Chapter 114 – 114.Last Member (1)
After leaving the Adventurer’s Guild, we accepted the quest to exterminate monsters as usual and rode the carriage.
I’ll just finish the request and make recommendations for new members tomorrow.
The monster to be caught this time is a plant-type monster that has undergone a unique mutation.
Also known as Trento.
Its characteristic feature is a slightly thin tree monster that crawls on its roots.
If left unattended, it is an annoying monster that steals all the nutrients from surrounding plants, so the cost of extermination and maintenance is more expensive than expected.
For reference, according to Pamela, Trento, which has the property of absorbing nutrients, is a monster that is also used as medicine.
When I asked what kind of medicine it was used for, I was told that it was mainly used as a temporary strength enhancer.
“Trento! Trento!”
They are excited about catching Trento in the carriage.
“Is it really that good to go catch Trento?”
Adelia was so excited that when she asked, Myka nodded her head loudly!
“Yes! Trento! It tastes good when you hit it! Pakak! Pakak! It makes a sound!”
“Yeah, I see.”
Trento seems to be a monster with a good sense of hitting for Myka.
There were about 20 minutes left to reach Trento’s habitat.
Suddenly the carriage stopped.
I opened the window connected to the coach seat and spoke to Atsbal.
“What’s going on, Atsubal?”
“Strange guys appear and block the road.”
“Strange guys?”
First, I got off the carriage and looked around.
A group of people wearing hoods on their heads and their faces painted black and green were surrounding the carriage.
Haha! If your life is precious, give me everything you have!”
Just by hearing that line, I could immediately tell what kind of people the besiegers were.
He was a thief who was no different from a bandit.
“Atsubal, they’re not strange guys, they’re thieves, aren’t they?”
“The fact that they are thieves makes them strange people.”
“That is correct.”
“What’s going on, Atsuval, Sihan?”
Following me, Yeonhwa and other people got out of the carriage one after another.
“Oh~ There are a lot of girls with smooth faces, right? That’s four of them. I think you can enjoy this, right?”
One of the bandits showed a base desire upon seeing the women.
“Uh, uh…”
“My ears will rot.”
“Enjoy? What do you enjoy?”
“You don’t have to understand, Myka.”
Of course, except for Myka, who couldn’t quite understand the thief’s words, the women expressed their feelings of disgust.
“Yeonhwa.”
“Department of Protection.”
The younger man opened his protection faster than when he faced any other monster.
“Ah? What is it? Suddenly something strange surrounds you, right?”
“Kihi, we have more numbers anyway, so let’s finish this quickly, bro.”
“Okay, let’s finish it quickly and have fun!”
Haha! Okay let’s do it!”
The thieves were confused, perhaps unaware of the existence of the Department of Protection, but did not lose confidence.
“Atsubal, please take care of the guys in the back. I’ll take the front.”
“Cleaning up trash… Hehe, sometimes it’s good to do good deeds. Ha!”
Perhaps because Atsubal had reached a certain level, he utilized his improved physical abilities to the fullest.
Atsbal, who kicked off the coach seat and climbed onto the carriage, shouted from the top of the carriage.
“Come! You thieves who are trapped in the abyss of life! I will ‘condemn’ you with my lightning!”
Starting with Atsubal’s declaration, the thieves tried to attack the carriage.
Thieves are rushing in front of me.
Among them, there is a thief wearing a special blue bandana.
When I see them, I.
My heart was pounding.
Even when I think about it myself, should I think it’s a bit vulgar?
Because in my eyes, the thieves who are coming now.
Rather than the fact that it is trash that needs to be disposed of.
My heart raced at the thought that a treasure chest giving points had appeared by itself.
In fact, while I was in charge of the request in Raden, I was secretly gathering information to see if any more bandits were appearing.
However, after the large-scale bandits called Velkendan disappeared, other bandits also disappeared or dispersed, and the bandits could not be found after that.
In the end, I was no longer able to fight bandits again, even though I could have gotten a lot of points even at low difficulty levels.
But this place is bitter.
If there are no bandits, there are thieves.
My feet naturally feel lighter with a happy heart.
As my heart beats violently, my body gains more strength.
Phew!
[Pierced through the thief.]
First of all, he thrust his spear into the heart of the first thief running forward.
“Wow!”
As expected, you will not receive any points even if you defeat a guy who is no better than a novice.
But there is nothing to regret.
Because there is a guy who looks like an executive wearing a blue bandana.
Immediately he pulled out the spear and cut off the heads of the bandits who hesitated at the sight of the spear being stuck in his comrade’s heart, and continued swinging the spear along the path to kill the bandits.
“Oh, don’t come!”
I stabbed the thief’s neck with the forearm of the thief who appeared to be a scared executive trying to swing his sword at me.
Phew!
“Kruk… !”
[Pierced through the bandit executive.]
[Achievement: Defeated the bandit leader Tradio.]
