Unbeatable Part 3: Sun Knight – Neo Sun – translated by dahlys

If there was any way in which Neo acted like a companion, it was that he was always leading the way out in front!

Also, he was indeed a competent companion, never letting any enemies run past him to attack the mage in the back.

In addition, he was rather strong, even by the standards of Aldrizzt’s people, who were very well versed in combat.

However, this was where Aldrizzt’s understanding of Neo’s strength ended.

Besides the fact that mages did not understand sword-wielding classes very well, the two of them truly did not run into many difficulties. Maybe it’s because we have been continuously trying to find a way out and haven’t actually entered the depths of the forest! Therefore, although he knew that Neo was rather strong, Aldrizzt did not know exactly how strong he truly was.

Although he was extremely curious about this human called Neo, Aldrizzt did not ask him about anything at all.

This was because Neo had also never questioned the dark elf’s past, not even why he was being hunted by his own people. Thus, Aldrizzt would similarly not ask about Neo’s past. He hadn’t even asked Neo for his surname.

As I gradually regained consciousness, I thought of opening my eyes, but I immediately stopped myself.

Why should I? I’m blind; there is no point in physically opening my eyes.

The images in my mind gradually became clearer… However, all of a sudden they stopped becoming clearer. My sight was still very blurry, not at all like how clear it had been before.

I opened my eyes thinking that they might actually be of some use, but even after doing so the images around me were still blurry and unchanged.

I was startled, slightly confused as to why this was happening, until I realized that the dark element in my vicinity was interfering with my ability to sense other elements, causing the blurriness of the images in my mind. When I strengthened my sensing ability, the images returned to their usual clarity.

This has absolutely nothing to do with opening my eyes!

I ripped a strip of cloth from my robes and started winding it around my eyes.

After applying the Wings of God spell onto myself, I pushed myself to sprint for half an hour before I found the rest of the party.

I thought they would be further away, but they were actually surprisingly close by… This nearly made me burst into a cold sweat all over. If I had exchanged words with Ecilan for a second longer, they might have already caught up with me.

However, as I neared their location, I realized that they were taking a break. The campfire looked like it had been burning for quite a while already.

If they’ve already gotten so close to me, why didn’t they continue to chase me?

Although my heart was filled with suspicion, I cast Light Shield over myself, and then I tried to stay vigilant so that I could prepare to run at any moment.

Contrary to my expectations, no one was anything like the “graceful, handsome, and formidable holy knights” from Sybil’s continuous chants. Instead, all of them were lying around on the ground in a disorderly fashion; leaning on branches, directly sleeping on the dirt, or simply using one of their companion’s calves as a pillow. Still, I guess anyone can tell from their postures that… they’re extremely tired.

Unbeatable Part 2: Dark Elf — Aldrizzt – translated by dahlys

Neo sprinted all the way out of the city. Being a holy knight, which was the class with the greatest endurance, he did not need to stop to rest at all, so he ran late into the night. He was already quite a distance away from the city and had entered the forest a long time ago, but he continued sprinting, stopping only when he saw a lake.

He had stopped running not because he was tired, but because the reflection of moonlight off the clear surface of the lake stirred his interest in taking a bath.

After taking off his sweat-soaked clothes and throwing them on the ground, he jumped into the lake eagerly. Although it was a summer night, the water in the forest lake was cool. It was a little cold when he first entered the water, but it felt extremely comfortable after a while.

Neo swam in the lake for quite some time before leisurely leaning against the bank of the lake and admiring the starry summer night sky. He then felt a little hungry, so he decided to head ashore. He was just about to search for clean clothes to wear when he noticed the very empty shore…

“Eh? Where’s my luggage?”

Fifth Tactic of Slaying a Dragon: “Overcome Various Obstacles of the Journey” – translated by lucathia

After being on the run for several days, everyone felt fairly satisfied living the life of a fugitive. Even Ecilan, our hostage whom we had seized, was living a life of pleasure… How should I explain this?

On the very first night, he swore to the God of Light that he would never escape or harm us. He wanted me to dispel the Chains of Darkness wrapped around his chest so that he could… cook for everyone!

You really couldn’t judge a book by its cover. Although he was one of the exalted Twelve Holy Knights, his cooking skills were even better than Yuna and Sybil’s put together! Once we ate dinner prepared by him, the following morning, no one wanted to eat meals prepared by Yuna or Sybil anymore, not even themselves.

I have a horse to ride and someone to experiment my necromancy on. After tiring of that, I even have delicious meals waiting for me. What in the world can be more comfortable than this?

“Can you not play around with bones while using holy light?”

This wasn’t the first time Yuna had protested, saying things like, “This violates normalcy. You keep breaking the fundamental principle of how holy and dark elements are polar opposites and cannot coexist. You’re completely violating the rules.”
