Chapter 94 – Ant Goblin (2)

Henry cleared the dungeon at a rapid speed.

The monsters were weak, and even in the darkness, Henry was in a position where he could accurately grasp the enemy’s location.

Thanks to advancing without hesitation, Henry was able to cut down over a hundred monsters in a short time.

Woopwoop presented new guidelines according to the changing situations.

At first, it was fixed at 5,000 won per creature, but in the case of large monsters, it was 10,000 won.

He even promised to double the amount when creatures that were more than twice as large compared to before emerged.

[It’s not like he’s calling out wholesale prices at a dawn market lol]

[If he’s going to do this, why not just price it per geun lol]

[But their reactions are somewhat uncomfortable. Seems like something that would appear in a horror game lol]

[They’ve slightly gone crazy overall, right?]

Henry was also in the middle of agreeing with the viewers’ thoughts.

Namely, not about the sponsorship per creature, but about the fact that ‘they had gone crazy overall.’

No matter how much he cut them, these small monsters did not feel fear. For they simply stared blankly at Henry’s face until the moment they died.

“It is strange. When they saw me, they were busy fleeing while squeaking.”

Viscount Ryugo’s words added to the doubt.

They were certainly creatures that easily grew scared when they poked their faces outside the ground.

However, they did not do so here.

The dungeon was gradually leading deep underground, and as they advanced, the monsters became progressively bolder.

In particular, there was another reason that made Henry feel uncomfortable.

“The ones beyond the walls are also looking in my direction. What the viewers said was correct. These creatures share their vision, and perhaps we must treat all the monsters here as a single entity.”

Henry delivered the fact he realized only to Austin.

He could not tell Viscount Ryugo.

Since Ryugo was in a position where he did not know what Henry’s eyes could see.

Fortunately, Viscount Ryugo was a man weak to authority.

“You seem to be establishing a plan.”

Merely because they were accompanied by a Royal Knight, he treated the two trainees like superiors, and even backed away as if he had no intention of interfering.

Austin’s face turned serious.

“A habit I’ve never heard of. No monster I know behaves in that manner. Sharing vision?”

“Right? It’s a species not even taught at the academy.”

“What about Sir Melissa?”

“It seems she knows.”

“She’s purposely not speaking, right?”

“They don’t seem to be creatures that dangerous. There would also be the reason that she wants to verify our skills.”

“If push comes to shove, she’ll step in herself?”

“I wouldn’t know.”

Although he said he didn’t know, in truth, Henry knew.

It was a situation where Melissa’s information had been confirmed early on.

If a serious crisis arrived, Melissa was a person who would intervene without any conditions.

“How many did you say there are of these things now?”

“I don’t know exactly.”

“Well, of course you wouldn’t… Ah, you don’t mean it in that sense?”

“If they are all in a state like that guy, roughly a thousand.”

Austin looked in the direction Henry gestured with his chin.

A ‘small’ monster, which they had seen since entering the dungeon, lay collapsed.

Austin understood what Henry was saying.

“A thousand of the small ones… What if we base it on the large ones?”

“Half of that.”

“Double the size and double the mana. It means a guy larger than that could emerge?”

“I think so.”

“Perhaps there might even be a guy that combined about a hundred of them.”

“Probably.”

“Then shall I catch that one?”

[No lol, weren’t you guys establishing a countermeasure??]

[They were drawing up plans to share the spoils lol]

“That would be good. In the end, the small fry are not important.”

Henry spoke, pretending not to see the viewers’ reactions.

In any case, the sponsorship money obtained from hunting was the same.

5,000 won and 10,000 won.

Even if it was a guy harboring a hundred creatures’ worth of mana, the reward was ultimately 10,000 won.

After all, wasn’t the purpose of this dungeon trip to set the stage for Austin to display his skills?
