Sacrificed the Ogre Mage's Head and Torso – Isra's Victory Parade
Isra the Knight walked over with dignified steps after parting the Ogre Mage's head and torso.
"Hahaha. How was my performance?"
“You did very well.”
“It’s only what a knight is supposed to do.”
“What are you talking about?”
I had a misunderstanding.
“You didn’t see the armor melted by the fireballs?”
I pointed at the Armed Zombie Warrior with my check.
After absorbing the Fireball head-on,
The armor that was supposed to take almost any attack had melted quite a bit.
“Those wounds are the knight’s badges.”
“Fixing that wound is my job.”
“…”
Isra the Knight kept her mouth shut tight.
“Uuuuu. Following the order of the captain of the knights.”
“I’ll overlook you.”
Why scold a guy with low intelligence?
I should scold the captain of the knights.
“I did it quickly for the safety of my lord.”
“From now on, do it while observing the situation.”
Ahh.
That’s why when I was E-rank I couldn’t command a bunch of undead.
Every time I cleared a gate the repair cost was huge.
Even after endlessly repairing undead and gaining huge hand dexterity,
After meeting Isra the Knight,
And acquiring Heavenly Martial Body,
I thought my hands would be less worn out.
But this happened?
“Thank you so much.”
“I will remember it.”
Ha.
Next time it should improve.
I didn’t believe it, but I had to come this far.
I let out an internal sigh and checked the acquired items.
The Ogre Mage dropped two items.
◈ Dryad’s corpse wooden staff with a body
◈ Magic sensitivity is good
◈ Will be hated by nature
◈ * Magic amplification Lv 21
◈ * Elemental resistance Lv 9
◈ * Very low probability of giving chaos Lv 10 when using magic
◈ Book with Fireball skill registered
◈ For Fire Element Mages
◈ Throws compressed fire mana as a projectile
◈ Can acquire Fireball upon use
“Still, you gave me a good spellbook.”
The close-range dealer exclaimed.
“Is it expensive?”
“Yes. Fireball has decent power and even area attack, so it’ll be around 5,000.”
That’s the money you get from solo clearing one D-rank gate.
Hmm.
How long has it been since I got promoted?
Already starting to lose my money sense.
Don’t lose your beginner’s heart, Minho.
“Is the staff okay?”
“Ah. It’s a bit.”
After the grudge-filled axe, there was something with a curse.
The staff doesn’t have anyone who can use it.
Even if I sell it, I won’t get much money, so I’ll store it for now.
I’ll make a Skeleton Mage and give it to him.
Fortunately there are corpses right in front of me that I can use.
◈ Space that can store corpses
◈ [1/10 → 2/10]
◈ The long shadow swallowed the corpse
Honestly.
Without this skill, I would have had to carry three spatial carriers.
Hehehehehe!
[Clear Reward: D-rank Mana Stone x100]
📍 Location: Challenging Realm
🎁 Reward: D-rank Mana Stone x100
100 mana stones packed in a leather pouch.
“Take half of them.”
“T-t-thank you.”
I have to keep my promise.
Since the mana stones I got during the clearance are mine.
“It’s a pity I couldn’t get the shattered soul stone.”
“Today isn’t the only day.”
“I’ll come back tomorrow too.”
“Huh?”
“Does everyone have schedules?”
“Ah, no.”
“Then it’s fine.”
“Just take the bus.”
How am I supposed to endure the money-copy event?
By the way.
Renting a forge every time I enter a gate is annoying.
Since I’m making quite a bit of money,
After leaving the gate, I should look into a personal workshop.
Baek Seonghyeon, manager of Chilseong Guild, checked the report.
“Another SSS appeared in the Challenging Realm?”
“Yes. Ten minutes ago.”
A special-class message was transmitted.
He moved faster than any other guild.
The personnel department could answer confidently.
“Did you find out the whereabouts of hunters near the gate?”
“Yes. We mostly checked.”
