　It is late at night, when the sun has completely set.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Most of the bars are closed, but there is a faint light leaking from some of the establishments where spirited drinkers gather.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The laughter and chatter of dwarves can be heard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, the main street, which is so noisy during the daytime that it hurts the ears, is not popular at this time of night and is quiet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was not even moonlight because the sky was covered with clouds, and it would have been too dark for a race of people to even walk properly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Dwarfs are suited to the dark, and unlike their race, they could move around in this level of darkness without problems.

............"

　One of the exceptions to this rule, Nano, a dwarf species, looks out from a back alley to the front street, as if he is prowling for prey again tonight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He wears a hood over his head to hide his face and gazes inside his cloak at the "Forbidden Sword" treasure class "Artifact Class" that he created himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nanno strokes the sheath of the "Forbidden Sword" Artifact Class in his hand with an entranced expression.

（Wait and see, Fear Sword that I created. I'll make you suck delicious living blood again tonight.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For the past few days, Nano has been targeting and killing racial adventurers and dwarven species who wander around alone at night. He then feeds their blood to his sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is common sense to avoid going out and about alone at night for safety reasons, but some people do not abide by this rule.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Usually, these people are either not thinking straight, young and conceited, drunk and incapable of making sound judgments,......, or they are skilled.

　In the past few days, Nanno has been targeting and killing adventurers who are out alone at night.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On those occasions, he has been killed by the "Fear Sword," a treasure class "artifact class" sword he holds in his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason why Nanno named the sword "Fear Sword" is because everyone is in awe when confronted with the "Forbidden Sword" artifact class that he created.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The actual "forbidden sword" has the power to give a strong sense of "awe" and "fear" to those who are in contact with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How dangerous it is to have a strong sense of awe and fear in the midst of an exchange of life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The usual brilliance of the technique disappears, and you can't step in and your aim goes awry. Even magic that can be chanted normally will not be able to be chanted properly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is why NANO named the sword he created the "Fear Sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The more blood he sucked, the stronger the effect of the "Sword of Fear" became.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In order to further strengthen his sword, Nanno would lurk in the back alleys and spy on the main street in search of his prey.

（The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your sword is to use it. (But even if there were, they are moving in groups, so I can't get to them.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Recently, because of the "murders targeting those who act alone," there are even fewer people going out at night, and fewer people acting alone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Occasionally, the only people who pass through the main and back streets are the security soldiers on patrol or those in groups of two, three, or more.

　No one traveling alone has been seen tonight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（I can't wait to ...... give the Fear Sword a taste of lifeblood. And let it grow to be closer to the legendary sword. ...... Tonight, I'm going to target a slum hobo, worst-case scenario.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But his fears are unfounded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(...... Oh, a 12 or 3 year old racial child?　(No, the dwarf kind?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A figure wearing a black hooded cloak and holding a cane in his hand was walking casually along the edge of the main street.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was no moonlight, yet there was no hesitation in his steps, and his gait was firm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nanno himself is an adventurer who has fought many battles with monsters and gone through the gauntlet of battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His level is around 300.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The target in the black cloak has a taste for some kind of martial arts and is confident that he can handle a surprise attack under the cover of darkness. Nano observed this from his own experience.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At first he thought it was a racial child of 12 or 3 years old, based on its height. Dragonites, demons, and beasts have distinctive silhouettes even when they wear cloaks because of their horns and tails. Furthermore, it is impossible for an elven child to walk in the capital of a dwarf race at night.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no such thing as a skilled racial child, so the only ones left are dwarves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps it was a Dwarf adventurer returning from a night of drinking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nanno made this judgment and licked his thick lips with a tongue too red and sticky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Hihihi, hihihihi ....... It seems we have decided on tonight's sacrifice.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He does not immediately follow behind the black cloak, but hides once into the darkness of the alleyway.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He followed him through the alleyway, not missing a single sign.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The black cloak stops.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After a slight hesitation, the target steps into the slum.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(?　Why go to a slum in the middle of the night ...... No, this route is in the direction of the inn district!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Black Cloaks did not enter the slums.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　More precisely, it was going to pass through the border of the slum and go out to the inn area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That would be a shorter route than continuing down the main street.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nanno's caution was suddenly lowered, and he became more aware that he was a reasonable prey.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The border line in the slum area separates ordinary people from slum dwellers, so basically neither resident will approach carelessly, even during the daytime.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason is that they don't want to get into trouble with each other by approaching each other.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nanno suppresses his mouth from laughing out loud.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（How convenient!　Maybe it's because the goddess is encouraging me, the genius blacksmith!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He kills his breath and footsteps and lets his level 300-ish physical abilities take the lead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since he is a local, it is easy to get ahead of him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He quickly overtakes them and blocks their path.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He draws the "Fear Sword" from its sheath, which has a racial skin attached to it, and waits for it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The blade of the "Sword of Fear" is now redder and darker than before, even in the dark.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A few minutes later - a black cloak walks by and stops a few meters away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this point, Nano opens his eyes lightly in surprise.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I thought it might be a Dwarven adventurer out late for a drink, or returning from a late night out because he couldn't stand the booze. ...... Are you a child of your race?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

