Just as An Ke had suspected, the system offering such generous rewards most likely meant there was a trap.
Not only that, their current situation could well have been far worse than they had anticipated.
The Two-Horned Demon's true body was indeed at the beginner level, and the Demihuman Team was at most intermediate Third Tier. Both of those facts were true.
