Reincarnated As A Side Villain
Mined
Two weeks had passed since Argeas' meeting with Anastasia. And during that time nothing important or horrendous happened.
While Argeas has now got some Non-Combat abilities when accompanying his fiancee.
Such as [Fishing], [Coocking], and [Skinning] abilities.
In addition, Evangeline's Items also already have regular buyers and are quite popular in the market.
Which with the increasing demand for these Items, then the problem about the material began to be felt.
"Yesterday I asked Ascian for help to introduce Fairy Nature Tier for you to make a contract partner" Argeas told his fiancee during their lunch.
"Well, really? I feel so lucky to have a fiancee like you, Ar," Evangeline replied happily and excitedly.
"I don't have to bother looking for it myself" he added.
"But Ascian will only introduce her to you. It all depends on you. How did you convince that Fairy to enter into a contract with you." Argeas made the situation clear.
"Yes, I think I should try it. I have enough confidence after successfully taming Snow," Evangeline replied with confidence.
"It's good that it is. Tomorrow we meet Ascian on the usual lake" Argeas said later.
"I can't wait to wait for it."

"Ruby!" exclaimed a small white rabbit with shiny red eyes similar to rubies, after suddenly jumping from behind Ascian.
"Dandelions!" after a black cat who also jumped from behind the old fairy almost simultaneously with the rabbit.
The cat has a different eye color on each side. Yellow on the right, and Cyan on the left.
"They are Ruby and Dandelion. Ruby is a Fairy Mineral that can easily find all kinds of minerals around it. While Dandelion is a Fairy Herb that can find all kinds of vines and sprouts." Ascian introduced the two Fairy subordinates to Evangeline.
"Gee. I want both." Evangeline looks asking. "By the ability of both of them is very much needed, also they are both very cute and funny."
"Yes, they look funny." Argeas.
"Hows it? Is that possible, Ar?" evangeline looked impatient.
"Company a contract with both?" Argeas ascertained the intent of his question.
And Evangeline nodded quickly.
"Doing an Aura Pack with more than one Fairy was very possible. It's just that if you can do it, that's the real question" Argeas said later.
"But no matter what the outcome, I should still try it first, right?" Evangeline looks close.
"Yes, right. I love your spirit, Eve" said Argeas, who looked proud of the girl before him.
"Then what should I do?" Evangeline asked.
"How, As?" Argeas continued the question to Ascian.
"Different from a Ruler-level Fairy like me, a Nature-level Fairy is the lowest-level Fairy. So you can't offer him a contract bond directly." The old elf began to explain. While Argeas and Evangeline are looking at it closely.
"Then you have to use binding magic on them. If they don't like you, then the magic won't work. But if they also like you, then the Aura Pack will be intertwined," continued Ascian.
"Binding magic?" Evangeline looks confused.
"That's magic [Charm] that we learned a week ago together." Argeas answered the girl's confusion.
"Oh, that one. I get it." Evangeline nodded quickly as if impatient.
"All right, I'll try," he continued.
And it was seen that the girl raised both her hands pointing at the two Fairy before her. The right one towards the white rabbit, and the left one towards the black cat.
"Gram!" he cried after he felt enough concentration.
And a few seconds later a brightly shining symbol began to form on both backs of Evangeline's hands leading to the Fairy-Fairy.

The appearance of a notice in Evangeline's mind signifies that both of her contracts have been successfully executed.
And now Evangeline has got Achivement Titles [Fairy Kin]. Because it has a contract bond with more than one Fairy.
"Well!!" exclaiming the girl was very happy and did not believe that she had managed to bond with two Fairy at once.
"You see that Ar? I managed to contract with two Fairy at once," exclaimed Evangeline trying to boast.
Although according to Argeas it is not extraordinary, because with the level and number of MP that Evangeline currently has, it is not, it would not be difficult for him to tie up even more low-level Fairy like that.
But Argeas did not want to discourage his fiancee. He was really happy for the girl.
"Yes, my fiancee is indeed amazing," she replied later with praise.
It was seen that Evangeline immediately grabbed the two Fairy who had tied the contract with her, and clasped her anxiously in an embrace.

After that Argeas and Evangeline decided to search for materials inside one of the Ruins Caves which is famous as a Mineral mining site with high quality. The Crystal Cave {El-Maya}
But it is not a favorite place to visit because of the situation and conditions that are less supportive.
The ruins contained medium-level monsters that were troublesome enough for [Erudite] to deal with. But it does not give XP and its worth to those who are able to fight it.
Plus the position of the minerals that must be sought first, making it a place that is not worth exploring.
Even Argeas thought that way until Evangeline managed to contract with Fairy Mineral.
