Chapter 89
Chapter 89: Rewards and Status After the Calamity (1)
Though Dohyun spoke with casual indifference as he emerged, his appearance was utterly ruined. Drenched in the Deathworm’s bodily fluids, his upper body’s clothing had completely dissolved, and most of his lower garments had melted away as well—yet from his waist to his thighs remained intact thanks to the Dwarven Realm armor that shielded him.
Of course, even that sturdy Dwarven Realm armor had nearly dissolved completely. Yet despite his clothes and equipment melting away, Dohyun’s body bore not a single wound—pristine and unmarred.
The Attack Team members could only gape in astonishment at the sight.
The mere fact that he had ventured into the Deathworm’s body and emerged was miraculous enough, but to have no wounds whatsoever? It was starkly different from the image of humans, those deemed an inferior species.
Simultaneously, as the killing intent of the dragon-slayer’s will—still uncontained within Dohyun’s body—radiated outward in all directions, every member of the Attack Team could only swallow hard.
‘Such… such overwhelming killing intent.’
‘Ah, it seems unfocused because he’s still unaccustomed to it…’
‘Even that raw, untamed killing intent is absolutely dominating…’
‘An… an irresistible killing intent…’
The killing intent radiating from the dragon-slayer’s will that had consumed the dragon-kin made all races of lower standing—including the dragon-kin themselves—sense something extraordinary.
While the dragon-kin felt it most acutely, even the races of lower standing could not help but bow their heads before such a tyrannical aura. Even Bruton Bragon could do nothing but marvel.
Dohyun had thoroughly demonstrated just how powerful a human could become, leaving everyone with no choice but to swallow their saliva.
In that moment, two other humans approached Dohyun.
“Dohyun, you worked hard.”
“…For that final pathetic sword strike at the end—do you need to compress mana with killing intent infused into it?”
Hanalin approached to praise his efforts, while Jiyuchan questioned his final attack, and the Attack Team members could only stare in disbelief.
They had felt it before, but they could not help but be astonished at how casually Hanalin and Jiyuchan treated Dohyun, who displayed such impossible feats.
Moreover, could they not all sense the strength of those two as well?
Hanalin and Jiyuchan alone were formidable enough to hold their own against Bruton Bragon, yet their leader Dohyun was simply beyond words.
While everyone stood dazed by this incomprehensible sight, Bruton Bragon stared blankly at Dohyun’s Party until Dohyun approached, at which point he snapped back to attention with a start.
Then Dohyun looked at Bruton Bragon and asked.
“It seems the hunt is finished now. Should we disband?”
“Hmm, the Deathworm’s byproducts…”
As Bruton Bragon spoke and turned his head, he saw the Deathworm crumbling into black ash and vanishing into midair. Dohyun had apparently seen it too, as he shrugged his shoulders.
“There’s nothing to collect, so we should consider it effectively finished. After all, Zone Bosses yield no points whatsoever.”
Though they had suffered significant losses, since it was a Zone Boss that had to be stopped regardless, Bruton Bragon’s expression became somewhat bitter—yet he said nothing more, for Dohyun had essentially handled nearly everything.
In any case, when Dohyun nodded at the statement that the Attack Team’s role had ended.
“Then I’ll be on my way.”
Dohyun showed no hesitation as he prepared to leave.
Normally, skilled hunters avoided involvement in such situations precisely because defeating the Deathworm yielded no rewards whatsoever. All the Party Members had gathered here hastily upon hearing that the Safe Zone had been destroyed, but Bruton Bragon felt something almost sublime toward Dohyun, who had personally ventured into the Deathworm’s body.
And so.
“Take this, though it’s not much.”
“…?”
Dohyun tilted his head in confusion as Bruton Bragon suddenly approached and extended something toward him.
Bruton Bragon’s left hand extended—it was not merely a handshake. At the Black Gate, extending one’s left hand meant offering points.
Dohyun grasped Bruton Bragon’s hand without thinking.
[You have received 100,000P from 『Bruton Bragon』.]
“…???”
Dohyun looked at Bruton with genuine bewilderment, and the other parties, witnessing Bruton’s state, approached Dohyun one by one, extending their left hands as they spoke.
“We survived thanks to your orders. Thank you.”
“I’m truly grateful.”
“Your skills are remarkable.”
“I couldn’t just stand by either.”
[You have received 50,000P from Malle Wistung.]
…
…
(omitted)
[You have received a total of 300,000P.]
Dohyun glanced at the others with a somewhat exasperated expression upon seeing the message, and they all thanked him before departing.
As Dohyun watched the parties disperse, he thought of the items he’d obtained from within the Deathworm’s body, scratched his head, and then dismissed the thought.
Had Dohyun ever felt pangs of conscience in moments like this?
Hardly.
Dohyun walked toward the Dormitory with a cheerful grin, and Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who knew him well, regarded him with slight suspicion.
Considering how flustered he’d seemed when Bruton first gave him the points, they suspected he’d obtained something—and their intuition proved correct.
“Hehe, want to see what I got from the Deathworm’s body?”
Dohyun spoke with a beaming smile, and Hanalin and Jiyuchan, wearing expressions of “I knew it,” chuckled and nodded in agreement.
“As expected.”
“You got something.”
“Hehehehe, I caught a glimpse earlier—they looked quite valuable.”
At Dohyun’s words, Hanalin and Jiyuchan waited with anticipation, and before reaching the Dormitory, Dohyun ventured into a secluded alley to show them, reaching into his magical pouch.
Having already cleaned them with water magic outside, he withdrew three items with clean hands.
