Hero of Darkness

Chapter 46: The Rising Star

The adventurer association main hall was currently filled with loud gasps and whispers. None believing what was in front of them.

"Impossible!" shouted Malcolm in denial as never in his wildest dream did he imagine someone like Kahn being able to kill 6 giant minotaurs. Even a group of 30 won't be able to take them out together in a fight.

"Do we have a deal?" asked Kahn as if he was in a hurry.

"Wait.. I don't think we have enough. I'll have to talk with the president. Stay here!" said Malcolm and ran upstairs hurriedly.

Kahn already expected this type of reaction from the middle-aged receptionist because as per his knowledge, Minotaurs were one of the most sought-after monsters in any place because of various uses and rarity of the materials one could salvage from the dead bodies.

Their blood was actually a very important ingredient in high-grade health recovery potions and various alchemy recipes. Their hide and fur were used in making light and highly durable armors and clothing, especially fancied by the truly rich people. Their horns could be used to make rare quality weapons such as sabers and daggers while the bone marrow was used in high quality medicines used to cure impotence or reinvigorate someone's little friend. And many rich people liked to boast a head of a minotaur hung in their mansions.

Each body was no different than a small fortune. But because Minotaurs always traveled in groups and appeared on high level dungeon floors, not many actually tried to hunt them.. Mainly if they were desperate for money or had a death wish.

Even a Grandmaster Rank fighter wouldn't casually pick a bone with them.

Hence they were extremely hard to come by and demand was high no matter where one tried to buy them. But to get six bodies at once.. Even something as big as Adventurer Association which had nearly a couple of thousand people doing transactions on daily basis had to take notice because the profits will be huge if they sold it to the right people from the Noble class or an enterprise.

After half an hour, Malcolm finally returned seeing that Kahn was joyfully talking with other adventurers who were curious about how he managed to kill these minotaurs by himself. But unlike some upstuck and ignorant guy, he was telling them strategies on how to lure out the enemies and how to set up traps and use magic scrolls to create a silence barrier and whatnot.

"Here.. We want all of them." said Malcolm and continued.. "The Vice-president says he's happy with your swordsmanship advancements."

"How much is it?" asked Kahn curiously.

Malcolm came close to Kahn and whispered.

"It's 25 thousand gold coins. That's the best we can offer you. Because it'll be us who will have to spend a lot of time butchering and harvesting the bodies properly." replied Malcolm as he passed a low grade space ring, that held the money inside; similar to the one Kahn bought in the beginning.
