The bustling street was filled with noise, as if nothing had happened earlier.
As for the noisy Hestia and Lili, Blake simply smiled and shook his head. This was also a form of happiness.
"Master, can I send out a system message now?"
At this moment, Sia's cheerful and coquettish voice finally rang out. She had been silent, not wanting to disturb Blake.
"Mm. Looks like there's a surprise."
Upon hearing this, Blake's crystal-blue eyes flickered for a moment before he replied inwardly.
"Hehe, you guessed it, Master."
Sia sweetly responded, then began to operate.
In an instant, a wave of system notifications flooded Blake's mind.
"Congratulations, Master, for completing the achievement task of slaying 1,000 LV.1 monsters. Reward: 50 Luck points. Master's remaining Luck points: 220."
"Congratulations, Master, for completing the achievement task of slaying 1,000 LV.2 monsters. Reward: 80 Luck points. Master's remaining Luck points: 300."
"Hidden task triggered, entering the final phase."
"Phase 1: Punish 15 Apollo adventurers. Completed. Reward: 30 Luck points."
"Phase 2: Deal with 'God' Apollo. Completed. Reward: 100 Luck points. Master's remaining Luck points: 430."
"Phase 3: Destroy Apollo's Familia and slay Apollo. Reward: 200 Luck points."
"Hah, the rewards this time are really generous... I have to say, as expected of a mid-tier world, it's quite generous..."
After hearing the information in his mind, Blake couldn't help but take a deep breath, suppressing his excitement and forcing himself to stay calm. He knew that the more intense the moment, the more he had to remain composed.
"Sia, why are only 200 Luck points awarded for slaying Apollo? Although his intelligence is a bit lacking, he's still a 'God.' Is he really that cheap?"
Blake raised an eyebrow, slightly puzzled. Apollo was undoubtedly a god with divine power.
To be honest, even using Excalibur might not be enough to kill Apollo while he's channeling aether power. With such difficulty, shouldn't the reward be higher?
"Master, the task of slaying Apollo will temporarily grant you a divine weapon—The Spear of Longinus. That's why the reward is lower."
Upon hearing this, Blake's crystal-blue eyes gleamed with intrigue. The Spear of Longinus—now that was an incredible weapon. No wonder the reward was so low.
"Sia, you said 'temporary.' Does that mean the weapon will be recalled after this task?"
"Mm. However, if Master completes the task perfectly, you will gain the right to use the Spear of Longinus for 100 Luck points per use."
Sia explained coquettishly.
"Everything requires Luck points, huh... Well, it's not bad as a reward. The Spear of Longinus, even at 100 Luck points per use, isn't a bad deal. It's meant to be used as a trump card anyway."
Blake pondered for a moment before muttering to himself. He was quite satisfied with today's gains.
While Blake and Sia were chatting in his mind, Hestia and Lili were still bickering as the group arrived at the Guild.
Today, due to Blake's duel with Apollo, the Guild was unusually quiet, with few people around.
At the reception desk, Eina was lazily leaning against it, her half-closed eyes making it seem like she was resting.
"Eina, work's over. Time to go home."
Blake, noticing the half-elf girl in her delicate sleeping posture, suddenly had a mischievous thought and spoke loudly.
Hearing this, Eina jolted awake and sat up straight, looking somewhat drowsy.
A moment later, she fully regained her awareness and noticed the silver-haired youth gently smiling at her.
In an instant, Eina understood everything, and a rare blush of embarrassment appeared on her mature face.
"Blake, don't do that next time!"
Cough. "I understand."
Hearing this, Blake gave a sheepish smile and quickly responded.
Meanwhile, Hestia and Lili exchanged strange looks, surprised to find that aside from being gentle and domineering, Blake also had a playful side.
"Since you returned safely, I'll forgive you. Honestly, you've only been an adventurer for two days and already caused such a big commotion. You're the first person in history to do so. Don't act recklessly next time."
Seeing that Blake's attitude was sincere, Eina decided not to dwell on it. She let out a slight scolding with a smile.
When she heard the news at the Guild today, it nearly scared her to death. However, as a Guild staff member who had to remain neutral, she couldn't get involved and could only continue working while anxiously waiting for the results.
Thankfully, Blake returned safely...
Blake nodded. Though he felt a bit guilty, he could tell that Eina was genuinely concerned about him. After all, which sane person would lecture a stranger like that?
"Blake, since you won the match, you must have earned a lot of magic stones. Let me help you count them."
Blake chuckled lightly and signaled Lili to place the magic stones on the table.
As the magic stones were gradually placed down, both Eina and the other staff members widened their eyes in shock, staring dumbfounded at the large piles.
This quantity... must be over 2,000!
"W-What did you do in the Dungeon...?"
Eina looked at Blake in astonishment. Even LV.5 adventurers couldn't possibly gather this many magic stones in a single day, especially considering that most of these stones were from LV.2 monsters.
Even LV.5 adventurers would get fatigued from cutting down monsters one after another.
"Not much, just killed over 1,000 Minotaurs."
Blake shrugged and replied. For him, it was just a side task. If he were purely hunting instead of training, gathering 3,000 would be easy.
However, hearing Blake's nonchalant words, all the Guild staff members couldn't help but twitch their mouths.
"Just killed over 1,000 Minotaurs..."
What the hell, how is this "nothing"...?!
They had been working in the Guild for so long and had never seen an adventurer slaughter so many monsters in a single day!
Breaking historical records was one thing, but if other adventurers heard this, they'd probably faint from frustration.
