'h, the spar didn't go as I wanted it to.'
While waiting for the night to fall completely, I was looking back at my earlier spar and thinking of ways to improve.
Originally, after Matthew blocked my strike, I was planning to kick him in the nuts.
It is a trashy move, you say?
Heh, in a fight, the only thing that matters is the result. You must do everything to win, even if it ans destroying the opponent's future generations!
But back then, my legs refused to budge and obliterate his family jewels. Since my primary plan was foiled, I used to put Matthew in his place.
'That was satisfying~'
To spend the free ti, I closed my eyes and used to explore the town. The skill didn't allow to share other senses with the tarantulas like sll, touch, and hearing, but it was fun, nonetheless.
'25,26,27,28… did two tarantulas die?'
The baby tarantulas were only first mortal awakening rank, so it wouldn't be a surprise if a knight encountered them and eliminated them after thinking of them as monsters. Still, I decided to look into this matter when I had the chance.
The downpour had stopped, and the town was buzzing with activities. Vendors and buyers were on every corner of the street. People were going to and fro, completing their daily activities without minding the overcrowded areas.
My goals in this town were, Crown of Massacre and the holder of the armant [Word Magic].
Crown of Massacre is a High-Epic grade bound-type equipnt that increases Physique stat depending on kill count. It was a must have equipnt that I had my eyes on.
What's better was the fact that the holder of the armant and the crown of massacre are in the sa place. I wouldn't need to wander to too many locations to get them both.
Armants are inheritances that are created from attribute-holders. By extracting the attribute from the holder, it is possible to imbue it into an external object. The resulting object is called Armant.
Armants were overpowered equipnts that defied common sense. But this wasn't why I was aiming to get the armant [Word Magic]. It was because of the profession I was aiming to get.
Dev, that was the profession I was gunning for. Being an armant holder was one of the ways to have a chance of obtaining the Dev profession. This profession was going to give much needed unfair advantage over everyone in the future.
To understand the importance of the Dev profession, one would need to know more about Coalescence.
Coalescence is the rging of all surviving worlds and parts of annihilated worlds. But every world has different sets of laws and rules that govern it. This makes the worlds incompatible to combine.
It was the job of Dev profession holders to make sure the combination of worlds proceeds smoothly! It wasn't wrong to say that they were the gods of the new world!
The profession was sothing I had to get, no matter what, for my future. I wasn't planning on compromising it.
'When all is said and done, the first thing I need to do is bring the armant holder on my side and take the armant from her.'
There were two issues, however.
The holder herself didn't know that she was an armant holder and the thod to remove her armant was very troubleso.
It would take a few weeks at the earliest to get [Word Magic] from her.
As for her permission, I wasn't worried about it. She would give her armant happily, because it was no different from a curse for her.
A few hours later, it was ti for to start.
'I should get going.'
Picking the bag I brought from the Lionel estate, I wore a robe that hid my hair and face.
I opened the window and got ready to sneak out of the mansion.
The baby tarantulas had helped locate my destination, so I wasn't worried about getting lost.

Coating my body in magic power, I climbed the window sill but stopped mid-way through my endeavor.
A question popped into my head.
'Why am I trying to sneak away? Wouldn't it be the sa if I walked through the front door?'
Tsk, it seems I've read too many novels where the protagonist hides everything he does for no apparent reason.
Shaking my head, I left the room and decided to leave from the front door.
I didn't change my thod of venture because my room was on the 3rd floor and I was afraid of falling, definitely not.

"Sir Sol, where would you like to visit?"
"It's Luffy, not Sol."
I corrected the knight who was following .
Draped in robes that hid our appearance at a glance, we were roaming on the streets of the town. When I was leaving the mansion, the Viscount requested to bring a few of his knights, as a security asure.
I told him that this was a private tour, and I wasn't planning on revealing my identity, but he didn't relent until I agreed to bring two knights with .
'Hehe, this was why I gave Matthew a grace period until tomorrow. If I stripped off his knighthood today itself, he would've been thrown out of the Viscount's mansion, and I would've t him while I was roaming outside at this ti, leading to an unnecessary issue!'
But I foresaw everything and avoided the problem before it beca a problem!
'Sotis, my genius, it's frightening.'
"Yes, Si–Luffy, where should we go?" The talkative one of the knights, rnan, asked again.
rnan was short and robust, packed with firm muscles underneath his clothes, while Rowan, the tall and silent one, although seems lethargic at a glance, was quite fast.
Thinking a bit, I answered rnan. "We should go to a tavern. I've always wanted to taste the famous green ale of Rapthial town."
"Green Ale, it is then! I know a suitable tavern in that case!" rnan's face brightened at the ntion of ale.
He guided us through back alleys and less crowded areas. With the downpour no longer continuing, the town was jam-packed during the night, too.
'It's going to be troubleso to break free from them.'
It wasn't an issue to bring these two to my destination, but it definitely was an issue if they heard what I was going to say.
The chances were high their job wasn't limited to protecting but watching my actions and reporting them to Viscount. Because of my actions during the spar, the Viscount must be trying to know why I was different from rumors.
I dropped 3 with Great Boars inside them.
'This should help escape them and also allow to test the Great Boar in real combat before using it in the field.'
When we were at a sufficient distance from the dropped cards, I willed to release the boars after taking one last glance at the two knights with .
rnan was smiling lazily while muttering ale repeatedly, and Rowan looked like he was dazed. They appeared relaxed at a glance, however, noticing their muscle movents beneath their robes, I knew, these two were acting to make lose guard and watching my actions closely.
'Release'
"Kyaaaa! A Monster!"
"There is a big boar here! Run!"
"Run for your life!!"
"It's attacking ! Soone save !"
The Great Boar ran behind a tall and muscular man. I turned to the two knights who were hesitating beside . They wanted to help, but they couldn't leave alone.
"The two of you should help. I don't mind waiting for a few minutes."
"Thank you, Si–Luffy." rnan nodded to Rowan and dashed to the boar.
He swiftly saved the victim who was being chased by the Great boar, and clashed with the boar. The results of this experint were apparent in a few minutes.
Although, Great boar was one rank weaker than rnan, due to its innate high physique, it was stronger than him. The reason rnan had not yet lost was because the Great boar didn't have intelligence and rnan was slowly chipping at its stamina while inflicting small injuries at it.
Satisfied with the result, I released the other two boars.
The commotion intensified instantly, and rnan's expression paled. The people were confused and terrified of the monsters that were appearing among them out of the thin air.
Finally, Rowan, who was standing beside , apologized to and rushed to help rnan.
Their attention was wholly on protecting crowds and defeating the boars, and I used the gap to escape.
Silently moving through the crowd, I kept using the . To maintain the skill, I had to use on the baby tarantulas roaming in the town to refill my magic power a few tis.
When I was a sufficient distance away, I used on the three boars.
'Good, no one was injured seriously.' I muttered while using of the baby tarantula I left at the scene.
Dusting my palms, I smiled. 'Clean and swift. That's how you do a job.'
With the knights out of the way, I reached my destination fairly easily.
'Slave Trade & Co'
Those were the words written on the large board above the gate in front of .
