Two days later. Rain finally reached the city gate. He entered and immediately went to his family's residence.
Arriving there, he was surprised, because the castle of the Wolford family that had collapsed had almost returned, and also a lot of knights around here. Looks like these knights are a favor from king fredrick.
In addition to the knights, there were many witches who settled there, they were the witches of the Wolford family who had previously carried out missions or were in other branches of the city. And now everyone's getting together after hearing that the Wolfords were attacked.
Rain went to the house where his mother and father were. And when he got there, he saw Rain's mother watering plants in the yard.
"Mother!"
"Ehh, Rain why are you here, I heard you were in the capital."
"Hehe, yes ma'am I went here to visit, I heard many knights were sent here to look after our family."
"Oh, it's true King Fredrick sent us a favor for a while now, until things return to normal. Then go in and greet your father."
"Yes ma'am."
Rain immediately went into the house and looked for his father. He saw his father in the living room enjoying a cup of coffee.
"Dad! l'm back.
"Wheel! what are you doing here? aren't you at a tournament in the capital?"
"Heh, the tournament ended a week ago."
"And did you win?"
"Of course."
"Hahahahaha, that's my son."
"But why are you here?, he said you won't be here again for a few years?"
"Ehh, that's when I met King Fredrick I was told about him sending a lot of troops here so I was curious."
"Oh, so yeah."
After that Rain chatted a lot with his father, and shortly afterwards there was a sound of knocking on the door.
Geck! Geck! Geck!
"It's me sir."
"General Vincent come in."
The door opened and a man the same age as Rain's father entered with his golden armor as well as long, pitch-black hair and a sharp eye.
"What brings you here, General Vincent?" Father Rain asked, but this man named Vincent remained silent as he glanced towards Rain.
"Oh, just talk, he's my son he can be trusted."
"Well then, I'm here to report that there's a little suspicious trace that our scout squad found in the woods around this town."
"Sprints? what's that trail?" Ask Rain's father.
"It is not certain what the trace is, but certainly the trace is not a trace of humans or animals. More to the monster trail or the like, the trail was slender like a human hand yet it seemed like it had sharp hooves."
"Emm, can I see the trail?" Ask Rain.
"You want to see Rain?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Sorry sir but this is something serious, we mustn't mess around."
"Oh, take it easy, Rain can help with this."
"But he's still a kid."
"Let's just take him to see the trail."
"Well, fine if that's what you want."
General Vincent leaves the house and is followed by Rain.
"Then follow me" said General Vincent who went straight ahead to the city gate.
'He, so he wants to test me, fine if that's what you want.'
Rain also took a swing to run while activating the Strengthening and Acceleration skill.
Ohhhh!!
Rain immediately shot up at the full speed he could, and caught up with General Vincent.
"Ho, can you follow me, son?"
"Uncle? Heh, well then, don't miss it," said General Vincent who shot back much faster than before.
Rain also tried not to be left behind.
1 minute later, they finally arrived at the location where the mysterious trail was found.
Rain immediately saw the mysterious trail. When Rain saw it, he was quite confused that the trail looked like a human hand but was longer and at each end was pointed.
'System, what footprint is this.'
[Ding, the system sensed there was a dark element in the trail, and it was likely that the trail came from a creature that had a dark element.]
'What is a demon?'
[It is most likely so sir]
"That's it."
"Do you know anything?"
"Emm, most likely this is a trace of the devil."
"Devil? what words can you believe?"
"Yes, at least it won't be far from the creatures that have the element of darkness."
"Alright then, I'll go back to the city to alert you."
"All right."
Rain wasn't too worried because a demon wouldn't be a big deal here because other than the general of the kingdom, there were also over 1,800 troops consisting of the royal Knights as well as the witches of the Wolford family. Even if the demon was a Nightmare it shouldn't be a big deal. Also the royal general who reached Rank S made the city safer.
When Rain wanted to return to the city he saw a burning leaf leaving half a sheet. But Rain did not think too much and went to his residence again.
3 Days later.
There were no signs of the appearance of the demons anymore other than the traces three days ago. It makes the knights more relaxed even though they are in a period of alert.
Until the night of the third day after Rain came to this city, suddenly there was an explosion and a house burned in the middle of the city.
General Vincent, who was in the vicinity of the Wolford family residence, received reports of the explosion. This made him suspicious and he ordered 200 Knights to come check on what was happening.
Rain who was also curious about anything also secretly went towards the explosion using his assassin robe.
tuk! tuk! tuk!
The sound of Rain's footsteps running on the roofs of houses. From a distance he saw a house burned by a great fire.
Rain used his Detection skill to detect what was there.
Strangely, he detected nothing suspicious. And suddenly from a distance in the direction of North Rain saw a similar explosion as well.
Notes.
The city is divided into 5 parts: North, West, South, East, and Central. The Wolford family's residence is in the South, and Rain is currently in the middle.
[Ding, warning! The system detected a creature that had the same dark element as the trail three days ago in the North.]
"Currently, how was he already there," said Rain who immediately darted towards the north.
[Ding, the System again felt a different dark energy in the West, East, and South directions.]
"What's? so the assailant wasn't just one?"
Rain turned around and ran towards his residence. Suddenly, a creature attacked Rain from behind.
Srakk!
Rain who sensed the danger in his dagger was also reflexively evasive. As he turned around he saw a demon whose hand was in the shape of a pair of wings. He looks like a bat but at each end of his body there is a pointy nail, he also has large ears.
As Rain analyzed it using the Eye Of Truth his face became grim.
