To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 14: Eyes of the Dragon

"Understood?"

The explanation recorded on the Hunter Bracelet without Ars noticing, and Ars had just finished reading it.

Ars already understands. In essence, he was the one who caused the boss monster bear to appear. But the question, "Can they beat that boss area?"

When talking about a boss monster, the Hunters' mind will automatically focus on the word "Raid". The real Raid, of course. Not a solo Raids that Ars has been doing in the past week.

"Watch out!"

"Waaaaaaaahhhh, that was close!"

"Medic-medic!"

All the fighter Hunters were desperately trying to fight the boss.

In the back, Ars, the cause of the boss monster's appearance, casually went into hiding.

That Area Boss - Killer Bee looks strong. They can win the battle if Ars joins the fight. But Ars doesn't want to be striking now. So, "Just let them take care of the boss."

"Did you say something?"

The party recommendation said that there must be at least 1 Gold Hunter at the party. 'If I can beat that boss, am I as strong as Gold Hunter?' Ars had the intention of measuring his strength when he arrived at the West Station Guild.

"Wait, a minute." Ars suddenly thought of something. "Hey, that monster is a boss, right? That means it's going to drop some good stuff."

All of his hidden comrades looked at each other, then answered Ars's question.

"King Bearskin Cloak."

"700kg of meat."

"Bear meat is edible?" asked Ars, a little surprised.

"Bear Beasts can't, their flesh is too tough. But for Killer Bee, his body, which is four times bigger than Bear Beast, contains a lot of fat which makes it delicious."

Ars learns new things every day. "I see."

"Then last, what weapon is it called?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the Cutthroat Gauntlet. A deadly weapon."

"How deadly?"

As soon as Ars asked how deadly it was, Killer Bee scratched a Giant Leaf Tree. The claws cut through a very thick and 50 meter tall tree.

"Watch out!"

"Get away from there!"

"Kyaaaaaaaaaa!" One male hunter scream.

The Fighter Hunter is getting more and more troublesome.

Ars felt guilty because he had made his colleagues in high trouble. "By the way, all of that drop, it would sell how much?"

Again, Ars made his colleagues hide in wonder because of his curiosity.

"You have a lot of curiosity as part of a group of weak people, huh?"

Well, Ars is part of that group right now. Even though Ars got annoyed being called weak, he couldn't get carried away with emotion.

"So it is. Just tell me the answer to my question earlier? "

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, it's 10k."

That made Ars glaring. "10k!". That number is like 5 years of total wages as a porter if you add it up.

"Gaahhhh!"

"Supporter! Buffs!"

"One more hit and we ded!"

The length of the fight increasingly overwhelmed the fighter hunters. On the other hand, the group of weak people who are hiding shocked because Ars suddenly shouted.

Ars returned to his seat after being seen by everyone. The amount of money he heard shocked him so much that it made him forget himself. Even though he only heard the numbers.

However, it is only natural that they can that much money. Because what is being fought is the area boss.

After watching the fight for a while, Ars understand one thing. Killer Bee, actually the boss, isn't a tough opponent, but the range of attacks from its long claws can be troublesome.

The waves from its claw attacks could reach the rearguard, especially the wagons. The offense team had a hard time because Killer Bee's large body made it easy for it to move around in the giant forests.

If only there is one person who had great attack power, it would be easy enough to fight it.

But at that time, Ars saw only one person who had great attack power. That is Arlene, with her anti-monster Sniper Rifle. Though his attack power isn't enough to pierce Killer Bee's massive body.

"I'll be going for a moment."

Ars got up, then walked away.

"Hey, where are you going ..." Ars' colleague didn't know his name. "Pal?!"

"Personal business!"

Ars left by waving at one colleague who concerned about him.

"Why he can relax like that at times like this?"

They did not have time to introduce themselves, so Ars' figure gave a very mysterious impression.

Killer Bee stopped moving right as Ars disappeared.

"What happened to him?!"

All the Hunters also stopped. Pay attention to the situation before moving. 

Suddenly Killer Bee turned around and ran into the depths of the forest.

"Hey, where are you going!?"

Due to the tension of the battle, someone was about to run after Killer Bee.

"Where are you going!? The fight is over! The most important thing is that we go to the West Station quick and report this!"

The Party Leader made the best decision they could make. It's too risky to hunt down Killer Bee for now, when they have huge burdens; to protect the wagons.

Though one big question remained in their hearts.

"What the fvck is his problem?"

"If he doesn't continue attacking, does that mean no one got hit by Bad Omen?"

"Are you trying to say the attack just now was just a fvcking prank?!"

The Area Boss won't be advancing to attack like what happened before. They will only advance if someone takes [Status debuff: Bad Omen] with them.

When everyone is ready to go. Arlene went to the rear wagon. "Did you see Ars?"

"Ars?"

"Ooh, that new kid. He said he wanted to do some personal business, but why isn't he back yet?"

The disappearance of Ars made Arlene aware of one thing.

"Should we ask the Leader to wait for him?"

"That's unnecessary." Arlene gave the orders. "We'll leave him."

"Leave him?! Why did you have the heart to leave him?!"

Arlene walked forward, unwilling to listen to the complaint. Because his feelings are very uncomfortable to talk to.

On the other hand, far from the safe route. In the depths of the Giant Leaf Woods. A young man who had just escaped was preparing himself.

Now is the right time for Ars to choose a new power.

"But what should I choose? Damn it! The three of them just sounds overpowered cheats!"

Ars did not want to make the wrong choice. Though, he doesn't have the time being doubtful.

Killer Bee is getting closer as Ars continues to be silent in doubt. The monster seemed to know who brings the [Bad Omen] with them when there are no people around.

"Aaaarrrgghhh, because all three are good! I'll just choose random!"

Ars closed his eyes, then let his left index finger choose his new power.

[Congratulation]

"Wow!"

Ars chose a surprising choice.

"Groooarrr!"

Killer Bee is getting closer.

"Holy shit!"

[Eyes of the Dragon - activated]

Instantly, Ars's gaze became strange and made him dizzy.

"Wtf?"

"Groar!"

"FUCK ME!"
