I used teleportation to get back to the surface. Upon looking at the tamed monsters list, I saw that Spriggan's name was displayed on it. The Phoenix as if following me finally managed to get to the surface as well. When it got out, I unsummoned it and its name went back to the display list.
I slumped down and took a deep breath. After which I decided to check my updated status.

'Magic Sword went up to A huh… I guess I've already raised my skills more than enough…Wait?'
"AHHHH!!!"
I suddenly remembered. The Magic Core! I hadn't taken the Unique Skill Magic Core that drops every time I kill a BOSS!!
I hurriedly headed back to the already collapsed Dungeon. Currently there was a huge pit at where the Dungeon had been originally and the underground was a complete mess.
"Do I really have to search for it in the midst of all of this…?"
I could feel the hopelessness in the air, however I still took a deep breath and began my search.
5 Hours later――
"I'm beat."
By using Earth Magic and Detection, I had somehow managed to find Spriggan's Magic Core.
'I think this was the most I've struggled to obtain one of these…'
I immediately appraised it.
Doubles the owner's Strength and Defense stats.
'Hm?Isn't this just like an inferior version of Herculean Strength…? What a let-down for all the effort I put in.I wonder what's gonna happen when I eat it. Is it going to take effect, or will it not work at all since I already have Herculean Strength, which is basically a better version of it…Either way it won't hurt to eat it!'
After fully wiping the Magic Core with a wet tissue, I ate it. After waiting for a bit, I took a look at my status.
"Hm?Unrivalled Strength isn't displayed?"
'I guess it really didn't work…'
Just when I thought that, I noticed that Herculean Strength had disappeared as well!
'What's going on!?'
I suddenly panicked but in the next moment, I noticed there was a new skill displayed in my status.
Increases the owner's Strength and Defense stats by 10 times.
"…Are you kidding me?"

Gifu Prefecture ・ Gifu Airbase――
I came back to Japan. Due to going to China and Russia back to back, I was quite tired.
'I guess I went a little bit overboard…'
After informing Sakamoto, I went to rest.
I was currently lying in my bed. I once again checked over my complete status.

'It really is one unbelievable status window. I myself am like a monster…'
At that time I got a sudden notification from Sakamoto. Apparently there was a big-wig from the Cabinet Office that wanted to meet me…
'I wonder what this is about?'
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
Inside an office in the Gifu Airbase, myself, Sakamoto and Mr. Hagino the Assistant Vice-Minister of the Cabinet Office that had come from Osaka had gathered. Mr. Hagino sitting in front of me had taken on a really humble posture.
"Mr. Gojo, I hope you'll find it in your heart to forgive me for disturbing you when you were resting."
Upon wiping his forehead with his handkerchief, he placed a sheet of paper on top of the table.
"The thing is that the country's research facilities are currently in the process of investigating the unknown medicines that you gave to us the other day… On behalf of the Government, I would like to ask you if we could purchase them."
'Medicines?Oh, probably the Potions and Elixirs that I didn't need, there was that Miracle Drug as well…'
I thought that by giving them to the Government, maybe they'd be of use to them. They were completely useless to me after all.
"However I'm ashamed to say that due to the current state of the country, the Government isn't what it used to be, so we're not sure as to whether we'll be able to offer you a satisfactory amount Mr. Gojo…"
"It's fine.It's not like I was planning to sell them for a high price either way, you don't need to worry yourself over it."
"Is that so!Having you say that really does lift a stone of my chest.This is the amount we are able to offer you, so if you would please look over it."
I took a look at the piece of paper that Mr. Hagino put on the table just a minute ago. On in there were prices listed for each individual thing, and at the bottom there was the total amount.
Total Amount: 84,200,000,000 YEN (784,756,630 USD)
"...…Are you kidding me?"
