Chapter 132
132: Huh? A Wanted Poster? (1)
At first glance, it might have seemed cruel or brutal, but in this situation, there wasn’t a single Hunter who could reasonably condemn Dohyun. Not only did they attack first, but they fought using Monsters as well?
In the Hunter world, this was the kind of situation where even death wouldn’t excuse you—if discovered, you’d have to apologize. That’s why Dohyun felt no qualms, and neither did Hanalin nor Jiyuchan say anything about it.
The only regret was that the cute Mirage Jellyfish had died, but our Dohyun harbored no sentiment toward such creatures.
After all, what difference was there between Monsters that killed fellow Hunters alongside weakened villains and the villains themselves?
Just because something looked cute on the outside didn’t mean it deserved forgiveness. After disposing of Whistler as well, Dohyun saw a familiar message materialize before his eyes.
[You have eliminated a Villain and acquired the Points they possessed.]
[You have acquired a total of 351,250P.]
‘That’s more Points than I expected?’
Dohyun let out a small exclamation of admiration upon seeing this.
When he’d killed Krol and Rahel from Rahel’s Party—who’d been indiscriminately slaughtering their way through—he’d obtained roughly 530,000 Points. Yet these three, weakened to the point where their stat reductions appeared separately on their status windows, possessed a whopping 350,000 Points!
“These guys were basically golden Goblins.”
“Huh??”
“Um….”
At Dohyun’s attitude of treating the Villains as nothing more than farming supply stations, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked at him with expressions of mild shock, but neither corrected him.
It was, after all, an accurate description.
In any case, as Dohyun was about to gather the other spoils, he found himself thinking that his accumulated Points must be quite substantial by now.
‘Wait? How many Points do I have now?’
The last time he’d checked, after defeating Rahel’s Party, he’d surpassed 600,000. He hadn’t given it much thought since then. As Dohyun naturally opened his status window, an enormous amount of Points greeted him.
『Points』
▶「P: 1,000,726」
▶「AP: 23,370」
“Gasp?!”
“What’s wrong!?”
“What happened!?”
“M-my Points….”
“…?” “…?”
At Dohyun’s words, Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked at him with confused expressions, while Dohyun swallowed hard, rubbing his eyes and checking his Points again.
Unable to speak about it to Hanalin and Jiyuchan, he stared at his Points with a bewildered expression.
A full million Points!
Converting that to currency, it was worth 10 billion—and the fact that he possessed such an amount made Dohyun cover his mouth as tears welled up in his eyes. When had he accumulated so much?
He realized he’d been working incredibly hard all this time.
Though it hadn’t even been two months since Dohyun had awakened, he’d certainly been diligent, and as he stood there with tears of gratitude, Hanalin asked him a question.
“Aren’t you going to check for anything else?”
“Oh? Right, I should!”
Saying so, Dohyun rummaged through their belongings to see what else might be there, but nothing of note turned up. Even the magical pouches that Hanalin and Jiyuchan had each obtained were gone, and all that remained were the equipment they currently wore. Of course, even that wasn’t particularly good gear.
It seemed they stored their valuables and such items elsewhere.
Though it was disappointing, Dohyun didn’t pay it much mind.
Since he’d already defeated them and obtained a million Points, there was no reason to worry, so Dohyun coolly got to his feet.
“Shall we head out again?”
At Dohyun’s words, Hanalin and Jiyuchan nodded in agreement. The Dohyun Party was essentially conducting a voyage at this point, so they had to venture as far as possible with diligence.
There was still a considerable distance to cover.
“Let’s depart.”
“Right away.”
“Set sail!”
Though all three of us had to move about laboriously with our own strength, it was still the Seafloor after all, so “setting sail” was the appropriate term.
Thus, the Dohyun Party cut through the currents of the Seafloor, consulting both the Compass and the Treasure Map as we advanced.
* * *
The Monsters that emerged from the Undersea Region were all remarkably similar. Carnivorous fish, creatures like sharks, or cephalopods like squid and octopuses—and if not those, then Fish-Men that seemed to be a mixture of fish and humans. After beheading the last Fish-Man, I muttered while observing the corpse.
“I still can’t tell the difference between non-human races and Monsters.”
It was true. The three-person group of Villain merchants I’d killed upon arriving here weren’t Fish-Men themselves, were they? I understood they could speak and communicate, but they seemed barely different from the Fish-Man I’d just slain, which left me feeling uncertain.
Though I’d heard a rough explanation of how to distinguish them, I didn’t quite understand it. When I said as much, Hanalin and Jiyuchan beside me responded.
“Hmm, it is difficult.”
“…They say it comes down to whether they possess intelligence, but truthfully, it’s hard to distinguish by appearance alone.”
“Right?”
Relieved that I wasn’t the only one confused, I exhaled a sigh of relief—I’d been worried I might be a racist. Then something suddenly occurred to me.
Recalling the types of Monsters that newly appeared from C-rank onward, I turned to Hanalin and asked.
“Now that I think about it, didn’t something new get added starting from C-rank?”
“Ah? You mean Aberrants, sir?”
