The Saint Class Reincarnator
CHAPTER 55: THE SHADOW WOMAN

Veronica opened her eyes again and saw the territory filled with green trees, but it would not be long before it would wither and die.

And there someone approached the newly arrived troops.

“Is there a message from Prince?”

Then as the representative of a knight came forward and spoke up.

“Yes, this is from him.” The knight gave a piece of paper to the man wearing the robe and read it.

“H... Where then? Ah, you are what he meant.” shortly after that the man wearing this blue robe found Veronica and her face became brilliant with a smile of laughter.

Veronica did not know what to respond to and looked at this man with just a suspicious look.

“Haha, yeah. The Prince always thought of strange strategies. Then what's your name young lady?”

This man extended his hand. For a moment Veronica looked at that hand gloomily. Guidelines in his life at that time reacted, that never trust anyone with a suspicious smile and again people who want to try familiar in this atmosphere.

However, Veronica shook that hand and smiled.

“My name is Veronica, greetings know.”

It was his poker. This time he had to resist that desire.

The man nodded happily and replied with a wiggle of his hand, “Yes, my name is Cedric Alphine, Wizard Rank-A. Although different from his Highness Prince, here and there I am quite talented, so please help him.”

Instantly the understanding entered Veronica's head.

‘So he's the investigating Wizard inside the dungeon called that bastard's man.’

After taking off the handshake, Veronica's expression fell and a gaze appeared that studied intently the figure in front of her.

‘This guy, I'll watch him.’

With awkwardly Wizard Cedric spoke. “How can it happen?” it's weird to be a question.

Veronica spontaneously answered him as if she understood what he meant.

“Not difficult. I'm just someone who needs a job. Surely I will fall in the scenario he prepared.”

At least Cedric chuckled little “Haha Prince is indeed a little tight with it. But trust me Prince is not a bad person.”

Hearing that, Veronica's countenance fell flat.

‘What rubbish did this idiot say!?’

Then Cedric's gaze on Veronica turned slightly anxious.

‘Is it true the Prince sent a woman in Raid this time?’

After that he blinked his eyes for a moment and accepted it.

“Are you alone, miss Veronica?”

Cedric guided Veronica to the camp where all the forces were on standby now. In front of the dungeon's huge gate.

“No. They are going with other knights to get ready for our first stage.”

“That's written on the note. The first stage is the group ‘Miners’ will enter first.”

“Ya.”

Veronica's short answer made Cedric a little tense and thought, Is it true that everyone who works with the Prince is a cold person?

He won't get used to it.

“Do you need help?” hesitantly Cedric made a free offer. Responding to Veronica just by glancing at her then******breath can be heard.

“No need, as you say Mr. Cedric, here and there I am quite talented in the field of combat if need be. So thank you for the offer.”

Then Veronica walked first and gathered with her group and started a small meeting.

Cedric paused for a moment to look at Veronica who was a woman who looked innocent in his eyes. He was a little worried that the woman seemed to be about to enter into that terrifying terrain.

Someone came up to Cedric and made a heavy sound.

“Cedric, what do you see?”

“Eh!?” hearing that Cedric flinched and his face became slightly red, “No, no!”

“Hm? You're acting strange..” trying to see where Cedric was staring earlier, the man who spoke to Cedric cleared his throat with temptation. “Hmm~ does Cedric the quiet guy finally move?”

“A-what are you saying?! It's not like that, honestly.so stop it..” Cedric could only sigh letting out his grievances.

“Hahaha, alright, alright.”

Then then the atmosphere changed a little bit that initially the joke now changed.

“So, will you stick to your stance?”

Without glancing at the source Cedric spoke very well and his gaze was a little gloomy.

“Yes. Sorry Reich, whatever you're planning, I'll stop you.”

The same Reich Wizard Rank-A as Cedric turned around and patted Cedric on the shoulder before finally leaving and leaving the sentence.

“Haha, try to stop me Cedric. At least you're aware. Whatever you do you won't be able to stop me, remember the lives of your colleagues.”

Gritting his teeth, squeezing his fist tightly until the wound from his fingernail made his skin tear and bleed. Cedric put on a desperate look.

Had he been able to be a little strong then this incident would not have been possible.

His comrades become hostages and their lives are in danger.

The most important and the one he could never report to the central side of the Kingdom because of the threat...

Between him cooperating or choosing to sacrifice his partner's life for the hundreds of lives that would be lost if he did.

His body that was about to sink into despair again tried to be rational.

‘At least I should be able to stop this no matter what.’

It is impossible to choose between these two conditions. However, he decided to take both.

Until the plans of the Reich to create a Dungeon Break would fail!

***

Veronica and her group had been standing in front of the dungeon gate.

One carrying a Detection device still said that no movement or abnormal occurred so that the level of the dungeon still remained stable.

With the miner's tool Veronica held it on her shoulders. Cedric next door spoke.

“Are you sure to log in with only 5 of your members?”

“Yes. It's not like me and my group are going to do the second or third phase. Continuing what has been informed that we can only enter with a number of 5 people, is not it.”

Answering Cedric, Veronica just put on an uninterested face, she moved her mining equipment boredly.

“Ya, that's true, but..”

As if not to be outdone by this, Cedric gave Veronica a hard time following in his footsteps.

“You... Are you worried about something?”

Cedric. His face was a little pale and sweaty.

That was enough to make Veronica draw the conclusion, that there was indeed something.

It was like he had seen that since just now only this man had not been too calm. While the other troops waited for their turn calmly and remained at their consistency. Only Cedric seemed very worried about something.

It was as if he was slowly seeing death before his eyes.
