Chapter 25

In fact, he dared entering the dungeon with Yoon Seora so he could properly understand her skills in a place without any eyes.

So, what he wanted to see was the fighting skills, not the pickaxe……

“It’s dazzling.”

Bang! Bang! Bang! Taking her jacket off and rolling up her shirt sleeves, Sera swung her pickaxe with a bright face.

The sound was so loud that the monsters approaching became frightened and ran away.

They didn’t even want to chase after her or catch her, so Sejun just waited for Seora to dig up her magic stones.

All of a sudden, a pile of dugged things piled up next to him.

“Heh heh, heh heh! These lumps of money!”

“……It’s scary.”

Occasionally sounding out dreary laughter in between the bangs. It was a very bizarre sight for him, who was already living his sixth life.

‘You seem to have good physical abilities.’

Her skills were still unpredictable.

To be precise, despite showing such physical abilities, the skill he could sense only belonged to an F-Rank, so it was very unbalanced.

It must be the ability of the contracted sacrament to make it like this in his eyes. If it was a top-level sacrament, there was a high possibility that she would even grow to an L-Rank.

Even now, she was strong enough to kill the harpoon snake beast in one try, so she would be a great help when attacking the labyrinth dungeon.

So he had to somehow buy her interest and lure her in. Although it might seem a little strange, nothing was more important than her skill.

Because Kang Sejun had a clear goal of attacking the labyrinth dungeon.

This time, once in for all, he would surely kill the monster cub that existed in the last labyrinth.

Crunch! Kang Sejun clenched his teeths. His black eyes were filled with the red aura of anger.

The bastard monster that had taken his life so many times.

This time he would definitely kill it.

***

“Haaa. Physical labor takes time but it couldn’t be more rewarding.”

Seora wiped her forehead with a clear and fresh face.

The mined up magic stones were piled up on one side of the cave.

Her heart was full, and suddenly the world looked more beautiful, and she felt like she could show everyone mercy.

“Uh, what is it? Regressor, what did you do without catching a single monster? Huh? The rest are working so hard, why are you fooling around?”

With the pickaxe back in her inventory, Seora found Sejun sitting next to her and frowned.

Sejun made a ridiculous expression on his face.

“Is working for your money also labor?”

“It’s physical labor. So, why didn’t you catch the monsters? You said you could control your power. If it takes too long, the chief will think it’s strange.”

Maybe he would come into the dungeon. Seora hurriedly put the magic stones into her inventory.

“Yes, because the sound of the pickaxe scared the monsters and ran away. Now that there are no more magic stones and the area is clean I will catch them.”

“By the way, what kind of monsters are here? I was distracted by the magic stones, so I couldn’t see it.”

Kang Sejun’s face darkened. Indeed, it was a little strange to mumble something.

“Why?”

“If I had seen it, I wouldn’t have been quiet, but I thought it was strange. Do you know that monsters that inhabit the Magic Stone Cave are mainly ones that eat magic stones ?”

“Oh right. It was……”

Seora, who had been talking up to that point, stopped moving. Wait, wait.

“Monsters that eat magic stones grow minerals from their bodies……?”

“It will grow.”

“And since it comes from the body of a monster, it’s more expensive than these ordinary magic crystals……?”

“Expensive.”

A bright flower bloomed on Seora’s face. Her face was even brighter than when she first entered the cave.

Having moved all of the leftover Magic Stones to her inventory, she immediately took out her regeneration jacket, put it on, and picked up her weapon hit.

She was instantly ready for battle.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going? If you won’t go, I will catch all the monsters.”

Sejun looked at her bewildered, this girl was trying to rob even the soul of this cave.

“Do you know what to call people like you? It is said to be monsters created by capitalism.”

“It is the basic knowledge of modern people living in a difficult world. Don’t go if you don’t want to. I will catch them all.”

Seora took the lead and walked with a happy face. Sejun, who shook his head, followed her.

Maybe it wouldn’t be that difficult to attract Yoon Seora.

‘The by-products from the labyrinth dungeon are as expensive as huge meteorites.’

