037. Awakening (3)

Zeke robbed the head of the Adventurer’s Guild and obtained information.

And he didn’t even pay the information fee.

“Rank! I’ll guarantee you a rank even if you don’t catch monsters. Only those marbles!”

He held on to his ankle and begged, but he was only treated with a baguette stick.

baek! baek! baek!

“Keukeoeoeook. Buy, save! Lord, die!!! Porridge! Kkeuk…!!”

Oh right, this baguette monster is for exclusive use.

Zeke looked at the head of the union, who had been hit and bloody, with an embarrassing face.

But since I hit it with all my strength, it should be fine.

*

Having obtained such information, Zeke came out of the system.

and after a while

A group of adventurers returning to the island with a tired expression came into Zeke’s eyes.

“Stop it.”

“What!”

They drew their weapons and shouted as if they were wary of strangers.

Conflicts between adventurers are known to happen outside the islands.

No matter how close the system was, I couldn’t be vigilant.

In a physically exhausted state, the way back with achievements in one’s arms was especially dangerous.

As they approached, the adventurers staggered backwards.

Zeke held out a heavy pouch wrapped in a cloth.

The muddy-haired adventurer didn’t want Zeke to stick out something.

I accepted it with a suspicious face.

“What is this?”

“It’s a headache.”

“Hey!!!”

He let go of the pocket from his hand.

Tuuk.

Then, the cloth was undone, revealing a sunken head with white eyes open.

“What are you doing!”

A woman next to her pointed a knife and threatened in a sharp voice.

“I was just trying to ask for one request.”

“Of, a request!?”

“Yes, I just need to take this head and deliver it to the head of the adventurer’s guild.”

“Ahh. Is it a bounty hunt?”

At the word request, the man with tangled hair raised his voice.

“I’d like to go in person, but I’m busy right now, so tell him that I’ll visit you later.”

“Uh, how much will you give me?”

“It’s right in front of you, and since it’s regular delivery, I’ll give you 10 silver.”

“10 silver… … . That’s a fair price.”

“And he doesn’t have a bounty on him, so even if you try to eat the fruit, it won’t work. Just get 10 silver and deliver it properly. Then the head of the union will give you a little benefit.”

At Zeke’s words, the adventurers put on their faces.

“Then, please fill out the request form. Getting involved in strange things for no reason is a specification.”

“Yeah, got it.”

The adventurers took out a simple request form, and he roughly wrote the contents of Zeke and signed it. And I also wrote a lot of ps.

[This is your last chance. One more prank and this head will be yours. – Zeke Kleiman]

I gave 10 silver to the adventurers.

“The request has been accepted.”

“yes.”

Zeke saw the back of the adventurers returning to the islands with their heads packed again.

‘This must be something very important. Actually, magic tools are only used in the imperial family.’

Zeke tossed the marble in his hand upwards and caught it.

Thinking that I should put a filter on and listen to what it says.

Even so, send an assassin as soon as you leave?

Zeke’s tail was long.

* * *

And two nights later.

Zeke was hiding among the reeds with a muddy appearance.

‘Lizard Men. Seeing that the body is black, it is suitable for driving. The information is not wrong.’

They were active during the day and slept at night.

The place Zeke robbed in the past two days

4 goblin tribes, 2 werewolf tribes, and 2 lizardmen villages.

The result is 6 magic stones.

I still had to collect 4 more.

He seems to have already killed several hundred, but the probability of receiving magic stones was too low, even if it was low.

‘Iriel, you might be a little grateful… … ?’

In the meantime, Zeke went hunting without sleeping.

Physical fatigue felt stiff in the body, but rather a familiar feeling.

‘Ha, really. It reminds me of Dave Continent.’

Kill more monsters to get more Magic Stones.

Therefore, in order to efficiently supply magic stones,

The method Zeke chose was ‘sheep hunting’.

Zeke is trying to find out if the experience at that time is helpful on this continent.

As we did on the Dave continent, we tested the habits of monsters suitable for sheep hunting.

Fortunately, there were some differences, but almost all of them were common.

Goblins for sexual desire, werewolves for smell

And Lizardmen were sensitive to heat.

So, when you catch a goblin, you use herbs that have a heat effect, and when you catch a werewolf, you use an enchanting scent.

When catching Lizardmen, it was easy to chase them with fire.

In the Lizardman village, swamps were dug like puddles here and there.

There were houses woven with reeds.

Zeke observed several guards wandering around the village.

And when I got out of their vigilance range, I moved quietly.

Skip.

Zeke spilled the large bottle of oil he bought at the store as if it were covering the village.

Because of the dampness of the swamp, starting a fire with normal mana consumes a lot of mana, so this method was chosen.

‘I’m going to make sure not even one little mouse can escape.’

Eventually, Zeke, who circled the entire village in a large circle, lit a fire with his fingertips.

Roaring!

Little by little, the fire began to catch on along with the spilled oil.

when the fire has spread to some extent.

‘whirlwind’

Zeke’s bread swayed in a wide wind.

Whoo!

The fire that started small grows big and covers the entire village.

When the hot heat hit the hook, the Lizardmen who stood guard also noticed a strange feeling.

