Chapter 230 – Attack of Nakseong Cave, Class B Dungeon Where Stel, the Current Top Academy Player, Is Rampant
One.
A large dome-shaped ceiling, a hemispherical floor, and the tomb of a star with huge oval pupils interlocking the two.
And every side of it was full of ground bark worms.
The movement of the colony, like a wave, put pressure on the opponent by itself, but at least it had no effect on the target Stel.
Fault. Tadat.
Stel strengthened his legs with mana and made his way towards the dungeon boss located in the deepest part of the crater.
Protecting the dungeon boss is the instinct of the monsters belonging to the dungeon, so the ground bark bugs on the way to Stell raised her chin and snapped, but her steps did not slow down in the slightest.
Bang! Kwakwang!
Rather, the hard carapace of the land bark beetle served as a good stepping stone, and as Stell strengthened leg strength, the land bark beetles passed by were crushed leaving footprints on the carapace and died.
Again, as you might expect, the crustaceans aren’t much of a threat. It has strong teeth and is hard, but it is slow and has a short reach. You just have to think of it as a stepping stone and move on.
Stell enters the third year, and when he chooses classes, he only takes those that can enhance his unique abilities.
That’s why other students didn’t even take the body strengthening class that was almost mandatory, and that’s why students and even the body strengthening professors were looked down upon with contempt.
Kieeck!
Kwajik! Bang!
But now, Stell did not use any of her unique abilities that she had been honing so much, and she was just strengthening her own leg strength and using it as a stepping stone to move on.
And even with that alone, the crust bugs, which are known for their hard shells, burst to death helplessly.
Well, as expected, this level of physical strengthening is enough at this stage. More than this is unnecessary.
The reason Stell hasn’t taken a body strengthening class since she was in the third grade is because she has reached such perfection in strengthening that she doesn’t need to learn more of her student level body strengthening.
Arrived. The one shining over there is the boss of Nakseong Cave.
The boss of the B-class dungeon ‘Nakseonggul’, who could clearly recognize that it was shining even when viewed from a distance, was able to see a clearer glow when approached closer.
In the deepest part of the crater, the dungeon boss that emitted only bright light from a very deep place literally looked like a star that had fallen from the sky.
The only light source of the tomb of stars located deep underground, its brilliant light exudes admiration from the viewer.
Now. What to do.
“Suck!”
However, rather than admiring it, Stel chose to spur the carapace under his feet with a strong spur.
Bang!!!!!
At the same time, several blue spines about 3 meters long rose from the place where Stel stepped, piercing the bugs that were nearby, including the land bark beetle that Stel stepped on and jumped up.
Kwagwagwak!!!
The blue thorn, the same color as the blue light source located at the center of the crater, threw off the five worms that had been threaded through it as if in anger because it had penetrated something other than Stell.
The bugs that were thrown hard became shells on their own and smashed the land bark beetles around them.
“Really, how is this a tomb of stars and Nakseong Cave?”
Seeing the dungeon boss killing the dungeon beasts so easily in the air, Stel let out a laugh and lowered his gaze directly below him.
At the end of Stell’s gaze, in the blue light source, there was a huge insect expressing hostility towards him, banging its large dog-like jaws.
“That’s not a fallen star or anything. It’s just a glowing bug.”
The boss of Nakseong Cave is the huge insect that is clashing with each other in the center of the hemispherical crater under Stel’s feet.
Its official name was ‘starlight ant ghost’.
Star Grave was actually not a crater, but a nest of ant ghosts that emit light.
Keyeeeee
A scream so loud that it was incomparable to the sound made by the crustaceans shook the entire star’s tomb.
It was natural for the sound to resonate well because of the large pupils, but even taking that into account, the resonance of the sound was unusual.
Kwagwagwagwagwak!
Numerous thorny tentacles pierced the bark beetle and rushed towards Stel as he fell down with a menacing cry that made you sweat cold just by listening to it.
The main weapon of the starlight ant ghost is the countless thorny tentacles that grow from a minimum of 3M to a maximum of 9M.
These tentacles, which were hard to deal with because they had both flexible and hard properties that should not coexist, were weapons that could turn a well-trained Awakener into a skewer.
“Sup. Whoa.”
Stell did not disturb his breathing even as the sharpened, ferocious tentacles reached towards him.
Just clench your fists, cross them in an X in front of your chest, and pour mana into your fists.