A crudely-fashioned dagger, a gleaming and sturdy-looking breastplate, and finally, an enigmatic triangular shape rested in Dohyun’s palm. Hanalin and Jiyuchan attempted to discern what they were, but unable to appraise them, they glanced at Dohyun.
Dohyun, as expected, analyzed all three, and the analysis results appeared alongside the previous message.
[You have obtained the items: 『Deathworm’s Small Fang』, 『Deathworm’s Scale Armor』, and 『Deathworm’s Crystal』.]
『Deathworm’s Small Fang』
▶「A small fang of the Deathworm, sharpened like a dagger.」
▶「When piercing a target, the wearer can use one of the Deathworm’s skills: 「Swallow[A]」.」
▶「When 「Swallow[A]」 is applied, if the target’s strength is inferior to the wearer, the skill activates completely; if comparable or superior, only partial application occurs.」
『Deathworm’s Scale Armor』
▶「Armor crafted from the scales of the Deathworm.」
▶「Extraordinarily durable, simply put.」
『Deathworm’s Crystal』
▶「A key to a dungeon in the C-rank Zone.」
‘Oh!?’
Upon analyzing all three items simultaneously, Dohyun’s eyes gleamed, particularly at the fang and the crystal.
A key to a C-rank Zone dungeon—naturally, the crystal appeared exceptionally valuable.
Whether it had originally been within the Deathworm’s body, it was the same during the briefing, and even when he’d remained to examine the Deathworm’s corpse afterward, no other items had dropped—it seemed this was an item obtainable only before the creature’s death.
Contemplating this, Dohyun marveled particularly at the effects of the Deathworm’s Small Fang, which resembled a dagger.
‘This is completely like that Kama-X shuriken from manga.’
It was one of the absurdly broken techniques that appeared in a certain manga, and as I examined the short sword—which was less good than outright overpowered—I glanced at Hanalin and Jiyuchan. Both spoke as though it were obvious.
“The short sword is yours, oppa.”
“We don’t even use short swords anyway.”
They naturally said it belonged to me. Since it was only natural, I let it pass and turned my attention to the breastplate, this time exchanging glances with Hanalin as we both looked at Jiyuchan.
Jiyuchan then acted like a child on a holiday just before receiving pocket money—pretending he had no idea it would come to him, deliberately avoiding my gaze while gesturing that he wasn’t expecting anything.
Seeing through Jiyuchan’s transparent act, Hanalin and I chuckled and spoke.
“Let’s give this one to Yuchan.”
“I was thinking the same thing.”
“Huh? Me? W-well, thank you.”
Worried that if he refused, Hanalin and I might take it back, he immediately thanked us and grabbed the breastplate, breaking into a grin.
It seemed he’d felt a bit disappointed when Hanalin received the staff earlier, and now that regret had completely vanished from his expression.
Though I could have used the breastplate myself, I’d already taken the short sword, and more importantly, it seemed slightly inconvenient for my style of moving freely, so I passed it to Jiyuchan.
Besides, I possessed the Guardian’s Regeneration skill, which granted me superior healing, so there was no need to covet it.
As I handed the armor to Jiyuchan, he asked me curiously.
“By the way, what’s the effect of this armor?”
“Huh?”
At Jiyuchan’s question, I was momentarily flustered and looked at the armor again, only to see another simple description appear.
Though it was more of a description than an effect, I scratched my head while reading it and spoke.
『Deathworm Scale Breastplate』
▶「Armor crafted from Deathworm scales.」
▶「Extraordinarily durable, nothing more.」
“Uh… it says it’s extraordinarily durable.”
“Oho! I see! Thank you!”
As Jiyuchan expressed genuine joy, I felt a twinge of guilt looking at the Deathworm’s small fang—which had an effect similar to that Kama-X shuriken, yet its description exceeded three lines—while his armor had such a simple one.
Of course, that was as far as it went.
And finally, looking at the last item, Hanalin asked.
“What is this?”
Though she didn’t seem to have high expectations, I explained in response to Hanalin’s curious question and gaze.
“It seems to be something used at dungeon entrances. We probably can’t use it right now.”
“Oh! It’s like a key, isn’t it?”
“A dungeon key, then. It must be for quite a difficult dungeon.”
The two of them reacted that way to my explanation, and I didn’t provide further details.
Even for someone as shameless as me, if I said something like “This opens the door to a C-rank Dungeon!” they’d naturally question how I could know something so specific, so it was best to stop my explanation here.
Calling it a dungeon key was vague enough to seem plausible.
After confirming all the rewards, I then distributed the points we’d earned this time.
Naturally, since I’d done the dirtiest work, Hanalin and Jiyuchan each took 50,000 points while I received 200,000.
As Party Leader, it was natural that I took more, but Hanalin and Jiyuchan felt that receiving this much from me—who even trained them—was more than sufficient.
I nodded at that.
And.
“Phew, let’s rest for today.”
Since the ordeal had been quite grueling, I suggested we take a break, and both Hanalin and Jiyuchan had no choice but to agree.
The moment we returned to the D-rank Zone, it felt like a warzone. The exhaustion that crashed over us was beyond words, so the Dohyun Party hurried back to the Dormitory.
Those who had evacuated at news of the Deathworm’s demise gradually trickled back, and the Dohyun Party was assigned quarters, quickly bathed, and fell into sleep.
Meanwhile, as the Dohyun Party slumbered, the Dormitory buzzed with activity.
“Wow, the Attack Party caught it in front of Sector 53 Corridor, I heard.”
“It was incredible.”
“There was a party that distinguished itself, wasn’t there?”
“I wonder who?”
Naturally, no one suspected it was the Dohyun Party, worn down by exhaustion and deep in slumber.
