A deep hole was pierced through the giant body, from which streams of blood gushed out; countless other wounds covered the other limbs as well.
That towering body began to sway, and its head drooped down.
With a loud thud, it collapsed completely to the ground.
A massive crack opened in the red, fleshy ground, like the gaping maw of an abyss, dragging the giant's corpse down with it.
Only one shimmering object remained on the ground.
At this moment, Saphiros completely relaxed, and the long blade in her hand gradually dissipated into the air.
She dragged her nearly fatally injured body, bent down to pick up the items dropped by the monster, and examined them closely.
It was like a hollowed-out pearl, with a reddish-purple light flowing within its outer shell.
But this time, she didn't swallow it.
Instead, he put it away and hung it on his waist.
She patted her waist, as if showing off her spoils.
The materials that had been carefully selected and kept at the waist after the countless monsters died and fell collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
Saphiros dragged her injured body step by step toward the upper level of the monster rift.
...
A strange customer arrived at Gissey's shop.
When Old Jixi opened the shop door, he saw a customer wearing a huge cloak.
With the hood covering him and the sunlight dazzling, he couldn't see the guest's face clearly.
After the guest entered, Gissi finally took a good look at the strange guest in front of him.
Judging from her figure... she should look like a woman.
But the huge cloak covered the back, making it appear somewhat wide, as if it were carrying two enormous things.
As always, Gissi repeated the same words he had said countless times:
"Buying or selling?"
"……Sell?"
The other person's pronunciation seemed a bit off; even their enunciation sounded strained.
But there were plenty of people like that in the Adventurer's City, so Gissey didn't pay much attention to them. He just smoked his pipe and gestured with his chin at her.
"Okay, let's check out the goods."
With a series of clanging sounds, a pile of monster materials was roughly thrown onto the table.
At first, Gissey didn't take it seriously, puffing on his pipe and exhaling rings of smoke.
But when he saw the materials clearly, his eyes widened, and he couldn't even exhale the smoke he had inhaled; instead, it came out of his nostrils.
"Stop! Grandma, don't throw it away yet!"
He quickly tossed his pipe aside, put on gloves, and carefully gathered the monster materials aside as if they were precious treasures, his eyes shining. He picked up a magnifying glass and examined them closely.
"Please be careful, these are all valuable items."
He looked down, but the more he examined it, the more he gasped in shock.
"The horn of a Magnet Beast? Not bad, not bad..."
"Hiss... This is the heart of Timok, the city lord of the twentieth floor? This is a rare treasure!"
No sooner had Gissi finished speaking than that unnatural voice rang out:
"How much in total?"
Looking at the woman in front of him whose face was not visible, Gissi felt a little respect.
The fact that she was able to collect these materials shows that she is definitely a very strong person.
Gissi didn't dare to offer a low price and offend others. After looking around, he stretched out a hand and gestured in front of the customer.
"Although it is precious, your quantity is too small."
"Probably around that number."
He held up his palm and made a five, and the woman in front of him nodded.
"I want to... leave... here, and go to... a more prosperous city than this."
Is there... a way?
The voice was somewhat intermittent, but compared to before, the pronunciation had become much clearer.
Gissey picked up his pipe again, took a puff, and exhaled a smoke ring.
"Ah, miss, are you looking to develop your career in a better place, so you're specifically asking if I have any connections?"
"You've come to the right person."
He said it with a smile.
"If you don't have a team, with your abilities, you'd be better off developing your career in the capital. It would definitely be more comfortable than staying in this wretched place like Godinlima."
"Adventurer's job isn't for humans."
Adventurers toil away all day, but it's better to work as lowly as noblemen.
Little did they know that even the Beast Guild had joined the Clavner family, were they planning to run away?
Following the noble lords, that's what it means to live a life of luxury.
"Miss, here's your money."
"Here's 50,000 Georgies in total. Please accept this."
As he spoke, he took a bag of Geo from the cabinet.
"You know about the magic train, right? Take this money and go to the counter to buy a ticket. It will take you a day to get to the capital."
The woman put away her purse and pulled it into the cloak beneath her.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew open the shop door, passing over the woman's cloak and pulling her hood down to reveal her pale face.
Under the sunlight, it appeared even paler than someone suffering from malnutrition.
Those green eyes, like snake pupils, suddenly narrowed, the two vertical pupils even shrinking into two thin lines. The strange eyes seemed to have a bewitching quality, causing the boss to stand still, holding his pipe, in a daze for a second.
While it was captivating, it also made Gissey feel incredibly dangerous.
The woman in front of him seemed completely unconcerned, put her hood back on, and nodded slightly to Gissey.
A burst of air surged beneath his feet, and his body flashed.
In the blink of an eye, only a cloud of dust remained.
When Gissi blinked again, the person in front of him had already vanished.
He blinked, stunned.
"Damn, it's rising too fast."
"I saw monsters coming to the city to sell things."
