The Fate X Dungeon
Ch#18 - Emerging powerful enemies

After stepping out of the gate, I reached the outskirts of the forest at the foot of the mountain range. The imps I had previously asked to carry a magic item that could connect directly to my gate. So I can open the gate to where one of the imps is lurking at my command.

Seeing my appearance, the imp rushed down to pay his respects, and began to speak.

“I have been waiting for you, sir.”

I gave him a response, and asked him to explain the condition of the village being observed.

“Before I apologized. We've let you down, because surveillance is going badly. I just want to survive so that a little information that we can be conveyed to you.” Imp sounded sorry. “The other mp disappeared so close to that village, only at this distance can I stay afloat.”.

Then I looked at the village that had a 3-meter-high fence, and made of wood. Fences were built around the village, thus preventing anyone from entering the village carelessly. Two figures that looked like guards, stood guarding the entrance of the village.

Based on the information imp, Moore's village, very rarely activities outside the fence, in addition to hunting and sending goods. It looks like wheat and milk are products produced there, then shipped out of town for sale. Their activities sound like village life in general, where the main job in the village is farming, and raising.

After pondering for a while, I asked something that made me suspicious.

“Could a magic barrier have been installed there?” my many.

Imp felt hesitant before replying, but then shook his head after taking a short pause to think.

“I don't feel that kind of magic from there.” he said as if convinced.

Although imp cannot be counted in the fight, but as a group of demons, imp is a creature that is sensitive to magic.

I, who understood that, certainly did not think twice to believe his words. Therefore, the fact of imp's disappearance trying to get close to the village, was caused by something I did not understand.

This fact provoked curiosity in me. If the imp is skilled in stalking, until it fails without knowing the cause, the troublesome thing must be in the village.

It would be much easier, if it happened because the sorcerers living there, built a powerful barrier to ward off intruders. At the very least, I have a thousand and one ways to fight witches.

Unknowingly, I grinned as I recalled the fact, and stared straight at the village. From the beginning, I had intended to check it out straight away, so there was no point in lingering here.

“Look, what does the village belong to? Continue supervision.” I said while ruling imp.

Then I walked towards the entrance of Moore village, where two young men were standing guard. They became alert when they realized my presence.

I had previously dressed in a simple brown robe, on top of my usual robe. Storage magic from the dimensional warehouse, was a practical ability that was very useful in this kind of situation.

“Who are you? What business brings you to our village?” ask one of the guards. I, hiding under my cloak, ruled them flat.

“Call your village chief, I want to talk.”

Hearing my arrogant words, one of the larger guards started walking towards me. He tried to reach for the end of the robe I was wearing to cover my face to find out my identity.

“At least, show your face! I don't know where this beggar you are!” said rough.

Before reaching me, I first grabbed her wrist. Then with the minimum energy possible, I squeezed his hand to make a sound. His expression became in pain as the sound of bones sounded by him.

Efforts have been made to break away, but all in vain. Cold sweat washed his body, knowing his wrists could not escape me. I'm saying.

“Do not ignite my anger more than this, quickly go call the village chief!”

He together asked me to wait, and soon passed away leaving this place.

Not long after, the two brought back a middle-aged man to meet me. The age of the newly arrived man, looked older than them. However from his body emanated a very different aura from the previous two people. This person is the reason for the disappearance of my subordinate imps.

Although his body looked more stocky and contained, compared to the two guards who were with him, but he had a wooden auxiliary stick in his hand. Slowly he approached me.

If you look at him, his facial water looks more like a veteran in the war than a small village chief at the border. He began to speak in a polite tone when he came face to face with me.

“Include, I'm Gideon. People trust me as a leader in this village. May I hear the reason you came to our village?”

Because I do not want to discuss at length, I say I mean without rambling.

“I'm the King of darkness, Erza. Choosing this village as part of my territory. Give me your loyalty, I'll promise you a salvation.”

Hearing that, the gentle expression of the village chief, changed in the blink of an eye. Old Gideon looked at me sharply, exerting an intimidating pressure.

A stronger aura felt many times that of him, compared to before. It's strange that I said this, but I was amazed at him. This man has matched the pressure I released as a former hero, with his aura.

Although the two people who were with him I made tremble in fear, he stood up without flinching, looking at me more sharply.

“What are you serious about? If it's just a joke, I'm willing to let you lift your feet from here.” he said coldly. There is a different accent to his words today.

It's true it's awesome, but it's not enough to scare me. I answered casually, a question that had been imbued with a very strong killing appetite.

“Seeing your potential, it's a pity to kill you. But, if you are sure to fight me, then face the consequences that you and this village must accept.”

Gideon smiled at my words, a cold smile aimed at the opponent, who was ready to be killed at any moment. The stick he raised revealed a sword blade hidden behind it. Heavy-pitched words were spoken, along with a laugh from him.

“Haha, very funny. Let's see how you try?!”

A strong foothold, imprinted onto the ground from the middle-aged man's feet. Without lingering, he darted so quickly to my place, lifting up the sword blade that glimmered in the sunlight.

The merciless slash tore through the air so viciously, but it was stopped in the middle of the road by an invisible wall that appeared because of my magic. Unbreakable Wall, my defense magic was used before he attacked.

“Hee... interesting? You are a skilled magician, magic without neatness should need high talent.”.

He leaped backwards taking distance, preparing for the next attack. Although ordinary attacks would not penetrate the unbreakable wall, but my instincts said this person had a way to knock it down. I did not let my guard down, seeing that the horses I had deployed various supporting magic against him.

The atmosphere in the air felt like thousands of needles were piercing my skin. The power of this man, it is not wrong anymore.he is a top-class magic swordsman.

Swordsman magic is a fighter class job that combines martial skills and magic in combat. The magic pressure used to amplify his attack, could make a stone slashed by his sword become like butter.

An opponent this strong, it was only natural that the imps were unable to handle it. I smile.

Pull sekai. Who would have thought a person this strong would appear in a small place like this?

“I think I should thank you, for helping me warm up after so long silence.”

The next clash is about to happen.
