Travel to another world and become a monster messenger

"What exactly are we...what exactly are we here for..." Oliver trembled, tears in his eyes, and slammed his fist on the ground.

The power gap between Russell and them was obvious. He was no match from the beginning.

If you think about it, this isn't surprising. Russell has been working hard, working hard, and that's what makes him a top candidate. And who could have witnessed all of this more closely than himself?

Oliver felt stupid at the thought. He felt himself awakened. Then he finally realized why he was safe and sound.

This is a no-brainer. It's not because they were once partners in action, or anything like that. They themselves are not worth mentioning. This is just Russell's judgment.

Even Oliver, who had undergone special training with him and became stronger, was just a powerless existence in his eyes. Oliver re-recognized himself and exploded with his own stupidity and regret.

“Damn it…Damn it!!”

Oliver's shouts echoed in the forest, while Alicia and the others stood motionless in the dark square, feeling lost.

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

"I see... Alicia and the others were dealt with very well."

After listening to Ridley's report in the office, Sergio nodded as if he understood something.

"Well, I expected this to happen. Although Russell is tainted with darkness, his strength is real. If we can win by acting on impulse and making expedients, it won't be that troublesome."

Sergio smiled bitterly, and at this time Ridley asked another question: "Excuse me, Elder. Isn't the guardian spirit tamed by the monster user boy also a stopgap measure?"

"Well, that makes some sense."

Sergio closed his eyes and nodded, then continued, "But there are also big differences. Xu Zhen and the others' situation is not a simple patchwork. Speaking of it alone, I am actually looking forward to whether they will do something again."

“…I see.” Ridley was also infected by Sergio’s youthful smile and smiled bitterly: “Then I’ll take my leave and go back to my mission.”

"Please." Sergio said simply, and Ridley disappeared in an instant as usual. Sergio also left the office.

He walked in the quiet corridor and first went to Xu Zhen's room. He gently opened the door and saw Xu Zhen and the monsters sleeping soundly. The way they snuggled up together in bed made Sergio smile.

Then he closed the door softly and went to Dorothy. He told her to take good care of Xu Zhen and the others and then walked out of the house.

Waiting for him outside was a young man. His dark blue robe fluttered in the light of the bonfire. Sergio smiled and said to him, "Sorry to have kept you waiting, Jacklen. It's time for us to leave."

"Yes. We have a clue about where that man...Lesak is. Let's hurry."

Then, Sergio and Jacklen walked in different directions from where they fought the adventurers.

(As an elder, I cannot let this commotion drag on for too long. I have to resolve this issue!)

Sergio made up his mind as he took firm steps.

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

“Hey! Is everything okay?!”

A man's voice came from a distance. Courtney turned around and saw a young man with red hair and adventurer rushing over.

Sisi was surprised to see the young man.

"Mr. Greg?"

"Oh, isn't it little Cecilia?"

The young man whom Ceci called Greg also showed surprise. Courtney watched their conversation and whispered to Ceci:

“Someone you know?”

"He helped me with magic training before."

"Ah, I see," Courtney concluded, expressing her understanding.

"I came here at the words of Mr. Ridley. It looks like everyone is safe..." Greg looked around, then saw Oliver lowering his head, his expression became serious.

"It seems... it's not without problems." Greg exhaled softly, "Because we don't know when this place will be filled with monsters again. I think it's best for you to go back to the village first?"

Greg looked around to confirm, and Oliver turned around hurriedly: “But…we haven’t found that guy yet…”

“Russell?”

Hearing this, Greg stared at Oliver sternly. His eyes were like arrows, and Oliver couldn't help holding his breath.

The tension in the surroundings was rising, and Greg continued, "I know the situation roughly. There's probably nothing we can do, right? You look so panicked, and the result will be the same even if you challenge again. Besides, it's still a question whether the other party will accept the challenge next time."

Oliver and the other members were unable to refute. It was confirmed once again that they could do nothing. At this time, Cece's unconsciously clenched fists clenched tightly.

"…It's a shame. Despite all the hard work, I didn't get any results."

"Don't be too frustrated. The opponent is too strong. I don't mean to say bad things, but let's retreat first..."

Just as Greg was trying to comfort Cece and persuade her to return to the village, it suddenly happened: "Gulululululu--!!"

A ferocious wolf that was a size larger than usual suddenly jumped out from the dense bushes. Just as Greg, Courtney and the others were on guard—

“It’s so noisy!”

In an instant, Ceci leaped forward and released a fire magic. Although its size was not too large, its power and speed seemed much stronger than usual.

Thanks to this blow, the ferocious wolf immediately stopped moving, and then fled into the depths of the bushes in fear. After adjusting her breathing, Cece finally noticed that everyone around her was looking at her with surprised expressions.

"Oh! Um... I'm sorry, I was a little... abrupt."

Cece, who was blushing and stiff, was amused by Greg's smile: "No, no, that's amazing. It seems... young girls nowadays can perhaps work harder."

"Eh? What does that mean?" Ceci asked. Greg coughed and said, "Actually, I'm also good at fire magic, and I've always wanted to work with another fire messenger. Some time ago, several of my partners fell down due to injuries. I've been looking for the right person."

"Ah, could it be that the person who came to the training ground yesterday was..."

"That's why. Then, little girl, I discovered you. You seemed to have potential, so I trained with you. It seems my vision was not wrong."
