Chapter 26 - Rumors of the Nightmare Terror

Back in the kingdom of Nacia, rumors were spreading around about the Nightmare Terror of Aturia. Akube was out strolling when he overheard some adventurers talking about it. Those adventurers were the first party they met the first time they came into this world.

Akube: Nightmare Terror!!

Uto: Yeah—hold up, isn't that Akube?

Akube: Hey Uto, what's good man? It's been forever.

Uto: Tell me about it. How are you doing, and how is Dranexx?

Amanda: Where is my Drany baby? He's not here with you?

Akube: Ahh, the lady's man, enh?

Amanda: What do you mean, lady's man…?

Akube: Yeah, I hate to spoil your fun, but Dranexx… ahh, I don't know how to say this, but he's actually in a relationship. And mostly he's been gone for a while now… so I haven't really heard much from him, though he's alright.

Amanda: So the hot guy finally gets himself a woman. I thought he was the type to be avoiding ladies.

Akube: Yeah, everything changed till he met Soral.

Uto: What do you mean Dranexx has been gone for a while now?

Akube: Well, it's complicated, but nothing much.

Soza: Hmmm, you two are not the type of friends that quarrel with each other, are you?

Akube: Oh no, nothing like that. He just went for training, that's all truly.

Uto: He went for training!! He's strong and yet he still goes for training? Damn, that guy is one straightforward guy with massive determination. Enh… I guess I will train too. If someone as strong as he trains, then I will train too.

Akube: Earlier you guys were saying something about someone called Night… shii, I don't understand.

Uto: Oh, you mean the Nightmare Terror from the kingdom of Aturia.

Akube: Yes, that name. Who's he? Some kind of big deal warrior or what?

Uto: It's a guy that recently came into the kingdom of Aturia and helped them defeat Narukia. And here it says he single-handedly demolished 78,000 elite soldiers of Narukia alone, and 5 power heroes. He's the defender there.

Akube: Hmmm… Nightmare Terror, huh. So when did he arrive in the kingdom? Well, we haven't heard his name before, but it's probably around 2 months since he started dominating the kingdom of Narukia…

Akube (thought): There's no doubt that's one of our classmates… so that's the path he chose, huh? Whatever—until we cross paths. Well, I don't know how powerful he is, but to take his name this far and make an entire nation fear him… then he's something else, and not someone we can likely play with.

(out loud) Well, whoever he is, I'm sure he's doing great work there.

Uto: My problem now is what if he tries to come after this kingdom of ours? I mean, with this news around, this guy is no joke.

Akube: Nah, I won't worry about that. He's smart enough to know this is the largest and biggest nation in the whole of Lumeria, so he won't dare to make silly mistakes.

Uto: You're right. This kingdom has powerful warriors that far exceed many demons and monsters' levels.

Akube: So you've got nothing to worry about, okay? Everything is going to be fine.

Soza: You're so chill with it.

Akube: Of course I am, because I know we are in a better and safe nation, so nobody will dare to mess things up.

Uto: Yeah, you're right. Care to join us for a drink!!

Akube: Oh, sure thing.

Amanda: Whoooo! A nice drink after some monster hunts always hits the spot… wish Drany was here to hit my spot, hmmhmmmhmmm.

Everyone: Wow… she straight up said it out loud.

Akube: Hahahahahha… man, you guys are funny…..
