With the commander's question, the Vice Commander answered before the guard said anything. The guard seemed indifferent and didn't seem angry, but the Vice Commander didn't want the Commander to end up irritating the guard at some point.
"It was just a child. So he decided not to come back because he's sure that child was already dead." The Vice commander said as he rose from his chair.
"A child? You are kidding with me?" The commander said impatiently as he moved closer to the guard: "Who was it? And did you kill him?" The commander said as he looked into the opening of the guard's helmet.
What he could see was just a frightening red glow, but he still didn't pull away.
"He was a child because of his stature. He was wearing an outfit that didn't allow me to see any part of his body, so I couldn't see his appearance very well."
The guard only remembered the boy's eyes showing, but he couldn't see the boy's eye color because of the dark.
"Are you sure it wasn't a dwarf?"
"I'm sure of that, he was too thin to be a dwarf."
"I see, so it was just a child..." The commander stepped away from the guard as placed a hand on his chin and thought.
After some time in silence, the commander questioned the guard again.
"But what happened to him? You didn't go back there to check, did you? I'm really worried about it."
"As I said, he's just a child, he's already dead." The guard said as he prepared to walk out of the tent. But before leaving, he turned again to look at the commander.
Seeing this, the commander held his breath, afraid the guard would do something to him.
"But I'll go back there to check."
"Do that, if it was just a kid he wouldn't be here." Even with fear, the commander replied.
With a wave, the guard left the tent and walked away towards the monster army where he had thrown that little child before. The guard was only going out of obligation, he was sure that child had been dead for a long time.
In the tent, the commander was still worried.
"I thought he was going to kill me."
"You shouldn't talk to him like that, you'll end up getting killed." The Vice commander said worriedly. But right away he went back to acting as before.
"But this is very strange, do you think this child is a person who works for Southlein's army?"
"I do not know. But from what the guard told me before, the child seemed to be after the monsters and completely ignored our main army."
"I see, so he's after the monsters. That's weird, maybe they found out the monster army is here and sent someone to exterminate it or keep the monsters occupied while they attack?"
"But would they send only one child? No, that doesn't make sense."
"But if that's not it, what do you think it is? Just a curious child?"
"If I had to say it, I'd say it's just a kid who likes to venture out and has gone where he shouldn't. This child has probably already been eaten by monsters."
"I don't know... I'm still a little scared about it."
"Are you afraid of a child? Hahaha, I didn't think you were such a coward. Come on, nothing will happen, you should rest and wait for the king to get in touch so that the attack can begin."
"I've already lost sleep, I'll just wait for news from that guard."
"You are so annoying, you know?"
"I'm not annoying, I'm just being cautious."
"Okay, okay. I'll take advantage and I'll go to my tent to rest."
"Sure, I'll stay here and take care of everything."
After that, the Vice commander left the tent and went directly to his tent and lay down as he protect himself from the cold. Meanwhile, the commander continued to bite his nails as he waited anxiously for news.
He didn't think he was being too cautious he thought he was doing the right thing by getting so worried.
"That child…is dangerous." His feline instincts continued to point to that.

The amount of power was incredible, my body was boiling and I was feeling like my energy was never going to run out. Holding my sword, I swung it and a great deal of fire was thrown at the monsters, burning them alive.
When monsters approached me, I used fire magic to burn everyone around me.
But getting tired of just using fire magic, I started using water magic to create blades that were thrown randomly at the army while I also used my sword to cut.
Within minutes a mountain of bodies was made. Monsters with their bodies cut off began to be eaten by their friends as I continued to kill them quickly.
'But now I think I had enough fun. I've also leveled up enough, I can get out of here now.' Using all my agility and strength, I started to clear a path while killing the monsters in front of me.
The monsters that came from the front were cut by my sword and the other monsters that tried to approach were killed by my magic.
A large jet of water was thrown from all over my body to all sides. A concentrated jet of water pierced the monsters' bodies and killed them.
I was feeling like a killing machine.
All monsters that approached me were quickly killed as they screamed in despair.
I confess that I was having fun, but it was also getting a little boring because it was so easy.
"Right, now get out of my way." Saying this, a large ball of fire that gave off great heat appeared on the tip of my sword.
With a great deal of magic concentrated there, I swung my sword vertically toward the monsters in front of me. When the sword touched the ground, an explosion happened in front of me.
Then several explosions were happening in a straight line, opening the way for me to pass. The sound of explosions hurt my ears as dirt and bits of monsters flew everywhere.
The heat I felt was immense, but I didn't care and moved forward even with a little fire still left.
I ran at full speed, putting out all the fire that was left because of the draft created by my speed. I walked up the hill a bit and looked back, the monsters were advancing towards me.
But when I looked at them, I noticed that their number had dwindled considerably.
"How many monsters have I killed? Well, I think my level shows that a lot of them were killed."
Few bodies were left as those that were cut were eaten by other monsters and most of them were charred with fire magic. What was left there were just angry, bloodthirsty monsters.
"Alright, one last spell." Looking at the scene of an avalanche of monsters scrambling up the hill, my heart started beating fast. I had to do this.
Since I was stopped last time, I think it's okay for me to do that now.
I put my sword down and then focused all my magic on my hand again. Then a large ball of fire began to grow in front of my hand, an even greater amount of mana than was used before.
The environment around me was silent as I concentrated on just that.
Then, holding my breath, I threw it.
A fireball the size of a human body. Was huge. The ball emitted a strong light that could probably be seen from miles away.
Strong heat was emitted, enough to burn the monsters as they approached the fireball. No, it wasn't them that approached, it was the fireball that approached them.
When they realized they were in danger, even monsters who had little intelligence tried to run, but it was too late.
The fireball hit the monsters and turned them to ash. But she didn't stop there.
The fireball moved forward burning all the monsters that were in the way, but after crashing into the ground.
The environment was silent for only 3 seconds, it was as if time had stopped. After that, the brightness increased, increased enough to be compared to the afternoon sun.
And then.
BOOM~~
BOOM~~
BOOM~~
Several explosions followed, a large amount of fire rising into the sky in the shape of a mushroom. No, several of these mushrooms formed amid the monster army.
My current level was 38, I had climbed 11 levels before and I currently had 180 skill points to use.
I thought that was enough, but I was wrong, euphoria hit me as I started to hear that robotic voice in my mind over and over again.
