'This is really a jackpot.'

Adhitte simply swung her dagger a few times at the vital points found by her skills. Some monsters continued to advance even as they saw the herd fall.

During his hunt, Helena was not silent in the slightest. That vampire woman kept telling Adhitte not to kill them all. Even though Adhitte had explained that what she was after was their weakness to move, not their life center.

Helena continued to use her method. She directed some of the monsters to stab each other with their teeth while still watching Adhitte who quickly paralyzed some of the monsters.

Brugh!

One monster managed to lunge at Adhitte, knocking her to the ground. She immediately twisted her body and lifted the monster high with her hands.

Stab!

Adhitte easily thrust the dagger into the monster's head. That monster was the only one of their herd to be stabbed in the head. There was no doubt, the monster was dead.

The blood of the stabbed monster spurted onto Adhitte's face, making she swear softly and wipe her face with the sleeve of her jacket. She saw Helena approaching her with an annoyed face.

"You want to look strong in my eyes, huh?" Despite her annoyance, Helena continued to flirt as usual.

Adhitte replied, "I'm just testing my strength."

Helena chuckled at that answer. Adhitte saw that Helena's dress had no stains at all. That woman's movements during the fight were also familiar. A lot of her skin was too visible. If Helena lived in Korea, she would probably be called a bitch or something.

A handkerchief outstretched, Adhitte took it from Helena's hand. The two of them looked at the monsters that had been taken down. There were only about less than fifty monsters that were taken down.

"You're going to take these as your experimental materials?" Adhitte asked as she wiped the remnants of monster blood off her face.

Helena took the hand fan that she had stored somewhere on her body and covered her face. "We only used five. The rest should be skinned and sold to the merchant guilds in the Tryton Kingdom."

Adhitte frowned. "Don't vampires need materialistic things like money?"

Helena laughed seductively. She winked one eye. "Do you think the tools I use are made by myself? The land of this continent is dominated by the human population and obviously their industries are more developed. I need to transact with them as well."

She crouched down, then picked up several monsters and carried them with one hand. As a vampire, she did have strength above the average human.

"Help me carry these." Helena dragged the monsters with both hands.

Adhitte paused, before finally opening his mouth. "Inventory for the party."

[Inventory opened!]

[Inventory opened for all party members!]

[Due to the small level, storage is limited!]

[Number of items that can be stored: 0/100]

Helena looked surprised at the notification window that appeared. "What is this?"

Adhitte didn't answer her. She simply approached Helena and pulled out the monsters Helena had brought. Adhitte said nothing and put the monsters towards the notification window that appeared.

[Number of items that can be saved: 1/100]

[Number of items that can be saved: 3/100]

Helena then understood Adhitte's movements. She immediately dragged a few more monsters and followed Adhitte's movement of putting the monsters into the notification window.

[Number of items that can be saved: 8/100]

"This is more practical than me having to carry it back and forth every day. By the way, thank you." Helena said as she continued dragging the monsters.

Adhitte did not reply. She focused on putting the monsters into the inventory while Helena dragged some monsters over to her.

Until finally, Helena took the last remaining monster that Adhitte stabbed with a dagger. Helena threw it back and said, "It can't be used because the poison has spread to other organs."

[Number of items that can be saved: 41/100]

"It's no different as usual. The number of land monsters remains the same once every week I come here. Well, congratulations on your first education as a hunter in this world, Adhitte-nim." Helena patted Adhitte on the shoulder and walked ahead of her.

That world was indeed different from the worlds Adhitte had visited before. The hunters there were different from the hunters on earth. On some earths, there were hunters who were awakened with extraordinary powers to deal with the monsters in the dungeons that appeared. There are also some that have mysterious towers, then some humans enter there to practice fighting monsters and continue to climb the tower. The hunter in that world is the one who keeps fighting monsters instead of climbing the tower.

The hunter in the fantasy world was ... just like the word hunter itself literally means. They are only tasked with hunting. Whether it's hunting monsters or ordinary animals. Because that world was already attached to mana and some other powers.

Adhitte followed Helena's steps from behind. He must continue to find a way to enter the main quest in the game, which is to return to the parallel earth track.

"I want to be a strong and famous person."

Arthur muttered as he rested his head on the table. His face looked very tired, like it was drained of blood. He seemed to be doing a lot of exercise.

Dean looked at Arthur like he was the annoying neighbor kid. He ignored him and looked out the window. It was already night, so the moon that appeared in the sky looked beautiful to Dean.

Arthur had been grumbling in Dean's private office inside the Sea Blue Bar. Dean was there because he wanted to change the ownership of the bar directly under his name because he didn't want to hide anymore. It was to surprise Crown Prince Xavier with the sudden arrival of the K-Night Guild that immediately controlled the trade flow within the Marithus Kingdom after obtaining permission.

Leon, who had been going back and forth from outside to inside Dean's office to ask for a signature, could only remain silent at Arthur's behavior. That man looked like a schoolboy who got a small grade in the exam.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Roby's head emerged from the open door. He passed Leon who wanted to leave the room. Behind Roby, there was someone who used a black cloak to cover his body.

"Leon seems to be very busy as he goes back and forth carrying documents from here to the notary here." Roby commented after seeing Dean at the window as usual.

He also saw Arthur who was resting his head against the table while muttering incoherently. "What's wrong with Young Duke-nim?"

Dean didn't answer. He just sighed before walking over to the table to get something. He picked up a small pouch there.

It wasn't that he didn't want to tell, but Arthur was like that because he knew his brother Sandy's strength firsthand. Arthur asked Dean to find out about Sandy's mother and his mother, but Dean refused because he had a promise with Kalypt. So all this time, Arthur was babbling incoherently because he felt his position was threatened by his own brother. Even though that man alone doesn't know the truth.

Roby accepted the pouch and commented, "Is Lady Cindy's part here too?"

The person who had been covering his face with a hood, opened his hood. Count Rubel's face, which was becoming brighter with each passing day, was revealed. He wore a condescending expression as he looked at Arthur.

He answered Roby's question. "Cindy has already received some sponsorship from the nobility. So your guild no longer needs material support."

Count Rubel then looked at Arthur. "This bastard looks like someone who eats dog poop. Hey, stop being so insecure. You want to run for central politics with your weak mental state like that?"

Arthur immediately raised his head. He looked at Count Rubel angrily, but couldn't let it out because what he said was true. "Your mouth is still the same trash."

Count Rubel clucked and ignored him. He looked at Dean with his usual admiring gaze. "Dean-nim, Cindy has made it to the list of participants for the mage qualification test of the Marithus Kingdom. If the result is high, she can be admitted to the Magic Tower. However, if the result is low, she can only become a palace mage."

Dean nodded at that. He looked at Arthur who was still showing a face that was not pleasing to the eye. Even though everything looked like Arthur just accepted it. However, in reality it was Arthur who directed Dean to keep moving. With just one direction, Dean could move freely thanks to Arthur.

Count Rubel also felt the same way. Especially during the court, it was true that the upper nobility even wanted to plunge him. If it wasn't for Arthur's plan, Count Rubel might have become a suspect by now.

Dean also felt that Kalypt and Arthur were very similar. Both of them could always direct. Moreover, the presence of the two who suddenly approached him. Who exactly were they?
