Seeing the Red-Eating Great Serpent fall, Eris looked at its corpse and jumped with excitement.
"Yes, I did it!"
"Congratulations!"
Radeus also applauded the three warriors.
"Amazing!"
"So this is Master's party?"
"They're so strong!"
The three stared at Rujierd and the other two in shock.
The three of them had killed the A-rank monster, the Red-Eating Great Serpent, in under thirty seconds, emerging almost completely unscathed.

After escorting the three out of the Petrified Forest, Radeus and his companions headed toward their next destination.
As for the quest reward, Radeus and his companions had no interest in it either, so they left it to Kuruto's trio. In exchange, the three had to do a good job spreading the name of Dead End.
That night, Radeus, Eris, and Rudeus sat together, gazing at the Demon Continent's magnificent starry sky.
Meanwhile, Rujierd was sneaking around doing who knew what.
When Rujierd came over, the three discovered that he had gone bald.
"Huh?"
"What is this supposed to mean?"
"Got a fever?"
All three stared at the bald man in horror.
Why had he suddenly shaved his head? And...
"Hahaha, Rujierd,
