A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 63: On the Other Side - 1

Although on the surface there is not much movement arising from the loss of one of the greatest powers in the upcoming war, but actually the internal state of Dee City is experiencing considerable chaos.

Such a loss of power meant that Reutania had to rework their plans from the start. On the other hand, a lot of suspicions were raised because the news of how it could get to this point was muted to the brim, and the tense atmosphere between the many parties became inevitable.

However, on the other hand the rumor that only one person destroyed the group continued to spread widely, like a small fire that continued to spread and was difficult to market in the prairie.

The more time passed, the more confusing the rumors circulated. There were many versions, but among the mercenary group there were also many more realistic guesses as to what had actually happened. However, it was just a conjecture that could not be proven the truth.

As the rumors grew more and more widespread, it got to a point where it could attract the attention of some outside powers. Like the Night Eye team that has a mission to collect information about the young man they listed in the attachment of the previous mission report.

After desperation, struggling here and there with no end result they took the risk to go to enemy territory. It was clearly because the contents of the rumors were circulating like the shadow of the young man.

The black-haired youth with incredible strength, it was a shadow that was imprinted on their heads. In the belief that the person in the rumor and the one they were looking for was one individual, they rushed to the source where the rumor originated, Dee City.

The sun shone brightly right above the Night Eye team head when Dee City had already entered within their visibility. Since they were also unable to move recklessly in enemy territory, they chose to rest for a moment.

“Captain, we can not enter this city through the usual way,” Seeing the guard in the gates and walls of the city are very tight, Zee can not help but sigh.

“Ya .. I think we should be very careful at this time. Especially the relationship of Beatria Union with Reutania Kingdom in critical times, until war can break out at any time.”

As if some bad memories had reappeared in front of him, Xion shook his head, expelling such thoughts.

“Zee do you know the city's sewer system? I know this city used to belong to Beatria Union before it was occupied by Reutania Kingdom.”

“Unfortunately I don't know that at all Dian. Since such a thing was not considered important before, such documents tend to be stored locally.”

“Hah .. so what should we do?” Scratching the back of her head, Dian looked at Xion. “Captain, do you have a good idea?”

Returning to reality, Xion's gaze for a moment looked somewhat surprised, but he immediately adjusted himself before replying, “We'd better wait some more time. When they do the changing of the guard shift it is an opportunity for us to get into the city. Yuzu, remember to use disguise magic on all of us.”

“Quiet Captain, it's not a problem at all.”

They wait until the time comes. As they waited they were all unaware that Ci was tailing right behind them, just as Liar's general orders began to leave the team. Entering Dee City, he did an investigation first.

With his ability to make his body transparent, Ci managed to get through the city guards easily, and no one realized. Having pride of self in terms of eliminating the air of his existence, he continued to go deeper into this city without fear.

The situation in Dee City itself is still quite crowded, although many people choose to leave the city after the incident that night. However, many still choose to stay.

Heading towards the center of the crowd, Ci put his ears on nicely, hoping to find more information than just scattered rumors.

“Hey, do you know the man who made the sky glow bright when it was done by a young man with black hair?”

“Hey, it turns out the Overflow group all along was a bunch of bandits you know, and that was the reason why the young man attacked them.”

“Is that true?”

“Hehehehe, I don't know but I think it's true because it's impossible for everything to happen because of trivial problems.”

“Hmm, after you say it it feels reassuring.”

Some similar chatter continued to be heard by Ci, and most of them were exactly like the rumors that were circulating. However, this place had far more versions than the scattered ones.

‘From the traits mentioned by the people, the young man is the same as the person in question, but .. his abilities seem to have progressed further the last one seen.’

Staring at the scene where it became rubble, Ci went down, heading to the place. Rumors that the devastated group was also a bandit were a new thing to hear, and this also attracted him as it was important for the continuation of the assessment mission he was on.

The guard around the scene was tight, making people who wanted to get close to trouble but that was not a problem for him. The building that once stood is now completely flattened to the ground, leaving some large paddles that are difficult to clean.

However, Ci's eyes did not miss any scratches left behind. Closing his eyes, he tried to visualize the course of the fight within the rumors on the basis of the marks of the attacks left behind.

Starting from the moment the young man attacked, the reply from the opponent, avoidance and elation, as well as the horrendous Grandmagic. Although realistically it is far from what happened, but theoretically this can be used as a rough reference.

As Ci opened his eyes, he stared intently into the distance, far out of the scope of Dee City. Although this was only a visualization based on his experience, his breathing was now hunting a little faster.

At first he just thought this was a mission that felt like a waste of time. However, now he could sense the danger that Liar's general meant.

The target growth rate was too frightening. In addition if the true person in the rumor and the person they are looking for is one individual, Ci feels the need to ascertain the view of that person.

The person who easily chooses to destroy a group must have their own considerations. If not...just imagine how the nature of that person is, Ci's backbone became cold.

Moreover, he discovered something strange where the attacks being launched were not just battle techniques and magic. With his level of strength, Ci was able to find traces of energy other than those two things, even though those traces would have disappeared soon if they had not come here sooner.

Steeped in his mind, Ci predicted that the danger sign value of the person might be E-5 or E-4. Where at this level, the young man was enough to consider him able to become a figure capable of destroying a village or a small town. However, with the rough growth data that this value has will soon rise in the future.

Leaving the place, Ci chose to wait for the arrival of the Night Eye team. Although he has the advantage here, but it also has a limit where he cannot touch objects around him.

Moreover, he needed more data to continue the actions he took.

Now all his thoughts are just presumptions. Therefore he was unable to ascertain whether the young man and the person in question were the same person despite knowing the two had something in common.

Waiting on top of the city wall, Ci again fell into his mind. He was completely unable to act recklessly this time around, and the mission that was all considered light now felt heavy on his shoulders.
