Chapter 44
Chapter 44: Rewards? Rewards! (1)
[Your party has defeated the dungeon boss, the Blind Guide.]
[You have obtained a total of 3000 P.]
[You have obtained a total of 3000 AP.]
The Blind Guide lived up to its reputation as a boss, displaying its full might.
And it granted us boss-tier rewards to match.
Both Jiyuchan and Hanalin had no choice but to collapse onto the ground, utterly exhausted.
“I thought we were going to die.”
“…Seriously.”
Though Jiyuchan couldn’t see, the overwhelming pressure the Blind Guide had unleashed nearly made him believe he was truly dying in that moment.
In fact, he had been mere moments away from actual death.
Hanalin hadn’t been quite as close, but she felt her blood run cold as she realized that if she hadn’t demonstrated the quick thinking to dodge using telekinesis and wind magic, she might have been the first to fall.
As both of them remained on the ground, recalling that terrifying experience, Dohyun chuckled softly and spoke to them.
“Let’s rest first. We can still rest in this dungeon before opening that chest.”
“Phew, right. That was the plan from the start, wasn’t it, Dohyun?”
Just as Hanalin said, it had been Dohyun’s plan from before we even entered.
Since we didn’t have to leave the dungeon until we received our rewards, we could use this time to rest and buy time before facing those guys again.
Jiyuchan also recalled this and nodded in agreement.
And beyond that.
“Right. But I think we need to rest a bit longer than expected.”
He even suggested we rest more.
That final pressure had been so overwhelming that even Dohyun had flinched, so he nodded in understanding.
After all, fighting to this extent while unable to see was an incredible feat in itself.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say we had exhausted our mental fortitude.
As evidence of this.

『Stats』
▶「Strength: 15」
▶「Agility: 18▶20」
▶「Stamina: 16▶17」
▶「Mana: 32▶33」
I could see that both of their stats had increased.
Jiyuchan’s growth in particular was remarkable.
Previously, he hadn’t been a match for Hanalin at all, but his growth trajectory had become steep—his primary stat, Strength, had now surpassed 30.
Of course, it was still too early to advance to D-rank, but with this rate of growth, I suspected he would soon match Hanalin’s stats.
I watched their growth with satisfaction.
Of course, I wasn’t watching them with satisfaction simply because they had grown—that wasn’t the real reason.
And it wasn’t just the two of them who had grown.
[You have successfully used Analysis to observe another’s stat growth.]
[All of your stats permanently increase by +1.]
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 30▶32」
▶「Agility: 38▶39」
▶「Stamina: 23▶26」
▶「Mana: 36▶38」
‘Wow.’
My stats really had increased significantly.
If I hadn’t issued the order, I wouldn’t have gained this much, but regardless, if Jiyuchan and Hanalin had known, they would have been quite resentful of my stat growth.
It truly was an enormous increase.
Even with the restrictions of the E-rank Zone, these stats would be unremarkable. I glanced around cautiously just in case, but no restriction message appeared.
‘Thank goodness. I’m not quite a game-breaker yet, so I can’t afford to be restricted already.’
Entertaining such shameless thoughts, I stopped joking around and reviewed the battle that had just occurred.
During the recent combat, I had utilized ultrasonic waves so effectively that I had essentially completely sealed one of the creature’s senses—its hearing.
While I couldn’t completely block it, I had sufficiently muddled its senses, making it remarkably easy to deceive the Blind Guide, who couldn’t see.
However, I was well aware of this ability’s limitations.
‘If it could see, I wouldn’t be able to use it this effectively.’
The reason this technique worked so well against the Blind Guide was precisely because it couldn’t see.
Against an enemy with sight, I could certainly cause considerable confusion, but it wouldn’t be nearly as effective as it had been just now.
Recalling that, I gradually came to understand how to utilize my abilities.
Now that I had fully grasped the power of ultrasonic waves and sonic roars.
I was ready to accept a new skill.
There was only one skill I could obtain right now.
It was the skill I had confirmed just before entering and deliberately left the message window open for.
[You have analyzed the skill 「Spirit Summoning[B]」 from 『Zerpael Nahdorin』.]
[You have successfully analyzed the skill 「Spirit Summoning[B]」.]
[You acquire 500AP.]
[This skill exceeds the standard threshold.]
[Will you acquire the skill 「Spirit Summoning[B]」 for 『800AP』?]
Zerpael’s Spirit Summoning.
I had also tried to acquire the Blind Guide’s skill, but something like serrated teeth was structurally impossible for me to learn.
‘Those serrated teeth would’ve looked really cool.’
It was truly regrettable.
In any case, I wasn’t the type to cling to things I couldn’t obtain, so I decisively let it go.
While the serrated teeth were a shame, there was something even better waiting for me!
When it comes to fantasy, it’s an essential skill that cannot be overlooked alongside magic.
‘Spirit Summoning, no less.’
I never imagined I’d obtain this so early in the game.
There was no point in hesitating. I immediately acquired one of Zerpael’s skills.
[You have acquired the skill 「Spirit Summoning[B]」.]
[This skill exceeds your current stats.]
[Your stats will increase slightly from their original level.]
[Due to acquiring this skill, your Mana permanently increases by +5.]
[You cannot use this skill at its original power.]
[Your Mana has exceeded the standard for this Zone.]
[In the E-rank Zone, stats do not increase from skill acquisition.]
‘Kkhh—!’
Spirit Summoning.
I had actually obtained the skill to summon those adorable creatures that are essential to fantasy novels.
On top of that, my Mana had risen to 43 as a bonus.
Now I couldn’t raise it through skills in the E-rank Zone, but since it could still increase through witnessing growth and offering commentary, I didn’t worry too much about it.
