The manager was still as can be as he watched the three disappear, until their steps no longer echoed in the tunnel. Only then did he stop smiling and shift in place. "What do we know about them?"Suddenly, a person that wasn't there was there. A man appeared as if from thin air itself. He was an elderly man with white hair, but his eyes were sharp like blades, and an aura of concealed power lay around him. The gang leader of the Gloomspire."Nothing. They entered the tunnels four days ago, and the Mistwalkers got their eyes on them. It was normal. But now... it's highly abnormal."The manager nodded.To outsiders, the guides and the gangs were uncooperative entities, but those who knew, knew how united the two were in making territories big."I have sent my men to retrace their steps, but we have found nothing so far. It was as if the two dropped from the sky, and it's not really that surprising with the war going on..."With the war between the two academies, there was a great shift

It was strange.The two of them stood there in the middle of corpses that lacked even a single drop of blood and talked about pills as if it was the easiest thing to do, while a group of spider monstrosities stared at them from the side."If this pill can only be created by Blood Magus, then you and your kind must be important," Quinn pointed out as he reflected on the usefulness of the pill.She shrugged. "Yes. But every Magus is only important for their strength. Power is what makes one important after all."Quinn had already made up his mind. "You will make ravage pills for me. It doesn't matter if they are balanced or not. I will use quantity over quality."Lady Slave looked at him with criticism in her eyes. "I haven't agreed to do anything for you. Besides, an unbalanced pill is dangerous to the one using it. The clash of essence is dangerous, especially if it's in large quantities!"Quinn remained unmoved. "Can quantity measure up to the quality of the pill?"She hesitated, the

"Come here. Let's see what we can do to the rest of the Mistwalkers," Quinn said and gestured hurriedly at the dragon construct.The construct rumbled as it came over, and it did not come out of the fight completely unscathed. Some of its stones were chipped and some enchantments had worn out.Thankfully, Quinn just had to add more energy crystals to the core of the construct, energy crystals that he had taken a lot of and kept inside his ring.The two entered the nest and found a battle going on. The Mistwalkers were walled off by their shield of yellow light and a woman outside was throwing bolts of red, destructive magical energy at them while she dodged the attacks from the Mistwalkers.Lady Slave had already engaged them and their shield seemed on the edge of collapse while she herself seemed to be enjoying the fight.Quinn waved his hand and pointed, using mental command on the dragon construct. "Go on. Kill all of them!"The construct did not waste time and their shield was not

Leader Mayan grinned. "You fool! How dare you get close to me? Aren't you underestimating me too much?"With the umbrella still covering him, the leader pulled his arrow and used another of his power spells. A large projection of the arrow appeared around him, brimming with power, and he released it without hesitation.With the distance, how could Quinn hope to avoid it? Even his umbrella couldn't block all of the attack!But things didn't go as the leader expected.Because when Quinn landed in front of them, he had already shifted his attention and leaped away—not at the leader, but at the Magus with the poisonous acid!That was his target all along!A lot of things happened at the same time, some much faster than the others. Quinn was already out of reach by the time the arrow was released and was in front of the surprised Magus.The arrow slammed into the umbrella with a cracking sound, the large projection hitting like a mountain and managing to push a hole through.At the same ti

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
