chapter 17
17 – Black Dust Wolf
f*ck. I knew it would be f*cked up.
That’s what I immediately thought after landing safely on the ground. The feeling of barely living on the threshold of death.
[You have defeated the S-class black wolf boss!!!]
[You have acquired 1,200 SP.]
[You have acquired 1,000,222 gold.]
The money is getting more and more left over, and it’s to the point where I don’t know where to spend it.
The important thing is not those two, but these two.
[Acquired new active skill – Speed.]
I wanted to try it right away, but I decided to stop because I thought it would surprise Ga-yeong next to me.
[The level of Nemesis has risen significantly.]
[Curse of Nemesis Lv. 22]
[Additional effect – Curse of Blood has been added.]
You finally showed up. A skill that increases mana in exchange for physical strength. Right now, the mosquito is at the level of sucking blood, but if you level up more in the future, you may come to a situation where your stamina runs out just by pulling out the sword.
Before that day arrives, you should hurry up and acquire the ability to recover from super regeneration. While staring at the black sword, Gayoung came over and checked the situation.
“Are you okay?! I jumped up and down the height of a 5-story building.”
If you replace it with reality…
I felt like this when I used to ride the Zydrop ride. It seemed that all the strength in his body was drained, but he calmly nodded.
“Is it over now? Really… Is that bastard dead?”
“Yes. I’ve killed the last boss. It’s really over.”
She swallowed her saliva and she asked the same question one more time.
C. I can’t believe it, that’s why
I went into her half-destroyed house and brought back family photos that I couldn’t recover. When I handed her picture to Ga-young, she lowered her head as if to cover her tears.
“Stop going. Your mother must be worried.”
“…”
Meanwhile, the black dust that had covered the village gradually began to disappear. Soon the sun was pouring down with the blue sky.
“Uhhhhh…”
Looks like it wasn’t just the sunlight pouring down.
***
Inside the inn.
My mother carefully cleaned the dusty frame and hung it on the wall of the inn.
“Wizard. How should I repay this favor…”
“A cup of oji tea is all you need.”
Just then, her youngest daughter came over and handed me a cup of tea.
“Is the wizard very strong?”
“Yes. It’s very strong.”
“Very, very, very…”
From words to actions, gradually extend both arms to the side.
“This much?”
“Would it be bigger?”
“Then this mankeuu…”
I almost fell, but Gayoung caught me.
“What are you doing?”
“Uhehehe. Didn’t our stupid sister bother you?”
“Hmm…”
I don’t think it helped. Ah. You cast a spell to make breathing easier. The atmosphere is good, but I have to say empty words.
“It helped me a lot.”
“That’s a lot. I’ve become a real burden.”
“Why do you give me compliments?”
“My personality must have been twisted because I resembled your father.”
“They’re both noisy!”
Then I heard a knock and looked at the door. I was waiting for the chief of staff, but for some reason the head of the Witchbeast Association also appeared.
“Ohhh! Really. This is so ridiculous. Yeah.”
“What are you doing here? Chairman.”
Three people exchanged greetings with the president of the association with a lot of tension.
“What happened. I came to check on everything.”
While doing so, I examine every nook and cranny of my body. He puts on a pretty surprised look at his unscathed appearance.
“What an amazing young man. He took down an S-class beast and didn’t even get hurt.”
“As expected, you are SS!”
“I do have one wound.”
His elbow was chapped from being ignorantly thrown with a gust of blade sword earlier. When I showed it, the president of the association laughed heartily.
“Huh. That’s how cheap it was.”
I was joking, but her youngest daughter brought her medicine and applied it.
“I’ll even put a bandage on you!”
“Thank you.”
The sound of cars outside is constantly heard. I wanted something, so I asked the president of the association.
“Ah. Don’t be surprised since we are members of the Witchbeast Association. From now on, our Witchbeast Association will do our best to help rebuild the remote village. I called for him.”
“Very well, mother.”
She wiped away her tears and went on with her words.
“Yes. The head of the Beasts Association and the S-class wizard SS. Thank you very much to both of you. Please come visit our village again sometime. Then, we will not be in a shabby inn like now, but rather, we will take you to a nicer place.”
“Well, it’s okay here.”
“Brother! If you come, I’ll ride Ojicha for free for the rest of my life. Or should I send it by courier?”
“Not bad.”
Current time around 4:00 PM. It was time to leave the inn thinking that I should return to the academy soon. Gayoung was holding my hand and hesitatingly, he didn’t know what to say.
“Do you want to go now?”
“Yes. I have to go to the academy. What kind of club entrance exam is held on Sunday…”
“It’s really the same. My heart is still pounding because of that monster from earlier.”
