(POV Treko)

After the failure with what happened with the prince before, I had hidden myself in a friend's guild in the capital of the kingdom. Since surely the people of the realm would think that I would surely try to escape from this place as soon as possible, they would surely have placed guards on the guild's branches to prevent me from escaping and strengthened the borders for the same reason.

Surely they would not think that I would still stay in the capital, so the best place to keep me hidden was practically in front of their noses, plus, having a few acquaintances here, that would still make things easier for me.

I just had to wait for the commotion to subside, and for me to recover from my injuries as well. After all, that time I also received pretty serious injuries from that damn prince... or more precisely, his damn weapon!! That f.u.c.k.i.n.g weapon ruined all my plans!!

Now I was better and the situation about my search by others has calmed down a bit, so I thought it was time to leave this place... they had put a great bounty on my head, so surely the most trusted friend could be tempted by it. Not to mention a person with whom I only had some ties from when I was the leader of my organization… it's a great shame how this one was eliminated for something that I couldn't get anything from.

... I really regret having done the things before. I was too hasty by wanting to get more strength and I should have continued to be patient.

Well, there's no point in lamenting about it and instead, I have to get going. Most likely the only thing that prevented the leader of this guild where I am from speaking, is that he understood very well that if he gave me up, then he would be the first one I will kill! It also seems like a great opportunity presented itself on his doorstep, so now he was more interested in this than the bounty on my head.

No wonder, if I had obtained this information before attacking the damn prince, then perhaps things would have been different now.

Another acquaintance of the leader of the organization in which I was hiding had come and told him that on the border where he had his headquarters, a small group had found a level 10 zone. The only problem was that apparently, these people had ties to an old woman who was on the 9th limit and so if she intervened, then it would be quite troublesome for them.

So because of that old woman, that group from the border came to give this information to this leader and get something in return.

Apparently, their assumptions were not wrong. While they began to gather information on that group, other organizations started an attack for that zone level 10, and the result of that was that they were annihilated in the following days...

Well, they were small organizations where the leaders had barely formed an energetic nucleus, so it is not a great surprise that these types of organizations disappear wanting things that are above their level. So this did not stop the plans of the leader of the organization "Demon ape killers", and only slightly readjusted his plans that they had at the beginning.

So instead of bringing all the members of this organization, the leader chose to just go with the elites and take the place. That time, he thinks that in this way the casualties would surely be much lower.

So the reason why I know all this is not because my friendship with this leader was great, but that he had asked me for help to take that place. Since I had lost my organization and couldn't stay in this Realm, so there was no one better person for him than me to join the plan and not want to fight for that place after...

Well, I couldn't complain about this, at the end of the day I will get some money to start somewhere else once we complete that and since that place is on the border, I will be able to leave this realm through that place with the help of this organization.

Also, since their group had grown in strength recently by now having 3 people in the 9th limit, once they got that place the other organizations would think twice about wanting to fight them to get that place off their hands.

These men may have just reached that strength, but that strength is still real and since this organization has lived in the capital for some time, they also have contacts with others that could help them and form an alliance to oppose others a little stronger than them.

…I can understand why the leader of this organization now had a big smile on his face all that time. Surely once they get that spot this organization would grow quite a bit in no time. Being honest, I was a bit envious of this man when I knew all that.

So it was until today that we had to fight to take this place. Now that man's smile had completely disappeared and I could only see anger and regret on his face... that kind of expression seems very familiar to me, it was the same one I saw when I saw myself in a mirror...

But how could he not have that kind of expression on his face? Now practically every important person in his organization was dead or dying on the ground...

Perhaps the only thing that he could see as somewhat optimistic in his situation after all this, it is that compared to the leader of the other organization who brought him the information from this level 10 zone, now that guy was probably dead or screaming since he was the one in charge of leading the attack in exchange for profit, but instead he was still alive and unhurt.

...although perhaps it is very likely he wishes that other leader was alive and standing by his side so that he could vent all the fury he felt at this moment on him. Thanks to that guy, now the entire organization "Demon ape killers" has been eliminated as well.

In fact, seeing the prince and the men I had fought within the capital standing on the wall of this place, I thought that this was a trap that one of those guys had set for me. But since one of them is now probably dead, and the other has lost the best men from his organization, then it is highly unlikely that this was so.

But even if it wasn't, I couldn't stay in this place any longer, and so I quickly tried to get out of here. It was a pity that there was someone who got in my way and prevented me from doing it...

"Who~ Damn! My clothes are on fire !! Damn sword, why don't you stop trying to burn your master?! "

… Seeing that it was a little boy who stopped me, I thought I could kill him and then be able to continue my escape without wasting any more time. Sadly, this boy turned out to have the strength of a person at the 9th limit and a magic weapon with him...

He is surely the little son of someone important who has lived his life full of privileges and without having to worry about anything. Someone very similar to that damn prince from before!

But I must say that this little boy bothers me even more than the prince… seeing how he tries to put out the flames on his clothes by leaving his weapon stuck in the ground, I feel like he is trying to make fun of me!!

Fine... I will vent all my resentment that I have against that damn prince on this boy! I will make him pay dearly for overestimating his abilities to oppose me!!

He certainly has the strength of someone in the 9th limit and in fact, I was a bit surprised by his strength, but surely that is only thanks to all the resources that his parents spent in him. Looking at how he brandished that sword, I can well understand that he doesn't have much experience fighting like someone who takes decades to reach that same level of strength he has.

