The Shadow Monarch Izuku Midoriya

Ch 17: Lizards Part 4

"Talk"

'Thought'

[System]

Izuku thought to himself, 'Oh, I can now use my gold!' It was a good news. But there was no time to dilly dally and use the shop here.

The cave began to shake and he saw a message...

[Because the Dungeon's boss has been defeated, the Gate will be destroyed in 1 hour.]

[Remaining time: 59 min 58 sec]

Izuku was about to leave before the gate closed and would have time to look at the shop...

Izuku looked at the spider's head and saw a shining light from it. But compared to a monster's drop, there was no item message, and he could not automatically obtain whatever it was.

Briefly thinking about it, Izuku quickly realized, 'Ah, right. Magic cores.'

No matter how hurried he was, he couldn't forget those. He went to the spider's head and ripped out the magic core. Coming from the boss of a C-rank Dungeon, it was worth about 10 million won. It was not a bad reward for the troublesome fight.

Izuku leaped down from the spider's head. After a light landing, he took a glance backwards and noticed another source of light from the spider's abdomen. And multiple of them, too!

Izuku became suspicious. He had heard of magic beasts with extra magic cores, but this was too many, 'What could it be?'

Cutting open the spider's body, he found his answer. The corpses of many half-eaten bug magic beasts fell out of the stomach. The light was coming from each of the bugs he obtained 10 more magic cores and Izuku said, "Awesome!"

He came here for rent money. He would walk away with a mortgage.

Turning around, he saw Yoo Jin and he said,, "Please, you can put them here."

Yoo Jin took the magic cores and placed them in his own pack with great care. Then, he took out a thermos and poured something out in its cap, "Hey. You're thirsty, right? Here's some water."

The water was cold enough to collect condensation on the cup and Izuku thought, 'Why is he doing all this?'

Izuku drank the water and he asked how the water is and Izuku said, "Good, thanks! So what you just saw here-"

Yoo interrupted before Izuku could finish his sentence, almost as if to tell him not to worry, "Of course! I'll carry this secret with me to the grave."

Izuku thought, 'This kid is acting weird now... Then again I did save his life.'

Izuku walked toward the entrance that was now blocked and suddenly he saw the rocks blow apart. Hwang and his lackeys entered the boss room and saw the dead spider behind Izuku and were shocked and someone said, "Is it dead...? Those two took it out!"

Someone asked, "Hwang what do we do now?"

Hwang shouted at Yoo and Yoo flinched and his Hwang smirked, "Your equipment really caught our eye, so we did a little investigation. Your daddy turned out to be someone crazy! Yoo Construction's chairman, Yoo Myunghan."

Yoo said, "So- so what?"

Hwang said, "Well, we're giving you a chance. We have some things we want to talk over with your daddy. But if what happened here got out, our situation would become a little uncomfortable. So if you want to live, become our accomplice."
