The corner of Soutaâs mouth slowly curves upward as he received a quest. It was unexpected and it wasnât that bad. 3 skill points were better than nothing.
"You can leave the rest to me or should I say to Alice," Souta said as high mana fluctuations erupted above the building. Then, a heavy mana poured down on the building.
Boom!
The whole building shook heavily as cracks formed around it. After a few seconds, it started to crumble down.
"Whatâs happening?!" Orlando muttered in shock.
The guards were also confused. They didnât why thereâs an earthquake and the mana got denser all of a sudden.
"Hehe~ good luck..." Souta said to Orlando as he wrapped his hand around Isabellaâs waist and jumped away through the window.
Bang!
After they got out the building exploded startling all the people in the surrounding area. In this territory, all the people here were members of the Dopheos Guild so they donât have to worry about others.
Orlando and the other guards emerged from the debris of rocks. They have a few bruises on their body.
"Where is he?!"
"Shit! I didnât expect this to happen!!"
"Lockdown the entire territory and quickly look for that man and that slave!!"
"I will not let them get away easily!!"
They looked around their surroundings and they called for more backup. Then, they dispersed to find the two.
Souta and Isabella were on top of one of the buildings looking down at the people on the ground. He smiled and said inwardly, âThe stage is already set. Everything should go according to my plan. Now let me see how great the Knights really are.â
...
A muscular girl was sitting on a chair with piles of paper files. She had a long brown hair and was wearing a formal clothes. She was the leader of the Dopheos Guild, Synny Dopheos.
While she was reading the words written on the paper, a man burst through the door of her room.
"Madam!!" The man called her while breathing heavily.
Synny looked at him and asked in annoyance, "What is it?" She was busy dealing with her work and this man interrupted her.
"Madam! A man invaded our territory and it causes one of our buildings to be destroyed! Right now, he took one of the slaves and is currently hiding inside our territory! Orlando said that we should lockdown the territory to corner that man!" The man reported to his leader.
"Oh? So thatâs why I felt something while Iâm reading..." Synny said as she raised her eyebrows. "Orlando is trying to cause a trouble once again. If heâs not one of our sponsors then I would already kick him out of the guild."
"What should we do, Madam?" The man asked him.
"Hmm... You can just ask Hunts about it. Tell him that Iâm leaving this problem to him." Synny replied to him after pondering for a while.
"Yes, Madam!" The man bowed before he left the room.
...
"What are we going to do now, Sir?" Isabella asked him as she looked down at the people who were trying to find the two of them.
"Donât worry about it, letâs just watch the show in front of us." Souta paused for a moment as he turned to her and said, "Also, donât call me sir. Iâm Souta Ieshi, first name Souta and last name Ieshi. You can call me Souta to make it easy."
"Yes, S-Sir Souta..." Isabella slowly said as she lowered her head.
"Forget about formality. Just call me Souta." Souta waved his hand to her. He then focused his attention on the ground.
Boom!
A figure came down crashing on the ground from the sky. It was so powerful that it shook the ground heavily and caused a large crater on it. Smoke and dust filled the large crater and it hid the figure that just crashed on it.
"Whoâs that, S-Souta?" Isabella asked after some hesitation.
"Thatâs my comrade Alice. You can count on her as sheâs pretty strong." Souta explained to her.
After a few moments, the wind blew strongly and it dispersed the smoke. They saw a beautiful girl with long silver hair standing in the center of the crater.
Orlando arrived at the scene and asked with an enraged tone. "Who are you? What are you doing in this place?" He didnât have a time to think about the beauty of this woman as his rage was slowly consuming his heart.
"Tsk!"
Alice slowly swept her eyes at them and clicked her tongue in annoyance. From what she could see, thereâs no Knight Level among the people here.
She opened her mouth and asked, "Is this everything youâve got? If you want to find him then bring stronger people."
Orlando opened his eyes widely as he understood what she was talking about. "What?! Youâre with that man!!"
"Yes, so bring everyone here so that I could finish my job," Alice said to him in a cold tone.
"You!! Attack! Letâs capture this woman too!" Orlando said as he pointed his finger at Alice.
The members of the Dopheos Guild charged forward with his signal. They brandished their weapons preparing to attack the lone girl.
"My leader said that I should test the power of Knights so bring me those Knights. I donât have any business with you." Alice muttered as she looked at the people that were charging at her.
She slowly lifted her hand and everything was so fast for people. They could only see her hand turned blur.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In an instant, she blew dozens of people that were charging at her. She didnât even put her strength in her hand yet these people were blown away easily.
"Argh!!"
The members of Dopheos Guild screamed as they crashed on the nearby building.
Bang! Bang!
Alice wreaked havoc on her leaderâs order so that she could force those Knight Levels to come out and fight her. Itâs not only Souta that wanted to test the might of the Knight Level of this world, she also wanted it. She wanted to know how strong was the inhabitants of this sub-world.
Every time she attacked people would fly away and several buildings would crumble down. It was fragile. Everything around her was like a glass that she could shatter easily.
She didnât even use twenty percent of her strength yet no one could stop her.
Souta who was watching the battle raised his eyebrows as he turned his head. He felt the presence of several people heading towards Aliceâs position. The presence of these people was stronger than the people that Alice was blasting away.
"Oh? They are finally here."
He guessed that they were Knight Levels but their presence was too weak compared to the people that he had fought before. Even Curdova or one of the executives of the Moon Tower could massacre this entire city population if they were that weak.
...
Alice looked at the group of people who just arrived. She looked at them from head to toe and asked, "Are you people at Knight Level?"
The one who was leading the group of people with a strong presence frowned at her question. He was wearing a full plate silver-colored armor with black linings and at the c.h.e.s.t part of the armor, a crest of their guild was carved into it.
He was the vice-leader of the Dopheos Guild, Hunts.
"Vice-leader!!"
"This one is strong!! Sheâs probably at Knight Level!!"
"We canât do anything about her!!"
Hunts simply glanced at his comrades who were covered in wounds before he said, "Step back. Sheâs indeed a Knight Level so those people who below Knight should stand back."
Alice tilted her head as she slowly circulated her mana around her body. âSo these people really are Knight Levels.â She thought.
"Why are you attacking us?" Hunts asked as he didnât immediately attack Alice. Both of them were Knights, after all, so they have the same status.
"Why donât you ask your member?" Alice replied to him as she dashed forward. She didnât even bring out her orange-grade weapon.
Swoosh!
Hunts quickly pulled out his silver sword and slashed it forward.
Alice shifted her body to avoid the slash and the next thing she found was that thereâs a fist closed to her face. She threw a punch and both of their fists collided causing a loud sound to echo in the surrounding area.
Bang!
Hunts brought a total of seven Knight Level with him so he was confident that their group would subdue this girl.
"Is that it?" Alice said as she put more force in her fist. She pushed her fist forward and the Knight was thrown away.
Boom!
"Ugh!" The Knight didnât even manage to resist as he flew and crashed on the building twenty meters away.
