16 – 1. Academy (16)

#16

1 Hour to enter the dungeon.

We still haven’t gotten past the beginning. No, to be precise, it had to be seen that it was spinning continuously in a place with a similar atmosphere to the beginning.

Some of the [Gullies where scales are hidden] Are bigger than I imagined, but the bottom of the dark canyon was like a labyrinth with passages leading here and there like ant nests.

I also went back to where he came from twice, even though Hive found his way. I couldn’t tell if it was because it was an informal exchange of information rather than perfect communication, or if the road was changing along the way.

But I’m sure it would have taken a lot longer if it hadn’t been for the scouting out the way.

The dungeon roads are all randomly rearranged as soon as a person enters, except for large structures, so you can’t rely on Kang So-seon for directions.

“Huh!”

Shake!

“Geee!”

The sword of shadow cut the salamander’s eyeball.

Like cockroaches that proliferate indefinitely if left alone, the slime salamander that kept popping up from somewhere blocked our way, and thanks to that, we learned a way to give it a fatal blow without using fire to clear its slime.

Eyes can be seen as the most common location among them.

Thanks to this, the [Dismemberment] Skill, which I have become proficient at, has begun to shine, and even an object I just encountered can mysteriously know where to poke to cut off muscles cleanly or to peel off scales more comfortably.

Even if the whole body is covered with mucus, gaps always exist as long as the creature moves. Throw the dagger of the shadow and embed it into the joint of the guy’s leg, then add his shadow to make the grown shadow rise like a thorn.

If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to penetrate and incapacitate him immediately, and even if you don’t, you can freeze his movements for an instant, making it easier to aim for the next attack.

Hook!

“Gerreuk…!”

I inserted the elongated window of shadow into the naturally open mouth of the guy, then twisted it to fix it more deeply. If the tip of the spear was firmly in contact with the inside of the body, the next step was the magic projection.

The tip of the spear was transformed into the shape of a morning star full of sharp thorns.

No matter how weightless it was, the increased volume and sharpness were enough to rip through the soft flesh that was not protected by slime.

Fuguaac!

In an instant, the guy’s body swelled up like a balloon.

The guy whose eyeballs protruded due to the sudden increased pressure struggled and tried to breathe, but because of the thorns that had already pierced his lungs, instead of screaming, he died after only blood flowed.

“ !!”

While I was sure to kill one, Kang So-seon was constantly firing And roasting the others approaching from the follow-up. Since they were big guys, it was close to impossible to avoid the rain of fire bullets.

The slime that had protected them until just now began to harden. When what had been protecting them became shackles that restrained them, they began to panic. I tried to run away belatedly, but even that was not easy because of the shadow trap I had set up in advance.

“Kong!”

In the end, the battle was over with those who fell helplessly due to Graul’s sharp claw attack that appeared from behind and my passing, who joined later.

As soon as the battle ended, a system alarm went up. The number of enemies caught in this section alone exceeded 30, so it was a natural result.

Of course, 30 of them did not come out all at once. If there were 3 to 6 guys passing by, there were about 10 of them who were led by the light of Created by Kang So-seon to light up the darkness, and about 10 of them who flocked to the commotion created by fighting them.

There was no way to know if the size of the dungeon was so large that there were a lot of monsters, or if the mission of the dungeon was focused on escaping, so it would respawn infinitely.

It was a forced march of our own, but we weren’t tired yet. New things have been added to the [Summoning Book] That I glanced at.

+

[10. Lizard]

* Currently, the number of summons that can be registered is [3].

+

“Hmm”

It’s good that something new came out, but it wasn’t what I wanted. I checked it with the [Summoning Book], Wondering if it was just the name, but it was a small object with a maximum growth size of less than 50cm.

It’s on the big side for the average lizard from its previous life, but it’s nothing more than a bite-sized meal in a place where monsters are comparable in size to large dogs.

In the end, there is no change in the fact that it is not the [Sub-dragon] I wanted.

