The Devil Tears: Lord of the Night
Arc 1 Chapter 35: Preparation

5 Days later, in a forest east of Rhine City …

“ Liz, behind you there are 3 gremlin coming.“ Luciel commemorates Liz.

Liz then turned around after killing the 2 gremlin she was fighting.

“ grraraaahhhh!!! “ The Gremlin jumped into Liz's face, but Liz punched him in the face with her left hand. The gremlin bounced and crashed into the Gremlin behind him.

Liz then gave them a sadistic smile and walked slowly towards them.

The three Gremlin were frightened and tried to escape. But Liz was faster and slashed the three Gremlin.

Gremlin is a goblin-like monster sized like a small child and has wide earlobes. They often eat the livestock of the population and the threat is a level 1 muster. However, there are some dangerous gremlin like the winged Gremlin which is more aggressive and large.

...Note Author: The Gremlin...

In front of Luciel there were now 2 Gremlin running towards him. They jump, but Luciel manages to dodge and thrust his knife right into the heart of one of the Gremlin.

He then did a kick about the other Gremlin that made him bounce and hit a tree.

“Good kick.“ Liz approached Luciel.

Liz today helped Luciel complete the Level E Quest. Liz herself had risen to Hunter Rank Novice yesterday and already had the ability to complete a D-level Quest.

‘ I can not hold back too long Liz development .'

“ Thank you Liz for helping me complete this mission.“ Luciel then cleaned the blood of the Gremlin on his knife.

“ It's okay – what, I also want to know more about the geography around this city before doing a higher Quest. “

They rested in a large tree for lunch.

“ How is your mentor search Liz? I've been looking for a Retired Knight in this town but the pay is too expensive you know,“ Luciel said.

“ Equal, average – average I met cost 5 Gulden per month!! Where can I find that much money,“ protest Liz.

“ And I think this is the last time I ask for your help to do a Quest together,“ Luciel said.

“ Why Ciel? I don't mind,“ asked Liz.

“ Pay for Quest Rank E is very small, and this will hinder you getting money and growing,“ Frankly Ciel.

Hearing this, Liz was silent. Seeing the situation become awkward Luciel then changed the topic.

“ I heard Guild will announce a monster extermination in a rubble “ Luciel change chat.

“ Yes, if not wrong the Quest level is level D and can be followed by Hunter Rank Novice to Rank Silver,“ Reply Liz.

“ How is the detail? “ Ask Luciel.

“ Guild is docking it with the Rhine City Wachtmeister and the Holy Knight Order. It is said that in the ruins of the first Saxon Magic Tower found many monsters released by the Devil Cult. “ Liz then explained to Luciel the info she heard.

According to the report from the Holy Knight Inquisitor, the movements of the Devil Cult had now become strange. They began to take out their Mutant – in every corner of the kingdom which was, resulting in the Holy Knight Order being overwhelmed by not having enough personnel to eradicate them all. The Holy Knight Order hopes that the Guild can eradicate the monsters that the Devil Cult unleashed so that the Holy Knight Order can easily hunt down the Devil Cult who released the monster – monsters.

After a while of rest they then decided to return to the city and report the completion of the Quest.

Near the ruins of the former Saxon magic tower, a masked man was treating his wounds – wounds after several fights.

“ Shit, now the Inquisitors are also after me. I guess I should temporarily lower my activities. “

After meeting with his Master's followers, he arrived – arrived ambushed by two inquisitors.

“ Invocare “ The man cast his spell and then a magic circle appears showing a time.

‘ I've promised her.. I'll protect her no matter what. Despite having to sell my soul to the devil even ‘

The man returned to his determination.

It was in the Rhine City Guild.

“ Beneerr bro.. Bang Ethan cool bangett... “ A 15-year-old man is telling his story half drunk.

“ His sword ignites the fire of Byuurrr... Fushhh and dies deh Trolll.“ He then drank his beer back.

“ Is it true you saw it all bang Alan? “ Tanya Luciel who was beside her was also drinking beside her. He was a bit doubtful about the story he told.

“ Heyy.. Baciel.. You should be more polite when talking to your senior you know.. “.

“ Losers like you don't need any respect, You can only hide running when the Troll comes.“ A Brown-haired Woman in witch clothes cut her words.

“ Shut up Serlina!!! Why do you girls underestimate me so much. You are like Sister Rhea, can only scold me during practice and never give me a clue what –, senior and fellow Peelit,“ protested Alan.

But the four people at the table did not respond to his words and Alan felt something strange. He looked back and saw a tall woman crossing her arms.

“ Looks like you still have to learn something Alan.“ The woman grinned then raised him with one hand and dragged him out of the Guild.

“ Too..long me Serlina!!! I will die..no!!! “ Alan's voice is still heard even though they are already outside.

Luciel and Liz knew them when they did the Quest together 2 days ago. Alan A Sword Dancer, Serlina a Mage and Paul a Tank. Their team along with their team of mentors conducted a Troll-killing Quest near the Rhine river this morning.

“ Doesn't the Troll have the power of regeneration, how do the seniors beat him? “ Ask Luciel.

“ Yes, the seniors must use an attack that gives a continuous effect to prevent the Troll from regenerating,“ Paul replied Luciel.

“ Yes, thanks to him I had to be carried by Paul when I came home because I ran out of mana,“ said Serlina.

The three of them were Hunter Rank Novice just like Liz.

“ By the way – by the way, you guys are following the extermination in the ruins tomorrow? “ Ask Liz

“ I don't think so, Bang Ethan our mentor said there would be too many dangerous monsters there “ Paul replied.

“ Yes, different from Trolls that despite having a large body, but the movement is very slow so we can join with our mentor in completing the Quest “ Serlina explained.

“ I think we will do an E-level Quest at Munichea mining, you two want to come along? “ Bargain Paul.

“ How is the mission details? “ Ask Luciel.

“ 100-man bandit gang attacked Munichea gold mine and infuriated Duke Lambert “ Serlina said.

“ Due to a shortage of personnel, the patrol force was busy with the increasing crime that occurred due to the war and asked the Guild for help for the Hunters to help them. “ Add Paul.

“ Alright, I'm with “ Luciel replied.

“ Okay, we'll see you tomorrow here when the first bell rings. I think it's time I saw that loser “ Serlina said.

Paul and Serlina then leave the Guild to catch up with Alan.

“ Liz will still participate in the extermination to the ruins? “ Luciel and then drink the beer.

“ Yes, you are careful – Hate Ciel “ Liz said

“ I should have said so, your place is much more dangerous you know “ Luciel replied.

‘ I hope tomorrow will be smooth – just fine ‘ Luciel hope.
