Fantastic Effect of Item (4)

At that moment, I could not help but rejoice because I could conclude that I was supposed to not only block the monsters but also explore the plains to clear the level 1200 regular quest. In other words, I was supposed to do both of these things together. If exploring was useless, it would be impossible for me to find this kind of item. Moreover, the orcs I killed initially on the path to the Last Shelter did not drop these 'soul spheres of a monster shrouded in darkness'.

In other words, this was an item that I would not have known about if I hadn't explored.

So, instead of messaging my sister directly, I talked to her through our party window.

I could explore the plains now because only weak monsters appeared since we were still in the initial rounds of this quest, but if stronger monsters appeared later, I would not dare explore because I had to defend the Last Shelter. So, I had to time my explorations properly as it would have a huge impact on me winning first place.
