To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 18: West Station

Floor 1 / Giant Leaf Woods / Safe Route to West Station

Ars doing a morning jog on his way to the West Station. Apart from increasing his stamina, it is also to strengthen his legs so he wouldn't feel pain like yesterday.

"Even the pain is still there, that damn rock!"

Another goal of running that morning is Ars wanted to get used to using Fafnir's Eyes. [Spacious Mode] and [Sharp Mode]. Ars wants to get used to using these two modes during the trip.

So he doesn't have difficulty in fighting later. If possible, he would face an area boss like yesterday.

After looking at the [VIP Player] menu last night. Ars found [Eyes of the Dragon] to have five basic functions:

[Warning Provider: Gives the user a warning about looming danger]

[Sharp Mode: Mode that allows the user to narrow the view and focus to see a greater distance]

[Spacious Mode: Mode that allows the user to expand the visibility]

[Thermal Mode: Mode that switches the user's vision to infrared vision]

[Menacing Gaze: Makes [Eyes of the Dragon] emit red light and imparts a [Trembling] debuff effect indirectly to a target]

Ars already understands the functions number 1 to 4. But he is not sure about the fifth function.

"Can it have a [Trembling] effect like yesterday's Killer Bee could just by looking at a target?"

If so, Ars wants to try it right away.

"Groar!"

What a coincidence. A pack of Bear Beasts came directly to him.

"Okay, let's try it. [Menacing Gaze]!"

One group of Bear Beasts stopped. "Gro ~ Gro ~ Gro ~". Like frightened dogs, they turned and fled.

"Wow! Tf is that?! So cool!"

Ars doesn't know exactly what he did just now. But if [Menacing Gaze] can repel monsters easily, "My life will become easier in this forest!"

During the journey, Ars kept changing second to fifth modes of [Eyes of the Dragon]. With [Sharp Mode] he could see 1km less. With [Spacious Mode] he could see 3x wider. With [Thermal Mode] he could see whatever life is in front of his sight. With [Menacing Mode] he drove all the monsters around without even realizing it.

"Ugh, yuck! Want to puke!"

Changing modes makes Ars dizzy. Of course, as each mode changes, it commands Ars brain to process a different kind of vision. It was an oddity that made Ars dizzy.

To his surprise again, [Eyes of the Dragon] is the same as [Unlimited Inventory].

[Eyes of the Dragon Level 02: 10/20 Trophy]

Ars can level up the cheat to a higher level. Plus, Ars only needs to earn a Trophy to raise the cheat level.

"But for now, I don't want to hunt just yet."

The battle with Killer Bee drained all of Ars' motivation to fight.

"For now, go to the station first, and get rich!"

If add up all the drop items Ars has in [Unlimited Inventory], he will have 110k Cash in the form of items. All of those drop items only came from one type of monster, Bear Beast. There is still one more type of monster, namely the Giant Bull Hornet with the boss area type, Queen Bull Hornet.

Ars was also told by Yin that there is an Area Boss named Father Tree. Father Tree is an Area Boss that cannot move. But it is quite difficult to find the location of Father Tree.

If Ars continues his hunt alone, gets the Bad Omen, meets one of the Area Bosses and finishes them alone, "I'll be a millionaire, muahahaha!"

[Warning!]

Suddenly [Warning Provider] warned Ars.

Ars moving outside the safe line. About 1km ahead, with [Sharp Mode], Ars had a view of a towering wall.

"Have I arrived?"

Floor 1 / Giant Leaf Woods / West Station

A solid 20 meter high wall towered above. Protect the civilization inside. Like at the East Station.

"With the strength and leadership of Lucas the Bear Beast Hunter! We will defeat that Killer Bee!"

The voice came from in front of the gate.

At the front gate, there is a legion of Hunters - comprising 24 men - who wanted to go hunting for Killer Bee.

"Oooooooo!"

Everyone screamed because a Gold Hunter was with them.

Ars watched the legion of Hunters from behind a tree.

In front of the Hunter Legion, stood a Hunter with highly equipped armor.

"Bear Beast Hunter, eh?"

Ars felt attracted to the Gold Hunter. Using [Value Scanner], Ars scanned the Gold Hunter - named Lucas - hunting equipment.

[Bear Leather Armor = 1450 ABC]

[Bear Leather Bracers = 980 ABC]

[Black Wood Leather Greaves = 1190 ABC]

"He's wearing that Cloak."

Ars focuses on the SR rarity cloak Lucas is wearing.

[King Bear Skin Cloak = 38,000 ABC]

"But the price is not the same as what I got. That means the quality has decreased because of its use. "

The price of an item will decrease because the quality of the item has decreased. You need not learn about the market if you want to understand that.

"Hoo." Ars glanced at the sword strapped to Lucas's waist. "He's also using that sword."

[Bear Beast Blade = 5,790]

The price of the sword also decreased. "I wonder how often he used that sword until he reduced the price to half." From 9,999 to 5,000 that meant half reduced the quality of the sword. If the duration of the endurance is one year, that means the user has already used the sword for half a year.

Lucas raised his hand. With an authoritative tone, he spoke:

"I know we only have one or two chances to find the area boss, that Killer Bee. But I have a very important message for those of you who have never faced an area boss. First, don't be careless. Area bosses have great destructive power. Take one hit and you're over."

Ars nodded at the explanation. If [Eyes of the Dragon] didn't have the function of [Warning Provider], then Ars' life would definitely be in danger in the battle yesterday.

"Second, maybe one or two of you will die in this battle. When that happens, don't think about anything other than continuing the fight. Don't lose focus if the battle isn't over yet."

There was a sharp tone in Lucas's second message. The atmosphere around became heavy and everyone fell silent.

Ars already feels the horror of losing his party mates. Even though he's very strong now. The memory where Bryan and four colleagues slaughtered in front of his eyes, he could not forget that horror at all.

"Then last. If you want to get rich, this is the moment!"

Instantly, everyone got excited again.

"If you want to earn a lot of money, don't die and win this battle together!"

"Oooooooo!"

One legion of the Party Raid set out to hunt down Killer Bee in high spirits.

"Pffftt." Behind a certain tree, there is a young man who's trying to hold back laughter. When everyone earlier had moved away, "Buhahahaahaha!", The young man laughed out loud.

One legion of the party just now had quite a sad and proud moment.

"Ouch! My stomach!"

But all were in vain because their prey, Killer Bee, had been killed by that young man.

"I hope their disappointment does not lead them to find me."

The presence of the solo killer Killer Bee that appeared yesterday.

Ars, alone, a Hunter unknown to anyone, Bronze Porter job, taking down the boss of the area alone. Sounds unbelievable.

But if his existence is connecting with the Hunter Legend, who is being sought like Arlene. "They must be trying to find me."

Instantly Ars remembered an old man who had a large scar on his face, who lived in the depths of the forest.

"Aaghh, I forgot to tell that old man to be quiet about my presence! Damn it! Should I just go back to that old man's place?"

An hour after Lucas and his party arrived at the Sites of Memorial of Giant Leaf Woods.

"That giant bear already dead."

"What?"

Lucas was just about to confirm whether the veteran Hunter who lived in the depths of the forest knew of Killer Bee. But he got that answer instead.

"D - don't joke around, Mr Jeff. Or, what, you took out that area boss by yourself? If so, we ..."

"Yesterday afternoon there was a stupid boy who fell from above and hit his leg against the World Stone."

"What are you saying, Mr. Jeff?"

"Look at this."

Jeff stabbed a Bear Beast Blade into the ground.

"But, Mr Jeff, isn't that your sword?" asked Lucas.

Then Jeff stabbed another Bear Beast Blade into the ground.

"This one's my sword." Jeff pointed at the Bear Beast Blade, which quite heavily injured. "And this is the sword that boy left behind after staying one night at my house."

Lucas and all the Hunters present looked at the two Bear Beast Blade in front of Jeff.

"He right."

"That one looks like it has been used for a long time, and the other looks like it just fell dropped yesterday."

Among all the Hunters who saw that, Lucas is the one who didn't want to believe the truth the most.

"Old man, are you serious?"

"You can check out my house if you don't believe it. Why did I even kill that giant bear alone? I don't have that many hands to lift all the Drop Items."

Jeff took two of his swords and went back into the house. Leaving the door open for anyone who wants to enter.

Suddenly, Lucas knelt in resignation.

"Lucas?"

"100k ..."

"What?"

"My 100k! Who is the bastard who dared to take all my money?!"

Jeff remembered something from inside. "Oh yeah, I forgot to ask his name."

"Damn it!" Lucas shouted, not accepting the fate that befell him.

Of all the Hunters who took part in the party, only a beautiful red-haired man could have a calm expression.

"Ars."
