...CHAPTER 29 - I'M STRONG AFTER ALL...

...◇◇◇...

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

A knocking sound was heard from outside the carriage door.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ren," Joseph said outside.

"Is it done?" I asked, opening the door.

"Yes, Sir. We can leave, after tying them to the cart," he said with a friendly smile and showed his subordinates tying up the bandits.

I nodded and he asked permission to go help his subordinates.

"I resigned, Mr. Ren," he said, who then went to his subordinates.

In the car.

"Dad.." I breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the chair with Senka sleeping by my side. Cute angel..

Then, I took something beside me and looked at him casually.

"Hmm .. This thing works fine. It's a shame that I sold it, although I might have a good status in the eyes of the Church," I said, raising the staff of the holy priest.

But if I noticed, wouldn't this be Amelia's later? He seemed to be using this staff first when he was a Holy Priestess.

But, when exactly? It seems like I've heard news regarding this stick in the future. Hm..

"Oh, now it's mine. Also I can give it to him at any time" I said firmly grasping the holy staff.

"Yepus.." Senka hugged me with her innocent smile.

"Uwaa.. My little angel.." I rubbed his head gently.

But, look at the description. I was wondering about this stick of the Sakti.

[ Wisdom Church's holy Priest's Scepter (High Grade) ]

[A holy stick belongs to Wisdom Church. Has a high affinity with Holy energy and gives a tranquilizing and anti-mental debuff effect. This wand had a special skill for the Holy Priestess. ]

His description..

But, I wonder how this would work if I gave it to Amelia? However, he had not experienced maturity.

Should I wait for the time to come? I don't know, but for now I have to see how it goes first.

"Then." said I put the stick to my right side.

I looked at some mysterious Item on the shadow storage screen and did not know what it was all about anymore.

[Cursed Ring (Monster Transformation) ]

[C Rank Magic Monster Eggs (There are 8 in all) ]

[ The Nostradamus Book ]

The three spoils Senka found in the cave, captivated me the most. All three have good function and usability.

Especially the Cursed Ring and the Nostradamus Book.

For Eggs, it is written that it cannot hatch unless someone incubates it. Similar to the old Egg. Dierami Demon and dripped by my blood, that's what Senka might feel(?)

[C Rank Magic Monster Eggs (8) ]

[Eggs containing Rank C magic monsters with Level 30 - 39 starting Levels after hatching. Contains a variety of Monsters, but the most prominent are species of lizards and Birds. Not yet able to hatch, unless someone incubates the egg and is given the blood of the mother (anyone can). ]

I wonder, do all the magical monsters of birds or reptiles need to do this to hatch their eggs? So troublesome.

"Then.. Cursed Rings.. Hmm.." I said staring at the screen.

[Cursed Ring (Monster Transformation) ]

[Cursed Ring, allowing the User to transform into a Monster who has entered into the cursed ring. Current: Rock lizard. ]

[It takes a Monster body part, it can only be used one species per ring. ]

[ Couple ring. ]

Hmm..?

Stone lizard? The Rank C magical monster species?

Looks like the change made the wearer a Lizardman or something, yeah..

Continues to..

What does this couple's ring mean? Could it be that I can find the others as well??

Last and that sounds cool.

[ The Nostradamus Book ]

[Magic book of the Ancient Hero, Nostradamus. Have the ability to predict something in the future, with a price that depends on the offerings given. ]

[Future written 10]

Is there any already? I think because someone used it before until it was finally taken by Senka.

Hm... Let me see..

I opened the book of Nostradamus and saw what it contained.

The first page contains 3 sentences.

[Medium shower occurs in Asbia City ; 783.03.12 ]

[Disease of darkness covers the Eastern Continent; 788.11.26 ]

[Rise of the Rebellion in the Kingdom of Jestes; 812.01.13 ]

Waw.. This all ever happened?

The year, date and day are complete as if this book were from that time.

Although I'm not too sure about this prophecy, this book is true.

The 7th-century seer hero, Nostradamus.

I think I can see what happened in 879, if I give this book an offering.

