Chapter 268 Meeting The Guild Master

"GGAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!"

Thoruul's loud scream was accompanied by a huge amount of blood pouring from his mouth, with the injury on his stomach reopening and spurting more blood into the air as his body fell back to the ground.

"Blessing of Destruction: First Activation."

Evan's emotionless voice rang out in his ears, a moment before the boy's clenched fist slammed into his torso, penetrating his wounded skin and wreaking havoc on his internal organs.

Thoruul's stomach burst open, his intestines scattered into the air, his liver was shredded in half and one of his lungs was punctured by a shattered rib bone.

It was a bloody scene that would hurt just by watching, with the demon feeling the most pain as Evan's punch also did a good number on his soul along with scattering his lower torso.

A large shadow was suddenly cast on his body, with a gigantic sword construct held up by a similar energy limb construct, slashed down on what was left of him, splitting the demon's body into two and ending his life instantly.

[Level Up]

|Congratulations, You have achieved Level 200|

|Class Change Requirements met|

|Searching for suitable Class...|

The five notifications that appeared in Evan's line of sight put a smile on his face as he deactivated his blessing of destruction, before turning in the opposite direction.

"I can't see the wyvern anymore, seems like the guild master has taken it out. Makes sense, the guild master is level 305, no way a level 252 wyvern was a match for him.

Pity though, I could have used the experience points."

He instantly dashed towards Kayla's direction, entering her range the instant she activated her Electroflame skill on Ulmoch's body.

"Blink."

As soon as Evan's foot touched the ground, he blinked and appeared right in front of Ulmoch and punched the blooming rose of flames on his torso.

In that short moment before his punch hit, he deactivated his limit break and activated another skill.

"Fracture."

**BAAMM!!

The poor demonic hand member's body was sent flying, with Evan blinking above him and calling out the unforged, engulfing it with the aura of destruction and stabbing the man's thigh with it.

The blade pierced through his thigh, coming out from the other side and pining his body to the ground before Evan removed the aura of destruction and dragged the sword from the midpoint of his thigh to right above his knee.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!

Ulmoch's scream resounded across the area, making some of the B-rank adventurers in the distance shiver in fear.

Evan abruptly pulled out the sword and punched his head, knocking him out instantly, before wrapping Ulmoch's leg with shadows and flinging the unconscious man over his shoulder.

Turning to Pride who was walking towards him, with her avatar arm holding Thoruul's corpse, he spoke.

"I'm keeping this one alive. We need to get information from him."

After that, the trio began their return to Osto's city gates.

West Gate, Dungeon City Osto

Hobha

March 21st

Year 1052

11:55 am

The guild master of the Osto adventurer's guild had a frown on his face as the vice guild master and the Viscount filled him in on the happenings of the city within the months he was away.

Upon hearing Evan's words to the vice guild master about how the monster attack was artificially induced by a group of people who were also responsible for creating the dungeon he had spent months trying to clear, his eyes narrowed in suspicion as he confirmed who Evan was.

"The grey-eyed, black-haired kid dressed in all black? With a red-eyed woman carrying an ominous sword?"

"Yes. That's him.

What's wrong?"

The blond, somewhat spiky-haired guild master, placed a hand on his bearded chin with a pensive look on his face before speaking.

"The kid's one thing, but that woman. She's-!"

"She's what?"

His words were cut short when a red-eyed tall handsome man wielding a large great sword, suddenly appeared behind him and asked.

*BAM!

The eighty-inch-long great sword stabbed into the ground, with its wielder going on to rest his chin on the pommel of the sword, with his blood-red eyes staring right at the guild master.

"What were you about to say concerning my sister?"

The guild master's eyes widened slightly as he stared at Greed.

"You...you're the same as 'them'."

"If by 'them', you mean whoever you fought in that artificial dungeon you went to, then sure. We're the same race.

That doesn't necessarily mean we're on the same side."

Greed replied to the guild master, remembering some of the information that Evan had given him and his sister beforehand.

The two men began glaring at each other in silence, putting the Viscount and the vice guild master at a loss, only for a light-hearted voice to break the heavy atmosphere.

"Oh! A staring contest!

Can I join you?"

The two turned to see the sight of Evan walking towards them while waving, with his other hand dragging along the unconscious body of demonic hand member, Ulmoch.

About two metres away from their position, Evan dropped the man's body on the ground, with his next step causing his shadow to wriggle around and latch onto Ulmoch's body, forming multiple tentacle-like appendages that wrapped around the man's body and holding it to the ground.

"Guild master of Dungeon City Osto's adventurer's guild, Alok Virlamin."

Evan called out to the guild master, stretching out his right hand for a handshake before continuing.

"Congratulations on becoming a grandmaster-level existence."

The guild master, Alok, stared at Evan in silence for a few moments before finally shaking the boy who tapped back with his left hand.

After releasing Alok's hand, Evan opened up his inventory and pulled out a juice pack, gesturing to the guild master and asking.

"You want one?"

"..."

"I want one."

Greed replied upon seeing the silent guild master, catching the juice packs that were tossed towards him. Upon opening one and tasting it, he posed a question to Evan.

"Strawberries again? You addicted or something?"

"Probably."

Evan replied before downing three juice packs and tossing them on the floor. He inadvertently glanced at another existence close to level 300, one he presumed was the mages guild master while he brought out more than half a dozen chairs from his inventory.

After this, took a seat facing the guild master, gesturing to the chairs and speaking.

"Now then, guild master. Let's talk."

◇ ◇ ◇

The adventurers of Osto, along with every other guild official who passed the west gate to go and deal with the monster corpses that were left after the stampede was taken care of, were given a strange sight to see as none of them could resist double taking to make sure they were seeing clearly.

The guild master/leader of the adventurers and mages guild, the captain of the Knights of Perhorn, Viscount Perhorn himself, the C rank adventurer who recently defeated the oppressor of their city, Evan, along with his party member, a hot red-eyed woman named Pride, and a man they recently discovered was her younger brother.

All these people were seated in the open right outside the West Gate, discussing something that was probably important given the serious looks on their faces, with the boy, Evan, occasionally bringing out multiple things from his spatial storage skill and placing them on the table he brought out from the same skill.

Even the vice guild master who was overseeing the clean-up, couldn't help but give Evan a strange glance more than once, before sighing and going back to his duty.

The contents of their conversation could not be heard, even by those who walked right past them, courtesy of the mage's guild master's silencing spell.

As for the people in question, they were all giving Evan a strange glance as the boy brought out his nth strawberry juice pack and began sipping on it.

"...Just how many of these do you have?"

"I emptied out about five shops' stock so.... a lot?"

The mages guild master didn't even know how to react to Evan's answer, while the boy turned to Alok and summarized all he had heard.

"So, you guys met a bunch of high-level B ranks inside there, almost died multiple times, with two of you actually dying in the beginning. You all then levelled up after killing the monsters and continued to press forward, discovering that it was a trap upon reaching the deepest floor where you met that guy on the ground and his brother, along with their contracted d^R%&s."

"What?"

"Ignore the static.

Anyway! You defeated the dungeon master and wounded the others, but they pulled out two wyverns and had one distract you while the other took those two, along with a bunch of monsters to escape.

Then you found out about how the dungeon was meant to wipe out Osto's elite combatants, before killing the dungeon master and turning back to chase after the other, increasing your travel speed the moment you discovered that the dungeon that was previously teeming with monsters was now empty.

However, by the time you caught up to him, he was already well into his attack on Osto, and you proceeded to join the fray and prevent more casualties from happening while killing a wyvern on the side.

That right?"
