Episode 170

Why are you guys coming out of here?

When I looked at them with suspicious eyes, Sir Isra cleared his throat with a “Ahem.”

“This country has a saying about not letting the left hand know what the right hand does.”

“Skip the introduction and get to the point.”

“We eliminated hostile forces.”

Weren’t you guys supposed to be having bonding time?

I thought so.

For spending all day wandering around outside, the card charges weren’t that much.

“I should have noticed when Sir ate so little.”

“Gasp! What kind of rude thing is that to say?”

I couldn’t even hear Sir Isra’s follow-up words.

To think they’d cause such a major incident without even telling me.

Ugh.

My head was throbbing.

“Rejoice. We’ve crushed the core of the hostile forces, so they’ll have difficulty operating for a while.”

“No. Why did you guys have to do thaaat…”

You missed the point.

My friend.

Sigh.

“There’s been quite a bit of talk about Min-ho’s Summoned Beings on social media too.”

Commissioner Choi Ji-woong showed me his mobile phone screen.

―A celebrity appeared in Myeongdong.

└ That’s Park Min-ho’s Summoned Being.

└ Summoned Beings can be that pretty?

└ But I’ve never seen that man before.

└ Look at him showing skin in the middle of winter.

└ Does he think this is Hawaii or something.

At this level, they probably had no intention of hiding at all.

CCTV was one thing, but I didn’t know their activities would be shared in real-time on social media.

I was busy fiddling with the [Primitive Heart] at the Death Forge during that time too.

“Still, thanks to the Summoned Beings’ activities, we were able to identify the Chinese spy organizations.”

“That’s fortunate. At least that is.”

“Though their methods were a bit excessive.”

“Did our kids cause a lot of trouble?”

“They took down everyone except for one survivor.”

A photo showing the interior of the secret branch.

What used to be people were stuck all over the walls here and there.

I squeezed my eyes shut at the sight that looked like it had been put through a grinder.

Kids.

Taking down the Chinese Hunters was self-defense, but didn’t this cross the line?

When I looked at them with reproachful eyes, the Three Scions all turned their heads away in unison.

“The one in charge was Sir Isra.”

“We only did what the lord told us to do.”

“Kehehehehem.”

Ah.

So Sir was the culprit behind this mess?

“You don’t need to worry about it.”

Commissioner Choi Ji-woong slowly shook his head as if to stop me.

“Didn’t Director Jeong say something like this? That these people don’t exist.”

“He did say something similar.”

“That’s how the intelligence world works. They don’t hold each other accountable, and when asked, they consistently play dumb.”

What a scary world.

“You announced the Turang attack last time though?”

“There was Jung Shin-ho’s case too, and we needed to come down hard to protect Hunter Park.”

Ah.

“Still, since you left one survivor, we’re investigating.”

“That’s fortunate.”

“The reason I wanted to meet today is because I have a favor to ask.”

“Yes.”

“Next time you execute such an operation, please give us a heads up in advance.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Ah. This incident itself is something we should be grateful for.”

Grateful?

If you say that about turning several people into mush, it shakes my moral compass, you know?

“Even if the Rift Bureau had discovered it, combat would have been inevitable.”

“So they were destined to kill and be killed anyway.”

“That’s always how things are in that line of work.”

Mmm.

How scary.

“However, the problem is that Hunter Park’s Summoned Beings’ activities were exposed in this incident.”

“That’s true.”

CCTV was one thing.

But having multiple photos taken and uploaded to social media is a bit much.

“If you let us know in advance, we’ll do our best to keep it hidden in coordination.”

“Wouldn’t that go against the Rift Bureau’s system?”

“Hunter Park is external personnel. We can’t ask you to follow our rules and regulations.”

Wow.

Is this what they call pleasure without responsibility?

“Instead, please try to avoid too many casualties.”

“I’m sorry.”

“No. Those people deserved to die, so you don’t need to hold your Familiars accountable either.”

So if there’s no legal problem, it’s okay to just wipe them out?

Hmm.

Even though he said that, I should tell the Familiars to show restraint.

“The second favor is whether you could hand over the materials you secured.”

“Materials?”

“When we interrogated the survivor, he said the intruders took all the important materials.”

I looked at Sir Isra once again.

“I left them in my lord’s room.”

So you did take them?

You really caused a huge mess.

“I’ll get back to you after checking the materials.”

“Thank you.”

Commissioner Choi Ji-woong bowed his head.

“Completely wiping out the Chinese spy organization is a great achievement and patriotic.”

“Ah. Yes.”

It feels awkward being praised for something I didn’t even do.

“Oh right. I mentioned the item lending matter to you before.”

I remember.

It was a proposal to lend items owned by the Rift Bureau.

With free lending and no time limit, it was practically giving them away, just without ownership rights.

“I received the message from Director Jung Seung-il.”

“Since you’re already here, how about borrowing some items today?”

Oh.

An event to boost my familiars’ combat power.

I’d be an idiot to miss this.

“Then I won’t decline.”

“The Rift Bureau is always receiving help, so we can finally do something for you.”

Commissioner Choi Ji-woong stood up with a genuine smile.

“I’ll guide you personally.”

“You must be busy though.”

