Chapter 213: A Duel of Curses Tauro gripped the cursed stone directly and invoked dark magic. A clearly visible black mist burst from it and coiled around his body. The opposing sorcerer was evidently a true professional. Even after Tauro tried to send the curse back once, the caster forced it toward him again. “This […]
Chapter 212: The Culprit Behind the Curse After seeing the others off, Tauro remained inside the shop in Dareder. He concealed himself with [Presence Concealment] while monitoring the surrounding area through [Presence Detection]. The store stood on a quiet side street with relatively little traffic, though people still passed regularly once the town became busy
Chapter 211: The Cursed Stone Tauro approached the polished stone among the shop’s merchandise. “Tauro, don’t touch it!” Aeris shouted. Ragune and Ankh reacted immediately. “What’s wrong?” Ragune asked. “Something about that stone feels revolting,” Aeris said. Riryo looked toward it as well. “I’ve never seen it before. The surface is polished, but is there
Chapter 210: A Quest with Many Demands One morning, the four members of Black-Gold Wings stood before the quest board in the Dansas Adventurers’ Guild. “Ah, here’s one we can take!” Aeris pulled an E-rank request from the board and showed it to the others. “Let’s see… Escort the client to and from Dareder, sort
Chapter 209: A Quiet Evening at Home Two weeks had passed since Tauro and Ankh began sharing a house. During the first few days, Aeris visited often, and Ragune naturally followed her.

Chapter 208: A Proposal for Food Stalls In a room at the Marches Trading Company in Dansas, Tauro and Marches were holding a business meeting. “A food stall?” Marches repeated, momentarily caught off guard by the proposal. “Yes. I think a stall is just the right scale for the people of the mountain village to
Chapter 207: Promotion Assessment Chloe, the Dansas branch manager, and Shiroi, the deputy branch manager, carefully reviewed the extraordinary results Black-Gold Wings had achieved during the limited-time free quest. Other participating teams had also performed well, but their accomplishments generally matched their existing ranks. Black-Gold Wings, despite operating in the E-rank band, had defeated numerous
Chapter 206: The Reborn Black-Gold Wings’ True Strength The captain of the Dareder territorial troops, who had narrowly escaped death, approached the adventurers who had rescued his unit. “Thank the gods! Are you adventurers from the Dareder branch?” Because Ankh was the oldest member and wore heavy armor, the captain naturally addressed him as though
Chapter 205: The Rescue Battle Tauro informed the others that the retreating soldiers and the monsters pursuing them were steadily approaching. “Ragune, have you recovered enough? Drink this if you still feel tired.” He handed her a restorative potion. “Thank you. I will.” Ragune drank it immediately. “Then we’ll rescue the soldiers. The harpies are
Chapter 204: The Small-Fry Team Black-Gold Wings now had four members, but Ragune was still only F rank. As a result, the team continued to focus on medicinal-herb gathering, kobold subjugation, goblin extermination whenever Tauro detected a group with [Presence Detection], and G-rank community requests around Dansas. Other adventurers therefore began treating Black-Gold Wings as
