Chapter 25

” Where will you go Blood Dagger? ”

” I’m not sure. I will need to consult with my clan members for a bit. ”

” It seems that you’ve already decided. ”

” To be honest, I am still deciding. Blood Dagger. It would be best if our decisions coincide, but if not, then there’s no helping it.

Frankly, Goff clinging onto me to stay together would have been an enjoyable sight to see, but the situation didn’t transpire as such. The probability of Goff going to the Minotaurus of the Great Prairies, or the Ogres of the Jungle is high. The large frames of the two clans suit well with Goff’s clan extremely well. Personally, I would recommend the minotaurs that are known to be milder than the fierce ogres. I thought that Goff would become much more stronger by reducing his warlike personality a bit.

From his personality, the chances of him selecting the ogre side was high, but intervening in this situation would be inappropriate of me.

Seeing that the conversation between us looked enjoyable, he furtively approached and opened his mouth.

” Our Darkmoon clan will head East. ”

” East would be . . . ”

” We will depart together with the Storm Shadows. ”

The swamps in the East. Though I’m not precisely sure of the classes, but somehow, hints of rogues rise from it. The Darkmoon’s shadiness matches very well with them I thought, so it was to be expected. Darkmoon looked up at me and with a smile on a very uncomfortable expression, he spoke once again.

” So, the Storm Shadows would like you to move together with them. I’m talking of you Blood Dagger. ”

” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ”

It seems that Darkmoon was shady as well. To be offered this proposition, it was obvious that I wouldn’t select this instant. So, I decided to reply to Darkmoon with a suitable line.

” Tell them I’ll think about it. ”

” Tch. Alright. ”

I began to feel a bit envious of Darkmoon being ‘ certain ‘ of the path he chose. As for me, I know too much information, so it was rather greatly intervening with choosing a specific place.

The first thing to consider was that since ‘ I had returned to the past, ‘ I know a few Named Monsters. Of course, there’s an extremely fast troll to the East, and there was also a story of a werewolf who killed two 1st class Summoned simultaneously in an instant to the North. Even though it’s a rumor by story, as someone that is very curious, I know these kinds of information in the back of my head.

Of course, the monsters I heard were in clans or chiefs the majority of the time, but there were also some that didn’t apply to that.

From my memories, at a small city to the East were Green Skins enslaved by the humans. At around five years before my death, I heard that the human city was in complete chaos.

Of course the event was induced by the slaves. Of course I don’t know the name, but apparently it was a troll shaman who led the rebellion in creating large havoc in the city.

Soon after, they were killed by the humans from the East, but the force that they displayed became a significant shock that became well known for quite a long time.

There was a different one 8 years ago. There was a Orc Hunter who did not live in a particular tribal life, but this orc always had on a draped white wolf leather as the orc killed all the humans in sight.

He would breathe his last after being pierced by the spear from the Queen of the North.

Hopefully, if things go well, I had high hopes of recruiting him into our clan. Due to this, I had no choice but to ponder a bit longer. Anyhow, thanks to this roughly known information, I was able to completely exclude the choices of living with the Minotaurus Clan, as well as the Ogres. Just because there was no formalized growth tree of these high-ranking species doesn’t mean that they were necessarily strong, but naturally, the Ogres and Minotaurus were definitely recognized to be one of the stronger monsters in this world.

Thanks to them, the humans won’t usually invade into the territorial areas they usually live in unless they are strong enough. In order for me to engage in many battles, the thicker the shield, the more harmful it would rather be.

Also, their lifestyles didn’t match with mine from the start. I’m not sure of the Ogres, but the arrogant Minotaurus were definitely not suitable to my tastes. I had no thoughts of becoming a cow.

To be honest, the most alluring option was to go west to the Green Goblin Clan to find Choi Seulgi, and kill the Saint Sword including Shin Duk-ho, that bastard.

Even Jung Hayeon, once a human, revealed her intention to leave everything to me. Just in case, I asked the other clan members on their opinion, but their reaction was much more of a sight.

” For Blood Dagger ! ”

” I will follow Blood Dagger ! For Blood Dagger ! ! ”

” For Blood Dagger ! ”

By asking for opinions without hesitation, it only solidified my position as the leader that much more. Other than the Darkmoon Clan, Goff Clan, and our Blood Dagger Clan, all the other chiefs disbanded their clans and decided to join the others, so it was rather a relief that this kind of response transpired, but this blind following of one person was definitely dangerous. It was because I was not perfect.

Thanks to that, I began to be more attracted to the East where the Slave Shaman is and the Orc Hunter of the North. It is funny to mention this, but I really needed another honest clan member who would disagree with me.

Not only that, we don’t even have a shaman in the clan. That honey-like proposition of going together with the Storm Shadows slowly creeped into my mind as my heart leaned to the swamps of the East. As such, with my eyes open, I stayed up the whole night thinking.

I won’t be able to deal with you. Jung Hayeon started the day with a very serious look, but this situation was much more urgent. Once it was morning, everyone like yesterday began to convene, and after finishing the introductions of bowing with our hands on our chest, we were able to face Agar.

” Tell your brothers of your decision. ”

The first one to open his mouth was Goff Clan’s Goff.

” Our Goff Clan, we will go together with the Ogres of the Jungle. ”

It seems he chose to release more of his wild nature than suppress it. Personally, it was unfortunate, but it wasn’t a bad selection. Probably, it wasn’t just Goff, but the selection of all of his clan members.

Naturally, I became curious of Goff’s appearance three years from now. The Goblin Elder’s turn was next.

” Our Darkmoon Clan, we will go together with the Trolls of the Swamps. ”

The Goblin Elder was going together with the Storm Shadows he spoke of yesterday. Storm Shadow and Darkmoon greeted each other with their hands on their chests, and soon Chief Patriarch Agar gazed at me as he opened his mouth.

” How about you, Blood Dagger Clan? ”

Looking on at the clan members on the right side of the Great Patriarch, I slowly opened my mouth. Everyone started to pay attention, and soon, had surprised expressions.

” Our . . . Blood Dagger Clan will . . . . ”

TL Afterword

NO GOFF FOR THREE YEARS?!?! Preposterous! Larcenous ! No difference from murder ! I demand justice ! ! !

P.S. Named monsters?! (*drools). I hope MC can recruit some of them into his clan and make them lieutenants or something. Just the thought of it makes me so excited for what will happen later on! And that Orc Hunter + Slave Shaman. I’d love to see them and their personalities ! (Btw, how dare those humans enslave those cute Green Skins!)

Comment: Yeah. I’m a bit baffled by why the author chose to singularize ‘fang’ for the Green Skins. I usually imagine there being two, but the author mentions them as singular so I’m assuming his imagination of orcs differ from mine.

Notice: This chapter along with two more this weekend are compensation for the releases that I missed last week. Just think of them as compensation bonuses hehe ???? As for SoD, I will get back to it soon enough~ Oh and thank you to my proofreader for checking all of these chapters once again. Such a quick editor!
