Evan D. Sherden, Cant Enjoy the Festival (4)

Evan repeatedly looked at the blue liquid in the bottle in front of him. It was a product that he had already reviewed several times, and even an experiment had been completed perfectly, but it was still unrealistic to him.

When he was the main character in the game, he could have checked the information and the items description just by looking at it, which would have been very convenient. Only if he could do it now too, he wouldnt need to be nervous until the end.

Oh, but actually Grandpa Leo, the main character of Yo-Ma Great War 2, didnt have that ability. So, is the main character born with that ability? After all, the ability to cheat was one of the exclusive properties of the game

Did you say something Young Master?

Its nothing, Knight Commander.

Evan shut his mouth.

Then he handed the Knights Commander an inventory pocket filled with hundreds of bottles of anti-infection drugs that would prevent the Mahwa from possessing other monsters.

And he also handed him a device that resembled a spray gun. Several of them were made as spares and which could be kept in pockets.

You just have to put this bottle here, press this and spray it all over the place. Tell the other knights please. Our dungeon citys future depends on it.

Yes, Master!

The faster you move, the better. I believe that if you spray it once, it will spread deep into the dungeon. In case that doesnt happen, I want you to go as deep as possible.

Please leave it to me, Master. I know that you have been struggling with its development while losing countless hours of sleep at night. We wont let that devotion go to waste.

I can do that too, and well.

As the Knights Commander accepted the inventory pocket and bowed, Shine mumbled from the side.

Evan reflected at his words. When the drug was being developed, he wanted to tell them everything back then, but he already knew that none of them could even go into the dungeon and covet the role of spraying drugs, no matter how much they liked to hunt monsters

Wouldnt it be quicker for people who have already attacked the dungeon once to go in and spread it? I know whats in your heart, but this time its not our turn.

So when will it be our turn? How long do we just have to watch while the Master suffers?

After five and a half years, I will become a mature man and create the Dungeon Knights Squad. And when two years pass again after that, I will get even more busy.

Huh?

Surprisingly, Evan had given him an extremely specific point of view.

Isnt this the first time he has told me the exact timing of the events in the future? Evan smiled internally, as Shine made a stupid expression.

By that time, youll be so busy, youll be saying you miss these times. You guys will be the heroes of the next generation, so, do your best now. And uh, dont curse me later.

Is that true?

Of course, it is.

Evan was struggling now. In the first place, he had never thought that he would be in the spotlight when the main story of Yo-Ma Great War 3 would appear eight years later. No, his abilities werent great enough to do something worthwhile in the first place!

He would sit in a safe place and watch the main story of Yo-Ma Great War 3 unfold as he occasionally popped slimes.

The hardships would allow the hero to improve while he did all the hard work, and sometimes Evan would clear the path for him without him even knowing, and leave the rest of the work to Shine and Belois, who would have grown stronger by then. He could surely make them grow, at least!

So, are these grandpas the leaders of the current generation?

Yes, they are. In fact, they are like the twilight of the entire generation.

Originally, the Mahwa were an ancient curse that should have been exterminated more than a few decades ago.

But they were left to rot instead.

Because the protagonists of the new series hadnt grown properly yet

Evan thought so and recalled the faces of the heroes who confronted the Queen of the Mahwa tribe.

You are the dawn of the new generation, Master. You dont have to prove it to anyone.

The dawn of a new generation? Me?

The Knights Commander nodded as if there was no need for anything more. Evan was disgusted.

No, Im not going to play the lead role. I cant do that because Im a natural extra. So, dont expect me to, Knights Commander.

Haha! You are still witty. What kind of generation can you say you want be in? Is it something you can avoid by saying you dont like it?

He carefully held the inventory pockets Evan handed him in his arms, and then laughed again.

You just need to say it as it is. The day will come when you will naturally realize it.

No, youre definitely mistaken right now

However, despite his excuse, the Knights Commander turned around with a cool smile.

He was about to leave to go to the dungeon with the other knights.

I will definitely come back after completing my mission.

Please, be careful.

It was a pity that there was no time now. Later, when the Knights Commander returned from the dungeon, Evan would have to convince him that he was just an extra.

This might be the end anyway.

Evan wanted to confirm that Grandpa Bernard had safely killed the Rose Queen, but he felt so sleepy and tired at the moment.

When he thought he had done all of his work, Evan yawned. While working with Bernard, he couldnt sleep well for days. Struggling to develop drugs, he suffered from extreme fatigue.

You still have to wash and sleep, Master Evan. When you enter and leave the Brotherhood Bathhouse, you will feel refreshed.

Wow, youre annoying Alright, I got it. Ill prepare to go to the bathhouse, so come ready.

Yes Master.

Shine nodded and stepped back as Evan took off his clothes. But before ending the visit, he pulled his head out and told Evan,

Oh, go to bed first, then wake up and come to the festival with me tomorrow. Still, isnt it sad that you couldnt attend the festival for at least a day?

I wanted to hear this from a girl.

We are also looking forward to Lady Arisha and Belois.

Will you take care of Arisha?

Haha! What a nice joke, Master.

It wasnt a joke. Shine closed the door and disappeared. Evan cursed and took off his boots.

