Chapter 16: (1)

Kaiyan wanted to open the storage and check the reward right away.

But that place was a battlefield with countless monsters and soldiers roaming around.

Well I can check it later. It wont be too late, Kaiyan thought.

He calmed his excited heart, filled with anticipation.

The reward box wouldnt run away just because he decided to check it later.

What he was certain about was that the reward box should be at least Grade D or higher.

He couldnt defeat even one Minotaur, let alone ten or fifty. But getting an F or E grade reward? That was ridiculous.

Ahem! Are you the owner of this sword?

While indulging in pleasant imagination, the knight who defeated the Minotaur handed Kaiyans sword back to him and spoke.

Ah, yes! You looked in danger, so I threw it without thinking. I apologize if it was an unwarranted interference.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.

Hmm I see.

Judging by his expression, he seemed somewhat displeased about Kaiyan throwing the sword.

However, he didnt say much to his explanation that he did it to help.

In reality, his sword didnt do any good, but the fact that a common soldier tried to help a Knight was noteworthy.

We will assist the knights in attacking the monsters, Kaiyan said.

Do as you please, The Knight replied.

Perfect.

While recklessly rushing here, there were five additional monsters coming from behind. Now that Kaiyan had dealt with the Minotaur, it was time to receive help from the knights.

Now, show me your impressive skills, Kaiyan thought to himself.

Observing the approaching monsters, Kaiyan subtly hid behind the knight. He wanted to witness the true power of an Aura user, something that couldnt be compared to Uncle Jeff.

Roar! the monsters cried out.

Tsk, such measly monsters! the knight in front of Kaiyan swung his sword at them with an annoyed expression. However, even though Kaiyan was looking straight at him before he could even properly perceive it, the head of the Owlbear was split open and it fell to the ground.

But as it turned out, those knights were just as ordinary in the presence of nobles, much like Kaiyan and the other soldiers.

After todays battle, I, Tarien de Cheniavin, shall reward each and every one of you! It is I who will bestow the rewards! Hahaha! Tarien declared.

Tariens impromptu promise of rewards, though it failed to evoke any significant enthusiasm within Kaiyan.

Cheniavin Kaiyan muttered to himself.

But he was curious about the Cheniavin family that guy mentioned. Just what kind of family were they to send such a reckless fellow to the battlefield?

Whoaaaa!

Whoaaaa! Long live Tarien-nim!

Commander! Hooray!!

Thank you! Whoaaaa!

However, that was just Kaiyans thoughts.

The soldiers, except for Kaiyan, cheered and shouted as if about cursing Tarien a while ago.

Kaiyan understood their double standards. Unlike him, all they would gain on the battlefield was money.

If it were me before, would I have been as happy as them Maybe I should change my weapon once I receive the money.

Kaiyan raised the green-blooded sword and inspected it. It had chips all over it.

It seemed that the sword was gradually getting damaged as he forcefully pierced through the tough hide of the monsters.

If only I could use Aura.

If Kaiyan was an Aura user, he wouldnt have cared about the durability of the sword.

Aura not only enhanced attack power but also protected the sword.

While looking at the sword and pondering, someone placed his hand on Kaiyans shoulder.

Kaiyan! It was a good judgment.

Uncle Jeff!

When Kaiyan turned around, Uncle Jeff, who had split from them at the entrance, had joined the rest of the soldiers.
