"Fire Element: Fire Ball!" A woman is fighting with a group of lizardmen, made up of four.
The female magic attack was successfully avoided by the lizardmen.
"Damn it, they're moving too fast. All my attacks have been missed" said the woman, keeping her distance.
One of the lizardmen carrying the spear threw his spear and managed to injure the woman's left hand.
Blood poured out of the woman's hand, leaving her hand paralyzed. He could no longer use magic.
The lizardmen who attacked him began to spit out their tongues, as if they had an evil plan on the woman.
"Boss, this woman is so beautiful. What if we just take him to the base" one of the Lizardmen told his friend. "We can use him alternately every night."
"Ha! Wonderful idea. Then, quickly tie his hands and feet!" Said the Lizardmen spirit.
The helpless woman looked at them with a look of disdain. He does not want to be made into a toy by these lowly creatures.
"Based on junk creatures!" His shouting.
The Lizardmen laughed. "How dare you call us that" said one of the lizardmen, kicking him.
"You'll get a reply someday!" The woman was full of annoyance.
"Ha. ha. ha. ha. do you think someone will save you..." Before the Lizardmen finished his sentence, suddenly his right hand had been severed.
Krackk..! Blood also poured out. The other Lizardmen immediately stood guard.
"What the fuck was that?" The woman was also surprised. "I can't even see his movements."
Before everything was conscious, the Lizardmen suddenly got their legs cut off all. They also fell to the ground.
"S-shit! Who did this!?" Shouted one of the Lizardmen.
Darren emerged from the shadows of the trees with an axe in his hand. He looks handsome.
The Lizardmen who were already unable to move became frightened. Plus, the moment they saw the goblin king axe in his hand, they became even more panicked.
Darren walked straight past those Lizardmen. He approached the woman and held her hand.
"Heal," he said. That way, the wound on the woman's hand was healed.
"You okay?" Darren asked sympathetically.
"Yes, I am good" answered the woman in amazement. He moved his hand and no longer felt any pain.
"Thank God" said Darren.
Darren turned away from the woman, approaching the Lizardmen. He is then seen talking to the Lizardmen.
"What if I make a deal?" Darren told the Lizardmen.
"B-well," replied the Lizardmen in fear.
"I'll kill one of you, and the rest I'll let go" Darren said.
The Lizardmen looked at each other. Soon they started fighting.
"Kill him!" Shouted one Lizardmen to his friend.
"No! Just kill him!" Shouted the other.
The woman Darren saved was also shocked to hear Darren's remarks.
After a long fight with each other, a Lizardmen who was their leader, whose two hands had been cut off, volunteered to be killed.
"Please kill me" he said. "But I beg you to keep your promise to let them go." He said as he turned towards his Lizardmen friends.
Darren smiles. He swung his axe without saying much.
Swooshes..! Darren's axe swing stopped right in front of the Lizardmen's eyes. Makes things quiet.
"Goodoo. You're a great leader" Darren said proudly.
Darren holds the Lizardmen's shoulder while casting a healing magic. Instantly, the Lizardmen's second hand instantly grew back.
"W-what are you doing!?" The woman became angry. "Why didn't you kill them all!?"
Darren looked at the woman. With a smile he said, "Do you have the heart, kill someone who has a family?"
The Lizardmen who heard that became shocked.
"S-someone?" Say them slowly. "W-Do you think of us as someone?"
Darren nodded with a smile. "Of course."
Tears flowed from the eyes of the Lizardmen. They are so deeply moved.
After treating the other three Lizardmen, Darren plans to return to the city with the woman. But one of the Lizardmen prevented it.
"Here, please take it," said the Lizardmen as she handed over her spear, "This is indeed nothing, but please be accepted."
Darren took it. He might be able to sell them in the guild and earn a high price.
"alright. Thank you," Darren said.
Darrenpun left the Lizardmen group with the woman.
"Oh yeah, by the way, can I know your name?" Darren asked while keeping his axe in a bag. "My name is Darren."
"Yuzuna" answered the woman briefly.
"Why did you take them off?" Ask Yuzuna again in a slow tone.
"Eitherway. I just can't imagine the feelings of their family" Darren replied.
"So in short, you don't have the heart?" Yuzuna.
"Yes, you can say that." Darren said with a small laugh.
"Huff. whereas if you want, you can get a lot of levels from killing them," Yuzuna said as she cleaned her wand.
"If it's about the level..." Darren said, "I don't really care that much." Darren actually already knew that he had a level that was already too high.
Actually, the day before...
Darren stopped by the city's public library. At first, he was there just to learn to read. But once he understood the letters, he became interested in reading other books.
I read a book about magic. In it, there are written ways to flow mana in the body into magic and turn it into attacks with various elements.
From there too, Darren learned how to use non-elemental magic. Heal, Canceling, and Channeling are some well-known examples of non-elemental magic.
With his brain a genius, Darren quickly understood the magic he used and was able to practice it perfectly.
"Actually, what kind of magic did you use before?" Ask Yuzuna.
"Oh, that's one of the non-elemental magic techniques, Channeling," Darren replied. "I channeled boost magic into my shoes, so I could move very quickly."
"What's!? Channeling?" Yuzuna surprised. "Actually, what level of adventurer are you?"
"Oh, I'm still Bronze-ranked, '" Darren replied casually.
