I Obtained a Mythic Item

Chapter 162

Episode 162 Outdoor Camp (5)

A corner in a closed city field.

This place is inhabited by innumerable types of demons entangled together. It was the same place as the Galápagos Islands in the monster world.

A place rarely visited by people.

However, for some reason, a small presence was felt in the quiet field here.

A man is standing in the middle of the outskirts that should have been empty.

Jaehyun Min He was the antagonist of the prophecy that Asgard had occupied.

“Then let’s move slowly.”

Jaehyun looked around and became familiar with the ecology and topography of the monsters.

‘If you don’t take a good look at the surrounding scenery in advance, you may encounter difficulties in battle later.

It’s right to investigate the surroundings when you have as much free time as possible so that you can use it in battle when the situation arises.’

Jaehyun walked away, giving off the scent of a veteran raider.

The magic detection was left on, of course.

“As Soyul-senpai said, there seem to be three types of monsters living nearby.

After all, the unique skill is a scam. How can you grasp field information so quickly without mapping?”

Originally, it would have taken almost two days just for mapping and examining the beast ecology.

In hindsight, Jaehyun and his colleagues skipped at least two days and moved on to the next stage.

Jaehyun was impressed, recalling that Kwon Soyul’s ability was suitable for team play.

“By the way... He must be the best for food, right?”

After mumbling a little, he nodded his head.

Jaehyun lowered his eyes and started walking around. It was as if he was looking for something, carefully examining the ground.

After a while. Jaehyun’s gaze, which had been scanning the floor, stayed in one place.

The corners of his mouth rose and a smile spread across his face.

“I found it sooner than I thought.”

His gaze was directed to the area where the traces of depressions were left.

The color is damp due to the humidity, and the color is slightly darker than nearby. There were also traces of something huge hanging around.

“Traces of the ground being overturned. The wet soil... plus the venom that flowed around. Undoubtedly. This is the guy I was looking for.”

I knew the location. Now all you have to do is summon the monster.

Jaehyun put strength on his legs for a while and then lightly poured mana into them.

Tsutsut......!

―Active skill 《Mana Weapon》.

Blue magic permeated his body.

Then, after concentrating all of his mana on his legs, Jaehyun stomped his feet vigorously.

thud!

Deed deed......!

At the same time, an unknown grotesque noise was heard from the floor.

Jaehyun smiled.

Let him continue to stomp and shake the ground without stopping.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...!

Blasphemy!

A scream erupted and the ground began to crack.

“come.”

Jaehyun took out the mana blade he had made before he knew it and held it in his hand.

In terms of cutting power, it would be better to use Nidhogg’s fangs, but I’m just here to get food ingredients.

If you put too much effort here, you’ll end up eating all the edible parts.

“Would you like to loosen up?”

Jaehyun kicked the floor with his sword in his right hand and lightly stepped back.

Koo Goo Goo!

A gigantic body that rose with him and a monster in the shape of a snake.

A worm appeared.

* * *

Worm.

Intermediate monsters resembling snakes and earthworms that live underground.

If you remove the outer skin, remove the blood, and cook it well, it will be a great food ingredient.

‘Good. Worm’s meat will be quite helpful to the other kids.’

Jaehyun nodded.

Worm meat has the effect of resisting poisoning when consumed, so it is suitable food for survival in the field.

Especially at a time like now when it is difficult to find potions, it was the special effect attached to food that shined.

‘Because in Daegu, there are a lot of monsters that are especially poisoned.

I’ll be fine thanks to Hel’s protection, but I’ll be helpful to the other kids.’

After Jaehyun finished his thoughts, he blew magic into the hand holding the dagger.

Aaaah...!

The worm that rose up with a wild cry looked at Jaehyun and his eyes flashed.

The eyes of the red witch.

It looked exactly the same as the picture I saw at the museum in the site in the past.

‘Dozens or hundreds of people who met those eyes died.’

