"Not here!"
"Not here either!"
"Not here either!"
Soon, reports on the search results ca in.
But nowhere was there any trace of Su-ho.
The sa went for Fairy Dragon Gos.
As that tail just wouldn’t turn up, Marloe’s expression crumpled all at once.
"Where the hell did they disappear to...!"
This place was her territory.
Even without scattering the fairies to search, she was continuously sensing for presence.
And yet, whether they shot up into the sky or sank into the ground, the two of them had vanished like ghosts.
"If it weren’t for that bastard’s fairy-power resistance, I’d be watching with the fairy mirror...!"
Gos’s fairy-power resistance was beyond imagination.
It didn’t just have resistance to sorcery that directly hard its body—centered on its own location, a fairly wide radius experienced a fairy-power nullification effect, so observation sorcery like the fairy mirror, or long-range attack sorcery, didn’t work either.
So when fairies fought Gos, they used un-fairy-like physical combat—shooting cold weapons from far away, or dropping rocks from high places.
But sothing like that was never going to work on a huge, tough Gos.
That was why they hid the village’s location, layered multiple high-level formulas over each other, and lived by avoiding Gos.
Marloe shouted.
"Keep searching! No matter what happens, you have to find him! Gos’s corpse is an extrely important asset to us!"
"Yes, understood!"
The fairies continued their search.
*
anwhile, after entering the Subspace House, Su-ho watched the fairies’ movents through the Subspace House window, like it was a fairy mirror.
"I knew it."
Marloe appearing the mont Gos died.
And the fairies running around trying to find him like their lives depended on it—Su-ho clicked his tongue as he watched.
"Just like I thought. This bastard’s corpse was a key point."
If that was the case, then there was no way he was handing it over for free.
He didn’t know how they planned to research Gos’s corpse, but as for ways to chew it up, tear it apart, taste it, and enjoy it—
He had plenty.
First, Su-ho placed a hand on Gos’s corpse and used Bloodsucking.
[ Bloody Hand is activated. ]
[ You can copy an ability the target possesses. ]
Chew it up, tear it apart, taste it, and enjoy it—thod number one.
That was the use of Bloody Hand.
The mont Bloody Hand activated, countless abilities he could copy from Gos surfaced before Su-ho’s eyes.
'If its high fairy-power resistance is based on a skill rather than a bodily trait...?'
That would be insane.
Because that would an that just by copying a single skill, he could nullify 100% of all fairy sorcery.
With eyes full of anticipation, Su-ho scanned down the skill list.
But—
'...There isn’t one?'
There wasn’t.
No matter how he looked, there was no skill related to fairy-power resistance.
Not even one.
'Tch... so this kind of free win doesn’t happen after all, huh.'
Still, it felt like a waste to close it like this, so he picked one ability and copied it. Thankfully, he still had so spare slots left.
'Then next....'
Su-ho’s eyes glead.
At the sa ti, he pulled a new “weapon” from his inventory.
Strictly speaking, it wasn’t a weapon.
It was a tool.
The Great Night Watcher’s Unsealed Hamr.
For the first ti in a while, Su-ho checked the hamr’s information.
[ Great Night Watcher’s Unsealed Hamr ]
Rank: S
# A brilliant legacy bestowed only upon the successor the Great Night Watcher cherishes most.
# To unseal the hamr’s third seal, one thousand strikes are required.
# With the first seal released, the ability “Square Harvesting,” which collects a part of the target into a neat shape, and the “Socket” function, which allows mounting collected fragnts, have been activated.
# With ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) the second seal released, the ability “Square Riveting,” which crafts by overlapping material with material, has been activated.
# Socket 1 - Obsession Fragnt (S) of the Suppressing Chain Coffin.
# Socket 2 - Obsession Fragnt (S) of the Suppressing Chain Coffin.
An unsealed hamr with both the first and second seals released.
With this and Night Watcher’s Eye, even if the target was a monster corpse, he could harvest materials.
Su-ho imdiately opened Night Watcher’s Eye.
[ Night Watcher’s Eye is activated. ]
Normally, Night Watcher’s Eye showed the enemy’s weak points.
But now, it displayed its original usefulness, beginning to show the grid-patterned squares where materials could be harvested from Gos’s dead corpse.
Among them, squares that could be harvested were red squares filled in with red.
Of course, not every square on the corpse was filled in red.
That had been the case with the Slting Dragon too, and it was the sa this ti.
But more places than he expected were filled in red.
With a satisfied expression, Su-ho said,
"Wow. This one’s almost like a cow or a pig—there’s barely anything to throw away."
Horns, head, back, chest, belly, legs, tail... everywhere that looked like it could yield materials was red as far as the eye could see.
Of course, the place he was most excited about was the chest, without question.
Because among materials you could harvest from a reptile monster, the most promising was always the chest area where sothing like a Dragon Heart would probably be.
'But I’m not rushing this ti.'
Su-ho decided to harvest slowly, starting from the head.
He’d already killed Gos, and the ones in a hurry were over there, not him.
'Ti is on my side.'
Su-ho imdiately started hamring.
[ Square Harvesting is activated. ]
KANG KANG KANG! KANG!
[ You have obtained Fairy Dragon Gos’s Horn Fragnt (S). ]
Heh.
Seeing the first yield, the corners of Su-ho’s mouth shot up endlessly.
Su-ho started hamring again.
[ Square Harvesting is activated. ]

"I’m sorry...."
"I’m sorry. We couldn’t find him...."
