I'm Actually Not Overpowered!
Chapter 85 Legendary Dragon Slayer... Just Who Are You??! [Pt 1]

"W-what is this place...?" Asa's eyes widened to the point that they nearly looked bloodshot.

It wasn't just her, though.

The other two were the same way—even the usually nonchalant Liebert.

As the evening sun began to set and the moon slowly took over, the young lady and her Party were only a short distance left from their destination.

Of course, they had seen the place from afar. When they did, they thought it was magnificent.

However, the closer the three Adventurers got to the settlement, the more their awe skyrocketed.

At this point, it had reached an immaculate crescendo.

"T-this... is simply a settlement?" Asa's voice quivered.

She could not accept such a word being used to describe this place. The blonde knew what an actual settlement looked like... and it would be insulting to what her eyes were feasted upon to compare the two.

'A city! This is a city!'

She wasn't exaggerating, though. After watching the tall fence that stretched for a long distance, as well as the large structures that peaked from within, Asa was convinced.

The most amazing part was the bright light and warmth that emanated from the city before her.

Asa could feel her heart race and her body tingle as she approached the unknown.

'I-It's amazing... too amazing."

If it hadn't been for her trust in the Legendary Dragon Slayer, as well as her desperation, Asa would not have taken this to be a human settlement—especially one situated out in the wilderness.

But, she had to press forward!

"L-lets walk ahead." The young Adventurer glanced at her two dumbstruck comrades.

"Y-YEAH!"

The three Adventurers received an even greater shock once they drew nearer.

Several humans were already standing in front of the massive gate to welcome them. Asa noticed how they all looked devoted to their duties, and how they smiled with fervor.

'What's going on here...?'

About thirty people were waiting in a long row, and two especially important people were standing at the center.

​ These two women were famous within Dulum, so all three Adventurers knew of them quite well.

"S-Sarah Lyniette the Holy Priestess?! Lucy the Strongest Plebian?!" Asa's voice was louder than she expected, but her surprise could not be contained.

What were two of the most important Adventurers of Dulum doing here? Were they also here to seek the Legendary Dragon Slayer?

No, that couldn't be right!

'They are standing in front of the gate as though they are a part of this settlement. Does that mean...?!'

Asa found herself not being surprised any longer. The Legendary Dragon Slayer was indeed a man worthy of awe and respect.

He was able to obtain the loyalty of these two Adventurers so easily.

The very same Adventurers who would not stay tied to Dulum despite all the efforts made by the Guildmaster and Vice Guildmaster—or so Asa had heard.

"Welcome, Adventurers from Dulum. We know the one you seek... and he has been expecting your arrival." The Priestess spoke first.

She was dressed in pure white linen, having black and cold designs on her, along with a rosary bearing the holy sign of the Goddess wrapped around her neck.

Her blond hair and gentle brown eyes resonated with Asa, making the young lady's heart flutter.

Sarah Lyniette was just as the stories described her—a gentle epitome of perfect devotion.

"Let's not waste any time. I'll let you know a few things before venturing in." Lucy spoke next.

Her crimson eyes narrowed on the three visitors, and despite her short stature, she was very intimidating.

Asa and the others gulped instantly, realizing the difference in abilities between everyone and the little lady.

'S-so... this is someone who has reached the peak of human ability. A-amazing...' Asa shuddered slightly.

"You are only allowed in because 'He' allows it. Since you are his honored guests, we will accord you with due regard.

However, I would advise that you do not make any sudden reactions or suspicious movements. If you do, I will not hesitate to cut you down."

An aura of domination seemed to fill the air, and the three Adventurers found themselves nodding without thinking about it.

"Very well then. Hugo, you may open the door."

Suddenly, the massive gates parted, and a giant being stood at the other end of it.

"W-what?! T-that is—?!" Asa was nearly dumbstruck as she saw the incredibly large Golem.

It was at least fifteen meters in height. Not only did it have a bulky build, but the Mana within it was terrifying.

Asa wasn't sure if any Adventurer in Dulum would be a match for this humongous creature.

Yet...

"Hugo here is our gatekeeper. He won't harm you, so let's proceed inside.

... He was a simple gateman?!

'I don't believe this. I can't believe it!'

Even though Asa knew the Legendary Dragon Slayer was a powerful person, she didn't expect him to rule over such powerful personalities.

Perhaps it was her rationale that was flawed. The blond lady realized that now as she proceeded into the city.

"A-ah...!"

Once she entered, the first thing she noticed was the brightness... and then the warmth.

The heat that permeated the air made the chill of the night basically non-existent, but that was nothing compared to the wonderful display of lights that illuminated the vast land she entered.

>DUM!<

The gates were shut behind her, snapping Asa out of her delirious state. Her eyes simply broadened as she took in the ambiance of a totally different world.

'This place is....amazing!'

She saw buildings made of earth, yet structured so well that she felt lost.

She noticed how arranged their structures were. The tiled surface of the ground made everything so much better.

The brightness, the warmth—it was like daytime within the night.

How was something like this possible? The most amazing part was that she couldn't sense an ounce of Mana from the sources of illumination.

None in the slightest!

Asa saw the nightlife of a community brimming with joy—observing as children ran around with smiles on their faces and the entire area bustling with such energy.

It was enough to drive tears down her face.

"A-amazing..."
