“I want to go, too.”

"It's dangerous, do you want to help?"

"Of course, mate."

The rock bear stood up on two legs and roared threateningly. Ye Kai quickly put on the multi-functional gauntlet and rushed forward to strike.

When his attention turned to Ye Kai, Cham went around to the side and slashed, the sword bounced off with a sound of cutting rocks. He launched two and three attacks in succession, but it was completely useless.

“Back off!”

"Give me time. I'll work the magic in."

Once he realized it wasn't working, Cham immediately changed his tactics.

"Use the cold one. This doesn't work very well either."

He took a few steps back and fired a beam laser, but it only melted the surface of the rock armor. Sensing the momentum of the charge, he used wind attacks to defeat the opponent's offensive. Then he continued to attack with his fists, and the sound of hitting the flesh was completely different, making a dull sound.

Ye Kai dodged the incoming attacks and counterattacked, but there were few effective strikes. It was probably just small damage accumulating.

"Get out of the way!"

When Ye Kai rolled to the side to avoid it, the light text in the air dissolved and disappeared, and the cold storm containing hail directly hit the rock bear. However, the rock bear shook its body for a while, and the frost and snow fell, and then it showed its teeth again.

"Too bad that didn't work!" Cham screamed, but the result was the same, the bear's movements just slowed down a little.

"You take a rest first, I'll try to weaken it." Ye Kai took a breath, then released a faster-paced combo, and the Rock Bear stopped.

The rock bear was not to be outdone, and swung down with its front legs, which were full of power, but were blocked by its crossed arms. If it continued like this, the other front leg would follow, but he held his breath and then hit the bear's chest with a spinning kick.

The rock bear was forced to retreat.

"How amazing is it that he was not overwhelmed by the power!"

Cham was indeed surprised by this. After a period of alternating between offense and defense, the rock bear's movements became noticeably clumsy. Sometimes, it even used its front legs to defend itself.

Just then, Ye Kai glanced at Cham.

When Cham was ready, the rock bear rushed over as if to cover her, and she confronted it head-on, hands clasped. The rock bear didn't like the confrontation of strength, and opened its mouth wide to try to bite her.

“Cham!”

At that moment, Ye Kai knelt down, and Cham rushed over instinctively.

Stepping on the young man's back and shoulders, he thrust the sword into the rock bear's open mouth with all his strength. After the tip of the sword felt like it was shattering bones, it went in smoothly. Then, the rock bear trembled and stopped moving. The sword had reached its brain.

"…Did it work?" Cham savored the joy of victory as the Rock Bear slowly fell on his back with a heavy sound.

----------------

There was a sudden cheer from the caravan, followed by a series of footsteps.

The adventurers praised him, but Cham, whose tension was suddenly relieved, was dejected and could only give a stiff smile. The carriage approached, and Tanya ran over. Seeing Cham's appearance, she put her hand on Cham's shoulder and asked, "Are you okay?"

Cham managed to recover a bit, "Just a little tired." She replied, looking towards the body of the rock bear, where Ye Kai was examining it. When Ye Kai noticed Cham, he shouted and threw a part that proved the kill - the ear.

"What are you doing?"

When Cham further asked Ye Kai who was touching the corpse, the answer he got was "treasure hunting".

"Treasure hunting?" Cham, Tanya, and Ollie who arrived later, asked in unison.

"The rock bear, you know, uses magic to fuse rock into its armor, but it also likes to find ore to make its rock armor."

Ye Kai patted the rock bear's body and continued, "In this way, sometimes you can accumulate some good things, if you are lucky."

He reached out to explore again, whispering, "Is there any hope this time?" As he felt the magic power increase, the rock on the chest that his hand touched suddenly emerged.

The rock seemed to be disintegrating on the outside, slowly shedding small pebbles, revealing a rough, translucent object about the size of a baby's head.

"This is it! A rough gemstone!" Ollie's surprise spread all around immediately. "This is a great discovery. Did you find it in a cave?"

“It could be, but whether it’s valuable is a question.”

Ollie took the rough stone, turned it over and over, and said that he could not fully evaluate it.

"That's a problem. Because it belongs to Mr. Ollie."

"How is that possible! That's not true. You were the ones who defeated the Rock Bear, weren't you?"

“But we are on a mission now. According to the contract, the parts that prove the defeat of the monster can be kept by the individual, but the other found items belong to the caravan leader Ollie. So that is Mr. Ollie’s property.”

"Hey, this is too..."

Faced with the sudden situation, Oli became unable to cope and began to equivocate. But Ye Kai seemed to be adding a blow: “We still have enough time to go to Holmut. Please think carefully.”

"But..." Ollie was visibly confused.

"I'll keep it for now. But I'm not ready to claim it as my property."

“Though I don’t think it’ll cause you any trouble.”

(Ah, it's troublesome to force me to accept it like this.)

Chaim thought, but didn't say it out loud.
