" This is the area mister, there are most likely four or five swamp monsters here. You see there, those are swamps." A man wearing rags said, " Please compensate me, I have guided you as you had asked."
" Here take this, mister guide." Conan handed him two red coins and jumped. Earlier by focusing his senses and through the smell he could tell that there were some monsters.
" Mid-level threat, I should have come earlier, then maybe I would have got to meet that tree demon," Conan said to himself as he walked where the swamp monsters were supposed to be.
There were several places on the ground where the swamps were, when Conan got closer he could not hear anything. The monsters were trying to be as quiet as possible, he got closer and closer trying to bring out the monster.
Suddenly the swamps started to expand towards him, he stopped and stood in one place and his daggers changed into a long sword. The sword had a red hilt and black blade with several runes inscribed over it.
* Clang.*
From one of the swamps, a monster came out swinging his claws at Conan, he sidestepped and attacked his arm which was made of metal like things. The monster blocked the attack but there were few cracks over his Arms.
It writhed in pain and was ready to jump back into the swamp but before it could reach there, the Sword changed form into an arrow and shot toward the beast's head. It lay bleeding with few movements that indicated a painful death, even though Conan tried to do it in a single attack.
The other monsters sensed this and hesitated to come out, They knew that they will meet the same fate. The noticing feature about these monsters was that they had small-sized bodies but their arms were larger and had dangerously sharp claws, and fins between their fingers.
Conan was wondering how can he bring the remaining six monsters out.
' I guess, I will have to take more risks.' He jumped in the middle of the six swamps. Suddenly the ground started shaking from each direction where the swamps were. ' I guess, it's a little more fun now.'

" Excuse me, there is someone who wants to talk to you, sir Ben." Ben and Yelena were eating with Zosia and Vena when the inn lady called for them.
He walked in front of the door, a beggar was standing. Ben was surprised by this,
" I have a message, From someone named Conan. He said to meet him at the Traveler station in the morning tomorrow."
" Okay," Ben said.
" Pay one black coin." The beggar asked.
" Huh?" Ben was taken back because he had no physical money. " Wait, didn't Conan pay you?"
" No!" The beggar said.
" Oye Old Man, Scram or I will bite your balls." From behind Ben, Kenny spoke.
" You dare, I am asking for payment for the work I had done." The beggar replied.
" Big Brother, is that true?" Kenny asked," or is he just bothering you?"
" Well, He did some work, but you see, I don't have the physical money. This is our first time travelling so I don't know how to acquire it. Conan had the physical money so he paid, I don't know how should I pay now." Ben explained.
" That Big brother was Generous, there is no way he didn't pay," Kenny replied, " Old man, You should know that lady over there will cut your legs if she finds out later that you swindled her boyfriend."
The old man did not say anything and quietly made the run for it, but Kenny's word didn't only affect him but Ben also felt his body shake.
" Hey, I am not her boyfriend."
" Oh, My mistake, then that brother must be the boyfriend."
" He is not either and, don't say that in front of him," Ben warned and walked back inside.
Kenny followed from behind,
" Sisters, Do you need anything else?" He asked.
" I want steak," Yelena said, the others were done eating only Yelena was the one still eating.
" You have a healthy appetite and you still look so flawless," Vena asked.
" Huh?" Yelena reacted.
" I mean, how are you so beautiful? Is your light that strong?" She asked. " You know our Zosia is one of the five chosen of the lights and she still praised you. Aren't you honoured?"
" Vena, you are being rude," Zosia responded to Vena.
" My light, Yeah, people say it's strong. But, I think it's not that strong. However, I think I will be able to reach a great level of strength soon." Yelena answered.
" How?" Vena asked.
" Well, using something like this." Yelena's hand started to glow in green and blue light until it combined and formed a Teal colour.
" What is this?" Vena was surprised.
" Internal Aura!" Zosia said in surprise.
" You are amazing Yelena, I didn't know it could be combined," Ben said. " Is it stronger?"
" Yes." Yelena had a Grin on her face while showing off her talent.
" You are a great talent, I only know one more person who can do such a thing," Zosia said.

Outside the traveller station, a man stopped his bike, there were several monster corpses loaded on the truck that followed him to the station. An official of the station came running and looked surprised at what was loaded on the truck.
" I am here to sell these, and I need to claim my reward," Conan said, He was covered in monster blood that was green and slimy. " Give me the clearance certificate, also can I use your shower if you have one." He asked.
" Sir, these are the Swamp monsters. Please wait." The official ran inside the station quickly bringing a few of the other officials with him and also someone that looked to be in a higher position.
" Confirm the completion and make the payment." The higher officials said.
" We appreciate you completing the quest, My name is Mark Mills, and I am the manager here." The officer introduced himself, " May I ask your rank, sir?"
" I am not registered for hunting."
" Would you like to register sir?" Mark asked, he was a little surprised by this. ' Not registered, but if this man can do this much then undoubtedly he would be able to help with that quest.'
" No, just being a normal traveller is enough, can you please help me get a shower?"
" Right away sir," Mark said. " Also please I would like to discuss something if you allow."
" What?" Conan asked.
" Sir, it's a private quest, I think a man of your calibre is what we were waiting for," Mark answered.
