n'As expected, my Agility went up.'

nAfter the fight, his Agility went up by 1.

nThe more he pushed himself towards the boundary between life and death, the faster his stats will rise.

n

"Crush these herbs and rub them on your wounds. We leave in 5 minutes.

"

nHe took out some herbs from his storage bag and distributed a small portion to everyone.

n*

nAfter following several leads, they arrived at the Gnoll's den.

nHe had received a Satan's quest as popularly known to massacre the Gnoll tribe that reside here

nIt was a huge cave.

nClomp.

nThe sound of their footsteps echoed out.

nThere was no way to figure out how deep the cave was.

n

"Raise your torches and step lightly. I will lead. Steve, you bring up the back.

"

n

"Wouldn't it be better if I was at the front?

"

n

"Don't question my orders.

"

n

"... Okay.

"

nNo matter what, they had to return by midnight.

nThere was no time for him to explain every detail.

nAfter arranging everyone in a line, he headed into the cave.

nNot long after, they were able to hear the cries of the Gnolls.

nWhen he shed the torchlight around him, they were able to see approximately 300 mindless Gnolls scattered around every corner.

n

"Huuk!

"

n

"Gasp!

"

nThe two sides engaged in a tooth and nail battle.

nThis is how began the massacre of the Gnolls.

n*

nFrom the floor to the ceiling, it seemed to be 50 meters tall and there was a multitude of holes on the walls.

n'These are the tunnels the Gnolls use to move around.'

nThis was the center where all the tunnels led to.

n

"A shrine?

"

nBill softly spoke out.

nHis eyes fell on a certain place.

nAt the end of the cavern, there was a shrine.

nThere was a hexagram drawn in the center and statues of a goddess were spread out around it.

nAlthough it looked old and rusted, everyone was captivated by its magnificence.

n'A shrine with the statue of Cerebus huh.'

nCerberus.

nA race that is only mentioned in the folk tales. It is a three-headed beast all of its head being that of a dog. It is mentioned as the ferocious dog that guards the gate to hell.

nHowever even after humans were summoned to hell never in their existence had they met a creature that resembles a Cerberus.

nIt had remained a creature that resembled the only folklore.

n'What do I do.'

nKlautz motionlessly stared at the shrine.

nThe place strangely resembles some of the trial grounds he had seen back in hellfeim.

n

"Could it be..??

"

nif this was a trial then it would be a newfound treasure. No one in hellfeim knows about its existence yet and so will be the case in the future.

nThere would be treasures in every place such trial grounds were.

nFor example, on one of the trial grounds, a book was discovered.

nMagicians who have read the Book of Amon gained 10 years' worth of training from simply reading the book.

nThose who rigorously studied the book became Grand Magicians... The owner of the book's class was changed to the secret class 'Arch Mage' and constructed the Tower of Wisdom which allowed him to confidently place in the top 10 among humans.

nOf course, he expected that this place would be as risky as the retrieval of the Book of Amon, where more than 500 people lost their lives...

n'There is only one chance.'

nIf he fails, that was it.

nAfter a month, they will be summoned to hellfeim.

nOnce they arrive in Hellfeim, they will not be able to return to the beginner's area. Also, there was no guarantee that they would be able to come back to the shrine within a month.

nHe was at a crossroad.

nIf they were successful in investigating the shrine, Klautz will have an unbelievable advantage over others. On the other hand, if he failed, he will die.

n

"We will go inside.

"

nHe made his decision.

nHellfeim was a place where nothing could be gained without risk.

nThe rewards were too tempting to just let this opportunity pass by.

nSkill description

nName: Gnoll's cry

nEffect: All Gnolls within a 10-meter radius will be stunned for a duration dependent on the rank of the skill.

n*

nRumble!

nAs soon as they stepped into the shrine, the ground below them shook and words appeared in front of their eyes.

n

n

n

n

n

n

nThat was all that Klautz could read after which he fainted.

nHowever, a sharp pain ran through the head of the others while they remained conscious.

n

nKlautz's status screen:
