The three Kain's henchmen in the core room were left to the club seniors.

After a brief but fierce battle, the dungeon exploration club members were able to eliminate the remaining remnants.

It's just that Kain was too strong, so he excluded them.

The dungeon exploration club's skills were not to be easily underestimated either.

The dungeon core amplification device that they had installed was not yet activated.

The dungeon exploration club took the spies' dungeon core amplification device and left the dungeon.

Of course, after destroying the dungeon core of Dungeon D-276 and enduring the D-grade monster wave.

'The mana points I got from the Kain-catching quest are 44K. The ones I got from enduring the monster wave are 42K. 86K mana points isn't bad.'

Davian internally exclaimed his point status.

=====

[Mana Points: 552K]

―Magic Power: 512K

―Inner Power: 536K

―Outer Power: 116K

―Points Remaining Until Absorption of the Archmage's Heart: 284K

=====

The points remaining until absorption of the Archmage's Heart are now 276K.

Kain is also taken care of.

The Empire will send another successor, but.

Judging from the past, it will take more than a month before the successor causes another dungeon core amplification.

'During this summer vacation...'

284K mana points.

If few, about seven times, if many, about ten times.

If I do this much more activity of destroying dungeon cores and enduring monster waves.

I can absorb the 9-star magic power contained in the Archmage's heart.

The full-scale schedule of the dungeon exploration club, which designated this summer vacation as a period of intensive activity, began.

There are 12 dungeon core destruction plans scheduled before the vacation ends.

'Enough.'

When that day comes.

At least in the Pax continent where the Alkancia Kingdom is located.

There will be no one who can stand against Davian Naone.


Several weeks later.

Somewhere between the central desert area and the western mining area.

"The Red Devil is finally encroaching on this place!"

"What? Finally... has that devil come this far?"

"Yes! All troops are on standby, fully armed. What shall we do?"

Hoo.

A man with a large build and long gray hair sighed deeply.

"The Red Devil... has already crushed all six branches. And our main base has moved its stronghold for the third time to avoid that devil."

The man who came in to deliver the news urgently bowed his head deeply, still not catching his breath.

"Uncle, this is too hopeless... We... we cannot defeat the Red Devil. There's no suitable place to run to anymore."

"I told you not to use the title 'Uncle' within the stronghold."

"What does that matter now? If the Red Devil arrives here, we will all be slaughtered."

He had always been strict with his nephews, but.

This time, the gray-haired man couldn't nag any further.

"How can there be such a disaster? Our organization, which no one dared to touch... our family business, which has continued for 100 years since grandfather's generation... is it going to collapse so futilely? Red Devil... it's like an unavoidable disaster."

"What will you do?"

"Since that devil doesn't know how to give up and continues to chase us, as you said, there's no point in running away anymore. Is anyone outside! Bring me my helmet and armor!"

"Uncle!"

The man hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the legs of his uncle sitting on the chair.

"Wouldn't it be better to have your subordinates protect this place and our family flee to somewhere far away to plan for the future...?"

The gray-haired man's eyes turned fierce.

"Family? Who are you calling family? Are you referring to the cousins who inherited the blood of our late grandfather?"

"Of course..."

"Wrong. That mere blood? Why don't you understand that it's just a means to efficiently control this large organization? True family means all the comrades here who share our will."

Meanwhile.

Some subordinates outside the temporary hut came in with a large helmet and armor.

The gray-haired man heavily armed himself with iron armor painted all black and came out of the hut.

The man called his nephew followed closely behind.

Here and there, they found the gray-haired man coming out and shouted.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

With a few shouts.

The surrounding area, which had been buzzing, became quiet.

Dozens of armed personnel who had been looking at the entrance of the stronghold with tense eyes now all looked at the gray-haired man.

The gray-haired man shouted loudly.

"I! Steelin, the 3rd boss who inherited the blood of the late boss Rogni, speaks!"

The gray-haired man, Steelin, slowly looked around and opened his mouth again.

"Our Black Heart Bandit Gang will never surrender to the Red Devil! Here today! We will all gather our strength to defeat the Red Devil and honor the souls of our fallen comrades! Not a single one of you step back! Long live the Black Heart!"

"Long live the Black Heart!"

"Long live the Black Heart!"

The Black Heart Bandit Gang.

As Steelin said, it is a bandit gang that has been maintained for 100 years over three generations.

The boss, as well as the branch managers and key executives of each branch, are all descendants of the late boss Rogni.

The main area of activity is human trafficking.

But.

Was it a problem that they recently expanded their scope of activities?

Are they getting payback for the evil deeds they've committed?

They are being brutally crushed by the Red Devil who suddenly appeared half a month ago.

The six branches were completely devastated in less than a week.

The stronghold where Boss Steelin is located has also been attacked twice and has come to this place.

