<p><span style=text-indent: 1em; font-size: 18px !important; data-p-id=3 data-original-font-size=20 data-original-line-height=32>[Khamish’s egg!]</span></p>

<p>Suho asked with a puzzled expression as he saw Berg jumping next to him in surprise.</p>

<p>“Why? Is this a name you know?”</p>

<p>[Of course I know! Kamish is…!]</p>

<p>Ber spoke passionately and told Suho about the red dragon Kamish.</p>

<p>Suho nodded after hearing the whole story.</p>

<p>“I see. “It’s the egg of a light dragon that my father met when he was young.”</p>

<p>[Yes. Kamish was one of the prisoners of war captured by the rulers during their war with them. So I think this is an egg that Kamish laid before he went to war.]</p>

<p>Suho felt strange while listening to Ber’s explanation.</p>

<p>“Hmm. Maybe…”</p>

<p>’Someday the dragon that will be born from this egg will become a descendant of the Dragon Emperor.'</p>

<p>Suho who was looking closely at Kamish’s egg couldn’t help but think of this thought.</p>

<p>When I looked back at the series of events I had experienced so far the probability of that happening was very high.</p>

<p>Laura who was listening to the conversation between Su-ho and Ber then relayed to Su-ho what Cha Hae-in said when he handed over Kamish’s egg.</p>

<p>“Cha Hae-in said it would be a good idea to put this in the shadow dungeon.”</p>

<p>“It would definitely be better.”</p>

<p>Suho nodded.</p>

<p>After Cha Hae-in discovered this egg in the tomb of the dragons he thought a lot about what to do with it.</p>

<p>It would be a waste to just break it.</p>

<p>But I feel uncomfortable just leaving it in its original place.</p>

<p>In the end what I came up with was Suho’s Shadow Dungeon.</p>

<p>No matter what monster was born from this egg in the future it would be safe if the location was the Shadow Dungeon.</p>

<p>It was a good idea.</p>

<p>“Thank you for letting us know. “I think we can dispose of this egg as my mother said.”</p>

<p>Suho immediately thanked Laura and Laura then opened the second bag she brought.</p>

<p>“And this is the high-grade magic stone you asked for last time.”</p>

<p>At the same time Lee Chae appeared in Suho and Ber’s eyes.</p>

<p>Surprisingly the number of advanced magic stones in the bag was not just one.</p>

<p>“You got three?”</p>

<p>“Yes. Of course it wasn’t easy. Since the number of high-grade magic gemstones available on the market was very small bidding competition was a bit fierce.”</p>

<p>Year 2 of Cataclysm.</p>

<p>The hunter industry is still in the early stages of development so there are endless things to develop but there is always a lack of resources so there is a thirst for it.</p>

<p>In particular the high-grade magic stones that hunters retrieved from dungeons are truly the rarest of rare items.</p>

<p>They were available on the market and the scientific community and the hunter industry were trying hard to get them.</p>

<p>So of course the price was not cheap.</p>

<p>“It must have been very expensive but thank you very much.”</p>

<p>“Not much to say. If you think of it as the price of our boss’s life would this be a problem?”</p>

<p>Laura promised that she would bring it again if she found a high-grade magic stone.</p>

<p>“…and now is the real point.”</p>

<p>With a stern expression Laura slowly turned her gaze to look at her subordinates who were currently in Woojin Guild’s office.</p>

<p>Then as if they had promised in advance the Scavenger Guild employees left the office.</p>

<p>“From now on if it becomes known to the outside world there may be some sensitive content.”</p>

<p>“Oh our guild members are fine.”</p>

<p>“I understand.”</p>

<p>Anyway the only members of Suho’s guild were Lim Do-gyun and Esil and they weren’t people who would go around sharing secrets.</p>

<p>On the contrary Su-ho caught Lim Do-gyun as he got scared and tried to secretly follow the Scavenger employees out.</p>

<p>“You should know this too.”</p>

<p>“No I don’t think you need to know…”</p>

<p>Lim Do-gyun was feeling uneasy as the scale of Su-ho’s activities these days was becoming more and more unbearable.</p>

<p>However there was no way to escape because Lim Do-gyun was in charge of most of the work except combat.</p>

<p>Esil sat next to Suho as if it didn’t matter.</p>

<p>Suho plugged the USB stick that Laura first handed him into his laptop and Laura explained it by displaying the video files in the data on the screen.</p>

<p>“Then please watch this video.”</p>

<p>“Christopher Reed?”</p>

<p>The face that appeared on the screen was Christopher Reed an American S-class hunter who was killed by Thomas Andre.</p>

<p>“This is data discovered during our current investigation. “Christopher Reed was receiving psychiatric counseling periodically after awakening as an S-class hunter.”</p>

<p>As Laura said in the video Christopher Reed was having a conversation with a psychologist.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>-…I don’t know why I feel so empty these days. Do other awakened people feel this way too?</p>

<p>He looked quite tired and the counselor opened his mouth with an expression of not understanding.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>-Chris Other awakened people I have counseled feel the exact opposite of you. Everyone gets intoxicated with energy and feels a sense of elation.</p>

<p>-But why am I the only one who feels this way?</p>

<p>-People… sometimes feel anxious when they hit a huge jackpot that they can’t handle. You may feel better as you gradually adapt to your own strength.</p>

