Chapter 392: An Encounter with Good People By noon, the procession had recovered its schedule and was approaching a low hill. Tauro sensed roughly twenty people resting on the far side and warned everyone to remain alert. An attack in broad daylight seemed unlikely, but caution cost nothing. Through [True Eye], Tauro could make out […]
Chapter 391: Continuing Along the Road The unexpected attack had shaken Tauro, but Pella’s intervention allowed him to escape without injury. The two villagers remembered nothing. They were bewildered to awaken in the forest rather than inside their tent. When Tauro and Zion brought them back to camp, Ragune and Ankh were already awake and
Chapter 390: An Enemy Beyond Detection After selling their freshly prepared food to Alimar’s family, Tauro and his companions had to cook their own portions again. As Tauro worked, he noticed the villagers and hired guards staring intensely at the food. The aroma had spread throughout the campsite, and Alimar’s family were praising every bite.
Chapter 389: The Bridal Procession Departs The day of departure finally arrived. During the previous two days, Tauro had explained the escort procedures to the villagers and travelers who would serve under Black-Gold Wings’ command. The procession consisted of three carriages. The first carried fifteen-year-old Sita, her parents Alimar and his wife, and one attendant.
Chapter 388: The Second Day in the Dyeing Village Tauro and his companions spent two days in Zenyu before the bridal procession departed.

Chapter 387: A Day in the Dyeing Village Tauro and his companions met the ten additional members of the bridal escort: several experienced travelers and a group of villagers confident in their strength. Kossa was among them. After the previous day’s match, he remained quiet, apparently having accepted the difference between his ability and Tauro’s.
Chapter 386: A Gentle Lesson Tauro held his staff in a loose, seemingly careless stance. Perhaps angered by how relaxed he looked, the young man brought his staff down toward Tauro’s head with all his strength. Tauro easily deflected the blow. The young man’s staff slammed into the ground, and the impact sent a painful
Chapter 385: The Dyeing Village Tauro and his companions arrived at a village near Caxart. The settlement stood beside a forest, with nearly half of its buildings hidden among the trees. Smoke rose from numerous locations, making the inhabited area easy to spot even from a distance. Long lengths of dyed cloth fluttered as they
Chapter 384: A Quest Recommended by the Branch Manager Tauro and the other members of Black-Gold Wings visited the Adventurers’ Guild to reaffirm their plans now that Zion had officially joined the team. “Oh, Tauro-kun, everyone—please wait a moment. The branch manager has something important to discuss with you.” When the receptionist Armine noticed them,
Chapter 383: A Crisis Beyond Death The moment Tauro began chanting [Creation Magic] and light seeped from his palm, a dangerous chill raced down his spine. “Oh, crap! This is definitely going to kill me!” Tauro had felt this same danger while creating Zion’s Opposing Demon Gauntlets. This time, however, that experience worked in his
