I nodded and added that i had no idea on why the World's Will declared me as such but yeah i was the new SSS Rank individual which the notification of the World's Will was about but i believe that was only partly due to the Obsidian Armor skill that i got from the Goblin Lord adding another great boost to my strength .
But that wasn't enough to ease his shock in any way as even when he is down on the ground, i was able to see his body shaking and twitching as if was unable to control it .
I waited for him for a bit to come back to his senses , the scene became unusually quite now that even the crashing sounds coming from the kitchen was finally subsiding and stopped for good , luckily i didn't have to wait him for long , since he stood up and clean the debris that was on him and began to take a seat at the bar and mentioned for me to join him .
I sat beside him and he directly asked me if i wanted to tell him any more shocking news and i actually still haven't really said anything that i considered shocking yet, but the incident with that man called Blade came to my mind but i was a bit hesitant to talk about and my hesitation was clearly shown on my face , but i guess he misinterpreted my expression to be worrying for his sake since he said :
Don't worry about me and just say whatever that you want to me to know about .
I thought here goes nothing and began saying :
I encountered that Blade who you warned me about earlier yesterday and it wasn't a pleasant encounter in the slightest, shortly after i finished dealing with that Goblin Lord i began to head towards the next safe zone and that's when i came close to his party camping in the Forest .
And he was there as well telling them about their next target and unluckily for them i was able to find out their next target was none other than me, i first thought they were robbing the newbies or something of sorts and was about to leave them be .
But then they caught my attention by releasing a bit of bloodlust and killing intent so i decided to infiltrate that camp of theirs and know what exactly were they after .
They were plotting to lead me into a trap they setted beforehand and created a scenario in which i will be forced to leave all my precious equipments in their hands for safekeeping, but in truth i will be just giving all the valuable things on me to them and even serving those things on a silver plate .
As for my final fate , well the trap they were setting for me has only one end for who fell in and that was death .
So he was even more of a jerk than i thought him to be at first , that could kinda explains the vast numbers of missing and lost in action cases that kept on happening to the members who joined that damn party of his , how the Adventurer's guild had been silent about this is quite nerve-wracking .
tell me how you dealt with this situation, what did you do after finding this out , did you finished all of them off ? .
I don't know why are you associating me with killing the moment a conflict arise, old man but no i didn't kill them technically .
A pity, but don't worry i will be sure to held them accountable for All the crimes that they have committed .
I guess he again misunderstood my words i then shock my head at him and said :
Sadly, you won't have the chance to do so since they all died or at least those who were at the camp .
He looked at me in a confused manner and asked in a bewildered tone :
Didn't you just say that you left them alone, why are you saying that they are dead now , explain ? .
I then began to tell him about how i forced them to go into a Kaiju-0 monster's horde and how they were all attacked and swallowed by the Kaiju-0 monsters , and his only reaction to what i did was a piercing like stare that continued for a long period of time before he sighed and just said :
You know , i really believe that they would have chosen to die a normal death or even turn themselves in if they knew what was your intentions when you took them to there, was there any more atrocities you did, that i should be aware of and you didn't mention Blade with those who was eaten by the monsters, was he able to escape or something ? .
No he too died in there not only that , he was also related to the most important bits of information that i was able to gather in the last adventure that i had in the Wicked Forest, and it was this unplanned expedition what impacted me the most .
You are really a menace, not a good kid at all .
I brushed off the weird glances he was giving me and that comment and i went on in telling him about how did Blade die but left the part about me throwing him in the mouth of the monster out, since i was beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable under his judgemental gaze and eyes .
Then i began to tell him about how i faced the said creature and how i throw him back into the cave where it was living in and seeing that he didn't come back up and hearing the bustling movements inside intrigued me to find out what exactly lay inside of it and trying to find where the creature went to .
So i entered the cave and began exploring the inside of it and i encountered a huge amounts of those Kaiju-0 monsters on my little expedition with different shapes and ranks but they were all sharing the same set of skills to some extent .
And nothing in the world could have prepared me enough to the shocking discoveries that i saw and witnessed in that cave .
An impatient voice came from beside me appearing to be quite dejected saying :
Hurry up and say it already , what were those discoveries that you made in that cave, hurry and spill it out .
The first discovery that i was able to made was Related to the said Kaiju-0 monsters , these creatures were being actually manufactured and made artificially .
And Regard looked at me like as if he was looking at someone who lost his mind and spouting nonsense, but i still assured him that i'm completely sane and the words that i just said were nothing but the truth and i'm even willing to make an Oath on how true my words were .
He just sighed again and shook his head saying :
It's not that i doubt you, but what you are saying can create a big disturbance on how our view of those monsters work and for better or worse that's a thing neither of us can really determine, now that you know how strong of an impact that discovery of you have on the entire world as we knew, wasn't i right to react the way i did , but now that i think about it in depth , it was quite a passable explanation to why we weren't able to find any Kaiju-0 monsters mana cores .
If you put it that way, i can't really say much to debate you on this, anyhow there's some good news that i believe will help us with passing through the upcoming crisis , ~Slap~ okay okay i will say, i will say , i believe now that the numbers of those Kaiju-0 monsters who were going to participate in the next monsters raid will be quite minimal and from what i heard they were more menacing on the battlefield than the other high ranking monsters .
Ooh , it will really be a great help if what you just said was true but tell me why exactly do you believe so ? .
