SL:R

Chapter 27

Ding!

Just in time, the quest was also completed.

[You have completed ‘Quest: Rescue the Survivors’.]

[Number of rescued survivors: 7]

‘They made it out of the dungeon safely.’

Sooho nodded, thinking of the Hunters who had carried the survivors out. They had promised to escape from the dungeon as quickly as possible without being caught by the magic beasts, so now Sooho only had to escape alone.

‘But before that…’

[The quest completion reward has arrived.]

[Do you want to check the reward?] (Y/N)

“Check.”
Ding!

[The following rewards are prepared.]

Reward 1: Ability Points +3

Reward 2: 1 Random Box

“Random box?” A thought popped up in Sooho’s mind. Was it an ordinary random box without the label “cursed”? He had no idea what could be inside.

Sooho accepted all of the rewards.

He invested all the ability points in his Strength stat, and shortly after, a small random box appeared in his hand.

‘I wonder what’s inside.’

When he ripped open the packaging, to his surprise, several sparkling golden coins were inside.

Cha-ching.

[You have obtained ‘700 Gold’.]

“Gold coins?”

Did they give him 700 gold for rescuing seven survivors? It was extremely cunning that he received gold that could be used in the store as soon as the store function was activated.

‘It’s not a coincidence… obviously.’

Sooho was starting to realize it too.

He felt the’ goodwill’ toward him in the level-up system inherited from his father.

‘…Thank you for the allowance, Father.’

The received gold coins all went into the inventory. Then, a notation of 700 gold appeared at the bottom of the inventory.

“Open the shop.”

A new shop window opened before Sooho.

[Shop]

Buy/Sell

The shop window was extremely simple.

Just as Sooho was about to check the purchase list to see what items he could buy…

[Little King.]

Beru suddenly appeared and asked.

[What will you do with that demon?]

Sooho’s gaze turned to the female demon lying dying on the ground.

‘Come to think of it, there’s that too.’

The enemy of an enemy is a friend.

He had fought fiercely with the lesser demons until a while ago, so he hadn’t killed her, but now was the time to make a choice.

Before that, there was something to confirm.

“By the way, I saw you two talking a while ago. Do you know each other?”

[Yes, that’s right. House Radiru was the only family not to attack my liege when he subjugated the Demon World.]

House Radiru were demons who admitted their weakness and volunteered to become slaves to Sung Jinwoo. However, if Sung Jinwoo had not been capricious, their surrender would never have been accepted. Most of the demons who had faced Sung Jinwoo in the Monarchs War had died. Or, like the lesser demons they encountered today, only the cowards who ran away from the battlefield early and hid out of Sung Junwoo’s sight were still alive.