Of course, it was a dangerous place to go to, so he would try throwing bait first.

“They are gathering over there. Sir mage, make sure to not use fire magic. Because the magic stones embedded in the monster’s body cannot be damaged.”

“I said I could control my firepower. My years as a returnee are not that short. It was enough time to hone my skills.”

“I don’t think you have repeated it once or twice.”

Even though she had already seen that he repeated 5 regressions, Seora pretended not to know.

“If it was only once or twice, it wouldn’t be strange if you weren’t there before.”

Well, it turned out that she was right.

“What the hell is your sacrament? If It can completely cover my eyes like this it must be really strong. Come to think of it, they said that even the S-Rank community didn’t get any notification of your arrival.”

“There is one. They cherish me a lot…… God.”

It wasn’t a sacrament, but anyway, it had the same powers as God, so let’s just call it a God for now.

【Administrator: (*´∀`*)ゞ】

Fortunately, he didn’t seem to dislike it.

“Then why do you keep asking about my sacrament? What is your sacrament?”

“Hourglass.”

“……Huh?”

“The hourglass that governs fate and time. It is all thanks to the power of the sacrament that I am able to regress.”

Kang Sejun’s information that she secretly peaked on had clearly said ‘the hourglass of destiny’.

But she didn’t think it was a real hourglass, and not a nickname.

“But is the reason for your regression because of your sacrament, or is it something else?”

Seora asked a sharp question. Sejun made a face as if he was stabbed off guard.

He hesitated, then sighed and nodded his head.

“I was right when I first went back. After all, I had to die miserably because I couldn’t achieve my goal.”

“Uh, um…… I’m sorry.”

She didn’t know that the story of his death would suddenly come out, so Seora apologized with an awkward face.

She understood now. Regression happened after death. In other words, it meant that Sejun had died five times.

‘Let’s be understanding even if that guy is acting like an idiot…… If he died five times, it’s only natural that his personality would be worn out.’

Suddenly she felt really sorry for him.

“Monster, they are over there.”

But that too only lasted a moment. When Sejun pointed his chin inward, Seora quickly shook off her emotions and focused.

“It’s an ore rhino!”

The noses of the gathered monsters were stuffed with hard ore-like horns.

The nutrients of the magic stone that was eaten by the ore rhinos as a regular food were very expensive because it was used to make advanced recovery potions.

“This is a lot of money here. It’s like being in a diamond mine.”

Seora murmured, Drunk with happiness.

“It’s a horn ore. The Guardian Spirit Guild will buy it with eyes open.”

The Guardian Spirit Guild had the largest number of healers and mages in Korea.

So, rather than attacking the dungeon alone, they tend to collaborate with other guilds or put a lot of effort into making potions, thanks to that they would buy any items to help make them.

The horn ore was no exception.

“Yoon Seora, let me make a suggestion.”

“Huh?”

“You’re gonna sell them in the store anyway, aren’t you? You can’t make a deal directly with the Guardian Spirit Guild because you’re hiding your S-rank status.”

“Right.”

“Give it to me. I will negotiate with the Guardian Spirit Guild and sell it instead.”

Seora’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.

“You?”

“Item shops charge a transaction fee. It wouldn’t be a bad offer for you, as it doesn’t cost me that much if I trade directly without going through a store.”

“That means……”

“Yeah, I won’t charge a fee. I mean, I will give it to you for free.”

Seora blinked her eyes. Certainly, if it was through Kang Sejun, the Guardian Spirit guild would not be able to beat the price or cheat.

It really wasn’t a bad offer.

“Why? Why are you even going to do that?”

“Can I ask you a favor instead?”

“I don’t have anything because I’m just a poor civil servant.”

“It is not a material request. Just, if I ask for help later, think about it once. It’s okay to refuse, I just hope you at least give it some serious thought.”

“Is there even anything an L-Rank can ask me for help for?”

“Because I can’t solve everything.”

Somehow, Sejun’s smile seemed bitter. But at the same time, he also looked very angry.

It seemed that he remembered some point in the past where something happened to him.
