《True Assassin of Round Table》Rolia Village ( 2 )
Advertisement
There was silence when people saw Nash's arrival. The Slane Theocracy soldiers who were there were confused by what had just happened.
A Salamander's head that was about 2 meters in diameter was thrown at them, several people died because they were crushed with their internal organ and blood scattered on the ground, and some were killed after bouncing and hitting the ground.
Hazia who saw his men die looked angry, but he tried to stay calm. He then turned and looked at Esmeralda and the man who had just thrown the head at them.
'Do I have to retreat ...' Hazia was in a dilemma, he could not decide whether he should retreat or not. Because the current situation is no longer in his favor.
Meanwhile, Esmeralda, who saw Nash and Merlin coming, was quite happy and relieved, because at least she didn't need to worry about the safety of the villagers.
" Stand up. "
Nash and Merlin then adjusted their attitude and stood before Esmeralda. Esmeralda then said.
"Thank you for killing the Salamander, Sir Nash, Ms. Merlin."
"We are honored by your words, my queen."
Nash then glanced a little at Hazia who seemed to be preparing to summon the monster for the second time. He grinned and said.
"Besides, I want to know how the Salamander's meat tastes."
Hazia gasped at that, well, it must be admitted that at this moment he was a little scared, someone who could throw a Salamander's head so big with ease, his physical strength was clearly inhuman.
'The hooded man's physical strength might be equivalent to the tenth seat, ' Strongest human '. Also, this woman named Esmeralda was able to defeat the dozens of trained soldiers we sent a few days ago. Damn, they are all not normal. '
Esmeralda then turned and looked at Hazia, she then pointed her spear at the Slane Theocracy soldiers and said with a sharp look.
"What was your name, Qusese?"
"Th-that, Quaiesse."
"Well whatever it is, at this time you don't have anything that you can use as a weapon to fight me, but since there are no casualties I will give you the opportunity to withdraw your troops right now, and send my greetings to the higher-ups you mentioned earlier. "
Hearing Esmeralda's words, Hazia gulped.
"* Gulp *"
'What should I do, do I have to retreat or fight ... if I retreat, those damned old people will surely punish me for causing harm without bringing any results, and if I fight ...'
Hazia then smiled mysteriously and said to Esmeralda.
"Alright, I'll retreat ..."
" In that case- "
However, before Esmeralda finished her words, Hazia's expression turned serious and said.
"... there's no way I would say that, right !!!"
Hearing that, all the villagers who initially sighed in relief returned to tensing. Esmeralda only stared at Hazia with the look of a fool. While Hazia spread her arms forward and said.
" APPEAR, GIGANT BASILISK !!!"
And the bluish-green light emanating from the ring in his hand, slowly gave rise to a very large monster.
The monster that Hazia summoned was a bigger version of the Basilisk. Gigant Basilisk is a green monster that has characteristics almost similar to the Basilisk, but the toxins in body fluids are far more deadly than ordinary Basilisk. Besides that, his most dangerous ability is Petrifying Gaze.

"This is my trump card, Gigant Basilisk."
Seeing Hazia's actions, Merlin said with a sarcastic look.
"Idiot."
Nash then said to Esmeralda.
"Should I kill him?"
"No, let me teach them a lesson," Esmeralda said with a sharp look at Hazia.
Esmeralda is an idealistic person and has a high spirit of justice, she from the very beginning did not like the arbitrary actions carried out by Slane Theocracy's soldiers.
Because it reminds her of her old world, the rotten world whose society is led by capitalists.
Hazia then immediately said with a smile.
"Attack that woman, Gigant Basilisk!"
Like a lizard being neglected, Gigant Basilisk ran towards Esmeralda which caused dust to fly in his legs.
"Gracck!"
Esmeralda who saw that also tightened her grip to the handle of her spear, and drove towards the Gigant Basilisk with a flat gaze. Meanwhile, Hazia smiled broadly and said.
"Heh, you're done... Petrifying Gaze!"
After he said that, a gray light appeared from the eyes of the Basilisk towards Esmeralda and the other villagers.
Hazia who thought he would win laughed in his mind.
