Supreme Fire Dragon led his brothers to Garbage Village. The time was way long past midnight and already heading toward dawn so it was quite chilly. Seeing the fallen leaves fluttering, winter must’ve arrived. Come to think of it, it will be Christmas soon.
“Brother, are you really going to just leave Jebok like that?”
“...Jebok?”
Supreme Fire Dragon was troubled by the question of One Fire who was walking beside him. Kim Jebok—he was definitely someone they brought in to catch the old man but he didn’t listen to orders. He was nicknamed ‘Mad Dog’ and would force players to PK with him the moment he saw them. Those hands were a bit cruel and Supreme Fire Dragon frowned.
He sent a whisper but never imagined that this guy would block him. Supreme Fire Dragon had never been blocked before...
“Big Brother, he is so impolite that he even blocked you. I will firmly teach him a lesson once he comes out of the capsule later...”
“Dude, you will end up being stabbed.”
The statement was so eerie that One Fire coughed. “Cough. Still, Brother, even if it is that guy, this is a bit...”
“I will try and use him before throwing him away. Don’t worry too much, I have an idea.”
“I understand. I believe in Brother.”
“Yes.”
They finally arrived at Garbage Village as they were talking. It was a village that looked really poor as the name suggested. However, the village would soon be gone. It had been a long time since they trampled someone. Supreme Fire Dragon drew out a greatsword from his back and activated a skill.
[The heroic skill ‘Burning Berserker Sword’ has been activated.]
[Increases berserk damage every time a greatsword is wielded.]
[If you consume a certain amount of magic power, you can release berserk sword energy.]
[The Berserker Sword boasts tremendous temperature and flammability.]
[Ignition occurs more easily.]
“Look closely, kids.”
His younger brothers behind him carefully observed. In the meantime, the skill had been strengthened while leveling up. The name had also been changed from ‘Fire Sword’ to ‘Berserker Sword’. His class was a fire berserker who once turned the continent into a sea of fire. As the name suggested, it was a heroic rated class that dealt with berserk flames. It was pretty powerful against fire, that previous fight against the old man being an exception.
Dammit, he was angry just thinking about it again. What on earth was that old man...? He couldn’t understand it no matter how much he thought. His flames didn’t work against the old man. It meant he had higher-grade flames than Supreme Fire Dragon.
However, Supreme Fire Dragon wouldn’t lose anymore. He had become stronger as his strength evolved into a berserker. He hadn’t been complacent since that day. The lessons learned at that time were priceless.
“Berserker Projection.”
[The heroic skill ‘Berserker Projection’ is activated.]
[The armor of a berserker covers your body.]
[When attacked, it will reflect berserk damage to the target.]
[Attack speed and attack power will increase every time you are attacked.]
This was one of the skills he gained after growing. It was a skill that he was able to use after he raised his fire resistance to 100% out of the desire to kill the old man. It was obtained by chance while chasing the traces of the ‘berserker’ known as the Berserker of Fire.
“Huup!”
Supreme Fire Dragon was engulfed in the berserk flames and he wielded the burning sword. The berserk sword energy stretched out with a small amount of magic power. It flew to the shabby outer wall of Garbage Village and hit it.
“Let’s go, kids.”
There were shouts from behind him as Supreme Fire Dragon walked toward the village.

Kim Sujeong, who was resting after treating the patients, felt a slight shaking. She raised her upper body. Her patients were still sleeping. What was this? Did she hear incorrectly? Just as she was thinking that, it shook yet again. This time, the noise that accompanies the shaking was heard even more clearly than before. There were many natural disasters in Arkstar. The last volcanic eruption was one of them but if she remembered correctly, there were also earthquakes. However, it was a bit abrupt for an earthquake. Was it really an earthquake?
“It is a bolt from the blue...”
[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ is rubbing her eyes.]
“I’m sorry, did you wake up?”
[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ says she felt shaking.]
She came down from the old bed and went outside. It was a bit strange. There were loud noises mixed with shouts and they were getting closer. Soon, someone screamed, “Kyaaaaak!"
“W-What?”
Kim Sujeong ran to the place where the scream was heard. In the distance, a number of men were randomly destroying the buildings. She was dumbfounded. What was going on right now...
“Kyak! S-Spare me!”
“Huhuhu. Where is Helena?”
Helena? Why Helena...
Her thoughts didn’t last long.
[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ says you should save them!]
“Right, yes.”
Kim Sujeong immediately triggered Eyes of a Firefly. Her vision was dyed in fluorescence and the night lit up. It had an infrared function and some perspective functions so it was a very useful skill in the darkness. She immediately threw a needle at the man who was threatening a woman.
“Ugh... What?”
The firefly needle flew in a straight line and precisely pierced the man’s pressure point. Divine Firefly Acupuncture was used to treat people but there were also pressure points that hurt people. Of course, it was hard to hit accurately. Fortunately, the man had been careless just now.
[Divine Firefly Acupuncture has paralyzed the target.]
[The paralysis will persist until the needle is gone.]
[The time remaining until the needle disappears is 60 seconds, 59 seconds...]
There was a duration so she needed to kill this person quickly. Kim Sujeong picked up a large stone that had fallen nearby. Looking closely, it was the remnant of a collapsed building. If she hit him in the head with this...
“No, no.” Kim Sujeong shook her head. Still, her profession was a doctor. It was too cruel to hit someone in the head with a stone. There should be a way to kill someone a bit less brutally. A large firefly by her side pointed to somewhere on the man’s body. At first glance, it was obvious that Camille was in control.
Then a message arrived.
[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ says she didn’t want you to learn this type of acupuncture area.]
