A Monster Hunter Born of Capitalism

“Running away seems hard. ”

“Yes...... Now you must face death." You can never go back alive. ”

“Did you just say never? ”

“Yes. You'll never make it back alive. ”

“You just said what you shouldn't have said. ”

“What is that…? ”

“There is no such thing as absolute! ”

Yooseong started running to Rich holding the Hidden Box with both hands.

“You idiot! What kind of idiot waits for a spell? ”

“Drag……. You think I'm gonna cast a spell without making a move? Rise, wall of bones! Viewed Month!”

Kugu!

As the floor split apart, a wall of white bones appeared in front of his eyes. But there was no problem.

“This chest is immune to physical attacks! That means! ”

I lifted the box over my head.

“It's fucking hard! ”

Boom!

“This is ridiculous...! ”

The wall of bones created by Rich has shattered. Rich couldn't hide his frustration.

“No way! I'll make you bone powder!”

Now all you have to do is swing the Hidden Box and smash Rich's head in.

However, unlike Rich's embarrassed expression, Rich's attitude was too relaxed. As if he had foreseen all this.

“Phew.”

“Smile?”

“You're stuck! Huhu! ”

Paz!

What is it?

On the floor where he was standing, a red light began to come out. On the floor was a magic circle painted with blood.

“The magic that was casting was a trick! I really prepared the magic of the essence! Drag to Hell! Huhu!”

Kuaaaaang!

A fiery flame rose from the enchanted camp and swallowed the body of the meteor. Where Yooseong stood, black smoke was rising in clumps.

Drag to Hell. This magic, the dark magic of the Seven Circles, was a magic created to complement the weaknesses of wizards who were vulnerable to one-on-one situations. Once hit by magic, it has the power to kill the opponent with certainty.

“Did you get rid of it? I was expecting a strong young man... Too bad... I'll have to wait for the next time..." ”

Rich, who had determined that he was definitely dead, turned around.

“I never thought I'd use magic like this against an adventurer. I haven't used magic for a long time, but I've become very weak too.... ”

Then, I heard the voice of Yooseong who thought he was dead in Rich's ear.

“I didn't think you'd set a trap. ”

“Wha...! Uh, how? How are you okay? ”

“I blocked it with a box. ”

“No way! There wouldn't have been time to stop Drag to Hell with a box! There's no way we can stop it! ”

“I fell asleep running with the box. So I could stop it. ”

“What……! Son of a bitch……! ”

* * *

"Wow, did I almost die? ’

It was bad luck. After I smashed the moon when I swung the Hidden Box, I had no idea. When I saw Rich's embarrassed face, all I could think was, "I won." I never thought there would be a trap. Just running to crush Rich's bone ache.

But I took a wrong step while I was running. I stepped on a small piece of rock at the bottom of the lab and the center of gravity was wrong. I was holding a heavy hidden box, so my body fell forward, and luckily, the Drag to Hell magic that Rich had hidden at that time was triggered.

The hidden box holding the meteor was located in the center of the Magic Cube where Rich hid it, and Rich's ambitious black magic struck the Hidden Box holding the meteor, not the meteor. So, Yooseong could be fine.

[Goddess of Practice: Richie Payne said exactly what he shouldn't have said. That's right. The resurrection spell, "Have you defeated it?" From that moment on, Rich's defeat has been decided.]

There are a few words you should never say when fighting an enemy.

The most famous of them is the Resurrection Spell. With this metabolism, even dying enemies can be healthy. I defeated it. It's the same spell as the Elixir and the Dance of Resurrection Spells.

“Thanks to you. ”

“You can't say that! ”

“Here it is! ”

Yooseong walked slowly to Rich with the Hidden Box.

“Oh, don't come! Stay back, Deathbolt! The Dark Hand! Von Sphere! Damn it! Why doesn't it work? ”

Fearful Rich stepped back and cast his spell, but Meteor swung the Hidden Box and stopped all of Rich's attacks.

In Rich's eyes, Yooseong casually approached with a hidden box, looking like the king of the hedgehog.

“This is a dream! This can't happen in real life! ”

Rich's fear has reached its limit. Rich's back touches the wall. There was nowhere to run. Ultimate fear caused tears to flow from Rich's white bones.

Yooseong opened his mouth as he approached Rich.

“Have you had a dream? ”

“Well, yes! This is a dream."

“Then keep borrowing. ”

Whee!

Yooseong decided to send Rich to the Dream Garden.

Yooseong slammed the Hidden Box over Richie's head.

Crisp!

Rich's skull was crushed. The bones of Rich, who moved by his magical power, lay flat on the ground.

“A dreamer cannot defeat a man who lives in reality. ”

Gurgle!

Tuck!

At the moment of Rich's death, the lock on the Hidden Box falls to the ground.

