The Soul Fire, torn apart by the Immortal Longsword, emitted a light as bright as the sun before dissipating in an instant.

With the center of gravity that controlled her body and soul gone, her body began to crumble.

The bones that formed her body could no longer hold together, returning to ordinary bone fragments, and the robe she wore and the staff she held fell to the ground.

Shortly after, a System window appeared.

[You have defeated the S-Rank Boss Monster, King of Annihilation.]

[You have achieved the Slayer’s achievement. You have acquired the title, ‘Ghost Killer’.]

[You have acquired the item ‘Staff of Annihilation (A+)’.]

[You have acquired the item ‘Shroud of Concealment (S-)’.]

[You have acquired the item ‘Ghost Catcher (S)’.]

[You have acquired the item – Rib of the King of Annihilation.]

[You have acquired the item – Crown of the 100 Kings.]

“Amazing.”

As expected of an S-Rank, the rewards were incredible.

One A+ rank, one S- rank, and one S-Rank item!

Plus, two loot items from an S-Rank monster!

Ha-yeon, wiping the blood from the wound on her cheek with the back of her hand, told Jin Ha-jeong, who was behind her, to take the items that had appeared in front of them. He grumbled something, but snapped his fingers and stored the items in his subspace pocket.

“You take the staff.”

“I was going to. What would you do with the staff? You weren’t thinking of taking it, were you?”

“I was originally going to take it, but to be honest, all I’d do is sell it at auction.”

Ha-yeon, sprawled out on the floor, muttered and closed her eyes.

‘The day I’d catch an S-Rank…’

‘Honestly, it was dangerous.’

If they hadn’t finished it quickly and gone into a prolonged battle, they would have been the ones to fall.

The King of Annihilation was undead.

Therefore, as long as he had mana, his body would never tire, and this was the deepest part of the Dungeon.

He could absorb the ley lines, so he would never have tired.

The reason why they couldn’t use magic properly before, because the ley lines were twisted, must have been because the Lich King’s energy was mixed in.

Anyway, on the other hand, they had been fighting monsters since earlier.

If they went into a prolonged battle, they would be the ones to tire, so they desperately tried to end it quickly.

‘I’ve used up almost all my mana.’

About 20% left.

Had she ever used so much before?

No, come to think of it, wasn’t it only her second day as an S-Rank?

‘Wow….’

Thinking about it like that, it was quite a sight.

Joining the Association and catching an S-Rank boss only two days after becoming an S-Rank.

Really…

While pondering whether she should be happy or not about her situation, she began to distribute the remaining items.

“You take the Ghost Catcher too, I only need the Shroud of Concealment.”

To be honest, both were more necessary for Jin Ha-jeong, who was a mage.

What would she do with them other than put them up for auction?

So she was going to take the S- item, Shroud of Concealment, which she thought she could use.

Just looking at the name, it seemed to be an item related to stealth.

[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’ says that it is an item related to stealth.]

So it is.

“Okay, then give me the Rib of the King of Annihilation for a moment. I’ll make it into an artifact in a few days and give it back to you. In return, give me the Crown of the 100 Kings.”

“Huh? Really?”

“I keep forgetting, but you’re an S-Rank Hunter of the Association, so don’t talk so casually to me.”

Most of the items that monsters drop can be made into artifacts.

It goes without saying that the higher the grade of the item, the better the quality.

Also, there are artisan Hunters who specialize in making artifacts, and since Jin Ha-jeong is the Association President, he must have an exclusive artisan.

And a fairly high-ranking artisan at that.

And the other loot, the Crown of the 100 Kings, wasn’t really necessary for her right now.

Jin Ha-jeong, who said that jokingly, approached Ha-yeon and helped her up.

“We should go back now. If you keep lying here, your mouth will go crooked.”

“An S-Rank’s mouth going crooked, you have to say something that makes sense.”

She said that, but still got up.

To be honest, she wanted to go home and lie on her bed in comfortable clothes rather than stay here.

“Let’s get out of here first.”

She said, heading towards the gate that had appeared in front of her and exiting, and Jin Ha-jeong followed shortly after.

Beyond the gate was the B-Rank artifact shop in Shopping Center A, where they had entered.

They were back.

“How many hours were we in the gate?”

“Hmm…. About 5 hours?”

He looked at the watch on his wrist and said, and she paused for a moment at those words.

