It had continued on the third day of Zeion's journey from Turnera, his face staring silently at the cityscape. The civilization seemed far more striking than the trees surrounding it. "Should I go there or just continue?" For someone who had entered a territory before, it would be very difficult to assume that conditions there would be better. Losing the money he had earned was the worst moment, and he didn't want to experience that again at all. But... Gruu... At the precise moment, a rumble protested in his stomach; since the beginning, he hadn't eaten anything. He intentionally did this, knowing that his body would be much worse off if too sensitive to food, and his concentration would be destroyed if too focused on eating. But, once again, when hunger strikes, his body truly finds it difficult to concentrate.&nbs

"Did this work?" Zeion asked himself, trying to convince the person in front of him, speaking firmly like a mature man. Thanks to his encounters with several people, they usually used a formal tone, which gave an impression of elegance.But since he uttered those words earlier, there had been no response from the man. The atmosphere continued to buzz silently with question marks.With folded hands and tightly closed eyes, there was turmoil within his mind."Hmm... very well!" he said, displaying an intimidating glare. "But can you explain why you're rejecting this offer, even though you must realize the benefits of accepting it?""I do realize that what you're doing is to ensure the continuity of this tavern, but it's too hasty. I know nothing about this town, and you surely regard me as a stranger! It would be very odd for you to easily accept me as the successor of this tavern...""Indeed, I understand that! This shop has been around for quite some time, and I'm getting older. I wou

"How could this happen, why was your daughter arrested by those people?" Zeion hurriedly asked the question. The response given by the tavern owner was certainly not as enthusiastic as his own, his face still covered in beads of sweat with an empty-eyed gaze. His hand continued to rub his throbbing head. But he still said, "They came, then they acted roughly, Amy tried to stop them, but she ended up receiving rough treatment, they also destroyed this place and left a message that if you don't come soon, they will kill Amy..." Zeion's body felt as if it were being crawled over by tiny ants spreading throughout his body. "So, this is what the message from those people meant!" Zeion stood up with a serious expression, his eyes staring off into a corner room while contemplating what treatment Amy might have received. "Sir..." The old man's hand grasped his, stari

With the actions that had stirred hearts, they observed Zin lying helpless there.Tap! Tap!At that moment, Daigo stepped forward, slowly approaching, his thoughts inscrutable, but his eyes never leaving what lay before him."What is this person going to do?" Zeion wondered inwardly."It's truly pathetic. I thought he would be more useful for longer, but it seems his limit ends here."Zeion squinted upon hearing these words. They weren't directed at him, but they seemed to mirror his past.Daigo picked up the sword lying there, then...Crash...Zin's head was struck off just like that, a moment that made people want to vomit. But they didn't look away; it was a duty that had to be fulfilled."That was an interesting fight earlier, but it's a shame your abilities weren't used properly," Daigo continued, standing tall, his body exuding intimidation."What's with this person? The aura within him is completely different from anything I've ever seen...""What if your abilities were used to

This problem did not simply end with Daigo's defeat as the leader of the Cross Dawn clan; leadership was now held by Dande, who had the authority.From the start, he was known for his wisdom in handling issues in every region, and of course, he had to control the territories held by Daigo to prevent conflicts among the remaining clan members.Exactly 10 days after the incident, the atmosphere seemed to be back on track.Flowers bloomed with birds chirping, welcoming a beautiful morning."Ha... it's been a while since I've seen conditions like this!" remarked a neatly dressed man as he looked around.There, two of Dande's envoys were escorting him, accompanying him to where Dande was.Upon entering the room, they bowed in respect to Dande."Lord Dande, I am glad to see you are still in good condition!"Dande grunted roughly as he flicked his ashtray onto the container, disposing of the accumulated ash."Humph... don't joke around, you bothered coming here just to visit me!"Diendrick w
