(Third person)
As the night arrived, at the capital of the kingdom of Inizio. Inside the castle at the office of the king's adviser, Herbert Conroy.
He massaged his forehead as he turned his gaze towards the man wearing full body armor in front of his desk. "How's the mission, Captain Callan?"
Callan removed his helt revealing his jet black hair and a pair of sharp gazing black eyes. "All the mbers of the new magus federation were eliminated. However, Based on the situation in the summoning room, soone made it their first, slain them, and took the Magerna's grimoire, killing 3 of our ambushers stationed inside the forest next to the base in the process."
"Did they manage to summon one?"
Callan chuckled at the question and instantly covered his mouth as if Herbert let out a humorous joke. "Forgive , sir. I don't think they did, even the best mages in the kingdom can't, how co low-tier mages like them could?"
Herbert paused for a second and nodded. "You have a point. Now, I'm giving you the responsibility to locate Magerna's grimoire. We can't afford to let anybody else get their hands on that dangerous demonic book, that book is the embodint of catastrophe itself."
Callan bowed. "Consider it done, Sir."

(Casimir Kist)
The wind was blowing through the forest around us, along with the sound of owls and wolves from the distance.
I put my hand near the fire of the campfire I made as our source of light and heat in this cold and dark woodland.
I drifted my gaze on Misha munching the chicken on a stick I bought earlier before leaving the kingdom, I had already eaten mine.
Maybe she noticed watching her and imdiately put her food down and looked down.
"Just eat, don't mind ."
She paused for a second, raised her food, and continued to eat.
I left her alone and just put so firewood on the campfire, the next thing I knew, she was already done and watching .
I smiled at her. "Where are you from?"
"A village... near the demon kingdom."
"Are your parents still there?"
She shook her head. "They died... protecting ."
I really need to ask, am I?
"I see, forgive for asking such a personal question."
She just nodded and watched the campfire.
As the night went deeper, both of us took our rest, Misha used her oversized robe as her carpet to the ground while I on the other hand slept while sitting and leaning against a tree.
However,
Sothing unprecedented happened as I opened my eyes due to the rustling coming near us.
I imdiately stood up after seeing a group of knights standing a few ters away from , where Misha was supposed to be sleeping.
"Do sothing I won't like and you will see this demon's head rolling on the ground." Captain Miguel announced while holding a sword on Misha's neck.
Around him were about 10 knights clad with full-body armor and swords looking at with ominous amusent in their eyes.
Really? We're actually doing it?
Captain Miguel laughed. "Look at you, acting like a tough hero, do you really think you can run from ? This is your punishnt for ssing with , young man."
8 of the knights with him scattered around .
"How did you find us here?"
"It's actually simple, you're carrying a demon with you, there's only one place you can go, to the lawless town, and to my surprise, you really are predictable, like a big talk coward that you are."
Yep, he's quite smart if I must say.
I exhaled. "Don't tell , you're gonna punish while holding her? Is that how knights in your kingdom do things?"
"Of course not." He pushed Misha to the 2 knights behind him. "Don't let that thing go this ti, or I'll crush both of you."
Oh, it's the sa 2 knights earlier.
"Let tell you this first, I will give you a chance to leave us alone, in return, I will forget about this, however, if you still want to go for it? Keep in mind that I already gave you my first warning earlier inside the kingdom, now, don't bla for what's gonna happen next. You are the one pushing to do it."
Captain Miguel faced again and raised his sword, he's using a different sword from earlier this ti. "You really are full of arrogance aren't you? So you know, This sword can slice through anything. Do you know what that ans? I will turn you into minced at!" As he walked slowly towards , his sword gradually beca covered in fire. "Don't need to express your praises, I know, I'm an elite who specializes in Fire magic, as you can see, I can wrap my sword that can slice through everythi-"
His scream resonated around the area as his entire body was instantly covered in fire and slowly fell to the ground.
That's the elite who specializes in Fire magic for you.
After a few seconds of being burned alive while screaming in agony, he finally stopped moving and no longer scread like an oversized white-skinned goblin.
All the other knights could do was to watch his agonizing death.
I scratched my head. "Oh, forgive , I ran out of patience."
"Damn you!"
The eight knights scattering around sprinted towards at once.
I activated my Fire magic and burned down 2 of them, then Wind magic and sliced off 3, I gave them a painless death by just slicing off their necks.
"Damn it!" Shouted the other knight as he ran towards while swinging his sword.
I aid my hand at him and to the other one on his way to and imprisoned them inside a huge water ball and used my Ice magic to freeze them inside.
There's still one remaining, but rather than attacking, he tried to flee.
I activated my electricity magic and amassed a huge amount of electric energy in my palm and aid it towards him.
"It's already too late to escape."
The thunder strike roared as the massive light of energy surged from my palm towards the fleeing knight and instantly annihilated him.
When you try to take soone's life, you should expect the sa outco for yourself.
A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
Here we go again, I just killed more people without hesitation, and just like the last ti, I can't feel anything. I just killed 9 people, but I'm feeling no guilt, no regret, nothing.
It felt like I just did sothing very mundane, like killing so annoying mosquitoes flying around .
What is happening to ?
What that summoning spell did to ?
I exhaled and turned my gaze at the 3 people looking at with disbelief on their faces.
The remaining 2 knights no longer holding Misha and just let her stand next to them.
However, I'm not surprised, knowing their behavior earlier back inside the kingdom, I already expected it.
"Forgive that it has to happen." I calmly said.
One of them walked towards while shaking his head. "No, forgive us that we can't do anything. To tell you the truth, this man is not even a captain material, he just received his rank due to his family influence. I'm sick of obeying his wicked orders."
Misha ran towards and hugged my waists. "Mister Casimir."
"He did this out of personal grudge towards you, that's why he didn't report it to the kingdom. It ans, to the kingdom's eyes, you are just a faceless fugitive." He smiled. "Farewell, and I hope we won't et ever again."
I smiled and nodded. "Let's go, Misha."
Misha waved her hand at them. "Thank you so much, Mister knights."
The 2 knights just exhaled, scratched the back of their heads while trying their best to stop their smile.
"Just go, brat!"
