As I woke up and the ray of the sun's light shone at me, there beside me is my companion Qilin sleeping beside me. I stood up and looked around and saw burnt corpses beside my Qilin. It had seemed that he was protecting me when I passed out last night.
"Thanks partner.", I brushed my hand to its fur.
"Right, the women and the children that were trapped."
After recollecting my thoughts of the battle that I had last night inside the den of the goblins, I went inside again to find where they kept the kidnapped the women and children inside the cave. As I found the deepest part of the cave, a floor lower than the place where I fought the goblins, there I saw the goblins guarding prison cells made of joined rocks.
"I should be able to lift it now.", I mutter to myself.
I opened my inventory and brought out a blade longer than the body of a human, its blade part in crimson color and the guard in the shape of a golden coiled snake.
"Sword Art: Stab"
As I stabbed the blade into the bodies of the goblins guarding the prison, the blade absorbed the blood of the goblins and its edge became sharper as it absorbed the blood of the goblins.
"Everybody, all of you are free now! Follow me to the exit!"
A few hours later, we arrived back at the village before reaching afternoon. The villagers and the chief were there, expecting our arrival with happy faces. As the sun came down, the village hosted a party to celebrate the return of their wives and children all in one piece. While me and the chief were at the back of his house, gazing at the stars as we converse.
"I had a few doubts regarding your return so I prayed to the goddess hoping she would give you the strength to bring back yourself and our people.", the chief said as he looked at the stars beside me.
"I sincerely thank you on behalf of my village. Please accept my gratitude with no hesitation.", he kneels down in front of me as he thanks me.
"It was just a part of my job, so there's no need to kneel down.", I helped him stand up.
"Still, please accept my token of gratitude.", he says as he took out a chest from his house.
The chest was filled with silver coins and a few gold coins, it was the chief's savings from when he was an adventurer himself. With politeness, I accepted his gratitude and ended the night there. As the sun came up to shine upon the village once again, I readied myself to head back inside to Luscensia Empire, to submit the completed commission.
"Sir adventurer, do you still have the commission paper with you?", the chief asks.
"I still have it.", I took out the paper from my inventory pouch.
"Please, hand it to me for a second.",
The chief took the paper and placed his hand on the bottom right of the paper. His palm then glowed and a seal mark appeared on the bottom right of the paper.
"This is your proof of completion. Once again, thank you for helping our village. If you ever need our village's assistance, you are always welcome to visit us.", the chief with a smile.
I nodded in response and got up at my Qilin and exited the village. I could still hear their thank you and goobyes after exiting the village. As I entered the forest heading back to the Luscensia Empire, I abruptly stopped Qilin and stepped down.
"There's no use hiding. Show yourselves before I force you to.", I said to the trees around me.
A few people wearing robes and red masks appeared, they were holding swords and staffs with malicious dark red energy emanating from them.
"So you were the one that killed my precious efforts.", a woman said.
"Precious efforts? I don't remember getting involved with any of you.", I said in a serious tone.
"You know very well what we're talking about, the fact that someone as lowly as you defeated it is surprising enough.", she said in a mocking tone.
"Still, how was it? Was it strong or was it not enough?", she asked in a provocative voice.
These people are definitely not human, the aura they're emitting reminds me of the demon clan bastards back in the game. The demon clans consisted of different races such as the dark elves, vampires, dark humans and the original demons. Right now, aside from their aura, they're a emitting a strong smell of blood and I can smell it strongly from their mouths due to my enhanced senses.
"You all are vampires... am I correct?"
As soon as I stated the word, the people with her showed signs of surprise and while she... reacted the strongest.
"A human that could kill a successful experiment of mine is too dangerous to be left alone, a threat to the holy cult.", she said while she unmasked herself, revealing her fangs directed at me.
The others removed their masks, causing themselves to go berserk just by the slightest scent of blood from my body.
"Sorry but I'm not the type to let other people have a taste of my precious body.", I said as I raised my right hand up to the air.
Judging by their auras, they're mere small fries compared to the vampire perverts born from the Nosferatu clan back in the game.
"So DOWN.", I said in a serious voice
"Heh, wha-", she said as a mysterious force pressures her down.
As I put my hand down, an invisible force that effected only the targets I picked were pulled down to the ground with powerful pressure, forcing them to kneel.
"W-what is this immense pressure!? Impossible! How can I, blessed by the savior be humiliated like this! Its the same situation when I first met the holy cult's leader.", she muttered to herself.
"If it's not enough, should I add another one?", I said as I raised my left hand up.
"N-no! Please spare us! We were only doing the cult's orders!", she says while trying to resist the pressure on her body.
"Really? Tell me more about this cult.", I smile
