Chapter 47
Chapter 47: The Pride of the Craftsman Clan (2)
Most E-rank Floating Islands that possessed Safe Zones had only those zones, while many others—designated as public islands—lacked Safe Zones entirely.
However, Hasven Island stood apart from the other Floating Islands in a peculiar way.
It was extraordinarily dangerous, teeming with monsters, yet when the Black Gate created this island, had they considered the safety of Hunters to some degree?
Despite the overwhelming number of monsters, unlike other public islands, it did possess a Safe Zone. However, it wasn’t large enough to form a proper village, so no particular race had claimed it as a stronghold.
It was best to think of it as simple cabins where exhausted hunters could rest.
That’s why those eager to earn points quickly often sought out Hasven Island in the E-rank Zone. Since a Safe Zone was available for rest when fatigue set in, it offered greater security compared to other public islands.
As a characteristic of Floating Islands, a Portal was installed in the Safe Zone, making it a refuge even if one was driven there by Villains.
And on that Hasven Island, there was a party hunting relentlessly.
“This place is absolutely incredible.”
“Phew, tell me about it.”
“Quite something.”
Hanalin and Jiyuchan, drenched in sweat alongside me, could only agree with my assessment. Monsters appeared with every slight turn of the body—it was truly a point paradise.
It had been three days since we began hunting on Hasven Island.
In other words, it had been four days since we entered the E-rank Zone.
During that time, Hanalin and Jiyuchan, along with myself, had grown considerably.
『Jiyuchan』
『Trait: Platinum Sword King [S]』
『Skills』
▶「Swordsmanship [A]」
▶「Sword King’s Intuition [A]」
▶「Mana Control [D]↑」
▶「Overwhelming Pressure [E]↑」
▶「Sudden Strike [E]↑」
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 30▶37」
▶「Agility: 25▶28」
▶「Stamina: 24▶27」
▶「Magic Power: 26▶31」
『Hanalin』
『Trait: Sorceress Supreme [S]』
『Skills』
▶「Ether Heart [S]」
▶「Empress’s Majesty [A]」
▶「Intermediate Elemental Magic [D]」
▶「Intermediate General Magic [D]」
▶「Intermediate Conceptual Magic [D]」
…(More)
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 15▶18」
▶「Agility: 20▶25」
▶「Stamina: 17▶23」
▶「Mana: 33▶38」
Jiyuchan’s growth was particularly remarkable.
His strength had already surpassed mine, and it had grown comparable to Hanalin’s primary stat—mana.
Of course, I had achieved considerable growth as well.
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 32▶35」
▶「Agility: 39」
▶「Stamina: 26▶29」
▶「Mana: 43」
With increases focused on strength and stamina, my stats had become an odd hybrid—as if someone had blended Hanalin’s mana specialization with Jiyuchan’s strength-focused build.
My stats had grown to a level where attempting a rank-up would be reasonable, but I wanted to place far greater emphasis on the points themselves.
The points we earned in a single day amounted to roughly 3,000 P.
We were essentially earning the equivalent of defeating a dungeon boss in points every day.
By today, we had managed to accumulate an additional 9,000 points or so.
『Points』
▶「P: 41,986」
▶「AP: 16270」
‘Now I’m not even intimidated by the Association President’s status window.’
Once we left the Black Gate this time and used these points to purchase Han Muyeol’s skills, I suspected we’d achieve truly absurd growth.
As I savored this satisfaction, I noticed that both Hanalin and Jiyuchan were quite exhausted.
No matter how obsessed with points I might be, I wasn’t so mad as to ignore my party members and grind endlessly, so I spoke to them gently.
“Should we head back?”
We’d already met our quota of 3,000 points, and continuing further would only exhaust them needlessly. At my words, both nodded.
They were certainly tired, so they agreed, and both rose from where they’d been resting.
As I watched Jiyuchan and Hanalin stand up simultaneously, I opened a path toward the Safe Zone, and before long, Hasven Island’s sole Safe Zone came into view.
As always, there were many Heterogeneous Beings present, and I was efficiently recharging my AP by scanning their status windows. Then.
I spotted a short Heterogeneous Being.
With a thick beard and mustache, possessing a diminutive stature, yet impressively muscular throughout—a warrior’s physique.
A Dwarf, one of the two great races alongside the Elves.
‘Interesting.’
So there were Dwarves here too. As I examined the status window, I could tell this was a warrior of considerable caliber.
『Talgreen Anvilson』
『Trait: Lava Combatant [B]』
『Skills』
▶「Axe Mastery [B]」
▶「Heat Resistance [B]」
▶「Mana Control [D]」
▶「Craftsmanship [C]」
▶「Bellows Work [D]」
▶「Leap [E]」
▶「Perception [E]」
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 40」
▶「Agility: 26」
▶「Endurance: 38」
▶「Mana: 21」
※This is a Dwarf.
※Hunters Killed: 11
[『Analysis』 has succeeded.]
[You obtain 500 AP.]
‘Interesting.’
Seeing that only eleven hunters had been killed, I figured this one must be a relatively minor villain compared to others.
After all, I alone had already killed at least eight hunters.
Dohyun quickly scanned through what seemed like decent skills and acquired them.
Axe Mastery could be learned anytime, so I skipped that, but I managed to acquire three skills in total: Heat Resistance, Leap, and Perception.