“Aberrants?”
Both Jiyuchan and I tilted our heads in confusion at the unfamiliar term, and Hanalin, our information specialist, sighed at us both before kindly explaining.
“Aberrants are Monsters that possess intelligence. The difference from non-human races isn’t mana—it’s that they emit magical energy, and when they kill a Hunter, they absorb the points that Hunter was carrying to grow stronger. Of course, when you defeat such a creature, you can obtain the points the Aberrant had absorbed.”
“I see.” “Ah, I understand.”
Jiyuchan and I nodded at the concise and clear explanation, letting out sounds of comprehension. So they kill Hunters and absorb their points to grow stronger, and when you defeat such an Aberrant, you gain all the points it had absorbed—that certainly sounded appealing.
When I heard this and chuckled, Hanalin continued.
“Certainly, when you manage to defeat a particularly strong one, you can obtain massive amounts of points. And given that they definitely appear starting from C-rank Zones, they’re similar to the Bosses that appear in Dungeons rather than Zone Bosses—so people often call them Bosses rather than Aberrants.”
As Hanalin shrugged while explaining, I smiled, finding it genuinely interesting. Still, I had no intention of actively seeking them out.
Right now, I was prioritizing finding the Treasure Map above all else—whether it was Aberrants or Bosses or anything else. Just heading toward the location marked on the Treasure Map would take over a month of travel, so I had no time to spare on such distractions.
Besides, there probably wouldn’t be that many anyway.
Fortunately, sensing that I wasn’t particularly interested, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan felt somewhat relieved and wrapped up the topic.
They’d been a bit worried I’d spend an enormous amount of time on this, but fortunately, I seemed largely uninterested.
This was all thanks to having a million points. If I hadn’t, I might have at least tried to search for the Treasure Map once.
In any case, as I dismissed the talk of Aberrants and prepared to resume our voyage, I caught sight of a school of sharks drawn by the scent of blood from the recent battle nearby, and I raised my weapon again.
“Sharks are such a nuisance.”
Whoosh—
“There are more of them than I expected.”
Splash, splash.
“Indeed.”
Scrape—
I swung my sword lightly, cleaving through the sharks, while Hanalin efficiently wielded water and ice magic—perfectly suited to the seafloor environment—piercing through the creatures. Jiyuchan, too, dispatched the sharks with swift sword strikes.
By now, the Dohyun Party had transcended the ranks of mid-tier C-rank Hunters, and we sought to finish quickly and move on.
Naturally, even countless swarms of sharks posed no challenge to the Dohyun Party—we cleared them all in less than ten minutes. Just as we were about to depart, I spotted something lying on the ground before anyone else.
“Hm?”
At my curious sound, Hanalin and Jiyuchan approached to see what was wrong.
There lay a single sheet of paper, and all three of us tilted our heads in confusion. We’d heard that items could drop from defeated monsters, yet the Dohyun Party had never obtained such a thing before.
We’d only ever acquired items from Dungeons or markets—or from benevolent Villains who willingly gave them—but we’d never seen a monster drop an item. Until now, that rule held firm.
Fluttering down to the ground was nothing other than a single sheet of paper, which I immediately picked up.
Our first historic drop item was none other than—
“Hm? A bounty notice?”
“A bounty notice?”
“Bounty notices can drop from monsters?”
At my words, Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked at the paper I’d lifted, and it was indeed a bounty notice.
The stark photograph with distinctive features written alongside it—everything confirmed it was unmistakably a bounty notice.
『The Mulbeomaewi Fiend』
▶「This fiend has devoured twenty-three Hunters thus far.」
▶「Please eliminate this creature.」
Just as the saying goes—speak of the tiger and it appears. I never imagined our first drop item would be a fiend’s bounty notice. Stunned by this unexpected turn, all three of us stared at the notice in disbelief.
Then I was the first to notice something and cried out.
“Hm?”
“What?”
“…?”
When Hanalin caught on as well, Jiyuchan stared at us both, wondering what we were going on about. I quickly pulled out the Treasure Map and compared the location marked on the bounty notice, showing it to Jiyuchan.
Then Jiyuchan finally understood.
“…It’s right on our path?”
“Yes. We could take care of it on the way, couldn’t we?”
“I suppose we could.”
Hanalin spoke first, relieved that I wouldn’t object to hunting the fiend, and Jiyuchan answered with a slight grin.
Watching the two of them, I sighed and shook my head as if to say there was no stopping them.
“Sigh, you two really are battle maniacs.”
“…?” “…?”
They looked at me in disbelief, wondering if they’d heard correctly, but I wasn’t the type to concern myself with such things.
I smiled at them and replied.
“So, shall we go hunt this fiend?”
Though my sudden change in attitude was absurd, neither Hanalin nor Jiyuchan objected. After all, who in this party wasn’t a battle maniac?
All three of us moved forward with evident joy, our pace quite rapid.
At this rate, roughly—
“We should reach the vicinity in about one to two hours.”
As I spoke using Analysis, Hanalin and Jiyuchan nodded as if they’d already resolved themselves, and we covered the distance at high speed.
