The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 42 - Quest

Inside the Guild building, precisely at night....

"Huh? Don't go to the woods?! What are you saying, Lucius? Remembering this morning you insisted on taking me hunting huh?!" asked the half-drunk Ironclad for his drink.

"Ironclad's right. With your presence, we can hunt better, right?" drakon asked curiously while slamming the wooden glass onto the table.

"Didn't you just hunt yourself to get 8 gold coins after being sold? Why stop going there?" ask Sera confused.

"I.... I think I heard Lucius' explanation." said Lyra nervously.

In front of the four of them, Lucius' panicked figure could be clearly seen. Both of his eyes opened wide, glaring at the four people.

"I told you! There's a terrible monster in there!" shouted Lucius.

"Then, what kind of monstrous monster is this?" ask Ironclad coldly.

Likewhat? How did Lucius answer that question? Lucius himself did not even see the monster.

Only the words Carmilla are the basis for all this. Lucius believed Carmilla would never make such a lie. But anyway, he still loves his life.

But it says that the information came from the demons that were in his body....

Maybe I won't believe it. Or worse, Lucius could be hunted by all the soldiers in this city.

Not long after that....

Someone appeared to enter the main hall of this Guild in a hurry. In both of his hands, was the figure of a man who had been unconscious.

"Whoever! Please save my brother!" yelled the man.

Suddenly all the adventurers in these Guilds stood up from their seats. No one did not recognize the man standing in front of the entrance of this Guild hall.

Donner and Ronner. Both of them were high-level adventurers who were only one level lower than the Ironclad group.

Ironclad's group consisted of four members, while Donner's group consisted of only two.

"Oi, Donner! What the hell's going on? Why did your sister get to be like that?!" ask another adventurer in panic.

They all know the strengths and experiences of the Donner brothers. There was no way those two people were injured this badly for no apparent reason.

"Goblins.... That goddamn goblin." said Donner in tears.

"Huh? A goblin? You said Ronner was hurt that badly because of the Goblins?" ask the other adventurers.

"Yes! Goblins! Hobgoblins! Goddamnit! I've only seen Hobgoblins that strong for the first time!" panicked shouting.

Lyra who saw severe injuries to Ronner's body immediately ran while carrying her magic wand. Trying to cure him.

"Sister, hang on." said Donner, as he continued to embrace his blood-filled body.

"Lucius! Help me!" shout Lyra. Just this time he saw the usually reserved Lyra acting like this.

Without hesitation, Lucius immediately ran over and helped to heal Ronner's body. But standing right in front of Ronner....

Lucius was surprised not to play after seeing all his scars.

The huge, deep claw wound almost severed Ronner's left arm. While his right rib was completely crushed, probably due to a blow from the monster he was fighting.

While in his stomach, intestines and other internal organs appear slightly out along with blood that no longer flows rapidly.

His right leg itself looks sprained or rather twisted up to 360 degrees. Damaging all the muscles in his right leg, he also broke all his bones.

"Yes-that's right.... Is it Hobgoblin?!" asked Lucius who directly activated his healing magic.

Hobgoblins are a sub race of Goblins that have larger bodies. Equivalent to adult male body size.

His strength was also not much different from that of an adult man, and was categorized in E-level monsters or D-level max.

Seeing such a weak monster inflicts this severe injury on an experienced adventurer....

Makes Lucius hard to believe.

"Hobgoblins are different! He had a dark green skin and a horn on his left head! His eye.... It's bright red!" scream Donner.

Sontak Lucius remembered what happened to him at noon today.

'Hobgoblins? A devil? N-no way, right?' lucius thought in his heart.

The demon in Lucius's mind was very different from that. According to him, demons were a very strong race with high intelligence and also an advanced culture.

But Goblins? A Goblin?

'Lucius, I have a bad feeling about this.' Carmilla said.

After a healing process that took up to 10 minutes, Ronner's body finally began to recover. His breathing began to return to normal and his wounds began to close.

Even so, his body was still very weak due to the lack of blood.

"Thank God. Your sister is better." said Lyra with a satisfied smile on her face.

"Thank you.... You're both.... Thanks...."

But Lucius has other plans for this.

"Rather than thank you, what if you now tell me in detail what really happened?"

"I agree with the boy" said a woman with long, well-tied brown hair.

He appeared to be wearing a Guild uniform with a green and brownish main color pattern. Coupled with a bit of thin iron armor on his shoulders, right arm and both knees.

"Gu-Guild Master Selena?!"

"Why are you here?!" ask people to panic.

Selena Stormblade's. A mid-level noble who was burdened with the responsibility of managing a Guild in this Arcanum City.

Although, he more often leaves administrative duties to others because he himself has been preoccupied with field work.

If abbreviated, Selena is one of the fighters with the final A-level classification in this city. The figure that was considered to be about to reach S level in the next few years was purely due to its strength.

"Well, be fine." Donner limped back.

............

"So while you were hunting, that Hobgoblin suddenly appeared and attacked you?" selena asked confusedly.

"That's right! And his skin is really hard! Look at! Even my sword was broken when I was about to attack his arm!" donner shouted as he grabbed the sword in his right belt.

The sword made of medium-quality metal was visibly shattered, leaving only the steel blades near the handle alone.

Selena grabbed the sword to take a closer look.

"Are you sure it's Hobgoblin?"

"I've said it many times! It's Hobgoblin!" scream Donner.

Who can believe it? A Goblin has skin that can break a steel sword?

Even Pyroclaw's skin isn't that hard.

But seeing the reality before her, Selena inevitably had to believe. And because it is....

"alright. I see." Selena replied briefly before walking into the middle of this Guild hall.

All of the adventurers in these Guilds suddenly set their sights on the Guild Master.

Waiting for what he will say.

"Everything! Attention! If the abnormal monster that Donner said was true, then the Guild simply could not allow it! Hearing his strength, it might be equivalent to an advanced A level or close to an S level.

And such a power would greatly endanger this entourage of merchants or residents who were going in and out of Arcanum City!

Therefore it is, with my power as a Guild Master, that you all give emergency Quests! Anyone who participates will get a reward of 20 gold coins! And if it managed to kill that monster, it would earn an additional 25 to 50 gold coins again!

Whoever's willing, take your weapons and get ready to hunt this monster before it's too late!" selena shouted at length.

His brief announcement instantly burned the spirits of all the adventurers within this Guild hall.

"Wuuuooooooooooh!!!"

"Of course we'll come!"

"I'm sure the Donner brothers are just making up stories!"

"Really! How could there be such a powerful Hobgoblin right?!"

"When else can earn money this easily!!!"

Everything was screaming in spirit, including Ironclad and his group.

There was only one person who was silent in fear and terror.

That person was none other than Lucius, who could only feel a bad premonition over all of this.

Moreover, recalling the fear that Carmilla had felt before....
