Chapter 99: Dungeon cleared
Chapter 99: Dungeon cleared
After taking some time to rest up and waiting for Blaze to wake up, we finally got up and headed over to where the Great Wolf's corpse had disappeared.
This Great Wolf's corpse had lasted for quite a while before disappearing, which was quite strange.
However, we just chalked that up to it being the dungeon boss which made it disappear so slowly.
In truth, it was because of the immense vitality of the Great Wolf.
As a physically attributed beast, it had a powerful vitality that had allowed it to remain alive even though it had been cut in half.
During that time, it had been staring at the group of humans, trying to figure out just what they were.
After all, it had never met such terrifying beings in its life before…
But in the end, it was impossible for the Great Wolf to hold on after being cut in half like this.
No matter how great their vitality was, they still died in the end.
Once they died, the corpse of the Great Wolf disappeared and the loot from it dropped.
The loot from the boss of a dungeon was naturally different from the loot dropped by the monsters that roamed the dungeon.
The magic stone alone was more than worth it since it was over five times bigger than the magic stone that they had received from the Howling Gale Wolf.
The Howling Gale Wolf was a special area boss, so its magic stone was also bigger than the normal magic stones.
This would certainly be worth a fortune and there was no need to discuss how to divide it since this was a magic stone.
They would just sell it and divide the money that came from it.
The other drops were fangs and pelts, but they could feel the mana that came from these items.
When they tried to stab it with a knife, the knife actually snapped in half.
That was just how strong these things were.
So there was no doubt that these things would sell for quite a bit.
Finally, there was a pair of shoes.
Once again, it was another magic item and the only thing that might possibly break the harmony of this party.
But I was surprised to find that they all didn't want it.
Once again, they gave this thing to me.
If only he knew that they had rejected it since they already had magic items and it would clash with the ones that they already owned…
Since the loot had been split, there was no need for them to stay here any longer.
With the guidance of the handlers, they were able to easily find their way back.
As for the dungeon core that was near the boss' territory, they didn't even look at it once.
They knew that if they destroyed this thing, they would have the Awakener Association on them.
Even if they were powerful future Awakeners, that didn't mean that they could go against the Awakener Association. Going against the Awakener Association was like cutting off the path to the future since they controlled everything.
So they just left this dungeon core alone.
When they came out of the dungeon, they found that there were still plenty of people around.
With the way that these people stood around, it was as if they had been waiting for them to come out this entire time.
When they saw their party come out, there were many people that looked at them with expectant gazes.
So exchanging nods, Blaze and Hayato came forward.
Blaze lifted up the magic stone from the Great Wolf while Hayato lifted the Great Wolf's fangs and pelt.
As soon as these items were brought out, everyone started to gush over them.
The people that were allowed to crowd the entrance were all Awakeners or reporters that knew their stuff. So they would be able to recognize how great these things were with just a single glance.
"It's the Great Wolf's pelt and fangs!"
"Also that magic stone!"
"As expected of the up and coming team from Elementia! I have to write my report on them!"
Hearing this, everyone except for Lin Fan revealed satisfied smiles.
This was the reaction that they were hoping to get.
Normally, they wouldn't care about things like this, but they had been asked to do this by their handlers this time.
This was their first time in a dungeon, so they would need to establish their fame.
Naturally the best way to do that was to show off their achievements with their loot.
After showing these off, they all turned to Lin Fan with expectant looks.
Lin Fan gave a sigh before coming forward with the pair of gloves and the pair of boots that they had obtained.
Everyone revealed even further shocked looks after seeing these items.
There was a silence that came over the crowd before someone said, "Magic item!"
The moment that this was said, the crowd exploded with different gossip.
But the one that reached Lin Fan's ears the clearest was…
"Look at him holding the magic items like that…he must be the porter for them. Otherwise it just doesn't make sense that they would bring a F Ranker along with them."
"That's right, it seems like the people from Elementia really are different. They can even use F Rankers as porters without care."
Lin Fan slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.
After all, the facts were there.
It was a fact that he was a F Ranker and he couldn't change that.
But to his surprise, Blaze suddenly went up to the ones that said this and said, "Say another word about our leader and I'll personally beat you up. Who cares if he's a F Ranker?"
Hayato quickly followed behind and said, "That's right, I'll go all out with you if you insult our leader like this."
"Leader?" The ones who had been gossiping couldn't help revealing shocked looks.
But with Blaze and Hayato pressing down on them, they didn't have time to think that much.
Since they were facing this pressure, the only way to relieve it was to…slander them more and use the crowd to force them back.
"A F Ranker is your leader? It seems that Elementia really has fallen."
Both Blaze and Hayato raised their fists, but before they could do a thing, their handlers had already moved forward.
As expected, they stood in front of both of them with raised hands to prevent them from doing anything.
When the gossipers saw this, they couldn't help letting out secret sighs of relief.
That was right, Elementia was one of the big guilds, they had their image to worry about.
So no matter what they said, they wouldn't attack them in public like this.
They couldn't help feeling emboldened by this, but they were quickly shut down by the handlers.
The handlers both came forward and said, "If you keep slandering our guild like this, I can promise you that our legal department will come for you. When that time comes, I hope that you will have a good lawyer to defend you."
The gossipers couldn't help being shocked at this.
They had thought that they would have the upper hand, but now…
Lawyers, that was a terrifying word.
They really wouldn't be able to defeat the legal team of a large and powerful guild…
So they couldn't help breaking down.
Seeing this, I couldn't help feeling a bit touched.
It seemed that I had really made a good impression on them.
