CHAPTER 43 Stat

As if telling him to leave, the Labyrinth shook intensely again.

Warning: Due core of the Labyrinth being destroyed the Labyrinth is in the process of collapsing.

Time Remaining: 4:30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25....

'Ha! Ha? We didn't destroy anything besides this throne, does it imply the throne of self was the core of Labyrinth?

Good to know I guess

"The place is in the process of collapsing, So let's just get out of here," I told him to which Yoo Jinho nodded with a sign as he must have thought that some kind of monster was coming.

So after I said this I quickly put all the weapons that were inside of the throne and then I lifted Yoo Jinho and threw him on my left shoulder like a potato shack.

"Wh-what are you doing Hyungnim?" he asked me with an embarrassed face. To which I replied. "The Labyrinth will collapse in under four minutes, So unless you have a way to travel more than 5 km in 4 minutes while also avoiding any chaos that is happening outside the place is plummeting, monsters are running wild."

As he looked at me with wide eyes and realized the situation and just nodded while I started to run at my top speed.

"Nonetheless this is so embarrassing"

"Asked me that, do you want me to carry you in Princess carry," I asked him with a smile on my face.

"No hell no" he replied quickly.

Even though I was running much faster we were clearly able to hear each other. As I saw the whole place was crumbling and monsters were running around trying to save themselves.

Sadly I didn't have time to end them so I kept running avoiding any monster or falling wall that came in front of me.

Don't worry I also don't like a dude's ass on my shoulder. I much prefer a beautiful woman with big tits and a round petite ass."

I told him truthfully to which his face turned even radder. Teenagers these days get embarrassed with anything, particularly in Asian countries.

With my level up we reached the exit in just a few seconds which just goes to show how many levels I gained from this place. This raid was the most successful with the most rewarding raid that I had of course. It was no less dangerous.

We reached in front of the gate that was still red but now the force field that stopped us from getting out had disappeared.

And once I felt that gate would close any second we both exited the place.

I looked around and saw everyone looking very nervously but I didn't have time to answer their bullshit about why it took us so long to clear the place.

I was tired, not physically as but mentally as even though status recovery gets rid of anything it seems a negative status I still felt like I want to sleep.

Thankfully, it appeared that the team we brought didn't call the association which is a good thing as I don't want to come in contact with them especially now, now I just want to go home and sleep.

Yoo Jinho approached me and bowed his head,

"Sorry, Hyungnim, this is it for today. The other Gates are too far."

"Nothing to be sorry about."

The twilight is shining in the sky welcoming the young night, but because of our efforts, all the Gates in the area had been closed, so they would have to call it a day.

Even though everyone wanted to ask, it took us so long to clear this dungeon, they didn't raise any questions, and their contract didn't give them the right to ask us questions…

"You've worked hard."

"Oh, the one who worked hard is the Raid leader."

"I'll see you tomorrow"

"Thank you, you've worked hard."

After bidding the other Hunters goodbye, I and Yoo Jinho got in the car.

"I'll drive you home, hyungnim."

Before I knew it, Yoo Jinho had become a faithful driver. The image of him holding the handle was rather fitting. I blatantly stared at the young man.

'To think that the young master of a rich household would become a chauffeur, just so he can become a Guildmaster…'

Or he thinks I am tired after all that.

Stepping on the gas with a smile, Yoo Jinho suddenly realized I was staring at him.

"Hmm? Is there something on my face, hyungnim?"

"...No, it's nothing."

I pretended to not have stared and took out my phone as a distraction.

'6:46…'

It was too early to go home. But I didn't care. I just wanted to have some good sleep and plan what I want to do moving forward.

ring ring

I started to answer his phone out of habit but stopped when I realized it was a number I had never seen before.

'Who?'

'There shouldn't be anyone I don't know calling me…'

After a brief pause, I picked up.

"Hello."

- "Hello, is this Sung Jinwoo-SSI?"

A clear and well-spoken male voice.

I immediately hung up.

'In my experience, 99% of these calls are telemarketing or loan sharks. Even if they aren't, I just want to have some sleep. '

I had some hunch of who it could be but I just want to sleep now. So I turned on the flight mode and put the phone in my pocket.

"Yoo Jinho," I called him out.

"Yes hyungnim" he answers me while glancing at me.

"I am going to be very busy from tomorrow," I told him as he instantly snapped and looked at me without care about the road.

After all, even if the worst of the worst accident happened we both still would be unharmed by the accident. The same couldn't be said for other parties though...

"W-what do you mean by that hyungnim," he asked with a fearful face as his target was still unachieved

"Well what you heard I am going on a break." but don't worry once this break is done it will speed up our cleaning up," I told him truthfully.

As I knew now I can't be late anymore, I just touched the death doors and returned back. Dungeons are very unpredictable places death comes even from the weakest dungeons.

Additionally, it involves higher power so I don't want to waste my time anymore. This is a game of life and death. And I can't be a problem for myself.

"So how long will this break last?" he asked, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"I am also not sure about that but it shouldn't last more than a week." and looked at me and saw his concerned face. "Don't worry I will fulfil the contract we made.

And once I am done with the work I am going to do, it will greatly boost our speed. We will clear five to six dungeons a day, you could even throw A-rank dungeons in there.

