Volume 3: Prologue
[Lion City – Commoners District]
Austen, a young man with auburn hair, knocked on the door before him. The moment it creaked opened, he flashed a smile.
“Good morning, Sir,” said Austen, presenting a neatly folded coat. “Here are the clothes you’ve ordered.”
The old man standing behind the door fully opened it. He stared at the still smiling Austen, then at the clothes the y...

Chapter Thirty
Reports continued pouring from different cities all throughout the Kingdom. King Alvis’ stomach churned as he read them one by one. These past few days, he felt that he had grown a decade older.
Currently, the throne room was filled with his ministers. Despite staying up all night, they still failed to formulate a solution to the Black Famine.
“Something…” mumbled the King. “Anything! If the Black Famin...

The next day, as expected, the swarm came back. Everyone held their breaths as a part of the sky turned black as the insects flew past by.
Lark stood on the watchtower inside the town. From his position, he could see the different teams spread all throughout the northern farmland.
The preparations were set. All that’s left was the Young Master’s orders.
“Sound the gong,” said Lark. <...

Sorry about the delay in the chapters. I’ve passed my exams and I’m now a fourth year medical student. I’m currently doing 30 hours of service in the hospital per duty (thrice a week). It was a bit hard writing with just four hours of sleep. I’ve read that some of you are checking everyday the page for new chapters. It was flattering. I’ll increase the release rate of the chapters. Again, sorry.

The time for departure of the soldiers from Lion City arrived. By dawn, they have already finished their preparations and were ready to move out.
“So, the Young Master’s coming with us?” said Commander Daltos.
“Coming along, Yes.” A sword dangled on Lark’s waist. “But we’ll part ways at the Gahelpa Forest.”
Daltos looked at the hunters standing behind Lark. They were all armed to the teeth...

[Behemoth City – Capital of the Kingdom]
The servant tasked with taking care of the King froze. She stared at his Majesty. After confirming what she saw, she choked the words out. “His… His Majesty! His Majesty’s awake!”
Afraid that the guards outside did not hear her, she yanked the door open and shouted at the corridor.
“The King’s awake! He’s finally awake!”
The guards stiffened and...

Chapter Twenty-five
Lark and General Urkawi faced each other. Around them, swords clashed and blood splattered, blanketing the ground. Lark had not expected the beastmen to break in this easily. If these guys have not been weakened by Magic Poisoning, this town would have been conquered long ago. The difference in strength bet...

After retreating back into the town, Lark rested for an hour then gathered the second group to launch another guerrilla attack. They hid carefully in the forest as they watched the enemy camp. The last attack proved effective. Numerous beastmen scouted the perimeter of their camp, forming a tight barrier which se...

On top of the watchtower, Mikael stared at the retreating army of beastmen beyond the wall. Even from this distance of almost a kilometer, he could see the swarm of green and brown entering the burning forest. With his amplified senses, he could see the desperate attempt of those beastmen to rescue their comrade...

The air seemed to tremble as the army of beastmen marched through the plains. Their footsteps made the ground quiver as metals clanked and horses neighed. It had been two days since they resumed their advance.
The army numbering ten thousand soon entered a dead forest.
“Phantomim.” General Urkawi summoned his most trusted subordinate. “This forest. It was not mentioned in the report.”

“Adjutant Fior, the General wishes to see you.”
Fior sighed. It’s been a week since they lost contact with the Vanguard. During these past few days, Fior adamantly insisted that they stop the Main Army from advancing towards Blackstone Town.
I guess this is the limit.
The close aids of the General have been expressing their discontents left and right. Fior knew that it would only be a matter of...

[Kingdom’s Capital – Behemoth City]
Behemoth City was in a festive mood. Banners were hanged all over the city, as numerous Bards sang songs for the Royal Family. Despite the apparent shortage of food due to the Black Famine last harvest season, numerous stalls were handing out free food – all of which were sponsored by the Royal Family. This had been a tradition in Behemoth City during the first day of the Month of the Sun....

