Mission And Reward System
The Eghed Continent part 9

Derrick wakes up in a room with a Rumbia leaf roof and a wooden wall with a dirt floor, Derrick looking around him like he's looking for something.

"I where?" derrick asked himself as he got off the bed and intended to leave the room.

Derrick felt pain all over his body, especially the back, he only realized that his body was wrapped in bandages and looked like a mummy. The confused Derrick immediately recalled what happened to him as he ran away from the village chief's house.

"It turns out that I was attacked all of a sudden by a man in a gold mask." murmured Derrick recalling the incident.

Where at that time Derrick managed to stay away from the village head's house area, the, but who would have thought that right in front of him stood no 3 who directly attacked him with claws that were like tiger claws made of energy and a black smoke aura.

"Crash!"

The unprepared Derrick just fended off reflexively, no 3 attacked Derrick from various directions relying on his speed and ended with a powerful kick in the chest until it crashed deep into the forest and after that Derrick did not remember again.

Someone suddenly came to the room with a tray filled with a plate of food and a glass of water, the old man was shocked for a moment.

"You're sober? how are you doing?" asked with a friendly smile, Derrick knew the old man who turned out to be the old man who warned him to be careful to the village chief.

Ok, skip.

Derrick eventually learns that the village chief is a bad person, likes to torture villagers, and kidnaps some villagers after being told by the old man.

"Why don't you report it to the government for help?" ask Derrick.

"We have reported several times, but the results are nil, even the village chief blatantly threatened us if we continue to try to report, so be like this we can only resign." said the old man replied while sipping his coffee.

"Even some of the residents who reported it until now are not known whereabouts, we suspect they were killed by the bastard" he added with a heavy voice and trembling lips held back the anger, Derrick could feel the old man's anger with just a glance.

"It looks like the village chief has quite a strong back in the capital, interesting." murmured Derrick inwardly.

"Young people themselves why was commissioned by the kingdom to visit our village?" ask the old man then to Derrick.

"The kingdom asked the magic knight to this village to do something, sorry I couldn't tell the mission because it was so secret." replied Derrick, the old man understood.

Derrick was invited to a place where the kidnapped citizens were used as forced laborers to dig up a valuable material, which is a magic stone that is useful to increase mana capacity.

"Get on, don't be lazy!" shouted a foreman while whipping some exhausted and limp residents.

Pack!

Pack!

Pack!

The foreman continued to whip the residents to make an old grandfather fall down in pain due to the lashings, seeing that some young workers intended to help the grandfather but was forbidden by the foreman.

"Grandfather okay?" ask a concerned young man.

"Why stop! dig fast or today you are not fed." said the foreman angrily to some of the young men.

"This is how young people are, grandfather please help save them" the old man told Derrick, pleading, but Derrick remained silent.

"I'm going to help them, but I need some preparation, so please let grandfather go home and leave this matter to me" Derrick said calmly and asked the old man to return home.

"Young people let alone those who need to be prepared, please save them right now, aren't you a magic knight?" said the old man a little angry because Derrick was so calm and seemed to have no intention of helping.

"Haha, everyone's grandfather has power, we can't act rashly, I may be a magic knight, but that doesn't mean I can easily handle these criminals easily" Derrick explained, the old man wanted to protest, but Derrick had already disappeared in an instant.

"Go back to the cake, leave the matter to me." Derrick's voice echoed in the ear telling the old man to return to his house.

In a prison.

Buk up!

Buk up!

Buk up!

Varg was hit several times to spit out so much blood by some people who were subordinates of the village chief, while Resi himself could only stare sadly at the torture with unstoppable tears.

"Let go! let us go or you'll all get the consequences, damn it!" rishi shouted asking to be released.

"Whisper!" shouted one of the prison guards while hitting Resi's face to redden.

"If it wasn't for the 3rd master wanting you, we would've definitely..," hadn't had the chance to finish his sentence suddenly two prison guards died with neck wounds.

