Chapter 366
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
The look on Rozenâs face changed as he shifted back his attention to the man behind Asuna. Asuna herself also turned back.
âKuradeel, whatâs that supposed to mean?â
Asuna asked the man named Kuradeel with a frown.
âDid you forget? Youâre the vice-leader of the glorious Knights of the Blood, and there are so many ruffians targeting you out there. Thatâs why the commander assigned me as your guard.â
The escort named Kuradeel then answered as if it was for Asunaâs sake.
When Rozen heard those words, he somewhat understood.
(Something mustâve happened to Asuna.)
Although Kuradeelâs words were quite harsh, it was the truth.
There were more than a few people out there who harbored ill intent toward Asuna, and presumably, Asuna mustâve encountered someone of similar nature. Because of that, Knights of the Blood decided to assign an escort for her.
However, even though Kuradeelâs reasoning just now was appropriate, his first statement wasnât, and it was for a very simple reason.
âYou know who this guy is, right?â Asuna looked straight at Kuradeel and added:
âheâs Red Wingsâ leader and the Clearerâs commander. Are you saying heâs one of those ruffians youâre talking about?â
Even though there were many people out there who harbored ill-intent toward Asuna, but Rozen couldnât be one.
The problem was that Kuradeel considered Rozen as one of the ruffians he talked about, thus preventing Asuna from going with Rozen without realizing it.
âExactly, you made such a rash decision because you know him.â Kuradeel then stared at Rozen maliciously and said:
âwho knows what Red Wings will do to you?â
From those words, it was clear that Kuradeel implied that Red Wings simply couldnât be trusted.
Kuradeel believed that Asuna shouldnât carelessly enter the enemyâs base simply because he thought Red Wings and Knights of the Blood were competing for the title of the strongest guild.
âBesides, Red Wingsâ members are all self-centered beta testers who only care about themselves. You have to be careful, Asuna-sama.â
Kuradeel said bluntly. At this point, he seemed desperate to just find faults within Red Wings.
Indeed, beta testers used to be labeled as selfish by normal players, and they were shunned because of that.
However, after two years of fighting actively in the front line, the rest of the Players realized that beta testers would do everything they could to clear the game, and thus the discrimination has long gone.
And yet Kuradeel suddenly brought up such an old story. It was clear that he was simply finding faults within Red Wings.
Asunaâs brows wrinkled, but before she could say anythingâŠ
âKuradeel, isnât it?â
Rozen beat Asuna to it.
âDid you join Knights of the Blood only recently?â
This sudden question surprised Asuna changed the look on Kuradeelâs face.
âYeah, so what?â Kuradeel answered wryly.
In response, Rozen smiled.
âNah, itâs just weird, thatâs all.â Rozen said without looking at Kuradeel as if he was talking to himself: âIf youâre indeed Knights of the Bloodâs members, itâs just weird if you recognized me only after you saw my Tamed Monsters and sword.â
Knight of the Bloodâs members obviously would participate in any Boss Raid, which was led by Rozen.
So, it was impossible for them not to recognize Rozen at first glance, yet Kuradeel only recognized Rozen after seeing his Tamed Monsters and sword, which was enough to narrow it down to a few possibilities.
âEither youâre not strong enough to attend the Raid Boss and simply assigned as an escort by your guild, or you just joined the guild recently.â
Rozen said casually.
âYouâŠ!?â
Kuradeel lost it when he heard Rozen ridiculed him.
HoweverâŠ
âSince you have just joined Knights of the Blood recently, let me give you a piece of advice as to the Clearersâ commander.â
Rozen was already right in front of Kuradeel before he could react.
âWhatâŠ!?â
Kuradeel subconsciously took a step back, but Rozen yanked his cape, preventing him from getting away.
âIâd do my best not to offend me if I were you.â
Rozen smiled at Kuradeel right in front of his face, but it was nothing like a gentle smile heâd show to greet someone.
âIf you do, I may have to take extreme measures, for example, using you as cannon fodderâŠâ
Rozen said while still smiling.
That was when Kuradeel turned pale and silent.
Rozen let go of Kuradeelâs cape and dusted his hands as if he just touched something dirty, and said to AsunaâŠ
âDo me a favour and ask your guild leader to replace your escort, this oneâs no good.â
Rozen then turned around and left right after.
Asuna saw Kuradeel, who was completely white and said coldly.
âKuradeel, return to the headquarter by yourself for today; Iâll explain what happened today to the commander myself.â
Asuna then followed Rozen.
Kuradeel was trying to follow Asuna when suddenlyâŠ
âGoo!â
âWoo!â
Saichou and Hanachou stopped Kuradeel in his track, discharging glittering powder as a warning.
âBastardâŠ!â
Kuradeel could only curse Rozen while shaking
âAnyone else but that guyâŠ!â
Kuradeel murmured with a loathsome tone.
âDonât think this is the end of it!â
Kuradeel said threateningly before he also left.
