Hell Needle Stab

Rex took Calvin to one of the food stalls in the city, he ordered three servings of food for them. Calvin sat casually and looked at the surroundings which were very far from where he came from. The room was filled with people who all carried swords and some also carried shields.

"Calvin, this time we have a mission," Rex said, starting the conversation.

"Mission? What are we doing missions for?” he asked.

"Of course to earn money, besides that to make us stronger."

"Don't you two look strong already, you just need to practice to be strong right?"

"Of course training will make us stronger, but we still need money to survive."

“It turns out that in this world you also have to work hard to survive huh? I guess I just need to live by adventuring.”

The food they ordered had arrived, without further ado Calvin immediately devoured the food in front of him. The effect of walking far enough to make Calvin lose a lot of energy. He looked the hungriest of the two of them. Meanwhile, Rex himself was thinking about a strategy to carry out the mission this time. She who had lost the Commander made her have to think about everything alone, Livy herself was the type of person who always complied with all the plans made by Rex.

“Our mission this time is to slay the blue scale dragon, this is an S tier mission that only guilds of a certain level can do. The level of the Dark Wolf guild itself is enough to get an S level mission. We only need to kill it and bring 10 blue dragon scales as evidence," said Rex, starting to explain his mission.

“Rumors of this blue scale dragon have indeed circulated widely enough that the kingdom publicly gave this order to the guilds for quite a high fee. The feud with the Blue Whale guild cost us a lot of time, with last night's incident it's all now over. Now I'm sure that we will be increasingly targeted by the other guilds, they don't know about the blue sword item that you are currently holding, it is a very rare item and many people covet it. So whatever happens, don't let the sword go to other people," said Livy.

“In addition to the sword item that Livy is holding now we have two items that other guilds really want.”

Calvin seemed to be busy with the food that was in front of him without paying attention to what Rex and Livy were saying, he really enjoyed the food.

"Can I add more?" Calvin asked, holding out his empty bowl.

“Hoi!! Listen to our explanation," Rex said with a little annoyance, while Livy just sighed while taking food.

“Fine I get it, I like this sword myself. So don't worry I won't hand it over to anyone,” Calvin answered in a lazy tone.

"After this we will leave immediately, you have to be prepared because this trip will be long," said Rex in an enthusiastic tone.

**

The three of them had finished making preparations to go on a mission. Calvin seemed normal with his first mission, the most important thing on his mind was eating. Their journey begins through the forest which is not far from the city. Almost all the way in the city, the eyes of people who do not like them do not disappear. This bothered Calvin, but from the start Rex had said that he just ignored things like that.

They had entered a forest that looked quite dense.

"Calvin, are you okay now being here?" he asked.

"You mean?"

“You said you weren't from this world right? Such a thing should be depressing to want to return to your world, but since this morning you have been acting normal.”

“I don't know, there wasn't anything interesting in my previous world. Who knows if in this world everything will become interesting.”

“But I believe your previous world wasn't as harsh as in this world, you can live at ease. As you saw last night, we could have been killed that night but we were both lucky because of your arrival.”

“Well let's call it fate.”

Suddenly Calvin felt something coming from the side. “Down!”

An enormous slashing wind attack came towards the two of them, the wind formed wide and extremely sharp. All the trees that the slash passed through fell instantly. It made the three of them very surprised. Livy and Rex immediately got ready, not long after a second wind slash came towards them. With fast reflexes, Rex jumped while carrying Calvin's body, while Livy prepared to fend off the attack using her sword.

“Craanngg!!!”

With her great sword Livy resisted the attack and deflected her attack towards the sky. Seeing someone, Livy immediately moved quickly to hunt that person. Livy's speed was very much different, with one kick her body seemed to fly forward. Livy chased after the person who suddenly attacked her, seeing that made Rex move too.

"You just wait here."

Calvin just nodded his head and Rex went to catch up with Livy.

Livy seemed focused on what she saw, several attacks kept coming towards her. However, Livy can easily fend off all incoming attacks. Rex had come from behind, he also saw the person who attacked them.

“Prick of Hell's Needle!”

A ranged attack from Rex flew straight at the person.

“Duuaaargghhh!!”

A large explosion occurred as a result of the attack released by Rex, they both stopped and saw a fairly thick puff of smoke in front of their eyes. Livy immediately swung her sword to dispel the thick smoke.

In front of them lay the person who had just attacked him, he was hit directly by Rex's attack so he died instantly.

"Do you know him?" he asked.

"No, he looks foreign to me."

“Damn it, are they also after us?”

"Who knows."

At Calvin's place, comes the group of people he met at the castle earlier, namely Dante and some of his troops. They saw Calvin who was standing alone then smiled evilly. Calvin looked at them with a slightly confused expression, Dante's troops seemed to be ready with swords in their hands.

"Hey! Get ready, this is the result of you having underestimated me!” Dante shouted at Calvin.

Calvin just remained silent, not responding to Dante's words.

"What's with your expression? I'm sure you're scared so you can't say anything. Cry, shout loudly, that will make me happy,” said Dante with a very loud laugh.

"Who are you?" asked Calvin with a confused face.

“Damn it! Kill him now!!” Dante ordered with an angry expression.