"Who are you?" the guard asked in fear while pointing a sword at the attacker who was none other than Derrick, the guard who tortured Varg stopped their torment and stood by Derrick's whereabouts.

"Derrick! why are you here?" asked Varg in trembling.

Trang!

A guard attacked Derrick who was off guard, lucky Derrick fended off and counter-attacked, four other guards came to attack Derrick.

Tang!

Tang!

Bang out!

Derrick deflected the slashes and stabs of the five guards casually, then managed to land a kick to the neck of the three guards until it fell, then launched a stab at one of the prison guards.

Cr0t!

Derrick stabbed the neck of one of the guards who intended to use magic to death, then kicked the other guard to the ground.

"It's a good thing that guards are filled only with warriors, not witches who have deadly magic and magic attacks that take up so much area." murmured Derrick gratefully as he sheathed his dagger in the sheath that was behind his waist, then release Resi handcuffed in the underground prison owned by the village head.

"Thank you, uhuk, uhuk." said the limp Rishi, who coughed a few times, Derrick just smiled.

"Come, go." take Derrick.

"Derrick, what about Varg?" rishi asked in surprise at Derrick's attitude, who had no intention of helping Varg at all.

"If you want to save the man, then save him and don't take me." Derrick replied coldly and immediately went out of prison leaving the silent Resi and the half-conscious and dying Varg.

Bang out!

While Derrick is attacked by a fireball that creates a huge explosion and destroys the dungeon, the heat from the explosion reaches even Resi who is busy treating Varg.

"What happened?" ask Resi to worry about Derrick.

Derrick survived the fireball attack that caused the powerful explosion because at the last moment managed to create a barrier wall from the wind and only protect his body, he said, however, Derrick was seriously injured by a fireball that destroyed his wind barrier.

"Mist!" derrick muttered using fog magic that instantly blurred with the smoke of the fireball explosion.

"This underground prison started to waver from the explosion, completely careless!" muttering Derrick looked around especially the strangely shaking ceiling of the dungeon, Derrick limping back to the prison where Resi and Varg were.

"Haha, he's too weak for a great magician like me." the assailant who was a fourth-rate magician chuckled at his enormous attack and killed Derrick.

"Do you want to tear down my dungeon?" asked the village chief angry at the witch's behavior.

"Why carry out such a huge attack to deal with a level one magic knight?" asked the village chief in wonder.

The magician simply laughed while looking at the miniature dungeon in his hand, then saw 10 people killed as a result of the attack he launched.

"Haha, they may be first-rate magic knights, but their strength cannot be underestimated, especially the young swordsman who killed your stupid 7 subordinates (prison guards)." the magician replied with a laugh.

"In addition, despite looking so young, the healer-type magician named Resi is a level 4 magician just like me, but the difference is that he focuses on healing" he added.

"Resi's? is that woman alive?" ask the village chief who suddenly remembered the message no 3 so as not to do something to Resi.

"Of course he's dead, my magic is powerful...,"

"What!!!! she dead?" the village chief immediately grabbed the collar of the witch's shirt and shouted.

Otherside.

Derrick is currently being treated by Resi after tricking the village chief's witch with mist magic that contains illusions, which Derrick does to make the assailant think they are all dead.

"It's over" said Resi ketus after healing Derrick, he looks still angry and upset with Derrick's attitude that does not care about Varg.

"Done? this fast?" Derrick was surprised by the ability of Resi to heal his burns from attacking the fireball so quickly, even healing without a trace.

"Of course, because after all I'm a tier 4 healing type magician, not arrogant but that's the reality." Resi replied proudly.

"Fourth floor? aren't we all level one?" Derrick was surprised and asked.

"That's the version of the magic knight army, but the academy version of me is recognized as a level four mage because of my great ability in healing, is of course a different stupid base!" reply Resi arrogantly.

"Oh, so." Derrick's response was flat and immediately prepared to counterattack.

Resi is upset by Derrick's flat response, preferring to focus on curing the dying Varg and not caring about Derrick anymore.

So thanks.
