Lily's Observatory

Having entered the SS-Rank dungeon, we began the serious levelling process. I stepped forward alone, facing Echidna. Recognizing my presence, a ferocious light appeared in Echidna’s eyes. GRAAAAAAH! She unleashed【Roar】to force her prey to its knees. Then, she invoked【Fire Magic】, causing countless flaming blades to emerge from the magic circles that appeared all around us. The « Fire Swords » were released all at once. I would have been fine even if I simply let them hit me, but the 3 people behind me would be in danger. I immediately activated【 Magic Absorb 】, completely neutralizing the « Fire Swords ». GRAAAAAAH! Echidna shrieked with【Roar】once again. This time, a magic circle spread across the sky, and a rain of lightning came pouring down. I used【 Void Magic 】integrated into【 Axiom 】and sent every bolt of lightning raining down straight back at Echidna. Having taken damage from her own magic, Echidna glared at me with a sharp gaze. Realizing that her magic attacks were meaningles...

For the leveling of the Clanmasters of〈 King of Swords 〉,〈 Ifrit Legion 〉, and〈 Valkyries of Restoration 〉, we met at the entrance to the SS-Rank dungeon and immediately stepped inside. The scenery changed completely. Beyond the rugged, rocky ground stood a gigantic volcano that seemed to pierce the heavens, its summit glowing a vivid red. The sky was covered by thick, overcast clouds, thunder continuously roared in the distance, and violent winds howled mercilessly, strong enough to make me instinctively shield my face. Before us stretched a field that seemed to embody the threats of a natural disaster. “Th-This is… an SS-Rank dungeon…?” The Clanmaster of〈 King of Swords 〉, Suzuki Tensei, raised an arm to shield his face from the raging wind and muttered as he looked around. “To make us fight in an environment this terrible… Are they really expecting anyone to conquer this?” (E/N: Directed towards the Dungeon Master or the God.) “…It's incredible.” The Clanmaster of〈 Ifrit Legion ...

After finishing my examination of the newly acquired Unique Skills and Divine Artifacts, I decided to fulfill the Soul's Oath I had made with the Clanmasters of〈 King of Swords 〉,〈 Ifrit Legion 〉, and〈 Valkyries of Restoration 〉before challenging America’s SS-Rank dungeon. I had exchanged contact information with them for this very occasion, so I immediately called each of them. I had expected at least one of them might be unavailable since they might be in the middle of a dungeon conquest or had other business to attend to, but fortunately, everyone happened to be free. Consequently, we decided to meet at the SS-Rank dungeon. Since I had visited the place once before, I used【 Void Magic 】to arrive first. With nothing else to do, I searched social media for mentions of myself, and before I knew it, I had been given all sorts of nicknames. Because I had single-handedly defeated the army of several million ordinary people and Hunters, as well as America’s foremost and ultimate forces...

After finishing breakfast, I left the Marquis’ residence and headed into the city. My first destination was the Adventurer Guild. According to the Marquis, the Guild in Raghantz’s territory was operating normally. That said, the movement of both adventurers and merchants was heavily restricted, so the branch’s operations were apparently being affected to a considerable degree. As far as I could tell from walking through the streets, the people living there were quite lively, a stark contrast to Mekkela. However, I occasionally saw people who appeared to be soldiers transporting goods on carts, giving the place an unmistakable sense that preparations for war were underway. When I entered the Guild, around a 100 adventurers were milling around the lobby. It seemed like a lot compared to the size of the Guild, but perhaps adventurers from the Capital were flowing into this area. Dunken had mentioned something along those lines in our conversation. I went to an empty counter and spoke to ...

“I see. So you are an adventurer who is particularly trusted within the Adventurer Guild. It makes sense that the Guildmaster Dunken entrusted Ryūsha-sama to you. Still, it seems you have experienced quite a few twists and turns on your way here.” Marquis Raghantz said that as she leaned back against her backrest. I was currently sitting on a sofa in the reception room, facing the Marquis. Arslin was seated beside me, of course, while the butler stood by the Marquis’ side. I hadn’t expected to be released immediately, but the Marquis had questioned me about even the smallest details of what had happened. I thought I would arouse suspicion if I tried to conceal anything, so I honestly told her everything from my time in Orz to my arrival here. Both the Marquis and Arslin seemed quite surprised. “It is difficult to believe, but I understand the circumstances now. I shall also thank you for bringing Ryūsha-sama this far.” “If I’m going to receive a reward, I do have a favor to ask.” “What...

