Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 294 Intermission part 3

In the middle of the forest near the border between the Reschbeauch Kingdom and the Serbek Kingdom was a panting girl. This girl was Lara(?) surrounding her where numerous dead monsters, destroyed trees, and craters on the ground.

\'This body is finally nearing the doorway to becoming decent enough for me to grant my current self all of my memories. Still, fighting these monsters won\'t cut it anymore. My current self also needs more experience fighting actual people with equal skills to hers. Let\'s see... I guess I\'ll head to the nearest town and see if there are some adventurers that are skilled enough to practice on or maybe there\'s a quest I could take that could allow me to fight human opponents.\'

...

After thinking about what to do next, Lara(?) stored all the monsters she had killed into a subspace and left the forest. The speed in which she moved made her look like a blur. She was simply walking but it looked like she was dashing at an unbelievable pace. The truth was she was shrinking the distance of the land moving instantaneously to one point to another, it was similar to teleportation.

It took Lara(?) only a few seconds before she reached the nearby town that was located a bit farther away from the borders between the two warring kingdoms. As she entered the town Lara(?) changed her expression into the normal Lara\'s stoic expression.

Upon entering the town Lara\'s ice-cold look and her beautiful face and body attracted a lot of attention. Yet when they saw her gauntlets as well as the blood on her clothes, the onlookers stopped looking. In their place, the guards were the ones who were now taking notice if Lara(?), and they approached the dangerous-looking girl.

"Excuse me Miss but can you show us some identification?" Hearing what the guard captain said Lara(?) flashed her adventurer\'s badge that she hasn\'t been using for some time.

"An S rank Adventurer!" The guards and the people watching at the side were surprised to see the badge Lara(?) showed. Usually, S rank adventurers were much older, since becoming an S rank requires finishing a ton of quests. It was surprising to see Lara(?) who looked like she was seventeen or eighteen years old, be an S rank adventurer.

After being momentarily stunned the guard captain once again looked at Lara(?) and finally realized who she was. That cold look that showed no emotion, that beautiful face and body that made her look like a Valkyrie in battle. She was the youngest person to ever received the S rank as an adventurer.

"The Silent Death, Lara." The guard captain mumbled under his breath.

"Can I go now?" When they heard her question the guards unconsciously stepped aside and some of them even bowed.

"Sorry for the delay, Ma\'am!" The guard captain and his men saluted. Even though Lara(?) was an adventurer, she was also considered a hero to the people of the Reschbeauch Kingdom. She with the other maidens of battle had defended the border of the Kingdom from the Serbek Kingdom\'s relentless attacks.

Lara(?) looked at the guard captain and nodded her head before leaving. The people-watching were surprised to see such a famous figure enter their town. They couldn\'t help but start gossiping. It would seem that the rumors about her ice-cold personality and stoic look were true. It didn\'t take long before most of the town knew of Lara\'s(?) arrival.

...

Lara(?) entered the adventurers guild and upon entering, like usual most of the attention was now on her. The adventurers guild located in this town was relatively small compared to the capital but was still bigger than those located in other towns. So there were currently a lot of adventurers inside the Guild\'s building.

This was also because the adventurers guild wasn\'t only a place to get quests, but it was also a place that functioned as a pub and sometimes an inn depending on the town. It would seem that this particular adventurers guild had a pub in place. There were already some adventurers drinking, and one of those drunks approached Lara(?)

When Lara(?) saw the approaching drunk who was looking at her lewdly, she sighed. This was one of the cliches she hated the most since she felt both disgusted and irritated by such actions.

"Heya cutie, what ya doing here, offering up a quest, o wait, yer an adventurer as well. I\'m Greg also known as Greg the swift a B rank adventurer. So how about ya join me and my party, we\'re all B rank adventurers. We\'ll teach you all the ropes, of course, will have some fun as well."

When the other adventurers saw what was happening they felt sorry for Lara(?) but they couldn\'t do anything. Greg was the strongest adventurer in this town aside from the Guild Master. If they messed with him, they would need to leave town.

The drunk Greg slowly approached Lara(?) who could only sigh. As she was about to do something to the drunken person called Greg, someone spoke.

"Greg, what are you doing?" One of the receptionists spoke to Greg.