“Kreuk!?”

“Kreurreuk!!!!”

“Keureuk!! Kreukreuk!!!”

The swamp at night began to burn brightly, spewing black smoke.

Because the skin becomes infinitely vulnerable when approached by fire

The lizardmen who woke up in their sleep tried to run away and eventually gathered in one place.

What caught their eyes was an unlit exit.

A man stood in front of him.

Looking at the group of lizardmen united with cold eyes.

“There are about 50 lizards. I hope only 4 magic stones come out.”

Only then did they know who the culprit behind the arson was.

“Kreurreuk!”

“Kreuk!!!”

About 10 sturdy guys pulled out their claws and charged Zeke.

“First of all, let’s organize the assault troops.”

Oil in a big barrel

Even after covering all the villages, there was still a little left.

Zeke kicked the bottle with his toe.

Then cook the side of the bottle. sting

The bottle shattered with a clang.

‘whirlwind!’

The technique used to spread the fire was once again wielded.

Patter!!!

Then the oil soaked the body of the lizardman who rushed ahead like raindrops.

At the same time, the embers that splattered around the surroundings spread to the bodies of the Lizardmen who rushed ahead.

“Clark!!”

“Crack!!!”

They rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the fire with the dampness of the swamp, but it was too late.

Zeke, who kicked off and rushed in, was already in front of him.

Perong!

Perong!

Perong!

The heads of the people who were rolling on the floor exploded with the bread that was swung from Zeke’s hand.

Zeke finishes off 10 in an instant

He approached with a calm stride.

“I’ll beat you gently. It hurts if I move for no reason, so stay put.”

Seeing that, they staggered backwards, but were caught in the flames burning the surroundings.

I couldn’t do this and I couldn’t do that.

Then there were those who tangled among themselves and fell.

Whoo!

Perong!

Zeke is like a wolf in a sheep pasture

He waved bread and broke their heads.

A poisoned rat that is not allowed to escape.

As inevitable death draws near

Lizardmen, who are not warriors, follow their instincts

It exposed its sharp claws and teeth.

“Clark!!”

“Crack!!!”

Whoo!

Hung!

They attacked Zeke for life, but never touched him.

Even his own head was cracked and the blood bursting out.

*

Headless corpses piled up around Zeke.

‘It’s okay. A magic stone came out. It seems to take me longer to dig through this.’

Zeke rummages through the corpses of 53 lizards.

only got one

Since the size of the magic stone was so small, he could not swing the bread with ease.

It was lodged in the heart and exploded in the head, killing him instantly.

‘But now I just need to collect three more.’

The swamp was hard to find before with the charred reeds and the corpses of the Lizardmen.

The smell of burnt corpses lingered in his nostrils.

flutter –

So, open up the requests again.

That time when I was checking the location of nearby monsters.

I’m sorry.

Seeing the eerie feeling of living, Zeke quickly turned around.

In the darkness, I heard the sound of something huge moving.

“Shhhhh. shish. Shhh.”

A creepy wind blows through the darkness.

“This sound… … . Utra… … ?”

Zeke released his vigilance and induced the opponent’s vigilance.

Then a monster appeared from the tree.

A single eye with a red glow.

Teeth that are tightly packed like thorns.

Hair squirming and squirming with miasma.

The snake had four muscular arms attached to its body.

Each held a crude weapon in his hand.

This is not a romance fantasy.

The genre was different.

“Yutra is right. How is this guy here?”

Sieg tilted his head at the appearance of a monster he thought he would not be able to see here.

Yutra is a monster that cannot live in such a low mana place.

And in dark fantasy, he was tired of running into him.

The texture was chewy and the taste was not dirty.

“Can the people of this world catch this guy?”

If you look at the world’s military power as a standard, he was a guy who was located far above.

‘If the guy I remember is right… … . There must be magic stones.’

Zeke’s current body is weaker than when he was first summoned to the Dave continent compared to his Dark Fantasy days.

I can’t even use mana carelessly

Carrying a barrel of oil even when setting a fire

It’s a waste of stamina to use to chase the runaways

Attacking weak points, hunting sheep, etc.

Even if you deal with only 53 Lizardmen like that,

A body that has to do cumbersome work that needs to be held one by one.

If you look at it objectively, Yutra and Zeke

physical abilities or senses

Or, considering the use of magical power, it might not be an opponent.

But Zeke smacked his lips.

‘I don’t know why this guy is here, but it’s okay.’

I never thought I would feel so welcome to see a relationship from the past that I hadn’t seen in a long time.

The guy who was busy running away if he just gave me a life shot.

Zeke had been hunting this guy for 5 years.

From the 5th year, I didn’t hunt even if I ran into it because it was a waste of time.

It was because catching the demon king quickly could reduce much more damage than this guy.

Gnome habits, weaknesses, patterns, attack methods, evasion moves

For Zeke who knows all that

Even if there is a penalty of not being able to use mana

It was just a big game that took a little while.

‘It must be the feeling of hitting and catching bosses with a meta, a beginner’s job in the game.’

Zeke fixed the bread.

“Magic stone, give it a proper one.”
