Chapter 250: To a Distant Land… After saying goodbye to the people close to him, Tauro left Dansas without being seen off by anyone except Aeris, Ragune, and Ankh. Naturally, this was because Ragune’s [Dimensional Corridor] couldn’t be revealed publicly. To the villagers and adventurers who knew nothing of the circumstances, however, Tauro’s sudden departure […]
Chapter 249: Greetings and… At the Adventurers’ Guild, Tauro completed the formal procedure for leaving Black-Gold Wings. With that, he officially became a solo adventurer. The news threw Chloe, the manager of the Dansas branch, into confusion. She called all four members into her office and demanded an explanation. Tauro spoke on behalf of the
Chapter 248: Discussion at the Inn At an inn in Dareder, the four members gathered in the room shared by Tauro and Ankh to discuss their next move. Tauro explained the plan he had come up with. “I think I should stay in Ragune’s hometown, the dragonfolk village, until the trouble with the Assassins’ Guild
Chapter 247: One Silver Coin Tauro’s meeting with Count Dareder continued. “At the end of one recovered document, someone added a line in ordinary, unencrypted writing,” the count explained. “It contained your name, a number, and an X.

Chapter 244: A D-Rank Adventurer Team Every member of Black-Gold Wings had been promoted to D-minus, and their new silver tags proved it.

Chapter 243: 13 The operation to destroy the Assassins’ Guild branch succeeded, although the allied force suffered many casualties. Fortunately, no one from the Dansas branch was lost.

Chapter 242: Post-Subjugation Meeting Most Assassins’ Guild members taken alive were noncombatants—men, women, and children—or fighters who had been rendered unconscious by severe wounds. Many others killed themselves rather than be captured. The subjugation force had also suffered heavy losses. Some B-rank adventurer teams and territorial units had nearly been wiped out. The assassins used
Chapter 241: He Gets Away Tauro and his companions jumped from the central building and hurried toward the western wall. A small gate there already stood partly open. Tauro climbed the wall and saw a battle unfolding in the nearby forest. The enemy didn’t register on [Presence Detection], meaning they possessed some form of concealment