His posture holding his weapon is full of openings as if he only had a pair of years using that weapon...

"Boy, I will make you understand that not because you have reached that strength easily, then you can compare yourself against people who fought all their lives to achieve it"

This time I don't attack him directly, and instead I run around him and start attacking him taking advantage of the openings he showed. So as a result of this, the boy is left with no choice but to be on the defensive using his sword or trying to dodge the edge of my sword.

…Things turned out a bit more difficult than I had imagined. Even though I had cornered the boy a bit, his senses seemed to be quite acute and he was able to prevent or stop all of my attacks that would have taken his life or seriously injured him.

Besides, that damn sword was really a nuisance...

"Alexander! We have come to help! "

"Master, let me help you against that old guy!!"

Without realizing it, I had wasted too much time and several girls came to where this boy and I were fighting… Damn! Things have gotten even more complicated… I didn't want to use this, but now I have no choice.

(POV Alexander)

"Rika and Leona… I really missed you a lot. Don't worry about me, you better go to where the other two girls who came with me were. "

After fighting against this man for several minutes, several girls come to where we were and the ones who get closer were those two that I recognize quickly and I ask them to go help the other girls.

I can't say that this fight was in my favor, in fact, that man had managed to make me several light cuts. As this man had said before, in this short confrontation with him I was able to realize that even though my strength, I was lacking in other respects compared to him.

…Especially in experience and skill with the sword. This man surpassed me in this and that is why he had managed to give me a bad time on several moments in this fight. If it weren't for the fact that my speed was a bit faster than his and that my body would sometimes react before I knew it, probably due to my [survivor] ability, then I would have already been defeated by him.

Well, even without the intervention of my [survivor] skill I still had some cards and weapons up my sleeve, so I wasn't that worried about me either, and instead I was even more uneasy about the two other girls who were also fighting.

In fact, it can be said that most of the injuries I have are thanks to putting my attention to where those two were to see how they were.

Mary didn't seem to have much trouble and seemed to dominate the other guy she had as her opponent, but Revy seemed to have a bit of trouble.

This was not as unexpected as this last depended on most of her weapons to fight compared to Mary that seemed used to fight physically, so it was good to see that Saeko and Scythe were to help her. They probably saw that, of those girls, she was the one who needed help more than the other girl and they quickly went to her.

"…Ok. Master"

"..."

Hearing my words, Leona sets her eyes on the man I was fighting, and then on the other two who were a little further away and also were fighting, then saying that, she begins to go where Mary was leaving behind Rika who was by her side.

"Alexander... let me help you since is better to capture that guy alive."

"…why?"

Rika who had stayed in the same place, suddenly tells me that. She wasn't a heartless girl to treat people's lives like they were nothing, but as a soldier, I knew she wasn't soft on her enemies to try to keep them alive at all costs, and so I was a little curious about his words. So when she tells me why this is so, I can't help but have a big surprise.

"That guy has a reward, and if we deliver him alive to the world guild then we will get 150 million G..."

" O-One hundred and fifty million?! Shit... old man! You are worth your weight in gold!!

W-Wait ... "

With Rika words, as if something clicked in my head, I quickly understand the little discomfort I felt when I killed the other man who had a 9th limit...

"Sh-Shit!! That other guy who I killed was surely worth a fortune as a slave too!! "

Yes! Previously I sold to a thief who was only in the 5th limit for several million and so it was logical that someone who was at the peak of strength in this world would have a higher value!! No… it wasn't just that guy! If I remember correctly, when I took a quick look at the men who are now in pieces, among them there were many who exceeded the 5th limit!!

"... I just turned several tens of millions of G's into a worthless pile of meat worthless."

"..."

Now I really wanted to cry and felt a great feeling of loss as I looked at the place that had been stained with blood and that also some screams of agony came...

"M-Maybe we can still save a few million G... Rika, you have to go and help those who are still alive!"

"..."

" Hihihi boy, you make even me feel a little sorry for those guys now."

"Oooh! Lena, it's good that you're here!! Do you have a potion to make a man's head regenerate?! I Killed a guy in ninth limit early and he would surely be worth a good amount as a slave ... sadly, he must be alive for that. "

"Certainly if you sell someone of that level as a slave, then you could get about 25 million… but what you ask is too much, boy. In the area's level 1, 2, or even 3 there are no such potions.... also, if for some reason you could have in your hands a potion that manages to do something like that, then it is sure that it would be worth much more than 25 million G "

Well ... I think that's true. I-I lost 25 million just like that… it even hurts a bit to think about it. Well, there is still something positive, more precisely, 150 million that are right in front of me!

"Haaa~..."

"Oh... this is not good, don't let that guy take that pill, boy!"

When Rika sighed because of my previous words while she has her eyes on me and I returned mine to the subject who I had been fighting, he had taken a pill to his mouth. Seeing this, Lena speaks to warn me to I try to stop him, but unfortunately it was too late to do anything.

"You all are morons! First you get in my way and then you all completely ignore me!! I'll make you all pay for your stupidity, and I'll start with you first, damn brat!! "

I was curious that it was that pill for Lena to get a little nervous, but seeing how his aura grew a few seconds after consuming it, I could give me an idea of the effects of it.

...It seems that the fact that I was distracted a bit due to the value that each of these enemies represented annoyed him a bit, and immediately after swallowing that pill, he charges while brandishing his sword against me again.