But what offering? The thing? The food? Or something related? I didn't know until I tried.

Then I turned to the second page, there were 3 prophecies written on that page and on the third page there were 3 prophecies also lined up.

Page 2

[Collapse of the Kingdom of Osona; 813.02.11 ]

[Red Dragon nesting in the City of Diagoros; 814.12.12 ]

[Fertile land in the city of Raffon; 816.08.09 ]

Hm..

Page 3

[King of the Kingdom of Allano had an affair with his Servant; 820.01.02]

[Pork pack Sorka sold cheap; 821.12.05 ]

[Today's food is not good; 824.08.09]

Err.. Whatisthis?

With some surprise, I turned to the fourth page where there was one prophecy and this was new.

[The wealthy nobleman of the kingdom Yu Deila carries the valuables in the forest of Alta; 879.02.11 ]

Two days ago? So then..

"Could it be, the previous owner was a Bandit or a Villain in this forest??" say guess.

The forest we were passing through was the Alta Forest, around Magna City which we were about to arrive.

"..." - ".I looked at my little girl.

Senka found it in a cave not far from here, but where is it?

I tried to stand up slowly not to wake Senka up.

"Your own? Papa?"

But, still Senka woke up and rubbed her eyes sleepily.

He looked at me sleepily, I smiled gently and patted his head.

"Ah, sorry to wake you," I said stroking his head.

"Myu~ Uu, where are you going?" Tanya Senka rubbed her eyes.

"Not anywhere, just going out. Senka can sleep in Papa's shadow really," I said smilingly.

"Good!" he said, diving into my shadow.

Then, because I'm free. It's better now that I meet those bandits first.

I opened the door and got off the carriage, the knights looked at me.

"Joseph." Call me.

"Yes, Sir?" joseph was approaching.

"I want to see the Bandit Leader," I said in seriousness.

"Well," he said firmly, then he took me to the bandits.

The bandits were tied up until only their legs could be moved, they all sat on the cart with dark faces.

One familiar person was glaring at us, his name was Jason.

'Ah, this guy.. One of the subordinates of the man, I thought they would not do any more evil.'

I approached him, The Aura of Terror has been activated.

Joseph was stunned and looked at me asking in horror.

"Tu-Master, a-what's that.."

"Calm down, come closer" I said casually.

Joseph gulped and approached me.

I gave him the Terror 'Buff in Terror Magic' magic which he instantly neutralized from the debuff of fear.

"What was that.." He looked astonished, but it seemed like it was all right.

So I approached that guy named Jason.

He didn't realize it at first, but when I was in front of him. His haughty face turned pale and fear enveloped him.

"You-you..." He looked so scared, to the point of wetting his pants.

"Hello, it's been a while." I said slowly trying to touch his forehead.

.........

[Terror Magic leveling up 3 ]

[ Tier 1 -> Tier 2 : Nightmare (new) ]

Hoo..

"So I did the right thing, yeah." I smiled at the screen that appeared.

I stared at the collapsed Jason with a face full of fear and terror. Then his men became hysterical and frightened, until they volunteered to tell the headquarters and everything I asked.

A wide grin formed on my face.

'Easy once.' I said inwardly.

Everyone other than me broke out in cold sweat seeing what was happening. Then Joseph came to my side.

"Mr Ren.." Joseph beside me was a bit confused to be scared or not when he saw me.

"Just calm down, I didn't hurt him anyway" I said with a smile.

'True, I didn't hurt him, but mentally, ' I said in my heart.

Since it's already like this, I'll ask him a few other things.

"Tell me everything, or want to see a nightmare?" I said pull Jason's hair.

His eyes were full of fear and seemed to be eager to cry, his face paled and he was peed in his pants.

I just stared at him without blinking.

"Not answered?" I said glare at him.

Still he looked frightened and spoke nothing but begging to let go.

"so.. Nightmare," I said briefly.

"Hiiiiiii?!?" Terror haunted him.

.........

"So like that, there are other bandits around here. Joseph," I said, ending the interrogation.