Baek Seonghyeon clicked his tongue at the hunter list.
“The data is lacking.”
Question marks floated above the personnel department’s head.
“Was it the best to come with names and grades of hunters?”
Baek Seonghyeon tapped the data.
“When did they awaken? When did they promote? How often have they entered the Challenging Realm?”
The personnel department’s back got sweaty.
“I don’t know. How do you check that?”
Time would have been enough, but
The information was brought right after hearing about the SSS-rank clearance.
At the moment when he was praising himself for knowing this much,
“I will investigate immediately.”
“When can I receive the report?”
“Three hours.”
“Two hours.”
“Yes.”
Baek Seonghyeon muttered as if organizing his thoughts.
“Hmm. He’s hiding himself quite well.”
At this point, a bad smell should be coming out.
He burst it because he couldn’t hold it in,
Or a witness appeared.
But nothing was caught.
That was the reason he requested additional data from the personnel department.
“The Challenging Realm. Can only enter with five people, right?”
“That’s correct.”
“I had the team members sign confidentiality agreements too.”
“He said there was a high chance of accidental clearing, right?”
“He seemed to get along with the hunters he met by chance.”
The important thing was that this big-rank hunter was cautious and hiding himself well.
“Could it be that scouts from other guilds already…”
“If so, they would have posted a grand announcement.”
An S-rank promoter who appeared after five years.
There’s no reason to stay quiet.
“He knows very well how to raise his own value.”
Schmaltzy.
Strategically raising one’s own value.
He can do it because he knows his own worth.
……That’s what Baek Seonghyeon judged.
“Did SSS appear in D-rank in Hanam too?”
“Yes. We’re checking CCTV.”
“He won’t go wild while doing illegal things.”
The personnel department held back a sigh.
The person who was just nagging isn’t supposed to say that.
If they secure CCTV and the result comes out,
Baek Seonghyeon was the one who gave the order first.
“Have you checked Director Jeong Seung-il’s schedule?”
The personnel department blinked his eyes several times.
While talking about the S-rank promoter, why did a Rift Bureau person suddenly come out?
Baek Seonghyeon clicked his tongue again.
“The report said the SSS-rank cleared gate was right before the break risk.”
“Ah. Then there must have been a worker there.”
“The hunter registration certificate, did you check who it was?”
The information was in the hands of the Rift Bureau.
High probability.
The man, Korea’s hero and the Rift Bureau’s legend.
Director Jeong Seung-il of the Counter-Abnormal Bureau will move.
“I’ll check immediately.”
Even this simple thing needs to be explained one by one.
Baek Seonghyeon was about to say something but held it back.
His employee had already exceeded his patience limit.
It’s the superior’s virtue to overlook a mistake even for an employee he doesn’t like.
If the personnel department knew what Baek Seonghyeon was thinking, he would have quit.
“The player was taken.”
But.
Baek Seonghyeon wasn’t greatly disappointed.
The essence of the Rift Bureau is a group of civil servants.
The conditions to show off aren’t high.
A dragon hiding and working hard to raise his own value.
Can the Rift Bureau handle it?
“Director Jeong Seung-il. Please guide us to that S-rank hunter.”
No matter what conditions are presented,
Chilseong will give double, or even more, rewards.
Instead,
The Rift Bureau intervening will only have the opposite effect of highlighting our conditions.
“This is top priority. Report it.”
“Understood!”
Flames of recruitment war.
The one who will smile at the last moment will be me.
Baek Seonghyeon was certain.
Impulsively started looking for a new workshop.
I searched on the real estate app if there was a good place.
“Didn’t you say it would be fine for a while?”
“Thanks to whom did it become bad?”
Look at the melted armor.
Eh?
Even if my body gets cut, I can fix it at the makeshift workshop in my boarding house.
I just need materials and mana.
But.
The one that was twisted due to heat needs to be straightened directly.
“Didn’t you say it wasn’t a separable structure?”
“I’m different.”