“My invincible magical shield! ”

The box was opened due to the death of the boss monster, the condition for opening the Hidden Box. I thought you said the key was coming out, but it was auto-opening. The physical and magical attack immunity effects of the original chest disappeared as soon as it opened.

“No, no, no! ”

Yooseong cried.

“Rich……. I caught it with a Hidden Box…… I hit Rich with a box……. ”

There was Titania with an unbelievable expression beside the roaring meteor.

[Anonymous God…….]

[Big Hammer: I can't believe I caught Richie in a Hidden Box. This is how you use it to break crates and prevent items from being left out. It's kind of crazy.]

Winter solstice: That's not normal either.]

[Atheist: I've fought men with all sorts of weapons in my life, and this is the first guy I've ever beaten with a box.]

[Boris: It's a good thing Richie was dead, after all.]

The chat window was loud because he killed a Class A monster, Rich, using an unbelievable weapon.

Numerous gods and spirits were astonished by this strange and surprising sight, and did not stop the support. However, Yooseong was still groaning, holding the Hidden Box, thinking that the invincible Magical Shield had disappeared.

“(* Sobbing *) My invincible shield... ”

It was a short time, but I was happy to be with Hidden Box. I felt like I had the whole world. I thought there was no dungeon I couldn't break with this hidden box that nullifies all magic and prevents all physical attacks.

Hidden Box! What dungeon are we going to next? What, we're going after Balock? Can I get him? Don't worry about me because I have you? Yeah! You don't have to worry about that! Hahaha! ’

I planned for the future, but it became a bubble. It felt like my heart was breaking.

[Goddess of Practice: Don't be a fool and pick up items.]

“That's right. You should pick up the item. ”

The torn chest of Yooseong healed faster than the light.

“What's coming out? ”

I opened the box of Hidden Yooseong. When I opened the Hidden Box, what I saw was a sparkling potion.

“What's this? ”

Essence of Agility

An essence made of all the ingredients that make the body agile. Permanently increases your body's agility with each intake.

“The Essence of Agility! This is a very rare item not available in the Point Shop! This will increase your Agility compared to the Elixir of Agility sold in the Shop! Bravo! Bravo! ”

The sight of Titania bouncing back is overwhelming.

Next, Yooseong approached Rich who was dead.

“First of all, this robe was used by Rich, so it should be a good item and this staff.... ”

Yooseong put the robes and staff used by Rich into the inventory.

“Are there any bones left? Can you use this, too? ”

Yooseong picked up Rich's skull. You pick up the skull and see a black jewel.

“Gems?”

Rich's Mana Core

Seven Circles, the Magic Achievement of the Mana Core. The massive amount of Mana that Rich has been collecting has been condensed, but has been contaminated by the Black Mana. Only priests of the cardinal rank can be purified.

“That's Rich's Mana Core. There are huge quantities of Mana, but Black Mana appears to be a bit contaminated and hard to use. ”

“What do you use this for? ”

“You can eat it like a medicine or an elixir. After ingestion, you can operate the mana air and make the mana in the mana nucleus your own. But it's contaminated with black Mana, so if you eat it quickly, it can be eaten by black Mana, making you a villain or a madman. ”

“That means eating that will make your mannequins bigger. Can't we just wake up and eat? ”

“Absolutely not. ”

“But never…. ”

“You don't have to die. ”

“Yep.”

Manazoru Han Yooseong, who was tempted by the fact that he could raise Manatong, was forced to give up after seeing Titania's gaze.

“Is this the end? If we get Richie, shouldn't there be some kind of grimoire or something? ”

“Rich can't carry a grimoire around. You have to find it yourself."

Yooseong began searching Rich's lab. What we found by rattling through Rich's lab were dozens of black magic books and stone tablets that Rich had hidden for research.

“Excellent. Is that why you're running the Hidden Dungeon? ”

“It's a big stable. Most of them are Class B or higher, and some are Class A. ”

“Then we won't have to go looking for the stable. This should be enough.”

I was supposed to get a cabin and a stable before I returned to the New World, but the stable is now over. All that was left was me.

“Yooseong, look at this. It's like Richie's journal. ”

Titania grunts with a thick book.

“Let me see. It's Dermoff's Undead research... His name must be Dermoff. ”

It was a book with a good title that revealed the purpose and content of the book.

I started going through his journal. The diary contained drug combinations that could strengthen the undead and experiments with the undead. The journal was filled with inhumane, unethical experiments.

“What a bunch of scum. ”

I didn't think that all the black wizards were bad. However, the Black Wizard and Dermoff in this journal were definitely trash.

“Suddenly I feel dirty. ”

I threw Yooseong's journal into my inventory. I didn't want to read the journal anymore.

Items have been collected and the boss monster, Rich, has been defeated.

It was time to go back.