............"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although Nano was taller, he was able to learn more about his opponent by facing him head-on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The target wore a black hooded cloak, a cane in his right hand, and a mask over his face. Although it was difficult to see through the cloak, the target's body was slender and did not appear to be of the stout, thick-boned dwarven build.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the physique of a child of his race.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nanno stroked his beard with his free left hand and thought about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The actuality that a child of the race is out this late at night ...... is it because the senior adventurers asked him or her to do some shopping?　If so, the race is really stupid. They don't even know how dangerous it is to go out alone late at night. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While skipping caution, his mouth starts to distort into a grin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My tastes swell as I imagine the one-sided slaughter that is about to begin. Emotions run high as he imagines his own "Fear Sword" growing even more as it sucks blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He is a second-rate adventurer, or even a third-rate one, for letting his guard down just because he is in town. For example, ...... even in the city, there may be people like me who will attack you!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With the last word, Nano kicks the ground to break the pause.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The black-coated racial child is surprised at the speed, which is unimaginable for a Dwarf species, but takes a defensive stance with both hands gripping his staff.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nano almost laughed out loud again at this attitude.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The ability of the "Fear Sword" - the power to inspire a sense of awe and fear in those who are in contact with it. Just by being hit by a sword at close range, the opponent is consumed with fear by the power of the sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The only thing left to do is to easily slay the opponent who has lost his footing due to fear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nanno has killed several racial adventurers and dwarves with this technique.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Above all, the artifact-class sword I have created is impossible to defeat with mere weapons and armor!　I will slay them as they are and feed them tonight!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nanno swings down his "Fear Sword" with his level 300-ish arm strength!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

......?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, unexpectedly, the opponent's staff firmly caught the "Fear Sword".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And just as NANO is startled, a kick from the black coat enters his abdomen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Uggghh!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nano himself, having dived many times in life-threatening situations, immediately moves out of range, but is met with a shallow kick to the abdomen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The length of the black coat's legs outstripped the speed at which it moved away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nano frowns while holding his stomach with his left hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(d*mn!　It seems that the class of the opponent's wand was higher than expected if they couldn't cut him in half. And to think that they would counterattack without fear even after being hit with the "Sword of Fear" ability,....... The most important thing to remember is that the person you're talking to is not a person of your race, but a person who is stronger than he or she looks.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was surprised at the class of the cane that the black coat held, but most of all, I was frustrated that he was not frightened by the ability of the "Sword of Awe (Fear Sword)".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought he was confident in his own strength from the way he walked. ...... The most important thing to keep in mind is that you should not be afraid of the sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you are high level and strong, you can naturally resist and nullify the ability of the Sword of Fear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nanno's head was cold.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was afraid that, contrary to appearances, it might not be that simple.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He worries that if he lets him go, his information will be leaked to the outside world and he will be less likely to let the Fear Sword suck his blood in the future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　-but such worries were blown away in an instant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But that worry was instantly dispelled. "Aside from your blacksmithing skills, your combat skills seem to have hardly changed since the old days.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?　That's a stupid voice!　You're alive!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

............"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The black coat, while listening to Nano's astonished speech, removes its clownish mask to reveal its true face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's been a long time, Nano. I've come back from the ...... abyss to take revenge."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wright comes face to face with Nano, a dwarf species, one of his avenging partners, for the first time in about three years.
