Chapter 115 – Chapter 02: The Gold Half Is a Warrior, the Other Half Is XXX
‘It’s still the same now. Why are you removing the magic stone yourself instead of asking me, a slave, to do it? If you were the Strahl I know, you would never have done something like that, right?’
And even at this moment, Genos’s doubts about the person named Strahl were growing even more.
“Hmm… , Maybe it’s because it’s a boss enemy, but the size of the magic stone is okay even if you’re an entry level player. “This would cost hundreds of thousands of won.”
Jeol Yu-jin is taking out the magic stone from inside the boss Enemy, which had the shape of a bear as if he was familiar with it, and checking it.
If it was the Strahl that Genos knew, there was no way he could have slaughtered Enemy like that with his hands covered in blood.
Stral, who was a typical villain of the Orbital World, was a spirit of this world who hated even having water on his hands, let alone blood.
But the current Stral and Jeolyujin were different. He doesn’t even care about the blood on his hands and just checks the size of the magic stone he extracted.
He then casually keeps it in a pocket with a space expansion spell attached to his waist.
It is said that Genos, who had been fighting Boss Enemy just moments before, couldn’t help but think of his doubts at that sight.
‘… ‘Who the hell are you?’
The question of whether this man who became his master, whom he knew as Strahl Zenon, was really Strahl Zenon.
“Okay, good job. The magic stones and mana stones I acquired in this dungeon will later be exchanged for your salary… ? Well, I’ll tell you something similar. Yeon-mae says that the money earned by slaves naturally belongs to the master, but as someone from Earth, I am not familiar with the slavery system in the first place…”
In that sense, Eugene patted Genos on the shoulder and said that he would pay the minimum salary without Yeonhwa’s knowledge since he would feel like he had become the president of a black company if he worked for him without paying his salary properly.
“Wouldn’t you be a little more motivated that way? Is motivation important? Now, whether we like it or not, we are in a similar position as colleagues who must work together to prevent the destruction of the world. In that sense, I think it would be good to work harder and get to expert level quickly…”
And then, as expected, Eugene, who had been talking about her, showing his goodwill towards her by bringing up a story about her that Genos would never have brought up if he was Strahl, who knew Genos, soon sighed.
“… Sigh, what are you saying to a child with autism? … No, is this really autism in the first place? Isn’t autism a congenital factor and acquired mental breakdown a type of PTSD rather than autism? “Oh, I don’t know!”
Then, seeing Genos not showing any reaction to her words, Eugene mumbles to himself and heads to the reward room where the magic ore is located.
“Still, I’m glad I heard the order. With this, I can somehow develop it into a decisive battle weapon for the Great Demon Lord. … Still, we can’t leave it like this forever, so should we at least get psychiatric counseling? But was there ever a psychiatrist in this world in the first place?”
Should I rather aim for the hidden pieces in the spirit type? Eugene, who was moving forward while muttering to himself, reacted with a “Oops” And ordered Genos to follow him.
In response, Genos faithfully follows the command as a slave, but at a moment that Eugene cannot understand, he looks at his back with a questioning look and thinks.
‘What on earth is going on…? … ?’
It is said that she once again began to resent the three great gods, the God of Creation, the God of Heavenly Punishment, and the God of Pity, wondering what they wanted from her and putting her in this incomprehensible situation.

Bang! Quang! Quagga River!!
“Sigh… !”
An hour after Genos conquered the beginner-level dungeon in Laina Forest under Eugene’s orders, the two were now inside the superhuman-level dungeon.
After conquering the dungeon and resting for about 30 minutes, the two started moving right away.
Eugene soon discovered the entrance to the dungeon, which he knew through his knowledge of the original work, and entered the dungeon without delay.
“Haaah… !”
And the battle began. The type of access to the dungeon was closed, and the type of space was, as expected, a subspace type dungeon.
The dungeon itself is a maze type dungeon with underground tunnels that look like ant tunnels and are intricately twisted like a maze. The goal is to find your way and reach the deepest part of the dungeon.
In a way, it could be said to be a typical dungeon, and from the moment Eugene entered the dungeon, he was in a desperate struggle with the enemies and slimes inside the dungeon.
Quang!
Eugene hits the slime flying from the front with a cannon blade and a roar.
And as soon as you hit and pull the trigger on the handle, the unirut explodes from the sword body.
Due to the glass rupture, the liquid surrounding the slime’s core instantly exploded like a water bomb.
“Bout… !”
And as a result, the slime’s core, which was protected at the center of the liquid, was exposed, and Eugene pulled the trigger once again, cutting out the slime’s core with the cannon blade.
Kwasik! Quagwang!
Then, at the moment when the slime’s core was cut off by the cannon blade, an explosion erupted from the sword body once again.
As a result, the slime’s core not only split in two, but was blown into pieces by the explosion, rendering the slime completely silent.
“Pfft!”
The moment Eugene finishes off one slime in an instant, another slime attacks him from behind, spreading the liquid that makes up its body.
“Where!”
Eugene, who had already sensed this through the unirut radar, immediately turned his body half a turn and swung the cannon blade into the air, and at the same time pulled the trigger of the cannon blade once again.
Quagwagwang!
As a result, the explosion of Unirut that follows the trajectory of the cannon blade bounces off the oncoming slime, and Eugene aims the tip of his sword at the slime that bounces away.
Click! Bang!
With the tip of his sword aimed like that, he pulls the trigger once again, and through his will, the bullet in the cylinder is fired and the exploded unirut is adjusted.
The massive amount of unirut condensed at the tip of the sword as it ran through it in an instant turned into a single cannonball and was ejected towards the slime that bounced off…
Quagga River!!
… It is said that it hit the slime accurately without any error, and exploded the slime in the air with an explosion caused by the Unirat.
“… 5 of these. Among them, only two were able to retrieve the magic stone.”
Click! Widely! Drurrrr! Widely!
After finishing off the last remaining slime, Eugene used familiar hand movements to push the cylinder of the cannon blade to the side and separate it.
Then, by giving a short snap to the cannon blade, the shell casing contained inside the cylinder is ejected.
In the space where the shell casings were ejected, a speed loader appeared with bullets loaded in the air, and the bullets were skillfully loaded in less than a second.
Using minimal hand movements, the cylinder is rotated to separate the bullets from the speed loader, and then the rotating cylinder is loaded into the cannon blade with a snap of the wrist.
The series of actions is completed in just one second, and Eugene, who has finished reloading the cannon blade, soon turns his attention to Genos, who is fighting on one side.
‘Hmm… , I guess Mungokseong is not Mungokseong for nothing. Even if there is a synergy effect from dungeons, growth is fast.’
Eugene, who has been conditioned to be able to deal with 1 slime while he himself can deal with 5 slimes.
Therefore, Genos was currently engaged in a life-and-death struggle with a slime of the same level as himself, a top entry level slime.
Even though it was a superhuman level dungeon, the number of Enemies who reached superhuman level was not that large.
At best, the mid-boss level’s enemies will be at a superhuman level to intermediate level, and the boss level will be at a superhuman intermediate to advanced level.
In other words, the other minor Enemies are at the beginner level to the highest level.
Instead, as it was a superhuman level dungeon, there were quite a few of them, but if you had Eugene’s level of experience, it wasn’t that difficult to adjust the battlefield so that Genos could deal with just one of them.
‘But while the perfection of martial arts is growing rapidly, there are no signs of its level rising.’
Therefore, Eugene, who encouraged Genos’s growth and allowed her to deal with Enemies that matched her skills alone, had no choice but to watch her battle and feel sorry for her.
This was something I felt when I conquered an entry-level dungeon alone, but it was because, despite her rapid growth rate, there was no sign of her reaching Young Expert.
‘Well, it can’t be helped. No matter how talented you are, you won’t be able to move forward without thinking.’
Right now, that person is autistic… , To be more precise, Eugene feels that it is difficult to grow his level as an opponent since he is exerting influence due to PTSD, which is close to autism.
In the first place, raising one’s level through special abilities could be said to be an ordeal that would perfect one’s self, unless one was an apostle.
However, since the person who has to perfect it is so broken, it is only natural that although the level of perfection in martial arts may improve through that talent, there is no sign of the level rising.
‘Well, talent is talent, so if I give you some purified magic stones and put you through a real battle like today in a dungeon, you will reach expert level in a short time.’
However, no matter how much you suffer from mental demons, there is no way to force yourself to raise your level.
Should I say that he is almost like an apostle? If you build up enough essence to overflow inside your body, you will eventually be able to reach the level of expert where you can emit aura without even knowing it due to the overflowing essence.
‘Of course, if you try to raise your status in that way, it will act as a poison in the future…’
Still, in order to use Genos, a former warrior, quickly, there was a need to raise his level to that extent.
‘If possible, it’s best to cure that mental illness as quickly as possible…’
To be honest, Eugene had no idea what to do since that was not his area of expertise.
Among the hidden pieces that he knows, there is one that is helpful in mending his mind…
‘That too is something that has its own risks. And there’s no good way to get it right away.’
In that sense, he thought it was an opportunity, so he purchased Genos as a slave, but Eugene was still scratching his head in confusion because he couldn’t figure out what to do.
Sweep!
When Eugene was watching Genos’ battle with such concerns, she was running in all directions at a high speed and the slime that was disturbing Genos was destroyed by having its core cut off by her sword.
This was a passage that showed that her swordsmanship was rapidly improving in that she not only read the movements of the slime accurately, but also read and cut the movements of the freely moving core within her body.
Well, since she became Eugene’s slave, she has been training more rigorously than when she was a warrior, and since she is even experiencing real combat, it is strange that her sword skills are not improving.
“…”
As the battle ended with her chopping down her last remaining slime, Genos looked down with unfocused eyes at the rolling slime’s corpse, with only the two-parted core remaining.
