Madman in a Fantasy World

51. What do you think hunting is?

bomb.

It is a weapon that destroys a target by using the energy generated when a substance such as gunpowder explodes rapidly.

It is a simple yet highly efficient weapon that was created in the distant past and is still used today.

There may not be such things as C4 or nuclear bombs in the Middle Ages, but normal bombs, that is, drum bombs or ball-shaped bombs thrown by lighting a fuse as we know it, are normal.

But I haven’t seen anything like that yet right after possessing.

So, I asked the Marquis to take it to use on this hunt.

-That… Unfortunately, no.

Why don’t you use such an effective weapon? People here want to be sane.

‘Well, it’s more strange to wander around carelessly.’

There would be more terrorists if such dangerous objects were circulating everywhere.

Furthermore, bombs only work on monsters with a lower rank, so even if the rank goes up a little, there will be more team kills than monsters.

Anyway, since there are no bombs, we follow the soldier’s guidance and leave the Marquis’ Territory.

The Marquis’s territory was closer to the forest, but a short distance away was a desolate desert.

“That’s amazing…”

“Wow···.”

The moment they entered the desert, Luna and Yui let out exclamations.

The reason is that a single step in the forest turns it into a desert.

An artificial feeling that someone has drawn a boundary between the forest and the desert.

It was a place that did not appear in the novel, so I was also quite curious.

How the hell am I supposed to do this?

“Everyone who sees it for the first time reacts like that.”

hahahaha, that’s what the soldier with a good laugh said when he saw us being amazed.

Since the soldier works in the Marquis Territory, he must have some knowledge of the history of this territory.

“Why is this here?”

Yui asked the soldier a question with the eyes of a child full of curiosity.

How innocent those eyes were, just like a child who firmly believes that Santa Claus gives presents on Christmas Day.

The soldier who watched the scene answered the question with the feeling of seeing his nephew.

“hahahaha, I guess you’re curious about the history of this place?”

It is no joke that a soldier who is only 30 at most treats Yui, who is well over 50, as a child.

But Yui didn’t seem to mind that kind of treatment.

“Yes!”

“This is a place where a monster called Volcanic Kerapace Dragon swept through in the past.”

“Wow… is it just one monster?”

“That’s right. The monster is now sealed, but before it was sealed, you weren’t even born, so I don’t know the details.”

S-class monster tyrant – Volcanic Ceratopsian Dragon.

I know it well because I saw it in the novel.

At that time, the elves and humans who received the help of the World Tree cooperated and barely sealed the monster.

The description said it looked like a giant tortoise carrying a volcano on its back.

Destructive enough to turn a forest into a desert at once.

I thought it was S-class.

‘But the seal will be released later.’

I’m not very inspired by the novel, but I think it’s a literal disaster for people around the world.

If it were as it was, I wouldn’t have to see that monster, but the original work has already been twisted as much as possible due to the intervention of two possessors.

I thought maybe I might get involved too.

“Luna. How much money will an S-class monster give?”

“Is it possible to hunt the monsters that created this desert…?”

then. Monsters are made to be hunted, but what if you can’t catch them?

In fact, the only S-class monsters that are hunted in the main story are Volcanic Kerapace Dragons, and the rest of the S-class monsters are not hunted.

I think it probably didn’t come out of the side story… but I was possessed before the side story came out.

“Well… if you can hunt, maybe you can earn enough to play and eat for the rest of your life?”

“That’s really mouth-watering.”

I wanted to enjoy everything I enjoy in this world, and enjoy the life of an ignorant unemployed while spending the rest of my life lavishly.

It wouldn’t hurt to catch an S-class monster with that.

I was thinking of getting it someday anyway.

“Im here.”

As I followed the soldier while chatting with Luna, the soldier stopped and announced the arrival.

But there is only a desert, so what did you arrive at?

“Where are the monsters here?”

“Would you like to try this?”

The soldier handed me something that looked like a telescope…

“A magic tool that allows you to see far away.”

The horse was a magic tool, but it was just a telescope, so I used it as I knew.

A hollow crater visible in the distance.

At first glance, there was a large beehive on top of it, which looked like an ant hell, and numerous bees were flying nearby.

‘Did the Vespa do something to make money?’

Still, it didn’t feel as if the steam cooled down like normal bees, but each individual was 1m in size, the tail looked like a club with blunt spines, and the color was ocher as a camouflage in the desert.

At first glance, it looks like there are dozens of them.

At that level, it is difficult for a D-level soldier to handle.

“Use it… Bombs are perfect for comfort.”

I’m sorry.

