A New Party Member

After all had been settled, Emile went back to the royal capital with the holy knight. She had one thing in mind, to return and take control of the town and remove it from the hands of the evil empress. She wanted to get a seal of approval from her father. Tituna had also returned.

Tsuoma began looking around for new party members. Agnolia, Teruki, Tiatha, Jiyoki, and he made up five members, he needed two more in order to complete his party.

Since their party wasn't yet complete, they were given an F rank mission. The reward was five thousand dalfs'. Tsuoma was angry at this down the hatch mission, they were to find a crimson spider monkey. The spider monkey was toying with a farm and the owner needed people to help him drive out the pest.

In their new home which Agnolia with her influence was able to get, Tsuoma vented out his anger. His hand crashed into the wooden table leaving a dent on the structure.

"That leech thinks he can torture me this way. I have a mind he deliberately gave us this mission to torment me and not guage my strength. Because I humbled Coron, no worries, I will show him how to finish a mission." "Calm down Tsuoma, you are already burning up and smoke is coming from your head." "Teruki, I will calm down."

He felt himself suddenly becoming calm and all his worries going away, he was no longer angry. This came as a shock to him and he looked at Teruki. She was shivering a bit from the effect of taking away his pain, he was hurting.

He checked her status.

"She is really powerful." He said amazed. He was in awe of her powers. Her mana had reduced a bit by taking away his pain. He smiled and touched her returning her powers. This was a new skill he had picked up after fighting Midrash. He had leveled up a bit and gotten an extra skill. Energy Sharing. The ability to give others energy.

He was surprised to see she had gotten power bestowal before he got it, but she couldn't use it well yet. She probably didn't even know she had it. The goddess blessed Teruki also.

He decided to look around for the last members of the party alone. He left the girls and walked out to the city. Staying alone with five girls was sure tiresome. He hoped he would come across a strong man around his age.

Moving around the city, he was awed by the beautiful landscapes. The city was in an octagonal shape and it looked like everyone could see everyone else as the city faced everywhere. There was a building made totally of gold and it glittered under the afternoon sun, elves, dwarfs, dragon born moved around peacefully enjoying the peace and quiet. Two knights in golden knight robes stood at the front of gates holding spears and sheated swords on their hips. An orb floated around and Tsuoma looked at it and knew it was looking at everywhere for security reasons. It was just like a security camera in a bank. He deduced that this must be a palace. The empress must have kept someone here as her representative. "I wonder who it might be."

Clang! Clang! Clang!

He heard clanging sounds and he knew swords were hitting each other. He hurried to the center of the noise and saw many people had gathered. He pushed till he got to the front and saw a boy of probably eighteen years of age fighting a much older and stronger man. At the boy's back were a woman, a man who was already bleeding from his two decimated arms. Two young girls who looked alike were holding tightly to the woman as the boy was flinged away and he landed on his head. He yelled as blood spurted out of his mouth. His entire face was bloodied and he was staggering. The guards around didn't interfere. Something felt strange to Tsuoma. The boy was no more than eighteen but his aura was much, looked like he was royalty. He then scanned them and he was awed to see they were royals, some people then confirmed his statement. "The Tachuu family, one of the guardian royal homes. They have ruled this city for long, all the guardian royals have been killed and they are the last of them."

Tsuoma was in awe at this, the young boy was a royal. He must get him, he couldn't lose him to death, but what could he do.

The young guardian stood up and spread out his arms to protect his family, he was breathing heavily and bleeding profusely. "I am Ashrua Niyu Tachuu, a guardian, I shall not lose. Spirit of the elements, grant me powers to defeat my foes, I call to you superior spirit of earth, give me your strength."

The boy began to grow muscles and the earth began to crack underneath. His face began showing black marks which spread all over his face. Space cracked behind him and he put his hand behind and drew out a sword made out of earth. "Give my legs speed, superior spirit of wind."

The man was surprised to see all this, normally a guardian could control one spirit for attack and defense but in some rare cases two but this young one was controlling seven and not just any spirit, superior spirits. The seven elements are Water, Wind, Fire, Earth, Lightning, Light and Dark. Other elements came from mixing either of the elements together. The guardians were in charge of guarding the kingdom from demons and monsters and the royal guardians were allowed to rule in wherever city they were found. There were five royal guardians in this particular nation and were spread all over the cities of the nation. The man smiled.

"Who would have thought you were the strongest guardian, at least I get to rip you apart. You are lucky to see me like this, I am one of the lesser demon knights but I still have enough power to wipe out half this city. Tsuoma suddenly moved forward and time stopped moving. He got to the man's front and punched him in the throat, he was sent flying and crashing into a stall. Ashrua was surprised to see what happened. "Yo, my name is Tsuoma Sadeo, wanna join me and my team." Ashrua began laughing.

"You a mere human dare to tell me that? By the way I am busy."

Tsuoma chuckled mischievously. "Busy with what?'' Ashrua turned to look at the lesser demon and saw he was bleeding. The demon stared surprisingly at Tsuoma. "When did he?" "I am Tsuoma Sadeo, remember my name, lesser demon." The demon exploded into nothingness. "Unbelievable, he even wiped out his spiritual energy meaning he can't reincarnate. Who is this guy? He stopped time and killed a lesser demon, I had to transform to kill him but he, how did he even do it and his mana seems weak." He suddenly got a flash. The wind spirit showed him how Tsuoma stopped time and had already slashed him before time stopped fully, so the demon was dying slowly.

"He is powerful, he can wipe out this nation without anyone not even we the guardians knowing. Wind spirit how is the area?" "The entire nation has fallen under his spell." He gasped. "Though we have a small nation but his spell affected two thousand people at once."

Time returned and everyone were awed to see the Demon Knight body parts scattered. Tsuoma winked at him. "Come join my group. I will be at the Berserk Stronghold Guild. See you, when you come, ask for Tsuoma Sadeo, you will be directed to me, bye."