"No way," Yuzuna said in disbelief. "You should already be at the Gold level or so."
Perhaps that was true, Darren should have already become a high-level adventurer. But because he accidentally broke the magic ball in the guild, they set Darren as a Bronze-level adventurer without measuring his strength.
Arriving in front of the city gate, the guard yesterday allowed Darren to enter without any more inspection.
"Welcome back, Aswan-sama," Welcome the guard.
"Yes, thank you, Fabrio," said Darren. "I told you to call me Darren" whispered Darren to Fabrio, the guard.
"I see you're with your lover, Darren-sama," Fabrio said.
"Did?" Darren was shocked. "Not..no. she's not my lover."
"With your power like that, it's no wonder that you can win women's hearts easily" Fabrio said.
"Hey.. hey.. don't get me wrong" Darren said.
Yuzuna who was standing there, became embarrassed. He lowered his head to cover his reddened face.
"Here you go, I want to go back to the guild" Darren said.
Darren and Yuzuna walked into the city. Darren with a spear in his hand and Yuzuna with a stick in her hand.
Many people are watching them. It seemed like they were interested in the stick Yuzuna was holding.
"By the way, what rock is that?" Darren asked as he pointed at the end of Yuzuna's wand.
"This is the Stone of Fire Pomegranate" replied Yuzuna.
Darren had read about it, about the Fire Pomegranate Stone. The stone was famous among the magician adventurers for its power.
The stone can produce fire magic, twice as powerful as the basic fire magic of its user. That's why many stones are placed on magic sticks.
"Woah, are you a fire witch?" Darren asked in admiration.
"Yes," replied Yuzuna.
"Wow, can you use powerful fire magic?" Darren asked curiously.
"Not really. I can only use A-level fire magic." Yuzuna.
"That A level is great!" Darren cheered.
"W-you think so? Thank you," Yuzuna blushed in embarrassment.
Arriving at the guild, Darren also sold the spear given by the Lizardmen.
As a result, Darren got fifteen pieces of silver coins. They said that the spear was a fairly rare item.
He handed over ten coins to pay for the damages, and the rest he kept in his own bag.
"Are you hungry?" Yuzuna asked Darren as soon as they exited the guild.
"Yes" answered Darren.
"good. Let's go to the bar and eat there" Yuzuna said. "Let me treat you as a token of gratitude."
Darren accepted it. They also went to the nearest bar.

"If you may know, what level are you sitting on, Yuzuna-san?" Ask Darren while waiting for the food to arrive.
"Not too long ago, I've just been promoted to Silver level," Yuzuna replied.
"Do you have a party?" Ask Darren.
"No, I always go on adventures alone" replied Yuzuna.
"Hmm.. being a mage without a party is definitely troublesome" Darren said.
"Yes, that's exactly it. Because my fire magic has a slow attack speed, I often struggle with nimble monsters" Yuzuna said.
"Oh, what does it mean. That Fireball fire magic was yours?" Darren said as he put the food that arrived on the table.
"Yes, right," Yuzuna said.
"That's really great. Fireball fire magic is fire magic with considerable damage power" Darren said enthusiastically. "You could say that magic is at level B."
"Although the magic is strong, if the user is not becus. Then the result will still be disappointing" Yuzuna jokingly said. "It turns out you know a lot about magic."
"Yes, I read it in the library yesterday" Darren replied as he ate his meal.
Suddenly, while they were eating. A large-bodied adventurer, looks to be teasing a woman who is eating there too.
"Hey. Are you accompanying me tonight?" Said the adventurer in a pushy tone.
The woman tried to ignore him, but the adventurer became more and more.
"Hey! If I speak, at least pay attention!" Shouted the adventurer. He took the woman by the hand and pulled her.
"Stop!" Shouted a young man. "Take him off!"
The big man looked. "What if I don't take it off?" Said the man while laughing. "Are you gonna kick me?"
"If you have to, then the answer is yes" replied the young man.
The big man laughed loudly. "I am a Platinum-class adventurer! A boy like you can't beat me!" Arrogant speech. "You better go home and cry."
The young man was also emotionally disturbed. Without much thought, he took out his sword and swung it towards the man.
Bruak..! The man punched him before the young man could hit him.
The situation became noisier because the man also began to ignite his ego to fight.
The young man stood up again. He held tightly to his sword, preparing to launch a second attack.
"He's very careless" Darren said to Yuzuna as he pointed at the young man.
"meaning?" Ask Yuzuna.
"He will definitely attack again with the same movement as before" Darren explained. "It could be seen from how he positioned his horses. If he attacked like that again, then he would only get hit again. Although the technique he used was great, but it would be useless if the opponent knew how to fend it off."
Darren secretly casts his magic. "Channeling!" Said slowly.
Suddenly, the young man's sword glowed and emitted lightning particles. People were astonished, as well as the young man himself.
"What's!? Magic channeling?" The big man was surprised. "Suppit. That won't change things."
The young man looked confused at first, but he was trying to take advantage of the circumstances. He swung his sword again.
Unexpectedly, his sword swing suddenly became extremely fast. Makes the big guy not have time to fend off.
Brrttt, an electricity flowed from the sword as soon as it touched the body of the big man. The big man was shocked to fainting.
Everyone in the bar cheered, while Darren and Yuzuna watched as they enjoyed their meal.
