24 - Episode 23 "The Adventurer's Kill" Hunting 1

I see, so the hooded elf species is the culprit of the "Killer of Adventurers.

Suddenly Mya, the red-haired woman who had given me the burn potion as a gift in the inn suite where we were staying, appeared out of thin air and collapsed on the floor.

The misanga tied around her left arm snapped off at the same time.

The reason for her sudden appearance in the room was probably due to the "SSR, Prayer Misanga" that I had given her as a thank-you for the burn medicine.

I immediately realized from the stains on Mya's clothes and the scratches on her leg that something urgent had happened.

After removing the stains and wounds with the Gift "Cleaning" card and healing her, I used the same Gacha card, "SR, Hypnosis," to get more details from her.

The "SR, Hypnosis" is a card that allows you to hypnotize your opponent and manipulate them at will or extract information from them. However, it does not work well on high level opponents, and the blank expression on the face during hypnosis makes it easy for a third party to detect abnormality at a glance. It is by no means a panacea.

However, it is very effective in extracting information from low-level mya, so we used it.

I finished extracting information about what had happened from her as she lay on the sofa.

A hooded elf species calling itself "Boku-sama" was attacking and killing adventurers.

The girls were also attacked by the hooded elves, her brothers were dying, and she was desperately trying to escape to give them information.

But in the end, they caught up with her and almost killed her - that's when the "SSR, Prayer Misanga" was activated and she was transferred to this place just now and saved.

I don't know what happened to her brothers after that.

After extracting the necessary information from her, I put her to sleep with the "SR, Sleep" card.

The "SR, Sleep" card is not particularly useful, as it is not effective against high level opponents.

But it will keep her awake for 24 hours.

I let out a light sigh after listening to what she had to say.

I'm sure the reason Miya appeared in our room is because of the power of the SSR Prayer Sleeping Sacrament. It must be due to her strong wish to convey information to me when her life was in danger. I never thought that the effect of the "SSR, Prayer Sanga" would be revealed in such a way. ......

The performance of the "SSR, Prayer Sanga" was also tested in the basement of the "Abyss," but none of the experiments were successful.

The explanation given by the appraisers was also vague: "It is an item that performs a small miracle when you make a strong wish.

According to Miya's story, a "strong wish" is a "life-threatening wish" that must be made with a strong desire.

It's not too much to say that it's useless. ......

However, its power is very strong.

In order to convey information to me, he jumped through space and appeared at an inn that I had never told the girls about.

The description says that it is a "miracle worker," even though it is small and has an SSR gacha rank.

So, Lord, what do we do now?"

'...... it's a given. I was originally trying to find an "adventurer-killer" to improve my rank, and that's when the clue was brought to me.

Our adventurer rank is one man (D level), but it is currently difficult to improve further.

It is not that the Adventurers' Guild is discriminating, but rather that we have only been registered as adventurers for a short period of time and it is difficult to raise our rank any higher.

We have only been registered as adventurers for a short period of time, and it is difficult to raise our rank any higher.

The "Adventurer Killer," for which a bounty was to be paid this time, was suitable for such an achievement.

And ...... Erio, Gimla, and Wardy are not people who should be subjected to this kind of unreasonable treatment. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen them, and we haven't had that many conversations. But Erio and his friends were earnest adventurers, trying to save money for their sister in a world where racial discrimination is terrible. They were people trying their best to live in this unreasonable world. ......

Gimla was a good-natured person who was quick to say what was on his mind, but he knew that behind his words and actions, he actually cared for his fellow workers.

Wardy was a man of few words and hardly ever heard his voice, but he knew that during the dungeon he was always vigilant about his companions to keep them out of danger.

He felt closest to Erio.

He was the brother of a younger sister, and he was especially like me in that he had a weakness for younger sisters.

I cherished Mya and even respected the way they all worked together to fight for her future.

Above all, I whispered in a low voice.

If we had met in a different way, I thought we could have become friends. ......

