small reward
“Kikki!”
A lump of flesh the size of a fist protruded from Tantareth’s body, no, from the body of the one he had created, and began to run away frantically with its tentacles.
It is the main body of Tantares. It crawled towards the entrance, found Kurman lying unconscious, and rolled its eyes. Hyeon-jun is not able to come to his senses due to trauma, and Bahanus is also busy pouring his divine power on him. D’Van is staggering, but he’s so slow it’ll take a while. Tantares clung to Kurman, climbing his clothes and moving toward his head.
Roaring!
“Hey hey hey!”
And the moment it touched Kurman’s skin, the jewelry on his neck shattered and fire burst out. It didn’t hurt Kurman at all and burned his clothes, things, and Tantares before disappearing. The fire didn’t spread because it was originally designed that way. Tantares fell to the floor and rolled, but when the fire went out, he tried to escape through the entrance, but his tentacles were also burned to death and he could not move.
“Whoa, whoa… .”
Devan barely moved and stood in front of him. He looked down at the lump of flesh the size of a fist rolling his eyes, then let out a deep sigh.
snap!
After stabbing him with a sword, he trampled it with his foot. Then, twisting and pulling the sword, it surely disintegrated Tantares.
Soon it became unrecognizable even in its original form, like a trampled tomato.
Devan backed away and sat down. After using too much fire, he threw the sword that had melted and twisted into scrap metal, and then fumbled for the helmet and took it off. He mumbled for a moment, then spat out bloody saliva.
“Whoa… . You killed him easily.”
I was very lucky to be able to kill Tantares so easily with one knight, one combat priest, one mage, and one adventurer. Depending on the situation, I thought of using Hyeon-jun as bait to take a chance or withdraw, but he did a lot better than I thought, and thanks to that, I was able to kill Tantares without anyone dying or getting seriously injured.
Originally an advance party for reconnaissance, D’Van was ordered to kill Tantares only if the circumstances were very favorable. If the situation was bad, they would move all the people in the village and conduct reconnaissance, or even prepare to set fire to the entire forest.
But surprisingly, the adventurers were able to kill him so easily thanks to the fact that the adventurers killed a lot of Tantares’ nolls and consumed a lot of energy.
‘I can’t believe I got this chance.’
The advance party killed Tantares, who had been neglected for a long time. It’s only four!
It is a great achievement to be ranked at the top of his family’s achievements, and even after his death, seeing that one line engraved on his tombstone, his descendants will raise a sword with a heart as hot as fire for the family’s honor. It is a feat that can engrave a line in the history books, and the lord will spend a lot of money and influence to hold a triumphant ceremony for him.
Even that is very small compared to the huge damage that will happen as the main unit moves. This is because the basic way to deal with fully grown Tantares is to bite off people and livestock in nearby villages, isolate or dispose of them, set fire to the entire forest or mountain, and then search for and kill the main body.
If you don’t let go of the fire, or if you can’t, you’ll have to fight a huge number of enhanced monsters, and losses beyond imagination will be forced.
Do it without a single death! Without setting fire to the forest! He did it while maintaining the village!
“hehehehe…”
Devan, still smooth and wrinkle-free, smiled.
He’s young, and could be active for at least 20 more years. And today’s achievements will give him and his family a powerful influence. It’s an unusual thing that happened thanks to the adventurers’ bizarre kindness, but in the end, it was Devan himself who killed him. I already had tears in my eyes when I thought that everyone in my family would look up at him as he climbed to the highest place at the triumphal ceremony.
With his own hands, he will raise the family that has lost influence to the point where Dvan, who is one of the most powerful people in the entire Taxis territory, has no choice but to take charge of reconnaissance. Devan smiled hotly and clenched his fists.
“Brother, wake up! Brother!”
“Huh… Heh…”
“Brother, can you hear me?”
Hyunjoon trembled and barely nodded. His clenched fists and chin slowly lost strength, and his body sagged limply. The intense shock of the trauma shook Hyeon-jun’s mind, but he was able to quickly recover thanks to his divine power.