News quickly spread like wildfire. The entire town was in uproar upon hearing that the Young Master was going to battle the Commander of the soldiers from Lion City. Hundreds of locals gathered outside the town. Including the soldiers camped outside, over a thousand people gathered to spectate the fight.
Commander Daltos breathed deeply. Looking at the young noble, he knew this fight would be easy. After all, he was well a...

Two days have passed since the army arrived at Blackstone Town. Lark and his soldiers still haven’t returned.
Mikael have adjusted to the life here. Using a made up story of his previous life in the Lion City, he pretended to be an immigrant who wished for a peaceful life in the country side. For the past two days, he worked as a miner. This was an easy task, since knights like him have several times the strength of an a...

The time for departure towards Blackstone Town arrived. A thousand-strong army, which consisted mainly of soldiers from the City and several mercenaries, gathered at the outskirt of Lion City. The news of an armed force marching towards a certain town in the East reached the ears of many. Near the gates, several onlookers gathered.

Stone and his men relentlessly made their way back towards the Main Army’s Camp. They continued slapping the reigns of the Burrcats, not bothering to stop to recuperate even for a while. Unlike the optimistic Kael, he did not believe those beastmen stood a chance against the humans. There was no way they’ll be able to win against those numbers, now that Commander Azura was gone. The best course of action now was to go ba...

Mikael’s stomach grumbled as he sat cross-legged inside the dungeon. He’d been locked up here for a more than a week already. Everyday, he was forced to eat nothing but stale bread and water. Although he was a knight and his body was stronger than most people, he was starting to feel the effects of emaciation. His cheeks had become sunken and dark marks surrounded his eyes.
For the King. I have to endure. Just a bit...

The assassin group from Black Midas, the Blood Tachi, made their way towards Blackstone Town. Above, a sparrow made of light flew, leaving a trail of white behind. There was no Tracking Magic more reliable than this. As long as this sparrow existed, it would eventually lead them towards the place their target previously visite...

After killing Commander Azura, Lark immediately regrouped with the hunters from Gahelpa. As he expected, the illusion magic easily worked against the Beastmen. This forest was dense, and with illusion magic to misdirect the opponents, it was easy making them lose their way out.
Lark noticed that one of the hunters had a cut on his back. He was profusely bleeding, his face pallid. He was probably struck by one of the beastm...

Valak’s chest loudly pounded as he ran through the forest. Right now, they were being chased by those beastmen. Had he not known better, he would have mistaken those beastmen for monsters. He was sure that if those guys and the basilisks confronted each other, it would become a bloodbath. Those guys were that dangerous.
Looking at the other hunters, he realized that he was not the only one panic-stricken by now. Any moment...

Lark placed a hand on the crystal next to him. A small portion of his mana was instantly sucked away by the orb. Moments after, images started playing inside it. He could see the clouds above, the trees below, the mountains beyond. He saw sceneries through the eyes of several birds he captured a week ago.
He breathed in, poured in more mana into the orb, and willed the birds to fly further west, towards the direction of the ...

After creating a detailed map of the eastern region and preparing the traps, Lark went back to Blackstone Town. Upon arriving, he immediately started the next step of the plan. He gathered the remaining iron ingots and using transmutation magic, created bows.
The body of the bow was made of iron, while the strings were made using twisted rawhide. Runes and symbols were engraved on the handle grip, limbs, and string grooves.

Lark played with the pebble-size magic stone he held in his hand. Aside from the small, almost inconspicuous silver dusts flowing inside, the stone looked ordinary, just like the rocks seen on cobbled roads.
Twenty gold coins. The price of this low-grade magic stone was ridiculously high. Although the treasury was close to drying up during that time, Lark decided to buy this to accelerate the growth of his mana pool. This was a decision he came to ...

One of his subordinates shook his head. “None, Sir.”
Several days ago, they suddenly lost contact with the assassin stationed in Lion City. Although Zen was not...
