Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 943: IUD-Chapter 938 Hurry Up and Let Me Check

So, for the entire day, Fang Li and Iris had been continuously hunting down various monsters.

And not just ordinary monsters either.

In fact, the quest to subjugate the One Strike Bear group earlier was, ironically, one of the least noteworthy quests of the day.

After that, the monsters Fang Li and Iris hunted were all exceptionally rare and dangerous creatures, often mutated or uniquely born due to special circumstances, unable to form typical groups.

Examples included:

A Hellhound that occupied an entire village and devoured its residents as food.

A giant sea monster the size of a mountain lurks in the waters, attacking fishermen and ships.

A monstrous beast that led multiple monster groups, sweeping across the land like a locust plague.

A legendary Wyvern dwelling in a deeply buried ancient underground castle, obsessed with collecting treasures and living like a myth.

Each of these monsters was unique and extremely rare in the world, completely incomparable to common breedable monsters.

Some of them were even so powerful that their strength rivaled the Demon King Army’s Leaders, to the point where the Demon King’s forces had tried to capture and use them for their own benefit.

To humans, these monsters were disasters in physical form.

As such, not only were they targets on the Adventurer Guild’s commissioned quests, but the Kingdom itself had official bounties on them.

Once subjugated, the record on the adventurer’s card could be used to claim extremely generous rewards.

Take Beldia, for example, that Demon King Army Leader also had a bounty on him.

After Fang Li defeated him, the Adventurer Guild awarded special bonuses and a temporary cash reward, earning him a total of a full billion Eris.

Although the monsters today weren’t quite at the level of Demon King Army Leaders, defeating them still yielded massive profits.

Between reward money and bounties, each one netted at least a hundred million Eris.

Add in their valuable monster parts, fur, organs, claws, bones, all used for crafting high-grade potions and magic items, plus the huge Quest Points and experience points earned from completing such difficult missions…

Even just today alone, Fang Li had reaped a massive gain.

That was Fang Li’s harvest.

For Iris, today had been a happy day as well.

Not just because she had tasted freedom and adventure for the first time, but also because, as a member of the Royal Family, watching these monsters being defeated brought her great satisfaction.

“These monsters have been harming the people and lands of the Belzerg Kingdom for a long time.

But very few have been capable of defeating them.

Now that they’ve finally been taken down, I believe many innocent citizens will be spared from future harm.”

From any perspective, today was an extremely joyful one for Iris.

“If Otou-sama and Ani-sama knew about this, they would surely be proud too.”

That was Iris’s reward.

If Fang Li’s gains were tangible, then Iris’s were more emotional.

Because of that, this little princess gradually began to let go of her shy and reserved demeanor and opened up to Fang Li.

It was also thanks to her high spirits, and Fang Li’s overwhelming strength, that the two of them could take down so many powerful and terrifying monsters in just one day.

If it were someone else, they probably would have been paralyzed with fear, begging Iris not to get involved in such dangerous quests.

There was no way they’d allow her to recklessly go monster hunting.

And if Fang Li hadn’t been so powerful, even the entire Knight Order wouldn’t have been able to accomplish this.

At most, they might have managed to take down one or two of the monsters under Iris’s command, but not without suffering casualties.

Because of this, the way Iris looked at Fang Li grew increasingly admiring and respectful.

“Mister Fang Li really is amazing… Maybe he could even defeat the Demon King himself and save the Royal Capital…”

To others, such words might sound like childish flattery or wishful thinking; however, Fang Li could clearly see from Iris’s eyes and hear from her tone that she genuinely meant what she said.

After all, Iris had witnessed Fang Li’s strength firsthand.

And Fang Li himself said it: “I’m pretty confident in my ability to judge people.”

Perhaps it was because of this sharp insight that Iris had been able to sense a strange familiarity in Fang Li the moment they met in the audience chamber.

Of course, Fang Li himself didn’t feel smug about it.

He was simply dragging Iris around, playing wildly all over the place.

“No matter what, having a teammate who’s not only strong but also obedient and well-behaved is a rare treat…”

In other words, for Fang Li, who usually ran around recklessly with four completely hopeless teammates, worrying about their antics, bringing Iris on a quest was actually kind of relaxing and fun.

And so, within a single day, the two of them achieved a record of monster slaying so outrageous that it could easily be written into the annals of history and heroic biographies.

By the time they returned to the Adventurer Guild to turn in the quests, the guild staff’s hands were trembling as they handed over the reward and bounty money.

Naturally, this shocking record quickly began to spread.

It was destined to cause a massive stir, not just in the Royal Capital, but throughout the Kingdom.

Unfortunately for the gossipers, by then Fang Li and Iris had already wrapped up their eventful day and started to rest.

After that, Fang Li even took Iris to a street stall to eat grilled skewers, then brought her to see magic shows and festival games.

The two of them had the time of their lives.

Iris didn’t stop laughing once the whole day.

Her joy lasted all the way until nightfall.

Nighttime.

When Fang Li finally brought a reluctant, sad-to-leave Iris back to the Royal Castle, the first thing they were met with was a punishment that could only be described as thunderous fury.

“Hah!”

With a low, angry shout, Claire charged at Fang Li without hesitation the moment he stepped in.

She swung her sword down at his head, slicing the air with a sharp whistle.

“Ding!”

With a crisp, clear sound, the descending blade was effortlessly caught between two fingers, halted mid-swing.

Only then did Fang Li turn his gaze toward the furious Claire and smirked.

“Now that’s a really special way of saying hello.

As expected of a noble so arrogant she thinks the world revolves around her.”

Fang Li’s teasing words only made Claire even angrier.

“Who are you calling a self-absorbed noble, you arrogant bastard!?” Claire shouted back furiously: “Today, I’ll have your head!

It’s the perfect chance to restore the dignity of the Knight Order after what you did last time!”

With that, she raised her sword again.

“W-Wait a second!”

Seeing this, Iris hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

However, before she could intervene, Claire suddenly threw her sword aside and lunged at Iris, hugging her tightly and frantically groping her up and down.

“Princess Iris!

Are you okay?!

Did that man do anything to you?!

Did he?!

He must have, right?!

Come on, let me check you right now!”

“Kyaa!

Claire!

Stop touching me!

Ah!

Don’t take off my clothes!

Idiot!”
