“Allow me to serve you, as Lady Xelyn did to you.”
“I too!”
“I don't want to lose!”
“I!”
“We are too!”
About 100 to 200 people swore allegiance to Dyze at the time.
“A.. What?”
Dyze initially had no intention at all to conquer this city under his command because of the quality of those who were so under his expedition.
But if this was the case, what path would he have to take?
“... I'll take your oath.”
“Yes!”
“Yay!”
“You heard that?!”
Ignoring those who seemed happy because his vow was accepted, Dyze continued:
“... But. You have to get stronger anyway. For now I still have not acknowledged your abilities. Practice and be strong so that I am not disappointed to receive your oath.”.
The atmosphere became silent, the people who had sworn at Dyze earlier were stunned to hear her words.
“.. Because that's. Stigmatizing.. I leave it to you to be strong with guaranteed.”
“Eh?”
Alpha and the others in particular Stigma were stunned upon hearing his words.
But even so they did not dispute or question Dyze's orders regarding the Stigma that would be left behind to make those people even stronger.
Seeing the Stigma that was still trying hard in front of him made Dyze say something that calmed her heart (Stigma) who was restless.
“Do not be afraid. If destiny blesses then whatever extent we are apart will surely be reunited someday.”
“Mr..”
The stigma was lowered by Hydra and welcomed by them (the citizens).
“Master! Slave promise will not disappoint your expectations!”
Dyze smiled slightly then replied to her words:
“I look forward to it.”
Hydra set foot and walked out of the city at Dyze's command.
The stigma that saw Dyze and his friends turn their backs on him was moved and delighted at the same time.
After they had vanished from his sight, Stigma sighed and turned towards the citizens and shouted: 'Stigma:
"Look! I will not disappoint my Master's expectations of you! So do not expect the training you will undergo is the usual method that you have been through as a fighter!"
"Ready!"

On the aimless journey, they all rested on top of Hydra while enjoying the gentle breeze that was blowing, and also there are cloudy clouds that protect them from the sunlight that is right above them.
Argus is seen still standing guard with magic 『 Aura Detection 』 in the corner of Hydra's head on orders from him. The magic helps Argus in sharpening the senses and can know a person's presence easily.
For Alpha and the others they are seen still thinking about Stigma— More precisely what reason did he get chosen by her?
But none of them, however, dared to question Dyze's actions regarding the Stigma appointed and trusted to make them (the citizens) stronger.
“Start. This is the right time.”
Because of her orders, Eleina began to tell everything she knew about the Sinners.
---
Sinners.
This organization was spread throughout the entire Arbeltha Continent and there was a possibility that they were also present in other Continents.
No one knows for sure what this organization wants, but clearly, they always seem interested in anything related to antiquity.
Such as Relic, ancient records, historical relics, inscriptions from a kingdom that is not recorded in history, and so forth.
The Sinners organization has several elected people who serve as executives, they are referred to as 『 The Great Seven Sinners 』.
No one knows the reason the Sinners targeted the city under the protection of Xelyn.
“You know so much about The Sinners huh?”
“It because .. Slave used to be part of The Sinners.”
“?!”
They were all stunned when they heard his words, Dyze herself was also shocked without saying a word.
“Hamba is their experimental creature referred to as Meta-Human .. And originally the servant had no ability at all to be able to go against orders from them.
But one time, the mentor of the servant who from the first moment I developed made a mess in the organization and the opportunity that the servant took advantage of to escape and change the identity of the servant.”
“Enough. Meta-human .. ‘Kah?”
Dyze smiled widely, he seemed to be quite interested in the new thing he discovered.
‘Can you identify it?’
[Please wait a moment. Processing.. ]
.
..
…
[It has been identified that the Individual named ‘Eleina’ is not fully human. There was some human tissue that was lost and forcibly added to his body. ]
‘So he didn't lie huh?’
“Sorry to interrupt, but I seem to know what they are looking for in invading the city under the protection of I.”
“Oh?” they all glanced towards the sound source— Xelyn.
“Most likely what they are after is a thousand-year-old ancient stone with writings that are difficult to understand.”
“It doesn't seem very special. Then why would they go after him and take such a risk?”
“Although it looks like that, in fact the writings have the possibility of telling a short history of the past buried deep in our memory.”
“Yes. It could have been. Chances are it has strong evidence because once humans sometimes do like to make special stones as material creations.” Argus chimed in on Xelyn's words that made Dyze look back.
“Kutarik my words. It looks like it's quite interesting. Do you know where it is?”
Xelyn shook her head and said:
“Pardon this incompetent servant. Servants themselves do not know the exact reason of the Sinners dare to invade the city under the protection of slaves. Do they have a clue? Or is it just intuition? Servant does not know it at all.”
“There is no way the organization will act rashly like that.”
Argus added Eleina:
“Most likely such rocks have now been buried deep within the Earth(land) or hidden within caves.”
“Ya it's quite troublesome anyway. But that doesn't mean I can't.” – Dyze puts on a big smile, she looks so confident.
