Arthur wakes up next to the body of the Coyac, where he sees his reflection in the beast's eyes. He notices his silver hair and yellow eyes, which he inherited from his family, but more than that, he feels something else inside him; his senses have sharpened, and he has no wounds. He wonders in his mind how the monster died.
A black sphere appears, and when it turns around, it is an eye.
Don't think too much about it; include its death as part of the contract. I couldn't let you die after signing.
Ah! What are you?
Come on, I am the God with whom you made the contract.
Arthur hears footsteps in the distance and tells the eye to hide.
Don't worry; nothing is happening. I'm in your mind; they can't notice me.
Which way did you see the monster go?
The voice goes silent. Arthur tries to see who it is, but before he can, he feels a blade at his throat.
Who are you?
At the moment he sees the black hair and red eyes, he knows who it is; it is the vice master of the Legend Guild, Ace Stone, one of the best A rank hunters.
I'll ask you again, who are you? A person intervenes; it was one of the F rank team members.
It's Arthur Solar; he was from the F rank team.
Ace lowers his spear and notices the monster behind Arthur. He examines it and sees that it has a wound beneath its head, as if a sword had pierced it. However, it was a monster that he believed had advanced to B rank, so it would be impossible for an F rank to defeat it. He asks Arthur if he knows what happened.
No, sir, I fainted when the beast threw me through that crystal in the cave. The reason I lied was that I noticed Camilo and Tom were behind me, and I had no proof of what they did, so I couldn't risk the truth.
With an A rank from the same guild, who didn't know what stance to take on the situation, Ace says that maybe one of the lightning bolts did hit, weakening its armor, and when it passed through the crystal, it stabbed itself.
Besides, irregulars are unpredictable. We'll take the core, destroy the link stone, and for your bravery, the guild will give you 500,000 units.
They took the link stone and carefully broke it outside the dungeon to try to salvage as much as possible since it is more potent than mana stones.
When they broke it in half, the dungeon closed as if it had never been. Arthur tried to hide his astonishment, as he couldn't believe everything that had happened to him earlier. As he was leaving, he saw the two who had betrayed him, who showed no signs of remorse. He clenched his fist but then released it three seconds later and smiled slightly, which surprised the eye.
Humans are strange; you're happy when those who hurt you got away with it. You're insane! I didn't choose a lunatic!
I'm happy because for the first time, there is hope for revenge. I don't have to let them go for the rest of my life.
So, will you focus only on getting revenge on those two?
No, my life goal is not that, but someday, when the opportunity arises, I will take my revenge. Meanwhile, at the Legend Guild headquarters, the guild master questions the vice master about the incident.
You don't expect me to believe that, do you? (he slams his hand on the table) The story has many inconsistencies.
I know, but I had to put something to close this case. However, I truly believe there was another hunter at the scene due to the F rank hunter.
What's so special about that F rank?
When I met him and learned his last name, I thought it was a coincidence, but then I investigated, and my theory that a hunter who was watching over him saved him made sense, as that F rank is a descendant of the Solar house.
