Even Master usually felt intimidated whenever he saw the monster.
Far from showing the right skills, he was brave enough to face it without running away.
'certain.'
There was a man watching Charlize from a distance. Wearing a witch's robe, her face decadent.
"He's not an ordinary person."
The witch, Payne, narrowed her eyes as she looked at Charlize.
Shocked to see a serial killer who has no emotions. As expected, the hair on his skin stood upright as the intense pressure as goosebumps spread throughout his body.
But Charlize, seeing the monster, was only apathetic.
"!"
Without notice, Charlize moved.
Holding a heavy sword, he took light steps.
'Easy.'
More than anyone, to Charlize, defeating monsters was too easy.
To him, it was only visible. Where's weakness. He can only distinguish it. And instantly knew how he should attack.
Although his black scales were strong, a cold sword pierced through them. He swung his sword and cut his pulse.
With large claws, his front legs swung to tear Charlize apart, but he quickly dodged.
"Sorry, but."
Charlize bowed gently and left under the shadow of the dragon. He disappeared. And at that moment.
“You must die.”
In an instant, Charlize, who had fallen behind the dragon, slashed down on one of the monster's wings.
The dragon went wild and rolled its legs in place. The ground was dug with great force, creating a huge hole.
Kwaaah!
If trampled, he would instantly die.
Charlize walked on the dragon's back and climbed onto the main body as if she was climbing a ladder.
The dragon turned its head and looked at Charlize with a smoldering look. Eyes full of killing intent to tear and kill.
It opened its mouth and let out smoke. This time Charlize jumped up and avoided him.
Its smoke contains toxins, which can melt a person's skin once it comes into contact with the skin
Runaway.
Despite the fall as high as the second floor of the building, he leaped gently and swung his sword towards the remaining dragon's right wing.
After landing, Charlize's hair floated in the air for a while and fell back beautifully.
Two wings fell to the ground with a thud. Looked Charlize's pale skin. Holding a young face like a fragile girl.
Her charming face along with her sharp sword tip caught one's attention calmly.
Payne watched the quiet young girl from afar.
The dragon started to go wild as if he could not acknowledge reality. However, the swift attack did not bother Charlize.
He stopped the dragon attack by swinging his sword into the air several times.
At the same time, he tried to find a gap quickly.
'Monster.'
Payne remembered about the monster.
The monster suddenly appeared hundreds of years ago. Although opinions differ among scholars on the reasons for its appearance, orthodoxy among witches is as follows.
'The God who created the world, Ehyrit, is dead.'
The bodies of Gods were scattered throughout the continent in many parts. Since the power of the Gods was 'the creation of life', all the pieces became monsters.
It was unknown why the organism that carried the god statue was filled with evil things. After all, with the power of Gods, those monsters became so powerful that they could not be compared to natural beasts.
'It's full of life, closer to tenacious malice than to life.'
The only hatred left was their instinct to greedily swallow everything in this land. That's how monsters are.
The monsters in the Lion Mountain Range ate many innocent people.
The dragon was the same, even now. Even though his wings were cut off, his tongue stuck out while looking at him with flaming yellow eyes. The dragon rushed to devour Charlize.
Charlize thrust her sword into the dragon's weakness, and defeated the monster.
Not blood, but evil energy. It would affect Master, but would it affect Saints?
Charlize is fine.
'He is more than a master?'
Seeing that scene, Payne became shocked.
Does he even have a limit …
Normally, several masters joined forces to fight S-level monsters for a few days before defeating them. It only took a few minutes to beat him.
Charlize unsheathed the sword and landed on the ground.
A giant dragon fell in front of a slender Lady.
The scene is unrealistic.
'A fantasy underground prison is nothing.'
In the preliminary round of the sword competition, he had to escape from the fantasy dungeon on the principle of who fast he could be. But fantasy and reality are different.
The tense feeling of reality is much more vivid and frightening.
Charlize put down the sword diagonally and looked forward. He was immediately surrounded by monsters that heard that voice.
The reason why the dragon was so troublesome was not only because he was strong, but also because he did not move by himself.
It was not called the monster king for no reason. The monster attracted another monster.
"Didn't you want to step aside?"
As if Charlize's friendly question was a signal, five monsters attacked at once.
Charlize's sword moved so fast that it was invisible.
A beast monster that resembled a hyena. They showed their teeth, and wanted to tear off the flesh.
However Charlize only swung the sword once and they all fell down at once.
This time, a group of ten people attacked to see if they knew anything after seeing their relatives lying on the ground.
The result is,
“Haa..”
It's same.
All the monsters were lying on the ground. From the beginning of a mountain range like this, the path to the cave would be difficult at first.
For ordinary people, at this rate, they would escape. But Charlize is different.
'It's good to swing a sword without having to worry about anything.'
Charlize was in a good mood.
And the sword Charlize had brought so far. It was a sword to teach Dylan, a sword to defend against assassins, and a sword to win battles.
Being able to use a sword that contained life was more liberating than he thought.