There are no bombs when the monsters are gathered like that.

The scene where the monster explodes like a firecracker would be a good eye candy.

“What are you going to do?”

“Even if it’s a little cool, I just have to catch it.”

Even if it’s dissatisfying to just catch it, there’s no need to make plans against the fuck-up monster, right?

There is a saying that lions do their best when catching rabbits, but that’s just because they’re stupid.

It’s no different from saying that people do their best when catching ants.

We plan to catch passing ants and shoot nuclear bombs. But?

It’s the same reason as that.

I’m bored though.

“Yui. What do you think hunting is?”

“…Yes, four?? Hunting?”

“uh.”

“Is that… killing monsters and getting money…?”

“no?”

I took out a sword from my inventory and picked it up.

‘It’s enough to kill pests, but when that doesn’t work, I use fire to exterminate them.’

He poured oil on the sword he had taken out and set it on fire.

In that state, I walked leisurely in the direction of the bee swarm, and while wheezing, I heard the unique flapping sound of insects.

Then, recognizing the enemy as ‘me’, the Vespa flew towards me.

” Bap Doobie

Shop tobi doobi doobi doobi doobi dooba~

Doubap”

Every time I swung my sword in one hand and swung it to the beat as I sang, the bees burned and tore away.

‘Can I hunt this easily and get 2 gold coins?’

With 50 silver coins, I thought it was Changnyeol, but now that I see it, it wasn’t necessarily like that.

Even if it was C-class, it was not enough to compare it to Iron Golem or King Slime as it became C-class due to quantity.

“Earning money was the easiest thing in the world.”

[ Level Up! Check your status! ]

Leveling up was too easy.

After that, it went up 3 levels or more.

***

Less than an hour had passed since Luke left.

The Marquis Crown, who for a moment forgot everything else and put an ice pack on her face while doing her lord’s business, was taken aback by what her butler said after entering the office.

“You’re back…?”

“Yes. He is waiting for you in the drawing room.”

Huh… I knew to some extent from the time I was ordered to lure him in, but I didn’t expect it to be finished in less than an hour.

‘Unexpected.’

I tried to build up the fatigue by draining my strength even a little bit.

After -.

The Crown Marquis sighed.

“Yes. Let’s go now.”

It’s unbelievable, but there’s nothing to gain from the butler lying to himself.

The Crown Marquis put the quill in the holder and rose from her chair.

In that state, I went straight to the drawing room and opened the drawing room door.

“Hey, Marquis, welcome.”

A dark-haired man raising one hand.

When I look at those red eyes, I cringe involuntarily.

“Are you finished already…?”

“uh.”

“Can you show me the proof?”

“here.”

He pulled the Vespa’s wings out of the air and lifted them up.

The wing, which had the unique shape of an insect, was unmistakably Vespa’s.

Even taking an object out of the air without a subspace artifact was fascinating, but there were many things in the world that he did not know, so he decided to skip it first.

“Are you sure you really destroyed it?”

“If you don’t believe it, ask the soldier who went with you, because he was watching everything from behind.”

“…I see. Then, take out the request.”

I thought it might have been subjugation to a certain extent and getting the wings, but I guess that wasn’t the case.

It was good to bring beeswax and seal just in case.

The Crown Marquis put a seal on the request that Luke took out.

“If you are not busy, how about staying overnight?

“I’m not the type to give up on free stuff.”

With Luke accepting without hesitation, the Marquis Crown felt that the task was getting easier.

“Okay. We’ll tell the inn side.”

After seeing Luke leave the drawing room, the Marquis Crown also went back to the office.

and that evening.

A ray of yellow light flickered in the office of the Marquis Crown at a time when there should have been no one there originally.

The candle flame was swaying in the wind.

“Are you here?”

As he spoke, he got down on one knee in front of his desk and bowed his head as he bowed, when a woman came in through the window, not the door.

“Okay~ Looks like you did the right thing?”

On the woman’s back were wings and a tail that looked like demons.

Judging from that appearance, she was most likely not human.

From the outward appearance, she was a demon, and she was a nightmare, a nightmare Lilith.

“Yes. I dropped them all to each room.”

“Whooping—yes. I’ll do the rest, so rest now~”

Her voice had an alluring beauty that seemed to charm many men.

The Crown Marquis suppressed the desire to stare at her indifferently and said,

“Yes, yes! Thank you!”

Eventually, when the Crown Marquis lifted her bowed head, she was already in the room and had disappeared.

Right after that, a thick pink mist settled over the entire Marquis Territory.

That’s how Yeongji’s night deepened.
