Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

The young man lowered his head and made a noise, tears welling up in his eyes. At this time, Oliver gritted his teeth and grabbed the young man's collar and forced him to raise his head.

“Hey! Is Russell over there!?”

"Ah, you are... Yes, you are looking for him too..."

The young man recognized Oliver. He knew that Oliver was an important partner of Russell.

Because of this, the young man made up his mind and said to Oliver seriously: "I will not say bad things. Russell has become a monster. The Russell you know is no longer there!"

Oliver grabbed his collar, and Alicia and Jill beside him were also overwhelmed by these words. Regardless of this, the young man continued: "I saw it with my own eyes. The others were also defeated... There was no resistance at all. They were no longer human or monster. They were demons without blood or tears!"

The young man spoke in tears. Oliver was speechless. It was obvious that he was not joking.

Thinking that he had fallen into such a dark place, Oliver naturally let go of the young man's hand. Just as he shook his fist again -

"Calm down a bit." A figure dressed in black came down from somewhere. Alicia saw this figure and called out his name in surprise: "Mr. Ridley."

"Let us take him. You take him back to the village."

"Yes!"

Ridley's call caused other members of the secret team to come down one after another. They led the young man in a trance toward the village.

Ridley kept his eyes on the bushes where the young men escaped, and then said to the five people who stayed behind: "So...what are you going to do?"

"That's obvious. Just leave us alone, okay?" Oliver answered Ridley's question as he headed towards the bushes.

Ridley chuckled, closed his eyes and whispered, "I won't stop you. By the way, there is no smell of any monsters there. Your actions should not be disturbed in any way."

Hearing this, Oliver stopped and smiled softly: "Ah, thank you for the information."

Then he walked into the bushes again. Jill and Alicia followed, thanked Ridley and continued on their way. Courtney and Cece also nodded silently and followed the three.

Just as Ridley said, there was no smell of monsters there. The smell coming from the depths was very oppressive, so the monsters naturally stayed away from there.

Even though Oliver had no magic power, he couldn't help but groan, but he would never stop. His expression showed that he would not retreat even if he had to rely on his will.

(Just wait, Russell. I'll wake you up!)

Step by step, Oliver called out in his heart and moved forward with full strength.

--------------

He could no longer tell whether he was alive or dead.

“Gu…”

This is probably what hell is like, the adventurer thought.

They met each other in a small square in a dark forest. Facing Russell who was completely swallowed by the darkness, he rushed forward without thinking, and was forced to the brink of total destruction.

They barely managed to let one person escape. Of the remaining four, the one who was barely standing didn't know how long he could hold on.

Russell sat on a stump, looking up at them with a strange smile on his face, and the sight made him utter a sound of fear deep in his throat.

At the same time, the sword in his hand began to tremble, and he felt it unconsciously, and it would fall if he wasn't careful. Only the clattering sound echoed in the square, and even the sound of the wind could not be heard.

It was just a few seconds, but it felt like an eternity. No wonder, since they might die in a few seconds.

"Why... not coming?" Russell asked with a smile, without expectation or disappointment. He was really just asking.

This made the adventurer tremble. Just asking, but it made him even more frightened. Why did he draw his sword? At this moment, he cursed his own stupidity.

There was no way to win by doing this. It was just shortening his life in vain. This feeling made his hands tremble even more. On the other hand, because there was no sign of attack at all, Russell sighed: "...boring"

He just whispered, narrowed his eyes, and squinted at the man. "I was a bit stupid to expect it. You guys are not even a challenge compared to some slimes or elves."

Russell stood up as he spoke, and raised his head unsteadily. His expression, which was neither angry nor surprised, further aroused the man's fear.

At that moment, the trembling of the sword in his hand suddenly stopped. The man was stunned, his mind was blank, and he couldn't think of anything. He could only watch the dark magic gather quickly.

"Forget it... disappear."

As he said this, Russell put the gathered magic power in his right hand, ready to throw it out. The man's body became even stiffer. He felt his vision gradually turn white.

However, at that moment——

“Ahhhhhh——!!”

A deep shout was heard and a figure jumped out from the bushes.

Russell hesitated for a moment and barely dodged the incoming fist, which distracted him and dissipated his concentrated magic power.

"Ha ha……"

The figure, Oliver, gasped and glared at Russell. Then Alicia and the others emerged from the bushes.

Even the experienced Russell couldn't hide his surprise and stared at Oliver blankly, but soon he returned to his weird smile.

"Hey, long time no see, Oliver." He greeted lightly, without any special emotion, as if he was just meeting an acquaintance.

A few seconds passed, the two looked at each other in silence, and finally Oliver spoke: "Hey!"

Oliver turned his gaze to the adventurer standing aside and said, "Leave this place to us."

After hearing this, the man didn't understand what Oliver was talking about at first. But he soon understood what he meant, and his body shook violently as he shouted, "You, you guys want to take over...?"

"Yes. Any objections?" The man shook his head hurriedly at Oliver's words.

Just as he was trying to escape in panic, he tripped, fell heavily, and then fainted.

Russell couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw his expression. Then, several figures in black landed and began to pick up him and other fallen adventurers one by one.

This was because the secret team in the village had been monitoring Oliver and his group's actions and had insisted on not interfering. Oliver thanked the secret team members in his heart, and then looked at Russell again.