In an instant, his stats doubled More precisely, he had returned to his original level, which gave him energy.

Though the increase in status did not release his fatigue.

Well, what should I do then?

The realm of his senses expanded to its original level, and Evan was able to sense the presence of something flying towards him from afar.

He instinctively reached out with one hand. He caught something small, flying fast through the window in his hand. It was a catch perfect enough to draft him straight to major league baseball!

What the hell?

Certainly, it was something alive, but Evan inadvertently held it with his strong grip. It exploded and died instantly.

Ah.

Evan belatedly realized what he had done and exclaimed. Blood flowed from his hand. Of course, it wasnt Evans blood, but the blood of something that had been caught and killed by him.

Oh, it was a lost bird But what was it doing here?

That wasnt the end.

They kept flying through the window!

Evan tilted his head and took advantage of his powers to reach the limit and caught them all. It was a bonus to instinctively squeeze each one of them hard every time he grabbed one!

[Woman, there must have been something with you too!]

At that time, Evan heard a voice from somewhere, and he looked up. His hands were already covered in black blood.

[But the Queens orders are absolute. She ordered the alchemists disciple to be killed, so be sure to kill him right here!]

Oh!

At an overwhelmingly fast pace compared to the other things that flew at him so far, something else shot towards him this time.

It produced such a strong shockwave that the windows shattered, and all the furniture in the room fell over.

Oops.

[Wow!?]

But that wasnt enough to escape Evans hands and ears. Evan flew to its face, grabbed it with a strong grip, confirming its identity.

[This guy, how did he even get me! Hiding this terrible power at such a young age!]

Whats this? A dungeon bat?

Dungeon bats were a class of dungeon monsters that could be seen in almost all types of dungeons. They usually had a blood-sucking ability and considerable combat power unworthy of their small, insignificant appearance, so those who first encountered them would have a hard time.

Moreover, like the other monsters that appeared in the dungeon, it was a monster that could not be underestimated. There was also a super-elite that appeared in a mixture of varieties, enhanced species, evolutionary species, and sometimes all of them There might have even been a mix of variants that knew how to speak.

I wont die easily. Im stronger than this one now I took off my boots for no reason, damn it.

[I will surely kill you even if I lose my life here! By order of the Queen!]

It was a dungeon bat that couldnt be killed with a hardened grip.

Evan was surprised by that fact, but once he thought about it, there was another skill that he could use at any moment.

[Ahhhhhhhhh!]

Oh, oh. It feels like this is quite triggering

That was the only active skill that Evan had gotten from the dungeon. It was the Heavens Press!

When the gods had first given him that skill, Even wondered where he could use it. He thought it might be okay to use it now.

[Ahhhhhhhhh! Her Majesty!]

Does the bat have a Queen?

Am I hallucinating? Evan thought to himself.

It might be that my sense of reality has disappeared a bit as it has become my daily routine to be quite busy; and now I am starting to have conversations with the mythical characters of Yo-Ma Great War 2!

Evan reflected and added more strength to his grip. He didnt know beforehand, but Heaven Press was a really weird skill where dazzling light poured out of his grasp when activated. The effect was great.

Master Evan, let me help you!

Whats this?

Shine rushed in after kicking the door open; he soon noticed the unusual things that had happened and stiffened his expression.

How could this have happened in the short time I was away!?

Still exhausted, Evan only shrugged, adding strength to the hand holding the bat.

I dont know, the dungeon bats just suddenly came inside. So I caught them all and killed them.

Young Master has been attacked! Call the knights right away and find out the well-being of the Marquis and other family members!

Shine immediately decided that Evan was in a very dangerous position and immediately screamed out to others as he hurried to Evan.

But he didnt have to worry about Evan. The bat was soon going to be squished.

[Unbelievable Your Majesty, the most terrible monster is here]

How is it talking!?

Oh, you can hear it too? Then they arent hallucinations Uh, are we dead?

[The monster, the child!]

That was the last of it. The bat blew up and died in the dazzling light of Heavens Press.

Evan felt his whole body full of adrenaline at the moment.

Master Evan, are you really okay!? Did you get bit or anything?

Young master!

Evan!?

Shine groped Evans whole body to confirm his safety.

Evans whole family, including Belois and Arisha, rushed into his room.

Fortunately, it seemed that Evan was the only one who was attacked. Of course, only Evan had a deep relationship with Bernard among the Marquis family!

What happened here?

Evan, are you really okay!?

Only

The windows, along with everything else in the room, had broken. It was messy.

The Marquis, who looked around with a startled expression, rushed to Evan.

However, Evan just laughed lightly, raising both of his bloody hands.

Im really fine. I can catch any number of dungeon bats, father.

The dungeon bat aimed for Evans room by breaking the strict boundaries? Thats the Mahwa, the Mahwa! Its obvious it was the Mahwa tribe who possessed the dungeon bat!

No matter how much my abilities grow, I cant kill a monster possessed by the Mahwa tribe.

Evan laughed again innocently, all the while saying that his father was good at jokes. However, everyone who saw that eerie innocent smile was convinced at that moment.

Even if the Mahwa people themselves came, they would have been slaughtered by Evan!