Though I obtained Heat Resistance, Leap, and Perception, unfortunately I couldn’t gain additional stat points in an E-rank Zone, so my stats didn’t increase.
Still, acquiring skills was something to be pleased about.
As I gazed contentedly at my ever-expanding skill window, Hanalin asked me a question.
“Do you know this person?”
“Huh? No. Let’s head back.”
After saying that and returning to Radon through the Portal, the Dwarf I had been observing until moments ago tilted his head and muttered while watching me.
“Hmm, looks like some kind of necklace that boosts perception.”
As Talgrin muttered to himself, the other Dwarves looked at him and asked.
“What is it?”
“Hmm, I think I spotted a worthwhile item.”
“You mean those humans from earlier?”
“There were only three of them.”
“But what kind of item was it?”
True to their reputation as the Craftsman Race, another Dwarf showed interest in the item, and Talgrin nodded in response.
“Yeah. One of them was wearing a necklace that appeared to be an item that enhances perception.”
“Perception?”
“An item that boosts perception, huh! Impressive!”
“If it boosts perception, it’s famous for also raising intuition to some degree.”
“Casting pearls before swine, that would be.”
True craftsmen, the Dwarves revealed their greed upon spotting such a rare item.
Watching them, Talgrin chuckled and nodded.
Since the secondary effects of perception-boosting items lay in enhancing intuition, most Dwarves coveted such items as one of their prized acquisitions.
Thus, Talgrin revealed his greed as he spoke.
“Since inferior races can’t appraise things accurately, if we attempt to trade with items we’ve crafted, you’ll just take whatever we offer without complaint.”
Talgrin, grinning wickedly, nodded as he pulled a long greatsword from a fist-sized leather pouch that had been in his inner pocket.
“Honestly, trash like this would make you ecstatic to exchange for it.”
The moment Talgrin noticed Dohyun’s item.
Dohyun, who had already returned to Radon, scratched his head at the peculiar tingling sensation and looked down at the necklace he was wearing.
As he read the signals his senses were conveying, he could instinctively feel it.
‘Ah! Tomorrow, something good will happen thanks to this necklace.’
Through training his senses, he’d developed the ability to interpret things to some degree, so Dohyun rested at the Dormitory, hoping tomorrow would come soon.
* * *
Thus, the next day in the Safe Zone of Hasven Island.
On the fifth day since the Dohyun Party had entered the E-rank Zone, Dohyun arrived at Hasven Island in an exceptionally refreshed mood.
Based on the sensation he’d felt yesterday, he could infer that something good would happen because of the necklace, but since he was relying on intuition, which was often wrong, he wasn’t completely hopeful.
Watching Dohyun, who appeared to be in a good mood, Hanalin and Jiyuchan wondered why and kept their eyes on him.
‘Did he find a dungeon?’
‘Did he spot a villain targeting us?’
The two, who now knew Dohyun so well, scanned their surroundings with some anxiety, but there were no signs of a discovered dungeon or villain.
They could fight and clear if they encountered one, but they preferred to just hunt, and suddenly both Hanalin and Jiyuchan fell into similar thoughts.
‘If we get good loot from a dungeon, wouldn’t he accept it if we suggested taking a break?’
‘If we catch a villain, we’d have met our points for the day, so wouldn’t we just head back?’
With the thought that they might get a day of rest, Hanalin and Jiyuchan also brightened up.
With Dohyun looking happy too, their party was quite harmonious.
They looked so joyful that even the Heterogeneous Beings around them whispered as they watched the Dohyun Party.
“This is the first time I’ve seen a Human Party walking around laughing like that.”
“You live and learn.”
“Aren’t humans usually terrified and tense?”
“They must be out of their minds.”
Just as everyone was naturally stepping aside, as if they’d sensed something odd about the Dohyun Party, those who blocked their path appeared.
Beings with a height about half that of the Dohyun Party.
They were Dwarves of the Craftsman Clan.
The moment Dohyun saw Talgrin among them, he recognized him as the Dwarf he’d seen yesterday.
But why was he blocking the way?
As Dohyun looked at them with a puzzled expression, Talgrin, standing at the front, looked at Dohyun and spoke with his cheeks quivering.
“Are you wearing that necklace right now!?”
Seeing Talgrin cry out with his cheeks trembling, even Dohyun was startled and had no choice but to look at him.
The small commotion drew the attention of the surrounding Heterogeneous Beings, and they all looked at Dohyun and Talgrin, wondering what was happening. Talgrin paid no mind to the surrounding reactions and kept his eyes on Dohyun, while Dohyun nodded and answered to Talgrin’s words.
“Yes, the necklace seems to have good effects.”
Though he actually knew the effect, for some reason he felt the necklace telling him not to speak the truth, so he answered vaguely, and Talgrin’s eyes widened as he looked at Dohyun.
Then.
“I stake my craftsman’s pride on this! That necklace is cursed!!!”
His words carried such weight that Hanalin and Jiyuchan, standing behind me, gazed at my necklace with trembling eyes, while the other Heterogeneous Beings looked at me in shock upon hearing his declaration.
Yet I observed Talgrin, whose eyes were blinking rapidly, and a thought crossed my mind.
[You have analyzed the Dwarf’s lie.]
‘Does he lack pride?’