It was possible because Behbine’s power was similar to that of Karios, but a little different, and it was possible because he gently wrapped and released his mind as if he were holding him in his arms.
Of course, it’s not that Karios’ power is lacking, it’s just that they’re different because when Karios’ power came into their bodies, their courage and confidence strengthened their hearts.
“Are you okay? Where are you sick?”
“Ugh… .”
Hyunjoon pointed to his chin with his hand. I put too much force on my jaw and it dislocated. Bahanus touched Hyeon-jun’s chin for a while before speaking.
“Hold on a moment.”
He then grabbed Hyeon-jun’s chin, returned it to its original position, and released his divine power.
“Turn it off… .”
Hyeon-jun let out a sigh in pain, but recovered and calmed down immediately.
“Hey, it’s fine now. Heal others.”
“All right. Please wait a moment.”
And Bahanus carefully laid Hyeon-jun down and staggered to his feet.
He also suffered an explosion, his skin burned and his brain and internal organs shaken by the shock and heat. In the process, he recovered a little, but he couldn’t move properly yet, so he struggled to walk towards Dvan and Kurman, touching the ground with his spear.
Hyunjoon closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath to calm himself down. As the pain of the burn spread, the pain that had been eroded by Tahman’s power revived and I could not move. My body went out of control and trembled and crouched on its own, and even though I knew that it was not Tahman’s power and that I had already recovered, I kept thinking of Tahman’s power.
Drenched in cold sweat, Hyeonjun struggled to open his eyes. Only the upper part of the ceiling and walls are bright, as if Kurman had dropped a magic tool that emits light. It was as if he had been rejected by the light and was being drawn into the darkness.
Hyeonjun swallowed his saliva and concentrated on opening the status window. When you’re having a hard time, you feel better when you see the reward for what you’ve done. The mighty power of financial therapy has been treating humanity for a long time with that principle.

“Heh, heh, heh heh…”
Hyeon-jun, who narrowed his eyes and looked at the status window, started tearing things apart like a madman.
Bahanus, who had been looking after Dvan after treating the unconscious Kurman first, looked back at Hyeonjun in amazement. Seeing Hyeon-jun, who was sweating profusely, lying on the floor and smiling at the ceiling, Bahanus hurriedly ran and looked at Hyeon-jun’s face.
“Brother! My God, Behbine!”
No matter how you look at it, it seems that Hyun-joon has gone mad from terrible pain. Bahanus hugged Hyeonjun with tears in his eyes.
In Scanden, a righteous man who risked risking justice for the children and Idelia, and even risked death for those suffering from Tantares, who has been with us all the way to this place, is going through something like this! How could God have given such a cruel fate to him! Behbine, how!
“I’m choking, so let go… .”
“Brother!”
Bahanus let go of Hyeon-jun and looked into his face. Hyeon-joon seems a little uncomfortable, but he is looking up at him with clear, clear eyes as if he has come to his senses.
Tears welled up in Bahanus’ eyes, and then tears poured out.

“Thank you, Verbine! Brother, I really know what happened to you… !”
“I just don’t have enough energy. Healing others… .”
“Kuh, brother, you must be suffering too, but for the sake of others… !”
“…….”
“I will be back soon.”
Bahanus made a promise to Hyeon-jun with a firm look and ran back to Dvan.
Hyunjoon sighed deeply and closed his eyes. I don’t know what else Bahanus misunderstood, but it was true that he had no energy at all. Even keeping my eyes open is difficult. When I closed my eyes, my mind became hazy, and fatigue rushed in at once. The battle with the terrible appearance of Tantares and the manifestation of trauma pushed the spirit to the bottom, and the strength of Behbine and the financial treatment of Karma pushed it back up again. The spirit strikes at that great gap.
‘This job is over… .’
Hyeon-jun lost consciousness like that, unable to hold on to the consciousness that was moving away.
***
Hyeon-jun only opened his eyes in the dark evening. I lay there blankly and stared at the ceiling, then jumped up. He hurriedly looked around and saw that he was staying at Haim’s house. Hyunjoon sighed and lay down again. My body had already recovered, and I had a good night’s sleep from morning until the sun went down, so my body was full of energy, but I didn’t want to move.