“It’s none other than Ranger No. 1. I should make time even if I don’t have any.”

Well, if you put it that way.

What kind of items does the Rift Bureau keep in storage?

I’m already getting excited.

* * *

The path to the Gwalcheon Bureau Headquarters’ item storage was quite heavily secured.

Clank— Clank—

Doors protected by analog systems, electronic locks, and magical barriers slid open sideways.

I don’t know how many layers of security devices there are.

“It could withstand A-rank magic several times.”

“It would be difficult to break through with aura.”

“Hmm. Schne can’t immediately think of a way to break in either.”

Security devices that even my familiars praised.

After passing through doors protected by such a strict system, I felt strong mana waves.

[Blacksmith’s Soul]

I felt a tingling sensation.

Facing several high-quality armaments triggered an automatic response.

There were dozens of weapons stored in the vault.

[Moon’s Single-Edge Blade]

[Ignus Tis]

[Atlas Gauntlet]

….

All containing considerable mana, they were all Unique-grade items.

“I’d like to offer Epic-grade or higher, but they’re all on loan. Sorry about that.”

“This is more than enough. Thank you.”

“You can take five items that you need.”

Five.

More than enough.

I had already prioritized what I needed.

The first thing I chose was an orb containing five different colors.

[Elemental Orb]

Grade: Unique

Category: Weapon

Restriction: Mage class, minimum proficiency in 3 elemental magics.

Durability: 150/150

An orb containing the power of the four great spirits. It can store one spell for each element, and mana is amplified according to the number of stored spell attributes.

*Mana Amplification Lv 55

*Mana Application Lv 54

*Currently stored spells – 0

Ingrid has broad understanding of the four natural elements and attributes in general.

She can maximize mana amplification.

In a crisis, she can create variables with stored magic.

“Thank you, Master!”

“Kuk.”

“See? I’m the most beloved among the familiars, right?”

“It’s just a matter of order. It doesn’t represent our lord’s feelings.”

“Not first, right? Puhup.”

“Gaal!”

“The first sword isn’t much either.”

“You thief. Do you truly wish to die?”

I postponed Sir Isra because he already has the Unique sword made during the promotion exam.

Too bothersome to explain, so I let it slide.

The second item I chose was a sharp dagger.

[Obsidian Dagger]

Grade: Unique

Category: Dagger

Restriction: Warrior-class A-rank Hunter or higher.

Durability: 300/300

A blade made from obsidian containing polar night. Reduces presence when swung and easily penetrates enemy weak points.

*Thrust Lv 57

*Slash Lv 49

*Penetration Lv 45

*Second Deal skill built-in

[Second Deal]

Category: Combat Technique

Grade: A

Type: Active

When using an ambush-type ability, you can use that skill once more.

The skill used again must have 100% proficiency.

“Great Lord! This is a perfect item for Schne!”

“Be grateful for our lord’s generosity, you thief.”

“Isn’t the first sword the one who didn’t receive any items?”

“I’ll kill you.”

“Hiik!”

But what can I do.

The next item I chose was Roan’s weapon.

[Heaven’s Staff]

Grade: Unique

Category: Sacred Implement

Restriction: Priest class

Durability: 170/170

A staff made by refining blessed iron.

It amplifies sacred power.

*Sacred Amplification Lv 65

*A-rank and below sacred spells/holy magic rank increased by 0.5.

Spell rank up!

It’s not a full rank increase, more like a + effect.

Even that much noticeably amplifies skill power.

It was an option befitting a Unique grade.

【Master. Thank you.】

Roan’s telepathy trembled.

He seemed completely caught off guard.

This guy.

You’re also a familiar, so of course I have to take care of you.

Your big brother, you see, doesn’t like discrimination.

“My, my lord.”

Before Sir Isra could start crying if I delayed any longer, I gave him an item I had already picked out.

[Ogre Belt]

Grade: Unique

Category: Belt

Restriction: Warrior class

Durability: 270/270

A belt made from ogre hide. It is said that wearing it allows one to exert the strength of an ogre.

*Strength Enhancement Lv 70

An item with only the option of increasing strength.

That’s why I chose this one.

“This will fill up your power.”

Even when he was alive, Sir Isra actively utilized mana emission to overcome his frail physique.

It was the same after becoming a Revived One.

Since he had to be made in the same form as when he was alive for his rank to increase.

I couldn’t make him muscular like the Armed Zombie Enhanced.

I had enhanced his strength as much as possible with things like ogre tendons.

But there was nothing I could do about his pure physical strength being lacking.

“Ah, what a merciful decision this is!”

Sir Isra’s eyes blazed with fire.

“Can you feel how much our lord agonized over this? This is the difference between you all and me. Hahaha!”

“What are you saying, dead last.”

“Hahaha. You must hate to admit it. But the fact that I, Isra, am the familiar our lord trusts most has been proven.”

“My lord. Isn’t that crossing the line a bit?”

While the familiars were bickering, I slowly looked around at the other items.

There was still one more item I could choose.

I wonder if there’s an item that would help with swinging a hammer.

If there’s nothing useful, I’ll have to give Sir Isra another item or something.

As I walked leisurely among the items.

—Hmm, hmm.

A very faint telepathy brushed across my mind.
