Half an hour later, our hands were filled with treasures.

In the end, it wasn't just the normal treasures that were here, there was other loot for us to collect as well.

It was the material collection points that were also available.

So in the end, we were able to gather a bunch of useful materials and a bunch of treasures.

These were all things that could be used in the future since they were considered rare items.

It was just all about finding the right place to use them.

Though no matter what, it was never a loss to have these things.

The thing was how to divide this up right now.

"Just let me hold onto it and I'll give you what you want when the time comes. All you have to do is summon me with the altar and I'll be able to bring you these things." Faust made this suggestion as they were stuck trying to figure this out.

After he said this, all of us looked at him with narrowed eyes as if we didn't trust him.

It wasn't that we couldn't trust him, it was just that we already knew what he was thinking about doing.

The moment that Faust saw that these materials were here, he already had the thought of using them for his experiments.

It wasn't as if it was a bad idea to let Faust experiment with these materials, it was just that there was a limited amount of materials. There was no telling how much Faust would use for those experiments and it was a good idea to keep some of this material around just in case.

In the end, Faust said, "I promise that I'll only use half."

This was how it was when everyone could read each other's mind, it was quite easy to figure out what the problem was and come up with a solution.

After a moment of silence, all of the avatars nodded in agreement to this.

But before handing it over, all of us turned to look at Tempest first before I asked, "Is there anything that you want from this pile?"

He took a moment to look it over before thinking about it.

All of us patiently waited for Tempest to come to a decision since it was only beneficial to us if he actually wanted to eat something. After all, it would allow him to gain a new skill that he would be able to share with all of us.

But in the end, he just shook his head as he said, "It doesn't seem like there's anything drawing in my slime instincts."

Since that was the case, we just handed all of these things over to Faust to manage.

Those slime instincts were what drew him to most of the things that he ate. Tempest no longer ate everything that he found since there were things that were duplicates.

So that was why he only ate things that his instincts drew him to, telling him that there would be something to gain from eating these things. If his instincts didn't tell him anything, then it would just be wasteful for him to eat this.

Though there was one thing that we didn't like seeing.

It was the smile that was on Faust's face.

The way that he smiled, it really seemed like he was some kind of villain that was planning on embezzling everything that was here. It really made us want to take the materials away from him.

But in the end, we had already agreed to give it to him and it was already too late for us to take this back.

After all, he was already starting to disappear.

This wasn't on purpose, it was just that we had been too focused on clearing this place out that we had forgotten about the time limit that the altars had. Or it was better to say that we had forgotten about the mana limit of the altars.

They could only keep the one that was summoned here as long as there was mana supplied and the mana stones we used were tapped out.

So it wasn't just Faust that started to disappear, it was also the rest of the avatars that were also disappearing.

When it was over, it was just Aragon and I that were standing here in this dungeon.

"Let's seal it up and find something else to hand over to the Kite Kingdom."

Aragon just nodded in agreement.

We had to find something to replace the impure blood red dragon since we had already taken everything of value from it. If we didn't have anything, then it was only natural that they would get suspicious and start to question the hero.

So a scapegoat was necessary.

…

"This is the dragon?" Everyone asked in a doubtful voice when they saw what we brought back.

This wasn't surprising since the red lizard that we brought back was a simple salamander. It wasn't even close to being on the same level as a dragon, it wasn't even close to the level of an impure blood dragon.

But we just insisted that this was the thing.

It wasn't as if they could prove that it was indeed a dragon that was here since the reports came from normal people. It wasn't as if normal people would be able to tell the difference between a real dragon and a salamander.

So in the end, they chose to believe us.

However, after they gave up on questioning us, there was something else that they had to ask.

"Did you really fight this thing all on your own?"

The slight trace of anger in their voices when they asked this made it clear why they were asking this.

It wasn't that they were doubtful, it was that they were angry that we had chosen to fight this thing on our own.

So in the end, the only thing that Aragon and I could do was make excuses with awkward smiles on our faces.