That wasn’t what mattered right now anyway.
‘Spirit Summoning!’
I immediately tried to activate Spirit Summoning, but as I felt it fail to activate, I sensed something was amiss.
And then:
[No contracted spirits exist.]
[You cannot use the skill 「Spirit Summoning[B]」.]
[You cannot establish a contract with a spirit using only the skill 「Spirit Summoning[B]」.]
‘…Huh?’
Analysis, Analysis, what are you talking about?
If Spirit Magic can’t contract with spirits, then what exactly is doing the summoning?
As my mind filled with such questions, Analysis, unable to bear it any longer, offered an explanation.
[「Spirit Magic [B]」is a skill that handles spirits after contracting with them.]
[You can contract with a spirit by directly witnessing one or by summoning one through the skill 「Spirit Summoning」 to establish a contract.]
‘Ah.’
There was nothing I could accuse them of fraud over.
If Analysis or anyone else had heard me complain, I would’ve told them to call the police.
I stood there dumbfounded, and soon my expression grew dejected as my head drooped.
I’d thought I’d be able to handle cute, adorable spirits, but there were such restrictions. It was disappointing, but there was nothing to be done about it.
With things as they were, there wasn’t much left for me to do, but I didn’t forget to give feedback to Hanalin and Jiyuchan.
I absolutely wasn’t venting my frustration.
“Yuchan and Narin, you both did well this time, but Yuchan, you should have prepared to release mana pressure beforehand to counter the final mana pressure. Narin, your attack was good this time too, but the fact that you felt mana depletion right after firing that one shot and couldn’t prepare a follow-up was significant.”
As they listened to my feedback, both nodded in agreement, but they tilted their heads slightly, noticing something oddly lacking in my tone as I delivered it.
It wasn’t as if I did strange things just once or twice.
Both of them didn’t pay it much mind and received the feedback, and I finished giving it before resting for a moment.
After resting for roughly thirty minutes, Hanalin’s mana had nearly recovered, and Jiyuchan’s and my stamina and mana were also fully replenished.
Then the only thing left was one.
“We need to deal with the remaining ones after collecting the rewards.”
“Don’t you think reinforcements might have arrived by now?”
“Probably.”
Jiyuchan, Hanalin, and I thought the same and reminded ourselves once more that we had no time to leisurely check the rewards—we needed to grab them and prepare to attack immediately.
While all three of us had grown here, it was undeniable that Jerpael and the Elf Tribe were formidable opponents.
Still, neither Jiyuchan nor Hanalin wore particularly dark expressions.
Rather, their expressions had grown brighter.
“Most of the Elves are Villains, so we’ll earn plenty of points.”
“Well, let’s finish quickly and get some rest.”
“Points!!!”
At the end, I spoke as if I were a Villain myself, and Jiyuchan and Hanalin glanced at me sideways. Without noticing their looks, I chuckled to myself and prepared to claim the rewards.
Hanalin and Jiyuchan shook their heads as if to say there was no stopping me, then prepared themselves, while I quickly opened the chest and obtained the rewards.
The rewards were a single book and a necklace, which I quickly checked before placing them in my large leather pouch.
As the dungeon disappeared and the landscape unfolded before us, I caught a glimpse of the Elves. The moment I saw them, I tried to attack. In that instant, I saw Analysis’s message appear before my eyes and my mind raced quickly.
[You have successfully analyzed the Secret Tome.]
[You obtain 1000 AP.]
[Do you wish to acquire 「Secret Art – Teleportation」?]
‘Huh?’
The moment I saw it, I acquired it, and simultaneously felt the secret art flowing into my mind.
A secret art that allowed me and all members of my party to teleport to any visible location.
I could tell it was a secret art that could only be used once per day.
And the moment I realized that, as the dungeon disappeared and I was ejected along with Jiyuchan and Hanalin, we teleported directly above the Elves’ heads.
Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan were propelled out of the Dungeon in an instant, yet neither Hanalin nor Jiyuchan showed any signs of panic. They simply understood that such ejection was possible within a Dungeon, and in the current situation, continuing the battle immediately proved advantageous.
The moment Hanalin emerged, she unleashed the same technique she had used against the Blind Guide.
A ferociously spinning stone spear descended from above, and the two Elves caught in its path exploded in a shower of blood. Jiyuchan, falling from the sky, utilized the platform Dohyun had created, accelerating his descent like an arrow rather than plummeting freely, and simultaneously extended his blade to sever the necks of two Elves.
Dohyun likewise descended with a fiercely rotating stone spear, leveraging the momentum to kill four Elves in total. This left only two Elves remaining.
One of them—Zerpael Nahdorin, their leader—watched as eight fell in an instant, his pupils trembling violently, yet he maintained his composure and cried out.
“Agni, the intermediate flame spirit, incinerate these wretches!!”
At his cry, flames bloomed from Zerpael Nahdorin’s hand, taking the form of a small humanoid figure.
The manifestation of Agni, the intermediate flame spirit.
As Agni materialized, Zerpael Nahdorin could not help but envision victory. An intermediate flame spirit was a formidable entity—one that could only be encountered as a boss within a D-rank Dungeon.
The intense heat radiating from Agni’s presence alone engulfed the surroundings, ready to incinerate everything in its path.
Yet the moment Agni’s gaze met Dohyun’s, the spirit blinked, then turned its body and directed its flames toward Zerpael Nahdorin instead.
“??????”
Witnessing the spirit’s unprecedented defiance, Zerpael Nahdorin blinked in bewilderment and stared at Dohyun.
“Huh?”
Dohyun’s expression mirrored the confusion equally.
