“Ma’am! The troops placed at the capital said that the enemy is currently heading here.” A knight reported to his commander. “Yes, I can see that from here. Is everyone in place?” The commander was a woman with long blazing red hair. Her eyes were small and sharp. “Yes ma’am! We are ready to defend the city.” The soldier replied. “Good. Cannons, take aim!” The cannons placed on the buildings locked onto their target, the swarm of monsters flying toward them. “Make sure to use explosive rounds!” The soldiers in charge of the ammo did one final check before affirming it with the one manning the cannon. The commander held her right hand in the air as a sign to hold fire. She waited for the monsters to get closer. It was to make sure they entered the firing range of the c

Metil was standing beside the table set that Marlin created from earth. Marlin had already left earlier and only he stayed. The reason for that was the two presences that they detected earlier. Marlin didn’t know who these people were, but Metil did. “Why are you here, baron?” Metil mumbled to himself. The presences were still quite far away so Metil had some time to collect his thoughts. Of the two people that were approaching, the baron himself was not there. These two were just the people that always came to collect the monthly payment for the owner of the land, Baron. Metil had collected some information on them. Jin and Fin, they were identical twins that were also highly skilled in combat. They were from the slums and had to survive by stealing. They had fought and struggled to live, and they had learned to fight from that. When they g

In the middle of the battlefield that took place on the East Desert of San Coro, just on the Tiber-San Coro border, a man wearing a dark green cloak with black outfit was facing a heavily armoured skeleton with a large shield and sword, a death paladin. The man facing the skeleton had a sword in his right hand. The hood on his head covered a part of his face, but a pair of green orbs were glowing under the shadow of the hood. “Alright then, let’s go!” The man’s foot pressed deeply into the sand as he pushed himself forward and threw sand in the air in the process. The man launched himself toward the death paladin. The large, armoured skeleton planted its shield into the sand, preparing to receive the Hunter’s attack. Too bad for it tough- “Hmph!” The Hunter jumped into the air, over the death paladin and landed behind it. He readied his s

(What is this?) Akame thought. The world around her was seemingly moving so slow. She was actually currently cutting a two horned demon in half, but even the motion of her blade was slow. The screams and yells around her were echoing slowly. Her bright red eyes left a trail of light behind as she moved. The demon in front of her was spewing blood as her single blade sword was cutting through the middle of it, but Akame did not care about that. The sight of blood and being covered in it was normal for her. What was itching her mind was- (Why is it so boring?) She was bored. The enemies she faced were so easy. Too easy. (Everything is so weak. So slow. Is this really all the Scarlett Army has to offer?) How many hours has it been? How many monsters has she killed? How many fellow warriors had died? How many times has she swung her blade?

Skeletal dragons were flying all over the sky, creating a looming shadow across the desert as if clouds were passing by. The soldiers in the desert already had their hands full with the zombies and skeletons. When the bone dragons came, it was just utter chaos. Black flames were spewed out of the dragons’ mouth and they also engaged in a melee against the soldiers. The average soldiers could not even land a hit on the dragons and the army was slowly being pushed back. The zombies and skeletons advanced behind the bone dragons. “Fall back! Regroup!” A general on the field ordered his soldiers. The soldiers followed his order and fell back. Most of the Hunters also joined in their retreat. Some of the Hunters intercepted the dragons and held them back. Bone dragons were S class monsters. By theory, it would take a Champion ranked Hunter to take them down or several of the mid ranks. These Hunters braved t