Then it must be at least 8 o’clock now.

“It’s 8:30 now.”

“No wonder I’m a little hungry… well, not hungry, but I want to eat something.”

She muttered, rotating her slightly stiff right shoulder.

“But why aren’t there any other Hunters?”

“I ordered them not to come.”

Why not?

Even if the S-Ranks cleared it, so there was no problem, it was an Irregular Gate.

An unknown gate with an unknown rank.

At least they should be on guard around it.

“Still, shouldn’t we at least be on guard?”

“It’s okay not to, and besides, there’s no one here already. And would you be okay if Hunters were on guard when you came out tired?”

Ah….

Just thinking about it was annoying.

“No…”

“Right? I’ve already sent a message to the Association that we cleared it, so let’s go to a restaurant.”

She was sure to be hit with a mountain of paperwork tomorrow.

Jin Ha-jeong, who swallowed his words, smiled bitterly, put his hands in his suit pockets, and began to leave the building.

Ha-yeon really wanted to go straight home, but because of her past nature, she couldn’t miss out on a free meal, so she decided to follow.

“And here.”

Then he handed her a recovery potion and a bandage, which he must have taken out of his subspace pocket at some point.

“?”

“Here.”

He tapped his cheek with his finger, and Ha-yeon, understanding, opened the potion and applied it to the wounded area.

“It’s a wound that would disappear without a scar by tomorrow even if I left it to heal naturally.”

“Still, it’s better for you to recover quickly, right?”

Her skin recovered in an instant as she applied the potion.

It was a potion that boosted natural healing power, so if she, who already had a tremendous level of natural healing power, used it, it would be almost like using a skill.

What they saw when they left Shopping Center A was.

“Oh! They cleared it!”

“Two S-Ranks, and it took them this long…?”

“Huh?”

A crowd of reporters.

She hadn’t thought of this.

Even if they didn’t call the Association’s Hunters, the fact that a gate had appeared here and two S-Ranks had entered it was bound to be known.

And the reporters who knew that had gathered like this.

What should she do?

“What do you mean, what should you do? Get in.”

She turned her head at his words and saw a supercar.

Ah, no, this is!

She was momentarily lost in the brilliance of the car, which she was seeing for the first time, but quickly regained her senses and got into the car.

‘So comfortable!’

She, who was in the passenger seat, felt the comfort of the seat and felt good, and shortly after, Jin Ha-jeong, who had pushed the reporters back a little, got into the driver’s seat.

“Ah, by the way, the name of the restaurant we’re going to is Raven.”

“…..?”

Raven?

The Raven she knew?

‘As expected of the Association President! I believed in you, damn it!’

Raven, the best restaurant in the country and famous all over the world.

Of course, she, who had no money, couldn’t even set foot in it, but the reason she was entering it for the first time was to get a free meal!

“I’m going to order something really expensive!”

“It doesn’t matter, even if you combine all the menus there, it won’t be even half the value of the artifact I bought this time and the items we got now.”

Come to think of it, that was true.

Even an A+ item costs hundreds of millions, not to mention an S- or even an S-Rank.

And not only that, but two loot items from an S-Rank monster!

Could food be more valuable than that?

But still, delicious food was delicious, so she decided to order a lot.

They arrived at the restaurant not long after.

Raven Restaurant was located in the outer area of the Association’s jurisdiction.

It was said that they built a very large castle there and opened a restaurant.

The price was relatively low because it was an outer area, but now it was almost the center of the Association’s jurisdiction.

People were jokingly calling this place Raven’s jurisdiction.

Anyway, the scale was amazing.

And as much as the scale was, it was incredibly magnificent.

A huge figure that really resembled a castle from the Middle Ages.

The walls surrounding the outside and the tall buildings inside were really amazing.

Of course, the interior was modern.

We entered the building and went up to the 3rd floor, which had the best view, and were able to secure the last seat.

There, we ordered the most famous menu, Egg Cow’s steak and Low Pig’s meat.

And we ordered a lot of other things.

It wouldn’t matter.

At first, she was a little shocked by the price, but when she thought that Jin Ha-jeong was paying, she naturally ordered expensive dishes.

Shortly after, the food came out, and after pouring wine into the wine glasses that came with it.

“Congratulations on joining the Association.”

“Congratulations!”

Something.

It felt like only good things would continue to happen in the future.