Does it really need to evolve here? Or are there other conditions apart from information in order to release it because it is a higher-ranking entity?

If there was someone who could give me a definite answer, I would be able to solve it with a sense of calm, but it was frustrating because there was no such person.

I already wasted too much time. In fact, I was still thinking about whether it would be better to raise other summons at this time, so the conflict deepened. To be honest… Yeah, I was a little nervous.

Even while I am stagnant like this, others may take one step, three steps or more. There is still a difference, but thinking that the gap will widen further, my body naturally energized.

I didn’t even think about the chatter. I’m talking about guys like Reus.

“Why is that?”

As if she realized that I was thinking about something, Kang So-seon stuck her head in and blocked my view of the [Book of Summoning]. Perhaps because she had just fought a battle, I could feel her soft scent rising more strongly.

What on earth do you believe in and be so careless…

No, maybe it’s because I’m confident in my skills. Either way, it felt like they were looking down on me, which made me feel bad. I frowned at her and shook her head to get a better view.

“It smells. Stop sticking around.”

“Hey!”

I thought I would stay closer for a while, but I laughed out loud at the sight of her freaking out and moving away from me.

“That, does it smell like that?”

She showed a rather serious reaction to my reaction, and as it was, she turned around behind her and started sniffing her own body. Do you think it’s okay then? Is not it? It was a spectacle to see him begin to worry while walking away.

It was more like a fragrance than a smell, but I have no obligation to tell you. On the contrary, I was relieved to see her fall so easily, who had shamelessly stuck by her side no matter what she did. I should have used this method a long time ago.

“Then won’t it?”

“Mui”

When I replied coldly, Jiang So-seon hugged herself while making a strange sound, her face reddening and her characteristic sullen expression.

“Huh, junior is a pervert…!”

“If you know, stop clinging to me. I’ll really hit you.”

Of course, I have no intention of actually attacking them. As I said before, my taste is a straight style sister. Jiang So-sun’s body is very attractive when viewed by a third person, but she was always a slender body.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have the size of my heart I wanted.

In that respect, that woman is really evil. She changed the size, scent, and color of her body every day, and I rubbed her body nonstop for a day to find a look that suited my taste. Eventually, she achieved that obsession.

…Ah, I remembered a dark nightmare I didn’t want to recall. I put in the dill, but I feel like I’m going to go to hell. What kind of self-destruction is this?

“Ahhhhh…”

Maybe it was because I thought about it without filtering, my eyes naturally passed her body as if scanning it. She, who is already sensitive to her gaze, read it, and she was very embarrassed and wandered her gaze, and eventually her face turned red like persimmon.

“I, uh…”

The way she wiggled her fingers and rubbed her thighs was like hearing someone confess. Unexpectedly, the fresh reaction cooled my interest. She thought she’d pass her smirk, but she doesn’t seem to be immune to this kind of abscess.

“Just kidding. What are you so serious about?”

“…Ah?”

I want to keep watching you moaning alone, but now the break time is over.

I also pulled out the magic stone roughly, and if my prediction is correct, I can reach the center by moving forward. I felt it while fighting earlier, but the feeling of the soil was different from the places I had passed so far.

“We took a break, so let’s go.”

“Ha! No. Whoa, really…!”

You want to say something, but it doesn’t come out of your mouth? Organizing your mind is slow. That’s how I felt until now. To think a little deeper, I heard chatter from the side all the time, so the stress wasn’t the only thing.

If you know of my hard work, I hope you will keep your mouth shut even for a moment.

She closed her mouth for the last words and exclamations she couldn’t utter until the end, then blew her magical energy into the sword at her waist and slammed it into the air.

I was satisfied with the way it left a trail of blue magic along with the sound of the strong wind. I guess I’ll live a bit now. Although he has moved out of his original position, it is a good sign that he is starting to focus on fighting.

Wouldn’t it be hard to beat the monster thinking that I am the monster that will appear in the future? If you see them squirming in anger, there is a high probability that they will be brutally beaten and then killed. I don’t know who will come out, but let’s express our condolences in advance.