You see, this is quite related to the second discovery that i was able to made, i was not only able to find the source that was responsible for creating these monsters, no i was also able to meet the person who was responsible for making them and from what i guessed he used those monsters as minions to help him increase his recovery speed by ordering these monsters to hunt for humans and other monsters alike to quicken the speed of his recovery .
Whaaat, what did you just said, you met the guy who created those A ranked Kaiju-0 monsters, how reckless can you be, what did happen after that and how were all of this related to the numbers of Kaiju-0 participating in the raid ? .
Old man Regard, you are still belittling my strength even after i told you that the me currently was more than capable of fighting against that SSS dragon, i will give you a small demonstration on how strong I'm .
With that said i activated my Obsidian Armor skill and my Aura Of The Strong skill simultaneously for almost a fraction of a second and i stopped the two skills activation and looked at the old man who was opening his mouth so wide that i believe that if i tried to put the handle of the sword in it , it really could very much fit .
The old man in front of me was scared shitless out of his wits as lots and lots of sweat began to form on his forehead and his body seems to be quite dranched with sweat too , i had an amused smile and expression on my face as i looked at him twitching in front of me and was filled with a weird sense of satisfaction and the another sense that i wasn't able to put my hand on clearly at first but i was able to understand it as time went by, it was actually a sense of triumph over old man Regard .
But i guess he wasn't a retired high ranking Adventurer for nothing since he was able to completely calm himself down in the next second and fully restored his composure and was even a bit more sterner than before, i thought seeing his expressionless face that the amounts of surprises that i brought him today had broken him or something .
But luckily that wasn't the case as i saw his stern and expressionless face turned into an amusingly smiling one, it looked quite ugly but i can very much tell that he for some reason was beginning to enjoy this, or my previous thought was actually right and Regard could have really lost his mind .
~Slap~ why are you looking at me with such pity in your eyes .
Arrrg , i have to surpass the urge of automatically lashing out that my Hunter's Instinct gave me, and i was really missing the evading effect of my Frozen Edge .
You have made me realize how much your strength had grown, what happened with the person responsible for creating these monsters and what did you exactly do .
I took a deep breath since what i was about to say might give him a shock that could most likely stop his heart from beating out of pure shock and i warned him that he should steadied himself and prepare it for what i was going to say next, and i saw him raising his hand and i instantly realized that he was already losing all of his remain patience , so i hurriedly began to tell him about my encounter with that Bloodlord .
From finding that Kaiju-0 monster which i was hunting at the shore of some blood river and how it helped him healing himself and how i saw it gave birth to more Kaiju-0 monsters of lower ranking and that there was other monsters throwing corpses in that blood river .
And just when i tried to finish my business with the said monster a voice came echoing in the cave telling me to stop for the sake of his face which i very much didn't care about and finished that monster off then turned to the person who was responsible for all of this bloodshed .
I saw the pool suddenly getting whirled into the shape of an unknown being covered in some sort of black cloth standing in the air but then landed opposite to me and he apologized about trying to attack me before and asked me to forgive him, but he talked in a haughty tone that didn't allow me to take his words seriously .
And he was clearly able to tell that i didn't like him, something related to him and his race have the trait of being able to hear the thoughts of others, as after he told me that i directly attacked him but he was able to parry this attack of mine .
But he did mentioned a few weird terms that wasn't familiar to me like he said that he was a Bloodlord and that he was from the Real World and they have Rulers and Emperors acting as the powerhouses in the region he lived in and he confessed that he created these minions of his to help him regain his strength back, after he was attacked by the World's Will trying to arrive to this land .
He said that his objective in arriving here was to find and claim some kind of a Shard and then he will be getting out of here and that there were other coming from the so-called Real World for the exact same purpose , and he mentioned the Demons to be part of this .
I then told Regard about the strange fighting techniques he used and how some of my skills didn't do anything to him and how i finished him off and got that cloth out of him while he was trying to scare me with the threat of being pursued by the other Bloodlords out there .
But i paid his threats no mind and still decided to end him since i have seen and acknowledged that this guy strength was above those of SSS Rank individual here in the land running around will be quite dangerous, i told Regard that he wasn't truly dead and at most he may be quite injured , since he said that what i was fighting all along was nothing but a mere clone puppet that he used as his incarnation .
And he told me all this information believing me to be someone from their world and even asked me of the region that i lived in trying to figure out more about me and my identity , but i mislead him into thinking that i was someone else by introducing myself to him as Blazan the demon king .
I finished saying all of that in one breath and looked forward to see how would Regard's reaction be, but here is weird part, he didn't actually have any he still looked at me as before as if waiting for my explanation like what i just said wasn't one .
I tried to call him and he was able to hear me and replay just fine, so what was going on, he even asked me to continue again explaining which i tried to do but his reaction was very much still the same as before .
I got a bit of shills on my back and decided to test something that i wasn't that sure about and told him that i destroyed the mastermind and with that i believe that there won't be any more of those monsters.
And this time he actually reacted by smiling cheerfully and even pat me on the shoulder saying that i did a good job , but i was in no mind to think about what his reaction was since i was more concerned with WHAT WAS EXACTLY HAPPENING JUST NOW .
Then suddenly the ringing sounds of uncountable number of sirens went off awakening me from my current shocked state a bit and only a bit .
And guards galloping on the streets while shouting and yelling : THE MONSTERS RAID IS HERE, THE MONSTERS RAID IS UPON US , READY YOURSELF, PREPARE YOURSELVES , ALL IN POSITION .