'Even though you have good martial and spear ability, if you get hit by Petrifying Gaze you will turn to stone, Esmeralda. '
But Hazia's hopes were shattered because Esmeralda looked fine when the gray light touched her. Hazia was surprised and said.
" What!!?? "
The reason why Esmeralda was not affected by the Petrifying Gaze effect waged by the Gigant Basilisk was simple. That's because Esmeralda's Magic Resistance made her immune to all magic attacks under 8th Tier.
Which means, Esmeralda will not get damage if she is attacked by 1 - 7 Tier magic.
However, the gray ray continued to advance towards the villagers, seeing that, even though he knew this beam would not affect him or Merlin. Nash, still had to remove the gray light so that the villagers did not turn to stone.
"[All Creation Can Be Killed]"
Nash's eyes fluctuated slightly and emitted a unique light. The scene he saw changed in an instant after he activated the skill.
He could see the red lines which were the ' life lines ' of the Petrifying Gaze, and by then entering the distance of his attack, Nash then decided to use one of his daggers.
He then shook his dagger into the empty air and said with a bored face.
"[Anti-Magic]"
* Fwuosh *
Instantly, the gray light disappeared, and Nash returned his dagger to the sheath.
Hazia who saw that widened his eyes more and more, all things were more out of his control.
'Damn, why does the Petrifying Gaze suddenly disappear, What happened !!! '
Before he can decide what to do next, Hazia's calm was crushed again when he saw Esmeralda piercing the belly of the Gigant Basilisk with only one spear prick.
* Fwuosh *
" Hah? "
Without wasting time, Esmeralda immediately got the right footing and prepared to head towards Hazia at full speed.
And when Hazia saw the look Esmeralda gave him, his heart seemed to stop. But, finally he can think clearly even for a moment.
'Ah ... how can I be so stupid, these people ... they are all monsters. '
* Fwuosh *
Esmeralda instantly appeared in front of Hazia and without using her spear, she grabbed Hazia's head like a ball and banged it on the ground very hard.

* Bump *
"Ackk!" Hazia vomited blood and felt his skull crack.
The Slane Theocracy soldiers who saw that felt their breath faltered, they could only stand trembling, without being able to help their leader.
However, because Esmeralda was not a cruel person, she did not continue to beat up Hazia, for once she had hit her head on the ground like before.
Then it is certain that Hazia's life will be lost. Esmeralda then released Hazia, who was immediately scared by fear as he looked at Esmeralda.
"Slane Theocracy's soldiers! This is my last warning. I, Esmeralda, swear by my pride as a knight, if your side dares to attack Rolia Village for the third time, there will be no forgiveness for you."
Esmeralda's voice echoed in the air, the evening sky adorned her great declaration. Her words were full of strength, just like a queen.
"Go and deliver this message to your leader !!!"
The soldiers who were initially shocked that Esmeralda did not kill them, immediately frantically got up and left, several soldiers carried Hazia's body which was limp on the ground.
After that, the battle between Rolia Village led by Esmeralda against the Slane Theocracy soldiers led by Hazia ended at sunset. With a landslide victory for Esmeralda and Rolia Village.
Nash looked at Esmeralda's back for a moment before he glanced at Merlin.
"Bring me the blond man alive."
"Yes, Nash-sama."
Then, Merlin used Greater Teleportation and disappeared from Nash's side.
After seeing that the Slane Theocracy soldiers had retreated, the villagers who were initially still shocked then cheered in happiness.
"Are the Slane Theocracy soldiers gone? I'm not dreaming, are I?"
"* hiks * From now on, we will no longer be forced to give tribute or anything like that right."
"Um, this all thanks to Esmeralda-san."
" Um, She is our Hero. "
Nash who heard the chatter of the villagers then glanced at the figure of Esmeralda who was still standing in her place before. Nash smiled and thought.
'You are awesome, Esmeralda-san. Attracting people to follow you voluntarily without the slightest coercion, this is something I will never be able to do for the rest of my life. '
***
After that, the villagers returned to the village to give their wife and children good news. Everyone continues to hail the name Esmeralda, and her nickname, the Goddess of War.
The villagers then celebrated and lit a bonfire in the middle of the village. They danced and sang, a festive atmosphere enveloped the village of Rolia on a night filled with stars.
While Esmeralda followed the celebration by the villagers, Arthur, Nash and Merlin were seen sitting at a table while watching the celebration from a distance.
In front of them was a plate of meat and a bowl of warm soup, which had just been cooked by the villagers.
"Long time no see, Nash-sama. Sorry for not being able to welcome you."
"Well, it's been two weeks, I guess."
Nash and Merlin, who were starving because they hadn't eaten lunch, immediately devoured the meat and soup. Feel the softness of the potatoes, and the fresh vegetables in the soup, Nash said.
"This is very delicious, vegetables that are fresh and rich in spices, this is extraordinary."
Arthur who heard Nash smiled and nodded.
"Um, these are vegetables grown directly by the residents of Rolia Village, Esmeralda-sama and I were also surprised when we first came here. After we asked the village head, it seemed that the soil conditions around Rolia Village were very fertile and good. Besides that, because the village is located in the highlands, the temperature and humidity of the air is also very suitable for growing vegetables."
Chewing on his food, Nash said.
"No wonder the people from Slane Theocracy were very determined to drive Esmeralda out of this village, so they assumed that with the presence of Esmeralda the Rolia village on the edge might rebel and they would lose one of their best vegetable suppliers."
" Yeah, thats true. "
Nash then resumed eating his food thinking.
'Quality vegetables like this, if I can grow them in Camelot ... I think I will ask the village head directly tomorrow. '
Nash thought. Well, actually lately Nash was in his new hobby, which is farming. It may seem strange, but in this beautiful world, it was an activity that he really wanted to do, but he could not do in his old world.
Nash's old world is a world that has been damaged by humans, the earth's ecosystem is damaged, plants are very rarely found. And in fact, there are no more blue skies in Nash's old world.
There was only smoke from pollution everywhere, so when he was transferred to this world, Nash was very happy, but when he remembered his mother, Nash's purpose was again clarified. He wants to bring his mother to this world, cure her illness using magic, and show her this beautiful world.
Nash then thought while looking at the stars in the sky.
'Mom, wait for me, I will definitely bring you to this world ...'
***
In a building that is similar to a church, with a mosaic glass that emits light.
Seen 6 people who are wearing the same clothes standing in a blanket of darkness. In front of them there was a man in his twenties with a handsome face that was seen kneeling.
The man had black hair tied, and sharp red eyes.
"This is the second time, this time what you want to make an excuse, Captain."
"Nothing, this is completely my failure."
"You admit it, that's good, but that won't change anything, right now Quaiesse has disappeared somewhere, even the soldiers he brought don't know, right?"
The man nodded.
"That's right. The soldiers brought by Quaiesse can't remember anything why he suddenly disappeared."
Then, one of the people who stood up said.
"This woman named Esmeralda must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise she will definitely start a separatist movement in the village of Rolia and we will lose our biggest vegetable supplier."
" I agree, she is very dangerous."
Then, the person standing in the middle said to the black haired man.
"Then it has been decided, with this that all members of the Black Scripture, including Zesshi Zetsumei, will be assigned to kill the woman named Esmeralda. Failure is not accepted."
Hearing the command, the black haired man lowered his head and said obediently.
" Roger. "

For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

QQQQ
Have you ever noticed that the letter Q is unnecessary? It doesn't provide any function to the language. Any word spelled with it could just as easily be spelled with other letters. Does that mean it shouldn't exist? Of course not. In this universe, everything has a place. Cosmic balance, Karma, God's plan, the laws of physics—they're all trying to describe the same thing. There is nothing that exists without purpose, and nothing without purpose that can exist. You can take solace in knowing that, just like the useless letter Q, you have birthright to exist in this world. Nothing can take that from you. Unless a creator God breeds technicolor angel-beasts hellbent on ripping you out of reality, of course. When Mina learns that she was a cosmic accident—a being accidentally created without purpose—what was once an easygoing life starts to entwine with conspiracies, impossible occurrences, and deadly occult mysteries. Not to mention friends so dangerous and unpredictable they make the cosmic horrors look normal by comparison. When the questions never stop piling up, it's hard to know where to begin. But I'll give you a hint: they all begin with a Q.
