Chapter 57: B009 – Escort Quest

Afternoon in Ascension.

Hecate was sitting inside one of the carriage heading to Carmen Town.

After confirming her quest with the client, the merchant Georg, Hecate was told to sit inside one of the carriage, along with other 4 people. And soon later, the convoy departed.

Currently, she was dumbfounded after receiving the complain message from Rena-cchi and friends. It turned out the meat that Hecate gave to Rena-cchi was harmful and caused the hunt to be stopped.

• • "Hecate-cchi, where did you get that meat from?" (Rena-cchi)
  • "Meat? What meat?" (Hecate)
  • "The meat you gave me before! It's been a really bad day, you know?" (Rena-cchi)
  • "Well, I'm also curious about that. What on earth that was just entered our stomach." (Emilia)

As soon as the party receiving that death notice, they spent their 1 hour buff by hunting crazily. And when the time was up, their body started to swell before exploded gruesomely, blooming like a fireworks in the summer.

Fortunately, they used a Life Insurance Scroll before the time limit was up. After they died, they just returned to their Save Point without taking the death penalty, which currently was set at Brynhild Fort.

But, it was too troublesome to travel back to the dungeon so the hunt had to stop.

'Ah...it's a pity.'

Hecate could only regret after watching the video that Emilia had recorded. What she regretted wasn't because of the gruesome death of the 7 Players, but because she wasn't there to directly watch the scenery with her own eyes!

The moment when the flesh of the party members blooms and spurting mixed liquids of blood and pus. Then, slowly turning into particles of light and disappeared...

That kind of scenery must be more spectacular than what can be seen in the video.

Out of curiosity, Rena-cchi visited Rosenheim Mage Association to appraise the meat. In there, she obtained a shocking appraisal result. She then shared the information she got to the group chat.
