Clicking the "no" option would bring the wrath of the two so I clicked yes.

[Processing... Processing complete. Dark Griffin Knight successfully completed the pact. The two can still be categorized as different individuals but as long as they act together, they will be called Dark Griffin Knight.]

Although he hails in the darkness, he is not against working for the good and the light. A loyal servant and a trustworthy warrior.

Master: Bladeheart

This was kind of unexpected to my part. Seeing the fusion was a success, it was rather troublesome even for me. Looking at the stats of the two, it was now locked to 600. That was already so high and if they attacked me with just a flick on Leona's wings, it will immediately reduce my HP to a whopping zero. Isn't this making everything broken? Their stats would definitely garner the attention of everyone! My plan to slowly rise in strength will immediately be exposed to these broken stats!

What is more, two of their skills, the racial and the first skill is already dangerous. The two skills are both AOE and what is more, they ignore defense values. That means, even if you wear the sturdiest shields and armors, as long as it hits, it will hit and will never miss and those shields will never be useful when facing against the attacks.

They can be useful in the future especially in raids but this early will just cause everyone to immediately notice my progress. If I want them to easily forget me, I would rather keep my achievements in minimal. The clearing of the Lesser Purgatory already attracted a few people's attention and if I add another shocking scene, this will nail my notoriety and I don't want that. It is not yet the exact time to show off.

After asking a few questions on Atlas and Leona, I finally managed to get the gist of them. For now, they will be only called out individually rather than calling them both at the moment. Leveling them up is a priority for the future bosses to help me in slaying them. Recalling them back, I realized that it's almost sunset here in the game world. According to what I learned from Lina's mother, the guy who issued the fake debt to them will come this afternoon. If that is the case, that guy will be there any moment.

Since Leona and Atlas can still be called individually, I call Leona once again and asked her to send me near the Capital.

...

As soon as I arrived, I already saw Hyde in a nearby alley near the inn. Even though his class is clearly not an Assassin or a Ninja, he managed to enter the stealth state. I am already accustomed to spotting stealth state players in the past timeline so finding Hyde is already easy enough for me. Still, I didn't call him out. Calling him out will cancel the stealth so no need to do it.

Finding a better place to maintain my scope of surveillance, I immediately spotted a few guys which are clearly dressed as mercenary lackeys of Hyde. The only thing is that they are too similar to a bandit group than a mercenary group. First, they don't carry axes and longswords that those guys of Hyde carry. Instead, they are carrying maces and daggers. Why I am saying they are not in Hyde's Group? Because his mercenaries are more on power and offense. All of Hyde's men are carrying either a shield and sword, longsword, axes, and longbows but I never see any of them using any maces and daggers.

Second, the group I am seeing now has a magician with them. Magicians are a rare class in mercenary groups. You can even say that a magician doing the mercenary job is another different story. They might be feasible if they are adventurers but a mercenary group? Nope, not can do. Definitely not possible. One, mercenaries are more on brawl and fulfilling odd jobs. They are called warriors for hire. If they ever become one, they would be dead already due to how mercenaries accept jobs and how they lack the support classes needed for the magicians to stay efficient in battle.

That means the magician with them is someone they must have hired or if they are their teammates, these guys are not mercenaries, to begin with. Walking a little bit further, I saw more groups similar to the first one group I spotted. Their eyes are all focused on the inn of Lina and her mother which means this is something the so-called mercenary will do later on in case something he planned on will not work.

Then, a young man with a haughty appearance alongside with someone who looks like a noble appeared on the street. Most people give way to them and run away once they passed by. Some of the stores they are going to pass by immediately closed their business. From the looks of it, I found my targets or should I say, targets...
