Souta met with Yuko on the surface. This time she couldn't help him in this quest as she couldn't even enter the underground base. If she could join the fight she would be a great help to him as she was stronger than Jack in terms of strength but her skills were lower than him. Even with that, just her strength would be great in knocking down those abnormal people as she could knock those people with a single strike.

Souta looked around and saw hundreds of people laying down on the ground. The villagers who did not become abnormal people were helping them.

From the corner of his eyes, he saw the boy from before. He approached him and called him.

"Hey, boy!"

The boy turned around and saw Souta. Then, his eyes widened as he saw the person on his back. That person was his sister.

"S-sister...!" The boy was shocked. After the people in the village came here he also went here to find his sister. He wandered around and couldn't find her sister among those people. He thought that he would not meet his sister anymore.

"Oi oi! Don't cry in front of me. Tell me where are your house and I'll help you?" Souta said to the boy when he saw his watery eyes.

The boy wiped his eyes and nodded at Souta.

"Good." Souta turned his head and saw the village chief was talking to Jack and the rest of the adventurers.

"You already know that there are abnormal people down there, right?"

"Yeah, but I didn't think that the mastermind would there."

"At least you should have told us everything you know before we get down there."

Souta will leave the talking to Jack. He would leave this place for now as he doesn't want someone to bother him.

He looked in the sky and squinted his eyes. It was afternoon as the sun was up at the peak and it's quite got right now. He stepped forward and said, "Yuko, let's go!"

...

The boy guided Souta in their house. The house was small and made of woods. Just from seeing this, he could guess that they were not doing well.

Souta entered the house with the boy while Yuko waited outside. He placed the girl on his back on the wooden bed.

"Don't worry she's fine, she will wake up after one or two days."

Souta said as he sat down in the vacant chair and sighed. The battle before was really great that it drained his mana and stamina. Also, he injured his left arm. It would take a week before he could use it in a battle.

"Thank you, brother!"

He heard the voice of the boy. He lifted up his head to look at him.

"Don't worry about it, well do you have any bandage here?" Souta asked the boy.

"Yes, we have some here!" The boy immediately went to the drawer and took out bandages. He handed it to Souta.

"Thanks..." Souta received the bandages from the boy. He stood up and asked, "Where's your bathroom?"

The boy pointed at the bathroom. Even though Souta was acting like this he still did what Souta said. After all, he was their savior and without him, he wouldn't be able to meet his sister.

Souta washed his left arm and dried it before he wrapped the bandages around his left arm. Washing his wounds gave him unbearable pain and he could only grit his teeth.

After that, he went outside of the house and sat beside Yuko.

She licked his cheek and Souta let her be. He doesn't have the strength to stop what she's doing as all he wanted right now was to rest.

He looked at the blue sky and said, "Do you know Yuko that I'm a powerful person in this world before? At that time, people called me the top ranker."

Yuko just looked at him with a confused expression.

"Actually, I'm quite scared when I first arrived here, no, even now I'm still scared about everything. I just hid it deeply in my heart and treat all this as a game to lessen it." Souta paused for a moment before he continued, "I don't know what am I or why am I here. Even though I could clearly remember the 'me' in the game I couldn't remember the 'me' on earth. I only remember my name and some basic things in the past."

"Muu." Yuko tilted her head as she couldn't understand what he was saying.

Souta found it weird that he couldn't clearly remember his past. It seemed that something important happened on the earth before he came here. Although he couldn't remember he still felt that it was very important to him.

"Let's stop thinking about gloomy things!" Souta shook his head. He then grabbed the handle of the sword on his waist and pulled it out.

Shiing!!

This sword was the dark grade weapon, [Vajra Sword Saya]. It was a very powerful weapon among all the dark grade equipment.

The blade of the sword was really beautiful with its crimson color. He registered it as "equip" in the system so that he could saw its details.

Souta felt a huge increase in his stats by requiring the [Vajra Sword Saya]. It was especially great in his dexterity and agility stats. The increase was enormous to the point that he was a hundred percent faster than before, no, more like two hundred percent faster.

[Vajra Sword Saya](Dark): A powerful sword from ancient times. It's said that it was the sacred sword of the Vajra Race. But no one really knows its origin.

Effect: +200 Agility and Dexterity attributes, +50 Intelligence and Strength attributes, +50% physical damage, +80% energy resistance

Skill 1: [Crimson Moon]: It created a moon-like slash that could heavily damage the target. Plus 100% physical damage.

Skill 2: [Cross Moon]: It could create a cross slashed in the mid-air and the user could control it in any direction. It deals true damage and corrupts the target energy pool. Cost: 50 mana

Skill 3: [Possession]: The will of the sword will possess the host and it will greatly increase all the attributes. Effect: +50% to all stats when activated.

As expected of one of the most powerful dark grade equipment. With these stats, it could make the user became stronger multiple times. Just like what happened to that girl. She's just an ordinary village girl but when she used the sword it made her strong enough to go fight him toe to toe.

Luckily, her movement was that of an amateur and it's very predictable. She was just so fast and could react instantly to his every attack. She wouldn't be able to injure his left arm if not for him protecting the other people. Even with the skills of the sword wasn't enough to defeat him as long as Souta could predict its trajectory.

The strange red woman too. Her strength was strong but it's not to the point that it was overwhelming. He felt that the added attributes of the sword didn't work on her. If that's really the case then she would become stronger than the rest of them and will not have any chance to defeat her.

He wouldn't want to use the skill [Possession] because he doesn't know whether it was the same in the game that it will only increase his stats or like the abnormal people here that the will of the sword controlled them.

This was the only sword he could use right now as the yellow grade sword that he used before only have one durability points.

Durability point. After red grade equipment, the dark and universal grade equipments doesn't have any durability points. A person could only break this grade of equipment by fulfilling certain requirements.

Back in the game, there was a certain guild that used all their resources to fulfill all the requirements needed to break the equipment of the guild master of their rival guild. Fulfilling the conditions was really hard as sometimes it can only be found on other continents.

"It's all worth it." Souta smiled and he hung the sword on his waist. He then stood up and patted his clothes.

Suddenly, the door behind him opened and the boy came out. He looked at Souta before he bowed his head.

"Thank you, for saving my sister. Although I couldn't repay you now, but someday surely I will repay everything for what you did to us." The boy thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't worry about it." Souta smiled and waved his hand before he turned around. "Let's go, Yuko."

Yuko looked at the boy before she followed behind him.

"Someday, huh?" Souta muttered and he looked in the sky. He doesn't know if the boy could really do it or not. Well, it doesn't matter to him as he didn't do it for him or his sister. He only did it for the quest and the [Vajra Sword Saya].

Souta and Yuko went to the inn that he checked in yesterday. He hadn't slept in this inn last night because of the appearance of the abnormal people.

Now, he could finally relax his tense muscle.