She smiled shyly and then threw out these words.
“I… I really felt that I was lacking in this fight. I will study harder and enter Delaon next year.”
“Yes, man. It kills my personality.”
“My, what’s my personality!”
Her mother, who was next to her, and her youngest daughter nodded her head as well.
“Don’t you nod?!”
And before leaving, I told them to keep the fact that I came and defeated the demons today. It’s because I can’t handle what’s going to happen.
“I know. An angular stone is right. I’ve felt it a lot too.”
“You just have a bad personality.”
“I’m good enough!”
Unfortunately, no one agreed with her words. Meanwhile, the president of the association touched his beard and hinted at this.
“If that’s your concern, could you use silence magic?”
“No. That looks too villainous.”
“Heh heh. It’s like that too.”
Then her youngest daughter raised her hand and said:
“Well then! Why don’t you pretend you got it? Ughhhhh. I’m under a silence spell. I can’t speak.”
Everyone was at a loss as to how to react, but Gayoung opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.
“What are you doing? Stupid.”
“…My sister is more stupid. I can say this.”
“This little thing is real.”
Involuntarily, I laughed.
“I might miss this atmosphere.”
“Come play again! Wizard.”
“Yes.”
Three people saw us off in front of the inn until we flew far into the sky.
“How was it? Black Dust Wolf.”
“I was scolded for being covered in dust. I want to go to the dormitory and take a shower.”
By the time we were talking about this and that, the voice of the president of the association became quite serious.
“It’s actually a horse. I came to tell you this story. Did you know that it’s a seasonal guild?”
“It’s strange not knowing.”
Seasons Guild.
Since it is currently the largest guild and the youngest daughter of the guild leader is Choi Yu-eun. In the original work, they are intertwined very, very often. She even wondered if there was only one guild here.
“I sent someone there to investigate the identity of the SS.”
It must have been Choi Yoo-eun’s order.
I was guessing. Her hobby is memorizing the Demonic Encyclopedia. She is desperate to gather talented people there. She must be paying attention to the SS that suddenly appeared.
“Should I take care of it in advance?”
“You look like a villain from before.”
“Heh heh. It’s too much. It’s just for you.”
But she didn’t seem to need to do anything beforehand. Choi Yoo-eun isn’t even a bad character, and she rather uses SS to approach her?
***
The next morning, Sunday. Choi Yoo-eun’s dorm room.
There is still an hour left after preparing for her club entrance exam.
‘It’s a bit early, but are you looking at the encyclopedia?’
She usually starts updating in the morning and ends around night, but she had a hard time waiting because of the SS and the unknown wizard.
“Hmm…”
Isn’t it? Hey, I defeated an S-class monster last week, so can I act right away? It’s not easy to update the encyclopedia every week.
No wait.
She was found in the car when she was about to turn off her phone.
[S-rank Black Dust Wolf Boss]
[First occurrence area: remote village.]
[A wolf beast that can transform its body into dust. In the case of the boss, it is said that it can be combined with a pile of dust to increase its size.]
[View details (touch)]
[Registrant: SS.]
“What is this…!”
Is it possible for a person? How can you catch an S-class monster on a weekly basis and register it in the encyclopedia? In addition, the rank of SS that was not there last time. [S-class wizard] Was written on it.
She immediately called her butler.
“Ah, Mister. Have you read the Beast Encyclopedia?”
“Yes. I was about to call you anyway.”
I started to feel impatient.
At this level, it’s only a matter of time before others find out.
“The description of the Blade Gust Wolf has also been updated. It was sealed by Lee Ye-seul, an S-class wizard, but was recently killed by the SS.”
“…”
There are only 3 S-class monsters already killed by that person. How is this Leaving behind the speechless Yoo Eun, the butler’s words continued.
“By the way, lady. Unfortunately, there seems to be some difficulty in investigating the SS.”
“Yes?”
“The president of the association even cast a silence spell on the members of the Beast Association and the villagers in the village where the SS visited.”
Until the Silence Magic?
It’s poisonous. Why do you want to hide it so much?
“I see. It will be difficult to follow him any further.”
“Speaking of which. How about using an information trading site?”
A place called an information trading site, also known as the black market. In this world where information is power, it is a place where you can buy information with expensive money.
However, we cannot guarantee that all information posted here is 100% correct. Most of them are scammers with false information.
Just searching for SS showed more than 1,000 transactions. Is there any real information among these?
[Sell SS information, 222% refund in case of fraud.]
Yoo Eun couldn’t stand the laugh that burst out.
“I’m going to take the club entrance exam.”
-Yes, lady.
