A New Life In Another World: Volume 2

Chapter 49: Nightly Activities

It's been a couple of weeks since my meeting with Lilith. Since then, the others and I visit her and her parents from time to time. We usually talk and play with Lilith, but every now and then, I would help them hunt for game and also assist with any manual labor.

Thanks to my body being stronger, most of the labor was easy enough for me to do. Carrying and chopping logs, and food harvesting, none of it was all that difficult for me.

I also gathered a lot of information about the Amarian Kingdom from Ethan. Nothing too confidential, but I did learn more about the Seven Heavenly Cardinals.

I heard about them before, but I never really got a lot of information about them due to how isolated the country was. With the Kingdom not making any trades or even opening themselves up to the other countries, getting any information was impossible unless you had spies to gather it.

After hearing about those Seven Heavenly Cardinals, I learned something quite interesting. Apparently, Uriel Dove was one of the members.

Uriel Dove was a Child of Amaris, who I met during my sort of reveal to the country of my existence. Our first meeting wasn't all that pleasant considering that he thought I was nothing more than some villain that needed to be slain.

He even threatened my family, so I was really pissed at him for that. Despite that, I do know that he's formidable. I've never fought him before, but I know that he could very well take me down.

I could see the years of experience in his eyes when I first saw them. If I fought him back when I wasn't trained by Zemmi, I might've been killed. Well, Amy would've put a stop to that, and Kenos as well.

I wonder what would happen if I fought him as I am now. Would I win? Or would I face utter defeat?

Considering my skills and experience, I can definitely beat him with my vast amount of skills, but my experience is still lacking. My fight with Drake was proof of that.

Despite being rigorously trained by that damn drill sergeant, Drake was able to match up with me and nearly got me overwhelmed. If it weren't for my skills, I'd be toast.

Looks like I need more battle experience. When going up against people who faced many battles, they know their way around a fight. Some overwhelm you with brute force and some useful tricks. Regardless, the result is the same.

I need more experience in order to get stronger. And I do mean that in battle experience and experience for my level and stats to rise.

...Sadly, my current opponents weren't all that challenging for me.

"H-he's here!"

"Run for it!"

"Alastor is here!"

The bandits yelled this while running away from me. Instead of picking a fight with me for stepping into their territory, they're running away like babies.

"Good grief..." I sighed as I rushed around the warehouse to deal with the bandits.

I was currently going as my persona Alastor the Phantom. I was wearing a pale white mask, a worn our cloak covering my body, and some leather armor underneath it. I didn't want people to think Alastor was Damien Crow, so I didn't bring Thana or wear my traditional fur coat.

Once I donned my Alastor outfit, I went out to take down some bandit bases. It was in the dead of night, which was the perfect opportunity to go on a bandit hunt.

My current location was a warehouse base that belonged to a Crime Boss called Driscoll Hook. According to the information I got from the Guild Master, Driscoll was pretty well known. He wasn't Aarc well known, but he seems to be the guy that you would go to if you wanted weapons.