Imagine how good it will look on resume-clearing A-rank dungeons. In fact, if you want you could even disclose the information about the labyrinth we just cleared."

My words were like whispers of the devil and they brought a wide smile to his face.

"Yes hyungnim, try your best, as I do know you can clear an A-rank dungeon by looking at your last fight alone with the creature of myths," as he looked at me with a bright smile and said, "And you also don't worry about the booked gates I will just resell them back to some guild. So do your best.".

Hearing him I nodded as I started to look at the notification I was ignoring all this time.

[Survivor

Doubles HP Gained from Strength/ Constitution.]

An explosive growth that was attained through several life-or-death battles. Along with levels I gained such amazing new skills to my ever growing list of abilities.

It's fantastic that I gained all three most important skills that I really wanted and these skills are the ones that saved me from the jaws of death.

And one isn't much useful but it's better than nothing.

I can't believe I gained these skills with a wonderful title from a single fight but again I could have died in that fight. So skills are nothing in front of my life. And I don't ever want to do that again.

Now let's see what it gave me

Minotaur's Cape

Rarity: A

Type: Armor

Attack Power +50

Magic Defence: +20%

Minotaur's Robe is a blue cloth imbued with the power of a Minotaur and made out of the skin of Minotaur, being able to reduce the power of magical attacks by 20%, except for shockwaves.

You may keep this item in your inventory.

You may sell this item in the shop.

Why would I do that? Yes, it doesn't look good. And not to mention I am not a cape type of guy. But with equip function, I don't need to care about that shit.

So with those thoughts in my mind, I instantly equipped the cape. I didn't feel any different after all it's just passive boosts.

Now onto the next.

Bull's Horn.

Rarity: A- -

Type: Blade

Attack Power +50

A crimson blade that was created from the larger horn of the Minotaur. It's a strong blade that is harder to break and even harder to damage.

Gives the extra 20% boosted damage on species similar to Bulls.

You may keep this item in your inventory.

You may sell this item in the shop.

Mm, it's a bit bigger than the usual Daggers I used, but I could still find some uses for it, unlike the Silver Scythe Which has been lying like this in my inventory for so many days.

Now let's see next, I was patiently waiting all this time. I was most excited and curious to read its description. My heart was beating fast as it was similar to Casaka's Venom Gland which gave me an amazing boost.

Asuteriosu's Heart

Rarity: S-

Type: Elixir/Consumable

The Heart of 'Asuteriosu contains the essence of Asuteriosu, 5% of all the stat of 'Asuteriosu. Eating will give you a permanent boost in all your stat by 5% of the stats of 'Asuteriosu.

This heart Asuteriosu will refine your muscles, bones, and blood making higher quality and natter quantity than a normal humanoid.

Upon consummation player will gain the skill "Charge of The Bull King"

Super Rare drop from Asuteriosu.

You may keep this item in your inventory.

Holy shit, Since when did I become such a lucky person, since when have the gacha gods been so kind to me?

If so why haven't I noticed until now this is more than just amazing. It's fabulous, after all the minotaur was stronger than me that's why he was able to beat the shit out of me even after I threw so many spells and physical attacks on him.

With skills that allowed him to cheat death or extend periods of time. And A skill that literally doubles his stats.

This also comes with its one skill. I don't know much about it and information won't be disclosed until I eat the heart.

This is incredible; it gives a passive and active skill, each with varying stats depending on the type.

So it is considered more valuable than a treasure to an adventurer.

"Hyungnim we are here"

"Ha?" I was so lost in my own thoughts that I didn't even determine that we had reached my home.

"Thanks," I said while getting out of the car.

"No, need Hyungnim it was nothing" As he looked at me with a puzzled face before he said, " By the way Hyungnim when are you planning to see those monster corps you know we have a lot to sell."

"You are right I do have too many of them, but seeing so many in the market could create so many problems. So I am planning to sell them after becoming the 10th S-rank of Koria."

I told him and walked away. I saw he had won't eyes and a stunned face. He wanted to ask the question but he didn't as I saw alredy gone from his line of sight.

While walking I continue to scroll through the notification letting my body on autopilot.

Let's see now the treasures I got from inside the throne.

Gem +30 Attack

Gem+ 70 Defence

Gem + 90 Attack

Gem + 130 Defence

Gem + 150 Attack

Gem + 300 Attack + Multistrike

Gem + 40 Agility

Gem + 50 Stamina

Gem + 30 Sense

…

…

…

..

So the list goes on with that I have fifteen of these gems that give different types of boosts for equipment.

Of course, there is a clear warning that I can't equip them with my tools or gear. It could only be done by a professional high class smith.

And that's a big problem where I could even find that type of smith.

Maybe it could be the one who forged Kamish's Wrath, a pair of daggers crafted from the fang of the dragon Kamish.

Now there is much of equipment like

Shimine Ring

The Ring Of Laika

Bolton's Amulet,

Ende's Shield

Alestra's Bracelet

Caldan's Dagger

Merculeus Boots

Goddess Fara's Earrings

Ring Of Alestra

Ebony Bow

Sword of Sealth

Midnight

Book of Dragon Age: Origins

MoonLight Skewer

Law of Labyrinths

The Key of Sazardon Labyrinth

....
