Chapter 104: Changing Class

“Hah…” I sighed for the umpteenth time while looking at my status screen as I walked toward my seinjet from school. The reward hadn’t cashed in yet. It still showed the pending status.

“Yuri!!” Alice hugged me from behind. “You are going to ruin your beautiful face if you keep sighing like that, Yuri. What’s wrong? Anything I can help with? Maybe I can pinch your cheek to bring your mood up a little?”

“Nah. It’s just the reward hasn’t cashed in.” I answer...

Chapter 35: We Have Loot!

“Milord! We have awaited your arrival!” Jadenbale saluted. His words and beaming expression contradicted his surroundings, as rows of injured soldiers lay on the ground. Despite that, they wore cheery expressions.

Eli was horrified at the sight. It reminded her of a field hospital in a warzone. Soldiers were bandaged from head to toe. The smell of blood filled the air.

“What happened?” Eli hopped from the carriage, but the count held her back for showing unladylike behavio...

Chapter 68: Lost

“Enemy attack! They’re besieging us!”

“Shit! The back gate was destroyed when we took this town. We can’t hold this position—we should retreat,” the general said, but Altair disagreed.

“Don’t be a chicken now. Let’s greet them first. Do they have any divine host?” Altair asked.

“Yes. We have a divine host on our side. Litmus is too cowardly,” her aide scoffed.

“Yes, ma’am. A symbiote user, Captain Sheena, is with them.”

“I h...

Chapter 67: No Quarter

The next town, Sicily, raised a white flag a few days after Litmus’ army laid siege to it. Now that Litmus’ coalition army had a real symbiote user, the army’s confidence rose to unprecedented heights. The captains searched for signs of enemy symbiote users, but none had appeared on the battlefield so far.

“Greetings. I, Bar—” A messenger’s head immediately rolled the moment he approached Altair. Hiro didn’t see anything. How did she attack? When did she even move? She h...

Chapter 34: Meeting

Several days later, Alicia and her father were invited to the palace, along with Eli and the count. The count kept fussing about the etiquette, which went in one ear and out the other for Alicia.

“Father. I haven’t even been trained in palace etiquette. Let’s stop being so harsh on her, alright?” Eli, who couldn’t stand watching her father keep berating Alicia along the way, spoke up. They were in the palace’s waiting room.

“Yes, you are right. As long as you are pol...

Chapter 103: Interlude

Kageyama POV

“This is a nightmare. I can’t believe Zenith hired a magical girl to spy on us. Moreover, a new D-rank teenage Guardian,” General Armstrong said on a phone call. The quest had been completed, so the geas that had been put on me no longer worked, and I could finally consult with him. When I felt the geas in my heart disappear, I tried to contact Armstrong, but he was the one who called me first.

He handed me an encrypted video of Lily’s report. It wasn...

Chapter 110: Seraph of Pestilence

Andrew watched the group pack their belongings as they lined up toward the exit. Kouki, Hain, and Sanders scouted the surroundings while James waited back at the star tower, making sure the citizens did not see him in the flesh. James frowned as he watched the group leave through the main door, the same one he had struggled with earlier.

“We will be leaving for a while,” Andrew said. He would earn a favor if he could escort these people to safety, but with the knight order in disarr...

Chapter 109: The Ruined Tower

After defeating the pestilence knight, James continued traversing the cave. It stretched on and on. At the end of the tunnel was a door that led straight into the destroyed city.

“What kind of city has caves tunneling straight into it?” James sighed. “Well, not the strangest dungeon I’ve encountered.”

“But this might be the first time I’ve witnessed a city get destroyed before my eyes without me doing anything. No… this might be the first time I actually saw it des...

Chapter 108: Knight of Pestilence

“I don’t care. Take the paladin and restore my legs,” James said to the system. Blood spurted from his legs. He needed to heal fast.

[Would you like to modify your body? As the target is a human, your legs will be returned to the default human blueprint.]

“Yes. Take the legs from the man with the shield.” James nodded. Black motes of light began engulfing the human, consuming him and transferring the parts to James. Human legs soon grew from James’ body.

“Shit!...

Chapter 107—The Grandmaster Knight of Mystis

“Monster! Catch him!” A group of knights was chasing James at that very moment. One of them stood out—a middle-aged man with sharp features. Despite wearing a robe, he carried a greatsword on his shoulder. A cloak with a crest depicting a blue sun draped across his back.

“Chase him! He killed our brothers!”

