CHAPTER 47 — The Upbringing of a Knight
Without wasting words further after that short conversation, the silhouette of Aldric's body dashed fast, jumping piercing through the density of the border forest trees and disappearing in the blink of an eye toward the north direction, leaving a thin puff of wind moving the leaves around the camp.From on top of the hillside, the injured middle-aged adventurers could only watch Aldric's movement route from a distance with a gaze laden with a sense of wonder. Only a few minutes after his departure, from the direction of the lower valley, a massive-sized B-Rank Iron-Tusk Bear species monster suddenly appeared from behind the bushes. That monster was the same type of predator that previously had made their group be at the threshold of mass death.However, the sight of the execution occurring next successfully made the entirety of those adventurers freeze completely in their standing places.In only two extremely precise, clean, and powerful horizontal slash movements without a pause, t
CHAPTER 46 — The Limit of a Servant's Strength
"Someday, after the entirety of the chaos in this northern border territory subsides," Aldric continued with a tone that accepted no bargaining, "I will come to you personally to request a fitting compensation payment for the price of those potions. Remember my face and mask well."Hearing that comparative requirement, the team captain instead let out a long breath with a facial expression that appeared many times far more relieved than before. For veteran adventurers accustomed to living hard in the field, a clear business transaction like this was instead far easier and more comfortable to accept within their logic, rather than accepting suspicious free help full of political self-interest from the nobles."If only that requirement is what you demand from us, Masked Sir..." the captain opened the bottle cap firmly, "then on behalf of my group's reputation, I swear by the god to pay in full the entirety of this blood debt price in the future. We will not run away from this obligation
CHAPTER 45 — The Value of a Transaction
After the silhouette of the black cloak of the watcher from the demon faction completely disappeared, swallowed by the density of the night, a quiet silence crept back, taking over the hillside of the border. The massive tension that had briefly gripped the area now slowly faded, leaving ripples of ragged breaths of relief from the adventurers who had successfully defended their lives. Darius let out a long breath, slowly lowering his new sword while wiping the cold sweat that wet his forehead. His palm felt numb due to a grip that was too strong during the battle earlier.Even though the direct threat from the demon watcher had been removed, the physical condition of that adventurer group was still highly pitiful. One of the team members who was severely injured in the stomach part appeared to lean weakly against a fallen tree trunk. His pair of eyelids trembled violently at the threshold of consciousness due to losing too much blood. His breath was short and broken, displaying signs
CHAPTER 44 — The Soul Chain Bond
Ding!A faded blue transparent hologram screen suddenly manifested in front of Aldric's vision, displaying a series of forbidden system options that he had never used before until now.[Target Meets the Requirements for Soul Spatial Contract Execution][Option: Forced Contract Available for Activation]Activity Cost: 500 Ego PointsAbsolute Effects of the Contract:The target automatically transitions into a permanent contract slave without a time limit.The target loses the psychological ability to betray or lie to the contract owner.The target is obliged to spew out the entirety of the tactical information access they know in a real manner when interrogated.The target will not realize or feel that their soul is currently bound by the magic contract seal.External parties or high-tier mages will not be able to detect the existence of this seal residue.Aldric's pair of eyes behind his mask instantly brightened clearly upon reading the row of long-term manipulative effects offered b
CHAPTER 46 — The Appearance of the Watcher
The middle-aged adventurer appeared to furrow his brow tightly, displaying a look on his face that was confused as well as awkward after hearing the highly cold and indifferent response from his savior."I didn't go through the trouble of stepping down into this muddy place and clearing that pack of beasts because of a moral goodness motive or pity for you all," Aldric continued with a flat tone of voice without emotion. "If your adventurer group did not possess a comparable information value or business profit in my eyes, I certainly would have stepped away leaving this place since the very beginning."Darius, who stood a few steps behind, did not show a surprised look at all. A characteristic that was highly pragmatic, transactional, and rejected false heroism like that was indeed a pure reflection of the personality of an Aldric.However, a peculiar thing instead happened to the adventurer leader. Instead of feeling offended or angry because his self-esteem was stepped on, his pair
CHAPTER 42 — The Slaughter on the Hillside
Aldric jumped down from the shadow of the large tree without causing even a single ripple of sound on top of the muddy ground. His movement was so smooth, almost resembling a falling leaf, yet his pair of eyes instantly locked onto the movement of the B-Rank Iron-Tusk Bear which was preparing to strike its giant claw toward the adventurer leader who was already helpless."Darius, clear the remaining low-rank monsters on the outer perimeter. Leave the rest to me," Aldric commanded with a tone of voice that was far too flat in the midst of the chaos.Darius, who had just restored his stamina, immediately moved quickly obeying that command. Under the tactical guidance of the telepathic signs from Nero, who perched on top of a high tree branch, the young man was now capable of reading the gaps in the opponent's movements with a much more mature level of precision compared to before.'Lower left, Darius! It is preparing to use its tail!' Nero squeaked directly inside Darius's mind through