'Indeed, this one Dungeon is famous for making players dongkol because Grinding and Random Encounter monsters that are not worth the results obtained,' inner Argeas as he and his fiance prepare to enter the {El-Maya} Crystal Cave.
'But another story that we already have an accurate guide to show the places where the mineral is located, ' he continued again in the mind.
"Why are you smiling to yourself, Ar? Is that how longing you've been exploring until just entering the Ruins has made you that happy?" evangeline said when she saw the happy face of her fiance.
"Yes, it's a lie that I say I don't miss exploring the Ruins" Argeas replied, not covering up his feelings.
"Now you look like a boy your age." Evangeline is back.
"Come out, Lu," exclaimed Argeas without paying much heed to his fiancee.
The four-tailed fox is seen leaping out of Insignia on Argeas' wrist.
"We haven't done sports in a long time, Lu. Let's get our bodies moving!" exclaimed the young man who was met with laughter from Lushu.
While Evangeline at the back looks just a small smile. I was happy to find her husband behaving as he should.
.
And it seems that Argeas' calculations did not miss. In just 2 hours, they managed to get the minerals Evangeline needed for the entire project she was going to work on. Including spare material in case something unplanned happens in the future.
And all because of a rabbit that accurately shows the passageways that have minerals in them.
"I think this mineral reserve is too much, Ar." Evangeline said as she checked her Inventory Window.
"Don't worry. You can still sell it raw if it is no longer needed. Surely there are still many who intend to buy it," replied Argeas.
Currently the two of them with Lushu and Ruby were at the very end of the Ruins. Right before the boss area.
Argeas did not plan to fight the boss of monsters or do the cleaning in the Whirlwind so as not to trigger a stir.
Because it has been almost 30 years since it was discovered, according to what Argeas heard, no one has ever managed to clean it. Either because it is difficult or because it is troublesome and not worth it.
And that's why Argeas only stopped until that place.
"Yes, I think you're right. I can sell it raw" Evangeline agreed.
"Thank you for Ruby!" The girl immediately hugged Ruby in an anxious embrace. "You are the most valuable today."
"R!" the rabbit shouted in response to Evangeline's praise.
Indeed the low-level Fairy was unable to verbally communicate with humans.
"Then it's time for us to return," Argeas asked later.
"really. It'll be lunchtime soon, too" Evangeline replied as she prepared to head for the exit.
As it suddenly shot from the direction of the gate towards the boss room, it flung out several people with a shocking explosive sound.
Blaarrr!
'What else now? Is this another one?' argeas lamented in his heart.
The dust from the explosion had started to disappear when a figure was just thrown out. Five people two of whom Argeas knew.
"Isn't that Sophie's sister and Jack's sister?" Evangeline also recognized them.
"really. Brother Sophie! Brother Jack!" Argeas immediately rushed to where his seniors were.
Evangeline, who was still hugging Ruby, ran next to Lushu who was in charge of protecting her.
"That?!" Jack and Sophie cried out almost simultaneously.
Only then was it clearly visible after Argeas arrived closer. The three guys who slid out with Jack and Sophie earlier. Two young men and one girl.
The girl appeared to be wearing hunter clothes and holding a tube for arrows. It was just that there was no bow in his hand.
One youth was like a healer with equipment that Argeas recognized to enhance the magic effect of the [Holy] attribute.
And the second young man seemed to be holding a shield and a spear.
"Elemental Fox?" the five people exclaimed almost simultaneously when they found Lushu who came following next to Evangeline.
'Ah, that's right too. I forgot about Lushu, ' Argeas' inner self felt a sense of helplessness.
"Yes, it's Lushu. [Familiar]ku," he said later. I was lazy to make up stories.
"Oh... Alright. I don't think now's the time to be surprised." Jack replied with a face full of contention.
"What's really going on, brother?" asked Argeas who was really curious, besides also wanting to rush to change the subject.
But as yet the question got an answer, there was a subsequent explosion from the same direction as before. From the boss's gate.
Blaarrr!
Thrown again from the inside, this time 2 people in knight clothes and short-range fighters.
But not until there. From the gate also appeared a figure that was about 2 meters high, shaped like a human from a rock with many plant tendrils and several flowers in several parts of his body.
Argeas recognized the monster as Coral Orchid. Last boss Crystal Cave Ruins {El-Maya}.
"That's not Coral Orchid?" Evangeline also recognized the monster. Because as a craftsman, Coral Orchid is famous as a monster that will drop rare materials if defeated.
"True, it's Coral Orchid." Sophie justify.
'But why would a Dungeon Boss be able to get out of his area?' inner Argeas thought more about it.
Not yet they understood what was going on, the knight who had been thrown out immediately turned around and shouted,
"Revelation! Coral Wave!"
