Shadow (2)
Mana flows from Jae-Yoo Hong’s magical sword. Perhaps because of his personality, he was tired, and the color of the sword was lighter than before.
“after. It’s disgusting.”
“I know. How did you come back to life?”
Whenever the corpses of the centaur approached, red blood oozes through the already blackened bloodstains. The right arm of the monster that was supposed to have thrown the spear earlier was twisted to the point where the bones came out.
“Right now, there are two possibilities. Maybe they fell into the trap of an outside force, or maybe even this was training.”
“Then it will be the former. You can’t get this kind of training.”
“… I didn’t say that. I never received it.”
If you say it’s weird, change your words. Glancing at the wounded, her face became paler. As the movement of her chest gradually slowed, her breathing was also becoming lighter.
“Write. Training even when students are dying?”
“But he’s not dead yet. Even those injuries can be healed by divine power before they die, you know. Originally, this dungeon was created by Jenna Walkers.”
“In the end, whether there is a problem in the former or the latter is the problem.”
I’d rather not die in the worst case. I raised my pistol and stood next to Hong Jae-yu.
“great. I’ll catch those two first.”
“Isn’t that teleportation a personality thing? Take a breather.”
“Don’t be silly. I’m kind of caring for you…”
“Are you crazy? It’s creepy. It’s because I have to live. You have to move with the injured kids, and I know how much your personality is needed.”
“······i get it. I don’t know if there will be corpses here, so I’ll take care of them.”
Ugh. Self-esteem has three.
I’m glad I didn’t ask if I could catch it with my skills. Thanks to the movements I showed you earlier and the twins, it must have been a strange image.
Jae-Yoo Hong stepped back and I looked at the corpses approaching.
‘At first, I think I’m the latter.’
No matter what the process is, the Yoosung Academy aims to nurture strong heroes. The reason why it produced strong graduates compared to other academies, the high number of dropouts, and the high number of deaths was all because of this.
‘The only thing that bothers me is…’
The reason that the centaur survived must have been that necromancy was used. Although it is said to be necromancy, in this worldview, black magic is not a taboo magic. As long as it supports mana, it is treated as one of the practical magic that can use free labor indefinitely.
However, in the story, there is a ‘fixed event’ in which the necromancers cause a terrorist attack on the meteor academy. I thought it was just put in to make the situation of the game urgent, but after seeing that, I thought it might not be.
‘It could be that the wizards already have an ally of the organization.’
If it is related to the person who used that necromancer and the necromancer organization that caused the terror, and if you can take action against it, you might be able to avoid the ‘fixed event’.
Let’s keep this in mind. Even if you clear it hundreds of times, there is information that you can never know from Noah Park’s point of view.
I aimed at the centaur’s leg and pulled the trigger in succession. Because of his slow movement, he hit all of them without missing a single shot. However, no matter how much they were pierced, they somehow approached them with deformed movements.
This has no stopping power. Then let’s try it I removed the magazine and used [Mana Conversion].
Cheeky! As the mana was blown to the limit of the fortified pistol, blue sparks began to flutter. I pointed the gun at the gun with both hands, held my breath, and pulled the trigger slowly.
[Matan – Explosiveness]
“Ugh…!”
A gunshot that couldn’t come out of the pistol erupted. The recoil is so severe that you miss the gun. The magic bullet flew in a red trajectory, and when it reached the centaur, it exploded.
woohoo!
The dungeon shakes violently once in shock, and something sticky splashes down on the walls in all directions. The body of the centaur had disappeared without a trace. Even me who shot the magic bullet was amazed at the power.
‘If you use this wrong, you will destroy yourself.’
I picked up a pistol that fell to the ground. Perhaps it was an output that an entry-level pistol could not withstand, and there was a slight crack in the barrel. It hasn’t been broken yet, but there are problems with smooth shooting.
Can you forcefully fire one bullet in the future? Then you have to use another weapon.
Looking around, there were swords and bows used by the wounded, but they were already broken and cracked, so they could not be used.
‘then···.’
there is only this I pulled out the spear stuck in the floor. It was the weapon of the centaur that scraped my cheek earlier.
uhm. I thought it would be heavy because of its size, but thanks to the compensation of the privilege, it was a weight that I could lift. The length of the hilt alone was a trident that exceeded my height.
“hey. let’s move fast Because it sounds like the enemies are coming.”
The person Hong Jae-yoo supported was still studded with cutlery. The spear itself could not be pulled out, so it seems that only the handle was cut. He stopped bleeding with mana, but it was more bloody than before.
I put the rest of the shooter’s arm around my shoulders and stood up with the spear as support. There was a lot of amputated arm on the floor, but there was no time to take care of it. The shooter moaned in pain as he moved his body.
“eww······.”
body is getting colder It wouldn’t be strange if he had already died, but the Awakened is an Awakened? Still, I don’t know how long he can hold out.
“Now that the sound has spread, other groups besides the enemy will come to visit. You can join them.”
“At the end of the day, whatever you do, you have to quickly escape the dungeon.”
Jae-Yoo Hong and I started moving quickly, supporting each other one by one. First, I got out of the wide passage and entered the small road.
I don’t know if it’s fortunate or not, but the walls of the dungeon started to glow more and more, making it easy to secure visibility.
Hong Jae-yu, who was at the forefront, spoke up.
“Is that Matan?”
“uh? uh, by the way.”
