Govagova raises his club and faces Yairo. “Come anytime!” “Yes. I can go anytime.” In the next moment, the battle begins. The first to move is Yairo. She must have used the skill « Super Acceleration », because her figure vanishes in an instant. Even with my own status, I can barely keep up with her movements with my eyes, so to Govagova it must truly look as though she disappeared. “W-Where did you go!?” Govagova panics. Meanwhile, Yairo has already moved behind him, into his blind spot. “Over here.” “What!?” Hearing Yairo’s voice from behind, Govagova hurriedly swings his club as he turns around. But it seems Yairo had already predicted his movement. She easily evades the club, grabs Govagova’s arm, and uses his momentum to perform a throwing motion. And what happens next? Strangely enough, Govagova’s body flies away at an unbelievable speed, disappearing into the forest. “Guaaaaaaah!” Only after knocking down several trees does Govagova finally come to a stop. “W-What just happened?...

Clouded skies covered the heavens, and violent winds raged. Wild Hunter, Gryfa looked down from above, while I stood upon the earth, our gazes exchanged in silence. Gryfa did not move at all. It fixed its stare solely upon me. Instead, its subordinate Griffons made the first move. Through【Wind Magic】, sharp blades of wind were generated one after another and launched toward me. With slicing gusts, countless wind blades came flying in. But I swung《 Sea Dragon Naval Aglyphs 》in my grasp and effortlessly cut them apart. The Griffons showed no sign of agitation. They had already shifted to their next attack. With【Wind Magic】, I was confined within a storm, my vision turning white. I spun my body and swung my dagger, dispersing the gale by sheer force, but the Griffons were already closing in from three directions; front, rear, and above. Without panic, I used【Warp】to evade the three-pronged assault. Then I invoked【Fire Magic】, creating towering pillars of flame. On top of that, I enhanced ...

After prevailing in the fierce battle against the Griffon, two new powers took root within me. ━━━━━━━━━━ 【Celestial Eye】Lv.8  • Projects the bird’s-eye view of the immediate landscape onto the mind.  • Effective range: area of radius of 4,000 meters     Dexterity +8 【Wind Sense】Lv.8  • Perfectly grasps the flow and movement of wind.  • Effective range: area of radius of 4,000 meters     Dexterity +8 ━━━━━━━━━━ First,【Celestial Eye】. The moment I activated it, my vision transformed. A scene unfolded in my mind as though I were gazing down upon the earth from high in the sky. I could even clearly see hunters desperately pushing their way through the trees below. For discovering distant bases or enemies lying in wait, this skill was ideal. However, it had a drawback. While viewing the bird’s-eye image, my real-world vision vanished. In other words, I would be completely defenseless during activation. If I misjudged the timing, it could cost me my li...

Traversing the Great Forest Autonomous District in the armored vehicle is going quite smoothly. Because it is a forested area, we cannot go very fast. However, the same would apply even if we were on foot. Since the Demon King’s Army occasionally passes through here, there are wide animal trails pressed down by constant use. By following those, we advance through the forest by the shortest and fastest route. Along the way, we spotted orcs and ogres, but perhaps intimidated by the unusual appearance of the armored vehicle, none of them chased us or attacked. By the afternoon, just as I began to think we might pass through the Great Forest Autonomous District without incident, we finally ran into the problem I had been concerned about. Suddenly, monsters leap out from the side of the animal trail, blocking the armored vehicle’s path. At a glance they appear to be goblins, holding spears and thrusting them forward as they threaten us. “Oi! Monster, stop!” One of the goblins shouts in brok...

With the sound of wind being torn apart above me, the Griffon dove straight down, cloaked in a raging tempest. Spiral air currents wrapped around it, its beak spinning like a drill. I crossed《 Sea Dragon’s Naval Aglyphs 》and received the Griffon’s strike. A sharp metallic screech echoed through the forest, and the ground beneath us collapsed inward. The impact was powerful enough to crater the earth… yet I had taken it cleanly. Our gazes locked, and for the briefest instant, surprise flickered in the Griffon’s shiny eyes. Its wings beat against the wind. The Griffon soared back into the sky, circling as if it ruled the storm itself. The next moment, it folded its wings, and plunged again. Gakiin! Beak and dagger clashed once more, wind pressure making the trees groan. But this time, the ground did not give way. The first strike had been reflex. This time, I had read its charge completely. The Griffon ascended again. Another straight dive? That won’t work twice. But its next move defied...