I have a mission of revenge that I must accomplish and a mission to find out the truth about 'why people are killed just for not being a master.

But apart from that, I felt a certain affinity for them.

If only I had met them somewhere in my peaceful days back then when I was just a commoner, regardless of revenge.

I thought that perhaps we could have been what I would have called friends.

But that wish is nothing more than a fleeting bubble.

Dear Mr. Wright, ......"

Nemmu unintentionally blurts out my real name.

She holds her chest with both hands as if her heart is being gouged out with a knife, and tears well up in her eyes.

It seems that Nemmu is emotionally affected by my sadness, and is using it as her own pain.

I let out a voice, letting the magma-like emotions welling up from the depths of my heart to dispel Nemmu's sadness.

I'm going to capture him, turn him over to the Adventurers' Guild, and invite the intervention of the elven royalty to create the possibility of an acquittal.　Oh, I won't do that. Yes, I would never capture him. I promise you that in my name, Light.

I clench my fists.

I clench my fists.

I clench my fists with the feeling that I will never forgive him.

I will definitely kill him. I'll get all the evidence together and make him testify, and then I'll make him suffer the pain that Erio and the others must have gone through, and I'll kill him with my own hands. I will definitely make him taste the retribution for the crime of targeting and killing Erio, Mya, and other adventurers!

I could almost hear the air in the room physically creaking with a 'squeak' sound.

My rising magma-like anger, my murderous intent, was overflowing from my body, interfering with the air and making it squeak.

If Mya had not been sleeping and had seen me directly, she would have stopped my heart.

That's how much the hooded elf species had caught me off guard.

I call her name without turning around.

Gold, Nemmu, do you understand?　We're going to find this 'adventurer-killer' before the other adventurers do.

Gold and Nemum immediately kneel down on the spot and look up each other's words.

Nemmu, with tears in her eyes and a face and voice as cold and beautiful as the best assassin's, offers her soul to the god to whom she looks up.

In the name of the Lord of Light, to whom I devote my absolute loyalty, Nemmu of the Assassin's Blade, I promise to find him like the hounds of hell!

He kneels and hangs his head like a model knight, offering his allegiance once again to the "Lord" whom he himself has truly agreed with and fallen in love with.

Gold, the Golden Knight. In the spirit of golden chivalry, I will defend with my shield any obstacle that stands in the way of my master's desire and supremacy, and with my blade I will strike down the obstacle!　Golden allegiance to the absolute King!"

I look down at the two kneeling in front of me and put on my "clown mask" again.

Let's go. Let's go kill the 'adventurer-slayer,' a foolish elf species that is proud and excited to be messing around with the race.

As you wish, Master Wright!"

As the Lord wills!

We moved quickly to seize the "Adventurer Killer.

Mya, who was sleeping on the sofa, was moved to the "abyss" by "SSR, transfer.

I simply told May about the situation, told her to treat me as a guest, and left her there.

She would not wake up for 24 hours with SR (Sleep), but it would not be good to leave her alone in the inn so that employees and others could come in and see her.

Therefore, he left her in the "abyss.

After completing all preparations, we headed for the dungeon.

The dungeon is open 24 hours a day.

Although few adventurers enter and leave the dungeon late at night, the number of adventurers is not zero.

We enter the dungeon as usual.

It was nighttime, and the stars floated beautifully inside the dungeon, as if they were synchronized with the outside world.

We move to a secluded spot.

"--'SSR Clairvoyant'."

SSR Clairvoyant" - a card that allows the user to discover and see distant objects desired by the user. However, it cannot see objects whose conditions are unknown, unknown to the user, or too far away.

Thinking of the information Miya had given them, they searched for the hooded elf that had attacked them with the "SSR Clairvoyant" card.

There they were. It seems to be returning to the place where Erio and the others are lying down and searching for something. Probably, they moved because they thought Mya might come back."

If you catch a figure, you don't have to worry about missing it.

I tell him again as if to pronounce a sentence.

We have found our prey. Let the hunt for the "Adventurer Killer" begin.
