Chapter 49 - Unexpected Trump Card “Tch…!” I clicked my tongue as I leaped backward. I actually knew what I was facing, though it was my first time actually seeing it: the black dog-like beast was a “Garm”, which normally dwelled in the ancient ruins known as “Dungeons”. It wasn’t nearly as strong as a Dragon or a Hydra. Its fangs were powerful enough to pierce armor, however, and its thick hair protected it from most bladed weapons, making it a natural enemy of adventurers. “Lord…

Chapter 56 - The Abandoned City “Mngh…bwaah!” During our dive towards the city, I felt like we broke through a sort of thin film. I crash-landed on the ground, drawing deep breaths to finally fill my lungs with air. “Haah..haah…there’s…air…?” “Haha, yes! Rest easy my boy, you can breathe here!” “Air…at the bottom of the sea? How the hell…?” “It’s thanks to a kind of barrier! Basically we’re in a different world from the outside!” “You’re screwing with me…what…

Chapter 50 - The Final Move “Haah!!” “Ooh!?” It was definitely a sharp slash, but Drake managed to dodge at the last moment, twisting his body out of the blade’s path. “Tch…you and your goddamn instincts…!” “Ha! Hahaha!! Your luck is even more amazing, boy! To think you’d have a trump card like this!” I continued attacking, before Drake could recover his balance, but he dodged every single strike with superhuman-like agility. “Please…! Help my…

Chapter 57 - Gods and Evil Deities “How the hell did you survive a wound like that? And where should I cut you to kill you for good?” Drake responded by shrugging his shoulders, as if what I asked had nothing to do with him. “Look, I didn’t survive because I wanted to. The curse of immortality put on me by the fallen god won’t let me rest in peace, even after going through something like this. Even if I starve myself till I become bones, or I am ground into dust, I end up being revived,…

Chapter 45 - Protests, Excuses, and Intercourse After the midnight meeting was done, I returned to the ship, anchored at the port. In the captain’s cabin I used as a bedroom, Sakuya and Sue were on the bed. They were both fully naked, for some reason: Sue was lying down, as if in defeat, and Sakuya was on top of her, arms crossed with pride. “I have won today. Technique proves superior to power.” “...really. Good for you.” Sakuya had exacted her revenge, apparently. Despite her usual lack of…

Chapter 46 - Five in the Forest, Before the Raid The night of the following day… I stepped inside the forest close to the palace where Drake usually resided. The sky was heavy with clouds, hiding the moon and stars: the perfect weather for an ambush. “Which is all well and good…but why are you here, again?” When Sakuya and I reached the site the minister Lauros had told us about, for some reason Sue, Roh, and even Xiao Mao came after us, despite not being of any help in a fight. “Ah, I thought I…

Chapter 40 - Departure at Nightfall We waited for the reconstruction of the port to be completed to board the ship “borrowed” from the pirates and leave Brutos. We left before dawn, hidden in a cloak of darkness: if we were seen trying to leave the town, we were definitely going to be stopped. “Sneaking out in the dark like this makes me feel like a criminal…well, we’re technically pirates right now, so I really can’t complain, can I...” Rocked by the waves, I took a deep sigh. A parade in…

Chapter 47 - Fallen Man We arrived at the palace’s rear entrance and entered without a word from the guards. Following the light of the torches hanging on the walls and Sue’s directions, we proceeded deeper inside. Samuel, the minister, had probably made sure to keep the guards out: we did not encounter even one on our way to the throne room. And the exact moment we arrived in front of the door, a powerful explosion went off inside. “This is…gunpowder!” I opened the door, leading the…