Hundreds of comrades have died or run away.

All that's left is about thirty people here.

The only good thing is that most of the elite members of the bandit gang remained here.

"There! There comes the Red Devil!"

A hurried voice came from the temporary watchtower.

Steelin walked forward with a thud.

"Get out of the way! I'll take the lead."

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

"There's nowhere to retreat anymore anyway. We will defeat that Red Devil here and revive our bandit gang! Listen everyone! If I die, then the next comrade. If the next comrade dies, then the next comrade. If there is only one person left after defeating the Red Devil, that person is the 4th boss of our Black Heart Bandit Gang. Now, let's fight!"

"Waaah!"

"Waaah!"

Steelin started running forward first.

He drew the twin swords he had in his waist.

The Red Devil is visible ahead.

'Red Devil. I will kill you no matter what... a devil from hell to destroy our bandit gang.'


Red Devil.

A force that is hard to believe is human.

That's why the nickname devil suits her better.

Red hair reminiscent of hellfire.

Slender arms and legs from which it's impossible to know where such strength comes from.

Sharp eyes, but a pretty and attractive face.

Elton Academy uniform that fits snugly on her body.

The name given by the bandits of the Black Heart Bandit Gang, the Red Devil.

Real name, Bonita Fortis.

Bonita Fortis looked at the rushing bandits, untied the hair tie around her wrist, and roughly tied her long hair back.

"That guy over there is the boss. The one running in wearing black armor. He always ran away first, but now he's running ahead."

Velum next to her replied.

"Is it the final stand or something? Is he tired of running away now?"

"Looks like it. Now, let's finish our summer homework. It's been almost 3 weeks."

"I know. Who would have thought they would run away this much."

Nubes chimed in.

"I heard they were calling each other comrades and comrades. They abandoned their branches and strongholds and ran away. I guess they want to go out looking cool at the end."

Luna asked.

"Then is today the day that the human trafficking bandit gang is completely gone? I heard they sold not only women but also young children."

"I know. They've been doing that for 100 years already. It's just that the scale is ambiguous, so they haven't been subjugated by the guards."

Swish.

Bonita drew her long, slender sword.

"Kill all who attack. As always, I'll take the left, and you three take the right."

"Okay! Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

Like that.

The Red Devil from hell's.

Summer homework was coming to a close.

"Ugh!"

Boss Steelin rushed in, wielding his twin swords ruthlessly.

Quick movements that didn't match his large size.

Fairly sharp sword tips.

It was swordsmanship that was threatening enough to ordinary people and other bandits.

But in Bonita's eyes.

'It's really sloppy.'

It was just the swordsmanship of a mere bandit gang boss.

Steelin's twin swords drew a V and cut into Bonita.

A fairly decent sword path that was difficult to avoid to the left or right.

Swoosh.

Bonita's right foot slid forward and long.

Her waist was bent flexibly.

Swoosh!

With one upward swing of the sword after crouching down a lot.

"Kuaaack!"

The right arm of Steelin, the human trafficking bandit gang boss, was cut off.

Swoosh!

"Kuaaaaack!"

This time, the left arm.

With just two movements, Bonita's sword cut off both of Steelin's arms.

"Sa, save me!"

"Weren't you prepared to die and rushed to the front?"

His true feelings poured out because he was so desperate.

"Th, that's because I need to plan for the future! I couldn't help it! Please save me!"

"What planning for the future when both arms are cut off."

"Sa, just save me! Okay! I won't plan for the future and will live a good life from now on! Please save... Cough!"

"Too late. You evil bastard."

Bonita's sword accurately pierced through Steelin's armor.

"Bo, Boss!"

"Boss!"

"R, Red Devil."

"The boss is down!"

"She's definitely a devil! Ugh! I'm going to run away!"

The history of the Black Heart Bandit Gang, which had been maintained as a family business for 100 years, came to an end completely by the Red Devil.


A few days later.

For once, the Gray Bear Exploration Team all gathered at Davian's accommodation.

Everyone has a refreshed look after finishing their summer homework.

Bonita, Nubes, Velum, and Luna returned after crushing the Black Heart Bandit Gang.

Libere carried out a request to find a family heirloom that a certain count had lost.

"Really unexpected? That Latia and Karin did such a great job."

The surprising point was.

It was Latia and Karin's summer homework.

The two went to a night school where young aspiring magicians with high mana affinity but without money to receive proper education gathered, and taught children for 3 weeks before returning.

Latia said the children were so cute.

Karin said it was the most rewarding thing she had done in her life.

Since the two already had top grades in the magic department, it was an evaluation that they could choose without burden.

Luna asked.

"But Davian, why do you look so bad today? The club's summer schedule ended all yesterday."

Unlike his friends who were refreshed after finishing their summer homework.

Only Davian was sitting with a serious face.
