Immortal Sage

"Successive cases of merchant troops to the village of Togachi being wiped out or missing, including escorts…"

"Is that a demonic raid?... or bandits?

"If it's a demon, the load must be scattered, but all the load has been taken away. … but the merchants, whose annihilation has been confirmed, are all dying in a strange way…"

"Strange way to die?

"Very, I don't think it's human work..."

"You can't tell me without being specific, right?

"I know. Come here..."

The guild leader who left the reception room set us up in a demolition yard, leading us inside a refrigerated demon prop.

The refrigerated magic props in the possession of the Alliance were quite large and about the size of the reception room where they had been earlier.

You need to store all kinds of demonic material, so I guess it's broad and natural, but you have gold for guilds...

In the refrigerated demon props... the guild leader showed us the adventurous body wrapped in cloth in the deepest part of it.

"Ugh!"

………

Chris turns away by keeping his mouth down.

There was a body slightly diagonally amputated from head to groin.

Mark and Holly on the boulder were only in the army, trying to find a cause of death from the body...

"The Great Sword?

"Is it something that can truncate humans so beautifully so far?

"Even the magic of the wind... you can't do this cross section..."

"Wolf, how about your light blade slaughter?

"You're slashing it beautifully to the spine... I don't think it would be such a cross section if you slashed it with a shock wave..."

Yes, the slashing mouth visible from this cross section of the body was the only thing I could think of that doubled the victim's spine vertically.

Few human beings can be cut off from their heads for slaughter, but even such masters cannot do so beautifully to their spines.

"It's not a slaughter... it's not a shock wave from the front..."

"It can't be magic..."

We worry about bodies that don't seem to belong in this world...

"The supplies of the village of Togachi are coming to the limit. Could you take on a merchant escort in your clan?

The look on the Alliance's face represented the urgency of the matter.

But it's definitely an overly dangerous request...

"Talk to me... I'll get back to you tomorrow"

We decided to go back to the base and talk to him once.

"It's too dangerous not to know what kind of attack you're going to make."

"If you're out of load, you're not a demon, you're a human being."

"It's not a possible way to kill humans..."

"What's Wolf going to do?

"It's a pretty dangerous request... but I'm going to take it..."

Just a sense of justice, that's not what I thought.

Instead of winning...... I can't even predict what kind of opponent will attack me.

But I had a hunch in me...

I have a feeling you can't go through with this...

"Are you serious?

"Any chance of winning?

Mark and Julia look incredible.

"This time Mark will also be in charge of Zhongwei!

"What are we going to do with less avant-garde!

"Yes, the sooner you discover it, the more countermeasures you can think of!

"Mark's got Holly, Julia's got Chris."

With Chris and Holly's healing magic, you can have them healed even if they suffer some scratches.

And if it gets really dangerous, I have a better survival rate than Mark with [zone] skills.

Explain and persuade that it's not about self-sacrifice, but about increasing survival and winning.

"The restorative magic of Holly and Chris becomes the lifeline. If you're going to figure out a way to crusade while I'm dealing with you, Mark and Julia will be the right ones."

"Dear Wolf, promise me you will never die!

"Can you imagine me dying?

"Mr. Wolfe, please answer me seriously!

"I'm not going to die. That's why I'm counting on you two!

"I will definitely try to help!

"If you live, I will make sure that me and Mr. Holly recover!

Looks like Mark and the others made up their minds when they saw their resolve.

"Wolf, let us protect you both. Don't worry about your back!

"I'll cover you as much as I can!

We all decided unanimously to take the request.

We're adventurers.

Avoiding danger is important, but when we move forward, we need to take a step with courage.

"It's about yesterday's request, I'll take it!

Tell the guild leader in the guild's reception room.

"I'm so sorry. Seeing the exploration of the [Dragon's Nest], no adventurer exceeds you [Black Wolf] in your ability to perceive and respond to danger. You are the last of the forts..."

Deeply bowing head guild leader......

It's a serious situation for the Alliance as well, but you must have regretted not being able to protect the merchant squad that asks the Alliance...

Two days later, we left Halmund as a merchant's escort.
