Radmilo's sword was tightly gripped by the monster in order not to stab her in the heart. She aimed her sharp claws to attack Radmilo. However, he easily dodged all of her kicks.
Feeling her claws useless, she flapped her wings, forcing Radmilo to draw his sword. The man could hold on to his position, even though his hands were injured from the sharp flapping of the monster's wings.
"Where is your arrogance that you boast about?" Radmilo inquired, pressing his sword even harder against the monster's chest.
"You have guts. You are more powerful than I imagined."
The crow tried to stand up, but Radmilo would not allow it to happen by stomping on her stomach.
"I never imagined meeting someone who could outrun me this quickly. Where did you learn that?"
Radmilo ignored the words because he had decided to use his sword to destroy the monster's heart. The monster screamed as she realized what he was about to do.
"I-I'll make you a good offer if you don't kill me! A crow monster like me can detect other monsters. Isn't this helpful?"
Unfortunately, Radmilo was uninterested in the offer. He thrust his sword deep into the monster's chest without saying anything. Blood spilled from her wound, but he did not let go of his sword. The monster's face was twisted with anger and hate.
"You damn human!"
The monster's eyes slowly closed after that scream. Her death caused a notification window to appear.
[First Quest: Defeat high-level Vampiric Bird {1/1} has been completed!]
[You have completed all the first quests! To proceed to the next quest, you must wait for fifteen minutes.]
Radmilo used the fifteen minutes to pluck every feather from the crow. Her blade-like feathers were a high-priced item. The feathers did not appear in the item drops, so he had to pluck them himself. He might sell it later.
Radmilo decided to leave the dungeon after clearing everything out. On his way, he saw crow monsters devouring smugglers' bodies. The monsters would finish them all off so others would not suspect they were killed by someone.
He should have left the dungeon right now. However, his attention was drawn to the golden badge near the bodies of the smugglers. He recognized the badge right away. It was a badge that allowed someone to enter the evil organization known as 'Kiss of Death'.
The evil organization emerged after the formation of the guilds. The awakeners who came from criminals joined the organization. They were the second major threat after the gates explosion.
"Looks like these idiots are smugglers from the organization," Radmilo spoke after picking up the bloodstained gold badge.
At first, he suspected the smugglers were working with a small broker. They hid the badge well, making him oblivious to other possibilities because they were so weak.
The evil organization could not possibly give this precious badge to the weaklings. When he thought about that, Radmilo immediately realized that the smugglers were not weak, but he was too strong.
He had thought about taking over Kiss of Death so he would not have to look for other partners. However, he never expected the opportunity to come so soon.
"Let's see how the organization develops in these times."
Radmilo's destiny today had changed. He would delay the completion of the second quest to visit the Kiss of Death headquarters. He only needed to press the badge three times and he would teleport there.
The information was got after Radmilo investigated evil organizations in his previous life. He first put on a mask before going to the Kiss of Death headquarters.