Joseph nodded and turned to look at the Knights behind.

"You people! Finish this fast!" Shouted Joseph.

"Yes!!" The knights hurried to prepare themselves.

I smiled and looked at the bandits who were very frightened. They saw a nightmare in front of him.

I approached them.

"So, tell me. What's the bracelet artifact and the ball that your chief ate?" I said to the bandits and pointed at the man lying pitifully.

They nodded quickly.

"good. Tell me everything" I said with a smile.

Then they say what they know.

An artifact named Alisco, a disposable artifact using the blood of the Giant in using it.

Then the marbles-shaped candy that Jason ate was the Core of the Giant.

That is, with Alisco Artifacts that make them Giant for a while, then if you eat Giant Core will make you a full Giant.

So this artifact is lower than my Cursed Ring.

I took a fragment of the Alisco Artifact.

[ Existence of Giant Fragment found. ]

[Want to use it as Senka Food? ]

Huh huh?

What does this mean??

"Food?" spontaneous talk.

"Hiii??!" The bandits near me screamed in fear, as if I were talking about it.

I ignored him and went to enter the Horse-drawn Train, The knights and Joseph went towards the direction the cave was in and left me with his subordinates guarding the carriage.

"Hm.. Do it" I said staring at the floating screen.

[ Accepted ]

Then some of the artifacts disappeared and turned into a bag of red-colored stones.

[The Giant Blood Stone]

[The stone containing the blood of the Giants. ]

Is this edible??

"Better, I'll keep it for now" I said, inserting the blood stone into Shadow Senka's Storage.

Then, I just need to wait for the good news from Joseph.

.........

...《POV Joseph Magia》...

The Cave Entrance.

We arrived in front of the Cave that the Bandits said and entered.

But no one lives in there.

"..." - ".I was surprised by what happened in the cave.

"No way.." My colleague looked at the cave in surprise.

So strange and mysterious.

Every time we went deeper, those who were left were dead and seemed to have been eaten by something.

'What happened?'

We slowly reached the end of the cave.

Many corpses and on a stone throne, a person was seen there.

We saw.

A silver-haired young girl, she hugged someone and then dropped it.

The man's dead.

'What is all this??'

"All set!!" I shouted out loud.

The knights began to prepare to fight.

"Are, any guests?" That voice sounded so close.

I slashed straight to my right side.

"Hmm?" The girl stood in front of me and looked at me.

I made the horses and pulled my sword towards him.

However, He only smiled and his red eyes looked at us aggressively.

"I'm hungry." he said with a gentle smile.

"Everything.."

Bite down. Slurp.

He immediately bit the fellow beside me.

His fangs pierced through his soul and freely sucked the blood of my comrades.

"Groan!" I shouted swiftly forward towards the Girl, not the Monster.

The knight he bit fell down and looked alive. But his condition is terrible.

"Damn!!" pissed me.

We fought, but some fell.

'What happened?! Why?!'

He's not targeting me, but it's getting longer. Our conditions are becoming increasingly unfavorable.

Increasingly, I pressed on and asked the remaining ones to come out of the cave.

Then, when it was at the cave exit.

The vampire stopped, but his face changed.

His sharp claws elongated and he became more savage than ever.

'Cannot be..' I was stunned to see him defeat all my comrades in an instant.

However, when he left me alone.

He looks confused.

"You're this?" He looked to the north, that's where Mr. Ren is.

"I won't let it!" Seeing the opportunity, I immediately jumped attacking towards him.

But..

Jleeeeeb!

"!?" I got stabbed in my stomach.

"Babhhh!" I spewed blood and stared at the Monster that pierced my stomach with his hand.

"You're lucky" he said, taking his hand off me and throwing me away.

He immediately jumped on top of the tree and jumped again into another tree until it disappeared into the forest.

"Cambodilla.." I vomited more blood, it hurt..

Hot stomach..

"Mr Ren. forgive me.." I said slowly as my vision faded.

As I was about to faint, I vaguely heard the voice of a child.

"Myu?"
