The Exiled First-born of the Noble House. Rising to the Top With the Worthless Skill [Null Poison]

even imagine the possibility of the [Silver Winged Lion] losing.

If I hadn’t seen Alyazi-san’s state myself, perhaps I wouldn’t have believed it either.

“Why did he come all the way for just that!? Ah well, I would have liked to meet him again at least! Could have come in the morning!”

“He must have been in a hurry to warn us I imagine.
He’s a kind man after all.”

“………..I’m sorry to inform you but things did not go as you are imagining it.
The [Silver Winged Lion] lost to that man.
The remaining party members sacrificed themselves to let Alyazi-san run away just so he could report that to me.
And——after passing that info to me, he too, breathed his last.”

When I told the everything, Ralf just looked stunned as his mouth flapped open and shut but no words came out.

Esta covered her mouth with her hands, also shocked beyond belief.

“Y-you’re lying, right? I mean, we just trained with them a couple days ago!?! They were so strong yet they died…….? Chris!! If this is a joke, it ain’t funny!!”

“This is not a lie.
This is reality.”

“Are we certain that they all perished? Is there any chance that at least some of them survived…….there is right!?”

“From what Alyazi-san told me, Joyce was confirmed to be dead.
Leon and Janet bought time for Alyazi-san to escape so their status isn’t confirmed but……….from what I have heard of the killer’s strength, it’s more than likely that they didn’t live.”

“Wha-what the hell………that’s insane! How could a Mithril rank party, so easily lose……..there’s no way that’s possible!!”

Ralf slammed the table, and the dishes on table all shivered from the impact.

As the cutlery shook noisily, I waited until it settled down before I began talking again.

“I was being naïve as well.
It’s just one guy, one pursuer, it’ll be fine……..but I forgot that the pursuer is someone skilled enough that the next hero candidate chose him for this job.
At the very least, it’d be someone at the same level as a diamond class adventurer.”

“………..th-there’s no way we’d be able to face so-someone like that.”

“Yes.
That’s why we will run.
That’s the reason why I have called you both here in the first place.”

“Chris!!——are you not mad!!? Getting attacked one-sidedly like this! Constantly being made to move from place to place!! Just running, running, constantly………and now we’ve even lost people we cared for…..!!!”

“—–OF COURSE I’M MAD!! …….I was driven out of my own home, I never stopped being mad ever since I almost died to Klaus!! If I could, I would go to that man and brutally murder him right now but, the reality is that we can’t! So I’ll hold on to this rage——-I’ll let it simmer until the day I can get my revenge.
And I’ll do it no matter the cost.”

Emotionally overwhelmed, Ralf could simply grit his teeth and stare at the ground.

If you let your anger control your actions, it’s unlikely you’ll ever make the right decisions.

It is in times like this that we must be calm, and silently build up strength.

To avenge the members of the [Silver Winged Lion] as well.