The pace of the party, which had become quieter, progressed very quickly.

From the middle, it was seen that the width of the oysters increased and patterns for each section began to appear in the simple passage. It was hard to see it as a den dug by a simple monster.

“Is it a made passage?”

“No matter where you start, the final destination is the temple in the middle of the dungeon. The more traces of human touch there are, the proof that it is getting closer to the temple. Joy!”

“…I see.”

What do you mean when you tell me everything you need to tell me and then get angry? Also, people are too kind.

Gugg

“…Is it vibration again?”

I even felt like the epicenter was closer than last time. Is it because we are closer to the center? I heard that this earthquake was caused by a dragon, so it might be that the dragon is nearby.

Did the earthworm say that the turtle was the last mole? Except for the name label, they are the ones who nailed Kang So-seon as being huge, so the size must be beyond imagination.

“Caw”

“… Huh?”

At that time, Hive felt an urgent feeling. I had never been like this before, so my nerves were on edge in an instant. What the hell are you doing?

Guggugg…!!!

The ever-increasing vibration was unusual. Kang So-seon also looked at me with a firm expression, probably noticing that fact. At the same time, I narrowed my eyes at the information from the hive.

“…Senior, can you tell me what the earth dragon looks like?”

“Uh, it has hard hermit crab-like claws instead of nails on both front feet, and it has spines like a hedgehog growing between its fur.”

What kind of mole is that? Just a mutant chimerage. The problem is that she has now found someone who fits 80% of her impression. That it is approaching this way in real time.

I gestured towards the back where the light of Was shining and said.

“…Does it look like that?”

“Yes? Oh, right! With a shell that looks like a stone just like that… Huh?”

Doo-doo-doo

The vibration, which had not diminished and only intensified since before, now made the entire aisle where we were seated tremble. No, in real time, the tremors only increased, but did not show any momentum to decrease. If you think about it, it can’t be normal.

Quad Deuk!! Empty!

The huge claws that appeared to pierce through the entrance of the passageway and the rodent-specific nose that emerged from between them stared straight at us.

“Booooo!!!!”

Then, tormented by the light of the , He began to mercilessly strike the arms of the tongs.

Boom! Bang! Bang!!!

Every time the terrain collapsed and the ground shook. It was not easy to jump backwards because of the body enough to fill the aisle, and it was not easy to attack because of the ignorant strength enough to shake the ground.

Even if I tried to attack in the first place, it didn’t seem like I would be able to inflict any meaningful damage as long as that rocky shell was firmly seated like a shield. Among us, even Growl, who had the highest strength, preferred a fight with agility rather than an openly pushing power fight, and lacked the means to counter that strength.

Whether it’s using magic or whatever, we’re at a disadvantage in fighting at least in this situation.

“Hive!”

“aaah!!!”

As soon as he shouted, Hive swung his wings and sent the Shadow Crow flying. It’s going to take a while to steal your attention. Moles have poor eyesight in the first place. It’s just that the sensory organs that cover it are excellent. That’s why it was enough to take away his sight even for a moment.

“!”

Kang So-seon chanted a new spell at the same time as he blew the shadow crow and obstructed his vision. In that brief moment, she immediately perfected her magic.

Light, Explosion. Recognizing those two words, I immediately took my eyes off the Earth Dragon and turned around to prepare to draw out the shadow.

“!!”

Beep—!

The place where the intense light appeared was in front of the Earth Dragon. At the same time, tinnitus rang in my ears, and an artificially created explosion of pure light instantly brightened the other side of the aisle.

“Boo…!”

The noise added to the eyes caused him to lose his senses. Keep the distance like this I pulled Kang So-seon’s arm as he prepared for the next attack, held it in my arms, and sat on top of Growl.

“Kyaa, ugh…!”

“Be quiet because it’s noisy.”

It seems that the tinnitus sound from just now was still in my ears, but when I tried to shout next to it, it really felt like my ears were deaf. I blocked my mouth with the shadow and at the same time firmly fixed it on Growl’s body, I condensed a large amount of shadow and threw it backwards.

