"Talk"

'Thought'

[System]

The experience points and soul counts increased appropriately with the fallen demons. On top of that were the drops. A smile bloomed on the face of the Hunter collecting items, 'Looks like the horns are a guaranteed drop.'

[Low-level Demon's Horn]

[Rarity: None]

Type: Junk

A horn from the low-level demon's head. As a valuable magic reagent, a demon's horn sells for quite an amount.

The junk item, Demon's Horn. Selling it at the shop earned him 200,000 gold, 'Even Cerberus' teeth sold for 150,000 each... The monsters of the Demon Castle sure are generous.'

Having tasted the value of the shop recently, the junk items were no longer just "junk" to Izuku. They were valuable gold would become his flesh and blood, 'There's really nothing to throw away.'

Izuku happily sold what needed to be sold and stored whatever he didn't. While he was going through the corpses, he discovered something.

He found an item he had not seen before.

[Entry Permit]

Rarity: ???

Type: ???

It's a permit to enter the 2nd Floor.

Usable in the inter floor movement magic circle on the 1st Floor.

It was a document rolled up like a scroll, 'Entry Permit?'

Unfurling the scroll, Izuku found a bunch of letters and shapes he could not interpret. The only information he could find was in the item's information box, 'An item that lets me go from the first floor to the second...'

Could it be? Izuku looked around the area. While this was the interiors of the Demon Castle, in a way, its base was where the light was coming from. If the Demon Castle was divided up into floors, then this would be the 1st Floor, 'It never even occurred to me that a field-type Dungeon could have multiple floors...'

Only one way to find out. He had to find that magic circle, 'Only place that the inter floor movement magic circle could be is...'

Izuku looked over to the pillar of light that reached to the sky.

Well, it was his goal from the start, but he was distracted by hunting the low-level demons and ended up in the opposite direction, 'Guess I'll head over there now.'

He had hunted all the low-level demons in the area anyways. Izuku smiled, 'Come forth.'

The Shadow Soldiers stored by Shadow Storage did not need any particular command to be summoned. All he had to do was call on them with intent.

The Shadow Beast spawned from the alpha ice bear stood before Izuku.

The monstrous bear stood on its hind legs. It towered over a house. However, in front of Izuku, it was no different than a trained puppy, "Down."

The Shadow Beast obediently lowered its body, and Izuku got on its back.

Izuku kicked the side of the beast, and his ride shot forward towards the pillar of light with a terrifying speed.

Combined with the large strides of its giant body, doubled up with its unnaturally fast speed, the objective came closer with great haste. Well, there was an obstacle every once in a while.
