122. Bounty

[Level up.]

[Level up.]

[Level up.]

A system window emerging from a violent earthquake.

After the body disappeared, I ran across the lava, collecting the remaining volcanic flowers.

“What happened!? You cut the flowers.”

They said I had to cut the flower first to stop it, so I risked my life and jumped in to cut it, but it ended up exploding.

Seol-ah sighed softly at her own question.

-Volcanic flowers can intentionally cause volcanoes to erupt, but they can also prevent volcanic eruptions.

“What are you talking about?”

-You said the roots spread throughout the volcano?

“That’s right.”

-But, just now, when you knocked down the volcano flower, the body disappeared.

“…The volcano erupted because the roots that were preventing the volcano from erupting disappeared?”

It’s as if the roots of a tree are holding a landslide in place.

-That’s it.

“What the hell.”

So, in the end, doesn’t that mean that whether we kill or not, we can’t stop a volcano from erupting?

What kind of creatures are these?

“Then you should have told me not to kill him.”

-Originally, the corpse didn’t disappear. If you just cut the flower, the volcano flower would bloom again for hundreds of years!

Because it had become a labyrinth, something unexpected even for Seol-ah occurred.

As we quickly left the crater, we saw cracks here and there in the volcano, with lava flowing out from within.

At that moment, Leah and Alyssa, who were in the sky, discovered Hyunseong and quickly flew over.

“Ah! Master!”

“What about other people?”

“I’m safe because I’m hunting on the outskirts. Sister Jisoo is flying and escaping using her magic.”

Leah and Alyssa came to check on Hyunseong since they can fly.

It was the right decision, as the entire mountain shook violently and split apart, making quick movement impossible.

“Did the master erupt the volcano?”

“What on earth did you do to cause the volcano to erupt?”

“It’s not my fault.”

-No, it’s your fault. You killed the guy who was trying to stop the volcano from erupting.

“The speed of pulling out is still fast. Are you going to throw it here and leave?”

-Hehehe, are you going to throw it?

A voice full of confidence that no one can abandon you.

Certainly, in this battle, Seol-ah proved how useful she was.

There were a lot of things to worry about in this fight, but you helped me with everything so I could focus solely on the battle.

‘That old man said it was worth 100 billion.’

Now that I’ve experienced it, I feel like it’s definitely worth more than that.

If it weren’t for Seol-ah, I wouldn’t have even thought of catching the volcanic flower.

What if the final seal is released here?

Even if an ordinary person holds it, they will be able to deal with the current highest awakened beings.

‘I’ll be more arrogant from now on.’

I already felt like my head was starting to hurt.

Hyunseong and the succubus both thought it was best to avoid this place first and quickly moved away from the volcano.

When I thought I had reached a somewhat safe range.

“Oh, there it is!”

Han Ji-soo’s voice was heard.

Fortunately, it seemed like everyone managed to get out before the volcano erupted.

And then, after a while.

BANG!!!!!

A shock wave swept through the area with a tremendous noise.

Even though it was quite a distance away, the wind blew so strong that it reached here.

Lava gushed out, and the explosion sent shards of rock flying in all directions, engulfed in flames.

Until the volcanic ash clouds covered the surroundings like fog.

It was a sight that seemed like hell was being created.

-It’s going to get a little noisy around here.

‘okay?’

-The monsters in the area must have scattered to the surrounding area to avoid the volcanic eruption.

The Awakened people nearby suddenly found themselves in a situation where they had to deal with an environment and monsters that had become more intense.

Han Ji-hyun looked puzzled after hearing Seol-ah’s explanation.

“It’s going to get more difficult than it is now…?”

-Besides, the environment will get worse. Since everything here is organically connected… What if other volcanoes erupt too?

What could be worse news for the Awakened?

The situation is difficult enough now, so now we really have to risk our lives in every fight.

Han Ji-soo, who had been listening quietly, made a serious expression.

“Sister, I think I’ll have to take this to the grave…”

“Right? If this gets known, there might be a bounty on it.”

“It’s not that I don’t know, it’s 100% sure.”

“Bounty? Not on a vagabond, but on a monster?”

“There is a bounty placed on monsters that cause many casualties or interfere with the dungeon raid.”

A huge bounty will be placed on the head of the person who caused the volcano to erupt and increased the overall difficulty of the fifth floor.

That would have likely attracted bounty hunters.

“Are there guys like that?”

“Most of the time, there are bounties on monsters above the 5th floor, so I haven’t seen many of them until now.”

Moreover, the fact that there is a bounty on your head means that you are an enemy of the Association.

From the Awakened’s perspective, it is not a bad thing to build connections with the Association, so there are quite a few Awakened who go on bounty hunts.

“I haven’t checked, but I think there’s a bounty on Ifrit too?”

“okay?”

In response to his question, Han Ji-hyun manipulated her smartphone and then showed him the screen.

There was an image of Ifrit there along with a considerable amount of money.

“Because I turned the first floor of the labyrinth city into a sea of ​​fire.”

“Well, then maybe I’ll be there too?”

“Yes? Why?”

“I was the one who set him free.”

“… … Really?”

Han Ji-hyun looked at herself with an expression of disbelief.

I wondered how we knew each other, but I never thought there would be such a behind-the-scenes story.

