He didnât think it would be Auto Hunting, so his mouth was frozen seeing it.
Of course, he wasnât speechless because of negative reasons. A smile bloomed on his face.
[Obtained Poison Pouch of Poison Lizards x2]
The black circles returned back to Soo Hyuk.
âWhat about the cooldown? How many minutes do they last?â
Yeon Jeung asked when the black circles returned back.
âThere is no cooldown because itâs summoning magic. It lasts 10 minutes.â
Summoning magic is different from normal magic.
There is some summoning magic with a cooldown time but most of them could be called high tier. Normal summoning magic doesnât have a cooldown time.
And because there is no cooldown, the Skill Level will rise depending on the time summoned, not the number of times summoned.
âThey last 10 minutes? Then mass summoning them would be impossible?â
âYes. When I summon new ones, the previous ones disappear.â
Soo Hyuk thought while answering Yeon Jeung.
âAwesome.â
It wasnât that he didnât think about it at all, but the idea of Auto Hunting monsters was very exciting.
âBut does it only attack monsters?â
âHuh?â
âI was wondering, does it attack all living things or just monsters?â
Soo Hyuk was surprised by Yeon Jeungâs question.
âCome to think of itâŚâ
The Children of Darkness attacked the monsters but is it really just monsters?
âI should check it once.â
Soo Hyuk said.
Once someone is friendly and is in the party, they wonât be attacked under those circumstances. But what about the NPCs and users who arenât friendly? What if the Children of Darkness attack them?
It would be a big problem. He needed confirmation.
âIs it in the book?â
Of course, he didnât need to experiment in order to check it.
The conditions of the <What is Dark Magic?> book in the Matab library should already be satisfied.
The book would have additional information about the skill <Children of Darkness>.
âFirst of all, letâs go.â
Soo Hyuk started walking again.
âŚ
âOh, where did that guy go?â
Allion swung his dagger and went through the bush.
Presently, Allion was looking for a soldier from the Fade Kingdom that was spying on their hideout.
âHe wouldnât have gone far in that state.â
The soldier had suffered fatal injuries and should be around there somewhere.
âThis Way⌠This wayâŚâ
6 oâclock (TL Note: Direction according to hands of a clock)
There were footsteps of two people.
Allion secretly moved to the place where the footsteps could be heard.
As he arrived at his destination, he smiled. It was because he could see two men walking as expected.
He couldnât see the soldier among them, but it didnât matter.
âI havenât tried my hand at battling in a long time.â
After coming here, Allion hasnât robbed anyone from the Fade Kingdom in a long time .
Allion looked at the men excitedly.
It was then.
Squeak!
Allion lowered his head toward the sound beneath his feet.
âHuh?â
A question mark appeared on his face.
âWhat is this?â
It was because there was a black circle under him.
Tsuak!
Sharp thorns popped up from the circle. The distance was too close and the speed was too fast to avoid them.
The black thorns penetrated through Allion.
He was surprised seeing the black thorns pierce his stomach.
Seak!
At that moment, his eyes became dark.
It wasnât that they became dark because of a desperate situation. Allionâs eyes literally became dark.
His vision was filled with darkness as if he closed his eyes.
Was it because he couldnât see even when he opened his eyes? Or was it because of the black thorns that pierced him?
As he choked, his mind began to blur.
âOh, what is this?â
Allion soon lost his mind and collapsed. He would never wake up again.
After a while, someone appeared next to Allion.
âAllion?â
That someone was his colleague, Cater.
He checked Allionâs condition and when he learned that he was dead, he stood up and began to check his surroundings.
Allion was pierced and killed. However, there were no such monsters in the Damp Wetlands.
He checked the surroundings again and was able to find some traces.
He could see the footprints of two people.
Then, he returned to Allionâs body full of excitement.
âWas he trying to rob them all alone? And the situation became like this? Wow.â
Cater smiled and lifted Allionâs body. He turned around and began walking.
âŚ
âYou said that Poison Frogs were not hostile monsters?â
âHuh.â
Soo Hyuk nodded at Yeon Jeung.
âThen they will attack whether itâs a hostile or non-hostile monsterâŚâ
He murmured and opened the Drop Window.
[Poison Frogâs Feet x3]
Just before the Children of Darkness disappeared, a Drop Window appeared.
They caught Poison Frogs. However, unlike Poison Lizards, Poison Frogs were non-hostile monsters.
It was then.
[Level Up!]
The Drop Window updated after the level up message.
[Obtained Kranus Token]
Soo Hyuk glanced at the drop window.
Only a level up message should have appeared but the window stated the contrary.
The Children of Darkness were still circling around.
What on earth did they defeat that dropped an item?
Soo Hyuk clicked on the <Kranus Token> in his inventory to learn more information about the item.
<Kranus Token [Special]>
Itâs a proof of being a member of Kranus, a group of continental-level murderers.
Bring it to the Fade Empire Bounty Office to receive a quest.
â?â
Even checking the information about the token didnât solve his doubts.
