Tensei Kenja no Isekai Raifu ~Daini no Shokugyo wo Ete, Sekai Saikyou ni Narimashita~ Chapter 30

‘Magic Transfer-Magic Throwing Net!”

In this world, you were often encouraged to execute criminals on the spot.

Normally, there would be the issue of whether they truly were guilty, but since they had tools to determine if someone was lying, things went much more smoothly here.

Still…I decided to capture him with magic.

It wasn’t out of a sense of pity.

We currently lacked information, and any person who could help us with that was worth keeping alive for now.

“What!?”

‘Magic Transfer-Fireball!’

After capturing him, I used ‘Fireball’ to destroy the stick he was using to hold the cursed stone.

And then-

‘Curse Break: Extreme!’

Last time I had used the normal Curse Break, but that had resulted in monsters spilling out.

So maybe if I cleansed it completely with advanced magic…

“Wha-…”

Right in front of the man who had brought it, the once black magic stone turned pure white in a flash. And then it vanished.

Yes, as long as you broke the curse all at once, you could nullify it safely.

Now I just needed to take the culprit back to town and have him questioned…

“Tsk… To save this tarnished world!”

Just as the stone disappeared, the man shouted these words and stabbed himself in the neck with a knife.

“…What?”

While I was still stunned, he continued by stabbing himself in the chest and head. And then he died.

…He had killed himself.

It was understandable if he didn’t want to be questioned, but it seemed way too early to do something so decisive.

I would have thought he would at least try and escape first…

But then again, it was possible that he was being mind-controlled by whoever orchestrated this.

In any case…I needed to report this to the guild. As soon as possible.

And so I ran back to town in a hurry.

The problem wasn’t that he had brought a magic stone.

The problem was that they were bringing in other magic stones than the one that had created the swarm of monsters.

Considering he had killed himself, there must be others besides him.

I could imagine a horrifyingly large crime organization in the shadows.

That created another problem.

I didn’t know what their purpose was-but this suggested that there were others like this man.

If there were many of them, they were probably placing these stones in other areas as well.

That meant there were likely many monsters outside of my security net…

Just as I thought this, a slime contacted me.

‘What is it?’

‘Lots of monsters are appearing from behind us!’

‘They are still far away, but there are so many of them!’

“They’re coming from over there as well!’

…So it seemed that I was right.

I had used my Tamer skills to strengthen their scouting abilities.

And so they were quick to notice that other monsters were appearing.

With so many monsters about, it would be difficult to have the slimes gather in one place.

I could also use h.e.l.lfire of Death to kill a lot of the monsters at once, but I should probably wait until there were more.

If I did it now, most of them would escape.

…And so I would have the slimes hide and protect themselves for now.

‘Proud Wolf! Take as many of the slimes as you can and return to town! The rest of you, go and hide until I give you further orders!’

‘Understood!’

‘Okay!’

‘They won’t find me!’

I could hear the slimes and Proud Wolf moving hurriedly around as I headed for the guild.

The situation was becoming incredibly dangerous.
