Chapter 362: The Very End “Damn it! What was that dragon? I need to get out of here!” A short man cursed as he hurried down the stairs into the basement of Viscount Bomen’s mansion. “My standing in the Assassins’ Guild has risen so much, yet no one even bothered to escort me.” The man […]
Chapter 361: A Clash Between Dragonfolk Viscount Bomen’s mansion was far larger than Tauro had imagined. Repeated extensions had turned the estate into a maze of connected structures. Anyone entering it for the first time would almost certainly become lost. The attacking dragonfolk didn’t care. They detected enemies through their sensing abilities and moved straight
Chapter 360: Eradication Operation Begins During the three days before the operation to eradicate the Assassins’ Guild, the group gathered every detail they could and discussed each possibility at nightly meetings. Those meetings took place in Caxart, where the dragonfolk strike force was waiting. Tauro and Ragune traveled between the two cities using [Spatial Transfer]
Chapter 359: Could It Be…? For the next three days, Tauro and his companions spent daylight hours wandering the forests and mountains around Bomen’s territorial capital. They needed to appear as though they were diligently gathering the requested materials. “Even though we’re doing nothing wrong, pretending to work like this makes me feel guilty as
Chapter 358: Dangerous Medicine Until the new-moon operation three days later, Tauro and his companions continued visiting the Adventurers’ Guild as usual. Acting conspicuously now would only invite suspicion. “Oh, Black-Gold Wings! Your timing is perfect. Yesterday’s client was extremely pleased with your work and has asked for you again.” The receptionist hurried over as
Chapter 357: Discussing the Operation Date After finishing lunch, Tauro and his companions returned to the Adventurers’ Guild and reported the request complete, much to the receptionist’s surprise. They had completed four times the normal daily quota for Cockatrice subjugation. They had also dismantled the monsters in advance and carefully separated all the venom and
Chapter 356: Lunch Break For Tauro and the other members of Black-Gold Wings, reinforced by three veteran dragonfolk operatives, the Cockatrice-subjugation request outside Bomen’s territorial capital was simple. Malak, Zumei, and Reeva performed so impressively that Tauro, Ragune, and Ankh had almost nothing to do. Cockatrices were normally troublesome opponents. They could fly for short
Chapter 354: Entering the Territorial Capital [Notice Included] Tauro and his companions left the town early the next morning and headed for the territorial capital. Nothing good would come from staying there any longer. Perhaps because of the reporting system, the residents were intensely wary of strangers. The slightest suspicious behavior could result in an
Chapter 353: A City on Alert Tauro and his companions silently watched the travelers being led away by the guards. After passing through several more checkpoints, they finally reached the next town. Although the carriage journey had lasted only a few hours, Tauro felt thoroughly exhausted. The others seemed equally drained and sighed as they
Chapter 352: Tolls Tauro, Ragune, Ankh, Malak, Zumei, and Reeva crossed from Count Graunewald’s territory into Viscount Bomen’s domain. The first checkpoint stood at the border town, but the entrance toll was small. “This appears more ordinary than I expected,” Malak said without lowering his guard. “So far, it matches Count Graunewald’s information,” Tauro replied.