The feeling was like the spider I dealt with the other day spewing out a web.

Chack!

At the same time as fixing the image, I put mana into the spider’s web of shadows that spread all over the place and clung to the entire passage to reinforce its strength, and then ran out.

“Paaa! I really want you to say something like this!!”

“Where is that in a tense situation?”

“Woo-san…!”

Even if he raised his eyebrows like that, he didn’t look scared at all because of his soft eyes, but rather looked like he was fawning.

“Front”

“I know even if you don’t tell me, yo!”

Irritated by my indifferent words, Kang So-seon swung her magical sword forward, and it created a thin line and cut down the giant bat-shaped monster that was approaching in front. Compared to Reus’ sword, it was very poor, but it had enough killing power.

“…..!!!!!!!!!!”

Thump! Koo Goo Goo!!!

The sound of the ground collapsing was heard from behind along with a scream in anger. I guess I’m really pissed off.

The Earth Dragons that followed from behind were also Earth Dragons, but the monsters that were newly appearing as they got closer to the center were the biggest trouble.

“Charah!!”

“Kikki!”

A centipede with developed jaws resembling the horns of a cow, a guy reminiscent of a giant fruit bat, and even a huge pill bug with a rock stuck in its back.

Those who were thought to have been hiding until now started to block the path ahead. Maybe even the guys who were getting along well became enraged when the earth dragon’s angry movements started to randomly dig into the surroundings.

It was none other than Kang So-seon’s job to intercept them all.

“, !! !!!!”

He calmly demonstrates a demonic combo that binds enemies with wind magic and burns them with At the same time, or makes the magic itself dwell in the sword and shoots it with sword steel, resulting in cutting and burning at the same time. Did.

It was a feat that only those with deep knowledge of magic and swordsmanship could perform.

“, ”

Occasionally, he cut the wall with his sword and made a wall of ice from there to block off the follower who tried to come to his senses and pursue us. Of course, that was also a temporary measure, so it was brutally disassembled in the hands of the Earth Dragon, which was speeding up like crazy.

Which monster was in between? Find out something Whether it be minchi or eaten by the earth dragon. Will be one of the two

[The skill [Riding] Is learned through repeated mastery.]

[Acquires the skill [Escape] Through repeated mastery.]

As if the system counted all these actions as experience, it began to spread skills at will.

But I wasn’t entrusting everything to Kang So-seon. While fixing her so that she can unleash her magic without hesitation, at the same time, through her skill [Set Trap], Set all the shadow traps that have been calibrated behind her, slowing down her Earth Dragon’s advance a little. I tried my best to stop it.

Of course, it was not enough to stop the Earth Dragon from moving because everything was rushed.

[The level of the skill [Set Trap] Will increase.]

[The skill level has increased by 1.]

Still, I succeeded in raising the skill level. That 1 ability is also important for dealing with him from now on.

“Junior! In front of you over there!”

As I looked ahead at her words, I began to see the end of the aisle. If you see that there is light, is it outside? It means that there will be space for either side to fight properly.

Already, the distance from the Earth Dragon is almost one pyeong apart, and I feel the cool pressure behind my back. Finally, I release my magic to create a trap, and then endow Graul with magic to speed it up.

Boom!

A feeling of floating felt instantly. After that, I opened my mouth wide at the dampness of the cold water. It’s a waterfall There was a waterfall in front of me. The problem is that our position is floating in the air.

There was a distance from the wall, perhaps because of the power that was there. However, letting go of both hands and getting caught up in the waterfall is NG. It is said that there is water right below, but when it falls from this height, no matter how liquid it is, it is no different from concrete.

“Hoo, junior! What now?!”

“Anything is fine, so anything that reduces acceleration!!”

“ !!”

A rough wind, aiming for the approaching waterfall, made us float in the air just before reaching the water. But this alone is not enough. ‘Cause we’re still floating in the air

I delivered magic power to Hive and passed his will at the same time. As if in response, Hive’s wings fluttered and summoned a large number of shadow crows.