Early the next morning, we arrived at the Otogi Trading Company-affiliated commercial facility closest to the Great Forest Autonomous District. Since it is also near the front lines of the war with the Demon King’s Army, this place sells goods intended for the kingdom’s military as well. In other words, preserved rations and equipment necessary for camping. These are also convenient items for us as we prepare to enter the Great Forest Autonomous District. “Alright, let’s finish preparing here before we go. I’ll cover the expenses, so please don’t hesitate to buy whatever you need.” After saying that, I leave the preparations to the other four and head off to scout the Great Forest Autonomous District myself. After driving for a little less than an hour, the Great Forest Autonomous District comes into view. At a glance, it appears to be a relatively sparse forest, with enough room for a vehicle to pass through. There are also paths where grass has been pressed down, like animal trails, ...

The next morning. My various detection skills reacted, sensing someone approaching the room. I slowly opened my eyes. * Knock * knock * knock * A steady knocking echoed, and a familiar voice came from beyond the door. “Hunter Matsubara, it’s Jin. May I enter?” “Come in.” When I replied, the door opened quietly. In that instant, a faint metallic scent of blood drifted through the air. Jin twitched his nose slightly and narrowed his brows, but quickly composed himself and surveyed the room. “…Hunter Matsubara. Did something happen last night?” “I was attacked by a group of assassins dressed in black.” “A group of assassins… How many?” “Ten.” Jin placed a hand on his chin, a crease forming between his brows. “The security at this facility consists of B to A-Rank individuals. To slip past them and infiltrate… they must have been highly skilled.” “Before entering the room, they threw in pellets filled with deadly poison. My body felt numb, but I managed to repel them. They were thorough....

The day after the meeting. After finishing the transfer of duties and preparing to join up with the Demon King’s Army, it was finally time to depart. That said, organizing the employees from the defense division and bringing them along would take a bit more time. For that matter, Joan remained behind as the representative of that division and would join us later. The remaining four of us: myself, Yairo, Tio, and Tiana, would pass through the Great Forest Autonomous District under Ichiro Suzuki’s guidance and proceed ahead to the Demon King’s Castle to rendezvous. “Now then, are your preparations complete?” We all nod in response to Ichiro Suzuki’s question. “Yes. By the way, how will we be traveling to the Demon King’s Castle?” “I’ve heard that everyone here possesses quite high status, so I believe traveling there by dashing would be appropriate.” “That’s fine on our end, but will you be alright, Ichiro Suzuki-san?” “Yes. Even I have stats equivalent to an S-rank adventurer.” In that ...

Along the main avenue lined with bars, restaurants, live houses, and clubs, neon lights illuminated the damp night air, and there, I slaughtered the entire〈 Vultures 〉group. After that, I got into Jin’s car and headed back to the hotel. The hotel lobby was spacious, a chandelier hanging from the ceiling casting a dazzling glow. I received my room key at the front desk and took the elevator up to my room. Without even setting down my equipment or items, I entered the bathroom and twisted the shower handle. Warm water struck my shoulders, washing the scent of blood and sweat down the drain. As the heat enveloped my body, the tension of battle slowly began to dissolve. I dried myself with a bath towel, slipped into fresh clothes, and went back down to the lobby where Jin was waiting. Together, we headed to the restaurant attached to the hotel and were shown to a private room. Before the dishes were laid out, Jin spoke. “Hunter Matsubara, what are your plans for tomorrow?” “Like today, I p...

