An Extra’s POV

"So… I was thinking…"

Rey was currently surrounded by Monkey Monsters, yet the way he was conversing felt like he was pitching an idea to humans like himself.

An excuse he gave himself was that he was simply doing this out of boredom, but Rey failed to consider the possibility that maybe… just maybe he was going insane.

"… Instead of picking up your Cores after killing you, couldn't I just bring a few Hobgoblins with me to do the job?"

"GRRRRRRRRRR!!!"

In response to their loud growls, Rey swiftly raised his hands, as if trying to pacify them and further argue his point.

"Now hold on… hear me out! They'll just be a few. Maybe even one who's very intelligent and quick on their feet."

The rationale behind this was simple.

While Rey was busy exterminating these creatures, the Hobgoblin would be busy harvesting the Cores.

A win-win!

… Well, except for the Monsters being slain.

"ROOOOAAAARRRRR!!!"

The group of Monkey Monsters—about five of them—leaped from their respective positions at the same time, all of them desiring to get a taste of his flesh.

Rey couldn't help but sigh.

"[Blindness]."

The moment he said this, darkness shrouded the bright eyes of the Monkey Monsters.

With their sight—the primary sensory organ they had—gone, they couldn't clearly accurately locate him.

However, since they already had a decent idea of his position, they did not falter.

Hesitation was not allowed in the Dungeon, and as apex predators, these beasts were fine examples of the primal laws.

Unfortunately for them, Rey wasn't quite finished.

"[False Pain]."

The moment he snapped his fingers, every single one of them collapsed on the ground, groaning in sheer agony.

"G-GURAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
