant. The biggest advantage they have is their speed. It can be on par with the average Legendary-Class Adventurer.
While on the left...a Ghost Wolf. A transparent body monster with a size of 12 meters. Also a predator monster. The body is immune to physical attack and only magic work on it. Even advance magic would barely scratch it because of its high defense. High attack, high defense high HP, and High speed, such annoying monster.
Both are annoying. Also, both have been corrupted. I can say they are equal to a High-Legendary Rank Adventurer.
But, the more powerful it is the more experience I gain and the more EXP I get.
I pull out my glove from my 'Magic Storage' and wear it. I will need to use magic to kill the wolf. I slowly pull out my sword from my sheath.
*Grssaaaa* The wolf roar and it causes some impact in a straight line. I evade it using my current speed, it's not a problem to evade the attack just now.
[World's Will: Activated]
"Sword Enhancement!" I enhance fire magic on my sword and swung it behind me. I could see in a second that the Garuda will attack me as soon as I evade the wolf attack.
I don't know a monster that has intelligence before. They have this teammate style of fighting as they help each other, it's as if I was fighting a human but not a monster.
I hit the Garuda earlier tho it has a fast reaction and I could barely cut its body. Now both of them are in a good position. One is in front of me while the other is behind.
*Grssaaaa* Once again the wolf roar but I saw its mana flow on the sound impact its release.
I could counter the attack as I can see the flow of mana on it.
With this power, I gain from level up my 'World's Will' I could see the flow of mana. I had a hard time before because I could only sense it, but now I could see it.
I could just disturb the flow and the whole magic would be destroyed.
I swung my sword slowly, the wolf was moving as if it was avoiding something.
I chuckled. The wolf's tail got cut along with the big rock behind it. It was a clean-cut in a straight line.
For normal people who sees this, they would not know what has happened. My distance from the wolf is around 9 meters. How can my slow swing just now could cut the wolf's tail? It is the power I got after training with my sword.
[Supreme Class: God Swordman]
*info: Have knowledge of all technique that exists in this world and can freely use it if the requirement is achieved.
There are a lot of swords style. The style that I use just now is Shi no Kaze-Style. It's an old grandmaster from this world who made this sword technique. I achieve it when I get to learn the flow of mana.
It was really useful. I just put the wind magic to my sword, and the wind around me will follows the sharpness of the sword. If I swing it correctly, it will send the wind to the place that I want.
Both of these monsters have a fast reaction, I thought that I would already cut the wolf's head. I guess I need some speed--
My body suddenly disappears. Learning the 'Shi no Kaze-style' have another effect. This took me some time to learn and control. I could make my body move inside the flow of the wind. Of course, to dispel such powerful skill either dispel my magic, find me inside the flow of the wind although it is impossible, or make sure the place has no wind and of course it is impossible to do that as this place are too open.
Little by little I cut both the Garuda and Wolf's body as they were confused about my whereabouts.
It's a really powerful skill. Powerful skill also came with a side effect. Because I move inside a wind that's mean my body won't release nor absorb any wind, and in other words, it blocked any air to enter and out from my body. That's mean I could not breath while using this skill. I also cannot put magic inside my body as it was blocked.
In just less than 5 minutes I killed those 2 Corrupted Legendary-Class monster.
How could I hold my breath for 5 minutes you ask? Of course, that's a secret.
"Woahh!! This is like a free EXP. I level up a lot." As I was collecting the part of those monster body that come flying when I cut them earlier.
I heard the sound of someone jump from a high place. It was Airi tho Ascillia come down by flying using her wind magic.
"Kufufu, you have grown, Kuri. Defeat those type of monster easily."
"Congratz, Master"
"Hum... Of course! I am now a big pro-God. You can call me daddy" I make some proud face. I guess I can fight those old men easily now, I don't know. I will try that later.
"Ewww" Airi makes some annoying face.
As I collect the part of the monster's body, I saw a shining crystal inside the wolf's body.
"Hmmm, Nephy what is this?"
[System]
*Answer, this is Heart of Soul
"Heart of Soul?"
*Yes. Heart of Soul can be used in a lot of ways. The host can cultivate it to make a stronger soul or host can just make a ritual to destroy someone soul.
Erkk... Destroy someone soul, you say? I doubt I want to use it for that. Well, I will take it for now.
After putting it in my 'Magic Storage' I can see that the Heart of Soul is an Ancient item.
This item must be super useful, I thought. I guess I'll try to cultivate it later.
Airi was still talking with Ascillia while I'm collecting the monster's body.
-->
"Tch!" Such an Impudent brat, I saw his face using my connection with my monster buuuut, what kind of magic is he using. He kills my pet that easily, but... this is my mountain. I can play with you, brat. I will fu*king kill you!" Kwahahaha
His evil and scary laughed could be heard from inside the cave.
-->
Using my Pointer magic, I came back to the cave.
"Humm, so you say he cut off that strong monster easily?"
"You are no logic,"
I could hear the voice of someone talking or perhaps arguing about something from inside. I only recognize Rail sound, while there are one soft woman voice and a man. Perhaps other people have lost?
