Soon Soo Hyuk, who was close to the next destination, stopped walking .

‘As expected . ’

Just as he had expected, there was a crossroad laying ahead of him which was not drawn on the map .  

“I am looking forward to your cooperation . ”

Looking back at Ketoto, he said .

“Ok! Don’t worry! Should protect from those stings!”

Ketoto enthusiastically replied to Soo-hyuk’s words . As he heard the reply was full of energy, the same as when they first met . Soo Hyuk rea.s.sured, turned back and headed towards the left pathway .  

The darkness. .h.i.t Soo Hyuk as soon as he entered the pathway, causing him to open his inventory, take out his crystal ball and activate it .  

[100 Mana is consumed every 10 seconds . . ]

Upon the message, a bright light was spread ensuring visibility . Moving along the pathway, soon, Soo Hyuk reached its end .  

“Is a quest really necessary for me to see?”

There was nothing visible at the end of the pathway . Does he really need a quest to see the recovery magic? 

“Or there is none?”

If not, do they even exist?

“Well, I ‘ll find out once I try . ”

And with that thought, Soo Hyuk widened the distance between him and the invisible magic circle . He would know once he confirms .

“Fire Storm!”

Soo Hyuk, who was now far away, cast the spell ‘FireStorm’ .

Suaak!

A storm of fire appeared . And soon after, a message appeared .

[Recovery Magic Circle has been destroyed . ]

[Chimera Summoning Mage D will no longer be recovered . ]

[Recovery Magic has been destroyed, revealing the Trap magic . ] 

These messages were shown confirming the destruction of the Recovery magic circle .  

“I don’t really need a quest . ” The conclusion Soo Hyuk got was that he didn’t need a quest to destroy the magic circles but he did need one to see them . And the destroyed magic circle right now was the proof .

“All in all, I don’t need to look for a quest . ”

But what if nothing had happened? 

Maybe then he would have gone to the summoning magic circle and received the quest . His experiments saved them a lot of time .  

Soo Hyuk voice-called Kamian .

– Soo Hyuk: It’s been destroyed .

-Kamian: Ok! I’ll tell him .

After Kamian’s reply, Soo Hyuk carefully walked back along the path to avoid the ‘Trap magic’ .  

“Are you here?”

As soon as Soo Hyuk arrived at the entrance, he saw Ketoto holding a shield and blocking the entrance of the right pathway .  

“…”

The shield was constantly protecting the fierce blow from the chimera’s sting . With all the work, Ketoto had a very content look on his face .  

“Yes . ”

Soo Hyuk answered while he approached Ketoto . There he saw the Foblins blowing out their venoms out front .  

‘There are a lot . ’

There were a whole lot of them .

“Did you find the strongest one yet?”

Soo Hyuk asked while looking at the chimeras . And of course, the question was subjected to K-Cross .  

In the previous quest, Wolf-Orc’s Mid-Boss had a health of 5 million . So, they were expecting the Foblins to have the same as well .  

“No, not yet…”

K-Cross vaguely answered .

Just then .

Piik! Kanng!

Suddenly, a poisonous sting flew in and got stuck in the shield, making a crack .

“Huh?”

Ketoto, who was the first to notice the crack in the shield, spoke out with a perplexed voice . Soo Hyuk too, noticed that unlike the other stingers which were reflected right back, this one not only stayed but also managed to make a crack .  

Piik! Kanng!

Similarly, another poison sting was stuck in the shield, though at the same time the others were still being repelled by the shield resulting in them to fall on the ground . Clearly, this poisonous sting was the same as the other one stuck in the shield . They were certain it must have been from the mid-boss’s poison .

 “Poison Storm!”

If it goes on at this pace, the shield might get broken . And if it breaks, there would be no stopping of the poisonous stings from the Foblins . Soo Hyuk cast his spell, and a whirlwind of the poisonous storm appeared .   Swallowing a whole lot of Foblins, sweeping them with their own poisonous stings .

Inside a huge pot .  

– Ugh! 

-Krrrrk!

Seems that the pot was filled with some sort of purple liquid . And within the liquid were ogres and trolls throwing up and groaning in pain .  

Ramos, who was silently observing the orc and the trolls inside the pot narrowed his eyes .

“Haa, seems to be another failure…” 

The creatures inside stopped their screams, leading to the conclusion that they were dead . And them being dead means failure in the experiment .

“I think I’ll take a rest for the day . ”

Muttering to himself Ramos got up from his seat . Then getting up, he asked his subordinate, Galard, who was patiently waiting nearby .

“Are we having some trouble with the production?”

“Not really, except the number of wolves have decreased and it’s affecting the production of the Wolf-Orc chimeras . ”

“Hmm, I see . ”

Answering Gelard, Ramos nodded . Then he pa.s.sed Gelard and came out of the chamber . He began to walk around the pathway as if he knew them, what road would take him out of the underground cave .

–Chwiik! I-It hurts! Arrrghh!

-Aaooww!

-Grrr!

He heard a familiar scream, so he didn’t think of it much and without any reaction, Ramos moved out of the underground cave .  

Ramos, who just came out, walked into the house which he built outside the cave and thought .  

“Well, the Ogres and Troll would be quite useful . ”

There were a lot of materials needed to make the chimeras . And the most important was the creatures needed to be synthesised to transform them into chimeras . But he had no monsters in sight . Though the Ogres and Trolls were eye-catching, they had never succeeded in transforming into a chimera .  

Ramos, who entered his house, stopped walking and sneered . Tilting his head, he frowned .

The reason for his frown was, the six crystal spheres that were sitting at the top of his bookcase, were losing their light .

“The Magic Circle has been destroyed?”