<p>-Are you saying it’s because I became an S-class hunter? Do you suddenly feel like you won the lottery? But sir. What I feel is a little different from that.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>Christopher Reed continued to express his feelings with a serious expression.</p>

<p>Laura showed Suho the videos he regularly received counseling in order.</p>

<p>Most of the conversations that took place in the consultation were similar.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>-Teacher I’m still anxious. I think my strength has weakened too much.</p>

<p>-Why did you think that way? Chris you are an S-class hunter.</p>

<p>-I don’t know. Although I have clearly become the pinnacle of hunters I feel weaker than before. I want to become stronger.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>“….”</p>

<p>While watching the videos Suho exchanged glances with Laura with a stern expression.</p>

<p>Laura nodded and said.</p>

<p>“That’s right. “What he was feeling is exactly what our boss was feeling not too long ago.”</p>

<p>Meanwhile Christopher Reed’s counseling videos were continuing in order in the video.</p>

<p>Most of the content was there.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>-Teacher I want to become stronger. No I think I can become stronger. But I don’t know how to do that.</p>

<p>-Teacher I thought about it carefully. Maybe there is tremendous potential hidden within me? S level or higher?</p>

<p>-Teacher I am….</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>But then.</p>

<p>Suddenly at some point Christopher Reed’s expression while receiving counseling began to change to a confident one.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>-Teacher I think I have found a clue to becoming stronger.</p>

<p>-Chris This is some good news. But what is that method?</p>

<p>-I can’t tell you that… it’s a secret. But I’m sure it is. If I use the methods that ‘they’ taught me I can definitely become stronger.</p>

<p>-Who are they?</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>“They?”</p>

<p>At that moment even Suho had doubts about those words.</p>

<p>Snap.</p>

<p>At the question asked by the counselor all expressions disappeared from Christopher Reed’s face in an instant.</p>

<p>Creepy.</p>

<p>His eyes look as if his soul has gone out.</p>

<p>Christopher Reed who had always received counseling with an empty and despondent expression had a completely different expression than before.</p>

<p>Then he looked straight at the camera lens that was recording the entire consultation process so far and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>-I don’t think I can answer that. If that were the case I would be… Anyway thank you so much teacher.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>Snap.</p>

<p>The video was paused and Laura explained further.</p>

<p>“…After that counseling session he never went to a counselor again. Instead he bought a luxurious mansion and began to live in pleasure.”</p>

<p>There were many cases where hunters lived in shamanism.</p>

<p>They were the ordinary actions of the suddenly wealthy that have existed throughout history transcending gender or age.</p>

<p>However in a way Laura conducted intensive research into Christopher Reed’s actions which were obvious.</p>

<p>I was able to discover one strange fact.</p>

<p>“But many of the people who had been invited to his mansion to visit went missing.”</p>

<p>“Poetry is missing?! Could it be murder?”</p>

<p>At those words Lim Do-gyun asked back with a frightened expression.</p>

<p>Laura shook her head slightly and responded.</p>

<p>“Hmm. If it was murder it would be murder but upon investigation it was a little different. “A large quantity of stardust was discovered in Christopher Reed’s mansion.”</p>

<p>“Stardust? Stardust?”</p>

<p>“Yes that’s right. It is a magic power booster that is quite widespread in Korea.”</p>

<p>After hearing the unexpected story Suho’s eyes suddenly looked at Esil.</p>

<p>Originally stardust was a magic power booster developed by low-level demons in the process of imitating bloodstone the exclusive property of demon nobles.</p>

<p>Esil nodded with a stern expression.</p>

<p>“It seems like there are demons of our race in that country too.”</p>

<p>In a way it was natural.</p>

<p>At this very moment the demon world was still torn into several pieces and wandering through the gaps in the dimension.</p>

<p>And from a global perspective there was no way that the pieces of the demon world were connected to the dimensional rift only in Korea.</p>

<p>If this is the case there is a high probability that devil factories exist in the United States as well as throughout the world.</p>

<p>“It’s a demon factory… I also know quite a bit of information about Stardust. But there is actually a different reason why our boss killed him than the demons.”</p>

<p>“…?”</p>

<p>Laura turned on the next screen.</p>

<p>It’s just one photo.</p>

<p>The interior of Christopher Reed’s luxurious mansion which has now disappeared after being destroyed by Thomas Andre.</p>

<p>It was a photo taken by a brave reporter who snuck inside and risked his life.</p>

<p>“…The reporter said that Christopher Reed seemed to have been drawn into a strange cult at some point.”</p>

<p>“Pseudo-religion?”</p>

<p>Suho asked back with a puzzled expression.</p>

<p>“Yes. And the very next day the reporter suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth without anyone noticing it. We presume he is probably dead but we recently discovered a message left by the reporter.”</p>

<p>Click.</p>

<p>Laura turned the next page.</p>

<p>Immediately the words he left appeared on the screen.</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>[Outer God]</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>…!</p>

<p><br></p>

<p>At that moment everyone’s eyes including Suho’s widened.</p>

<p>“Foreign religion.”</p>

<p>Laura opened her mouth looking at those words with a heavy expression.</p>

<p>“It seems like they are calling their religion by that name.”</p>
