Chapter 250
250: How High Does This Go? (1)
As Dohyun shouted those words, everyone nodded eagerly, their faces alight with excitement. Normally, they would have organized their findings and moved to another location to inspect the spoils in the Safe Zone, but with Dohyun—the greatest contributor—speaking so decisively, no one dared object.
Moreover, despite several of them nearly dying, they had completed the subjugation without a single casualty, so everyone felt they deserved to celebrate a little.
“Having nearly died and lived to tell the tale, this seems well-earned.”
Baeryujin nodded in agreement, and with his approval, everyone gathered the items together according to Dohyun’s wishes without hesitation.
Six items dropped in total—including an Elixir and a Manual. Though Zone Bosses typically yielded decent loot, the quantity far exceeded what the records suggested, and everyone swallowed hard with anticipation.
Even at a glance, these items seemed extraordinary. They radiated such brilliant light that it was nearly impossible to believe they had come from a C-rank Zone, and everyone fixed their expectant gazes on Dohyun.
Wondering what items had actually dropped, Dohyun smiled and spoke.
“Well then, shall we begin the appraisal right away?”
Everyone nodded in response. In that moment of anticipation, Dohyun felt something shift—both in the text appearing before his eyes and in his mental landscape, and he made a sound.
[You have completed the Analysis of all ‘Records’.]
[Davy Jones’ Record is inscribed upon your mental landscape.]
“Ah.”
With that word ‘Analysis’, Dohyun let out a short cry and collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut. For a moment, everyone stared blankly at his fallen form, but Hezway, the Healer, and Hanalin—for reasons unclear—were the first to move and catch him.
As Hanalin looked toward Hezway, the Healer nodded reassuringly.
“He’s simply lost consciousness. There’s nothing wrong with his body.”
At Hezway’s words, everyone relaxed and looked at Dohyun.
It was certainly absurd—he had been the one eagerly suggesting they check the rewards, only to collapse like this—but somehow, all the Attack Party members found it fitting and spoke accordingly.
“Then let’s gather the items carefully and return to Baul.”
“It seems his mental strength has been considerably depleted from being drawn into the Final Zone, so it may take some time for him to wake.”
“Let’s wait a bit.”
“Let’s return so he can rest comfortably.”
Everyone agreed with one voice to return for Dohyun’s sake, and thus they were able to conclude their journey—brief yet somehow long.
* * *
Dohyun, unconscious as though sleeping deeply, experienced a rather lengthy dream.
A dream of being raised as an assassin in a martial arts world, of living as an assassin, and ultimately being killed by a disciple he had trained—yet somehow, his records were stolen by that very disciple, and he transformed into a Monster, leaving nothing behind. It was a strange and unjust dream.
Though the dream seemed long, Dohyun did not feel its length.
Rather, after experiencing that refreshing dream, he felt his mind clearing, and with a sense of invigoration, he stretched languidly with a yawn before rising from his bed.
“Haaaaaah!!! Wow! I feel so refreshed!”
As Dohyun spoke with such vitality and rose from his bed, Hanalin, who had been wearing a headband and reading a book beside him, widened her eyes like a rabbit’s, then dashed over and threw open the door, shouting.
“Dohyun—no, Suhyun oppa is awake!!!”
Dohyun blinked in confusion at Hanalin’s frantic cry, and as she returned, he was about to ask what was wrong.
But seeing Hanalin’s expression upon her return, it somehow reminded him of the Black Dome’s Season 2 broadcast, so he simply blinked and asked her hesitantly.
“Did… I really sleep for a very long time?”
“…Yes.”
“How many days have passed?”
“Ten days.”
“What!?”
He had thought he’d had a long dream, but ten days of sleep—he never expected that!
At that moment, I couldn’t help but mutter, feeling utterly wronged.
“Wait, then what about the spoils!?”
“…Sigh, that’s so like you, oppa.”
Hanalin shook her head as she watched me get up just fine, uncertain whether she should be concerned or not, then let out a long sigh. Well, at least I was conscious again.
While Hanalin was thinking this, people came rushing in as if they’d heard her cry—Jiyuchan first, then Hezway, Vera, and Jerome. Seeing all of them arrive, I thought quite the crowd had gathered.
Was this really necessary?
Since we hadn’t confirmed the rewards yet, it made sense that everyone came running.
“Hehe, shall we check the rewards first then?”
The moment I said that again, everyone looked at me with expressions of shock, and I asked them why they were reacting that way.
“What’s wrong?”
“Well, oppa, those were your last words before, so everyone’s getting PTSD hearing you say it again.”
“Ah. But I won’t collapse this time.”
I knew the reason I’d collapsed—Davy Jones’ 『Record』 had been engraved in my psyche, which was why I’d lost consciousness. But now I understood I wouldn’t collapse again.
However, the Attack Team members, unaware of this, remained anxious.
If I collapsed again here, wouldn’t that be another ten days? That’s what they were thinking.
