Chapter 2: Damn, you’re covered in rust.

Having been kicked out of the party and left alone, I was on my way to a small village called Yang, surrounded by the sea and mountains.

Although it has a population of only a few hundred, it is also used as a stopping point for travelers, so it doesn’t have a closed atmosphere. It is a place where all villagers welcome travelers and are also supportive of migrants.

I bought some preserved food and walked down the street.

I wondered if I would regret being so lonely when I was alone. I wondered if I would regret being so lonely, but I did not. Rather, a weight was lifted and I felt refreshed.

I continued along the busy street and spent the night at an inn town, then continued on. By this time, the road was getting narrower and the number of people passing by was sparse.

If we can just get through this forest, we can make it to Yang.

As I walked, I took a bite of dried meat and walked inside.

At that moment, a hostile stare pierced me.

Are there demons in this forest? This was not the case when I visited a few years ago. It had been an ordinary, peaceful forest.

Had there been a change in the environment? Maybe there’s a dungeon in there.

I was unarmed, so I couldn’t hold a weapon, but it wouldn’t be a problem.

I can’t hold a weapon because I’m unarmed, but that’s not a problem. I’ve played the role of a scout in my previous party, so I have a little confidence in my ability to detect signs.

As I moved forward cautiously, trying not to be taken by surprise, my gaze moved forward at the same time.

If I let this one go, I’m sure other travelers will be attacked, so I’ll just kill it here, even if it’s a hassle.

I sat down on a stump that came into view and dared to make an opening. As I took out my water bag to replenish my fluids, I heard the rustling of grass and three goblins appeared. They were armed with clubs, swords, and spears, and their eyes were filled with hatred.

I don’t know why demons hate people.

For me, the fact that they are my enemy is enough.

I put my hand out in front of me and kneaded the magic power in my body.

“Energy Bolt”.

Dozens of arrows floated around me and shot towards the goblin.

It is not possible for them to evade them, as they were caught off guard thinking they were untouchable. When they were covered in holes, they let out a filthy scream and died.

My profession is a Magic Swordsman.

I can use both swords and magic. At best, I’m an all-around adventurer. Even without a weapon, there are many ways to fight. The reason why I handed over my armor to Licht without complaining is because I don’t have to worry about it.

Now, the goblin’s sword is …… Damn, it’s all rusty.

It’s useless. It’s not even for sale.

The corpses would be used as food for the animals in the forest, so I decided to move on without disposing of them.

After that, I was attacked by demons several times, but I was able to fight them off with magic and proceeded smoothly.

When I finally exited the forest at sunset, I could see the village below us.

I was relieved in my heart to see that it had not changed. That comfortable place was still there.