“Ah, I see. Then you took quite a dangerous role in all this, Soushi-dono. Thank you for bringing Ryūsha-sama this far. I’m sure His Excellency the Marquis will reward you for this as well.” Inside the swaying carriage, Arslin, the leader of the escort, bowed his head. He was a man in his 30s , an adventurer with the air of a seasoned warrior, his hair cropped short. According to what I had heard, he was working directly under the Marquis as one of his agents. However, neither his intelligent eyes nor his manner of speaking seemed like those of someone from a commoner background. Perhaps he had once been a nobleman or something along those lines. We were currently riding in a carriage toward the capital of the Marquis’s territory. Incidentally, this carriage had belonged to the slave hunters. Fortunately, no one had been imprisoned inside, but the presence of restraints such as shackles stored in a wooden crate made its original purpose obvious. “I only carried out a request from the G...

Having finished examining the details of the newly acquired Unique Skills, I moved on to examine other spoils of war: the Divine Artifacts. First up was the straight sword possessed by the swordsman who launched the initial attack. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 《 Raikiri 》  ・Type: Straight Blade  ・Effects: 　 ① The lightning wreathed blade scorches and slices through the target; 　 ② Indestructible; 　 ③ Strength +80, Dexterity +80  ・Rank: Mythical  ・Condition: Good ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Combined with his Unique Skill【 Zero Draw • Atomic Oblivion 】, he must have been able to cut down any enemy with a single stroke. But this time, he had picked the wrong opponent. This is actually my first blade-type Divine Artifact, so I'll gladly put it to use. (E/N: Just fyi, sword and blade are different; Swords are non-Oriental, double-edged weapons of various sizes, e.g. longsword, dagger, falchion, cutlass, etc. Blades on the other hand have a single edge, e.g. katana, uchigatana, cho...

After walking along the highway for about 30 minutes ; “Young Lord Ryūsha, are you all right? Is it uncomfortable?” I made sure there was no one around before speaking to the backpack on my back. “I’m fine, thank you. Also, I think it would be better if you stopped calling me ‘ Young Lord ’. Just call me Ryūsha, and speak casually please.” He had a point. If the way I spoke to him gave away that Ryūsha was someone of high standing, that would be a problem. “All right. I’ll speak normally until we reach the Marquis’ territory. We’ll take a break after walking a little farther, so hang in there until then.” “Understood. I’m actually quite comfortable, so there’s no need to worry.” Hearing that, I quickened my pace a little. The road I was walking along now was the same highway I had traveled after coming out of the『 Gate to Another World 』. Apparently, if I went in the opposite direction from the way I had come, I would reach the Marquis’ territory. I had been told it would take 3 days ...

The war between a〘 Regalia 〙and America, which broke out at the entrance of the S-Rank dungeon where the Earth Dragon appeared. An army of more than several million ordinary people and Hunters,〈 Mighty Warriors 〉, in addition to two〘 Regalias 〙. They pooled all of their forces together in an attempt to take Hunter Matsubara's life, but were thoroughly defeated in return, and America completely lost its position as a major Hunter nation. Having lost both its leading force and its ultimate force at the same time, America’s voice in the international community became virtually nonexistent. Among ordinary people and Hunters, many welcomed the overturning of the old order of “ violence is justice ”. On the other hand, there were also many who harbored an unease that could not be dispelled. There was no denying that〈 Mighty Warriors 〉and〘 Regalia 〙had stood as “ symbols of power ”. From here on, who would protect them from the threats posed by other countries and monsters? As the dawn of...

I was led by Mr. Dunken to the guild’s underground warehouse. As we descended the stairs, we came to a large room where numerous wooden crates were stacked up like a mountain. When he moved several of the crates, a small space surrounded by boxes appeared. It seemed to have been turned into a little room, with a simple bed, desk, and chair inside. A single boy was standing in the room. He was an exceptionally handsome boy with neatly trimmed silver hair and a refined-looking face. He appeared to be around 15 years old. Although he was dressed like an ordinary commoner, his bearing made it obvious that he came from the upper class. Considering the situation, he was clearly someone with “ complicated circumstances ”. “Ryūsha-sama, sorry to keep you waiting. It seems we’ve finally found an adventurer we can entrust this to.” When Mr. Dunken spoke to him, the boy gave a small nod. “Someone who will take me to the Marquis?” “That’s right. He’s currently one of the most trusted man in the A...