“As far as I can remember, you didn’t have that much power, what happened?”
. I fixed the position of the person who supported me and answered.
“Last time, Oh Yun-ha took care of me with magic. And I’ve been asking you secretly since before, stop asking about other people’s abilities. It wouldn’t be polite to ask a competitor.”
“Ttt, what kind of competitor are you… In the first place, you’re going to tell me how to be polite… wait a minute.”
Jae-Yoo Hong, with his tongue stuck, stopped talking and listened. As I held my breath and focused my attention on my ears, I heard a human voice nearby.
“I hear a sound from over there.”
“I heard.”
As I followed the sound, I saw that the six people who had already joined were moving. They, too, had been injured in battle, and the signs of exhaustion were evident.
“Because there was a noise from around here… Oh, Jaeyoo!”
“Ho-Yeon! Isuya!”
When Lee Woon-ho’s group found us, they were happy and ran to us. To be precise, looking at Jae-Yoo Hong or these guys. As soon as he put down the supporting shooter, the guys who ran up approached him.
“What in the world is this…”
“Is there anything to recover from?”
“The arm?”
···Well. I don’t care about anyone.
It’s only natural that I don’t know their names. I slid back and waited for the atmosphere to calm down.
‘There are two wounded here too.’
From the back, two people were wounded and had a troubled expression on their faces. Looking at the weapon, it looks like it’s a swordsman or a supporter. Fortunately, it did not appear to be fatal.
After a while, when the situation was somewhat settled, everyone began to share their opinions.
“I think I have fallen into a trap.”
“Is not it. Besides, if you see that the dungeon is not unlocked, maybe something happened outside.”
Everyone was confused and said their thoughts. No one thought this was training.
‘Actually, it’s like this, but it’s cool to think that way.’
Nana and Hong Jae-Yoo are unique. It would be better not to say that it could also be training. It’s just going to make you nervous. She made eye contact with me as if she was thinking like Hongjae Judo.
I nod my head and look away. In any case, it could really be an attack from an outside force. Staying in a state of tension is not going to be a poison in the present situation.
After everyone finished speaking, they waited for Hong Jae-yu to open his mouth. Soon he spoke naturally from the center of the crowd.
“Since half of us have gathered, our purpose is to go out on our own rather than looking for other groups.”
“Okay, I get it.”
“Excluding the injured, six people. Two of them need support, so only four can actually fight. First of all, Kim Jae-min, you support the wounded from the rear…”
“Then he can do the rest. hey. you do it.”
Lee Woon-ho pointed at me as if he was waiting and said.
Do you want to keep a check like that in this situation? pathetic kid. When I go out, I really need to shoot one shot.
“Okay.”
I was just trying to nod my head as it only caused controversy if I had to respond here. Then Hong Jae-yu shook his head.
“No, Lee Woon-ho. you do it.”
“uh? What are you talking about?”
Unho Lee was taken aback by the unexpected words. The other guys looked like that too. Jae-Yoo Hong said, “Hmm,” and cleared his throat as he spoke.
“How did you guys catch the centaur?”
“Yeah, that’s how the other kids attacked while me and Jaemin blocked their movements.”
“Then there will be no complaints. Because he caught him alone.”
“Ah… what is that? You must have caught it.”
When Hong Jae-yu looks at me without answering, everyone’s attention is focused on me. Why are you doing that?
“really?”
Unho Lee widened his eyes and said as if he couldn’t believe it.
“hey. you tell me Really you…”
“Oh, shut up.”
If you stand still, I can’t hear you. As the story gradually grew longer, I raised my voice.
“I have a child who is dying right now, so do you have time to play around like this?”
“······however.”
“It is again. Don’t vomit when your boss tells you, just shut up and say yes. What are you doing like a kid, now?”
Once he was temperamental, the atmosphere quickly became colder. Lee Un-ho’s face also turned red, but he couldn’t say anything as he talked about his injured children.
It’s quiet now. I sighed heavily, then leaned the spear on my shoulder and said.
“Hong Jae-Yoo. It’s not a pistol right now, it can only fire once when needed.”
“Then you mean you’re going to fall back?”
“No, I’m also going close.”
Lee Woon-ho immediately reacted to my words and stepped out.
“You are bullshit. How does a shooter take on close combat! Jaeyoo, just me.”
“hey. Listen to this.”
I summoned him and threw the spear of the centaur he was holding.
“Uhhh!!!”
thud! Unho Lee took his spear to his chest and made a strange sound, but he couldn’t bear his weight and leaned forward and missed it. I picked up the spear that had been rolling at my feet.
Everyone looked at me with puzzled expressions.
“Then I think it’s decided by this.”
There was no further objection to that statement. Then Hong Jae-yu with a satisfied expression said:
“Seo-Han. Is there anything else you would like to say?”
“Uh. I’ll guide you on the road, so please don’t vomit and follow me.”
“Is that something you can take responsibility for?”
“then.”
“Come on, wait a minute.”
Then another guy intervened. He is the only shooter in the current situation. The boy looked at me and spoke with anxious eyes.
“On what grounds? If you go the wrong way here, everyone will die. It’s not like it’s a good feeling, isn’t it…?”
“I’m sorry. I don’t bet on the uncertain thing of persimmon. Just for me—”
I said, pointing to my eyes.
“You can see it, length.”
[Under the Essence Investigation]
A blue light flowing through the wall was guiding me towards the exit.
