The Darkness Metal Manipulation
Chapter 49's

"Zim! I'm asking you one more time, don't use your black mana carelessly." Said Erika who had just gotten off the horse carriage.

"I do know some things about you from dad. But I don't know you completely. I'll help you defeat the demon lord, then from that..."

"I beg you not to ruin my chances of adventure. Isn't that the deal we made?"

"I helped you defeat the demon lord and you helped me travel the world!" Erika.

"That was the deal! The deal I canceled the first time we met. I'm not expecting much help." Zyden replied.

"You're here with me just because of the crazy magic your father put on me. If it wasn't for that I'd have gone before."

'and that magic will not escape before the current demon king dies!'

"Don't be so influenced that we're together because of my will." Continued speaking.

"Are you not aware of the position I feel!" Erika muttered withholding her anger. "DO YOU THINK I'm helping you because of my will...!" Continue shouting in anger.

"You always talk about your losses, me too! I wouldn't have gone on an adventure with you if it wasn't for me."

"Once in a while, think of others first before you speak of your dissatisfaction."

"Because, it's not just you who have an interest here. I also have things I want to do!" Erika exclaimed in a sad tone.

Liya felt concerned for Erika, whereas Zyden, she was silent for a few words.

"Huh...! Looks like we were wrong at the time of our acquaintance huh? We better repeat everything." Said Zyden slightly bent and attached his right hand to the chest of the noble style.

"I'm sorry for causing so much trouble, Queen Erika!" Zyden exclaimed in a smooth tone.

"Include me, my name is Zyden. I'm a reincarnator and a hunter." Zyden continued which made Erika and Liya astonished in disbelief.

"I was reincarnated and given a mission to kill the present demon king and all his pillars."

"As a hunter, missions are everything to me. The smooth running and success of the mission are priorities that I must pay attention to."

"However I started it, however I did. As long as the results match the mission, it doesn't matter."

"It must kill millions of lives, though it must be hated by the world. I'll do it until it produces a perfect result." His words still left the two of them speechless.

"I'll let you enjoy those days of adventure you so desperately want. I'm not going to look for trouble or fuss in your adventure."

"But, since magic doesn't allow us to be far apart in a certain distance, it all depends on what your adventure is about. If you have a comfortable day, I won't ruin it."

"You understand, Queen Erika!" Zyden continued to change his voice to be heavier.

".... Then don't let you ruin my adventure. For your mission and our covenant." Erika Exclamations.

'well... I also have a mission from dad!' thought Erika.

"As long as you don't get in my way, everything is ok. Everything's fine." Said Zyden straightening his body.

"Ka..., then! We better get inside the city quickly." Erika Exclamations. "A... I, I can't wait to go around looking." Mumbled further.

"Is that so? Do you really want to see a city, Home Queen!" Ejek Zyden to Erika.

"SILENCE! I will not stand in your way or deal with you. But, if you do anything excessive. I'll do some things to you too." Erika hurried away.

"Good, fine! It's up to you." Exclaimed Zyden agreed. 'that's if you can.' he continued inwardly.

The three of them also walked towards the first city in the adventure party Erika was waiting for.

As usual, a vast city with great walls surrounded all the outer parts of the city. The city is named Darion city, the city is surrounded by many mountains and forests which become the most important income from the city.

The view of the surrounding mountains using flying boats is an object that became the center of popularity of this city.

The diamond crystal mine became a special interest for nobles who liked luxury things.

As for the forest that was filled with top-tier monsters and rare herbal plants that were the income of adventurers.

That makes Darion the most important city after the capital.

Arriving in front of the entrance, Zyden could see many gates that he could use to enter the city of Darion.

The doors were specially filled by people of different statuses.

There was a door entered by the luxurious carriage belonging to the nobles, the merchants who wanted to do business with their luggage. Even adventurers and ordinary people had their own entrances.

It looked like status was an important thing in this city, at least that was what Erika and Liya thought.

"What are you waiting for? Don't you want to go inside?" Zyden asked Erika and Liya who were still daydreaming.
