Chapter 444: The Three SS Rank Adventurers


    The Investigation Team from the Adventurer Guild split into 3 groups after they entered the Kingdom.


    Among the 3 groups, Jacks group was moving with the smallest number of personnel.


    Normally, you would need many people to safeguard the frontline for an archer but Jack has no need for that.


    Thats why Jack assigned four of the five S-rank Adventurers to the other two groups.


    The remaining one was assigned as his assistant. And just an assistant. Jack doesnt intend to count on theirbat ability.


    However.


    Jack-san. If a Demon appears then you can leave it to me?


    That is still a hundred years too early for you.


    They are currently at an underground facility that is likely to be one of Grimoires bases.


    Jack infiltrated the facility with only one person by his side.


    An S-rank adventurer based in the United Kingdom of Eaglet.


    His name is Bruce Tarrant.


    The young ice mage with the nickname of [the Freezing Noble] due to his gentlemanly behavior and appearance.


    Go back above ground and wait for me there. I will handle the Demon.


    That wouldnt do right. It would be meaningless for me to tag along with you in the first ce.


    Your reason for being here is to guard our investigators.


    We already have the AAA-rank guys for that you know.


    Im telling you to go join them.


    So strict. Even like this, I am still an S-rank you know?


    Bruce waved his right hand as he said that.


    With that alone, several enemies that were hiding in the shadows were frozen.


    For a while now, Bruce had been dealing with the small fries in this underground facility.


    I think that I can at least help here though?


    I didnt bring you here because I expected a battle.


    Please dont say that. Our opponents are Demons you know? I think that it would be better if we cooperate with each other.


    Is that so.


    The moment he said that, Jack stopped his feet.


    There was a petite girl in front of him.


    Why is there such a small girl here?


    Bruce is wondering and tries to step up and protect the girl.


    However, the moment he took a step past Jack.


    He was hit by a strong chill.


    He immediately took his distance and got ready for battle.


    I came out to see for myself since I heard the SS-rank adventurers areing. So, whos going to be my opponent?


    That would be me.


    Saying so, Jack readied the bow he hung on his shoulder and slightly cracked his neck.


    Seeing Jacks calmness, Bruce felt the difference between them.


    Theres no doubt that the girl in front of them is a Demon.


    Recalling the chill he felt, Bruces legs are shaking a little.


    However.


    Jack-sanlet me fight her.


    Ara? Two came to my ce?


    Im Bruce Tarrant. An S-rank adventurer.


    The moment she heard that he was an S-rank, the girls expression immediately looked as if she lost interest in him.


    Then.


    It would be one thing if my opponent is the strongest the Adventurer Guild has to offer but you have no right to face me since you are still a level below that. Just go home.


    DONT UNDERESTIMATE ME!


    Bruce instantly created countless icicles around him and prepared to shoot them all at the girl.


    In response, seeing so many icicles he created, the girl happily apuded.


    Thats amazing. You do party?


    DAMN YOU!


    He shot the icicles at the girl but the girl casually walked slowly forward.


    She didnt walk at the speed that makes her invisible to the eyes.


    Still, none of the icicles hit the girl.


    They all passed through gaps between the girls limps andnded behind her.


    Just like that, all of Bruces icicles were exhausted.


    Good work.


    Suddenly, the girl was next to Bruce.


    When did she get so close?


    Bruce couldnt tell at all.


    The thought of defending himself floated in his mind but before he could do anything, the girl raises her right hand.


    Well then, goodbye.


    Bruce was hit with the dread of death.


    He prepares to at least get one counterattack in but even that is meaningless.


    After all, the girl was blown away the next moment.


    Goodbye to you too.


    Jack was following the movement of the Girl that Bruce failed to follow.


    He kicked the girl away.


    Jack-san..


    Hurry up and return above ground. Evacuate all of our investigators and report to the other groups. Tell them that a Demon appeared.


    ..Understood.


    Understanding his helplessness in the face of a Demon and insurmountable wall he cant ovee, Bruce turns his back and starts running.


    The girl did not give chase.


    Even though she was kicked away by Jack, she did not take any damage at all.


    Youve got an amazing speed. Its been a while since I had to defend.


    Is that right. Then defend this too.


    With no intention to chitchat, Jack readies his bow and immediately shoots magic arrows at her.


    With a bow in his hand, the barrage of magic arrows does not stop.


    Still, the girlzily avoided every single one like she did earlier.


    Ara, so scary.


    There is a big hole in the wall behind the girl.


    And the girl was looking happily at it.


    A yful brat eh.


    Thats rude. My name is Ipos. Even if I look like this, I am still one of Grimoires executives, you know?


    Yeah? Then let me introduce myself too. Im Jack, an SS-rank adventurer from the Adventurer Guild. Im here to subjugate you.


    Jack said as he rapidly fired his arrows at the girl again.


    But in response,


    I hate this.at least I wanted my opponent to be a handsome guy you know.


    My bad then.


    Linares, who was also investigating one of their bases encountered a Demon as well.


    The Demon he is facing is a middle-aged man with a muscr body.


    The Demon named himself as he flexed his muscles.


    The name is Marbas. I have been looking forward to fighting you.


    Unfortunately, Im not looking forward to this at all. Seriously.its about time that I have to take care of my skin..


    It seems I am being looked down on quite a bit huh.


    In response to Linaress couldnt-care-less attitude, Marbas immediately closed in on Linares.


    He then shot a straight punch at him.


    And in the next moment.


    Marbas was in the air.


    He didnt jump there himself.


    He was thrown.


    Impatient men are unpopr, you know?


    I see.


    Understanding that he was sent flying, Marbas made a mid-air recovery andnded.


    He then readied up again.


    Let me test my ability then. [Bipr Divine Fist].


    Couldnt be helped then.SS-rank adventurer of the Adventurer Guild, Linares. Im subjugating you.


    Said Linares with a daring smile.


    In a town within the Kingdoms territory.


    There, Egor was confronting a small boy.


    Egor had attacked the base he was assigned to but he came to this town using his own intuition.


    He felt that someone was calling for him here.


    And that was correct.


    The town was on fire.


    The citizens are fleeing from it leaving a scene of tragedy.


    There, a young confused girl asked Egor.


    Who are you.


    While stroking the girls head, Egor answered.


    Im Egor, an SS-rank adventurer from the Adventurer Guild. You did good holding out so far.


    Oi, oi, old man. Can you not interrupt my game? I was enjoying shooting down humans, you know?


    The boy yawns as he floats sidewayszily in the air.


    After ncing at the boy, Egor hits the ground with his cane.


    That alone caused a big gust and the mes raging over the town were blown away.


    If you enjoy ying games so much then I will apany you. We are ying tag. I am it. You can start running for your life now.


    Egor muttered as he unsheathed the sword from his cane.