The Naitō Group refers to a faction led by Naitō Takashi, one of the summoned Heroes’ classmates who possesses the skill « Mind Domination ». They had apparently been making suspicious moves for some time, but now they had finally acted, of all times, at this very moment. “I see. What exactly have they done?” “Yes. Naitō managed to slip past our surveillance and leave the Runegard Kingdom, heading for the surrounding nations. As expected, he used his skill to infiltrate the governments of those countries and has continued making suspicious moves. … For now, it seems they can only manage intimidation tactics such as dispatching knight orders to the borders. But the Runegard Kingdom has entered a state of alert, believing it highly likely that they will eventually launch an actual armed uprising.” It seems the situation is even more serious than I had imagined. “In that case, the reason Shuri-kun isn’t here today is…?” “Yes. And once this meeting ends, we’ve also been asked to head immed...

Bars, restaurants, live houses, and clubs lined the avenue, soaked in a heat and neon glow different from the daytime bustle. But now, standing across that street were the members of〈 Vultures 〉, appearing to surround me. Jin, who possesses strength equivalent to S-rank and usually accompanies me as support staff, was waiting inside the shop. No need to worry about a surprise attack. I looked up at the night sky and exhaled. “【Phantom】” With that quiet murmur, my form dissolved like mist. 「 It’s【 Stealth 】! Light the《 Lantern of Unveiling 》! Focus forward! Once you find him, don’t care if your allies get caught in it, cut him down! 」 Coordinated movements, born of prior knowledge about me. But in the direction their eyes fixed upon, my figure was nowhere to be seen. 「 Gah…! 」 A short scream shattered the silence. Lantern light illuminated the fallen comrade. Yet they could not find me. 「 What!? Where is he!? 」 「 We should've already nullified【 Stealth 】!? There are no gaps in the l...

Immediately after promising our cooperation, I summoned the key figures of Otogi Trading Company. To be precise, not all of them are executives. Some are external collaborators, and some are simply people closely connected to me. However, there is no doubt that every one of them has a deep influence on the operation of Otogi Trading Company. “Thank you all for gathering here. Today, we have received new information regarding the trouble that has arisen within the Demon King’s Army; the rebel faction. … I would like to share that information and discuss how we should respond going forward.” As I speak, I look around at everyone gathered in the room. First are my wives. Since they all hold positions within the company now, their attendance is only natural. Next are the summoned Heroes who work at Otogi Trading Company. Because they occupy rather special positions, I always inform them whenever there are major developments within the company. And then there are Kanehama and Mimori. Ideall...

The place Jin drove me to was Shanghai’s hottest district, LOVEAND69 . A nightlife area lined with bars, restaurants, live houses, and clubs. Loud music spilled into the streets, and the open terraces were packed with customers enjoying drinks and food. I had come out of curiosity for the live houses and clubs, but first, food. I needed to deal with my hunger before drinking. We entered a random restaurant, and I pointed at items on the menu while Jin placed the order. My heart stirred as I watched the neon lights flicker beyond the glass, waiting for the food to arrive, when I sensed an ominous presence approaching from behind. I turned, and saw a glint at my throat. I understood instantly. A blade. Still seated, I grabbed the attacker’s wrist. He was fast, but I was faster. I seized the weapon and used【Warp】to move behind him. I drove the dagger into the back of his neck. The attacker coughed out, “ Gah… ”, as blood spilled from his mouth, and he collapsed. At the dull thud, every ey...

“It’s been a while, Otogi-san. I’ve come today to explain the current state of the Demon King’s Army.” The one saying this with a bow of his head is Ichiro Suzuki, the Chancellor of the Demon King’s Army. As soon as we received the report that a rebel faction had formed within the Demon King’s Army and that it had effectively split in two, he rushed here right away. “Thank you, Ichiro Suzuki-san. We had no grasp of the Demon King’s Army’s current situation on our side, so this helps a great deal.” “I’m glad to hear that. And to be honest, we were also hoping to request your assistance, Otogi-san. For that reason as well, I wished to report the details as quickly as possible.” I see. In other words, the situation within the Demon King’s Army must be quite serious. I escort Ichiro Suzuki into the reception room and receive his detailed report. “First, regarding the details of the rebel faction. Within the Demon King’s Army, there exists something like a subordinate organization under the...