‘......That’s right.’

Jaehyun quickly nodded.

“...I don’t know about anything else, but I’m going to take Hoyeon’s side with this one. definitely say You are not a real cook.”

“What are you saying?”

Kim Yoo-jung sighed in an annoyed voice and crossed her arms.

“it’s okay. don’t make it for you And Soyul unni decided to eat it anyway!”

“......uh?”

Kwon So-yul’s eyes shook.

I wanted to say ‘I never said that’, but I had to swallow it. It was because Kim Yoo-jung was looking at her with bright eyes.

Kwon So-yul let out a small sigh and thought.

‘no way. I’d say it’s just a little tasteless. Do I really have to die?’

* * *

‘Wuwehehehe!’

It tasted terrible indeed.

Kwon So-yul shook her head, recalling the dish she had just eaten.

‘Yoo-jung’s cooking...... was really amazing. On the bad side.’

Kim Yoo-jung received some of the ingredients for the worms that Jae-hyun had been hunting a while ago and cooked them separately for herself.

......No, was that a process that could be called cooking?

It was made by putting it in a large pot without removing the outer skin properly and pouring spices that did not suit it... It boasted an indescribable taste.

How can you make such a terrible dish with just fine ingredients?

While Kwon So-yul felt unjust, the rest of the party ate the dishes Seo In-na made. Only smiles fill the mouths of those who eat food with joyful faces as if they have become one.

Kwon So-yul, who was watching this, had no choice but to clenched his fists in resentment.

Why only me... Why did you give this to me only! why!

But I couldn’t show off.

How does it taste with twinkling eyes? I can’t openly say hurtful things to Kim Yoo-jung’s face.

In the first place, Kwon So-yul was the type who was not good at saying unpleasant things to others.

at last.

“I think that’s fine...”

she said. Thinking that is the best way not to hurt each other.

But... Kim Yoo-jung’s reaction was somehow strange.

“Isn’t that right?! Because I knew it!”

In response to Kwon So-yul’s ceremonial answer, Kim Yoo-jung immediately shouted with a triumphant face.

“hey! Did you hear?! My sister said my cooking is delicious! After all, you don’t know the taste.”

“Oh no, it’s delicious...”

But Kim Yoo-jung didn’t listen.

In the end, Kwon So-yul gave up first.

‘Anyway, this is Yoo-jung’s last dish.......’

Then Kim Yoo-jung broke her thoughts and said.

“I’ll make it again for you next time! To expect!”

‘......what?’

Kwon So-yul’s expression hardened coldly. Jaehyun laughed.

So you should have listened to us.

What kind of expression was that.

* * *

Like that. At the end of a peaceful(?) meal.

Jaehyun had no choice but to deliver one bad news to the group who were exhausted from the hard schedule.

“Everyone wake up. It seems like we have to move right now.”

“......What do you mean by that?”

Kim Yoo-jung was the first to answer. Tired, dissatisfied expression.

However, at Jaehyun’s continued words, she and everyone in the party had no choice but to agree.

“I can feel the magic of monsters on the roof of this building.”

The expressions on the faces of all the comrades hardened.

What do you mean?

It was the time when Seo Ina was trying to ask Jaehyun something back.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A young woman’s scream suddenly reached the ears of the party.

Everyone’s eyebrows are distorted at the same time, and the attention is focused on Jaehyun.

‘also.’

Jaehyun raised the corners of his mouth and lightly raised his mana.

‘Why is there no one in the relatively intact building? Come to think of it, it was strange from the beginning.’

Jaehyun looked up and looked at his teammates.

He slowly opened his mouth.

“A harpy lives on the roof of this building. If you don’t take care of him, you’ll die while you’re sleeping without even noticing mice and birds. So get up quickly.”

Kwon So-yul’s expression, which was otherwise hard, hardened even more at his words.

She sighed in an annoyed voice.

“I did the research, but why are you condescending?”

Jaehyun smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
