Darky and Murky

Three days passed in the blink of an eye as Shye, Zeth, and Nookie passed their time at a nearby expert adventurer zone around Kossin City.

Unfortunately, being an academy city, there were no Death Zones nearby. 

As a result, despite the lack of challenge, the trio decided to hunt within the zone, allowing Nookie to replenish its (A)-ranked puppets and slowly increase Zeth's strength through monster cores.

Now, the scrawny necrollin had a total of ten (A) ranked puppets, seven (S-) ranked ones, and six (S) ranked ones including the Stygian Garuda's corpse, which was now its most cherished possession.

It was a decent increase in strength.

...As Shye hurried back to Kossin City, an excited smile spread across his face. He couldn't wait to collect his commissioned weapons.

He was quite the sentimental guy.
