One-Eyed Monster

The four bastards from the smoke always carried some decent potions with them, although these things weren’t much use to Igor and Kadi, they were considered treasures dropped from monsters after all.

The Sunset Flower is naturally abundant. Igor followed Sim’s method and fed the girl a few sunflower leaves, and sure enough, her pale complexion started to improve.

”Why hasn’t she woken up yet?” Kadi turned around and asked angrily.

This question made the four bastards tremble in fear, the puppet monster sucked blood in a very perverse manner, and it was already a terrifying creature. This girl, having never seen such things, encountered this situation in utter confusion and was naturally scared out of her wits.

Excessive fear leading to unconsciousness, this kind of thing has no good remedies even for someone at Sim the Wizard’s level. In the past, they dealt with such situations using fire and water as stimuli... Of course, that was to deal with the people they captured. Now, they have to figure out how to rescue someone they caught and frightened into unconsciousness, which truly puzzled them.

”Perhaps she needs to rest!” Sim the Wizard cautiously suggested.

”Fine, well, you all need to rest.” Kadi clenched his fists and slowly walked towards the four creatures!

”Spare us! Spare us!” The four bastards began to plead frantically.

But Kadi did not intend to hold back this time. He slowly walked forward, emitting a strong spirit energy that directly pressed on the four bastards...

”Spare us... spare us...” Obviously, the four bastards were being oppressed by Kadi’s spirit power to the point of being unable to speak, slowly losing their clarity.

”For what you’ve done, bear the responsibility. You bastards have harmed so many people, now you can experience some pressure yourselves.” Kadi did not relent, continuing to crush them.

Soon, the four bastards were overwhelmed by the forceful Kadi, losing consciousness.

”Kadi, you... scoundrel...” Even Igor was somewhat confused.

”Punishment, is there any reason to negotiate with these people? Heh, they’ll never change, always the same, only causing harm to others.”

”But...”

”No buts, you’ll save no one if you’re indecisive like this.” Kadi said disdainfully.

”Then what about this girl...”

”The blood loss issue is resolved, the fear issue is up to you isn’t it?” Kadi looked baffled at Igor, thinking, ’Are you serious? Even forgetting such a simple ability, you can access the Inner World, yet you can’t rescue someone from fright.’

It was only at this moment that Igor realized, and quickly unfolded his Inner World to wake the girl, whose consciousness had long shattered from fear.

The progress was smooth.

Igor successfully woke the girl, who was still a bit disoriented after excessive fright. Fortunately, Master Lao was there; he comforted the girl and shook a bell to notify the County Administrative Office to handle the situation, returning the girl home, and imprisoning the four bastards. These all needed the County Administrative Office’s intervention.

The County Administrative Office was already aware of the level of battle that had occurred here, and they reported the situation to their superiors immediately, thanks to the Exchange Beast-like Mail Bird, Rona soon learned of the news. Unfortunately, reinforcements couldn’t arrive instantaneously, and by the time they did, the battle was already concluded.

People from the County Administrative Office are weak adventurers, without the ability to handle such special incidents, they can only continuously release Mail Birds from Master Lao’s smithy.

”I told you, go lock these bastards up!” Kadi urged the County Administrative Office’s people from the side.

”We, we will lock them up.” The County Administrative Office’s people said, though deep down they thought, ’We’re not sure if we can even keep them locked!’

The County Administrative Office’s people also held a kind of reverence for Igor and them, but later, upon seeing the Mail Bird used by Igor and Perkins to communicate, they finally felt relieved because the Mail Bird was marked with the City Administrative Office’s symbol, they believed the two youths were City Administrative Office people.

At this moment, Igor also received the Mail Bird letter from Perkins.

The letter said that Sol would come to handle the matter, and indeed Sol was the only one who could arrive here first...

”Kadi, you shouldn’t make things difficult for them, Sol will come and handle it.” Igor informed Kadi of the letter’s content as well.

”Oh, so should we be setting out then?” Kadi asked.

”Yes, but let’s wait for Sol to get here first...”

”Alright, then let’s wait here for a while.” Kadi simply sat down in the smithy.

At this moment, it had been a full day since they defeated the puppet monster, and during this period, they had sent off the innocent girl, handled the puppet monster’s remains with the County Administrative Office people, and imprisoned the four bastards from the smoke.

”You gave those four smoke guys quite a scare!” Igor laughed as he spoke to Kadi.

”That’s what they deserve, to deal with people like that, you’ve got to use this method!” Kadi replied.

”I feel you’re very different from before!”

”Heh, the special training wasn’t in vain, I’ve been training for a long time with Goodley and Kuren, the World Setting Technique simulation let me see all kinds of people, though I can’t enter the Inner World myself, I’ve seen a wide variety of folks.” Kadi spoke excitedly, increasing with fervor as he continued.

”That’s true!” Igor scratched his head, still having a knot that hadn’t been untied, and that was with Master Lao, though he didn’t know how to bring it up, he always felt there was some misunderstanding between Master Lao and them.

Nonetheless, Master has not spoken to them for a long time...

”Are we really taking the Master with us when we set out?” Kadi suddenly asked.

”Who said that!” Igor’s emotions got stirred upon hearing it, wondering where that idea came from...

”I overheard your conversation with the Master yesterday!”

”Well, it seems we need to talk to Master Lao properly.” Igor rose and walked into the inner room of the smithy.

”Great, I’m coming too!” Kadi leapt up, never wanting to miss such things.

Igor felt that there was a deep misunderstanding, it seemed like Master Lao saw him and Kadi as akin to puppet monsters...

This was something Igor couldn’t accept, no matter what he had to clarify matters with Master, otherwise he wouldn’t feel right about the weapons Master Lao gave them!

”Master!” Igor began calling even before stepping into the inner room of the smithy, urgently needing to resolve the misunderstanding before setting out again!
