The Silva family mansion north of Egzil.

Currently, adventurers were gathering there.

It's not just the adventurers belonging to the so-called Silva family, who admire Bosque. There are also many adventurers who are usually completely unrelated to the Silva family.

That number had already exceeded 50, and was still gradually but continuously increasing.

"Damn, I'm back from the dungeon and I'm going to drink! That's what I was about to do, huh? As soon as it arrived at the guild, I was fortunate to hear about this one... oh my booze..."

In a group of adventurers gathered in the backyard of the Silva family, a mid-20s man dressed as a common adventurer, such as a long sword, on a leather armor, unfortunately whines and talks foolishly to a familiar adventurer next door.

But the man with the spoken Breast Armor and Battle Axe sighs and flaunts his shoulder.

The sun is already setting, but this is the Silva family mansion. Furthermore, the garden, now liberated by adventurers, is equipped with several magic items to light the lights, which are not as bright as noon, but still have no trouble in the dark, so the mourning adventurer could see the trick firmly.

"Then you shouldn't have taken this request. How much do you mean the Silva family can't force a request?"

"You can't do that, can you? That's what I'll see later if I have to take it on here...... in fact, you're just like me, aren't you?

He was the man who asked that because of his familiar anxiety, but the reply he returned was not what he expected.

"No, because I'm talking about the Marchelle family that's grabbing adventurers who have been missing lately on everything. Someday someone I know suddenly disappeared. Maybe..."

So I put a look on the words of the man who stops the words, like I've heard something extra.

The moment a man in leather armor tries to open his mouth in an attempt to do something about the strange atmosphere that drifts between them.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Out of nowhere, I hear voices like that.

Not one or two voices. The voices of 10, 20, or more.

It's also a voice that emits a swordswallowing atmosphere.

The men we were just talking to, or other adventurers gathered in the garden, will feel the atmosphere and focus their consciousness so that they can move into action at any time.

One adventurer jumping in there.

Those in the garden reach out to their weapons aggressively, but breathe a slight relief when they know that it is the adventurers belonging to the Silva family who have come.

But that was also until the adventurer who jumped in opened his mouth.

"The Silva family is currently under attack! Most of the people who are attacking us are residents of Slam Street, but most likely by the Marstells! Give me a hand with the interception right now!

Hearing the cry, the adventurer who was in the garden shrugged.

Sure, they were hired to attack the Marstells, but they just thought it was something they could attack. I never thought it would take the opposite form of defending me from attacking you from the other side.

But still... here are adventurers challenging a dungeon that doesn't know when or what will happen, and among other things, those hired by the Silva family to determine they have more than a certain level of combat power.

Most adventurers decide they should go out for an immediate interception and head right for the rioting main entrance.

The adventurer and the man with the Battleax, who had moaned earlier that he could not drink, also take his own weapon and head towards the front gate.

It's not that far apart in distance, but in a few minutes of the thing we arrive in front of the main entrance, but it had already turned into a riot there.

I guess he's an adventurer belonging to the Silva family, or a servant of the Silva family even if he's not an adventurer. Each with a weapon is fighting an opponent who has raided in front of the main entrance.

Some of them are cooks or nearly 2m tall men with muscular bones swinging huge frying pans, or maid-like beings swinging a stick made of metal to beat their opponents with one blow. When other gardeners and men wield branch-cutting shovels, fortunately, they blow up raiders believed to be residents of Slam Street.

(Maybe we didn't need it?

It's no wonder you can fight against raiders if you're a gatekeeper, security guard, or whatever you're hired as an escort.

But it's the cooks, the maids, the gardeners who are fighting in front of us.

"Huh!? Whoa, look at that!

A man with a Battleax screams with surprise.

The adventurers around me who heard it followed the gaze of a man with a Battleax... breathtaking by accident at the next moment.

It was the monster who was there.... it's not just a monster either.

There are summoners and Tamers, so it's not strange to have a few monsters all over the city. But unless that monster is in a group of nearly 20.

Some of those well-known species like Goblin, Oak, Cobolt, Soldier Ant and Lizardman, others like rabbits with huge horns nearly a metre long and frog-shaped monsters with purple spots floating to the point of toxicity on the body surface.

And...

"Oh, man. If I'm not mistaken, it looks a lot bigger than regular goblins."

"Ah, oh. No, that's not all. Most of the monsters out there are different than normal."

"Lizardman, I have two tails."

"Even for a soldier ant, there are bat-like feathers growing..."

The adventurers gathered in front of the main entrance mutter as if they were bewildered by the similarities and invisibility of each of their known monsters.

In the meantime, one of the adventurers realizes something leaks a potpourri.

"Abnormal species......"

Vikri, and. The adventurers who were around those who uttered the word accidentally stop moving.

And in things like fear, one of them opens his mouth. Make your own mistake. Praying that it was a mistake of some kind.

"What did you just say?

The word, which was uttered in his mouth in the hope of a glimmer of hope, is lightly denied.

"Abnormal species,.... definitely. I was a dog monster when I dived into a dungeon a while back to get Grand Trent and I encountered an anomalous species with a head and tail split in two. I don't feel any strong pressure on that abnormal species, but I still feel something of the same kind."

