Player Who Returned 10,000 Years Later - Chapter 40 - Player Who Returned 10,000 Years Later Oku

‘There’s no need to get a collar for a dog that doesn’t bite its owner.’

Kang Yu was determined.

— I’ll help you, so do your best to develop yourself, Si Hoon, — Kang Yu said with a big smile while watching him get on the bus.

If everything goes according to plan and Si Hoon keeps improving, he’ll become a lot stronger than Pallock.

Since his Man Ma Jung is still sealed and Kang Yu has to find and fight the Devil’s Teacher, Si Hoon would play a very important role.

It was especially important for him to keep hunting at the gate with Han Sol and Dae Su and protect them with his strong character and skills.

‘I don’t know when there will be another creature from Hell at the gate.’

Kang Yu couldn’t go hunting at a low-level gate everyday and keep an eye on his teammates, so it’s very convenient that Si Hoon has appeared, who can replace Kang Yu in protecting them at the gate.

‘Also, by protecting his teammates, he will develop his skills much more quickly.’

Not to mention, now that Si Hoon was subordinate to Kang Yu, he’d be able to borrow some of his master’s strength.

That means that the spirit of Musin who lives in Si Hoon will also be strengthened by Kang Yu’s strength.

He would definitely develop faster than anyone else.

‘Here it is, the need for mutual help between comrades.’ Kang Yu smiled and nodded.

He felt no remorse for what he had done to his subordinate by force.

He’s spent too much time in Hell to feel remorse for something liek that.

‘I alone must reap the benefits from Si Hoon’s power.’ Kang Yu licked his lips and smiled a little.

Anyone would take advantage of this opportunity.

It was how he learned to survive in Hell.

‘It’s time to go home.’

Since the Power of Subordination required a lot of Magi, Kang Yu was completely exhausted.

‘I wonder if Han Sol had dinner already.’

To celebrate Kang Yu’s successful subordination of Si Hoon, Kang Yu decided to stop by a shop for something delicious. He took out his phone to figure out where to go.

— Huh? — As soon as he took the phone out of his pocket, a melody played. Someone was calling.

Kang Yu looked at the caller’s name that flashed across the screen.

It was none other than Cho Dok Hyun.

The leader of the Andras Guild, who Kang Yu had asked to find out more about the Devil’s Teacher.

— What is it?

— I’m calling because I have some information.

— Information?

— Yes, that’s right.

— What did you learn about the Devil’s Teachers?

— I’m… I’m not too sure about it.

— Tell me. — Kang Yu gazed into the distance as he got ready to listen.

— We found traces of Magi in some footprints.

— Footprints?

— Yes. But… those footprints couldn’t have been left by a human being.

— You’re saying they weren’t human?

— Yes. It looks more like some kind of animal’s paw prints.

Listened to Dok Hyun, Kang Yu rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Traces left by a monster that were imbued with Magi.

It was easy to guess what kind of beast it was.

‘A Hellhound Guard?’

A creature that was called a splinter of the rift, here.

First the Hellhound, then the Demonic Wolf, and now, possibly, yet another creature.

— Where did you find these tracks?

— At the B-level gate of the state council.

— A level B gate… — The corner of his lips twitched.

‘In that case, there’s a good chance the Hellhound wasn’t the most powerful monster to come from Hell.’

He’d already seen a Level C splinter in the Level C Gate and a Level D splinter in the Level D Gate. It was very likely that this monster is even stronger.

‘Stronger than the Hellhound… It’s likely to be a monster from the Second Thousandth Circle of Hell.’ Like a hunter who was getting close to his prey, Kang Yu licked his lips with anticipation.

‘When the Hellhound was killed, I leveled up by five units.’ Kang Yu was quite certain of something. He was certain that he would get a lot more points for killing a rift splinter than for killing a Gate boss.

This time, if there was a monster from the Second Thousandth Circle of Hell, he would get even more points than for killing a regular monster at level B, and much more points than killing a Gate boss.

— That’s…

Kang Yu opened the status window to check his level.

After killing the Demonic Wolf today, his level went up to 35.

If he were an ordinary Player, he would have had to hunt for a month or two everyday to go up by 5 levels.

However, ordinary logic and limits couldn’t be applied to Kang Yu in any way.

‘I think I’ll get Rank 5 much faster than planned.’ His lips curled into a smile when he thought about all the points he would get for killing off creatures from Hell.