"I’m sorry, Your Majesty...."
The fairies lowered their heads.
Quite a bit of ti had passed.
Even so, they couldn’t find Su-ho or Gos.
"It’s... fine. This isn’t your fault."
Marloe encouraged them.
She was a racist soaked in a vicious supremacist mindset, but to her own fairies, she was an incomparably kind and warm existence.
Still... where did that bastard disappear to?
This was the Fairy Kingdom.
No matter how much of a Player you were, you couldn’t enter carelessly without eting special conditions.
On top of that, unless she permitted it, leaving was also impossible.
Because this place was a very special place provided by the system itself.
So she knew everything and carried out her duties, like an NPC inside a ga.
That was why she couldn’t understand it even more.
She could guarantee it—no existence should be greater than the system.
And yet a re Player like him had hidden his presence and vanished as if it were nothing.
That was when—
Jiiiiing!
A huge wormhole.
Was it a spring gate?
No.
What she mistook for a spring gate in that instant was actually the Subspace House.
At the appearance of an unfamiliar, alien existence they had never seen before, all the fairies, including Marloe, tensed sharply.
And then the one who erged from within was none other than Su-ho.
"Looks like you were all out here to welco , huh?"
Su-ho greeted them with shaless ease.
And the first one to burst into rage at the sight of him was the Defense Captain.
"You bastard! Where the hell did you disappear to?!"
"Why are you suddenly getting mad? I had sothing to do, so I took a quick trip to my hideout. So what?"
"What did you say?!"
"Enough!"
The one who stopped the Defense Captain’s rage was Marloe.
She fluttered her wings and floated up to match Su-ho’s eye level.
Then, suppressing her anger as much as she could, she asked,
"You’ve got an interesting trick, don’t you?"
"I’m kind of a big deal."
"Enough. So what happened to Gos?"
"You can feel it, can’t you? I killed it exactly like you demanded. But it was easier than I expected—no, so easy it was almost anticlimactic."
"What?"
"I’m serious. I just grabbed its tail and piledrove it into the ground, and it started shaking and went down. So at first I thought you were lying to . Like you packaged so pathetic thing as a ‘disaster’ because you were trying to be considerate and go easy on ."
"What the...! Gos went down to an attack that trivial?! And why would I ever go easy on the likes of you?! That will never happen, even if I die!"
"Right? That’s what I figured. If this expression is acting, your acting is way too good."
"You filthy, lowly mongrel...! Enough! Show proof! If you killed Gos, you should have its corpse!"
"Ah, that? I was going to show you anyway."
Keeping that shaless expression, Su-ho reached a hand into the Subspace House.
Then, when he pulled on Gos’s tail, Gos’s corpse appeared.
When Su-ho dragged the dead corpse out and tossed it in front of the fairies, their eyes widened as big as plates.
"G-Gos...!"
"It’s Gos! It’s Gos!"
"My god, it really is Gos...!"
"That Gos died this easily...!"
All kinds of hot reactions.
It couldn’t be helped.
Considering how the protection fairies had suffered under Gos all this ti, the corpse in front of their eyes was sothing they could hardly believe even while looking right at it.
Su-ho grinned and asked Marloe,
"Well?"
"How in the world...!"
Marloe couldn’t easily close her mouth either.
Of course, the mont Gos died, she sensed Gos’s presence vanish and ca through the spring gate.
But sensing it and seeing it with her own eyes were two completely different things.
"..."
Marloe clamped her lips shut as she stared at Gos’s corpse.
She’d half expected it, but she never imagined he would really kill Gos.
She knew he was a Player with outstanding stats and fairy blood—of Queen Family lineage, no less—but still... she never thought his power would be to this extent.
So rather than gratitude, a strangely resentful feeling was stronger.
She jerked her chin at the fairies.
"Move it to the village."
"Yes, understood!"
At the Queen’s order, the fairies sward over Gos’s corpse like ants.
Su-ho didn’t stop them.
Instead, with a faint, knowing look, he shifted his gaze back to Marloe and said,
"All right. Then are you going to keep your promise now?"
"Hmph. Fine."
The mont her answer fell—
[ Fairy Queen Marloe fully recognizes you. ]
[ Fairy Queen Marloe bestows upon you a portion of the Queen Family’s power. ]
[ All unlock conditions for Fairy Blood’s second authority have been fulfilled. ]
[ ① Reach level 300. ]
[ ② Recognition of ???. ]
[ Fairy Blood’s second authority is unlocked. ]
[ “Fairy Form” has been opened. ]
[ You have mastered “Fairy Sense” (S) from “Fairy Form.” ]
[ Due to the effect of “Fairy Form,” information for so skills is altered. ]
[ All conditions have been fulfilled. ]
System notifications poured down in a stream.
At last, he’d unlocked Fairy Blood’s second authority.
At the sa ti, he’d finally unlocked all bloodline conditions and could wrap up the trait quest.
'But I’ll check that later.'
That wasn’t what mattered right now.
Su-ho smiled and said,
"All right. Recognition is enough... so how about you accept the next promise now?"
"The next promise?"
"Oh, co on. Are you really going to pretend you don’t know? I told you. If I catch Gos and bring it back, you apologize for calling a mongrel, and from now on you recognize as a fairy the sa as you."
"An apology and recognition...."
Marloe narrowed her eyes and said,
"What if I don’t want to?"
"If you don’t want to, you die."
Su-ho imdiately summoned the Blood Sword.