His work was not only to make the chimeras but also transport them into the various parts of the world/continent using the summoning magic circles .  

Ramos used the crystal b.a.l.l.s to tell him the status/conditions of the magic circles that he uses to transport the chimeras . And the loss of light means that the connection was gone meaning, the magic circles were destroyed .

“But I’ve also made the Recovery magic circles . ”

He made it in the hopes that if there were a problem with the Summoning magic circles he would use it to restore them . Clearly, the recovery magic circles were destroyed too, showing the loss of light in the crystal .  

“Are they being serious?”

Ramos knew every position where the magic circles were installed .

“No, no mercenaries can get past my poison . ”

He knew that all the magic circles connected to the six crystals sitting on top of his bookcase were installed in Hadrac .  

He didn’t understand, even if all the mercenaries were being serious, no one was at that level where they could defeat his poisonous chimeras .  

“Is it Fabian, that son of a b.i.t.c.h moving against me?”

Suddenly, Ramos frowned, his eyes filled with darkness .  

Just then another crystal ball which was a few moments ago emitting light lost its brightness . One of the four crystal b.a.l.l.s which were placed at the fourth row from above lost its light .  

Romos’ own eyes dimmed as soon as he remembered which magic circle was connected to the fourth crystal . He was shocked, it was a place where he was sure no one would ever find .  

“…Will I get caught?”

Nothing has progressed yet, he was waiting for the right time . But as soon as he saw the light gradually faded from the crystal, he felt like he caught the presence of the chimeras .

“Are they crazy, what the h.e.l.l are they doing?”

Knock! Knock!

Ramos heard a knock, disturbing his trail of thoughts .  

“Who is it?”

After a pause, Ramos asked .

As soon as the door opened, a man wearing black robe came in .

“Master has called for an emergency meeting . ”

“Master?”

“Yes, we are being called immediately . ”

“What happened?”

“I’m not sure . Mow, I have got to go . Still have to rely on the message to the others . ”

Bowing his head to Ramos, the man closed the door and walked out . Ramos, who was already annoyed at the ongoing situation, was left flabbergasted at the man’s behaviour .  

“You think you can be rude, just because you are a bit favoured by the Master . ” 

If that man weren’t favoured, he would have been killed right away .  

“Hmph!”

Ramos almost burned holes at the door with his eyes, where the man had left . When he turned back to look at the crystals, he saw four of those crystal b.a.l.l.s lost their respective light .  

“Reinstalling them is almost impossible”

Just to set up the Magic Circle it takes a lot of time and money . It took a lot of time and money to set up the Magic Circle . Simply reinstalling them would be a waste of those resources .  

Getting out of the house, Ramos went inside the warehouse which he built beside his house . He had a magic circle installed on its floor . He stepped forward into the circle, and soon he was engulfed with its magic .  

[Chimera Summoning Magic circle has been destroyed] 

[The Lion-Kobold summoned from the Summoning Magic Circle were summoned back . ]

‘Three more places to go . ’

Soo Hyuk, who destroyed the recent magic circle, turned back .  

“Let’s go!”

Then with Kamian and the Koma Guild members, he proceeded towards his next destination .  

Moving along, Soo Hyuk checked the time .

‘Four o’clock . ’

Except for the half-hour lunchtime in the middle, he spent nearly six and a half hours trying to complete the quest in the underground waterways .

‘It’s taking quite a long time . ’

This quest of killing the chimeras as well as destroying the magic circles didn’t take much of their time . But them moving from one place to another was consuming the most .

‘At this speed, I think I might finish the quest today . ’

Though it was taking a lot of time to move, with their speed they wight destroy all the magic circles in a day .  

‘And…’

Soo-hyuk opened a character window .

‘Soon it will be 200 . ’

He calculated that destroying the remaining three magic circles will bring his level to 200 . Soo-hyuk then closed the character window . And opened his quest window .

〈The Troubled Underground Waterway〉

In the underground sewers of Hadrac, chimeras suddenly began appearing in the waterways . Ian and Alex made the decision to clean up the underground waterways, but the chimeras were strong and possessed powerful poison . In the end, the expedition failed, and the most they could achieve was to prevent the chimeras from escaping . Clean the underground waterways of the chimeras and identify their source!

[Chimera Summoning Circle D: 1 / 1]

[Chimera Summoning Circle F: 0 / 1]

[Chimera: 202 / ??? ]

[Quest reward: S-Rank Promotion, ??? ]

‘I’ll be done . ’

He was sure by the end of the day he would complete the quest ‘The Troubled Underground Waterway’ .

‘Soon, I’ll reach 200, so all I have left is…’ 

〈Preparation Period〉

Roman, never thought you’d bring the key this quickly . He a.s.sumed it would take at least a week . But Roman needed a week’s time . This is because he needed to make the physical condition normal . So, visit Roman in a week!

[Delta’s/Kelta’s Secret Key to the Cave: 1 / 1]

[Time Remaining: 4 Days]

[Quest Rewards: Cave Exploration]

In this seemingly quest ‘Preparation Period’ given by Roman, he had four days to complete it .  

But he excluded this day, he had 3 days left in his hands .

‘Three days…’

Looking at the quest, Soo Hyuk smiled .

‘It’s been a while since I had so much free time in my hands . ’

He thought of allthe unexplored books in the library, making him smile . And so he closed his quest window .

Soon after .

“Huh!”

Kamian exclaimed in shock .

With a puzzled look on his face, Soo Hyuk looked at Kamian .

“Soo Hyuk . ”

Seeing his puzzled eyes, Kamian called him .

“What’s wrong?”

Soo Hyuk asked, and looked at Kamian who had his mouth wide open .

“When did we complete another condition? Suddenly, it just went up from three to four . ”