“Lightweight magic!”

“ !!”

At the same time, a cool breeze blew through our bodies, including Growl.

I didn’t settle for the momentarily reduced acceleration, and continued to step on the crow and fall toward the ground. That’s why it’s like Ojakgyo. Depending on the fairy tale, there was not much difference between stepping on a crow and a magpie.

“Aha, ahahahahaha!!”

The crisis disappeared, and what remained was the heightened tension thanks to the excessively secreted adrenaline. I let out a sigh when I saw Kang So-seon start laughing with his mouth wide open.

“Junior, this is really fun. Right?! Do it again! Also!”

“I don’t want to experience that again…”

“Ah, don’t do that! Stepping on the crow at the end was just like Ojakgyo in the story of the cowherd and the weaver girl, so it was really funny!”

I had to frown at her words.

I never thought I would have the same thoughts as her. We haven’t been together for a long time, but maybe it’s because the time between them was intense, and I felt like she and her way of thinking were right for me, so I was crying for no reason.

This is strangely unpleasant and irritating.

The atmosphere where only one party was friendly ended quickly. As soon as I thought it was getting dark, a huge black pig was falling from the sky.

Cooooo!!!!

The ground around him was crushed and cracked. At the same time, the dust and the water that rose upward from the impact mixed and scattered muddy water in all directions. I watched the black figure wriggling beyond.

“Wow… The Earth Dragon seems okay to fall from such a high place. It is a new discovery.”

“It must be less painful because it is a lump of fat.”

“Aha!”

You shouldn’t agree there, dude. Can’t you see there’s a long stretch on the wall up there? It’s obvious that he was trying to climb down the wall to come down safely, but after seeing that we were safe, he rolled his eyes and fell.

Anyway, I can’t even joke.

“Prepare for battle”

I would have slowed down, but the height is high.

In my mind, I expected it to fall from its head and break its neck bone like Crow No. 1, Which had already gone to the United States, but seeing as it started to move immediately after falling from that height, it seemed unlikely.

“Hee hee, don’t worry! I was already collecting mana!”

In order to take the rearguard position naturally, he grabbed Raul by the shoulder and shook her head, holding her shoulder with a slightly regretful expression. I was convinced after seeing the previous battle. She is too wasteful to be used as a simple stationary bag.

It was because she realized that limiting the flexible use of magic and swordsmanship, which grow equally with each other due to the skill [Combined Martial Arts], Is no different from starting with her skills reduced by 50%.

No matter how important it is to fill up my encyclopedia and level the hives, I didn’t have enough energy to play with the boss named Named.

“Senior is at the forefront.”

“Ah, are you okay?”

“Yes, since you have compelled me to do so, for now, do as you please.”

I want to calmly [Observe] The boss, so this time I plan to assist.

As if he liked that fact so much, he began to nod his head the most vigorously and violently he had ever seen. Her orange eyes, which had gradually begun to possess magical powers, seemed to be excited by the fact that she was fighting the enemy from now on.

“Whoa…”

As if waiting for the right time, she closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath, and the flow of her magical power began to flow from her mouth.

It wasn’t just a mumble. It was a variety of strengthening spells that were rapidly pouring down like a rapid-fire cannon, and the more they overlapped, the thicker the concentration of magical energy radiated around her body.

“”

There were over 50 words I could understand in those fast words. Actual use would be more than that. A beautiful aurora-like grain of light began to float around her as she wore the buff. It was magic, and it was magic that was so clear that it could be seen.

Just as Reus seemed to have changed into a giant, the condensation of magical power beyond the limit settled into that form.

As if she was carrying the Milky Way on her back, she smiled as if she was finally ready, with a smiley expression full of liveliness.

“Ready!”

At the same time, the guy stuck his head out through the dust.

“Puuooooo!!!!”

[The named [Earth Dragon – Agmola] Has appeared.]

The battle has begun.
