Weekly Chapter (1/5)
Joyce caught his breath.
Although he almost suffered a serious wound, he was able to subdue a ghoul alone.
He turned around to receive the next order. He made eye contact with Popper, who was observing the situation. Popper nodded silently.
Sylveline showed no reaction either. Her student was nowhere to be seen.
Joyce inwardly snorted.
Hadnt he co here to gain experience? Was there anything more important than taking part in the subjugation of ghouls? He was more courageous than he realized.
Popper imdiately gave the order.
Enter the house!
The knights entered the mansion. Joyce was also at the front. They thodically separated to search all the areas on both floors.
A knight shouted,
At the end of the corridor, there are stairs to a basent.
Then ca the report that there was nothing on the two floors.
Volk, the leader of the infiltration unit, ordered to assemble near the stairway.
Joyce stepped forward when everyone was in the narrow corridor.
Ill go first.
The unit leader dissuaded him.
Youre too hyped up.
Volk looked at the claw marks on his chest armor.
No matter how capable Joyce was, he had less experience than the other knights. His bravery could easily lead to disaster. Posted only on
Despite the favorable conditions, a ghoul had almost mortally wounded him.
Joyce, who realized Volks intentions, nodded.
You have to avoid fights in unfavorable environnts. This is a tight space.
Ill keep that in mind.
Well.
Volk spoke as two knights ca with torches,
You can co downstairs now. If youre outnumbered by ghouls, prioritize safety and retreat. Sylverine is in the back, so dont do anything stupid.
Understood.
Joyce went down the stairs with a torch. Volk followed him as well.
When they reached the basent corridor, there was a dark liquid pooled up like a puddle.
Blood. Pay attention so you dont slip. Volk said.
The blood was fresh, which ant sothing happened recently. Joyce was sure it was the blood of a new victim.
He walked toward the source of the blood.
Blood flowed from under the slightly open iron door.
Joyce tightened his grip on the hilt.
He opened the iron door slowly.
A ghoul, who was leaning against the door, fell at his feet.
!
When he lifted the torch, the basent could be fully visualized.
Joyce was stunned.
The knights also looked as stunned as Joyce.
Dozens of ghouls were scattered on the floor.
The man at the center of the chaos turned his head toward the knights. He was covered in blood from head to toe, with a weary expression on his face.
His identity could not be discerned because his face was covered in blood.
Youre early.
Joyce knew when he heard that voice that this was Sylverines student.
He had already sheathed his sword.
This ant he had killed all the ghouls.
He had faced so many ghouls alone?
And he didnt suffer a single scratch?
That was absurd. The knights should all think the sa thing.
Joyce almost dropped the sword he was holding.
Damien turned his head to look at the knights, who were frozen as if ti had stopped. He couldnt seem to understand why they were surprised.
This monster did not understand what he had done.
Joyce finally realized why Sylverine had not sought out other talents.
She had found soone with incomparable talent.
They underestimated the Great Mages ability to discern.
Joyce closed his eyes.
He had not considered the wide world that existed beyond Wiesel.
The arrogant knights witnessed the talent gap.
A knight, who was shocked, suddenly spoke,
Im going to report the situation!