Fortunately, seeing that I truly looked fine, everyone nodded in relief.
They were relieved that this time they could finally confirm the rewards, and I immediately got up with a grin, checking my body just in case.
‘Since the 『Record』 related to the 『Reaper』 has been engraved in my psyche, and I’ve even obtained the 『Reaper』’s relic, I should be able to find it soon, right?’
I quietly noted my new objective and spoke to everyone.
Now that there was nothing holding me back, it was finally time to examine the spoils!
“Let’s go then!”
* * *
Following my call, we arrived at the Meeting Room.
However.
“Why are there so few people here??”
The number of people was considerably smaller than I expected.
Seeing only Hezway, Ines, Vera, Jerome, and the three-person group of my party gathered, I tilted my head in confusion.
While I was wondering about this—seeing that the leaders and Vera had gathered while the other team members were absent—Hanalin explained it for me.
“Everyone had other duties to handle after you collapsed, so we decided to distribute the rewards like this, with each party taking one item.”
“I see, but wait? There are six items, aren’t there?”
As I said this, I looked at the six items laid out in the Meeting Room.
There was an elixir, a manual, what appeared to be an orb, earrings, a helmet, and a cloak—six items total, but only four parties were gathered here.
Seeing my questioning look about how the rest would be distributed, Hanalin explained that too.
“The Baeksa Faction yielded one to us, and by merit, we’re taking two, so we get three total. The remaining three parties will split the remaining three items.”
“I see.”
At Hanalin’s explanation, I grinned as if I couldn’t believe such unexpected fortune. Just as I was about to appraise them, Jiyuchan stepped in to stop me.
“However, if any other party really wants a specific item, we have priority to buy it—and the priority right is set at 10 million points.”
“What!?”
They were spending a full 10 million points just for priority rights! It was a flex I couldn’t comprehend, but I swallowed hard and looked at the remaining people.
‘As expected from the Superior Races….’
True to their reputation as a wealthy race, they really do throw money around without hesitation.
Back in South Korea or on Earth, Points are scarce, so they value one Point at ten thousand won, but here they’re casually throwing around a hundred billion—the wealth gap feels starkly apparent.
In any case, after hearing that much, Dohyun nodded. Come to think of it, if an item was truly necessary, spending a hundred billion to acquire it would naturally be justified.
“So we can understand that priority rights can also be purchased and appraised accordingly, correct?”
“Of course.”
“That’s fair.”
“Well, I’d say that much is naturally expected.”
“I believe that’s an excellent policy.”
As Dohyun spoke, everyone nodded in agreement, and he immediately prepared to use Analysis to appraise the item.
Of course.
“Then let’s begin by appraising the elixir first.”
At Dohyun’s words, everyone’s expressions grew slightly tense. Some even swallowed hard, which made Dohyun wonder if he’d said something odd, but since everyone had their own thoughts, he immediately used Analysis on the elixir without hesitation.
And then.
『Deep Sea Thorn Seed』
▶「A seed from Davy Jones that possesses sharp thorns while withstanding the pressure of the Deep Sea.」
▶「Upon consumption, intangible thorns take root within the body, raising physical durability by two tiers.」
▶「By expending mana, you can cause thorns to sprout from your body.」
▶「The sprouting thorns possess a hardness two tiers greater than the body itself.」
“Hmm.”
As Dohyun’s expression stiffened slightly, everyone looked at the elixir with a hint of disappointment. If it seemed mediocre by Dohyun’s standards, it probably wasn’t that impressive an elixir after all.
But then.
“So it raises physical durability by two tiers, and upon consumption you can expend mana to make thorns sprout from your body, and these thorns have a hardness two tiers higher than the body itself?”
Wondering what kind of elixir this even was, Dohyun spoke in a lukewarm tone, but at his words, Jerome was the first to raise his hand, and then Ines, along with Hezway, raised theirs simultaneously and shouted.
“Ten million!” “Ten million!” “Ten million!”
Seeing everyone bid like that, Dohyun blinked. While he understood that increasing durability by two tiers was good, he didn’t see why sprouting thorns would be worth such enthusiasm. Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan blinked as they looked at them.
Hezway already had thorn-like horns protruding from his body, Ines already had ethereal wings sprouted from her back, and Jerome practiced Yggdrasil’s swordsmanship, which specialized in thrusting techniques, so thorns would be useful for him.
In other words, unlike humans, they were already accustomed to abnormal forms, so they naturally found it excellent. As the Dohyun Party, who were human, looked at them wondering what to do, Hezway naturally shouted.
“Eleven million!”
“!!!” “!!!”
At Hezway’s bid, Ines and Jerome quickly raised their hands and shouted.
“Twelve million!” “Twelve million five hundred thousand!”
“Thirteen million!!!”
As the place suddenly turned into an Auction House, Dohyun muttered to himself.
“How high is this going to go?”