And the hand of the Coral Orchid was raised upwards.
'Ah, fuck! Within this distance his magic range would have no time to be avoided, ' the inner Argeas who knew very well what the monster was about to do.
And not wasting any time Argeas immediately took out his other weapon from inside the Storage.
But not a sword like before, but rather two pieces of iron gloves with a haunted and intimidating design. Black in color with ornaments such as bright blue cracks.
It was [Adrammelech's Wrath]. The weapon that Argeas got after defeating a dragon in the border region a few months ago.
'I think it's better to explain to Jack's entourage than not to be safe, ' Argeas said as he put the two gloves on.
"Alright, it's time for action" said the young man after finishing putting on his gloves and making a run.
"Haste, Dash!" he exclaimed then before suddenly his body shot forward quickly.
And after passing through the position of the knight and the short-range fighter earlier, Argeas again activated his other Combat Move.
"Double Jump!"
And the young man's body seemed to be thrown upwards twice approaching to the part that resembled the head of the rock monster.
Argeas said, "Stunt Hit!" And then he threw his punch at the monster's head with all his might.
Lightning jumps were seen when Argeas's punch landed heavily on the creature's face. Which had an impact on the loss of the balance of the monster and canceled the attack he wanted to do before.
The impact of the blow also pushed Argeas' body backwards. But that doesn't worry him.
Because the attack he just launched earlier had a [Stunt] effect that could make opponents lose control of their motor nerves for a few seconds.
'Oh, does the flower on his head always look like that? Or maybe he's not the usual Coral Orchid?' inner Argeas after finding a difference in the shape of the head of the monster he fought when he was being pushed back.
'Is that why he can leave his area too?'
Argeas landed smoothly on both feet.
"Analys," he said then activated detection magic towards the coral monster.
'Awhile... Coral Orchid with fire attribute? I just found out there are variants like this? Wasn't the Orchid type even weak against the fire attribute?' Argeas looked confused when he found the results of his [Analys] magic.
"What just happened?" A look of confusion on the face of the masked young man, one of Jack's colleagues, after seeing the action of Argeas.
"Did he just undo Coral Orchid's attack by hitting the monster's head with a glove?" he asked again as if he was looking for confirmation that he was not hallucinating.
"Is he an [Armamentalist]?" This time the healing young man who spoke gave his conjecture.
"He's a witch." Sophie gave an answer.
"Witch? Is that true? Who exactly is that young man?" asked the young man with the look increasingly clueless.
"He's a first-year academy student." This time Jack answered.
"What?"
It is seen now that the 2 meter tall monster has returned to move. And start putting up new horses.
'This position? May the magic belong to another monster boss, [Inferno Hell]?' Argeas, who knew this, seemed to be in disbelief.
"Ar, the monster is back on the move," exclaimed Evangeline trying to warn.
"Everything do not move," forbid Argeas who immediately joined the call, "Barrier!" He pulled his magic wand from his waist.
And almost simultaneously with it emerged from the underground randomly a pillar of fire that scorched all the objects that were on it.
It was the middle-tier magic [Inferno Hell] that Argeas meant.
But even though Jack and Evangeline's entourage can't avoid it, Argeas has managed to activate the [Barrier] protective magic that is his area magic. Which has a range big enough to protect everyone.
'It will be more dangerous if allowed to linger. Since I don't have any information about the skill or magic it possesses, Argeas' inner self made a conclusion
"That means it's time to end" Argeas said as he pointed his wand at Coral Orchid.
"Blood Sacrifice, Parallel Cast, Heavy, Instant Cast, Quagmire!" the sequence then with the activation of several abilities at once.
And suddenly the Coral Orchid's movement had started to slow down as if it was being pushed by an invisible force downward.
Then gradually, the ground that the monster stepped on began to look cracked. Which from between the cracks appears water that pooled very quickly.
And within minutes, the surface of the ground around the monster boss began to turn into mud as if swallowing the coral quickly.
Argeas again put his gloves into Storage, when Jack's entourage was made to gape in disbelief to see firsthand a high-level magic right in front of them.
Soon the mud soil that had previously started to become solid again after the figure of the Coral Orchid had been no longer visible. Lost to the earth. Not only was the carcass missing, but it was also left.

.
'Oh, so that wasn't a variant of Coral Orchid? But what is Hellish Orchid? I've never seen him in a game. Is that something that only exists in this world?' Argeas tries to solve the mystery he just got.
"That?!" There was an Evangeline call later.
"Oh, right. Eve."
And when turned around to look other than her fiance there were 7 people who looked at her with faces full of interest and also a sense of admiration.
'Yes, I guess I should go back to using my lobbying ability to deal with them, ' Argeas thought with an awkward smile walking over.