[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ says there is no choice since she wants to save the innocent people.]
“Yes... thank you.”
Kim Sujeong stood in front of the man.
“Y-You...?” The man’s face became greatly surprised.
However, Kim Sujeong didn’t care and inserted a needle into the man.
[The murderer ‘Sixty-Eight Fires’ has died.]
[Your fame has increased by 500.]
The man died cleanly without bleeding, dropped an item, and logged out. Kim Sujeong quickly picked up the dropped item but it wasn’t that good. “They are just plain shoes. Wait a minute, who...?”
Sixty-Eight Fires—it was a name she had heard somewhere before. It was a very familiar name. She felt like she had met these people before.
“Ah! They’re the gangsters who kidnapped me!”
[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ is asking what a gangster is.]
“Um, If you have to ask me, how can I explain it... Haha...”
“Excuse me...”
“...?”
Kim Sujeong turned her head and saw the woman who screamed earlier. She bowed her head and expressed her gratitude. “Thank you for saving me.”
“What? Are you injured?”
“Ah, well...”
She followed the woman’s gaze and there was a slight abrasion on the thigh. Kim Sujeong treated it with a grin. It was too easy for her.
“This should be okay? First, take refuge in a safe place. I think I have to go to the other people.”
“Ah, yes. Sister, have strength!”
The woman said so before disappearing. Kim Sujeong laughed.
Sister, sister...
It didn’t sound bad. She only had a younger brother but no younger sister. Once she was called this, she thought it would be cute to have a little sister.
A message popped up as Kim Sujeong was running to the place where she heard another scream.
[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ is wondering what a gangster means.]
She was too curious. Kim Sujeong simply replied, “Just some bad guys. Extremely bad~ ones. Got it?”
[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ is nodding.]
[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ is supporting you.]
“Thank you~ ah, right. I need to let Father know about this.”
Kim Sujeong opened the whisper window.

Around that time, I was preparing to return with the group. After consulting with Joseph, we decided to rent a wagon and we loaded it with the items.
100 neutralizers. 100 bottles of troll’s blood. All that was left was a herb called Harsel, which was easier to obtain than I thought. It was because there was a place in Fortren that specialized in selling medicinal herbs. In any case, we got on the wagon with everything we bought. Of course, I was in the driver’s seat. “Hmm...”
“What’s wrong?”
I asked Joseph, “Why is it a cow, not a horse?”
The wagon rented from Fortren was a bit unusual. It was being pulled by a cow, not a horse. It wasn’t a normal looking cow but a ‘three-eyed cow’ with one eye on its forehead. However, that wasn’t the important thing. It wasn’t a horse so it didn’t feel right.
“Haha. That is because Fortren is a trading city.”
“What does that mean?”
“Due to the city’s large number of trades, it uses cows rather than horses to pull a lot of baggage.”
“Ah, this was the reason. Ahum.”
I looked at the cow with interested eyes. I saw it and thought of Yellowy who helped at my father-in-law’s farm. He was so gentle and obedient when I rode on his back...
Well, this wasn’t important.
“Let’s depart.”
After shaking the reins slightly, Yellowy set off with an “Umoo~”
It was a bit ridiculous to see a cow crossing the gorgeous big city. Yet why was it so slow?
“Hey, Joseph.”
“Yes.”
“Is it this slow?”
“Yes. Well... it reflects reality. Haha.”
“This is sickening. Why reflect this reality? Tsk.”
I clicked my tongue as I grumbled. Then a whisper suddenly arrived.
-Crystal:Father.
-Jackson:Uh, yes.Sujeong.What is it?
-Crystal:It’s a bit serious.
-Jackson:Eh?
I couldn’t help frowning when I heard it. I had an ominous feeling.
-Crystal:The gangsters came.
-Jackson:Gangsters?
-Crystal:The ones who kidnapped me the other day.
There was only one group who kidnapped Sujeong. Hah, they were continuing to do bad things. They were like cockroaches.
-Jackson:I understand.I’ll come as quickly as possible.
I closed the window with these words. I could only sigh. I would arrive very late at this rate. Just then, I came up with a good idea. “Ah, maybe...?”
I pulled an item out of my inventory. It was Minotaur’s Blazing Horns. They had the option to raise fire resistance by 50%. However, there was also one skill attached to them.
“B-Big and Beautiful Horns...?”
My face instantly turned red. What was with this skill name?
[The legendary skill ‘Big and Beautiful Horns!’ has been triggered.]
It wasn’t funny. It was a ‘legendary’ skill. The rating was a waste.
[You can understand the language of all cows.]
[Your horns make you an idol of cows.]
[Cows with stats higher than you won’t listen to you, while cows with stats lower than you will succumb unconditionally to you.]
[Submissive cows will unconditionally obey you.]
“Haha. What will happen if I use this? I’m curious.”
I directly spoke to Yellowy who was in front of me, “Yellowy.”
“Umoo~? (Did you call me?)”
Oh, I really could understand it. It was amazing. It felt like I could hear the cow language in my head. I spoke to the cow, “Yes, I am calling you.”
“Um~ moo~ (It’s amazing. A human understands me.)”
“I also find it strange. By the way, can you go a bit faster?”
“Umooo~ (I can. However, it will shake a bit. Is that okay~?)”
“That’s fine, please move faster.”
“Moo~ (I got it!)”
Suddenly, Yellowy, who was in front of me, stopped. He snorted once and started scratching at the ground. I had seen this scene somewhere before. It was like the bullfighting scenes in foreign movies...
“Umoooooo! (Here we gooooo!!)”
Shit. I didn’t think it would be like this.
