9. Cooperation

Renard the Great Demon was a criminal on the run from the underworld. Residents of the underworld normally had to be contracted to a human on the surface to pass through the astral gate of summoning, but Renard, having committed a crime, instead used a forbidden art to escape to the surface. He lost much of his power as the price for this forbidden art, but he was still a force to be reckoned with on the surface world. He wielded his power with no discretion, causing harm to humans wherever he went.

One of the Great Demon’s victims was Andrea of the Cerulean Dagger. Andrea’s hometown had been assaulted by Renard on a whim and was obliterated as a result, his friends and family all slaughtered.

Since then, Andrea had been pursuing Renard to exact justice upon him. However, Andrea was well aware that his strength was far beneath the Great Demon’s. He continued to fight stronger and stronger monsters to build combat experience, and challenged difficult dungeons in pursuit of rare artifacts. He sought the path of war in the hope that someday, he might succeed in taking Renard’s head for himself. It was a long and arduous path, but he would not allow himself to be killed without enacting his revenge. As much as he wanted to charge in recklessly, he instead put all of his efforts into training and bettering himself, slowly but surely building his strength and skill.

Today, the Cerulean Dagger was engaged in combat against a cohort of armed orcs in a wasteland near the city of Azrac.

“Watch out for the cliff above!”

“Everyone, turn right! They’re faster than expected!”

Orcs were tenacious monsters. While they were not ones to strategize, they were able to make use of proper tactics in battle. In large numbers, even platinum-ranked adventurers could struggle against them.

Amid her comrades fighting cautiously, Suzanna was the only one plowing ahead, swinging and slashing her sword against the enemy hordes. Her swift and surgical strikes targeted the weak spots in the orcs’ armor, disabling them one after another. Her light and agile movements could fool anyone into thinking that she never once placed her feet on the ground.

Voices of awe rang out from her comrades.

“Suzanna is incredible... She’s been on a roll lately.”

“Yeah. I heard her brother finally got cured.”

“Hasn’t she been working to pay for his treatment all this time? No wonder she feels so free.”

Thanks to Suzanna’s efforts, the clan managed to eliminate the horde of orcs. The clan members started to gather the monsters’ equipment as spoils of battle. It was mostly poor-quality, but it’d be usable as a source of metal. On top of that, some of it was decent equipment stolen from other adventurers. As long as a lost-and-found report had yet to be posted, monster loot belonged to the ones who took the creature down. This was a good way to earn extra income outside of the bounty rewards.

Andrea approached Suzanna. “You’re doing great,” he said to her.

“Yeah! Cyril’s all better now, and I’ve never felt this great.