"... you're lying... if you're saying you're an abnormal species, why are you making such a big deal out of it? There's a human right in front of them."

"In other words, they control anomalous species. I guess that's what this is about. Not only was it grabbing people, but there was even a Marchelle family involved in the matter of the anomalous species, and besides, it was even possible to control them freely. That would be the case."

Beyond being adventurers diving in the dungeons, those on this scene naturally understand abnormal species. Of course it's how dangerous a substitute that is, and above all, that it's only been out in the dungeon so far.

Everyone on the spot heard the sound of Gokuri and someone swallowing their spit echoing around, even though the hustle and noise of the battle taking place in front of the main entrance rang so far.

Nobody moves, I can't move.

In front of the main entrance, the residents of Slam Street, who are only abandoned pawns, have been defeated one after the other by the adventurers and servants belonging to the Silwa family. That's fine, but if the inhabitants of Slam Street, who are also in the vanguard of the enemy, fall, nature and the power behind it will come forward.

That is... an abnormal species.

One, and one more, and the inhabitants of Slam Street fall, and eventually the appearance of an anomalous species begins gradually to appear on the front.

Still, the adventurers can't move.

If it were an original field called Dungeon, we would have already been ready for battle and headed for the enemy. But this is Eggzil. Hostile monsters should never have appeared if they were supposed to. As a result, the adventurers had fallen close to a sort of confusion and stopped moving.

And finally, the maid turned to the anomalous species of goblins...... then.

"Don't be afraid!

With that voice, something flew through the head of the goblin from the side of the mansion, and with that blow, he tailors the anomalous species.

"An adventurer would be something that protects an innocent people! What if you can't move because you're afraid of monsters? Stand up! Act! Now is the time to show your strength and protect this Exil!

Just listening allows nature and confusion to subside, and the fighting spirit overflows from within your body.

The voiced being walks out with something back on hand that took Goblin's life.

Beauty enough to attract the beholder and make him forget even the fear of death. And a voice full of majesty. Combat power with no abnormal species. Through all of that, Elaine walks in a space vacated naturally by servants serving the Silva family, holding the jointed sword in her right hand.

It's like just saying there's no obstacle before you.

Not just adventurers and servants of the Silva family. Even the abnormal species were overwhelmed by the atmosphere emanating from Elaine and stopped moving.

Abnormal species in the original sense...... if that was a bunch of abnormal species that Elaine encountered in the dungeon, or maybe she never got overwhelmed by Elaine so far.

But fortunately during misfortune, the abnormal species currently here were limited to those whose existence behind Holy Light could be manipulated by their own hands. In other words, no powerful monster existed.

"Come on, we're hunting an anomalous species! If we allow this person to exist, we will be in danger of the survival of the labyrinth city of Exile! Follow me, all of you!

The words that came out of Elaine's mouth went so far into the ears of wonders and adventurers. That's the same for the servants of the Silva family...

'Ugh... whoa whoa whoa!

Continue after Elaine as she leads the way with a roar.

"Don't think you can do this Exil!

I wave a jointed sword with my blonde roll of hair in the wind, screaming in a voice that sounds good to my surroundings.

Like a whip...... or freely changing its orbit in the air like a snake, the tip of a magically passed connecting sword flies toward an abnormal species of oak that looks more like a pig than a pig.

It was an abnormal species of oak that tried to prevent it with the spear it had, but the tip of the coupling sword cut the tip of the spear lightly to hit, penetrate and smash it into the head of the oak.

Oak brains and things like meat, blood, bones, or eyeballs are scattered around the perimeter, and the surrounding abnormal species turn their astonishing gaze to Elaine, who showed so much power in one blow.

Further despair continues for populations of abnormal species.

"Out of the way, whoa!

Boom!

A shadow that passed next to Elaine and came out on the front line. Claymore, with a blade nearly 2 m shadowed by the shadow, hit Lizardman's torso with two tails and a white body color, whose vision was blocked because Oak's brain was betting on his face. A flashy explosion occurs more than the head of the oak brought about by the jointed sword.

"Sha......"

You couldn't understand your own torso bursting, just whining one word... the next moment Lizardman just kept breathing and collapsed to the ground.

"Wow! What's the matter with you? Still an adventurer! If you want to protect this Eggzil, we'll clean up all the abnormal species!

A person screaming while swinging a claymore the size of which is not significantly different from his own height. Everyone on the spot knew who that was.

Bosque Silva.

A person who is the current head of the Silva family, one of the three houses that govern Exil, and who should not be in such a place, which is also inherently at the forefront of the battle.

But the person is waving a giant claymore without making him feel that way at all, inspiring his allies as he fights more than one another with the anomalous species.

The figure had something to feel because it was the Eggzil adventurer around.

"I'll... I'll do it. Take this Exil... we'll protect it!

When one adventurer shouts so, he advances with a spear in his hand that he had to cover the adventurer belonging to the Silva family, who is fighting an abnormal species.

The same is true of the others… The adventurers recovering from the temporary confusion turned to Elaine and Bosque and to the unusual species just to continue with the adventurers and servants belonging to the Silva family.