After awakening her unique ability, the series of actions that her steers repeated thousands or tens of thousands of times were so natural and swift that it felt as if her thorns, rushing towards her at high speed, stopped for a moment.
Pod!
At the same speed as her, she spread her crossed arms wide to both sides, and her hands that clenched her fists were pizzazzled. Attached to all tentacles.
Inherent Ability – Sowing (播種)
The mana seeds scattered like sleet absorbed everything on the tentacle the moment it was attached to the tentacle, and quickly increased in size.
Kirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr?!
The starlight ant ghost also sensed that her mana was being sucked out in an instant through her tentacles and let out a panicked cry, but it was too late for her to realize.
Kwak!
As if conducting her orchestra, Stell squeezed her gracefully open palms again.
Then, the seeds that absorbed enough mana from her tentacles used all the mana they collected as nutrients for growth according to the will of her master, Stell.
Inherent Ability – Flowering
Beopbeobung!
Like a bomb exploding, countless seeds all lit up and bloomed into large flowers.
The mana flowers that bloomed profusely took root in the tentacles they were planted on, and because of that, the tentacles could no longer move according to the will of the starlight ant ghost.
The tentacles of the starlight ant ghosts were no longer thorny tentacles that pierced and killed living things, but were blue branches with countless flowers.
Widely.
Landing lightly on the branches, Stel looked down at the starlight ant-ghost as she banged her chin in bewilderment and fury, and said in a commanding voice unimaginable to Cintarago, who had never said a word to Gri Blossom and his followers before. .
“Just like your tentacles did, I will help you to bloom again as a pretty flower soon.”
I wanted to say it at least once in the past, but since I was an academy-accredited brat and didn’t have the opportunity to deal with the dungeon boss alone, I kept it in my heart.
Stel, who spoke the line, didn’t care what the quality of the line was, and was just intoxicated with his own coolness.
Awesome… No one’s listening, but I’m really cool right now! That’s it! I’ve been training my unique ability to do this!
Stel, intoxicated with his own coolness in front of the dungeon boss, was really defenseless and complacent.
However, the starlight ant ghost, who was directly observing such a figure, could not recklessly stretch out her tentacles and attack, even though her opponent’s carelessness was clearly visible.
Key profit·······.
The starlight ant ghost’s instinct was warning him.
He knew that if he used the remaining tentacles on Stell, he would die immediately and disappear into the soil.
“Now then, shall we resume the Festival of Flowers, which had been suspended for a while?”
As Stell herself said, she possessed the strength to perfectly attack this ‘Nakseong Cave’ alone.
2.
Beopbeobung! Bang!
Keyeeeee
The sound of flowers blooming as if they were about to burst, and the cries of the starlight ant ghosts and the surrounding earthworms resonated in the star’s tomb.
Overwhelmed by that sound, the Extra Ravillons, trembling, looked at their leader, Grie Blossom, with anxious eyes.
“Hey, over there. Sooner or later, that bastard is going to subdue the starlight ant ghost… Shouldn’t we move soon?”
Originally, Stell and her starlight ant-ghost had a close match, and when the moment came for her to come to an end, their goal was to stab her in the back and give her as food for her starlight ant-ghost.
However, the premise of the plan was ‘a close match’, and now Stel was simply overpowering the hordes of starlight ant ghosts and numerous land bark bugs around.
That’s why Extra Lavillon and the other followers, who didn’t expect this situation, couldn’t help but feel anxious, and had the courage to express their opinions now.
“Hey, extra. You fell asleep while Professor Shibal explained about Nakseong Cave.”
However, Grie Blossom did not feel uneasy at all and instead looked at the Extra Lavillain who asked him with contempt.
“Uh, huh?”
“It’s still phase 1. The true nature of the starlight ant ghost will be revealed soon, and by that time, that weed will have no choice but to show the bottom. So wait. Don’t talk about it while showing off your anxiety.”
“Ah, okay that. Mi-I’m sorry.”
“Anyway, this isn’t just a matter between us, it’s the academy… No, it’s also our responsibility to go beyond the academy and protect the authority of the famous family. Never make a mistake Got it?”
At the voice of the deafening Gri Blossom, his followers, including Extra Lavillon, nodded their heads at the same time and replied in the same way.
“Ah, okay that.”
“It’s soon… Sooner or later, the vain hopes of the lowly people will be dashed.”
