Book 2: Chapter 10

Journey to the Capital

The rank 4 adventurer party, Mercenary of Dawn.

The members that formed it are a rank 4 warrior, Dagget. Male, 31 years old. Blue eyes and red hair.

Rank 3 heavy warrior, Randy. Male, 29 years old. Brown eyes and thinning blonde hair.

Ran 3 scout, former hunter Dankan. Male, 30 years old. Blue eyes and black hair.

Ran 3 sorcerer, Grinda. Light and water elements. Female, 26 years old. Black eyes and brown hair. Daggets lover.

They are my targets. They embezzled the requested item that they should collect and ran away with a necklace that is a family heirloom. The noble that they tricked requested the assassin guild to assassinate them and recover the necklace.

Family heirloom huh

I unconsciously touched my mothers memento inside the amulet pouch on my chest.

If Im in opposition against the assassin guild, there is no need for me to do this work, but with a contact of the guild coming to keep watch, I cant slack off.

Im glad that they are scoundrels.

The Mercenary of Dawn headed to the large scale dungeon near the capital because although their party has few members for their rank, they have good balance and depending on their equipment, it will be possible for them to stay in the dungeon for a long period.

It will be difficult for me to chase after them alone if they dived until the deep floor. To deal with them safely, I should deal with them in the capital or in the city at the south where the dungeon is located, but if I cant catch up to them there, then my only choice is to aim when they return for resupply.

Even so as expected, the most solid plan will be to do it inside the dungeon.

The public order in the capital is too good, so it will be dangerous in a different sense there. But if its in the dungeon, my life will also be at risk, but the same will also apply to my targets. An opening will show more often the more dangerous it is.

Its my bad habit to think too much about a lot of things. But, if I imagine various situations and prepare countermeasure beforehand, Ill be able to take action immediately when things actually happen.

Even so right now I should take action first rather than thinking too much about things that are still far off in the future.

My assumption and hypothesis will change completely depending on the environment and situation at the actual site. I need detailed information in order to heighten the precision of my thinking and assumption too.

.

I stayed in the neighboring city of the northern frontier districts branch for three days to prepare using the adventurer guild and the shops in the city before departing to the capital.

I couldnt find out who my contact will be even after investigating during those three days. I think they will contact me at the actual site but, what I wanted to know is how many contacts there will be.

As long as they are there, I wont be able to take any strange action. Even if I dispose the contact, but if there is more than one contacts and I let them get away, my betrayal will be exposed. I can only pray that at the very least the contact is someone who I can defeat easily.

There are two routes to go to the capital from this territory of Count Heydale.

First is passing through the main route along the sea from the territory of Count Sentrea where I worked last time. Its the relatively safer road that Elena used before. And then the other route is going straight to the south from Dandall, through the valley of a mountain district. Its dangerous but I can arrive faster with this path.

If I used exclusive high speed carriage like Elena, I might be able to arrive faster using the main road along the sea. But, I will take one month by walking and riding the stagecoach stationed along the way. Its not like carriage cant pass through valley but, even so ordinary carriage and traveler doesnt pass there because of the bird type monsters frequent appearance in the valley.

Only a major company guarded by Dandalls garrison guards will pass through there once a month. Even commoner can come along if they buy the ticket that is issued by the merchant guild, but its really expensive. If one doesnt care about the required time, normal traveler usually will use the safe route.

But, the route Ill use is the dangerous valley. I intentionally choose the dangerous path in order to become stronger in short time.

The name Wind Bird isnt just for show. These things can use level 1 wind sorcery Wind Cutter.

Wind type sorcery has good speed and they are also invisible, so its hard to dodge, but my eyes that can see the color of magic particle can dodge as long as there is enough distance.

With the magic power value of Wind Bird, they can only fire once or twice at best. If they fired twice, they will run out of mana and their speed will drop drastically, so Wind Cutter can be said as the Wind Birds trump card.

One Wind Bird ran out of patience seeing me continuously evading and attacked me while firing wind sorcery from close range.

Shield

A shield of light around thirty centimeter in size is created on my left hand. I made the Shield came into contact with the thickest part of the approaching green colored magic particles and parried it by holding the Shield diagonally.

Without pause I cut the wing of the Wind Bird that came straight at me with my black knife. Then the remaining Wind Bird flew away to the sky to escape.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

The next moment, as though to replace the Wind Birds, a piercing cry reverberated through the valley.

Its unknown whether the Wind Bird escaped from me or got scared because this came. I heard the cry together with the sound of wings flapping. A black bird with huge body that reached four meters with its wings spread out swooped down as though to cut through the darkness of the sky.

Giant Crow Race : Large Bird Difficulty Rank 2

Magic Power : 69/73Stamina : 212/215

Overall Combat Strength : 145

The Giant Crow caused a gust of wind with its wings while heading straight at me.

I threw the pendulums in my hands in order to meet its charge. But, the pendulums blade only grazed its black wings a little. The intelligent Giant Crow saw that and directed its sharp talons toward me in ridicule.

Gua!?

In that instant, I took out a new pendulum on my palm and dodged the talon while winding the pendulum around the Giant Crows wing.

The Giant Crow flew to the sky in panic. I controlled the string with String Control and hindered it.

KUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

The Giant Crow shrieked angrily and flapped its wings to drag me to the sky along with the pendulums string.

But, I dont let it. I pulled the string even stronger to hinder its wings flap. I also quickly knocked the heel of my boots together so that blade shot out from it. Then I kicked it on the ground like a wedge.

The boots that I received from master is something that she used in the past. It has a mechanism in them. If they got impacted from a certain direction, small blades will come out from its front tips and the heel.

I fixed myself on the ground with the heel blades and pulled the string with my body reinforcement in full power throughout my whole body.

My rank on the whole is still rank 2, but several of my support skills has reached level 3. Using Magic Power Control level 3, I circulated mana through my whole body, and with Pressure level 2 I stopped the Giant Crows movement for just a moment

TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Even though I got dragged across the ground through the inertia that left the ground gouged, I used all my strength and slammed the fearfully screeching Giant Crow on the ground head first.
