《True Assassin of Round Table》Knight of the Lake and Knight of the Traitor ( 2 )
Advertisement
Lancelot and Mordred had now arrived in front of the Adventurer's Guild after traveling for 2 days 2 nights from Camelot.
They began the mission Nash had given them, the day after Nash and Merlin left for Flying City. Well, well, their journey is arguably quite awkward, it was because their personalities clashed with each other.
Lancelot here is a person who is lethargic and keeps a flat face, he always seems unenthusiastic on occasion. While Mordred is basically a very talkative person.
They were both aware of that, so Nash's decision to make them do the same long-term mission was quite confusing.
As Nash had ordered, neither Mordred nor Lancelot wore their Divine Armor. There are several reasons for this, the first is that Divine Armor in terms of design and color will be too flashy to use, and it will instead lead to problems that, although they can be solved very easily, will continue to occur, namely appropriation.
The second reason is because it is not needed, the Divine Armor or Weapon possessed by the Knights in the Knights of Round Table has been inserted by a unique skill, the Camelot Authority which is the Trump card of each knight.
In addition to not using Full Armor, Lancelot and Mordred also covered themselves with simple brown robes, however, they continued to use light armor and still carried their main weapons, even after seeing the humans and warriors in E-Rantel, Lancelot felt very disappointed .
'There are no humans to watch out for so far, they are all very weak, is the level of power in this world only this much? '
Even though they didn't realize it, but Mordred and Lancelot had now become the center of attention of the people around them because they had just been standing in front of the Guild entrance stairs.
Even gossiping sounds could be heard around.
"What are the two of them doing? Why have you been quiet all this time?"
"Oi, Oi, do they both have enmity towards the Guild? Look at their faces ~ Uwa, scary."
"Shouldn't we not interfere, let's stay away."
Well, as people say, Lancelot and Mordred's faces looked like they were going to kill someone when they looked at the entrance of the Guild.
In fact, due to the atmosphere that caused them both, the people who wanted to enter the Adventurer Guild were doubtful and frightened, they preferred to retreat.
However, suddenly there were two people who casually approached Lancelot and Mordred from behind.
The two people are a man and a woman. The man looks very big a d tall. maybe about 2 meters and his body looks very sturdy and manly. His face was invisible and covered by a helmet, it was because he used a dark blue Full Armor that covered every inch of his body. And the most striking of his appearance was, a scarf like red robe flowing from his right shoulder, besides that two large, jet-black swords hung on his back.
Meanwhile, next to him is a very beautiful woman, her beauty can even rival the beauty of Mordred who incidentally is an NPC who has a 'perfect' physical. The woman has black hair tied with a yellow string. And she only wore a simple shirt with a brown robe that covered her upper body.
However, if an adventurer saw them, they would immediately get to know who the two people behind Lancelot and Mordred were at the moment.
That's because they are two adventurers known to people as Darkness, one of the Adamantite Adventurer's Group in the Re-Estize Kingdom.

The Armored Man is a person known as the Dark Hero, Momon. And the beautiful woman next to him is Beautiful Princess, Nabe.
"* Cough * You two, can you give us a way?"
A deep voice came from Momon who was currently standing right behind the two of them. Hearing this voice, both Mordred and Lancelot regained consciousness and immediately looked back.
And they were welcomed with an Armored man and a beautiful woman. Lancelot's initially glazed eyes widened slightly when he saw a human being who was far more than other humans, and also the aura that he carried was very impressive in Lancelot's eyes.
'I didn't expect to see a strong human this fast after I said that humans in this kingdom are weak, seems like I have to give a report to Nash-sama sooner than I thought. '
Lancelot then said.
Conversely, Momon also felt that the two humans in front of him today were not ordinary humans, especially the aura emanating from the sword hanging on their waists.
'These two are ... the swords they carry, those are Top-tier class items. '
Lancelot then gave way to Momon and said.
"Ah, sorry for blocking the road."
Momon nodded from behind his helmet, he then walked with heavy steps and the sound of the rustling of his steel armor could be heard every time he stepped.
Behind him, Nabe followed with a graceful step.
And when she saw Momon who was quite attractive to her, Mordred planned to use analytical magic, but her magic sign could be clearly felt by Nabe who passing right in front of her.
"* Gasp *"
* Fwuosh *
A silver flash flashed, when the killing intent emitted by Nabe could be felt by Momon, Lancelot and Mordred.
* Clang *
Sparks spread in the air when the sword that was released so quickly by Nabe could be parried by Mordred's silver sword.
