Who?

"The proposal?"

Cleon kept his plate in the back, and went back to sit at the diner. "Yes, it has to do with my request to you earlier, Cleon." Said the captain.

Request, perhaps the intention was about resigning from the Royal Forces and becoming a full-fledged Conqueror.

But it won't be easy, he will have to deal with the army commander directly, if he wants to resign.

Moreover, it is possible that he will be given a test by the government before actually leaving the team. Considering he was the one targeted.

"So, what do you propose?"

"We will go deeper, this is for the sake of strengthening ourselves." Obviously captain, his face is very serious, his sharp gaze is no less than Cleon's gaze.

A speck of purple light in their eyes was visible due to the reflection of light from the purple curtains covering the windows.

"That's it?" Hestia looked bored, not only did Cleon have the advantage of being immune to the Abyss curse, but Hestia and the captain also had it.

But the government is not interested in them, for whatever reason.

"Yeah, that's it."

" In that case, we immediately agreed, but before that, Captain, and Hestia, please accompany me to resign before the Commander. It's not gonna be easy."

It's getting dark.

Cleon now lives alone. He'll do his best.

"Well, I'd better get out." He touched his chin using his thumb, decided to calm himself out there.

Maybe he can find something to make him laugh, maybe.

Lock the door, step foot, leave the small garden in his yard. The red flowers he planted with Chloe last year are still blooming beautifully. In the clouds that look orange, birds fly. Under the beautiful clouds the birds danced, welcoming the arrival of the afternoon. Not only the birds, but the dragonflies also fly under the light of the twilight sun.

He set his foot on the stone floor of the middle of the city. People are active as usual. "Mama I want that!" whining a little boy while pulling his mother's clothes. "Sweetie, today you look prettier."

Unnoticed by himself, a calm smile blossomed on his lips. The people in the capital Atrium were still the same as before.

They remain Random.

"Come on-Come on! Take a look and try it!"

"Come on brother! In the afternoon while single like this, Try This squid satay!" the merchants offer their wares, on all available. Make a sound to attract the attention of buyers.

"Fun as always." He muttered.

"Boss, no alcohol."Cleon ordered a drink where it was available. "Wait a minute, brother!" He said friendly.

"Hey, how are you?" A woman with a robe patting her shoulder, this woman looks very dignified.

"C-Conqueror Elysia?? W-what's the matter?"

Surprised of course, Conqueror Elysia is the best Conqueror so far. A fighter with a huge scythe who had set her foot on the 6th floor of the Abyss.

Although she gave the bad news that the Abyss didn't end up on the 6th floor. In other words the floor is very much.

She was also the only Conqueror who managed to survive after his expedition to the 6th floor, he reported a lot of important things. Even so, she only did it 1x because she thought he was not strong enough to face something in that place.

Something that has slaughtered her friends.

"Hey relax."

"Not every time I'm serious, don't you think, Rookie?" She was sitting next to Cleon who had already taken his drink.

"Uh, but it still feels awkward to be around people I admire."

"Haha, you seem to be able to please a woman. I hear you're grieving, huh?" Elysia smiled at Cleon.

She was 1 year older than Cleon, but her abilities were very far from him.

"Yes, it is. I lost the only family I had left."

"I see, Have you decided for the future?" Elysia asked again as she sipped her drink.

"I think– I should resign from the Royal Army, it will only hinder me in the conquest of the Abyss, tomorrow, I will submit it." Obviously again.

Excitedly, Elysia stood up, smiling broadly with sparkling eyes.

"Great choice! If you become stronger than me, I will consider if you want to marry me!" She's just encouraging.

Cleon knows that. .

"Yes, I will become stronger, and I will destroy that person." Cleon stood up. The drink's gone.

"In that case, I'm looking forward to it. If you want, I can train you. Come to the main headquarters after your business with the Kingdom is over. I'll welcome you there, Rookie—no, Cleon." Elysia left Cleon. Waving her hand high enough,

"there's no way she came here just to say that."

It's getting dark. Imperceptibly, yes.

"Home, maybe."

It was really hard for him to go back home, he was afraid that the shadow of his sister would appear again. But it has to be stronger.

"Come, and see death."

Suddenly someone in a black robe whispered, handing Cleon a piece of paper. In addition, on his shoulder was a child the same age as Chloe—she was unconscious and covered in blood.

Shortly after, the robed person instantly disappeared somewhere.

"A-what the fuck.." his hands are shaking, what should he do now.

"No, it could be a trap. But I had to stay—I had to save the kid. I don't know what the guy wanted, but I'll ask him later. When we faced." He tore up a piece of paper that contained the location and message of the kidnapper—or perhaps could be called a mysterious person.

Because not necessarily he is a kidnapper.

'It's not far from the city, and what the hell is that message? He's provoking me? Just so you know, I'm not in a good mood right now, summoning magic: spirit helpers.' The grains of light formed a human floating beside Cleon.

"What are your orders, My Lord?"

"Not much, get my gun at home, and deliver it to me." Please him. Cleon can move without carrying a weapon.

His summoning spirit disappeared, but shortly after, the predicted thing happened. 3 strangers confronted him, complete with their sharp weapons.

"He's coming, Come on."

One of them said as he attacked Cleon

'Are they trained?'

Their movements-not indiscriminate movements. They're like someone who's been trained for years. Immediately Cleon carried out a strong stance, withstood the attack from the left with his hand, threw the attacking person until the weapon fell.

"How dare you attack someone unarmed with a sharp weapon like this." Cleon threw the weapon, he didn't want to use someone else's weapon to fight.

"O The Mana of Fire, leave your heat in the soul, leave your smoke in the roar of the breath, light your light in the fist, blow your fire in the kick."

Cleon punched forward, then a ball of fire came out of his fist and exploded when it hit the ground. Make 2 people who are still standing scatter and attack again from two different directions.

They threw their sharp weapons accurately, if Cleon did not Parry, then there was little chance that he would survive.

Then,

"Thank You."

A pair of Mithril swords suddenly appeared in his hand. 2 The Sword is his sword brought forth by the spirit.

Quickly Cleon used the Skill to fend off the sword that shot towards him until the sword was destroyed.

"Go ahead."

Challenge Cleon to them, he is now armed, there is no reason to retreat.

"His time has come, do it!"
