Wanted Person

New Mission

The knights and their leaders immediately met the five heroes who had just finished their business at the holy place. They also explained the purpose of their arrival and told about the sixth hero.

"What...? there were other heroes in that dark room beside the five of us...?"

"Yes… it was all my fault for not realizing the code Miss Karan gave me when we met for the first time."

"What...? Karan...?"

Everyone turned to Karan so that she could only nod slowly. Karan was in a difficult position at that time because a knife kept sticking to her body.

"I'm sorry… I was so scared at that time that I couldn't even make a sound... not to mention that person was able to hide his presence... the only thing I felt from him was the blade of a knife sticking into my body…"

"It's not your fault miss Karan... I'll be looking for the sixth hero soon... but I need your help... can you draw his face...?"

The leader of the knights tries to calm Karan down and asks her to draw a sketch of the sixth hero's face. A paper and pen were given to her, and Karan immediately drew it with all the memory she had left about the sixth hero.

"This is the best sketch I could make…"

Everyone is shocked to see a pretty detailed sketch where Karan draws the face of a slim man with messy hair.

"What a nice sketch... I'm sure we can find it quickly using this sketch…"

"Thanks… "

The leader of the knights immediately rushed to issue wanted posters throughout the Neutral Zone area. He also commissioned adventurers with tracking abilities to search for the whereabouts of the sixth hero.

"Hmmm... there's no mistake... this guy is moving quickly out of town... looks like the target this time is a lot smarter than we thought…"

"that person who is your target is one of the heroes summoned to this world... don't underestimate him... if something happens... don't hesitate to summon me…"

"Okay... thank you Mr.Goblin."

Delia quickly moved in the footsteps of the sixth Hero who had exited the Neutral Zone. She even checked the houses and carriages seen outside the Neutral Zone without exception. Her abilities as a scout were indeed the best among other adventurers. Not only that, but she also got a magic eye that can be used to track someone.

'I have to thank the person who drew this sketch... because the face of the target with the sketch image is very similar... the difference is only a little…'

Delia moved smoothly as she managed to find a clue about her target. The target had left footprints when the group that brought him out of the Neutral Zone rested.

'I can see him... I can see the figure of the target from this distance... now it's just a matter of bringing him back to the Neutral Zone…'

Delia moved very smoothly after the carriage and appeared suddenly beside her target. Delia's touch certainly made the thin man who was her target surprised.

"Gotcha…"

"Wh-what...!? Who are you...!?"

"I am the adventurer assigned to capture you and bring you back to the Neutral Zone… I suggest not to fight... because I'm much stronger than you think…"

The thin man ignored Delia's warning and started to move to escape. He even disrobed his cloak to facilitate his escape. Delia couldn't help but sigh as her mission became troublesome.

"Hahaha… there's no way I'd let myself get caught after such painstaking escape… I'm also not a weak person when compared to another otaku…"

"hee... I see... your speed is quite good…"

The thin man immediately twisted his body and threw a kick horizontally at Delia who was beside him. Not stopping there, the thin man directly threw two throwing knives at Delia with precision.

*tap tap…*

The moment Delia caught the two knives that were thrown at her, a thin man appeared in front of her and executed a slash. Delia easily dodged the knife slash that was directed at her.

"Hmmm… your skills are indeed different from most skinny guys I know... you can carry out attacks well... but…"

"But what…?"

"You're slow... and your abilities are only slightly better than the ordinary humans in this world… perhaps your abilities could be on par with the leader of a lowly bandit group…"

The thin man was speechless as he realized the obvious difference in strength. But the thin man always used his brains and he was also aware of Delia not fighting back.

"My current ability is still very low... but... no one will know if we meet again in 1 year…"

The thin man kept his stance while preparing to use an item from his bag. He held a green-colored orb and a blue crystal containing a magic circle.

'If only I had leveled up... maybe this woman wouldn't be such a difficult opponent... I would have made her my sex toy when we met in 1 year... but for now, I was forced to use my precious stolen item…'

"Bye bye…!"

*BUSH…*

An explosion of green smoke covered the entire area around the thin man. Even though the thin man's form was invisible, Delia remained focused using her magical eye. But her body immediately felt a stinging pain when he used the magic eye.

"Uhaackkk…! Po-poison…!?"

Delia quickly jumped out of the green mist that was all around her. Delia immediately took out her magic sword, then she shot to the ground while swinging her sword.

*slash… wind explosion…*

Her extremely heavy sword swing created a blast of wind. The blast of wind sent a green mist flying and vanishing.

"Tch… he's already running away... this poison is interfering with my control of magical energy…"

Delia couldn't use her magic eye properly. She also lost track of the thin man who became her target.

'Are you okay...? I feel the signs of poison in your body…'

'I'm fine... but it looks like I've been exposed to a new type of poison that's been being talked about on the black market lately…'

'A new type of poison…?'

'Yeah… Magic Curse Poison… you know about that Mr.Goblin…?'

'Oh, you mean that semi-finished poison…'

'Semi-finished…?'

'Yap… that poison was our master's creation... one of the failed projects… it was sold by him to obtain funds for the construction of the Vampire Capital… the effects of the poison will wear off after a few hours… for now you better get back because we got a new task from our master...'

'Understood... I'll be right back…'

On the other hand, a thin man who managed to escape arrived at a cave. He used his knife to kill wild goblins living in the cave. The wild goblins that resided in the territory of the human race were mostly low-grade species. They were from small-scale dungeons that were often overlooked because they lacked valuable materials and the monsters were weak.

"What an inappropriate opponent for Anton Barigaja... I didn't even feel any improvement after killing more than 10 monsters…"

It's different from the goblins who are in the territory of the demon race. Most of the goblins of the demon race's territory had human-like intelligence. They could speak and had no monster core inside their bodies. They can even evolve when fighting against other monsters. it was very different from monsters from dungeons which could only evolve with the dungeon master's permission.

"Hmmm… these goblins are so weak... they died instantly when I cut their throats. Then they turn into crystals like this… really interesting... now let's see what they keep in the cave."

The thin man who called himself Anton Barigaja explored the cave deeper. He killed more stray goblins in the deepest part of the cave and found some protective armor. The armor was piled up near the chair the goblin leader was sitting on.

"Leather armor... breastplate... there's even a sword here…"

Anton checked all the armor and equipment he found. He chose some leather armor that suited his body.

"So many choices... who would have thought that only 27 goblins could kill so many humans. even this chair is also made from human bones... eh...?"

When he touched the chair of the goblin leader, Anton moved it accidentally. Then he found a door behind the chair.

"Looks like they still keep some stuff in this place… Let's see what's behind this door."

How surprised Anton was when he opened the small door. He saw a fairly large room and 5 bodies of naked women in it. Their hands were tied, but their bodies were still warm.

'So this is a scene I've seen in movies about goblins... where they kidnap women of other races to serve as tools of lust… but... don't they have female goblins...? why should they bother kidnapping other races...?'

Anton was silent for a moment because he was thinking about too many things. He kept thinking while checking the condition of the bound women in the room.

'Haaa… for now, I better use the five of them... there's no need to think about anything else... because I don't have much information about this world either.'

While Anton was enjoying all his findings in the cave, the entire beast race territory became very busy. They were busy preparing the welcome for the Vampire King's arrival who was visiting on business.

"Report… everything needed for reception is ready…"

"Great… now let's wait for the arrival of this new Vampire King... is he really as rumored or not…"
