Chapter 114: Heimer's Reward (2)

Chapter 114: Heimer's Reward (2)

Theres no need to suspect Black Scythe-nim! Ive tried stabbing him myself.

Someone defended Ryu Min.

It was none other than Min Juri.

Her claim made the players, who were benefiting from her buffs, mumble in confusion.

Really, did the buffer try stabbing him?

Yes. I really did. I stabbed him, but it just made a ting sound and bounced off.

Hmm, well if the buffer says so

Its more effective when someone else defends you than when you deny accusations yourself.

As if approving this, the crowd nodded in agreement and turned away.

Ryu Min, reading their thoughts, couldnt help but be surprised.

Those who doubted me just a moment ago completely dismissed their suspicions with just a word from Min Juri.

It seems it felt too much for them to suspect both Black Scythe and the buffer, especially after receiving buffs for free.

Its a bit of a blow to my pride, isnt it? To be so easily suspected by others.

Is it more effective to draw people in with kindness rather than force, huh?

Oblivious to the turmoil she caused in others hearts, Min Juri whispered in a quiet voice with a hehe smile.

Black Scythe-nim. Did I do well? Dont worry. Ill keep your secret of being a traitor.

A traitor, huh? I dont know what youre talking about.

Ah, you dont need to play dumb with me.

Min Juri walked away with a light hum, smiling.

She distanced herself to avoid raising suspicion by being seen talking to Black Scythe.

Shes really enjoying herself, isnt she? Was she that eager to help me?

Min Juri, who had always received help from Black Scythe, couldnt contain her joy at finally being able to help in return.

But not far away, Seo Arin was watching this scene.

Regret was evident on her face for not being able to defend Ryu Min.

Ryu Min could only facepalm at the situation.

Why are there so many around me so eager to help?

He didnt really need any help himself.

Just then, a shout from the crowd broke the moment.

Monsters! Monsters!

To appear with just 10 minutes left!

Ryu Min knew.

This was going to be the last wave.

Should I go for a clean sweep this time?

Whoosh-

A curtain of darkness enveloped everything around.

Using the Death Night skill, which increased his attack speed by 50%, Ryu Min slaughtered the orcs.

And for the finale, of course.

Ssshhhing-

Moonlight Slash.

Flash-

The flash he released swept away fifteen orcs in a straight line.

[Your level has increased!]

His level had now reached 62.

This was a satisfying rate of growth, even before the experience point rewards were factored in.

After annihilating the group of orcs.

[Time to Destination: 00:00:00]

As the timer hit zero, the Dwarf Merchant Guild stopped the carriage.

Warriors from another world, we thank you. This is where your escort ends. Weve passed the dangerous areas.

Haimer, with his short arms, pointed ahead.

Our destination is over there. Well go on our own from here. You may return now. Thanks to you, we were able to transport our goods safely. Thank you once again.

After repeatedly expressing his gratitude, Haimer suddenly stepped down from the carriage and walked somewhere.

Following his gaze, there was Ryu Min, transformed into a Lostyak.

Haimer was holding Ryu Mins hand, personally expressing his gratitude.

Warrior from the other world, no, Ahead of The Pack. Im truly grateful for saving our lives.

Its nothing.

Although he appeared cool on the outside, Ryu Min was secretly anticipating.

Awaiting the reward he had been hoping for.

As expected, Haimer pulled something out from his pocket.

Its not comparable to the value of a life, but I would like to repay you. Please accept this.

Far from refusing, Ryu Min promptly accepted it.

[You have received Rune Fragment of Durability as a reward from Dwarf Blacksmith Haimer.]

Worried he might be asked to return it, Ryu Min used it immediately.

[Using Rune Fragment of Durability.]

[The acquired rune will automatically be engraved on the players body!]

[Rune of Durability]

-Effect: The durability of equipped items recovers at a rate of 1 per second.

Ryu Mins lips stretched into a wide grin at the awaited reward.

Great. Now I dont have to ask Russel to fix the durability anymore.

Until now, he had been returning to reality to get the Beads of Eternity repaired, but now that was no longer necessary.

Even without a blacksmith, he could now autonomously recover durability.

This means I can endlessly increase my stats while wearing the Beads of Eternity.

However, in the real world, there will be a very little use of the bead.

Because the stack only increases when monsters are killed.

Some might think they can increase the stack by killing mealworms, but mealworms arent monsters. Theyre just insects.

Only the Rune of Slaughter, which increases with each target killed, applies to mealworms.

But that doesnt mean its completely useless in reality.

I said there would be a very little use of the bead, not that it couldnt be used at all.

This implies that monsters can also appear in the real world.

Well then. I look forward to meeting you again.

After saying this, Haimer led his group away.

Once the merchant guild had disappeared out of sight, the same message appeared before all the players.

[You have successfully escorted the Dwarf Merchant Guild to their destination.]

[You have completed the Escort the Dwarf Merchant Guild Quest.]

[Shortly, everyone will receive experience points as a reward for a successful escort.]

[The amount of experience awarded will be twice the number of monsters you and your party members have killed.]

Whoa, is this for real? Twice the experience points for all the mobs weve killed?

Thats a lot, isnt it?

Since were a party, we all get the same amount, right?

Although it was regrettable that they couldnt identify all the traitors, the players spirits were lifted at the thought of receiving double the experience points.

Soon after the rewards were distributed, exclamations of amazement were heard from various places.

Min Juri and Seo Arin were no exception.

Wow, thats a substantial amount of experience points. Black Scythe-nim, my level has already hit 38.

Really? Congratulations.

What level did you reach, Black Scythe-nim?

Me?

As Ryu Min moved his lips, Min Juri asked again.

Sorry, what did you say?

Wondering if she had heard incorrectly.

Level 70.

It was a level worth being astonished about, after all.