'Eh, what? '
That of course made Momon stop walking and look back. Even the sound of the clanging of their swords both pulled passersby.
"Oi! What the f*ck are you doing, crazy woman !!! ??? Why are you suddenly swinging your sword at me !!! ???"
Mordred's distinctive voice that sounded a little hoarse seemed angry and confused as she said to Nabe in front of her.
"What were you trying to do before, Bitch! Answer me!"
" HAH!!!??? "
The two of them put on a really annoyed face, their faces tangled and looked at each other with killing intent. Even so, the beauty emitted by them can fascinate all who see it.
"Uwa! Isn't that Nabe-chan! What is she doing fighting with that blonde woman?"
"However, don't you see that the beauty of the blond woman is no less than Nabe-chan."
"Hoho! ~ Will there be a battle between the two Goddesses in this place?"
Meanwhile, seeing each of their colleagues fighting, both Lancelot and Momon try to stop them both.
"Nabe, stop it!"
"Morde, put your sword on!"
Both of them tried to break up, and surprisingly Nabe seemed to realize and immediately put back her sword on its sheath.
"Ah! I'm sorry, Momon-sa ... n. But this woman first wants to attack you using magic!"
Hearing Nabe's words, Mordred did not accept because she did not intend to attack or harm Armored man on front of her.
"HAH !!! What did you say! Do you want to cut your mouth huh?"
However, well Mordred was not good at expressing her thoughts in words so she even made the atmosphere worse.

"What did you just say? How dare you say that to me, you bitch!"
However, before Mordred and Nabe could return to their swords, Lancelot's voice that brought assertiveness instantly silenced them both.
"Stop it, both of you!"
His voice was as calm as a lake but the feeling he brought made Nabe widen her eyes, even without anyone's knowledge, Momon was shocked from behind his helmet.
"Don't you see we are currently in a public place."
And Mordred, naturally fell silent. However, her beautiful face still looked upset and she continued to grumble.
Then, Momon cleared his throat before speaking.
"* Cough * That's right, let's go inside so as not to disturb passersby."
***
"Hey look at that, aren't they Darkness, woah I never thought they would have become Adamantite adventurers, even though only a few days ago they were still in Cooper's rank, what caused their ranking to rise so rapidly."
"Heh, you don't know !? The rumor is that they both defeated a Vampire that was very strong!"
"Really! That's not human level anymore."
"Um, after all they were the same people who slaughtered thousands of Undead at the time, but ... who are the men and women who are in front of them, what are their partners, but I've never seen them anywhere."
A whisper was heard from the adventurers who watched the table currently occupied by Momon, Nabe, Lancelot and Mordred.
By the way, Lancelot and Mordred are currently using a pseudonym. Namely Lance and Morde, well that's just a spontaneous name by cutting a few letters from their names.
Although the adventurers' whispers were quite small, Lancelot could hear them clearly.
"Momon-san, looks like you're very famous here."
"That's the way it is."
Momon was still thinking about the aura that glowed from the man in front of him right now. All he knew, the man in front of him was named Lance and the woman beside him was named Morde.
The two of them seemed to be wanderers who had just arrived at E-Rantel, and wanted to register as adventurers.
"So ... adventurers have some sort of ranking system, huh?"
"That's right, as you can see, Nabe and I are the highest-ranking adventurers, Adamantite. Starting from the bottom, there are 8 ranks of adventurers namely Cooper, Iron, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Mithril, Orichalcum, and Adamantite."
Lancelot digested the information well, and he glanced at Momon in front of him.
'So this person is the highest ranking adventurer huh, roughly how strong is his ability ...'
Lancelot then said.
"Also, I heard there are only three groups of Adamantite adventurers in this kingdom? Aren't you and Nabe-san very strong to be one of them?"
"Well, that's true, but we just boarded the Adamantite yesterday."
Lancelot was silent hearing that, meanwhile Mordred who was beside him had been glaring at Nabe as if to kill her, and of course Nabe did not remain silent when glared at by Mordred. They even growled at each other which made the chat atmosphere worse.
"* sigh *"
Lancelot let out a tired sigh.
'Why did Nash-sama pair me up with Mordred ...'
Momon who saw that seemed to think in his mind before he said, trying to change the subject.
"Lance-san."
"Um, what's up?"
"What if as an apology for my partner's Rude behavior, today I will accompany you two to do the Quest?"
Lancelot, Mordred, and Nabe who heard that were of course shocked, and put on a suspicious look. How unsuspecting, a high-level adventurer wants to accompany a new adventurer who just met a little while ago.
