The Secret and most Powerful True Dragon

Chapter 9: The consequences

Hunter POV:

I recently obtained my adventurer identification from the guild, and ever since then, I've been receiving numerous job requests that have been relatively easy for me to handle. Perhaps I'm just exceptionally skilled at what I do. Currently, I'm on my way to a place called the Dwarven Kingdom to deliver a substantial amount of supplies to the guild there. The cargo I'm carrying is quite hefty, as it consists of various provisions for the guild members. Due to my track record of successful missions, many people have been eager to hire me, but I've been selective, turning down protection jobs and other tasks that didn't interest me. Surprisingly, I've managed to accumulate a substantial amount of money and blood echoes from my previous jobs, enabling me to enhance my stats significantly by five points. I've heard rumors about multiple countries and kingdoms launching investigations in the Jura Forests due to a significant event that occurred there. It seems that I may find myself heading there soon to uncover more about the reason behind my presence in this world. However, for now, I need to stay focused on the task at hand.

Along my journey, I've encountered various adversaries such as robbers, creatures, and other obstacles, but I've swiftly dealt with them all to ensure the safety of the supplies I'm transporting. I've come across numerous lanterns during my travels, strategically placed in cities, towns, and villages, allowing me to teleport effortlessly wherever I desire-except in cases where a lantern has been destroyed, rendering it unusable.

Gehrman and the doll, my companions from Yharnam, are delighted to find themselves in a new location where they are surrounded by ordinary people rather than menacing monsters. They've managed to gather a wealth of information about this world from undisclosed sources. During my journey, I travel during the day and rest at night, ensuring the security of the supplies I'm carrying. It has been a few days since I embarked on this mission, and I'm now nearing the Dwarven Kingdom, with just a little more distance to cover. If all goes according to plan, I should arrive in the afternoon. I already have an idea of where I'll be heading next, and after completing these tasks, I might join the search in the Jura Forests. I can't help but wonder what awaits me there. As the afternoon approaches, I can finally see the gates of the Dwarven Kingdom, signaling the successful completion of my journey.

Having finally arrived at the bustling Dwarven Kingdom, I found myself confronted with a seemingly endless line of people waiting to enter. Knowing that time was of the essence, I decided to utilize a teleportation spell that I had acquired thanks to Gehrman's guidance. In an instant, I disappeared from the line and reappeared inside the kingdom. It may have been a random location, but I was determined not to waste any more time.

Now, my main objective was to locate the guild and deliver the supplies I had brought from the other guild. Following the directions I had been given, I traversed through the lively streets of the kingdom, navigating my way to my destination. It took some time and a few inquiries, but eventually, I spotted the guild building. Stepping off the carriage, I made my way inside.

The guild's interior was abuzz with activity, with people engaged in conversations and vendors showcasing their wares. I made my way to the receptionist, who greeted me with a smile. I handed over the supplies they had requested, and they expressed their gratitude for my timely delivery. Satisfied with a job well done, I bid them farewell and continued on my journey, eager to explore more of the Dwarven Kingdom and perhaps seek new opportunities for adventure.

Rimuru POV:

As I prepared myself for the upcoming encounter with the Demon Lord Luminous, knowing that an attack was imminent, I focused on maintaining a non-lethal approach. I didn't want this to turn into a bloodbath, so I aimed to incapacitate the attackers rather than causing permanent harm. I hoped that my scouts shared the same perspective, as I wished to minimize casualties on both sides.
