An Extra’s POV

"W-who…?"

"H-how…?"

"T-this is…!"

A mixture of confusion and relief could be seen on the faces of every guard as they looked at the two unconscious teenagers on the floor.

Their disheveled hair and unkempt attires didn't remove an iota from their identity.

These were the Otherworlders!

The Head Guard, who was just in as much shock and awe as his subordinates knew he had to pull himself together.

Their actions were not befitting of the guards of the esteemed Royal Estate!

"I-If I may ask, Sir…" The Head Guard shifted his gaze from the two saviors of the world, and placed it on the dark-cloaked man who brought them.

He was dressed like the night itself—with a pitch-black hooded cloak, an obsidian mask that had a skull-like design, and his inner attires also echoing nothing but darkness.

He seemed like a shady man, but what kind of shady individual would do something like this?

"… Please, who are you?"

As the Head Guard said this, he gulped.

He was a great fighter, and he had been trained by the Head Warrior Brutus himself, but even he wasn't too confident about fighting the man before him.

Something about his vibe exuded strength, and an aura of darkness seemed to shroud his mysterious persona.

The Head Knight felt it was just his imagination, but he could also smell the stench of blood on him.

This had to be a testament of his power.

Still, despite the sheer tension that the masked man caused around him, his deep voice was calm and soothing.

"My name is Ralyks. I am an Adventurer, and I just happened to be in the Capital."

His words were simple, but they were so vague that no one present knew what to make of them.

Fortunately, he elaborated.

"A certain boy requested my assistance for this mission. He told me all he had was a single Gold Coin, and that if I wanted more, I should complete the mission and come to the Royal Estate for a bigger reward."
