Quinn was happy. Very much happy! And it was because of a simple yet strange fact. In the past few months since he entered the Great Dungeon, a lot of people had tried to kill him, and although he had killed them back—most of them anyway—this was the first time he would be striking back immediately after someone plotted against him in the Great Dungeon.Quinn had missed his own pettiness, so he smiled happily at the leader of the Mistwalkers. "Three third circle Magus. Might be tricky, but you lot don't have the power of the head supervisor.""What nonsense are you speaking?" The leader with the bow growled, his eyes dark green like his arrows. "Surrender yourself, and we might forgive you for pointing a weapon at us."Quinn looked at him with amusement. "Is that so? You'll forgive me? But why should I surrender? I can smell the fear in you. This is far from what you expected for your hunter team. It seems you have grown comfortable and lost what it means to fight."The leader stiffen

"Get ready!" Mayan shouted.Now that he was staring intently, he could see that the thing blasting toward them was humanoid, too much so even, and it perplexed him a great deal.And that speed! It was closing in too fast for his liking, and the only reason he was still calm was because he was sure his shield would hold. That shield was one of his greatest joys, as he had spent a hefty sum to create it, and it could even hold a number of his own attacks.With that thought in mind, Mayan raised his hands, and green light condensed around them, solidifying into a bow and an arrow. "Let's see what type of monster you are. Must be the one that killed my scout and dragged the body here."He put the arrow to the bow and pulled, stretching it past his ears as it began to emit a low groan of vibration. The arrow glowed from soft green to almost blinding.He grinned. "Now we wait. Once the monster bounces off the shield."But surprisingly, as the monster got within thirty feet, it dramatically

Raaj led them back.The return journey was much faster than when they were going deeper into the maze. They didn't run, but Raaj increased his speed so much it looked like jogging, even more so when they heard a loud screeching sound far in the distance behind them."Why did the Mistwalker cause such commotion?" Quinn was confused about the reason why they would do such a thing in the first place, as it didn't seem like the most sensible thing to do at all."Most likely to see the level of strength the Longleg Spiders are since the bait failed. I said it earlier. There are other monsters in the maze, and sometimes they fight the spiders."The amount the Mother Queen sent would be used to determine their current strength and how far the team should go."Quinn sighed. He just wanted to hunt his monsters and get the hell out of the territory. Why did people always try to get in his way? He knew he had already decided that he wouldn't fight them, but he was dangerously close to changing h

Yutaka couldn't close his mouth as he watched the blind guy drag someone that was dressed entirely in black towards them. Obviously, he was a type of combat Magus himself, but he was weak. Even then, he didn't see him move at all.Yutaka swallowed as a theory formed in his mind. ...the blind guy must have a powerful enchanted object or artifact!..."Well? Do you know him?"Lady Slave removed the cloth covering the man's face, showing them what he looked like.Yutaka studied the average face and frowned a little. "This is a scout from the Mistwalker group. He's a second circle Magus and his scouting powers are impressive. You... we are going to get into trouble for killing him."Lady Slave looked at Red Eyes Slave and he shrugged. "They already target us. If we leave the nest alive, they are going to come after us anyway. Either way, we are still going to clash with the Mistwalker."Lady Slave groaned and her eyes darkened. "Right. Might as well start. I'm getting tired of this place."

Yutaka soon came back, and he was even paler than before as he stared at them with wide eyes. He told them what he found out.Everything was because of a large hunting team, the Mistwalker. They were the ones that wanted to hunt the Longleg Spiders in a very large capacity, and they needed bait to know the recent strength of the nest.And as it turned out, Quinn and Lady Slave had walked in like goats stretching out their necks for slaughter. The gang had promptly set them up.Quinn was annoyed. It seemed as if people were always trying to kill him everywhere he went, and it was getting tiring, but this time he really could not blame them, because they genuinely thought he was weak."One thing I still don't understand is what the deal with the Longleg Spiders is. Are they that valuable?" Quinn asked."Yes. Their venom is precious. It is used in the making of hundreds of poison and healing potions. Also, the venom that can be extracted from each spider is no more than three drops. That

The guides are more polite than the gang. Than the Gloomspire gang. They even offered them tea and cake, but Lady Slave humbly declined."So you want a guide not only for hunting in Gloomspire but to cross the mountains into Umbracrypt City? You should know that with the war, there's a high shortage of guides, and that means our prices have gone up."If you want a quality guide, it's going to cost you a lot. A real lot."From the manager's tone, Quinn could deduce what the man meant. Simply put, Lady Slave and Red Eyes Slave did not look like people that could afford a high-quality guide.Although they wore quality clothes, they themselves looked as if they had been dragged through the mud half their lives, and the manager had seen enough hunters to smell fakes from miles away.Most times, hunters formed into large groups to hunt monsters. That was one of the sure ways to guarantee that everyone at least had a chance at survival.But sometimes, real deals appeared that hunted alone be