She stared blankly at her smartphone again.

“There isn’t any?”

“okay?”

-You were probably trying to deal with it within the Cheonmasin Church, right?

“Is that so?”

It was a plausible guess, since they had even sent trackers.

Since they knew their martial arts skills, they probably thought it was an internal affair.

“Anyway! If this fact gets known, absolutely! Absolutely not!”

“Well, I’ll keep that in mind.”

Because he himself was reluctant to do things that were bothersome.

however,

“Shouldn’t you be more careful than me?”

He had no contact with any other Awakened beings other than certain Awakened beings.

I do connect to the Awakened community, but at best I just lurk.

Compared to that, since they were awakened, they had no choice but to interact with each other in various ways.

Han Ji-soo looked at her older sister with an expression that seemed to indicate that she had only just realized it.

“What should I do, Sister? I told you to be careful, so I don’t think you should say anything all of a sudden.”

“Just keep your mouth shut, little brother…”

Anyway, now that we have the volcano flower, it’s time to return to Ifrit.

Hyunseong and his group headed to the mountain where Efreet was located on the 5th floor, which had turned into hell.

* * *

While Hyunseong and his group were conquering the 5th floor.

The Friendship Law came out of the labyrinth and arrived at the headquarters of the Cheonmasingyo, the Sipmandaesan Mountain.

As he was walking down a long hallway, someone blocked his path.

“Aren’t you the Master of the Righteous Law? Why did the Master of the Righteous Law come here alone?”

“Left-handed method.”

The left-wing law glanced at the right-wing law’s severed arm and opened its mouth.

“Besides, how did your arm end up like that? Someone with your level of skill.”

A friendly way to frown briefly at that look in his eyes.

Originally, it was not a good thing for the two people, as the cult leader’s subordinates, to be at odds with each other.

However, the law of amity did not suit him at all.

When we first met, the cult leader suddenly brought me here and said he would make me a Dharma protector.

I didn’t know anything about his origins or his military achievements.

‘Where on earth did the cult leader get this guy…?’

Although I was dissatisfied, I could not go against the leader’s orders due to my personal feelings.

Besides, there were more important things to do right now.

The friendly law blew away all miscellaneous thoughts and opened its mouth to the left friendly law.

“I must see the cult leader.”

“Are you saying such things knowing that the leader is currently in closed training?”

“okay.”

“… … ”

Joahobeop looked at Woohobeop with his eyes wide open.

Soon, he opened his mouth with a helpless smile.

“If that’s you, then it must be really urgent. Go see the cult leader.”

Even if you say it won’t work here, the Friendship Law will try to meet the leader by any means necessary.

“I know the way, but can you go alone? If you want, I can go with you.”

“No problem.”

The friendly law did not answer and headed towards the place where the owner of the Cheonmasingyo was practicing in a closed room.

That place is Bongmagok.

‘This place is still the same.’

A fraud so serious that just stepping inside will send shivers down your spine.

A place filled with thousands of years of fraud.

The friendly law took a deep breath and drew up its internal energy as it went in.

The deeper we went, the more serious the fraud became.

I had the illusion that the sound of the wind blowing through the narrow valley sounded like a scream.

‘If a normal person were here, he would go crazy in no time.’

Cheonmasingong is a martial art that even uses these scams as nutrients.

It could be said that it was a martial art fit to reign over ten thousand horses.

That being said, the fact that there is someone who has mastered the Heavenly Demon Art is a huge problem.

Wooho-beop arrived in front of a small stone gate, cutting through the fog that made it impossible to see even an inch ahead.

The most secret place in Bongmagok.

There were only two people who could come here, excluding myself.

One is the left-wing method.

And the one left is –

‘Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect’

This was a place that even the sect leader did not know about.

The stone gate began to open with a heavy sound.

Let’s go inside, and after a short walk a wide open space is revealed.

And, upon seeing the shadow in the center, Woohobeop bowed without hesitation.

“I bow before the supreme being of the Cheonmasin religion.”

“The fact that you came here means that something good has happened.”

A friendly way to be so touched by the trust you have in yourself that you don’t know where to put your body.

That’s how I told the story about Hyunseong, whom I met in the labyrinth.

“What you just said was completely true?”

“Yes, I’ll risk my neck.”

“okay…”

When he heard the story about Hyeonseong, a fierce aura emanated from Cheonma, who had been quiet.

The shoulders of the lying Woohoobeop shook.

‘You have become more powerful than before.’

An energy that makes your skin tingle just by facing it.

Is this really a power that a human can have?

It felt like I was facing an insurmountable sky, rather than a huge mountain that seemed to pierce the sky.

‘furthermore…’

A friendly way to look around and glance around.

A workshop that has invested generously in the stone, Cheonggongseok, which is harder than iron.

Although it had been used by past Heavenly Horses and had left many traces, there were more traces engraved on it than when it had been used before.

“A skeleton using the Heavenly Demon Art, it’s quite interesting. Do you have any more information?”

“Yes, I’m sorry. My ability is lacking, so I couldn’t figure it out that far.”

There was a brief silence, and in the darkness, Cheonma’s eyes shone sharply.

“Bring me that skeleton. By any means necessary.”
