"Hunter Raven!"
Mok Jun-Seo had run here as fast as he could. And by his calculation that was more or less ten minutes.
To put it simply:
'He did all these in just ten minutes?'
Mok Jun-Seo was dazed as he turned his head around. The ice was a mess. The blue blood was seeping into the ice, changing its color, it would have been considered a beauty but there was a huge pile of Frost Centipede flesh here and there on the floor, their intestines out in the open.
It could make anyone puke.
Raith soldiers did not only manage to raid the four, but they were also currently skinning it. He hadn't instructed that of them and even he was curious as to why they suddenly started harvesting the hull of centipedes with their weapon.
But he had no complaints. It was very satisfying to watch them struggle and prevail.
"Ah, you are here"
Raith turned to Mok Jun-Seo with his hands in his pockets. Even though blue blood has dried on them, smeared on his suit. He didn't care, which almost made him look psychopathic.
"I think there is a need to investigate this place. There are monsters... there might be a gate break or something, maybe even lots of them."
"Yes but wouldn't we need manpower?"
"What better manpower could we need?"
Raith cocked his head, pointing his hands to the back where his soldiers were.
"Oh..."
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Mok Jun-Seo slightly opened his mouth, understanding what Raith meant.
Just then five soldiers came to Raith with a stone in their hand, offering the stone to him, they bowed.
"Uh? What is this?"
Raith bore down and took one of the stones. There was a rune letter imprinted on the stone.
"Runestone."
Right when Mok Jun-Seo saw it, Raith was also using his appraisal skill on it, so he didn't need to ask 'What is that?'

[Do you want to use Runestone?]
'Not a thing for me. But perhaps he could use it'
Raith lifted his face and threw the runestone to Mok Jun-Seo.
"Huh?"
With a clueless and gaped face, Mok Jun-Seo exchanged a few glances between the stone in his hands and Raith who had thrown it.
"Are you sure? Runestones are extremely prized. Even if you can't use them, you can surely sell them."
Raith shrugged and turned away.
"Just accept them now before I re-think my decision."
He said. He had a very good use for the stone but the skill that it would give seemed to be very useful for Mok Jun-Seo.
'Why not just give it to him, I'm sure he would be suffering from a lot of colds'
That was how he thought. Raith did not know even till this point that he was changing. The Raith from before would have probably preferred to keep it and sell it for the money or at the very least. Use it.
He could gain the skill, delete it and get some nice skill fragments for it.
He looked at the rest.

There were several more. And Raith used all of them.
...then he deleted them.
[You have deleted skill]
[You have gained 1 skill fragment]
[You have deleted skill]
[You have gained 1 skill fragment]
[You have deleted skill]
[You have gained 2 skill fragments]

[You have gained 2 skill fragments]
...
Everything he was able to accumulate after deleting the new skills from the runestone was 9 skill fragments. Incredibly low but he wasn't disappointed, he didn't even know that he could get them in the first place.
But now that the option of runestones from monsters was opening up to him. His hope was getting up.
"Wait, does runestone appear in all monsters?"
Mok Jun-Seo still feeling grateful for the stone he had received quickly replied:
"Not all times but sure."
"Then what about all the monsters I have been killing before now? I didn't get any runestones?"
Raith raised an eyebrow as he inquired.
"Well, that is part of the whole Hunter policy. I guess you didn't read it."
Raith shrugged.
"No, I didn't. I asked Min-Ho to."
"Well, resources gotten from gates belong to the association, so monster corpses, and monster cores all belong to the association in exchange for being paid much more."
"But with the use that can be gotten from the monster carcasses and cores, and the runestones. It seems like you guys can earn much more than what I'm being paid."
Mok Jun-Seo gently tapped Raith.
"I'm glad you didn't read the policy back then. It's impressive that you can point that out real quick."
Raith glared at his hands causing him to quickly remove them. He thought he would miss his hand if it were to stay on Raith's shoulder with the scary glare Raith gave him.
"Are you ready?"
Mok Jun-Seo broke the stone with his beastial strength emitting a violet aura as he drew forth such strength.
After breaking the skill, a blue light enveloped him, it was very brief and almost unnoticeable. With it entered a refreshing feeling.
He got a brief taste of the skill before activating it. And upon activating, that refreshing feeling went deeper into his body. It was definitely still cold but now it became easier to bear.
It was just like the cold weather in Korea. He didn't need to care for anything, except that the cost was high.
Low, but it consumed per second, not that he would know. He didn't have a system.
But even so, his magic energy was being drained.
He looked up in delight at this refreshing feel.
"Yes, Hunter Raven. I am ready. Let's go hunt the monsters."
