79. ADVENTURER'S FIRST ESCORT MISSION (2)

After Klaus finished first 3 requests, he moved towards the last subjugation quest ,

'Leather of Water lizard, the monster's name sounds quite weak for it to be B rank quest, why is it's name so weak'

Thinking these idiotic things Klaus ran towards his target, after running for some minutes Klaus finally reached his target, but what came in front of him doesn't looked like lizard from any angle

'Since when did alligators became a lizard, however I see this it's 20 Meters long alligator not too mention the water floating in air' Klaus clenched his halberd and came in front of him

"Here you lizard!!! Die right here" Klaus shouted at the alligator, water lizard had dark blue scales covering his whole body and half of body inside the lake, as Klaus shouted, he turned his body towards Klaus and showed his big teeths and launched many water spears towards Klaus,

'Reptiles react from vibration of ground so attacking them with surprised is close to impossible for me right now! I don't want to use high tier spells to attract attention of high tier adventures, this is only option' Klaus moved his body left and right and dodged all the water spears and also moved forward with his weapon,

As Klaus was about to reach the alligator, suddenly the alligator attacked Klaus with his tails, because of unexpected movement Klaus was caught off-guard but he reacted quickly and blocked the attack with his halberd but he was still pushed back quite far and fell on the tree behind him, Klaus quickly composed himself

' A peak Tier 7 monster this should be quest of S rank adventures, what the hell is going on, it's no use restraining myself now, I have to finish it quickly in order to not attract too much attention', with that Klaus's disappeared from his place, the alligator got confused but next moment Klaus shouted

"Here ya ugly lizard!!!"

Alligator got enraged and looked upward and saw Klaus launching a halberd towards his back, he moved quickly but wasn't able to dodge the halberd completely,

Halberd got struck to his lower body parts, behind his legs, Klaus seeing this grinned and shouted "Caught you lizard!!!"

Klaus was still in air and took out a huge giant axe and tried to attack the alligator but next move was completely unexpected,

Alligator detached his tail from his body and completely avoided Klaus's attack, 'Is this why it is called lizard!? only lizard can detach their tails and regrow it! but this is so gross!!?!'

Klaus retreated few steps back and his halberd flew back to Klaus, Klaus threw the halberd back to alligator, it barely avoided and looked happy and grinned towards Klaus but next moment his head was detached from his body as giant axe has opened his head cleanly, in last moment he saw Klaus with horrified gazes,

Klaus grinned and stored it's body in his pouch and said "Never let others know your next move! ...but I think I should learn more about the monsters, about their weak points and special abilities"

After this Klaus returned to adventures guild and submitted his quest materials, Sonia took them and said "Ah! You came at right time, the merchant who requested for escort job has arrived, there are some other peoples who have accepted the quest, you can meet then there!"

'A group quest? the request is to protect merchant and it's goods, so one B rank adventurer can't do this smoothly, so it's indeed reasonable'

"ok! I will do that!" Klaus said that and left, he went towards the merchant Sonia talked about, after he arrived there he saw 5 carts, full of goods and a small carriage used for transportation standing there, along with a fat smiling man with cute moustache and chubby face and 4 another adventures,

' One mage, two Swordsman and one healer' Klaus went towards the merchant and said "I'm Klaus! I accepted the escort job! I'm sorry if I kept you waiting!"

The merchant looked towards Klaus and said " No no! You just came in time! We also just arrived here! Now that everyone is here, let's start the journey!"

The two Swordsman sat at cart closest to the merchant's carriage, the mage and healer were both girls and they sat at second carriage and Klaus sat at last cart on backside leaning on sides, with big daggers on sides of back and a giant bow in his hands,

The journey continued for 3 hours peacefully and the sun was about set, nothing came in the way of their journey no monster or any thug,

"Ok guys! We are camping here! The journey at night time is dangerous, let's rest here!" the merchant shouted and all carts stopped there, and everyone installed there tents on open area near the forest, Klaus still hasn't made his tent and just as he was about to do that the healer girl came in front of him and said " Do you want to eat something, we have extra here!"

She pointed towards the mage behind her with some dry fruits, Klaus looked at healer and said "Don't worry I have some with me!" and started installing his tent,

Healer seeing this didn't interrupted and said "When you are done you can join us there!"

Klaus nodded and finished what he was doing and then moved towards the adventurers and merchant and his staff. They were sitting as a group in circular formation, Klaus arrived there and sat there,

Suddenly a middle-aged Swordsman with short brown hairs and beards and moustache said " You finally came! My name is Raul! I'm leader of B rank party Steel heart! We accepted this quest together here!"

Klaus nodded and said "I'm Klaus, B rank adventurer, I'm solo adventurer!"

Hearing Klaus's word everyone got shocked and suddenly the second Swordsman who looked young with steel armour said "Wait! You are solo adventurer and B rank at that?"

Klaus nodded, but the mage knocked the Swordsman with her wand and shouted "That was so rude Allen! You shouldn't shout at others like that!"

The Swordsman rubbed back of his head and started arguing with the mage and healer tried to stop them,

Solo adventures are very rare, they are either very strong or very weak, adventures with party are easily able to raise their ranks and take higher level quests but solo adventures don't usually take quest in party and work alone, and their strength is always above the street of others with same rank

The place turned lively after that and they introduced each other and talked about their lives with each other, the merchant also joined the group, but after an hour just as the day ended the bushes near the camp moved,

All the adventures got up from their seats and without saying anything got in their positions, the merchant and his staff stood behind them, Klaus has also took out the arrows, then suddenly a group of wolves came came out from the bushes, there were about 20 of them, all black and one of them had an white arc on his head,

" It's night wolves! As a group they are A rank monsters, get ready everyone! " The leader of adventures shouted at his party, suddenly a wolf attacked him but next moment the wolf was cutted in half, the mage also launched her spells while healer was buffing her party both Swordsman and mage launched their attacks,

Suddenly a wolf rushed towards the merchant, the merchant covered his face but next moment the lifeless body of wolf fell on ground with arrow on his head,

Merchant looked at Klaus with surprised face but next second Klaus launched another 3 arrows killing other wolves, like that the party of adventures killed about 10 wolves and Klaus killed 13 wolves alone,

After the battle ended everyone sat on ground tierd and Klaus collected the bodies of the wolves who died by the arrows, seeing Klaus's ability everyone was stunned,

'With a whole party we were only able to kill 10 wolves and he hunted 13 wolves alone, is this really ability of B rank adventurer, at least his current abilities are A rank!' the younger Swordsman looked Klaus with confused look,

The healer healed everyone who was injured and went to Klaus "Are you also injured?" Klaus glanced at her and said "No need to worry! I'm not even scratched"

She blushed a little when she was near Klaus and returned to her party and like that the night ended and they returned to their tents, everyone took turns watching the dangers at night,

Next day the journey continued, some monsters came from time to time but they were weak and didn't caused any trouble, the merchant arrived at a huge City about 80 km away from the Capital and paid the quest money,

And everyone parted ways, it turned out the adventurers party was going to another city so they said there farewell and Klaus returned to Capital.