'Easy. Things like swords are too easy.'
Charlize defeated a fish-like monster in the water.
(T/N: This is an idiom like fish doing anything in water better than land. It is used in situations where you can show your skills well.)
For piercing, cutting, swinging, and blocking.
'Why can't everyone do this easy thing?'
He thought indifferently.
Charlize is a strong person. Absolutely one-sided, close to the evil of the world.
Basically, the monster was not a 'living being'. So there's no guilt.
Immediately, the blue stones began to overflow. A piece of Ehyrit that would definitely appear when the monster died.
Charlize did not take it, instead walked forward. There were no top-tier monsters that could stop Charlize's move.
***
On the second day, a black wolf appeared. It was a monster that could not be seen well, so he could only be recognized from his presence.
It was quite difficult to deal with, but Charlize was a Saint. He ended the black wolf alone.
On the third day, a giant spider appeared. A spider that sucks human blood until someone dies.
His eight eyeballs had a wide range of vision that could not be hidden in a blind spot. Moreover, it was a troublesome opponent that constantly gave birth to new spiders.
But let's try.
As Charlize held her sword, everything was decided.
'Is this fast enough?'
After holding the sword for about ten days, a white cave was seen in the distance.
He had been drinking the water of the valley when he was thirsty, and he hunted mountain beasts when he was hungry.
Far away in the middle of the night, he went down the mountain. He took a room, rested, slept, and bathed.
"... White cave."
He thought the name of the cave was simple. However, it is white. Natural white.
Arriving at his destination, Charlize saw the cave.
Like marble, it reflects sunlight and shimmers, and has a noble and holy impression. It's pure than dark.
It must have been a long time since someone's foot touched it, and it was full of mysterious grasses and herbs.
Charlize hurriedly searched around the cave. He finally found what looked like an heirloom. A box that looks precious even with just a glance at it.
“...Someone who has no blood relation cannot open it.”
Charlize read the sentence in the box.
'This is a structure that won't open unless you drop a drop of blood to recognize that you're a blood-related relative of the Duke.'
That was why the Duke could tell an outsider where the heirloom was.
'The heirloom will be in this box, so all I have to do is take this.'
He has found her.
Charlize remained calm even after achieving what everyone thought was impossible. It was a pleasant feeling that he held.
Charlize gets heirloom. Even on the way home, monsters would attack. But there's nothing to be afraid of. He left the white cave with the sword in his other hand.
He held the heirloom with his left hand, so he had to face the monster with just his right hand.
"It's exciting."
If the monsters were too many to deal with, he couldn't be happier.
And for the past ten days, Charlize had no injuries on her body even while dealing with many monsters. This alone proves his ability.
Sure enough, he soon encountered an S-level monster. Only then.
A smile expands in his mouth.

The Duke and the tactician's face was serious.
"As expected."
"Do you think he's dead?"
The tactician asked. Duke remained silent.
The grandmaster hasn't been back for ten days.
He doesn't even know if he's in or where he's going. Although he got a report that he would definitely go alone.
"How are we going to report the Grandmaster's death to the imperial family?"
“It doesn't matter because he did it for himself. There will be no evidence, anyway. If he was captured by those monsters, he would be eaten.”.
Tacticians are heavy-hearted.
'What a regrettable talent.'
Even his appearance was regrettable.
The tactician remembers the days with the Grandmaster during the 'hwagi'. A person who perfectly captures himself, who is judged to have no place to follow with reason.
But definitely. Her luxurious dress and slender body were far from knights dealing with swords.
The tactician reasoned.
'That was the bet I received because I thought the Grandmaster would give up and come back the next day.'
He thought he was only confident because he did not see it directly. Once he saw the swarm of monsters, he would definitely change his mind.
But. It had been ten days since the Grandmaster had not returned. It means it's clear.
The grandmaster is dead.
"Hm."
Even the Duke, with an ominous expression, showed a hint of regret. Duke feels the same way – Grandmaster is a regrettable person.
But it was then.
"Grand Duke!"
Without knocking, the panicked waiter entered of his own accord.
The Duke's forehead frowned. He wanted to denounce the rudeness of the servant, but his facial expression was quite serious.
"What the hell is going on?"
"The grandmaster is back!"
'Is he still alive?'
The Duke was surprised. He'll make sure Charlize's dead. The trail from him had been cut off, yet he was still alive?
The Duke left his chair in doubt. The tactician followed.
Opening the curtain, light came in.
Charlize turned around in half a light, then slowly looked back towards them.
“Remember the bet?”
Her hair is beautiful.
Just like an alluring appearance. He smiled with closed eyes.
The tactician and Duke opened their eyes wide.
At that moment. They could see a shiny box reflecting light in Charlize's hand.
“You must keep your promise.”
The grandmaster has returned alive.
By having a family heirloom, it was also proof that he came back alive. And the thing in Charlize's hand, though,
"Are you ready?"
It really is the heirloom of the Duke family.
