Chapter 45
Chapter 45: A Reward? A Reward! (2)
After manifesting Agni, Jerpael had been certain of victory, but now he wanted to ask Dohyun what was happening—though Dohyun himself was equally bewildered.
During the battle, I had stared at Agni with a vacant expression, and in the chaos of combat, I’d dismissed the point acquisition message. But the new message that appeared moments later demanded my attention.
[「Spirit Mage[B]」combined with 「Ether Heart[S]」 and 「Sovereign’s Majesty[A]」 interferes with the contract.]
[「Flame Intermediate Spirit—Agni[D]」temporarily separates from its master.]
[「Flame Intermediate Spirit—Agni[D]」is temporarily strengthened by 「Ether Heart[S]」 and 「Sovereign’s Majesty[A]」.]
What on earth was this?
Analysis explained that my various skills were aiding Spirit Mage, allowing me to temporarily subjugate Agni. A sinister smile spread across my face, and sensing the ominous expression, Jerpael drew his blade—but it was already too late.
I swiftly reached toward Agni. Agni, inheriting my will, extended its hand and unleashed scorching heat, unleashing deep azure flames upon Jerpael.
Jerpael, attempting to slash the flames with his drawn blade, and the Elf beside him melted away together, leaving only ash before vanishing from existence. Agni, regretful as Jerpael disappeared, waved its hand toward me.
The battle ended in an instant, and Park Insu, who had been stationed at a considerable distance, burst forward before stopping short, staring blankly at the cleanly resolved situation with a dazed expression.
And Park Insu was not the only one left standing in that bewildered state.
The Hunters from the Korean Hunter Association who had arrived in response to the call from Park Insu, Jeong Sangyun, and Kim Jinha were equally frozen in place.
“Wh-what? The Elves…”
“They literally melted away???”
“Th-this is insane.”
Despite ten Elves being deployed, with Park Insu’s party included making thirteen in total, watching ten Elves vanish in less than a minute was enough to leave everyone speechless.
Having experienced the firepower of Dohyun Party, they couldn’t voice complaints.
Rather.
“Th-this is no joke, right?”
“Who is that party? I’ve never seen them before…”
“Three people overwhelming ten Elves???”
“And they look like they just came out of a Dungeon…”
“How is that even possible?”
Being Association members, they were accustomed to such support operations.
But this situation was entirely beyond their comprehension.
As everyone marveled and clicked their tongues, several of them turned to Park Insu with questions.
“Who are those people anyway?”
“Are they about to be promoted?”
“You called them, Park Insu—you must know something, right?”
“Are they Guild members? Or Association…?”
“…”
Everyone asked out of curiosity, but Park Insu had no real answer to give.
He knew almost nothing himself.
But there was one thing he could answer with certainty.
“They’re definitely going to be promoted soon.”
“…That’s true.”
“If those people don’t rank up quickly, what are we supposed to do to make a living?”
“Exactly.”
Everyone nodded at Park Insu’s words.
If the Dohyun Party didn’t advance, which party would?
In any case, with all the work resolved, they dispersed with talk of disbanding, and the Dohyun Party, having expended considerable focus, shook their heads in a daze.
And Dohyun, who had been the primary force, smiled with evident satisfaction while thinking to himself.
‘How much is all this?’
[You have defeated the Villains and acquired the Points they possessed.]
[Points are distributed according to Party Members’ contribution.]
[You have acquired a total of 26351P.]
I had acquired a staggering 26351P.
‘I think I’m going to get addicted to hunting Villains.’
In any case, with one matter resolved, it was time to return to the Dormitory.
* * *
First day in the E-grade Area Floating Island Parvie.
The Dohyun Party could be said to have spent their first day more productively than any other party.
Upon arriving on the first day, they earned nearly over 2,000 Points through hunting, and on top of that, they annihilated a Dungeon and two Elf Parties—accomplishments that would be nearly impossible for any other party to handle, yet they managed all three.
As a result, what they gained was considerable.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to form a contract with Agni.
Since I was already under contract with Jerpael, it seemed overlapping contracts weren’t permitted.
Still, it wasn’t a major disappointment. Just the skills I obtained were substantial.
From Secret Art—Teleportation to Spirit Magic, even without the contract.
Not only the skills, but the Points alone were astronomical.
『Points』
▶「P: 32266」
▶「AP: 12800」
‘Wow.’
Dohyun’s jaw dropped as he gazed at his Points.
A digit count he’d never seen before.
If converted to currency, the Points amounted to over 300 million won. Moreover, with AP so abundant, there was no need to exchange it, meaning this could genuinely be converted to pure money.
‘This is insane, seriously.’
The 15 million won in student loans that had slipped away in one go yesterday seemed trivial compared to this massive sum, and Dohyun found himself smiling despite his efforts not to.
What’s even more remarkable is that this is only the first day.
Perhaps due to exhaustion, Hanalin and Jiyuchan had washed up upon returning to the Dormitory and immediately collapsed into sleep, but Dohyun couldn’t sleep because of all this.
Moreover, Dohyun took out and examined the item he’d obtained from defeating the Dungeon Boss this time.
[You perform an Analysis on the 『Blind One’s Necklace』.]
『Blind One’s Necklace』
▶「Upon equipping, all senses except sight are enhanced.」
▶「Enhancement can extend beyond the five senses to other senses.」
The explanation was concise to the point of simplicity, yet what it contained was substantial.
A necklace capable of granting even a sixth sense—its effects appeared to be quite remarkable.
Typically, when such items drop, Hunters receive appraisals from Appraisers before using them. If one distrusts the Appraisers, there are occasionally items like Stone Tablets—items called Appraisal Stones that disappear when used to appraise non-Hunter items.
But what use would that be to Dohyun?
He already knew the abilities through Analysis.
Still.
‘Since the entire party caught it together, let’s discuss it first.’
Since it wasn’t just his, Dohyun decided to consult about it tomorrow, and once things settled to some degree, his excitement gradually subsided as drowsiness began to wash over him.
Thus, the day in the E-rank Zone came to an end.
* * *
After Zerpael’s death.
A small disturbance rippled through Floating Island Parvie.
While Elf deaths weren’t common, they occurred from time to time.
However, their numbers were small, and since they always traveled in groups of exactly ten, complete annihilation was even rarer. In other words, the total destruction of Zerpael’s team and his support team—ten Elves in all—was particularly unprecedented.
At first, after Zerpael’s death, they hadn’t known, but gradually contact couldn’t be established, and when several Elf leaders sent their party members to the area Zerpael oversaw to search for him but failed to find him, those leaders gathered together.
“Is it true that Zerpael has disappeared?”
“Hmm, though arrogant, he was a capable fellow who could summon mid-tier flame spirits. It’s strange that he vanished so easily.”
Certainly, Zerpael’s disappearance was shrouded in mystery.
One of them recalled such a Zerpael and spoke.
“Could he have discovered a Dungeon and is clearing it?”
“Zerpael? Impossible. Even if his skills were decent, he was merely average among our Elf Knights. He was no better than us.”
But the denial came swiftly.
Through Dohyun’s Analysis, Zerpael’s trait grade was B-Rank—a high grade, but not overwhelmingly so. And that assessment wasn’t unique to Dohyun alone.
The Elves were a superior species with a long history, so talented individuals were discovered quite frequently among them.
A skilled individual like Zerpael wasn’t common, but neither was he rare.
That’s why this was all the more baffling.
A skilled individual like Zerpael wouldn’t abandon his mission, and this mission was particularly important—to verify the prophecy and discover who the prophecy’s protagonist was.
Everyone had been intensely focused, yet Zerpael’s sudden disappearance had thrown everything into chaos.
But there was another problem.
“Once today passes, the day the prophesied Dungeon should appear will have passed.”
“It was said to appear before a fortnight elapsed, yet during that entire period, we haven’t even glimpsed a trace of the Dungeon.”
“Which means….”
The Dungeon was never discovered.
With clues laid out this plainly, even a fool could understand.
Though an unsettling thought, someone had to voice it, so one of the Elf Leaders spoke quietly.
“…Hmm. Someone has already cleared it, and Zerpael discovered this and tried to apprehend them, but was defeated instead?”
“That seems most certain.”
“The problem is we can’t know for sure.”
The Dungeon’s location left no traces and vanished, so they couldn’t determine who had cleared it. Thus, they needed to find evidence of a battle between Zerpael and that party.
The Elf Leaders had already ordered the Elf Party Members to search the area Zerpael oversaw thoroughly, so it shouldn’t take long.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before several Elf Party Members appeared, bowed their heads, and delivered their report.
“We’ve discovered a location bearing traces of combat.”
At those words, the Elf Leaders moved without hesitation, and the Elf Party Members guided them to the site.
The five Elf Leaders arrived at a location bearing only the unmistakable traces of a decidedly one-sided battle.
Two remarkably deep craters, as though colossal pillars had been driven into the earth itself.
And two long, deep gashes carved into the ground.
Finally, a single mark where the ground had been melted and hardened into a glassy, brittle, gleaming surface.
The Elf Leaders’ expressions darkened upon witnessing this.
Particularly at that final mark, their brows furrowed deeply.
The craters remained a mystery, but the long gashes were unmistakably the work of swordplay. Yet that final mark was something no Elf could fail to recognize.
“A Spirit.”
“Mid-tier or higher—comparable to Agni’s power output.”
“No, perhaps even surpassing Agni.”
“…It bears the mark of Cyan Flame. Agni’s superior.”
Unaware that Dohyun had been temporarily strengthened by drawing power from the Ether Heart, the Elves classified this as a Spirit superior to Agni.
And thus.
“There exists a Spirit Mage who surpasses Jerpael.”
“That one was a Spirit Knight, so even a Spirit Mage of equal rank could best Jerpael, but to wield Cyan Flame at this level….”
“It means they possess skill rivaling our own, at minimum.”
The five Elf Leaders reached this conclusion and their expressions grew grave.
They could only conclude that the figure prophesied to open a new transcendence was a Spirit Mage of considerable mastery.
And after reaching this conclusion, the five Elf Leaders spoke among themselves.
“This must be reported to the higher-ups.”
“The Elder Council won’t take this well.”
“There’s no helping it.”
“We investigate further regardless.”
“All Spirit Mages in the E-rank Zone must be investigated.”
Because of Dohyun, innocent Spirit Mages would face unexpected scrutiny, yet Dohyun slept soundly, blissfully unaware.
Of course, even had he known, he likely wouldn’t have cared much.