[Achievement Reward: Point 1, Fame 3]
Ah, this is the notification sound I wanted to hear.
***
“I’ll say anything! I’ll say anything! Fingers! Please stop pointing your fingers…!”
Except for one bandit, all the bandits surrounding the carriage were eliminated.
When I left only one person behind and looked at the situation, Atsval was very light and destroyed the thieves by firing them with electricity.
The female team also tried to step in, but it is said that there was no time for them to intervene since dealing with multiple enemies is Atsubal’s specialty.
After bringing in a thief who had just fainted, I suggested changing today’s schedule.
From fighting Trento to fighting bandits.
Of course, there were no people who opposed it.
“Then I’ll come back to interrogate you, so just wait a moment.”
Since I had to find out the bandits’ hideout, I received a potion from Pamela and dragged the still unconscious bandit to a quiet place in the forest.
The thief woke up and was looking at me in fear.
First of all, I told him to tell me where the hideout was because it might happen all at once.
However, the bandit did not open his mouth, perhaps out of loyalty to the bandit leader or out of fear rather than death.
So, I used the piercing skill a few times to make holes in various parts of my body with my fingers and used potions to heal them.
The reason we don’t use a spear is to emphasize that someone like you can make a hole in the body with just your fingers, and we also made the stabbing speed slow so you could feel the pain for longer.
The effect must have been evident as the thief started wetting himself and begging me to stop, saying he would tell me anything.
“Okay, then lead the way.”
“Ah, ah, I understand, I understand.”
To reach the thief’s hideout, you had to first ride a carriage for another 15 minutes, and then go through the forest for another 30 minutes.
“There, there, there.”
With a trembling hand, the thief pointed in the direction where the hideout was.
A sentry was also erected near the hideout, and people who appeared to be executives or leaders were sitting or walking around.
Additionally, items that appeared to have been stolen from people were also seen nearby.
First, I asked the thief to confirm.
“Has anyone been caught?”
“No, not right now.”
“What now?”
“Two, the woman that the leader used as a plaything died while treating her roughly… “
I, as well as the other members, felt disgusted by the thief’s words.
“Okay. Then your role is over.”
“Huh? What is that… Wow!”
First of all, he gave guidance, so he quickly ended his life by stabbing his neck with a spear.
“Okay, then I guess I’ll just have to dispose of the trash next.”
Atsubal looked at the bandit’s hideout with a more serious tone than usual.
“Krrrr…”
Maika also seems to know what the thief said this time and shows hostility by baring her teeth.
“No, there is no need for you to step forward.”
“What?”
“Myka.”
“Why, boss?”
“I’ve never really shown you my skills properly. It’s a good opportunity, so I’ll show you now. Take a close look.”
I used a skill while extending my hand toward the thieves’ hideout.
“Awesome song.”
A perfect song that contains as much magical energy as possible without reducing its power.
A huge spear came down from the sky and struck the thieves’ hideout.
Kwahiah ahhhhh!
With a strong wind of dust, the thieves’ hideout was immediately devastated.

After destroying the bandits’ hideout, we took the hoods and the items stolen by the bandits from the remaining debris and corpses and decided to take the carriage back to Suzar.
“Captain, it’s amazing! Quaaaaang! Quaaang! I did it! Captain, it’s amazing!”
Maika, seeing the power of my exquisite song for the first time, was wagging her tail and running around me as if she couldn’t control her excitement.
“That’s like my special move.”
“Oh! Special move! Cool!”
“Hey, Myka! I thought it was cool too! Did you forget that I wiped out the bandits that were flocking in with my magic!”
“Atsuval! Magic! It’s sparkly, tingly, cool!”
“Heh, of course.”
“But the captain crab is even more amazing!”
“Ugh… !”
In terms of power, Atsuval seemed to know that my special song had more impact, but he was distraught and was unable to refute Maika’s words.
“The thieves also had a lot of money. How many people have they attacked so far?”
“Raden has also been a problem recently due to bandits being active in the area. This happens in every country. But with this incident, the area around Suzar will become peaceful.”
“I hope that those who returned because of thieves can go to the goddess’ side with peace of mind through this.”
“Yes, Pamela. I definitely will.”
When we arrived at Suzar, we immediately reported to the guild that we had destroyed the bandit hideout, handing over the collected hoods.
Not only the receptionist Nelia, but even the guild leader who called us back to the reception room was surprised that we had killed all the thieves in one day.
But being surprised means being surprised, and the guild leader said to us.
“Thank you, for solving Suzar’s trouble.”
“No, I just did what I had to do. It’s better for those guys to disappear as soon as possible.”
“That’s true. Heroes also say different things. You are not just a hero of Raden, but a hero of the people.”
It was the moment when Dylan, the guild leader of the Suzar Adventurer’s Guild, said those words.
[Achievement: You have obtained the title People’s Hero]
[Achievement reward: 3 points, reputation 15]
An unexpected reward came in.
After all, it is up to people to live kindly.
