……

Saying goodbye to Leon.

While the dungeon was still being repaired, Shaka and Ryu began to tally up their spoils from the battle.

The obvious source of income includes the dragon liver of Amphispina, some of which will likely be kept for Yuuta to consume. The rest can perhaps be used as a trump card summon.

Then there were Zagnat's remains...

Ryu watched as Shaka, basking in the glow of beauty while cradling the dark skeleton, offered a reminder:

"This thing will turn to ashes soon, so there's no point in keeping it."

Xia Jia retorted loudly, "Who said that! It's very useful!"

As he spoke, he picked up a bone fragment and began to chant a spell.

As the starlight twinkled, three claws imbued with destructive power shot out from Shaka's wrist.

"Do you think this looks like Adamantium?"

Shaga waved his arms, easily disintegrating Zagnat's bones.

The black cat came closer: "Are you cosplaying Wolverine?"

"Not bad, you really know your stuff, Night Demon Queen!"

Xia Jia, feeling quite pleased with herself, took out another set of materials and initiated the summoning...

An invisible purple light membrane was melted into Shaga's combat boots.

He chuckled and said, "Although the use of magic wasn't obvious in this battle, these boots have already been able to absorb and store magic. You know Loki's Familia's [Wolf of Ferocity], right? My boots have a similar function. Now..."

Shaga chuckled and said, "I plan to use its materials to make a set of magic reflection armor."

Ryu was greatly shocked: "Logically speaking, after Zagnat dies, the ashes have no magical effects and are useless even as materials, but you can actually preserve this temporary magical property through summoning..."

Xia Jia, hands on her hips, exclaimed, "I'm amazing, aren't I? Praise me, praise me!"

Seeing Shaka like this, Ryu was a little dazed. Alisha used to stand with her hands on her hips and boast to herself like this too.

"You……"

Ryu's eyes curved at the corners and narrowed.

This battle made her understand many things.

With Jalal dead and Zagnat defeated, the old grudges have been resolved, and in the future, Alisha may be able to return to his side again.

There's no need to dwell on the past anymore.

She now has only one wish...

"Hurry up and get stronger, Captain..." Ryu gently pulled on Shaka's cheek and urged.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch... You have no respect for me, the leader! Ouch! Black, Black Cat, help! You, you've committed a grave offense, I'm going to punish you by sending you to the Cold Palace!"

The black cat made a face: "Ptooey, ba~ ah~ ga!"

……

The group spent six hours returning to Rivera with the remaining artillery and electromagnetic cannons.

After Burse lifted the ban, they returned to the anchorage in the family cemetery.

Looking at the resurrected players, Shaga smiled with satisfaction:

"Great job, everyone did a great job this time. I will reward you with plenty of contribution points based on your performance."

Many of the players who sacrificed themselves suddenly smiled.

Kitagawa raised his hand high: "Ada! Commander, I want to buy Albert's combat suit!"

Saori brazenly declared, "I want a custom-made transformation belt!"

Yuta, on the other hand, was much more conservative: "Can you make a Mauser? I want to build a Mauser rifle! Greatswords and firearms are a man's romance!"

"You should just stick to being the Dark Flame Master, Togashi-kun."

Tu Shou opened the screen recording function of [ST] and played back the previously recorded screen:

"The Dark Flame Envoy... has descended to earth in avatar!"

Yuta's excited expression froze on his face, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Dekomori patted Yuuta on the shoulder with a serious expression: "Well done, Dark Flame Master!"

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh—" He grabbed Dekomori's shoulders and began to shake him violently!

"Delete it! Delete it!!!"

Dekomori easily broke free from Yuta's grasp and immediately hugged Shaka's waist: "Old Shaka, my warhammer is broken! This counts as a work injury! You must reimburse me for the death!"

"Hi hi..."

Shaka pushed Tokomori's head away.

"I'm bringing Thunder this time, and I want the Demon Sword!"

“I can’t do it…” Xia Jia closed his eyes and shrugged.

