When I Returned to Farming, National-level Big Juniors Flock - Chapter 85



Only Krnovel

85. First achievement

The hunters entered inside the gate.

Although there was one defector, they had neither the time nor the sense to look for him, so they went inside and continued to engage in combat with several more monsters.

As if to show that it wasn’t simply reckless to hastily bring in just anyone to meet the standard number of personnel against the A-rank gate, they fought well and reached the end of the gate.

The location of the nuke that can disable the gate.

However, there was no boss monster in that space.

I searched my surroundings to see if anything was hiding or tricking me, but there was no sign of any living creatures.

“Was there a gate without a boss monster? Damn, what a waste.”

“I’m rather happy. I don’t have to risk my life unnecessarily.”

“What’s useless? How much extra reward do you get for defeating an A-rank boss?”

“Life is more important than pay. Remember, living longer is much more rewarding.”

“Oh my god, shit.”

Jeong Tae-woon shook his head and moved forward.

But Cheombong frowned at the sight beneath his feet.

“What has been going on in the water since a while ago?”

“Don’t worry, there was no poison or anything. It was completely clean water.”

“It’s even stranger that there’s clean water inside a gate like this.”

Jeong Tae-woon looked around with a disgusted expression.

The space is too clean to have been the scene of a fight, and there is no trace of anyone else.

Although I always trust my senses, which never miss a single hint, this time, I felt strangely uneasy.

*

“I did try to take care of it, but… there’s still some blood on it.”

Oh Hyun-seong muttered while looking at the trunk of his car.

The appearance of the monster’s corpse being stuffed in.

It is a truly eerie sight, one that even hunters would be unfamiliar with.

Since monster corpses were useless waste, they were usually disposed of within the gate.

Since the corpses of dead monsters emit toxic gases, it is best to close the gate and destroy them in order to protect the Earth’s environment as much as possible.

However, since there were cases where it was necessary to secure the monster’s corpse while performing some operations, Oh Hyeon-seong was able to do this task with ease.

Thud!

Oh Hyun-seong closed the car’s trunk.

The monster’s corpse continuously emits turbid air.

It wasn’t enough to be a problem for him, but he decided to hurry and move before the trunk became a complete mess.

Of course, I didn’t leave right away because I had to take care of the aftermath of the situation.

I heard some complaints from the hunters who showed up late, thinking that they were the ones who kicked me out first, but I decided to listen to them willingly.

For a first attempt, the results were very satisfactory.

“Sir, I brought it.”

“Indeed, it’s fast.”

The old man nodded as he saw Oh Hyeon-seong carrying the corpse of a large monster.

“Then I will make the relic as promised. In return, I will use the remaining materials.”

“How long will it take?”

“It should take two days. It’s a much simpler task compared to the materials you gave me a few days ago.”

Of course, creating a completely new artifact and improving an already completed weapon took different amounts of effort.

However, the dagger I had been working on a while ago was of much higher quality.

But what Oh Hyun-seong needed was not the artifact’s weight, but its purpose.

There is probably no other artifact with this effect.

It will not be found naturally at the gate, and only Noya can custom-make the artifact.

In that respect, it was fortunate that I met him.

And a day later, Noya contacted him and Oh Hyeon-seong went to see him and received an item.

“What is that?”

Blea said, poking her head out over Hyunseong’s shoulder.

The long, blue-colored artifact that looked like a coffin placed in the living room was really irritating the guy’s nerves.

“There’s something giving off an unpleasant vibe.”

“It’s something you’d be disgusted by.”

Oh Hyun-seong, who was smiling, picked up the relic and went outside.

Then, Blea fell off my shoulder in shock, but she was curious and followed me from behind.

Oh Hyeon-seong headed straight to the fields, and after thinking for a moment, he headed to the potato field among the many fields.

“It seems like the temperature here has dropped a bit.”

“okay.”

Blea nodded at his words.

Then, the guy took a deep breath and breathed his warmth into the field.

If she had been properly irritable and had let out a proper blast, the field would have burned down in an instant, but her breath right now was literally warm.

A warm air enveloped the surroundings, forming a small dome of heat that held the warmth.

It is not simply a temperature setting that prevents potatoes from freezing to death in the winter, but rather an optimal temperature setting that is favorable for the growth of potatoes.

Moreover, Blea’s breath was superior to that of other fire spirits.

Just by breathing life into it, it prevented pests and diseases from occurring at the source, protected the crops, and helped them grow healthily.

“great job.”

He patted Blea’s head.

It was a touch that would normally be received with pleasure, but now there was a somewhat rude note.

“Where did those hot days of battle with you go, and now I’m doing farm work like this?”

“Do you rather miss those days?”

“That’s a given.”

“Why? Because of me, you, a spirit who lives forever, almost died. Even though you love fighting, wouldn’t you want to avoid such a situation?”

“What’s the point of living forever in hiding? After all, we took that queen down together.”

Blea said with great pride.

Even to her, a superior being, she was proud of having defeated the queen, and indeed, the bastard was quite a formidable opponent.

“More than anything, don’t say nonsense like it’s because of you. There is no spirit here who would be afraid of battle because they are afraid of dying.”

Blea said, ticking.

However, Oh Hyeon-seong let out a snicker at the content of the words, which was completely different from his tone.

‘But I guess you had some complaints. Of course, each spirit has a different personality.’

Melts is basically not the type of person to complain.

As expected of an earth spirit, it is gentle and, unlike its rough appearance as a golem, it has a very friendly personality.

He enjoyed living here because he liked playing with not only his own attributes but also the lower spirits of other attributes.

Also, Albert, the upper spirit of water, was very fond of the reservoir in the back mountain.

He spent most of his time there rather than at his home in Hyeonseong, and thanks to this, the reservoir was directly influenced by Albert, and not only was the turbid air cleared, but it also became the cleanest water on Earth.

Blea, on the other hand, has always found great joy in battle.

Oh Hyun-seong, who knew that, put Blea at the forefront of the battles he faced after signing a contract with her.

But that doesn’t seem to be enough.

From the beginning, it would have been a trivial battle by the standards of the upper spirit, Blea.

‘Even if it’s a contractual relationship tied by magic, we should at least take care of her welfare. Should we do something for Blea so that she can be more satisfied with her life here?’

Oh Hyeon-seong was lost in thought for a moment.

If you light a bonfire, you can sit next to it and grumble, but it’s not like that’s the only way to do it, and it seems like that’s not enough.

“… First, eat something.”

Lower your pressure!

When Oh Hyun-seong held out a freshly picked potato, Blea quickly took it and bit into it.

This guy is so delicious that he eats things that aren’t even cooked.

“At first he said he didn’t want to eat it even if he died, but now he’s eating it well.”

“Mom, what should I do with something so delicious?”

Originally, spirits had no need to eat.

They say that in the spirit world, such a thing never existed in the first place.

Because of this, most of them took farming lightly.

Above all, the food on Earth, which was full of synthetic meat due to the influence of the takgi, was terribly tasteless.

But when I actually started eating proper meals using clean ingredients, I couldn’t come to my senses.

The same goes for Blea, the arrogant high spirit.

If you hadn’t eaten at all, you wouldn’t know, but late night wind is scary.

The grumbling guy also quickly calmed down with just one potato.

“Then let’s get to work now.”

“What are you going to do?”

“… This should be enough. Let’s dig here for now.”

Oh Hyeon-seong stopped in one place while walking through the potato field and spoke.

Then Blea started digging the ground with her two front paws.

At the sight of the earth being dug quickly and deeply, Oh Hyeon-seong told her to stop, and when Bulrea stepped aside, he put the blue relic he had brought inside.

The long pipe-like relic disappeared as it went all the way in, and was embedded in the ground with only its head slightly sticking out.

Taaak!

He snapped his fingers and Albert appeared.

Albert and Blea look at each other with eyes that seem to be filled with sadness.

Of course, since he hadn’t called for a fight, Oh Hyun-seong picked Albert up.

The otter’s body, hanging limply, sags.

“Can you breathe some energy into this?”

Oh Hyeon-seong said, pointing to the relic.

Albert, who was playing in the reservoir, followed his instructions silently, even though they came out of nowhere and he didn’t understand them.

Unlike Blea, Albert approached the blue relic without any resistance and felt a sense of familiarity with it, and greatly infused it with magical power.

Woohoo!

Then, the relic began to accept and absorb Albert’s magic power.

Normally, when you pour magical power into a relic, it is only used as a power source to manifest its effects.

However, the current relic was like an empty vessel, completely accepting Albert’s magical power without any changes.

“Okay. That’s enough.”

Oh Hyun-seong lifted Albert up and said.

A look full of magical power, as if it could overflow at any moment.

However, this was far beyond my expectations, and I found out that it had a considerable capacity to store magical power.

‘This is pretty good.’

A capacity that can last at least a week if filled to the brim once.

Even if you give it a generous amount, it was a very large capacity considering that it used an average-level boss monster as material among the A-rank gates.

It was none other than the magical power of the superior spirit, Albert.

This level of efficiency was probably due to Noya’s skills.

Oh Hyeonseong placed his hand on the relic and made some adjustments while pouring his magical power into it.

After entering all the settings, he nodded and took a few steps back.

“Are you done?”

“Maybe. Now, just try it.”

“Test? Can it be controlled remotely?”

“No, I set it to work automatically based on the conditions. It will turn on soon.”

Blea, standing next to Oh Hyeonseong’s legs, looked at the blue relic with curious eyes.

After receiving Albert’s magic, I became even more disgusted, but I wondered why they had planted the relic in the middle of a field like this.

And a few seconds later, she knew the answer.

Choaaaah!

A gushing stream of water filled the sky.

The entire potato field was covered in water droplets, big and small, pouring down with a loud, loud thud.

“Gyaaaah!”

Blea jumped up and down in fright.

Since it wasn’t ordinary water, but rather Albern’s water that was falling from all directions, the guy who was in conflict with him didn’t know what to do and ended up covering himself with it.

For Oh Hyun-seong, who was participating in the first demonstration test, it was an unexpected situation as the firepower was stronger than expected.

Thanks to that, the guy didn’t talk to me for a whole day.

The next day.

Oh Hyeon-seong went out into the field with anticipation, and as expected, he saw a group of sparkling lights.
