Thirty minutes earlier. Lilly spoke to me in a calm voice. “No need for the others. Just send me.” “What nonsense are you talking about, Lilly…” Unable to walk properly and confined to a wheelchair, she was asking to be sent alone into the heart of enemy territory. I intended to refuse her request outright,…

Before my eyes, the magical portal that had been spinning around abruptly glowed red and then collapsed shut. It meant the gate on the other side had been destroyed. I clenched my teeth. “Who was the last to see the Shadow Squad?” “Tha-that is…” Damien stepped forward hesitantly. “I looked back right before I boarded…

A moment ago. With Ash’s order to retreat issued, the general soldiers began their withdrawal. “Phew! Does this mean today’s battle is over?” “Seems like it, doesn’t it?” A female shield warrior and a male hunter looked at each other and grinned. This couple were mercenaries temporarily assigned to the Shadow Squad and happened to…

Junior’s party consisted of five mages. Junior, an SSR-grade mage, and two R-grade and two N-grade mages. The gap between the well-equipped and awakened Junior and the rest, who had barely mastered the basic skills, was stark. But even the least among them was still a mage.

She was the monster slayer who had single-handedly thwarted the creatures’…

Continuing from there, I toured the forward base with Lilly, discussing with the various guild masters who were making repairs. While inspecting the equipment to be used in the upcoming defense, the guild masters finally guided me to a room in the basement of the forward base. “I’ve heard that you are proceeding with the…

The leader of the Leprosy Extermination Squad, Torkel, stood in front of the temple. As usual, his helmet pushed down over his eyes and his body wrapped in bandages, he could only gaze at the temple from a distance, unable to enter. He flinched, unable to step forward. “Oh, Torkel?” Damien, who had been sweeping…

“I’ve been here for a while but you didn’t notice. Just making my presence known since it was awkward to just stand by,” Ash muttered as if making an excuse. Caught in a bewildering silence, it was Lilly who first regained her composure among her and Godhand. “No way, Your Highness! Do you always have…