But Lancelot tried to prejudge Momon, because he felt that the person in front of him had no ill intention.
"Eh? But what for?"
"Well, I realize you are not from this place, right?"
Lancelot nodded, then Momon resumed his words.
"I will guide you and explain to you about the area around here, besides that I will also explain about the Adventurer's Guild systematically ... but don't get me wrong, I want a commission from the results of your quest, how about? Think of this as good intentions from me . "
Lancelot who heard that thought, while the hangs in Momon's mind were.
'Well, am I perhaps too suspicious? ' Momon thought.
"Hmm ... Alright, I agree."
'Phew ... I didn't expect it to work. '
Momon nodded and then said, pointing to the registration counter, which was currently being guarded by a female receptionist.
"In that case, you should register first, in that place, I will look for a suitable Quest on the Bulletin Board."
Lancelot nodded, then he dragged Mordred to the counter register.
Meanwhile, Momon and Nabe, who were still sitting at the table, chatted in small voices so that others could not hear them.
"Momon-sa ... n"
"What's the matter, Nabe?"
"That ... why did you bother asking them to do a Quest, wouldn't that just be a waste of time guiding those two humans?"
Momon then lowered his head slightly and joined his arms together. And said in a serious tone.
"Did you feel it too?"
Nabe understood what Momon meant, so she nodded.
"That feeling, even though it was only for a moment but the intent that was emitted from the body of the man named Lance, was no joke, there was no mistaking that he was a skilled swordsman, from his breath I could tell that he had been trained in combat. Besides, a woman named Morde , she can withstand the striking of your sword easily, so I suspect that they are both worthy of attention, and by watching them fight closely I can decide whether they are useful to Nazarick or not. "
Hearing that, Nabe's serious looking eyes were full of admiration for Momon.
"I see, as expected of Ainz-sa ... Mmpph."
Momon immediately closed Nabe's mouth and looked panicked.
"Oi, don't say that name here!
Momon then let go of his hand.
"Ah! Forgive my carelessness, Ai ... Momon-san."
Momon sighed tiredly, he then turned and said.
"* Sigh * Instead of that, let's go to choose Quest before they finish registering."
***
* Growll *
The sound of lightning roared in the cloudy sky that enveloped the Roble Holy Kingdom. This was compounded by the Hurricane that never stopped.
Roble Holy Kingdom is a very religious kingdom, they mainly worship the Four Great Gods and their temples are everywhere.
And in one of the temples in the Capital Roble Hoky Kingdom, seen someone who fainted in front of the temple door.
Suddenly, the temple door opened and revealed a tall man with blue eyes and straight long blond hair who appeared to be in his late twenties or his early thirties, his body well-built and looked well-taken.
He wore white clothes that looked elegant, with unique blue symbols on his chest.
"Hmm ... this is bad, Calca will worry about me if I don't go home soon, but the heavy rain never stopped."
He looked at the sky, before he realized that someone was lying on the floor.
"Hmm ... a Person?"
The man immediately knelt in front of the lying person to check her condition. And when he opened the hood that covered her face, he could see a beautiful woman with pale blue hair and skin that was smooth but dirty from dirt.
' A woman? '
However, despite seeing a very beautiful woman in front of him, there was no lustful look in the man's eyes, and as he checked his pulse, the man heaved a sigh of relief.
"Phew ... thank goodness she's still alive, it looks like she's just tired and starving, I have to take her back to the Castle when the rain stops."
And that's when, the meeting that determined the future of the Roble Holy Kingdom took place.

From the Final World
I have lived a long, long time. Longer than the universe knows; longer than any star has seen or traveling light records. My memories; that is all that is left that knows that length, and that which was seen within it. Then again, that is all that ever did. When I am gone, it will be forgotten, a truth and a history lost forever no matter who or what tries to find it. I think that is why I write this now. A record, or a lament, of the most significant being of all time. It is a prideful exaltation of endless triumph, or the dread condemnation of infinite evil. I don’t know which; I shall leave it for others to judge. I could explain further, of course. I could list the sins that have been committed, the deeds that have been done. Yet for now, I believe this is enough. Her story will speak for itself. About the good, and evil, in the heart of a single girl burdened with more than her fair share. And how she reacted to it. So, I will tell her story. Of gods and devils, mortals and monsters, of legends long forgotten and civilizations long turned to dust. And in the end, I hope she knows herself, whether it is salvation, or destruction, she should receive.

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