“Shit, why am I so stupid? I should have left instead of dawdling around, watching the refugees like some kind of attraction,” James cursed as he ran toward the c...

Chapter 106 – Third Floor

James had explored the forest and, true to Andrew’s words, there was no portal to the next floor. This floor was smaller than the previous one, and most of its space was taken up by the city, leaving few places to search. James could only sigh as he strolled around the headquarters, waiting for Andrew to return with good news. He stared off into the distance, wondering how he might sneak inside if Andrew didn’t come back.

His worries proved unfounded when Andrew appeared a few hours...

Chapter 66: Mutual’s Symbiote

“Rebecca, Cecile, Nana, Elysia, the general expects you at headquarters.” A soldier knocked on the door of the girls’ room.

“Yes, we will be there shortly.” Elysia, who didn’t need to sleep, opened the door and bowed to the soldier. The sun had risen on the horizon; the girls had slept in again.

An hour later, they gathered at the headquarters. Rebecca noticed something was different today. Some soldiers didn’t wear Litmus’ blue military uniform but wore white unif...

Chapter 102: Report

“Freya?” I called out to her, refusing to believe my ears. I must have misheard what she just said. While a part of me agreed with her, it was so unbecoming of her to abandon people as a Pink Magical Girl.

“Let them die! Why should we save them? They didn’t care about me! They didn’t care about my father! Why should I care about them!” Freya cried out.

“Felicia, can we do that?” I turned toward my familiar. Part of me agreed to let these guys die, but that would be...

Chapter 33: Trial!

On the day of the trial, Alicia was brought to another Justiciar room. The room was larger, and a crowd was gathering. Count Shadowstep, Rodrique, and several knights from Shadowstep were present on John’s side.

On the other side of the bench were several people—some rough-looking, like bandits, while others were soft-featured but had sharp looks about them. Cunning, like a weasel. Alicia assumed these people were from the Allegory Company.

Rodrique had explained to her that t...

Chapter 32: They Kept Asking Questions!

A maid came with a tray filled with food for Alicia, offering a course meal. Sitting on a nearby chair, still inside the Justiciar room.

The meal was lavish. Starting with a salad dressed in mayonnaise. Then, a warm chicken soup to stimulate the appetite. The main menu was the steak with a generous sauce splashed on it. Then came the dessert: three slices of apples, four slices of oranges, and a cake. The meal made Alicia feel like she was inside a luxury restaurant, not a prison.

Chapter 105: Sewer

Andrew returned to the knight headquarters with the relics in hand. He had talked about sneaking James in, but he had never actually attempted it before. Back when he first tackled this dungeon, all his crew members were pure humans. Anyone who attacked the knights would be killed on the spot, so he had never been hostile toward them.

“Greetings, Miss Knight! We adventurers have returned with a bountiful harvest!” Andrew beamed at the receptionist at the knight headquarters.

Chapter 104: Rendezvous

“I wonder if Andrew got the message,” James muttered to himself in the clearing a little further from the cave. He then stabbed three arrows into the ground as a marker. It would take some time for Andrew to arrive—if he could read the message—and James didn’t want to stay idle in the meantime.

After scouting the surroundings, he discovered another nest—this time filled with orcs and trolls. It wasn’t just goblins, but trolls too. James could easily defeat them one-on-one,...

Chapter 101: Masterwork Vault

“Before upgrading your vault, there are a few armor vaults I would like you to see. Your Vitality is low—even among damage dealers or ranged MGs. That’s why I think it would be best if you used some consumables and armor.”

“Armor?”

“Astral Shift gives you a basic shield, but you need more lifelines—something that can boost your chances of survival. Higher-leveled MGs will need more than just Shield Aura to survive more advanced Anathema.”

Chapter 65: The Play Continued❤

“Cecile? Cecile. She didn’t respond.” Rebecca nudged Cecile, who lay motionless on the floor. Hiro had pulled all of his tentacles and opened the window, letting fresh air from outside come in. With this, the girls knew the play had ended. For now.

Cecile was still conscious; her eyes opened. But her blank stare seemed to tell another story. It was as if she were but a mere doll. When Hiro nudged her cheeks, she seductively licked his tentacle as if she had been trained for it sin...

Chapter 64: The Long Awaited Play❤

“It’s ammunition and guns. And a lot of them too,” the captain muttered as they hauled their spoils back to Evesys Castle along with the POWs.

“Fuck it. I told you we should’ve taken the long way around.”

