Chapter 566 A Fight Against The Knight Commander?
-----
Saphira was a sweet receptionist of this adventurer guild's building. She was a Fish Anima or Mermaid Anima as I prefer to call her. In simpler terms, a fish-type beast kin person. I was surprised at first but it seems there's just a wide variety of them, more than just the usual wolves or cats. She said she came to live here because she wanted to live in the countryside, though it is a bit risky to live so far away from a big source of water like the sea or a lake or river, she is good at water magic, so she can always just refresh herself with water magic whenever she wants.
However she had some problems around a month ago, apparently her gills were getting itchy and slightly dry, so I made her a special hydrating cream using alchemy and several materials I had. In fact I ended making so much I gave her a year worth of it. She wanted to give me all her savings for them but I just sold them to her at a very affordable price.
Now she looks way more shinier and filled with lots of vitality than before. I guess my cream did the trick there!
"Alright you guys, have a nice trip! Please don't overdo it!"
As she said goodbyes, we made our way to the town's entrance, a gate protected by a fortress with many soldiers in there, all wearing shiny armor. And most of them being pure blooded elves that belong to Knight Houses.
"So what quest did you picked?" I wondered.
"Exterminate Wild Boars, Pick Up Medicinal Herb, Antidote Herb, Horned Rabbit, normal stuff." Said Aquarina.
"And hunting the Tyrant Forest Tiger too." Said Zack.
"I see, that's pretty easy stuff- Wait what?!" I asked back at Zack. "Isn't that like a Tier 4 Monster?"
"Pffff! That's just easy peasy for us now." Zack said relaxedly. "Don't worry I'll take it down myself, you girls don't need to do a single thing."
"He insisted on it." Said Aquarina.
"Isn't that like a D Rank Quest though?" Asked Celeste.
"Aw come on, don't worry about it." Zack seemed oddly relaxed today.
"Yeah, Zack's strong!" Said Mist. "I can heal him too; we are the perfect duo!"
"Y-Yeah!" Zack said, doubting for a bit. Mist's shiny eyes were glowing brightly, she really wanted to see him in action.
"Hey, stop right there."
Suddenly, we were once more stopped.
A burly man as tall as two meters showed up.
Elves often are believed to be sleek and thin, but they can come in all shapes and forms.
This man right here, a black-haired elf with sharp purple eyes was Knight Commander Eustace, a powerful and strict Knight and perhaps the strongest of them all within this town.
His arms were filled with scars and he always wore Mithril armor over his chest and legs, but his arms were always left without armor. He always carried around his big axe too.
"Young Lady! Are you, by any chance, planning to go to the dangerous outside world? Denied! Please go back to your house now."
"But I brought my friends…"
"I am legally given the power to deny your ability to exit to the outside of the town! Lady Faylen and Lord Allan trust me with all their souls and hearts!"
"Ugh, my mother gave me the permission! Why would I even be coming to the gate if she didn't? I would had just sneaked outside by jumping off the walls…"
"Y-You do that Young Lady?!"
Eustace freaked out about realizing the truth of something he always overlooked.
"All the time…" I sighed. "Anyways, here."
I gave him a paper written by mother.
"Dear Eustace, my daughter is trying to prove herself as an adult, so please let her go outside. Don't worry, she's actually stronger than you…" Eustace read, quickly looking at me with narrow eyes. "This is the handwritten letter of Lady Faylen, there's no mistake… However, if you want me to let you go, you will have to engage in battle against me, young Lady!"
The other knights panicked.
"W-Wait Commander, stop!"
"Oi, is he nuts?!"
"Stop that!"
"I am Tier 6! How come the Young Lady would be stronger than me in battle? Maybe Lady Faylen is trying to send me a message. Perhaps she's saying I must stop her!" Eustace said. He was really a pain in the ass.
"Ugh…" I sighed, facepalming. "Fine, this is a good opportunity to test out my new powers anyways. And we are at broad daylight, perfect."
"So you accept? Hm! Just as brave as your father!" Eustace nodded with a dead-serious face. "I will go easy on the Young Lady to teach her a lesson."
"Wait Sylphy is this okay?! He's Tier 6!" Said Aquarina.
"Ah, I am a bit worried now…" Zack muttered.
"Isn't Eustace almost Tier 7 too?!" Mist wondered.
"Hahaha, she's bold!" Laughed Celeste.
Everyone quickly cleared the way so we could have a battle right in front of the gates. I took out my Sword, forged using True Demon Materials and enchanted into a near legendary item by the Witch of the Blue Mountain.
Meanwhile, Eustace brought his enormous Black Death Bat Axe, a giant Axe made from the Magic Crystal of a Giant Death Bat, a Tier 7 Monster, it also included its fangs and bones as materials. It was a mighty weapon that could be considered Lesser Mythic Class.
"Alright Young Lady, I'll let you charge at me. Do your best but please be careful, you're still very small and thin, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if you ever got hurt-"
FLUOOOSH!
My body quickly began to react to the sunlight bathing my body. I guess this was the power of the Blessing of Hyperion… This amazing Ability within his Divine Protection…
[Sunshine]!
My body suddenly began glowing bright red and orange, with a blazing aura coming from within my body. My eyes began to emanate flames, everyone else was shocked.
"T-That's… isn't that the Blazing Aura of Hero Allan?!"
