VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

Chapter 116 - 116: First camp

"So, the sword you got from the library event was something like a key?"

"You can say that… there are many kinds of swords in this world, and some are special. This white sword is perhaps the most special of them all. But, I can't use it. And as long as I have this, the only special sword that I can use are the ones like that crimson sword that you have seen already."

They are the actual keys.

And she was

She would be alright. Life of a single (tier-4) mage was not that great to those association people.

"Haha, yes yes. I will start smiling."

He was laughing. And, it wasn't a fake laugh.

"Good."

He did not like that he was powerless, but one thing that dead mage said had remained on his mind.

'I'm nothing special compared to people around me…'

It was a fact.

He was not skilled and experienced like Alex or Miss Rin, he was not special like Az and Miu, he was also not a unique existence like Misha and Sera.

He was a good mage perhaps, he might also be a good person. But, when it comes to combat… he was useless.

He did not want to kill. If it were up to him, he would have spared even the mage that caused them such trouble… he was greedy, he was arrogant, but the fact that he did not kill them outright also indicated that he was not an evil existence like the dark magician.

He was doing what he wanted because he was strong enough to do it all. And, being strong was not a bad thing.

'Strength…'

What he needed, what he must obtain was strength unlike anything anyone else possesses. If he wanted to protect Them in extreme and unexpected situations like this one in the future…

He needed to find his strengths.

"Thanks for saving them."

"I'll do it again, and again until I cannot. They are as much as mine as they are yours."

She kissed the hand that he had not let go of ever since they sat here…

It was late at night already, and they needed some sleep.

But until Miss Rin finishes her nap, they need to stay awake and keep watch over the rest of them who were done with their little sleep.

Camping was not that simple, especially when it was done in areas famous for monster attacks.
