Chapter 11: Importance of Certain Individual

After Tenrou unleashed his skill [Holy Acumen], a skill that can Destroy Dark Elements, all inside the Nocturne Dungeon skeleton and even Lich Boss swept clean and not even their ash remained, even the heavy miasma that envelop the cave now all gone.

"Like what I said, all inside this Dungen will now belong to ours" Said by Tenrou and look where Kuro Aodachi is whose helping Olf's Support group

"Aoda, do your work!" Said by Tenrou after narrowing his eyes where Guts is and started to head out of the Cave.

After cleaning the corpes of their fallen comrade, Olf touch his half face that Burned because of Lich skill that now stopped, he gritted his teeth and and bit his lower lip withouth him noticing, blood flow.

Kuno and two archers that helping their Pugilist thats battered with blood all over the floor and still breathing Stand up and Tap Olf after what he did to himself.

"This isn't your responsibility alone, we came here knowing some will become sacrificial lamb, look there"

After he look at Guts who leaned at the stone, sleeping where Kuno pointed, Olf grip his hand trembling.

"I saw him clashing with Death Knight head on, a level-1 and beginner adventurer, he didnt lose hope even his life's on the line though I think something happened to him that we didnt know" Kuno said after he saw Guts horn and started heading where Guts is but still saying

"None from his team died, though one of them lose its hand, the team survive because of him, he didnt give up, so do I, and so do you, right?" Kuno said and look at Olf but still heading to where Guts is, and followed up

"This is your first time taste despair, doesn't mean theres no second time, but before that happen, atleast you are prepared, just, dont lose hope just like him, and Dont wear yourself down" He then carry the small physique Guts to his shoulder and head out.

==========

3 Days after, Guts returned his conciousness.

He saw white cieling, white wall and white blanket covering his whole body, he sleeping on comfortable soft white bed.

"Ah your awake, congrats for returning back from Oblivion" said by Golden Lion from his right, its Guild Master Karma.

"You're in an area called 'Hospital' near our Guild headquarters, all injured person brought here, also you transfered here 1 day ago by an adventurer named Kuno and Olf" Karma said.

Guts head is heavy as he close his eyes and remembering all of what happened especially the 'Sword of Death Knight' that he's going to acquire but

"Im sorry, this Sword isn't at your level that can protect for now, Come find me when you're atleast level-3, and Ill give it back to you for sure, if my superior knew you have it, without second thought, he'll confiscate this thing." All of this memories were so vivid for normal person but because of his unique 'Eidetic Memory', all of that Guy said is like a video thats been recorded and hammered into his Memory.

"Campione" Murmured by Guts

"Yes, its them, Campione's Holy Dragon Tenrou and his co-member Kuro Von Voltair saved you all" said by karma whose sitting, leak his thumb and used it to change the page of paper on his hand.

"Voltair?" Asks by Guts

"yes, do you know him?" Asks by Karma in return

"a Librarian"

"Oh her? she was reknowned 'Akhashik Sage', Vice Guildmaster of Kerashval Adventurers Guild, and cousin of Kuro Von Voltair"

"What? Her? VICE?" Guts cried in surprise

"That aside" said by Karma

'anymore and she'll kill me for sure' he thought

"all the loot originally belonged to your group taken over by them, I didnt doubt that you also knew it too" (Karma)

touching his face and nod with no other choice, Kuno and Olf told them after the messenger bird flew, Guts asks "what happen on our team?"

"2 of your Vanguards are officially killed in action and your other pugilist was gravely Injured, she's at her Village Hospital and I doubt she can still stand her own two feet after the treatment" Karma regretfully said.

Guts leave from his bed and stand up after he remember all what happened his stomach only growl and said "Im hungry, I'll file my report later" he then walk out of hospital

"Uhm, I'll be waiting" said by Karma whose still sitting and reading the paper from his hand then Guts leave.

==========

Before Guts return to his inn he again wrapped a bandage at his horn and didnt want others to see its changes, he's still staggered walking but still sucessfully arrived

after he sat, Jaina already served him his one day full meal on his table

"You always came here just to eat and didnt come back for a few days! atleast next time take care of yourself more!" She point and poke Guts forehead

"Cry my name if you want another serving then! you still have 3 full days of meal from us, so use it to recuperate your health!" Said by jaina and straight to their kitchen while humming.

==========

The same time at Nuctorne Village

After Kuno and Olf duo finished their Monster habitat low level difficulty mission, they start to eat and drink like no tomorrow

"Hm, I just recieve news that he already wake up" Said by Kuno

"...." Olf only silent, playing his food unconciously

"Ha ha, okay lets visit him next time so dont feel down, maybe after you two talk, that burden of yours may clear"

"thats not it" Olf retort

"Yeah I know, If push comes to shove, we'll recover that thing even if we broke, maybe thats in an auction now?"

"Sigh.... I hate being powerless" said by Olf

"Alright lets Duo harder missions until we level up to 4!" Said by Kuno energetically

after a while

'Its like we switched personality' Kuno thought

...

The two only partially know what happened to Guts and Aoda because of their Healer's 'misinterpret' Report.

Of couse, the Duo didnt know what really happen, until later.

...

==========

[A/N: Kuro Aodachi = Kuro Von Voltair = Aoda]

"So? What now?" Asks by Tenrou to Kuro Aodachi after they went out of cave and head to their Headquarters.

"What do you mean? Of course all of them are Blue Mithrils" retorted by Kuro

Narrowing his eye and stare at Kuro and said "before I finish the bastard, you walked at him(Guts) and took away an item, either way they're all belong to Guild, then? what is it?"

Kuro only stare at him without flinching and not saying anything

and again Tenrou said "oh well, not that I care but atleast tell me what is it" He only sigh.

Thereafter.

"Cheh! That was your family heirloom and Im sure belonged to yours now, so? What do you want to do with it? Im sure Youre not Rapier type Swordmaster" Again asks by Tenrou

"I had a plan with it" said by Serious Kuro

Only narrowing his eye again at Kuro, and showing to his face was 'there is more than meets the eye!'

==========

After Guts pack his things out he again went straight to Millenial Library

....

...

..

.

Inside

"W-what?" Asks by Xandra confusingly

Guts bowing repeatedly and said, "I'll be in your care again", His personality turned 360 degree to me?, Xandra thought and now had an Idea why. That light-mouthed big Lion again! she thought.

"hm! Nevermind what happen last time, just make yourself at home!" Said by Xandra while she puffed her flat chest out and looking at Guts with narrow eye and evil grin while her two hands were on her hips.

.

..

...

....

Thereafter

When Guts is on his own world again

Xandra wondering, while her head lazily place at her table, after a week of reading while playing and munching her own saliva as she staring at Guts, though in Kerashval City's Librabry were 3, this library had always many patrons, such as adventurers, schoolars and even commoners, hungry for knowledge but this Goblin in front of her is very unique.

Goblin, a creature full of Lust and Greed, Fear the strong and bully the weak, Weak Willed like uneducated child, but this Goblin here was glittered and shined with willpower reflecting from his eye, much less can concentrate like that. Not many people can achieve that concentration level

Whats more, he isnt alone, there's also a 'second' one after him who registered a few days ago according to higher ups. She thought.

"Sigh, is this the prelude of world changing because of some Individual? I hope its for this worlds own Good if that were really true" She said to herself And lazily lean her head on the table and went asleep.
