Duke lowered his head, looking incredulously at the protruding tip of the knife.

The official 'mysterious side' with a dual identity opened his mouth wide and wanted to call out his 'secret pet', but a big hand covered his mouth, not only blocking the shout that was about to blurt out, but also pulling him back to the carriage.

Blurred vision.

But Duke still vaguely saw the 'night watchman' who he thought had succeeded in deceiving him pull out a box from under his seat.

Is that......

Bomb?!

The moment the box opened, Duke's life came to an end.

At this last moment, Duke had infinite doubts in his heart.

Eventually, it became one again.

Why is there a box of bombs in the wagon?

In fact, there was not just a box of bombs in the wagon.

But...... Three boxes!

Since the K2 grenades were all used up, Jason, who suffers from extreme firepower deficiency, has been restless.

Especially when it is confirmed that some monsters and events are far from being solved by ordinary bullets and blades, such restlessness becomes like a man's back.

In order not to let his mood worsen, Jason specially applied for a bomb from Bundy.

Bundy approved.

The sheriff was also unknowingly influenced by Jason.

Sitting on the whole box of bombs, Jason quickly calmed down.

Because, he knows very well, this is the source that guarantees his safety.

Just like at this moment.

With Duke's death, the 'Helken' took shape.

A pair of visibly sharp, razor-sharp claws almost dragging to the ground.

The torso and skull are long and narrow, with no facial features visible, no legs, and only a whirlwind swirling beneath the body.

The 'secret pet' that lost the 'beast tamer' fell into a kind of dazed at this moment.

But Jason won't, and will set one of the boxes of bombs on fire.

And then......

Aimed at 'Helken' and threw the whole box straight over.

Rumble!

The flames and shockwaves instantly annihilated the 'Helken', and even the carriage was brought to the ground.

And Jason couldn't care about that.

The familiar scent crept into his nose.

Jason jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the source of the scent.

Jason, who had an experience, quickly found something like a 'pigeon's egg'.

Pick up the 'pigeon egg' Jason's mouth curled.

The joy of harvest is always so sweet.

Of course!

And that's not the whole story.

Jason could not have forgotten what Duke had said about the 'Night's Watch' advancement.

Carefully placing the 'pigeon eggs' in the purse, Jason turned and walked towards the carriage, and when Jason took out the parchment and searched for the loot, Finch had temporarily untied the horse pulling the cart and led the horse to the side, constantly soothing the frightened horse.

The spoils of war were a money bag and a walking stick.

The cane is made of solid wood, with hidden blades, but the other party does not have any firearms.

Obviously, the other party is very confident.

And with a monster-level 'secret pet' like 'Helken', the other party's self-confidence is understandable.

It's just that......

The weakness is just as obvious!

The strong one is the 'secret pet'!

And not the 'animal tamer' himself!

If Duke chooses to hide himself and send the 'secret pet' to fight, even with a considerable amount of explosives, Jason knows that he will be in a bitter battle!

Even if it wins, it must be a pyrrhic victory.

"Each 'mystical side' class has its own characteristics."

"Only by maximizing one's own characteristics can it be called the 'mysterious side'!"

"Otherwise......"

"It's not as good as an ordinary person!"

Jason counted the wallet containing 11 grams of gold and 4 grams of silver, and had a slight realization in his heart.

Almost at the same time, Jason began to remind himself that at no time, he should not give up his 'strengths', and he must not be as smart as Duke.

Maybe one day in the future, he will have to face a situation like Duke.

However, he will definitely not be as 'calm' as Duke.

Not so 'confident'.

You know, such self-confidence is already arrogant.

And the end of arrogance?

It's obvious.

With vigilance, Jason pulled out the folded piece of parchment.

After unfolding, it is recorded in Tufu language -

1. Night watchman.

2. [Defend against evil (skillful)].

3. Hunt ten different monsters and be familiar with the characteristics (including but not limited to natural monsters, evil spirits, evil spirits, constructs, and alchemy and potions monsters)

4. Have had at least 3 night battles

……

[Collecting information on the Night's Watch Advanced Class......]

【Collected Complete!】 】

[Night Watch Advanced Class 'Night Watchman' Judgment ......]

【Night's Watch Inauguration (Completed)】

【Evil Protection (Skilled) (Complete)】

[Hunt 10 different monsters and know the trait: 6/10]

[3 Night Battles (Completed)]

[The conditions are insufficient, and it is judged that the night watchman advancement cannot be completed!] 】

……

Jason is not required to judge whether the information on the parchment is accurate,

The text in front of him gave Jason an affirmative answer.

"Is the 'Night Watchman' an advanced level to the 'Night Watchman'?"

Jason muttered to himself as his gaze began to sweep over the advanced conditions.

Except for 'hunting ten different monsters and knowing the characteristics', it's all done.

And at this time, Jason finally understood why Tanir and Ser Beta were not surprised by his behavior of collecting monsters.

Obviously, they saw it as a necessity for him to advance.

Undoubtedly, this is a nice misunderstanding.

Jason is absolutely not going to explain.

Then, instinctively, Jason began to count the monsters he 'knew' in his heart.

"I've eaten 'Swagnu's Touch', 'The Laugher', 'The Trickster', 'The Submariner', 'The Tungsten Hound', 'Kemetia', 'Helken (Juvenile)', Kilken Elf (Broken), and Kansa Dikon (Juvenile)."

"Among them, 'Laugher', 'Trickster', 'Submariner', 'Tungsten Hound Dog', and 'Gramia' are familiar with the characteristics because of the teacher's notes."

"The dragon in Kansa is because of the old sir's servant's explanation."

"And the 'Touch of Swagnu', 'Helken', 'Kilken' elves don't know."

"'Swagnu's Touch' is special, put it aside for the time being."

"If I had known the details of the two monsters, 'Helken' and 'Kilken', I would have gathered eight."

"That is, eat again...... Hunt two monsters, and I'll be able to meet the 'advanced' condition! ”

Jason's eyes lit up at the thought of this.

However, it was quick to frown.

Because, it is easy to eat monsters, but it is difficult to understand the characteristics.

Unless, someone explains it to him.

Or, if you get a notebook similar to his teacher's, you can quickly complete the advanced conditions.

But it's not an easy task.

Who would tell him this selflessly?

Jason couldn't help but shake his head.

But just before he finished shaking his head, there was a slight strange noise in the carriage behind him—

Crunch!

Crunch!

Crunch!

A blood-stained palm slowly poked out.
