(Chapter 84)

Shyrveen reached the inn and saw the members are already in the dining room on the first floor while chitchatting.

"Hi."

"Hello."

He greeted them and they greeted back and saw the expression on his face after snatching the beer from Yoo Jin-Ho's hand and finished it down in one drinking.

Yoo Jin-Ho wants to cry but only to scratch the back of his head and went to the inn owner and ordered another batch of beer that made of some fruits from the sanctuary.

Only a few of these fruits and plants that were discovered that are edible, because a hundred years is enough time to elevate in the sanctuary the habit of drinking liquor.

It is expensive, but Shyrveen gave Sung Jin-Woo some of the money, and so it is not a problem anymore.

Plus the meats of the creatures can be exchanged and somehow can substitute the currency while in this place.

"Oh, what's wrong, Hunter Shyr?..."

Baek Yoon-Ho asked him first after seeing the guildmates are still 'shy' about each other.

"Some roller coaster of emotions?"

He said sarcastically while drinking another mugful beer from Sung Jin-Woo.

"With Manli?"

Shyrveen shook his head and simply answered.

"No, but still some personal things..."

"..."

Making all of the members to look at each other before Thomas Andre hurriedly said in a loud voice.

"Let's drink for that then!"

Shyrveen raised his cup and clinks from mugs can be heard from their table.

Then they proceed to telltale their adventures but Shyrveen's mind is out of the place, and woke up from his trance while massages his forehead.

'Shit! I even forgot to give auntie his protection item... Ugh!... Even though I was strongly saying that I'll be fine not meeting them, but my mind is really occupied by them, huh?..."

And decided to leave first but didn't forget to finish his last mug.

"Fuah! I'll go to sleep first, I want to relax my mind. Sorry guys."

He went upstairs while being dizzy from drunkenness but he's still good because of the Mana and Gene enhancing his body.

Everyone saw his back and Lim Tae-Gyu shouted.

"It's fine, we can tell you tomorrow morning about our adventures!"

Shyrveen raised his left hand.

"Thanks then... In Xuan's office room too, since I want to tell something to her..."

"Got it, good night~"

"Good night~"

After making sure that Shyrveen's presence is out to the second floor.

Choi Jong-In asked them as he put a piece of jerky in his mouth.

"So~ What do you guys think about him?"

Go Jun-Hei thought and voice out his theory.

"He said that he needs to do something here, right? Maybe that was the thing in his mind now..."

And only to be followed by Cha Hae-In.

"But still not finished about it? Isn't that a bad news then?"

Ma Dong-Wook simply added before gulping down his beer.

"Let's just ask him tomorrow but give him time alone for now."

Then everyone nodded for it and continued to their storytelling about the people, that forcing them to join a certain gang.

About the creatures that they encountered from Ordinary to Primitive and a few Mutants, and compared them to the usual monsters of the Earth.

And lastly, updating about their Gene counts to each other and somehow ended up planning to create a team that consists of three people, since Yang Manli, Qin Xuan, and Shyrveen are still not available.

Feeling the confusion of Sung Jin-Woo.

"C'mon, Hunter Jin-Woo!~ You're already a one-army man~"

Said by Choi Jong-In that already drunk and took his last breath before slumping on the table.

Sung Jin-Woo shrugs before looking at the sleepy Cha Hae-In.

"... You need help?"

Cha Hae-In raised her head up to look for the person who said that and smiles after seeing Sung Jin-Woo then she stands up wobbly before saying.

"Oh~ Itsh my dir Jin-WooOH~ Shur~ Hic!"

Cha Hae-In is too drunk and not that far from Choi Jong-In's worst situation and caress the cheeks of Sung Jin-Woo before hiccupping then hugs him until she finally went into her dream world.

"..."

Sung Jin-Woo blushed after what Cha Hae-In did, and he carries her in princess style but only to make all the members, that still strongly standing against drunkness, to whistle loud in the dining room from seeing this.

They are drunk but Go Jun-Hei, Ma Dong-Wook, Thomas Andre, and Baek Yoon-Ho are still rational.

Just might be still rational.

"Hohoho! If you move just one step on that stair, you will lose, Hunter Jin-Woo."

Because they noticed that no matter how they cheat secretly until they reach to the point of making Sung Jin-Woo drink more beer than them shamelessly, there's no a fucking single sign of him being drunk.