“Cowards! Attacking at night!”

“What were the guards doing? How could they not see knights attacking on horseback? Were they sleeping on the job?”

The POWs kept complaining all the way to the castle. It irritated Hiro just listening to them. He was...

Chapter 31: The Trial is Boring!

“Greetings, Lady Alpheusus, from Filica Countdom. I am Count Shadowstep, here to bring Alicia, the mage, and her father, John,” Count Shadowstep said to the receptionist in Althemer Palace. Alicia looked at him weirdly for remembering the name of the receptionist, thinking he was a stalker.

“Ew. How did your father know her name? Is he a stalker? The girl was literally half his age. Ouch!” Alicia whispered to Elidranthia. Her whisper was loud enough that she earned another head ...

Chapter 53: Sealed Gate

Author note: I have no idea how this one chapter was missing from patreon collection list. thanks for telling me!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

James still had more than 40 minutes left before he would be left unconscious because of the moon. Nevertheless, he felt exhausted. Thanks to the trio preparing the tent, he could get some sleep before his timer ran out.

The purple moon faded off several hours later....

Chapter 100: Home

“Freya!” Yellow Bee ran toward her as my clone collected essence from the corpses.

Chapter 103: Andrew

“Halt. Where did you come from? There aren’t supposed to be any humans outside Star City except for registered adventurers, and I know every adventurer’s face here. Are you with the Pestilence God?” A gate guard blocked their path, his tone harsh, his longsword already drawn.

“Andrew?” Hain glanced at him, his hand resting on the hilt of his own sword. Kouki mirrored the gesture, his eyes narrowing.

“W-w-wait! We’re adventurers from the city below! My name is Andre...

Chapter 102: The City of Light

James began with a Vorpal Lunge using the Sword of Khine. The red glow burned brightly from the sword in his human hand. The troll swung its giant wooden club—its weapon glowing gold. Golden meteor met red meteor, resulting in an explosion and a shockwave. Fire and golden sparks erupted as James was hurled back, his body crashing through several trees before finally coming to a halt.

“ArgH!” James groaned as he tried to stand up from the debris. He hadn’t expected to wi...

Chapter 101: Second Floor

[Congratulations. You have slain the Sword of Mystis. You have leveled up to level 57. You have earned 400 coins. Your Attacker class has leveled up to level 38. Your Novice Sword Mastery has leveled up to level 3.]

“Oh. I thought I couldn’t receive coins and EXP from infected creatures,” James said as the black oil that smeared the walls and floor of the cave evaporated. Now that the boss monster had been slain, the black ooze lingering on the ground lost its purpose. It dissipat...

Chapter 100: First Boss

[You have been infected by parasitic ooze.]

A bright flame lit up around James. He immediately doused himself in fire.

[The infection has been sterilized.]

“Shit,” James cursed. Every nook and cranny of the cave was infected with black ooze. Some of it had dripped onto his unprotected head, which caused the infection.

The flickering flames echoed against the walls, amplifying the growl that came from within the cave. With how heavily the black ooze had infested the...

Chapter 63: Count Evesys

“They’re still attacking? Why?” Count Evesys was confused. He had written letter after letter to all his relatives about the movements of Litmus’s armies. But, typical of Latvin’s nobility, they acted obsequiously when Count Evesys was at the top, only to abandon him once he fell from grace.

And so, none replied to Evesys’s plea for support. He no longer had any symbiotes under his command. With the symbiotes gone and Latvin’s failed campaign against Vertia, he had no army...

Chapter 30: Let’s Go! To the Trial!

“Father!” Eli trotted to her father, her smile blissful. With her eyes closed, others could only see her as an innocent girl, like Alicia. Such smiles betray what horrendous act they had done earlier. Her joy was met with an eternal frown from Count Shadowstep. The count glared at the knights accompanying her.

“Hey, I must have heard the reports wrong, but I heard my daughter was in jail together with those lowborn. Is that true?”

“Yes, I have confirmed that the bandits ...

Chapter 99: Waves

“The main antenna is broken beyond repair. A pterodactyl ate it along with its mana cores,” the mechanic said.

“Can’t we use the emergency comm as a main antenna?” Lexus asked.

“No. The data transmission isn’t sufficient, and its mana efficiency is abysmal. We can transmit calls for only 20 to 30 minutes at most. We need to wait for a replacement.”

“It would take at least a day for a small plane to heli-drop the equipment,” Lexus replied.

“And we�...