"Eh~~~" Dekomori started to whine, "I want it, I want death!"

Shaga opened one eye: "So, do you want the magic sword, or a spatial magic spell that can be summoned at will?"

In fact, after acquiring the gold, Shaga was already able to imbue a certain item with summoning magic.

Simple retrieval and withdrawal can both be summoned in a special way.

Dekomori was stunned upon hearing this news. Her face immediately lit up with excitement: "It's that kind of thing where, with a swish, you grab it, and the weapon just appears in your hand!"

Xia Jia nodded.

"I want that death! Make it for me, make it for me!" Dekomori's eyes were shining with stars as he frantically pressed his forehead against Shaka's stomach.

Yuki also came over, took out her already dulled sword, and said, "Kaga, it's time for our weapons to be upgraded."

"yes……"

In this battle, Shaga also discovered a significant problem: the young players' combat skills, courage, and coordination of magical abilities were all quite good. However, while increasing monster-killing levels and improving leveling efficiency were important...

The quality of weapons has dropped drastically, often resulting in them being used poorly and damaged frequently.

Although Cecil produces weapons that are all high-quality white-grade items that exceed the current level.

Even so, the rate of consumption is extremely high.

Shaga was immediately troubled...

"To meet the combat requirements of the first tier, at least second-tier adventurer weaponry is needed. That's expensive..."

Xia Jia sighed: "I can only ask the Dark Faction to work hard and make more money so that I can get rich."

Chapter 240 Let's fight Goliath to liven things up

Shaga is very short of money, extremely short of money.

Although he had hoarded a lot of precious materials, it was clearly unwise to exchange them for money. As a semi-producer, he could use those precious materials to create more powerful equipment and items, and use them to enhance his strength.

"Hmm, constantly exploiting the dark faction seems a bit unreliable. But if we don't let those guys work and expend their useless energy, and they just think about self-destruction and causing trouble all day long, wouldn't that be even worse? Ah, I'm redeeming them."

However, constantly exploiting man-made mazes is not a good thing. They are wonders, and after the Daedalus family was wiped out, no one was willing to repair them anymore. Preserving some of them is a treasure of the world.

and so……

"After removing the parts that have already collapsed, let's leave it for now. However, we still need to take the gate made of the hardest metal. Find an opportunity to visit Hephaestus and ask him how to smelt Orhagan."

Xia Jia sat cross-legged on the ground, thinking silently.

He looked at Ryu: "Tell me, what method can we use to quickly earn Fali?"

Ryu shook her head: "Unless it's an expedition like this one, where valuable loot is sold, I... I can't think of anything else."

Ryu herself still owes Mia's mother a large sum of money, so relying on her is probably not an option.

"I'm sorry, I'm really useless as a senior."

"It's alright, it's just that our clan is too special, we're short of money."

Shaga knew very well that in a typical clan group, adventurers could mostly be self-sufficient, slowly earning mana to improve their abilities and upgrade their equipment.

However, their natural disasters are different. They have no fear of the dungeons, which allows them to fight battles that are several levels higher than themselves. They also frequently engage in battles against lords four or five levels higher than themselves. While this accelerates their ability improvement, the rate at which their wealth is consumed is also astonishing.

Don't be fooled by how satisfying a single shot from a railgun is; it burns through a lot of energy—at least several million falies.

With most of the precious materials being used to craft equipment, internal conflicts became increasingly severe.

After much thought, if he didn't want to sell precious super-hard metals, then the only other option was Dix's monster business.

“I’m thinking of having the summoned creatures disguise themselves as heretics, intercept Dix’s caravan, and then trade with merchants from other places under the guise of the Ikelos Familia. This way, they can make money, intercept the captured heretics, find out who the buyers are, trigger several trust crises, and directly cut off the supply chain.”

Liu frowned: "Wouldn't that be a little too bad?"

Leila chuckled, "Your idea is so wicked, I love it. Leon, you're too conservative. We're fighting bad guys, making full use of the technology we've learned from them to fight back is the only justice."

Shaga scratched his head:
