Quest Given When Possessed 398

Chapter 398 – Assassination Family Raven 4 (19)

I left the adventurer’s guild with Sagrun, an A-class adventurer from Garet Village.

Once you become an A-level adventurer, it seems that the receptionist will take care of your mission requests.

Even if it was a verbal contract, it was a contract between an A-class adventurer and an assassin from the Raven family.

“It’s a shame it’s not half-and-half. Isn’t your contribution always the highest?”

Sagrun left the Adventurer’s Guild and said something to me about how he didn’t like the way the rewards were divided.

I thought I looked younger because of my appearance, but then I thought I was a young person with a younger mindset.

“I didn’t even need a guide in the first place. The guild master just assigned someone to watch over me.”

“Do you think we’re sending an A-class person along for surveillance? That’s not true. It’s because the Harpies are dangerous right now.”

“Is that so? I’m not sure since I only saw the territory devastated.”

“For a guild master, the performance of the branch he is in charge of is important, but the most important thing is to prevent the adventurers in the guild from being killed. I appointed an A-class adventurer who can take care of himself no matter what happens.”

Are you saying that since they are valuable troops to the adventurer guild, they will be used sparingly and where appropriate?

Even so, if it weren’t for Sagrun, he would have continued to fight in the guild building for another day.

Or maybe it was because he thought Sagrun would move with me.

With such miscellaneous thoughts in mind, I crossed the barrier of Garet territory with Sagrun.

I thought I could smell a slight odor near the entrance, but the other side of the wall was full of corpses.

There were quite a few corpses with their heads, which were the heavy part of the body, crushed, as if they had been dropped from a high place.

There were people and light monsters like goblins, and I thought I knew what caused the hole in the roof of the building in Garret’s territory.

“Heavy things like stones were used, but they also brought monsters like that and dropped them. Ordinary people and adventurers who were caught wandering around outside were also used as weapons.”

Sagrun spoke to me in a voice full of anger.

Since I experienced something like that, the Adventurer’s Guild must have made it a mission worth a lot of money, 30 gold.

“If there were adventurers, it seems like there were acquaintances as well.”

“Yes, I have seen many juniors grow up to be A-level adventurers. How could I not be angry when I saw them die helplessly?”

Sagrun, who hid his emotions to the extreme with his smiling face, felt that in some ways he was not much different from the assassin.

Hiding his emotions perfectly was one of the basic elements an assassin must have.

“Then go find the harpy. I need your anger and your experience.”

“I think the percentage of compensation I will receive has gone up a bit?”

“I have no intention of taking money for a funeral.”

“I’ll do my best to guide you, so you can receive more.”

I followed Sagrun’s guidance and continued walking along the path toward the Ernian Mountains.

The Ernian Mountains, which are so close that they can be said to be the mountains directly behind Garret’s territory, were lush with trees at the bottom, but became bald mountains toward the top.

It was a bit hard to believe that there was a swarm of harpies in a bare mountain that seemed to have few places to hide, so I used presence detection-wave.

As the heat-reading wave spread around me, I began to read the creatures in the Ernian Mountains that passed through Sagrun next to me.

And the waves spreading over the mountain range told me that there were many living things nearby.

‘Looking at the numbers, I think it would be difficult to finish in one day unless everyone comes in.’

I continued to follow Sagrun, thinking that it would be enough to cause a big explosion.

“Originally, when you come here, you are bound to encounter animals and monsters, but before the harpy swarm invaded Garret Territory, the population was drastically reduced.”

“I guess there was an omen?”

“Now that I think about it, it may be true that it was a foreshadowing phenomenon. However, the adventurers in Garret Territory did not think that it was a foreshadowing phenomenon of a swarm of harpies. Harpies have been living in the Ernian Mountains from the beginning, but their numbers have never increased this much.”

“How long ago has that omen phenomenon been around?”

“About 3 months? It was about 3 months ago that the guild’s subjugation missions related to the Ernian Mountains decreased.”

“Can the newly born harpy become an adult?”

“Monsters grow quickly, so wouldn’t that be possible? I don’t know much about harpies either. They must have developed a mutation.”

I am not a scholar, so I only know how to kill monsters, but I don’t know much about their ecology.

You may memorize the monster’s vital points, but you do not remember how many days it takes for each species to become an adult.

I know that monsters grow very quickly compared to humans, but I don’t think a harpy that has grown up to 3 months old is ready for combat.

‘Shall we go back to the Global Academy and find out?’

Since I had already completed the 5 days for Bing’s return, I thought it would be okay to go for a while and then come back.

I decided to go back briefly on the way up the Ernian Mountains with Sagrun.

*

“I think this is your first time doing something like this?”

Usually, I come back after I’ve progressed to a certain degree and think I’ve grown, but this is the first time I’ve come back just to briefly gather information.

I got out of bed and turned on the computer.

If you just want to search for information, using a smartphone is sufficient, but I’m thinking of doing a little tweaking to the magic circle for remembering.

‘It’s right to leave only male contraception and add sleep as before. I think it’s right to erase the 30-day female contraception magic circle in the Gwen shrine.’

Male contraception, sleep, healing, silence, soundproofing, and water creation became six. By changing the brown dye to orange, it became seven.

And it seemed like it would be a good idea to fill in the remaining two positions by checking information about the harpy.

“Harpy.”

A general term for a flying monster with the upper body of a human woman. Basically, it had wings and two legs with sharp claws that could firmly grasp even a resistant animal without losing it.

Up to this point, all harpies are the same; most of them have wings instead of arms, but there are some with both wings and arms, some with their entire bodies covered in feathers, and some with their chests completely exposed.

It would be correct to think of it as the mutation Sagrun was talking about.

And the most important growth period was identified.

In this world, monsters are encountered in dungeons, so most of them are fully grown, but there was a scholar who conducted various experiments for a long time in the dungeon.

‘If there is enough food for a harpy to become an adult, one year is enough.’

I thought it was too early for the omen that Sagrun mentioned to have occurred three months ago.

I tried to find an exception, but even though mutations related to shape were written down, I couldn’t find mutations that shortened growth time.

‘I guess it would be better to think of where you emigrated from?’

I looked into its weaknesses, and the Harpy wasn’t a very difficult opponent, except for the fact that it could fly.

Since it did not have excellent defense, it was an enemy that could be defeated with only modern firearms sold at Global Academy.

‘I think it would be a good idea to put a preservation magic circle in the empty magic circle.’

It seemed like it would be better to have a way to store the monster’s body.

And since I may have to take a large number, I also remembered the magic circle of light weight.

After confirming that an average harpy grows in just one year and completing the maintenance of the magic circle, I became possessed by Cyan Raven again.

As I climbed a little further up the Sagrun and Ernian Mountains, I felt a little alive.

When I turned my head towards the direction of the killing, I was able to find a harpy in the sky, flapping its wings and observing me and Sagrun.

‘It is an entity with wings instead of arms and its chest exposed.’

“Hey, it’s a harpy. Did you find it?”

As expected of an A-level adventurer, Sagrun quietly spoke to me when he got a little closer to the harpy.

“Yes, I found it a little while ago. There is one flying. I think I can catch it if I get a little closer.”

“Now that I think about it, I guess I didn’t ask how they would fight the harpy.”

“I’ll show you when we get a little closer.”

As we were climbing the Ernian Mountains, constantly remembering that the Harpy was watching us, the Harpy flapped its wings and flew towards the upper Ernian Mountains.

“It’s gone.”

“Yeah. It would be nice if a lot of people came here.”

“Could it be that you are overly confident? I’m starting to worry now.”

As I walked a little further with Sagrun, who was worried about my confidence, a bunch of harpies came flying, just as I had hoped.

At first glance, close to twenty harpies with brown feathers, not much different from the color of Bald Mountain, flew in.

When I heard about the attack on the roof of the building by dropping objects at Garret Estate, I thought he had something on his legs, but they were empty.

“The number brought here to deal with the two of us is too many?”

Sagrun spoke to me as he hid behind a large tree that was large enough to hide himself.

“It would be easier to think about reducing the number a little. That’s not everything, is it?”

“Yes, there were over a hundred harpies that attacked Garrett’s territory.”

Holding the shadow sword in both hands, he waited for a moment until the harpy came to an appropriate distance.

The harpies that flew in with their wings folded their wings and attempted to dive towards me.

“Keeeeek!!!”

He made a high-pitched sound that seemed to tear his eardrums and threw a barrage of shadows at the flying harpy.

Shoo! Shoo!

As soon as the shadow blade that flew through the air penetrated the lead harpy, I immediately created the next shadow and threw it.

The four harpies were unable to overcome gravity and fell to the floor.

“Crazy. I should never do something that would make someone angry.”

As I listened to Sagrun speak softly, I held the secret sword of shadow in both hands to deal with the next harpy.
