Versatile: Alternate World

Returning to the City of the Clouds, the first thing I did was sell the useless items I acquired from the battles I have done. It nets me a few gold coins that are not too shabby but only adds a drop of gold coins that is in my coin coffers. Having a lot of gold makes me skip farming gold for the rest of my life I guess and even if I convert it to real money, it will still make me very overwhelmed in the real world and I will have to wonder how to spend them all. That is the problem with being too rich, you don't know where to spend your money because you are too rich already. Can't believe Kazuki used up this much money and does not give a damn about it.

After selling the useless stuff, I stock up on some materials that I can use for creating various items before heading to the headquarters of the Legionnaire where Alynna is working and assigned. To make sure the second phase progress, I have to report it to Alynna. This in turn will allow me to explore the entirety of the Luminous Continent without being held back by guards that will stop me from exploring the continent any further. That in turn, will unlock the boss rush mode and I can start powerleveling myself.

Before I left, I spotted an item that I have not seen for a long time due to how many players decided to buy this and resulted it for being always in short stock and limited due to how this is always a first come first serve item. Grabbing the item, the description and name made me 100% sure that this is indeed the item that I only have one chance of holding in my whole gaming time in the past timeline.

[Anti-Material Bomb]

Type: Throwable Incendiary

Price: 5000 gold

Info:  A bomb that works wonders against monsters. Due to its expensive price, it is not so popular and usually just ends up being left in dust. Inflicts true damage that scales on how high the defense of the target and a 1 minute (Armor Break) debuff to enemies. Can easily demolish a building if thrown into a structure.

Note: As long as it explodes, that is an ideal item to commit war crimes to goblins.

-A certain adventurer who loathes goblins.

This item will be something that I will need to use later on and this is going to be crucial once I started to grind for my levels. I am fortunate enough to see this in stock compared in the past where this thing is always a first come first serve item and never gets to be used by anyone who are casual. If you are lucky and someone who is nice enough to let you experience the power of this bomb gives you one, you will immediately understand why this item is being coveted.

"Boss! How many crates of this do you have in your shop? I will buy them all."

There's nothing else eye-catching items left for me to get except for the Anti-Material bomb so I left the shop and proceed to go to my main objective in stopping here in this city. Since the quest has yet to get finished, it also means that this questline of mine here in Luminous Continent will remain the same which means I can still go rogue one in this battle. I might be wrong since this might get finished once I report to Alynna but we will see.

In the streets, I spotted a few Pioneers here and there discussing what items they buy, which dungeon to conquer and many more since the quest line is vague especially with the Tactician being a useless bastard for the entire few days. Not only did I finish the first phase all alone, I didn't even receive any support from the Tactician himself. In fact, if I followed the Tactician, the battle against the Tormentor wouldn't be over immediately and many lives might be lost due to his own laziness.

Arriving to the office of Alynna, I saw the same guy from the first day that welcomed and introduced me to Alynna.

"Hey, is the general available at the moment?" I asked.

The angel looked at me a few seconds before he immediately recognized me.

"Oh its you! The first guy who learned Flight and disappeared after I sent you to the Tactician! It's been a while, why you suddenly disappeared after that? You missed a lot of stuff that General Alynna asked you pioneers to do."

"Pretty much busy so I didn't have much time. Anyways, is she available right now?"

"Yes. You can just enter the door and you will meet her on her office located at the second floor, 4th door on the right. It's not too late to ask her for some task to do while you guys are waiting for her job for you all."

I nodded at him and entered the headquarters. Though his recommendation is very valuable, I don't think it is wise for me to make friends with her that much. It's better this way.

The office of her granddaughter was in the third floor of the Headquarters. Guess it was different when Alynna was still the General. I knocked the door 3 times to ensure she is in there. I don't want to come off rude by just waltzing in.

"Come in."

Entering the door, Alynna is currently relaxing on her chair with her two feet crossed on the table while munching a snack that if I remember correctly was something so disgusting I didn't want to eat or smell again. I didn't know Alynna likes that sh*t so much for her to be eating it.

When she saw me entered, she immediately stood up from her chair and slam her hands on the table.

"It's you! I  am sure it was you! No one else seems to be doing stuff like that from the Pioneers and no one else from the city does that things either! It's only you the main suspect and no one else!"

"Huh? What?"

I was surprised as Alynna started to say something I don't even understand. She just started talking nonsense that I don't know what she was suddenly telling me that I am the one who did it."

"What do you mean what? Isn't it you?"

"What do you mean about that it was me? What did I do that you suddenly burst out like that? Care to properly explain? I am so confused right now."

"Ah... Ahem. Yes. Back to the topic. There was someone who has been burning vlllages left and right and attacked them yes? Was that your doing?"

Hmmm, so that was how it is. I didn't know she was already suspecting me but for her to immediately suspect me as the one, as expected of a general. No wonder she earned the spot of being the General.

"Uh... yes. I was the one who did it."

"I knew it. How did you know about it? Why you didn't tell us? Was this the Tactician's plan all along by keeping us in the dark?"

"Wait, wait, wait. Hold up. Don't mention that guy in this conversation as that guy didn't even contribute anything in this matter. Don't go starting praising him for the task that he didn't do. That useless bastard was useless till the end. I don't mind anyone getting offended of me saying that but having to glorify that guy is the worst thing and I don't think I would like to even do that so please."

"You mean, you didn't do those stuff due to the task given to you by the Tactician?" Alynna is confused as she sits back down to her chair.

"What do you mean task? I was kicked out on his so-called mansion and was left without anything to do so I decided to go and investigate things all by myself."

So all of this things that happened to the villages are all your doing?"

"Yes, that is right. And the reason I didn't inform you all because I know that you all will just gonna ask that f*cker for an info on how to do this and that and I am tired of his sh*t and after hearing bad rumors about him, I decided to do things all by myself without his help and decided to keep quiet than to let him handle this."

"Which means, you only did it all by yourself? If that is the case, how come you are here? I thought you will not bother to inform us about it?"

"Oh, I was here to go and report in the situation. The Scourge that I have already gotten rid from the villages that infected and morphed all the villagers and its main source is now gone from this world."

"Wait, what? What do you mean?" Alynna frowned.

"What else? The boss who caused all of the scourge, the one who created and spread it to the Luminous Continet is now dead."
