Chapter 41 Cooking Place
[You get 800 zenny!]
A notification screen appeared when Leonid was killed. After that, Pippi's voice cheering in his head followed.
Isaac smiled in satisfaction.
'The leader is dead. It is just a matter of eliminating the remaining minions...'
His eyes darted around the 'Control Panel' screen. The red dots on the map began to disappear one by one. It was a sign that the number of people in the area had begun to decrease. Isaac then gave Pippi instructions to kill all the remaining members of the Siberian Knights Guild.
'Now, let's see how things are in the north.'
His gaze returned to the Crystal Core of the light projection screen. It was seen that Wang Mei and 20 of her men were running away from the monsters.
Isaac licked his lips. "Escape, huh? It's a wise decision. Looks like this is going to be a bit of fun."
He had thought that Wang Mei would fight the monsters out like Leonid. If she did that, her fate would end the same with the man.
Isaac didn't plan on letting Wang Mei live. He wanted to get rid of that girl and replace the leadership of the guild with her younger sister, Wang Yi. That way Isaac could control Nine Sky more easily.
His plans didn't go well, but at the same time, he was impressed.
"If she dies so easily, her abilities as a guild master and the holder of the Six Stars title are quite questionable."
Isaac sighed.
"For now, how's my future weapon of life?"
His hands waved. The light projection changed, revealing a group of Hunters battling a swarm of monsters. A young man looked very domineering. He fought at the very front, and he was very aggressive in slaughtering the monsters. There was no sign of fear on his face at all.
Isaac then checked the man's status.
<Information>
[Name : Guo Chen]
[Race : Human]
[Type : N/A]
[Class : A]
[Level : 14]
Isaac snorted.
"His technique and confidence have increased, but the development of his level is very slow. Even his 'innate skill' has yet to appear. Even though I gave him good Artefacts and sent him a lot of monsters. Looks like he is too focused on being aggro."
A frown appeared on Isaac's forehead. In fact, Isaac could change Guo Chen's mind by abandoning his comrades and focusing on killing monsters. However, if Isaac changed his mind too much, the Seed of Mind could damage the man's brain.
'Should I take him to 'that' place? But it's too early… No… he needs to go there. I'm sure he can handle it.'
Then, his eyes fell on another figure in the hunter group, a graceful young girl with long black hair.
"Wang Yi, it's time for you to do your job."
After that, his lips started to form a smile.

Fresh red blood flowed over the blade. The last hobgoblin of its flock had just fallen to the ground.
Guo Chen looked breathless. He didn't know how many monsters he and his comrades had killed, but the monsters kept coming; as if they were endless.
"Hey, are you all right?" A girl with long black hair approached him.
"I'm fine, Miss Wang."
The girl clicked her tongue. "How many times have I told you? Call me Wang Yi."
Guo Chen's expression was frantic.
"Is something bothering you?"
"Those screams… is it alright for us to ignore them? I think the other squads are in danger."
Wang Yi smiled. "No need to worry. I've contacted another squad. He said it was the sound of a bird monster that imitated a human voice. No significant problems. The squad coordinated quickly."
Guo Chen was still unsure. Then, Wang Yi approached and held his shoulders.
"Hey, calm down. Everything is fine."
In the end, Guo Chen chose to believe her.
Wang Yi gathered the entire squad members.
"Alright, let's continue the hunt. We're going to a hunting ground. According to the information gathered, there is a place rich with Power Crystals, but there is a den of monsters there."
Wang Yi's words immediately raised a question for all his squad members, including Guo Chen.
"Are we there to hunt monsters? Didn't the leader forbid us to enter the monster's den?"
"That's right, Miss Wang." The other members joined in. "Our goal is to hunt monsters in the forest to get them into the den, then we'll kill them together. It is the original plan."
Hearing her members' innocent words, Wang Yi smiled broadly.
"Did I ever say I was there to hunt monsters?"
Only then did all the members understand. The greedy expressions began to appear on their faces.
"Don't worry, I won't see anything while I'm there."
In the original agreement, they were forbidden from taking the Power Crystals or other items in the Dungeon. If it was the Guild Master's younger sister who sparked this idea, then they didn't have to worry. As members, they just follow the team leader.
The only one who looked disapproving was Guo Chen. However, he kept quiet.
Then, the entire team, led by Wang Yi, quickly moved.
Their destination was in the northwest. Their journey was fairly smooth, there were almost no obstacles at all. In fact, the frequency of the monsters they encountered had decreased.
The journey ended after they arrived at a large cave. The whole squad was a bit hesitant when they entered the place, but Wang Yi assured them everything would be fine.
Along the passage of the cave, there were phosphate minerals that illuminated the path. They also encountered various kinds of monsters; goblins, kobolds, blood-sucking bats, and snakes. They were typical monsters that experienced Hunters could beat.
They continued to explore and enter the depths of the cave until finally they touched the end of the cave. After arriving there, their eyes opened wide.
The whole room was doused by a purple light. The ceiling and walls of the cave were filled with the Power Crystals. Their size was much larger than the crystals in general.
"Wow! Look! We're going to be billionaires!"
The whole squad members cheered with joy. They quickly rushed up to mine, while Wang Yi just smiled sarcastically at their behaviour.
"Miss Wang—I mean Wang Yi. Is it okay to break the deal?"
Guo Chen, who was standing next to Wang Yi, put on a worried expression on his face.
"As long as no one knows, we don't violate the deal."
However, the answer he received made him feel like he was doing something wrong.
THUD!
Suddenly, a giant boulder collapsed and blocked the exit.
Guo Chen and Wang Yi were shocked. The muscles on their faces tensed up.
"Wang Yi, what should we do?"
The girl who was their squad leader just kept silent. Her hand was already wielding a sword. Guo Chen narrowed his eyes. He still couldn't grasp the situation.
Meanwhile, the other members became noisy.
"Our way out-!"
"What happened?!"
"Damn it! We're trapped here!"
Then, the nightmare just started.
"L-look at that!"
The cave's wall suddenly created a hole. From there appeared dozens of giant black spiders. They had three pairs of red oval eyes that resembled drops of blood.
Without a warning or signal, the spider monsters charged towards the Hunters.
"They're coming!"
After that, a scream echoed in the depths of the cave.
.
.
.
"Oh, it's already started. Now, it's all up to you, Guo Chen."
Isaac sent Guo Chen and Wang Yi to the 'cooking place'. That place had been designed to raise the level of his human minions. They could only come out after killing all the spider monsters that were in the place.
Of course, he wouldn't let them die. He had already arranged for the spider monster not to kill their target. Only the unlucky ones in Wang Yi's squad would die.

Isaac waved his hand, changing the visual projection of the Crystal Power. Then, his eyes opened wide.
"Gosh, this girl can't stop surprising me."
It was seen that Wang Mei was surrounded by her men. Their number increased, from 20 to 60.
Wang Mei not only managed to escape her members from being chased by the monsters, she also managed to gather several other scattered squad members.
"If she manages to gather the rest of the squads, my plans to finish off the Hunter on the 2nd Floor will fall apart. It's about time I intervened directly."
Isaac then put on a mask. Instantly, his originally white hair turned into black flames.
"I think this is enough."
After that, his body vanished, turning into shards of light.
