Although Leonard, the outsider, had already stated the theoretical "reward" before Iraq officially helped, Iraq wouldn't simply walk away.

However, perhaps that's why Leonard informed them in advance... If it were someone like Vereesa or the human woman, Leonard wouldn't dare say a word beforehand.

Because they really will just slip away.

"Old Li! Shift's over..."

A female hunter greeted them in this manner, then noticed Ira and Youyou sitting in the camp. She walked towards Ira and said, "You must be Ira Elkaras? Old Li and I mentioned you. Hello, hello."

Ira stood up and extended his hand to shake hers... then his hand was enveloped by her enormous chest.

The other person was about to hug me, and without hesitation, they embraced me...

"call……"

Ira broke free, took a deep breath, wiped her face with her sleeve, and nodded in response: "Hello, for the time being, I will temporarily join you in resisting the [Evil God's Familiar], and also observe the nature of this calamity."

Upon hearing Ira's words, the woman who seemed relatively relaxed glanced at Ira, then looked at Leonard and asked, "Have you spoken to Ira about this?"

Did you say that? What did you say?

Looking at Leonard shaking his head and Ira looking puzzled, the woman simply said, "In short, do not use mana to attack the evil god's followers. When you use mana to strengthen yourself, be careful not to be touched by the evil god's followers."

"Let Lao Li talk to you about the rest... I need to rest."

"..."

Ira watched as the woman entered the camp, lay down on her bed, and fell asleep immediately. She then asked Leonard, who had walked out of the camp with her, "Shift work... Is the front line dangerous? Should we leave Youyou here?"

As Ira spoke, Youyou nodded... her combat strength was really just average.

"No need. As long as she doesn't materialize, she's safer here as a spirit than you or me..."

Leonard began to explain the existence of the "Family of the Evil God" in detail, saying, "The Familiar of the Evil God is a creation of God—the Evil God Dark Fisher... In a sense, the Familiar of the Evil God is our younger brother."

If the gods' initial creations were angels and demons, then the angels' brothers were humans and beastmen... and the evil gods' followers were the humans' brothers.

"Out of a desire for revenge, Dark Fisher created the 'Fellowship of the Evil God' after betraying the gods. These are things that can devour mana and reproduce by it... They themselves also have mana, but they can absorb all mana into their bodies."

As Leonard said this, he glanced at Ira... His meaning was very clear: the evil god's familiars were actually similar to the Ira group, and Ira could also convert other people's mana for his own use.

However, there are also differences... The rulers, including Ira, do not have their own mana.

Youyou watched Leonard leading the way, remaining in her ethereal state, feeling the increasingly humid air, and seeing the distant horizon... where some tentacle monsters were fighting with a group of people.

"What that lady said earlier meant that we can't use mana to attack... So we can only use mana to strengthen our bodies and then use the most basic swords and blades to kill, and we can't even use magical armor?"

As Yuu said this, she floated beside Ira, who was deep in thought. She looked at Leonard and asked, "What would happen if you were injured by a follower of an evil god while your body was enhanced?"

The answer is simple: Mana will be taken away too. But what Youyou wants to ask is clearly something more specific...

"The mana near the wound will be eaten by the evil god's followers, and then immediately split into smaller evil god followers. The mana belonging to the evil god's followers will also remain at the wound, constantly consuming the mana that flows to that area."

"This will make the wound difficult to heal, and the treatment will be less effective, so try to avoid getting injured as much as possible."

As he spoke, Leonard had already walked to a distance where he could feel the slightly salty wind... and it wasn't just salty, but also a faint smell of blood and a fishy stench. He said, "Our contract will be completed by the next shift change."

"..."

In other words, he only needs Ira's help for 16 hours... That's incredibly kind of him.

What do I need to do?

"Ira asked, squinting as he stood next to Leonard, looking at the dark sea... and the strange-looking sea creatures that kept crawling out, watching them being wiped out by the members of the hunting team.

The evil god's followers are indeed not strong... no, that's not accurate. To be more precise, their strength varies greatly.

Some are very weak, while others are legendary.

Of course, this level alone is clearly not enough...

In response to Ira's question, Leonard pulled out a throwing knife from his pocket, its purple light rapidly spreading across it, before tossing it onto the head of a legendary evil god's familiar... quickly poisoning it to death.

The corpse quickly turned into black water and dissolved into the sea.

"Kill those enemies who pose a great threat to the hunting team, and minimize casualties as much as possible. Help when you can, and conserve your strength when you can... It's simple, but very boring."

Leonard said this... He looked up at the sky. Even now, many people were still watching this side, even though the time ahead would probably be very boring.
