An orchid-like fragrance followed the heat of the fire and spread throughout the street like a mist.
Hunger and greed filled the fiends' bodies.
They were running faster and faster.
Sharp teeth and claws appeared uncontrollably like wild beasts.
"Careful!"
Ditko called out to Kieran.
However, more than a dozen figures instantly covered Kieran's figure.
Bang!
An almost undetectable bang later, the dozen figures were frozen in mid-air.
No!
No, they were frozen!
They were truly frozen!
The ice shield on Kieran's right hand shattered instantly when the dozen figures jumped on him.
Frost energy burst out from the cracks on the ice shield like a raging tide.
Everything within a 3-meter radius was frozen.
Including … fire.
The mortal fire was suppressed by [Seattle Right Hand, Ice Shield] before and now it had no resistance at all.
Just like the fiends that jumped on Kieran.
The fiends at the front were turned into ice sculptures without any struggle.
The fiends at the back, their claws and heads were frozen as well.
Only a handful of fiends at the outermost circle were spared.
It wasn't good news though.
When [Arrogant Word] slashed through the air with a whistling sound, the frozen fiends in front of them were sliced in half at the waist.
[Arrogant Word]'s sharpness and length didn't allow any of them to escape.
Kieran, who had been waiting for a while, wouldn't let them escape either.
With [Secondary Elemental Damage Resistance] and [Body of Evil], although Kieran wouldn't have suffered any real damage in the fire, the explosion was different. Without [Primus Scale], Kieran wouldn't have escaped unscathed.
Kieran had to admit that the trap that took into account his own abilities was quite a good one.
But …
The enemies were too low level.
Or more precisely, they didn't meet his expectations.
Let alone a High Fiend, there wasn't even a single mid-tier fiend that was close to the Flurry Blade Ghost.
In the end, his harvest this time was only two pieces of equipment that emitted green light. Even with the two machine guns in the distance, their value was not considered high.
As the dungeon entries increased, Kieran gained more Points and Skill Points each time. His vision was no longer the same as when he was a newbie.
Of course, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat.
Kieran would never give up on his spoils of war.
Not to mention that it was incidental.
He scooped up the two pieces of magic equipment.
Without a doubt, it was a low-level magic equipment. There was no need to describe it in detail.
Kieran loaded the two machine guns together with the magazines into the [Crimson Ghost Stomach].
Clang, clang!
Kieran swung [Arrogant Word] repeatedly in his hand, shattering all the chains that bound everyone. Kieran then walked towards the inspector.
"How is it?"
A High Bandage appeared in Kieran's hand.
"I almost died."
The inspector was half-joking.
Then, he turned his attention to the dried corpse of the Funeral Society member.
Oaker's bloodied face started to ponder and ponder over it.
"He … Forget it, he's getting old, he likes to lament."
Shaking his head, Oaker didn't say anything in the end, allowing Kieran to bandage his wounds.
As for Kieran?
He didn't even spare a glance at the Funeral Society member's corpse.
From a certain aspect, Oaker's words might be correct but Kieran didn't agree with his point of view.
Kieran wasn't blinded by his ambition.
He knew what he wanted.
Besides, he had to constantly remind himself to stay calm in front of the things that he desired the most.
Just like now.
Oaker who went back and plunged into the Funeral Society member's trap must have gotten something out of him.
However, Kieran wouldn't disregard the Funeral Society member's injuries just because he was in a hurry to know the information that the Funeral Society member brought.
If the Funeral Society member wasn't an enemy, it was enough for Kieran to treat him kindly.
Even more so, the Funeral Society member had the shadow of his native friend.
"This … How magical!"
Oaker was feeling the cooling sensation from the [High Bandage] and after a few seconds, he couldn't feel the pain anymore and could stand up on his own.
"It's just a skin wound, it'll heal easily but if there's a bone fracture, it'll be troublesome."
Kieran signaled Oaker to be careful.
"You should be thankful that there's nothing wrong with the tapes!"
Oaker said as he passed the cowhide bag to Kieran.
"Have a look!
You will get something out of it!
Though, I suggest you hurry up, there are a lot of weird guys in that millionaire's mansion. "
Oaker reminded Kieran.
"Thanks!"
Kieran turned around with the cowhide bag and looked at Ditko who was quiet.
"I'll report everything that happened here to the headquarters. Regarding the theft of Little Alan, you shouldn't pay attention to those bastards who came for the bounty, Alan Little Alan himself is the most noteworthy one."
Ditko said.
Then, before Kieran could ask anything else, Ditko left in a hurry.
Kana who was dragging Jen and Tanya along with him.
"You still have the smell of [Merman's Meat] on you, if you don't want any more trouble, you better find something to hide the smell."
After that, the half-fiend dragged the dumbfounded Jen and Tanya who was struggling to stay and swiftly vanished from the street.
Kieran saw Kana off.
Although he was curious about the Rassho Temple incident, he knew what he should do at the moment.
"Is there a place where I can watch the tapes?"
Kieran shook the cowhide bag at Oaker.
"Follow me!"
…
Kieran followed Oaker, leaving the commercial street that was under curfew, brushing past fire trucks and police cruisers as they arrived at the station.
Kieran was stunned when he saw Oaker enter the station.
"Don't tell me you want me to watch this in the station?"
Kieran asked.
"Do you think I will bring a troublesome person like you home?
I'm not deaf … I heard what Kana said just now clearly! "
Oaker said in an annoyed tone.
Though, Oaker didn't bring Kieran into the main building of the station, instead, he brought him to a two-storey building at the back.
"This place used to be the forensics department but after the new building was built, it became an empty storehouse … Hmm, I hope the video recorder is still working!"
Oaker said as he pushed the door open and walked in. He was fiddling with an old video recorder and TV.
After slightly wiping off the dust, connecting the electricity and checking it, Oaker took the cowhide bag and placed the tapes inside.
Sha Sha!
Snowflakes were flickering on the TV screen.
Two seconds later, a screenshot was taken.
This was a picture taken from above.
A huge metal door as tall as a man took up most of the screen and a figure appeared. Because of the angle, the screen captured the figure's face.
Kieran frowned.
He looked at 'himself' who appeared on the screen, took out the key, opened the metal door, and walked in. About a few seconds later, he reappeared with a portrait that was half the height of a person.
In the end, he disappeared from the screen.
"What did you see?"
