Sara immediately engaged towards the other Ghouls and Allen flew directly to the Ghoul King. It was, after all, none other than his goal in this place.
Allen once again beat up the Ghoul King until it couldn’t finally recognize north and south. But when Allen tried [ Undead Servant ], the skills that can turn Undead his servant,
Ding! [ The Ghoul King can’t be taken! ]
[ As the original Ghoul King’s manifestation has been taken, you won’t be able to take the Ghoul King! ]
It seems like, every Dungeon’s Boss monster has manifestation that can be taken/tamed by anyone. However, if it was killed or taken by someone, the Dungeon will generate another Boss Monster similar to the first one but this time, as monster generated by the Dungeon can’t be separated from the Dungeon.
This seems to also be the same with other monsters inside the Dungeon since Allen tried robbing some Ghouls and undead monsters but it failed and can’t be done…
Allen nodded in satisfaction before finally killing the Ghoul King. Well, with this, no other Night Reaper will once again appear in the world. The Night Reaper was after all, in his possession.
Allen touched the [ Status Totem ] to clear the Dungeon, however, other than the 13% Experience Points and 20 Gold Coins, Allen didn’t receive anything again.
As for Sara, she managed to receive two skills:
[ Supernatural Endurance ] – The ability to endure physical stress better than what is naturally possible. ( An upgrade to her Enhanced Endurance ]
[ Primal Fury ] – User can tap into primal, unstoppable rage that allows them to perform in vastly increased capacity, taking and inflicting damage that they wouldn't in their normal state. Can be called [ Berserk/Bestial State ].
And thus, Allen and Sara left the Dungeon with a good load. Well, aside from the 18 Soul Stones he had acquired again, which he really didn’t care about, the other skills and items were extremely useful.

“I will be leaving now,” Allen bowed in front of the Water and Earth Spirit. “Thank you for everything.”
“Are you really going?” The Water Spirit said with a reluctant tone. “You can still stay a bit longer you know…”
“Well, although I don’t really care, however, just like she said, you can still stay…” The Earth Spirit added.
“Nah, I overstayed myself already.” Allen shook his head. “I still have some things I needed to do outside, so I need to go. However, if I have time, I can visit sometimes.”
“You better!” The Water Spirit cried.
“Well, be careful…” At this moment, the wind suddenly gathered in a spiral form and turned into a female silhouette.
“I thought you won’t even bid me goodbye…”
“I can do at least that much…” The Wind Spirit simply replied.
“Take This,” Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a small fireball suddenly shot from somewhere and went directly towards Allen.
Allen caught the fireball and surprisingly, it didn’t burn him nor hurt him. It just floated at the top of his palm.
When Allen looked at the fireball, he suddenly noticed something inside of it. Like a small pixie curling herself asleep.
“This is…?”
“A spirit, a farewell present from me.” A voice answered. But there was no one in the vicinity but Allen knew that this was none other than the Fire Spirit.
If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
Allen’s lips turned into a brilliant smile as he stared at the empty space. “Thank you…”
“No need,” A soft voice lingered. “That spirit is a part of me so, when you needed help, just use it, it will certainly help you. And if you are in danger, we can be notified…”
Ding! [ Title had acquired! [ Friends of the Spirits ]! Your affinity to the Elemental Spirits have increased! ]
Allen felt the warmth from the Fire Spirit’s words and felt gratified. As he was about to respond, suddenly a white light came out from his chest and the [ Infernal Grimalkin ] appeared, standing on his shoulder.
It curiously looked at the Fire Spirit in Allen’s hands and its eyes sparkled. It suddenly opened its mouth, trying to eat it.
“Wait! Don’t let it eat that!” The Fire Spirit hastily materialize, trying to protect the small Fire Spirit from the cruel predator ( Infernal Grimalkin ), well, of course, it was unnecessary after all, Allen wouldn’t let the lazy cat eat it.
Allen’s immediately avoided the cat’s mouth.
“Nyaaah!!” The Infernal Grimalkin issued an aggrieve cry.
“You idiot, you can’t eat it.”
“Nyaaahh?” The useless cat rubbed its head on Allen’s cheek affectionately as if trying to make an appeal.
But, “No means No.”
“Nyaah!” Allen’s adamant refusal angered the lazy cat and angrily clawed Allen’s hair then curled itself on his shoulders and sleep.
“This useless cat.” Allen sighed but he didn’t do anything and just let it be. He turned his head and looked at the Fire Spirit and then to the others and slightly bowed again.
“Thank you very much.”
At the same time, Sara behind him also did the same.
“Go on, and be careful.”