After lying down like that, Hyeon-jun suddenly opened his eyes and opened the status window. And seeing the huge amount of karma of 1408, he clenched his fists.
‘1408! Assuming that mana control 1, attributes, and magic are 100 karma, 1108 accidents remain. If I raise my mana with it!’
Unable to control Hyeon-jun’s excitement, he struggled and then stopped. because of a sudden thought.
‘I was also able to sense Kurman’s mana. If I suddenly have mana, he will know it too.’
An adventurer who couldn’t handle a handful of mana suddenly starts using mana after fighting a monster? Just look at it and you’ll win.
I really want to decline the attention of nobles. I’m really afraid of what will happen. Hyunjoon tried to calm his excitement and closed his eyes. It’s too late to purchase after getting out of here. no, it’s not too late Calm down asshole, don’t get excited.
‘Let’s think of something else.’
Hyeonjun took a moment to catch his breath before thinking about Tantares.
It’s a shocking visual that I don’t want to see again, even in my dreams. My body trembles as I recall the horror of a 4-meter-tall game with my entire body covered in eyeballs. I don’t know if it’s rather cruel, but I’m sick of the disgusting look that only comes out of the Cthulhu myth.
‘There was little I could do.’
This is because no matter how well you handle a sword, you are bound to the human category. Bahanus showed superhuman strength by strengthening his body with divine power, and Dvan borrowed not only the skills he had honed, but also the power of enchanted armor and sword. Kurman? To say the power of Kurman’s magic is enough to make your mouth hurt.
In that situation, the only thing Hyeonjun could do against Tantares was to create a gap by inducing his movement. Of course, that was also a very important role. If it wasn’t for Hyeon-jun, I wouldn’t have been able to kill him so easily. Still, it was enough to feel the gap with others.
‘I need magic. Knowledge of mana.’
You can’t ask Dvan or Kurman about that. Maybe you should ask the priests. It seems to lean too much on the temple, but it is a relationship that helps each other. It’s stupid to stay still when you can lend a hand.
‘To give so much karma, it was a truly incredible monster.’
I was able to get more than half of the amount of karma I had accumulated so far by fighting him. It must have meant that it was a powerful monster. Even though he didn’t kill him himself.
‘If I could have killed him myself!’
Hyeon-jun thought so, but in fact, there would not have been a big difference.
This is because the true power of Tantares lies in the myriad of powerful monsters and parasites, and the main body is just a small piece of flesh. Most of the karma Hyun-jun earned is for saving the lives of people in the village of Red Forest, nearby villages, and villages and cities along the lower reaches of the Senten River.
Hyeon-joon didn’t notice that the karma didn’t rise because the villagers died or the adventurers were saved. Humans respond sensitively to change, but are indifferent to things that remain the same. If Karma had risen, he would have inferred from it why it had risen, but since there was no change, he had no idea.
The reason why someone in the village died or saved them but the karma didn’t go up is simple. Because they were all going to die anyway. No matter how active Hyeon-joon was, it was meaningless. Hyeon-joon doesn’t know that he killed Tantares easily, but if Tantares were left unattended, the parasites would spread to the villages along the river along the Red Forest Village, the Ganga Village, and the Senten River, and eventually pass through the port city of Scanden. would lead to the sea.
Of course, the nobles weren’t idiots and they would have subdued him before that, but he was a guy who could inflict an irreparable blow to the entire southern kingdom. He was the one who was in such an exquisite position.
Rather, in this case, it is right to be suspicious of the absurdly small entry of karma. You saved so many people, but it’s only a little over 1,000 karma? If karma had normally entered, Hyeon-jun would have jumped up from the cave where he killed Tantares, did somersaults, screamed and ran. Since he has no knowledge of monsters, he rejoices over karma, which is insignificant compared to what he has done. If you don’t know, you’ll have to suffer, and it’s a shady strategy using what you don’t know.