"Huh? We\'re just having a little talk, do you want to join in as well?" Greg eyed the female receptionist from head to toe and licked his lips. The female receptionist wasn\'t pleased by the look Greg was giving her.

"We already have many complaints about you Greg, if you keep on doing this we will confiscate your adventurer\'s badge and we will revoke your license. You will never be an adventurer again."

When Greg heard the receptionist threatening him, he started frowning. He was used to doing things his way since he was the strongest adventurer in town well aside from the Guild Master stationed here, who was an A rank.

"I\'m really not doing anything, I\'m just saying hello to our new adventurer friend over here." Greg was about to place his right hand on Lara\'s(?) shoulder when he suddenly could no longer feel his right hand. He then noticed the expression of the people looking at him, they were looking at him with shocked faces.

He then looked at his right arm and saw that it was twisted in a weird way. When he saw what happened he finally felt the pain and started screaming. Even though the pain was immense Greg was also feeling angry as he looked at the only person who could\'ve done this. He saw that Lara(?) wasn\'t even bothering to look at him as she was walking away.

"Come back here you b*tch!" Greg shouted while dashing towards Lara(?). He extended his left hand wanting to grab Lara(?) but then without even seeing how she moved, his left arm was also twisted.

Greg screamed in pain and rolled on the ground. Seeing what happened to their leader, Greg\'s party stood up from their chairs and had their weapons out. The receptionist wanted to do something but was stunned in place. As things were about to escalate a booming voice was heard.

"ENOUGH!"

Everyone\'s attention shifted to the person who spoke. A middle-aged man wearing simple leather armor came down from the second floor. This person was the Guild Master of this branch of the adventurers guild and the one and only A rank in town.

"Guild Master, this b*tch was the one who caused trouble first. Look at what he did to our leader!" One of Greg\'s party members gestured at Greg\'s twisted arms. Seeing what happened the Guild Master frowned. He approached Greg and touched both of Greg\'s arms and bent and twisted them. After a short bout of screaming in pain and agony, Greg\'s arms were fixed.

"I fixed his arms now leave, or else I will revoke all your licenses as adventurers."

"How about her? She\'s the one who started all this!" Greg who had his arms fixed pointed at the stoic Lara(?). The Guild Master glared at Greg and answered.

"Hmph, do you think I don\'t know what kind of person you are Greg? If you weren\'t competent in your job as an adventurer or if you went too far, I would\'ve revoked your license and have you sent to prison long ago."

When Greg heard what the Guild Master said he couldn\'t say anything to rebuke. He could only glare at Lara(?) for now. If the Guild Master wasn\'t going to punish her, he would find a way to do it himself. As if reading his mind the Guild Master spoke to Greg.

"Don\'t bother doing what you\'re thinking. It\'s already a miracle that she didn\'t kill you, so don\'t push it."

"You\'re talking like you would\'ve allowed her to kill me."

"If she did kill you I cannot do anything about it. Those who gain S rank if they have a legitimate reason to can kill anyone that they deem to be criminals. Even if you weren\'t a criminal they could still kill you, their strength makes them almost immune to all the laws of the land."

Everyone held their breath when they heard what the Guild Master said this young girl was an S rank? Even the haughty Greg and his companions were looking a bit pale.

"Y-y-you\'re kidding, right? She can\'t be an S rank, she\'s too young to be one." Greg pointed at Lara(?) who still didn\'t bother to look at him. She simply sat down at a nearby chair waiting for this charade to be over.

"That\'s where you\'re wrong, allow me to introduce you to the youngest S rank adventurer. The one nicknamed Silent Death, Lara."

When the adventurers heard her name and her adventurer nickname it finally dawned on them who the person sitting there without a care, was. When Greg heard what the Guild Master said, he trembled in fear and finally fainted. Seeing what happened to Greg the Guild Master sighed.

"Bring him out of here." He ordered Greg\'s party members who all nodded their heads and fled from the scene.

"I\'m sorry for the rude welcome Lady Lara."

"Not a problem."

"I see... So how can I help you today?"

"I\'m here looking for a quest that would allow me to fight strong opponents." When the Guild Master heard Lara\'s(?) request he pondered for a second. After a moment of thinking, he finally remembered the perfect quest to give.

"Lady Lara, the Adventurers Guild has the perfect quest for you."
