Last Hero
Chapter 48: The Meeting of Returns

It was hard to believe but we finished off the entire dragon in this place, who would have thought they were so weak with the water element and when combined with the ice element the result was much more shocking.

Yue you are truly a monster in different respects of course.

I was just more on duty in the cleaning section alone, before everything was put into storage magic.

Kila wiped her sweaty forehead while shaking the two tails behind her.

Hunting success.

"Yes hehe, hehe, hehe."

Stop Noel you're scaring me.

Marie was cleaning her weapon from the blood. The sooner we get out of this place the better.

We deposited the results of the hunt today, in addition to giving a surprise we also made the entire guild staff have trouble counting the money we got.

"Pardon us, we have to contact the other branch guild for the payment of the rest, will you wait for two days."

"We don't mind."

"Thank you."

I can understand the difficulties we have. Putting that aside I wanted to fill my stomach immediately and sleep afterwards.

The next three days we visited a large house that was a person who had a controlling lantern. The house is large, unfortunately there is no sign of someone occupying it.

"Okta's here."

I followed Noel's call and saw a human skeleton lying on the floor.

Here too, here and here, others chimed in. They wore their clothes while alive, 10 servants and one owner were pronounced dead.

This allows someone to have stolen the lantern back, but we can't know who did it.

I found a piece of cloth in the hand of the house owner's corpse, it was inscribed with a coffin symbol.

Noel seemed to remember something.

"They're a criminal organization that guards have long sought... Coffin, they're responsible for the destruction of some villages."

"So they're controlling Orifiel."

It is fortunate that we have Noel who is a former knight, although his personality does not reflect his former work.

After conducting the investigation we finally found their headquarters inside the forest interior.

They made a wooden house that was quite spacious with its surroundings filled with black-robed guards.

Noel placed his hand on the sword hilt as well as me with my holy sword.

Yue, Marie and Kila nodded towards me which made it our code to attack.

"Groans!" yell at one of them.

Yue immediately fired lightning magic to paralyze the guards outside and we lunged forward to overcome the rest.

Carefully I ran deeper and deeper, there was a room above which I kicked the door. Inside was a man with one eye closed while Orifiel sat at her desk.

"Dommediate attacks yeah."

"Where's the lantern?"

"I mean this."

The man showed us the thing we were looking for in his hand.

"You're controlling Orifiel, not."

"Haha exactly, I need his strength to destroy the Northern region and enlarge our name."

"Our names?"

"You need to know that the dark guild is now quite chaotic, some groups are caught and the rest are finished off by guards, just waiting for the time that we will disappear completely, he said, before that happens it would be best if I annihilate the entire bully."

"So, but it's weird that Orifiel could reply to all of my words when we met."

I once again looked towards him.

"You might have mistakenly thought, these lanterns don't control a person more precisely manipulating his memory."

Orifiel pointed her hand and it shot out a light that I immediately held back by my sword, as it was too strong I was thrown outside the building, dipping into the ground with a deafening sound.
