Chapter 404 City Of Adventures [Pt 5]

"W-what did you just say?" New novel chapters are published on

Sango's face seemed to depict a fair bit of shock as soon as he heard the response of the stranger in black. His brows were raised in genuine surprise.

"You heard me well enough. Step back if you know what is good for you."

More surprise filled Sango's face.

"Do you... not know who I am? Who we are?"

"How would we know that? We just got here." The response from the hatted man made Sango nearly frown.

Surely, his name was known even beyond the confines of the City. Any aspiring Adventurer would know the name of one of the strongest Adventurers in the City, as well as the top Party in all of the City.

Yet, none of that recognition seemed to be coming from the fellow before him.

The girl beside him also said nothing. She just stood there like a statue, almost as if she wasn't witnessing anything that was happening.

'Do they both not recognize me? Are they messing with me, or...?' Sango's thoughts trailed.

The cackles of his subordinates brought him back to reality, though, as they started making fun of him.

"Seems like your popularity has plummeted, Sango!"

"Being Rank 7 is apparently not enough for the newcomers to recognize you!"

"Pfft! You're not gonna let it slide, are you?"

At this point, Sango couldn't help his frown. He raised his voice at the drunks that he called subordinates.

"Would you stop already? You guys are already drunk!"

He was only met with more ridicule.

"We're drunk? Look who's talking, pfft!"

"Maybe we're all sober and you're the one that's drunk!"

"Hahahaaha!"

At this point, Sango slapped his hand on his face and stood upright, removing his face so close to the gentleman who stood before him.

"These guys are bumming me out..." He sighed.

Despite having lots to drink, Sango wasn't drunk in the slightest. He had his Barbarian genes to thank for that fact. Unfortunately, the embarrassments caused by his comrades was enough to wish that he wasn't sober.

"I-in any case, let's not waste any time and get to the point..." Sango pointed at the two, who patiently waited for him to recover from his mortification.

"You two should withdraw from the Heroic Rank Test!"

"No way."

"WHAT?!"

"I said... no way?"

"Why no way?"

"Because it's not possible?"

In response to this, the gentleman merely shrugged. "Now, if you'll excuse us, we'd best be on our way."

The dark coated man and his white-clad maiden walked past Sango in a calm and elegant stride.

But—

"Hold on..." Sango held the shoulder of the man, his frown deepening to a monstrous degree.

Sparks of lightning flashed in his eyes, and his muscles began to bulge to an unbelievable extent. Everyone who saw this took the hint and stepped back.

"It seems you weren't paying any attention to what I was saying..."

Sango until he became at least twice as tall as the man whose shoulder he held. His deadly gaze echoed violence, and his overwhelming power overflowed through all parts of his body.

"YOU WILL CHANGE THE RANK OF YOUR TEST."

"And if I refuse?" The man responded, his calm voice an antithesis to the rough echoes of Sango's growl.

Upon hearing this, the ebony giant grinned like a maniac and gave the only response he could render at this point.

"Then... you DIEEE!"

~BZZTTZZZ!~

Sango's hand crackled with electricity as it rushed towards the face of the stranger faster than the eye could process.

This blur of a fist was capable of breaking the toughest boulders and tearing apart buildings. Against a single man, it was overkill.

~WHOOOSH!~

The blow neared the target, and all closed their eyes, expecting hear the squishing sound of flesh.

What they heard, instead, was a slapping sound.

... Almost as if, somehow... the blow had been stopped by a palm.

All opened their eyes, and to their unanimous shock, that was indeed the case. Sango's blow was stopped by the white partner of the dark gentleman.

"W-WHAT ARE YO—!"

~BWOOOOOOSHHHH!~

Before Sango could even say anything, an invisible gale of wind blew him away, sending him flying far away.

... Perhaps into oblivion.