Before the Death Space appeared,
I wonder if I forgot how I moved Isra the Knight around.
Circuit separation takes a lot of effort, but that’s all.
Temp temporarily separated and then reconnected was possible anytime.
“Ah. I see.”
“It’s like going back to your roots and trying it.”
“I politely decline.”
I’m sincere.
It’s a shame.
A warehouse-type place near the boarding house.
That can release heat and is easy for storing things.
After contacting a place that satisfies both conditions,
I headed to Yongsan Hunter Market.
“Wasn’t it to go to the workshop?”
“I want to pre-order the contents.”
Even if I order, it doesn’t ship immediately.
At best, it would be tomorrow.
Pre-order and when the workshop place is decided, I have to ask for shipping.
“Welcome.”
I received the staff’s greeting and entered,
Chose a makeshift stove, a forging trough, and some other equipment.
“The makeshift one has low heat and durability.”
“Ah. I need something to use right away.”
The stove to place in the workshop is installed type.
The responsible staff members have to come and set it up in the space,
It will take quite some time.
The makeshift stove can be carried in the spatial carrier,
Since it operates on mana stones,
Emergency repair is possible inside the gate.
“When is the fastest shipping?”
“By morning.”
Oh.
Good.
“Then I’ll send the address later.”
“Send it before six.”
Crack.
As expected, South Korea.
Look at the shipping speed.
After that, I quickly bought only essential items and looked into workshop locations too.
I toured three places.
“Let’s go with this.”
Chose a warehouse ten minutes from the boarding house.
I even signed the contract right there.
“It’s burning hot.”
“I don’t have time to hesitate.”
There are plenty of bullets.
Instead of thinking more, it’s better to circulate the gate.
“Hahaha. I like that boldness.”
I wasn’t doing it to get praise from Isra the Knight, was I?
The next day.
Right after morning, I headed to the new workshop.
“Do I move this way?”
“Yes.”
Placed the makeshift stove and some workshop items.
Whoosh!
Immediately lit the fire.
The stove that operates on the selected energy source: electricity or mana stone.
Inside the gate, but in the workshop,
It was better to operate on electricity with expensive mana stone and add fuel to increase power.
◈ Temporary separation of the armor
◈ Clang! Kaang!
◈ Reinforced the melted part with extra bones
◈ [Bone properties are different.]
◈ [Mat density decreased by 5.]
It’s damn difficult.
Since cutting and strengthening is possible, can it be weakened in reverse?
I should buy Aulbeast bones too.
I was thinking of making more Armed Zombie Warriors.
“It’s easy to recover.”
“Isra the Knight, try it. Is this something that becomes easy?”
Look at the person sweating a bucket.
Isra the Knight. Do you have a conscience?
So in the morning, I organized the workshop and repaired,
In the afternoon, I cleared the gate.
◈ Entry condition: Below D-rank, max 15 people
◈ Giant dog-sized ants appeared
◈ [Clear – SSS]
◈ D-rank Mana Stone x100 given
Ant corpses give more mana stones,
Total 170.
No other items obtained, but
Just mana stones were nearly 80 million won.
“Shall I go one more?”
All the scratches on the armor.
I didn’t need to take out the makeshift stove from the spatial carrier.
“Good idea.”
“Uuuuu.”
At the moment I left the gate with that light heart,
A high-class sedan that wasn’t there when I entered was parked nearby.
Wow.
Isn’t that the Ben-00?
I heard there were less than 100 in the country.
Why is a car like that here…
At the moment I glanced curiously,
Click— the door opened and someone came out.
Wait a sec.
Isn’t it that person?
“Park Minho Hunter?”
“Ah. Yes.”
“I’m Jeong Seung-il working at the Counter-Abnormal Bureau.”
Huh.
It’s true.
One of the heroes of the Great Cataclysm,
And a famous person of the Rift Bureau active now.
Why is that person…?
“If you have time, how about having a meal?”
