Desmond drove a car through an underground tunnel that was below their headquarters and reached almost three miles below the ground.His father, Harold Green, was sitting in the back. “Is it really necessary for me to observe a mere wyvern’s corpse?”“It’s not a mere wyvern, Dad. It’s a wyvern king’s corpse. And it’s not just any king, but the oldest wyvern king in history, Wyferon.”“Mm…” Harold squinted his eyes. “Almost a hundred years ago, a squad made of Wyferon’s children broke out of a dungeon and attacked our city. Many people lost their lives. My father and uncle stopped those monsters’ invasion, but my uncle died in the process. To think I’d be seeing that Wyferon’s corpse… maybe this is fate.”Dessmond drove the car straight to the chamber where the corpses of the wyverns were kept. In the middle was the wyvern king’s corpse, with the head and spine ripped out of the rest of the body.“This is quite brutal…” Harold opined. “It doesn’t like there was a two-way fight.”“Yeah,
There were three forever S-rank dungeons in the Venture city that haven’t been cleared in a long time. In one of these dungeons now lived the great army of Battle Ants. With numbers in trillions, they were an enemy so formidable, two of the four great heroes, Wise Servant and Sweet Beggar, had to be present there at the dungeon to keep them from coming out of the dungeon. In the second dungeon, the mighty dragon legion lived, ruled by the evil dragon king. One of the four great heroes, the Heavenly Swordsman who was known to be the strongest of the four heroes, was keeping these thousands of dragons at bay for years now. In the third dungeon, a myriad of monsters lived, with no particular ruler. From unicorns, griffins, and phoenixes to fairies, hydras, and cerberuses, all kinds of nasty monsters that could destroy a city in seconds resided in this dungeon which was like a world of its own. These three dungeons existed for many decades and came to be widely known as the Battle Ant
Wise Servant and Sweet Beggar were both lovers in the past. They wanted to marry each other, but then the Wise Servant cheated on him, and so the marriage never happened. Still, the Wise Servant felt so guilty she didn’t marry anyone and kept seeking Sweet Beggar’s forgiveness, even to this day.Wise Servant and Sweet Beggar were playing chess together now right outside the forever S-rank dungeon which looked like a giant scallop shell. The entire neighborhood was deserted by the people and sealed away because of this dungeon.“I beat you 999,999 times,” Wise servant smiled, her voice not strong enough because of her age. “If I beat you again, you are going to forgive me and say ‘I love you,’ as you promised.” She was 118 years old now with a bent back and many broken teeth. A couple of her front teeth were also missing.Sweet Beggar, who was 120 years old and had a face full of wrinkles, replied rather reluctantly, “I shouldn’t have promised back then, dammit. I don’t want to forgive
After hearing that Myles was personally training Mia in the underground chamber, Casey and Biskie rushed there.And Behold, the first thing they saw was Myles hitting Mia’s cheek with a rose, which left a blush of red on her cheek.Casey and Biskie stopped in their tracks. “D-Did you see what I see?” Biskie looked at her. She wasn’t expecting this type of training when she rushed here.“I-I want to train, too!” Casey quickly said and scuttled over to them.“This shameless, thirsty woman…” Biskie could only hiss under her breath as she also joined them. But she still didn’t like how Casey was smiling. It was a mix of an excited but also lustful smile, which reminded Biskie just what kind of a past Casey had.“I’m personally training Mia because she wants to unlock vera,” Myles tried to explain to them. “I can’t train you two right now.”“I’ll let you hit me with that flower… wherever you want,” Casey was swinging her butt to the left and right. Her face was gaining pink.“You sure?” My
Dusty stealthily entered the guild building, expecting there to be tight security. However, all he found was an old man mumbling something in his sleep.“What’s this? They have the dragon king’s item, and they’re this relaxed?” Dusty frowned. “Are they that confident in their abilities, or are they just that stupid?”Nevertheless, he kept his guard on and traveled in the hall while using the objects as his cover.He saw Sercy who was loudly talking at her reception desk.“I’m telling you that I will buy those lands!” Sercy was shouting. “Sell me those infested lands, you bastards! If you do that, We’ll become ghost-venerers for you and clear three dungeons of your choice in the next year. How does that sound?”“Five dungeons for three years is okay for me.”“Three years is too long, and five dungeons is too much,” Sercy said. “Three dungeons and one year is final.”When a dungeon breaks, the nearby lands and environment get corrupted. This would cause the value of that land to drop, e
Myles and Ria came to the canteen while Biskie and Casey were so tired and beaten they had to take rest in the basement training grounds. Myles wasn’t the one who fought them, but they fought each other to the extreme just to test them and so wounded themselves a bit too much.“Our guild has good core fighters now,” Sercy told them while they were eating crunchy leaf burgers. “We only lack a good healer. If we can get someone who can not just heal the wounds but also boost our skills, it’d be wonderful.”“Someone who can do those things will be in high demand,” Ria opined. “Do we have enough money to recruit such a person?”“Money? Screw that,” Sercy snorted. “I want someone who will willingly work with us and share our burdens and not expect too much in return. I don’t want those types that go after money and fame as they cannot fit into anything. They are only going to abandon you when a better opportunity knocks on their door.” She then looked at Myles. “You explored some districts
The glass cube was torn open like it was jelly, which genuinely dropped Sercy’s jaw for a second.Dusty was also not expecting that at all, but he grinned as he unsheathed his sword, ready to attack Myles. However, just when his eyes looked up and his gaze was set on Myles, he suddenly felt invisible pressure crushing him down from every direction.Myles was not even moving his eyelids, but Dusty couldn’t move. In fact, his body was trembling slightly. (What’s this feeling?) He looked very anxious. (This regal aura he’s giving… It’s as if I’m looking at Her Majesty. No, perhaps, dare I say… he’s even greater than Her Majesty Wiggles?)“Myles!” Sercy yelled. “How did you do that? I mean, how could you do that!” She quickly caught Dusty with her hand. “What if this little monster is more dangerous than we think?”“Then why are you holding it in your hand?” Ria asked.“B-Because he’s like a little doll,” Sercy said. “I feel like squeezing him to death.”“Eeek!” Dusty was terrified by her
In Basil District.Sercy and Ria were heading toward a certain address.“Why did we have to travel so far?” Ria expressed discomfort without hesitation. “Couldn’t you find any healer near our district?”“I could, but I doubt they can fully heal Judas and Master Glint,” Sercy replied. “Judas has been drinking a lot. I’m sure his liver and other organs are not healthy. We need a proper health potion that can improve his health significantly. And Master Glint also needs to drink a health potion because he’s not eating properly.”“His daughter died long ago, so why is he still depressed?” Ria asked.Sercy glanced at her with a bit of a surprised look. “You lack emotional depth. Were you not raised by your parents?”Ria frowned. “Do I have to be raised by my parents to know a father’s love?”“...Not really,” Sercy said. “Some lives can be explained by pen, but some… only by pain. By emotion. If we haven’t experienced the same emotions ourselves, it’ll be hard for us to put ourselves in oth