âWhere did this come from?â
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldnât figure out why it was dropped.
âWhat is it?â
Yeon Jeung asked.
âAn item called <Kranus Token> was dropped.â
âHuh? Kranus?â
Soo Hyukâs answer surprised Yeon Jeung.
âYou know about it?â
âOh, of course I know! Itâs a group of murderers wanted throughout the continent. The crazy NPC named Pain, who is being chased by the Fade Kingdom, belongs to it. But how was the token dropped?â
âItâs weird⌠I donât think a monster would have dropped this.â
Soo Hyuk looked around and said.
âWas there someone around here?â
âCheck the quest. If someone was killed, then the number would rise.â
At Yeon Jeungâs call, Soo Hyuk opened the quest window and confirmed the special quest <Wisdom of the Killer>.
<Wisdom of the Killer [Special]>
Meet the condition below and you will be able to obtain the Wisdom of the Killer.
Kills: 77/100
Quest Reward: Wisdom Stat Enhancement
The kill count rose from 76 to 77 from when he last killed Doha.
âIs this for real?
Soo Hyuk closed the quest window and looked around.
Yeon Jeung was also on the lookout.
Just then, the Children of Darkness, who had gone to explore around them, returned.
Their return meant that there were no more monsters nearby.
Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung relaxed after seeing them.
âWhy was he here?â
âOkay. What now?â
âShould we look for the body?â
âWouldnât it disappear while we are looking for it?â
âIs that so?â
Soo Hyuk started walking while talking.
Wheeing!
Shortly after they started walking, they could hear the sounds of Bees from above. Soo Hyuk raised his head and looked up.
Giant Beehives were attached to the tree.
âWe are halfway across.â
Yeon Jeung said.
Poison Lizards and Poison Frogs are spread throughout the Damp Wetlands. However, the Poison Bees only live at the center, which is the most humid.
The presence of beehives meant that they were halfway across.
âIt took me 6 hours to get here the first time.â
It was the first time for Soo Hyuk but not for Yeon Jeung.
He had been here all by himself before. He looked at Soo Hyuk while thinking about the time it took him to reach here in the past.
âAt this speed, we will reach the Enchanted Forest today.â
If they keep moving at this pace, it seems like they will be able to reach the Enchanted Forest tonight.
âThere is no reaction even when their own kind is dying?â
At Soo Hyukâs words, Yeon Jeung came back to reality.
He looked to where Soo Hyukâs gaze was focused.
âWow!â
The Children of Darkness were constantly spewing thorns and killing Poison Bees.
However, the Poison Bees wandering around showed no interest, even when their own kind was killed.
âAs I told you. You just have to not touch the hive.â
Yeon Jeung said while smiling. Bees come all the way when their own kind are attacked. However, the poisoning of the Damp Wetlands here is insane, so they wonât come, even when their own race is attacked.
âWhat would happen if I used Fire Storm here?â
Soo Hyuk raised his head and saw the Beehive attached to the tree.
Numerous Poison Bees entered and exited it.
âIt will destroy a lot of things around but would the Fire Storm reach there?â
âNo, it wonât go up that high.â
The tree was huge and the hive was at an enormous height. Moreover, this place was full of moisture.
Fire Storm wouldnât be able to display its full power.
âThen letâs go find a better place than here!â
âOkay.â
Yeon Jeung took the lead after hearing Soo Hyukâs answer.
After looking at the Beehive and the Poison Bees with a regretful expression, Soo Hyuk followed after Yeon Jeung.
The Children of Darkness followed him as he moved and steadily attacked Poison monsters.
[Level Up!]
Soo Hyuk leveled up due to the brave hunt by the Children of Darkness. Then, he headed towards his next destination.
âŚ
âIf they could kill Allion then they arenât just some weaklings.â (ED Note: Originally it was translated as 'strandsâ here like a strand of hair is weak but I felt weaklings would fit better in context.)
âRight.â
Painâs gang gathered around in front of his room and shouted.
âYou said there were two of them?â
âHuh, you can have one of them.â
âShould we share the other one?â
âDo we need to do that? Letâs just go with a first come first serve basis.â
âWhat about the soldier?â
âI couldnât find him.â
âWhat?â
âDonât be surprised man. He must have died on the way.â
As the gang giggled, the door opened.
When Pain came out, the gang closed their mouths and focused on him.
Pain walked over and sat down on the chair in the center.
âEveryone gather!â
He beckoned the gang, no, his brothers and sisters to come over.
They approached him from the front.
âAs everyone knows, our brother Allion is dead.
Pain opened his mouth with a plain look.
âThere are two criminals. Those two are headed towards the Heavenly Lake.â
Cater, who brought over Allionâs body, was currently tracking them and sending information.
âIâm thinking of taking revenge for Allion before they leave the Damp Wetlands. Is anyone against it?â
Pain asked a question and confirmed their reactions.
Of course, no one opposed it.

Rather, their expressions were full of anger.
Pain got up from his seat, followed by his excited brothers and sisters.