And Thomas Andre can only shamelessly said as he meet Sung Jin-Woo's stares.

After a couple of seconds.

Sung Jin-Woo nodded and decided to sleep too.

"HOOO!!! HE IS DEFEATED! FUAH!~"

"In your dreams, Hunter Thomas!"

"Fool! This is already our dream! More drinks!"

"More beers!!!"

Shocking all the people that still drinking in the inn too and shook their heads from seeing these outrageous people.

And that's when the Five Beer Sovereigns are born in the Steel Armor Shelter, picture of them was drawn overnight and copies were made to spread around the shelter the next day.

Morning.

Qin Xuan is holding the newspaper with the drawing picture of her guildmates and put it down on the table while she can only shake her head as she studies their faces again that sitting casually on the seats in her office.

Emittere Guild is complete again in this tiny room.

And she coughs to get their attention first, then she was given the chance to speak first.

"Currently, Son of Heaven-"

"Oh!? He finally wants to beg mercy? His dogs irritated us yesterday."

Thomas interrupted and crackles his knuckles while smirking.

"No! Not that, and will not be in the future, that's for sure..."

She shakes her head after hearing Thomas' outburst and continued.

"For the next few days, he will need the Bullseye Team's help because they found a Sacred-Blood creature that is flying and he said that he will sponsor the team with 1% Z-steel arrows."

Making all of them looked at each other and stared at Shyrveen at the same time.

Shyrveen massages his chin after hearing this because the Z-Steel things that he need is still not on his hands yet.

"... Then, me, sweety, brother Sen and Tae-Gyu will go with the team?"

"Yes."

Shyrveen glances at them and raised their thumbs up.

"We're good for it, then what's next?"

Shyrveen asked and everyone spends one hour of storytelling with a question and answer portion before Sung Jin-Woo took everyone's attention for a serious matter.

"Hyung-nim, do you know a place that a hellish place in this place?"

"No... Wait, where did you go?"

"Beyond the Abysmal Depths, if we are marching... We might reach the place for three months. and that's only for going there."

"... Does the volcano didn't stop spilling magma and the smoke plumes are continuous with fire plants in the vicinity?"

"... Yes, and I thought you said no?"

"I really didn't go yet to the place like that but..."

Then Shyrveen pointed at his temple.

"Irveen got his phoenix Beast Soul from there..."

Everyone nodded from this, since the moment they joined the Guild, things about him being a vessel of Absolute Being, and Sung Jin-Woo as the Shadow Monarch has been told to them that day.

But they didn't tell everyone about Go Jun-Hei being the late Go Gun-Hee, requested by him since it will useless to know about it now.

And then Sung Jin-Woo followed up.

"But the phoenix isn't that big... Just almost the height of the giant that was guarded the S-Rank Gate in Japan. What do you think, Hyung-nim?"

"Too small, it's still a Sacred-Blood creature for sure..."

Shyrveen said as his mind is being occupied by the three hundred years journey of Irveen.

"..."

"..."

"It must be trying to break through to the Super stage..."

He added soon and was confused by their glares to him.

"... What?"

Every sighs about this, and Qin Xuan said.

"Too small he says~... Seriously, Shyr?..."

Yang Manli hugs him and pinches his nose.

"Darling, you're taking those Sacred-Bloods as joke now?..."

"!!! Wait... Did I really said that?..."

Shocking Shyrveen and hold his forehead.

"..."

And everyone nodded to him, making him speechless and thought.

'Is this the effect of Absolute Being's remnants?... Even though Soul was purified and erased of his ego now... Higher being is still a higher being, eh?... Once powerful will always be powerful and will continue to look down on things?...'

He shook his head and bow.

"Sorry about that... But if you guys want to-"

"Wait, Hyung-nim... I only told the place but not the creatures yet."

Sung Jin-Woo interrupted him and decided to add about the creatures in the vicinity.

"?"

And then he elaborated on them.

"Around the volcano, 7 Burning-Eye Salamanders are guarding the place. They are Sacred-Blood creatures but still following that phoenix. And once one of those guards was hunted, the phoenix will go out of the volcano and will try to incinerate the trespasser to dust."

"..."

Everyone except for the four people, Shyrveen, Han Sen, Sung Jin-Woo, and Yang Manli, is imagining how strong the Sacred-Blood and Super since the Mutants that they encountered yesterday can kill them if they were too lax around them.

