Chapter 242 Arrival

Billy thought he was just going to get a cheap illusion that was easy to get bust of that Slime.

But it turns out he got a clone that looks exactly the same as Erend himself.

Erend's face and body were completely similar to what the Slime imitated.

That means, despite its simple form that only looks like a thick slimy thing. Slime is a powerful fantasy world creature.

It's just that he couldn't talk. But that wasn't really a problem because Erend also rarely spoke to people when he was at the military base.

The people there would most likely not suspect anything. They will only think of Erend as an arrogant and annoying prick. Which is something that doesn't really matter.

"Okay. If you really have to go now, you can go," Billy said.

Erend nodded. Then he ordered Tut, or whoever was there to open the Portal.

The portal opened shortly after without its hissing sound.

"I'll go."

Erend stepped into the portal. Billy watched Erend enter the Portal as usual.

He had forgotten how many times he had seen Erend disappear into the Portal to do business unknown to him in that other world.

The Portal disappeared a moment later. Leaving Billy with Slime who has turned into Erend.

Billy turned to the Slime-Erend.

"Let's work together well for the next three hours, Slime," Billy said.

The Slime-Erend looked like he wanted to say something. But Billy immediately stopped him before any sound left his mouth.

"Ah, you don't have to answer that. Come on out now."

Billy comes out with Slime-Erend.

Slime-Erend now has a straight face without emotion. Billy is a little worried about this disguise.

But, he will try to make this disguise work properly.

Because that is the least he could do to help Erend who was having a hard time fighting the terrible creatures on the other side.

Sigewulf swung his claws with incredible speed. He destroyed the Magic Shield that was protecting Mei who was sprawled on the ground.

Mei's body now has a long wound on the left side of her stomach.

She is indeed the fastest person at her party. However, Sigewulf is much faster than her.

Even with the Magic she uses to increase her movement speed, Mei can't match Sigewulf's speed.

When moving after her, Sigewulf emits a dark glow on his feet.

After the dark glow appeared, Sigewulf's running and movement speed increased many times. No nobody in her party can match Sigewulf.

The human Adventurers were now in a desperate state. Ro was trying to look after Zirles who was torn by claws after taking care of Goldid.

As the only healer in this party, Ro's task feels very heavy now.

Tears were already running down her cheeks since a few minutes ago. And now that things were getting worse, she didn't know what to do anymore.

Ena has also run out of her Magic.

Nelvad who usually always had something to turn things around in times of trouble now lost the strength to think when he saw his friends fall to the ground one by one.

Nelvad stared with empty eyes full of despair. He had not thought that the day would come when their powerful party would be slaughtered like this.

Because he was too immersed in his fear, Nelvad didn't notice that a Portal had opened next to him.

Erend stepped out of the portal. His eyes immediately caught a very terrible sight when he arrived.

"What a mess."

Erend found Nelvad fallen to his knees next to him. Seeing his face, he knew that Nelvad was in a state of fear.

Erend came closer to Nelvad and touched his shoulder.

"Hey, you can still move?" Erend asked.

The question made Nelvad look up in surprise. His face now was a mixture of despair and confusion.

"W-Who are you?" Nelvad asked with a trembling voice.

Erend chose not to answer that and said. "Go if you can still move. Get your friends out of here."

After saying that, Erend walked towards the black-furred Lycans who were staring at him.

Erend felt that Lycan was similar to the Lycan he killed a few days ago.

Sigewulf immediately felt a mysterious force that came suddenly.

His instincts immediately alerted him. His dark fur stood stiffly looking at Erend who was walking towards him.

'Who's he? Where did he come from?'

The question wasn't just on Sigewulf's mind. But the Lycans who had just been watching were thinking the same thing.

Erend's presence here is something strange and confusing. Coupled with his aura that feels pressing.

Grim looked at Erend with a wary gaze. He had a bad feeling instantly.

Grim growled, but he didn't try to warn Sigewulf. Grim felt curious.

The man's clothes looked foreign and he had come suddenly from the Portal. Those two things were already something strange.

'I'll see how it goes first.'

If indeed the man proved to be dangerous, then Grim felt that he should disobey Sigewulf's orders and attack with the other Lycans.

Erend stopped walking a few meters in front of Sigewulf.

"Get away from that woman and get out of here. Then I will let you live," Erend said.

Erend heard the growl of the Lycans lining up at the side.

Then he heard a louder growl from the Lycan in front of him.

'I know this isn't going to work. But, I don't need to kill them all. I just have to warn them to get scared and get out of here.'

"What you think? I'm giving you a chance to live and so this can be over quickly," Erend added.

Sigewulf immediately felt his anger rising.

Earlier, he had felt quite delighted when playing with the human Adventurers' lives.

But now he felt his rage rise again after hearing Erend's words and attitude that belittled him.

Sigewulf emitted a dark glow on all four of his legs. Then in the blink of an eye, Sigewulf was right in front of Erend.

[ Skill activated: Dragon Scale (Lv.5) ]

*BUAGGHH!*

Sigewulf swung his claws at Erend and threw him into the air.
