Chapter 36 Ido: This S-rank mission is way too easy!
About three days later.
In a dark, damp, and opaque jungle all year round.
The Dark Sorcerer Guild, with its jet-black serpent, is located here.
Inside the guild.
The dark mages were having a wild party.
"Hahaha!"
"As expected of the boss, he easily wiped out those council lackeys who came to attack us!"
A group of mages from a dark guild, sporting exaggerated tattoos, mohawks, and dressed like "bad guys," surrounded a burly man over two meters tall, loudly complimenting him.
"Hahaha."
"How could those weaklings in the council, who have never witnessed true 'demonic ways,' possibly be a match for me?"
The burly man laughed loudly, holding the stolen barrel in his hands, and gulped it down his throat.
The burly man's name is "The Serpent" Kohn. He used to serve in the Magic Council's mobile unit. For some special reasons, he betrayed the Council and fell into darkness. Therefore, no one knows better than him how to deal with the Magic Council's pursuit.
"However, I heard that those cowards in the Magic Council, after realizing that they absolutely could not defeat us on their own, chose to hire the guys of light to attack us."
"Once we're targeted by those mages from the Guild of Light, it'll be quite troublesome! I've heard that among the mages hired by the Council on this trip, there are quite a few with exceptional strength."
At this moment, a man dressed in a suit and wearing glasses, whose attire, demeanor, and manner of speaking were completely out of place among the group of dark guild mages, looked more like a refined gentleman. He gently pushed up his glasses, looking quite troubled, and warned the crowd present.
"Hahaha!"
"It doesn't matter, does it, Lagus?!"
"No matter how strong the enemy is, they will never surpass the boss."
In response, the group of black mages in the guild, who acted like thugs, laughed indifferently. In their eyes, their guild leader, Kohn, was the most powerful mage on the continent.
"Hahaha."
"That's right!"
"Lagusny is overthinking it."
"Those guys who have never seen the abyss of demonic cultivation have absolutely no chance of defeating me."
Amidst the flattery of his underlings, Cohen smiled smugly, a hint of arrogance in his eyes. However, this arrogance was quickly suppressed by a deep-seated fear.
Kohn couldn't help but recall that nightmarish figure that terrified him day and night.
Yes, Kohn was once a member who yearned for light and justice, until everything changed after he received a mission from a member of the Magic Council to defeat Hades, the guild master of the Dark Mages Guild "Demon Heart".
Even years later, Kohn still vividly remembered how Hades single-handedly and instantly annihilated his more than four hundred fully prepared Dark Mage Special Forces warriors.
On that very day, Kohn witnessed the abyss of the demonic path. Completely disillusioned with the light, he survived by kowtowing and begging for mercy, and swearing an oath to serve Hades from then on.
From that day on, the former vice-captain of the Magic Council's Special Assault Unit against Dark Mages, Kohn, was dead, leaving only the guild master of the Dark Mages Guild, "Serpent" Kohn.
"All light is garbage."
"Only darkness will endure."
Thinking this, Kohn downed the liquor in the barrel in one gulp, suppressing his fear with the alcohol. He wiped the liquor stains from the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "However, Ragus's concerns are not without merit! So, to let those 'Light' guys know that we are invincible, we will take the initiative and first eliminate a few 'Light' guilds to establish our authority."
"oh!!"
As soon as Cohen finished speaking, he was greeted with cheers from his underlings, who excitedly exclaimed, "Boss Cohen is awesome! Boss Cohen is number one in the world!"
"Ragus, tell me."
"Which is the nearest guild of Light Mages?"
Kohn asked his advisor, Rags.
"Perhaps it's Fairy Tail, the Archmage's Guild?"
After looking at the map, Rags said this.
"Fairy Tail?"
"Alright, let's start with Fairy Tail!"
Kohn's lips curled into a slight smile. He had made up his mind: he would utterly destroy that damn Fairy Tail guild. He figured that once he had razed Fairy Tail to the ground, the great Lord Hades would be overjoyed and continue to reward him.
Kohn still remembered the power Hades bestowed upon him after he first swore allegiance to Hades—a power that was said to be magic that had been completely lost on this continent.
"Fairy Tail, here I come!"
As Kohn pondered this, he strode to the guild gate and pushed it open forcefully.
"Ice Dragon's Crushing Fist!"
However, before Koun could even leave the guild, a righteous shout rang in his ears.
Then, the gates of the Dark Serpent Guild shattered before Kohn's eyes, and a bone-chilling cold swept over him from the gates, instantly freezing him into an ice sculpture.
"..."
Until his death, Cohen never knew who had attacked him!
"what……"
As for Cohen's underlings, they were all dumbfounded and stood there at a loss.
"Id!"
"I've already told you, the guild master of the Dark Serpent Guild, 'Serpent' Kohn, is no ordinary person!"
"It's very dangerous for us to just barge in like this."
Just as Cohen's underlings were stunned, a stern female voice came from outside the door.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"I couldn't resist and made a move."
Then, an apologetic male voice rang out, and shortly after, a handsome young man over 1.9 meters tall walked directly into the hall of the Dark Serpent Guild from outside the main gate.
The young man glanced around and asked coldly, "Summon your leader, 'The Serpent' Koun, to come out and see me."
"..."
Upon hearing this, the dark mages in the Dark Serpent Guild's hall fell silent. They looked at Koun, frozen into an ice sculpture, and didn't know what to say.
Are you all deaf?
"I told you to bring your boss out to see me."
Upon seeing this, the young man said with some dissatisfaction.
"Boss... you've frozen him into an ice sculpture."
At this moment, Ragus, who was serving as a staff officer, stepped forward, pointed to Kohn who was frozen solid, and said weakly.
"ha?"
"Is it that weak?"
"Is this an S-rank mission?"
Upon hearing this, the young man frowned slightly and said with dissatisfaction.
"asshole!"
"Who are you?"
Of course, there were also some brainless Cohen henchmen who shouted at the young man, planning to avenge their boss.
"I?"
"I'm just a mage from the Fairy Tail guild who happens to be passing by, nothing more."
Id smiled and introduced himself.