Then Shyrveen said as he shrugs.

"It's up to you all, if you want to hunt that Sacred-Bloods though..."

Go Jun-Hei became curious after piecing some information.

"How this Irveen killed the phoenix then?"

"He already maxed his three Geno Points, consumed the Soul of Ice Monarch, and unlocked the fifth Geno Lock of the Icesheath.

He killed the phoenix in a snap of his fingers because it went out the moment Irveen was bypassing that territory.

Turning that burning hell place into a freezing hell place instantly, and realized that the creature was a Super creature and an Aura-Type Beast Soul..."

Shyrveen simply said shocking Han Sen, Yang Manli, and Qin Xuan.

"Beast Soul Aura! And Super to boot!?"

While everyone is being confused about this Beast Soul Aura and noticed by them and told them about the Beast Soul Aura.

"When the Beast Soul Aura summoned, it could improve the ability of all the Beast Souls within the range of 30 feet by 20%."

"... But I don't think it's only 20% though."

Sung Jin-Woo added after calculating what he felt when the phoenix buffed the creatures around it.

That made everyone looked at each other for a couple of seconds before sighing.

"..."

"So what's the plan now?"

Choi Jong-In asked and everyone began contemplating if they should try once to get an experience fighting such.

Then Shyrveen trolls their emotions to be more in jumble while smirking.

"If you really want to fight a buffed Sacred-Blood, I really don't mind~ I'll accompany the phoenix for the time being because I plan to wait for it to evolve into Super, but you all need to deal with the other 6 once we killed the first one though."

"..."

"Of course, I might try to kill it as well if we are being pushed into the corner. But once it was done. Don't enter my ice domain because it can't tell a foe and a friend~"

"..."

That finally finalized their thoughts and they shook their heads while waving their hands.

"Nah~ We all are good! And Jin-Woo already poked that nest, and so, for sure, those creatures are still in high alert since it happened just yesterday, right?"

Then everyone nodded seriously, not because they are scared but in rational speaking, all of them are at a disadvantage.

High temperatures will dehydrate them and it will tire them much faster, and so fighting in that place without Shyrveen's ice is a simple big idiocy.

"Then we will continue to our plan first then~"

Lim Tae-Gyu said, and Shyrveen, Han Sen, Yang Manli, and Qin Xuan became curious.

"Plan?"

"Yup, we will hunt Mutant and if possible, a loner Sacred-Blood with only three people."

Shyrveen looked at Han Sen that nodded to him before saying.

"We two will pass."

"Eh?"

Han Sen explained.

"I need to follow brother Shyr because of something related to my family first, then we will go to a physical test center to check our current powers with and without Beast Souls."

"Oh! I'll join you both!"

Yang Manli stated but only to hear Qin Xuan mad voice.

"Manli!? You've been sticking on his ass and already forgot about me!"

"That..."

She scratches her cheek and felt a pat on her head and looked at Shyrveen.

"Just go with her, sweety."

"... Alright."

And then Shyrveen looked at Qin Xuan, then explained about the protection item that he made and decided to create for them too, in different items.

"By the way, you guys will be teleported in this room, while, Xuan."

"Yes?"

"I need some proof of your identity because I need to make the garrison that near brother Sen's family to be their safe point once the item is triggered, the guards may ask me for what I need to do in the garrison though."

Qin Xuan nodded and didn't ask anymore.

"Wait."

After a couple of minutes, she handed the letter that she made and explained that it will give him access to freely do what he needs but on a certain location only.

She can't let Shyrveen go around in the garrison because of the protocol.

Everyone stands up and said bye to each other before going to their intended location.

And Sung Jin-Woo changed his mind and decided to go with Shyrveen and Han Sen instead.

Han Sen teleported out first and Shyrveen grabs the shoulder of Sung Jin-Woo.

"You should cover your body with your Mana first, so the system within you, can recognize the place. And once you stepped in Roca, I think you will automatically be teleported to it since you already have a Teleportation skill that can go back and forth between the sanctuary and Earth, right?"

Sung Jin-Woo nodded and he did what Shyrveen said.

Seeing this, Shyrveen summoned Deisy and meld himself and Sung Jin-Woo with her before teleporting out to the Roca...