The salty breeze blew from the distant sea and brought the smell of spring with it.
Allen was flying in the sky while carrying Sara in a bridal carry while flapping his black angelic wings. She can actually fly by herself but she was currently tired or probably too lazy to move, so Alle carried her. Beside him was the small Flame Spirit or should it be called Flame Pixie? Hovering around the uncaring lazy cat on Allen’s left shoulder, as if teasing it.
Annoyed, the lazy cat tried to catch it but after almost falling, the scared cat ignored the irritating pixie and sleep.
They were already on their way to Milan, flying while enjoying the view.

By the time Allen and the group found a city, dusk had fallen. Soon, Allen would be meeting Mia and his sister, although he still didn’t know how long until Milan but, it shouldn’t be that far already.
He felt a little thrill of excitement and anticipation as he walked through the street with Sara. Judging from the language the people were using, it seems like they were in Greece or a part of it…
Allen drags Sara who was looking at the surrounding with curious and excited expression to a small restaurant.
As they walked towards the restaurant’s door, he could see groups of nurses in the familiar white uniforms as they probably hurried between the hospital and their nurses’ home. They seem to be a bit busy… well, judging from everyday battling with monsters, I guess they would be.
Allen could also see various soldiers holding their guns and weapons, some even were holding medieval period swords, spears, and shields. And even, several of the equipment’s they had seemed to be of good quality as they glittered under the light and Allen could feel some mana emitting from it.
Not so far away from the restaurant was a group of people, showing their powers; spells, magic, and etc…
Soldiers, warriors, sorcerers or spellcasters…
As expected of a big city, varieties of Superhumans are gathered. The sight was certainly out of this world… it felt as if you were suddenly transported into another world~
Ding! Ding! A metallic chime rang out as Allen and Sara entered the restaurant.
--- ---
The interior of the restaurant was bathed in a pale blue light that seemed to be similar to a Blue Grotto.
Sara excitedly looked around and found the entire place, pleasing.
As Allen had asked the currency, it seems like the city used coins in trading. Outside the city, two Dungeons had actually been discovered. Surprising Allen.
So that was the strange Mana I was feeling the moment I stepped into this land. Allen didn’t think that it was Silver Crystal as the mana was spread not gathered in only one place or area. He had expected that it would be a Magical place or a Dungeon … but to think they were two Dungeons.
… And the two of them were all big Dungeons. As an effect, the dungeon monsters dropped coins and that had become the currency used in the place.
Fortunately, Allen had some coins in his possession – since he had expected for some cities to use gold coins as currency he stored it. Although judging from the coins he had, it can be said that he was a wealthy man inside the city.
In the previous life, the time when Allen began active – of course, that is the moment he became a powerful Superhuman, it was already 1 – 2 years after everything started. There were still some cities’ that used gold coins mined from Dungeons but most of the places at that time had already started farming Monster Cores, and so that had become the common currency. Obviously, Monster Cores were only used for huge transactions…
Currently, he had 27 Gold Coins and 28 Silver Coins in his person and from what he had known he seemed to be a bit… rich~
Most coins dropped by Monsters in the Dungeon were Copper and Silver Coins. Gold Coins are only dropped by powerful monsters, especially Boss Monsters.
This was the currency rate in this place: 100 Copper Coins = 1 Silver Coin, 10 Silver Coins = 1 Gold Coin.