"I'm back..." I startled after seeing the face of the man and the two woman. It was them! The lost people. What a miracle. My mission has done then.
One of them was sitting on the stair, the woman and the other man was sitting on the sofa facing Rail.
They also shocked to see me.
"Are you... from Orval?" The man questions me as soon as he saw me.
"A..ahh yess."
"Lemme ask this first... Rail told us that you have a mission to find lost people"
"Yes, and it is you guys"
He saw my B-Rank adventurer pass.
"Oh, who gives you this mission? You just come here in vain, dude. And look here, you bring a child. You know this place is a dead end. There's no one strong enough to save us. We are stuck!"
"Tanny! Calm down and sit!" The woman shouted. Angry with the attitude of her husband. Well from what the old man tells me, they are a married couple.
"Argh... Whatever" His walking pace was fast as if he was running. He went to the stairs and went inside one of the room.
I can't say anything. Of course, to gain trust from them must be hard. He is one of the strongest A-rank adventurers from Orval while I'm only a B-rank adventurer.
"I'm sorry young man for my husband's attitude"
"Nah, it's fine"
"But, yeah. What he said is true. We are stuck in here. Those barrier magic are strange and who made it must be above A-rank adventurer."
I could say the same. To be able to corrupt and control those monster I fought just now... it must be the work of a strong person and he already made a contract with the demon from the 'Dark World'.
"Is that your sister?"
"Ahh, no. she is my companion"
"Oh my, what a lively companion you have there. Why don't you take a sit."
Ahh, From earlier we only standing here. I felt awkward.
"Tanny is not a bad man." The woman started to talk. Rail read his book, I guess he is not interested in this.
"...."
"He loves the people in the village and was loved by everyone. He just got irritated by the fact that we are stuck here. He sometimes acts stupid, he just worry or I can say, he felt guilty. Because of us, you came here and stuck along with us. So, I hope you can forgive him"
She didn't even look at me while saying that and she just holds her cup of tea while gazing upon it.
I get what she was saying. She just means 'I'm Sorry' for her husband.
Of course, why would I mad? It must be sound high and mighty to say that I could save 3 A-Rank adventurers. I should gain their trust first.
"Ahh, I'm Allie, and the woman on the stair is Aella"
"Yaw" she raises her right hand to wave at me. her arm is on the gate hole on the stair along with her leg as if she was stuck.
"Kuro. Kohaku Kuro."
"And this young girl is?"
"Airi. Just Airi"
"Aww.. what a lovely name" She sip a tea and it was silence for a while.
"We heard funny things about you from Rail."
"Funny?" I just smile at her.
"He said you beat a monster that even he couldn't beat easily. Rail is a strong A-rank adventurer from another town you know."
"Hear that, Rail?"
"Yeah whatever" his eyes still focus on the book that he is reading.
"Hahaha, I did kill it, but just after Rail weaken it." I give her an awkward smile.
*sigh* "I guess he has his reason" Thought Rail.
"Well then, I found the mastermind behind all of this... and..--"
"Whaat?" Rail who was shocked by what I was saying hit the desk.
"Ah.. sorry" he sits once again after calm down.
"May I ask, how do you find the mastermind?"
"I sense him, using my.. umm magic" I don't know how to explain my magic tho. I can just talk about it in a sense where they can understand.
"You sense? even though this barrier has blocked you from using it?" She was curious. Well, I can't explain my magic to her. I do bring my 'Mythical-Rank' adventurer pass, but I don't have any intention to show it to them. If I want to let them to trust me, there is a lot of ways to show it.
"This guy, he is not simple. I know from the start that he is strong, but my sense told me that he is more than that. I will just see what he will do to gain their trust. The fact that only both of them come to this mountain to save these lost guys shows either he is an idiot because how can a B-rank adventurer saves 3 A-rank adventurers or... he is powerful but chose to hide it." Thought Rail.
He was always curious about Kuro power up until now.
-->
It was the next day, we went out to hunt some monster, after all, it's hard to find food in this cold weather mountain.
We went out hunting while Airi stays at the cave.
-->
"Just go, I'm too lazy to go out. Just bring me some delicious food."
-->
Though that's what she says, I kinda piss just by remembering it. She has that annoying face!
"Ahh look, normal monster."
They hide behind a big rock, I just follow them.
Just a normal A-rank monster. I could easily kill all of them. I'm not sure about them though. For now, I will just pretend that I'm a weak adventurer. In front of us is more than a dozen of 'Rehyptla'. A turtle-like monster. Its size is around 4 meters. With such a strong and hard body, they are hard to kill. Their movement is slow though but got hit by it means death. Their stats are not that great.
"Here is our strategy, Allie, you stay behind and wait to give us a buff. Aella, while us try make an opening, shoot their stomach after we catch their attention."
He sure is a good leader. He has this aura of a commander. This type of monster is hard to deal with, but he exactly knows what he is doing.
This monster body is like a shield and the only weak point is on the stomach.
"All right, are you ready?"
All of us just reply by nodding.
"All right. Let's go!'
I guess this is the first time, I fight in a team. I wonder how it will end.
