Chapter 44 – Dungeons

“I will never forgive this humiliation!!!”

Extremely furious, I let out a lion’s roar.

There was a wizard on the enemy side, but his magic was useless in front of Meria’s shield, and the skeletons coming from the other side were too lowly to block my defeat.

“Sister Elise! I will break through! Copson! You come too!”
“All right.”
“Good night!”

I ran vigorously toward the front. Elise and Copson caught up behind me, and a wedge formed naturally. Its momentum was like that of brave knights breaking through infantry formations.

“Magnum Kick!”

I jumped up vigorously with acceleration and hit the skeleton with a double side kick.

ㅡ Pleasant!
ㅡThat’s it!

The kick with the formidable power of the 3rd Taekwondo dan smashed three skeletons at once. Fighting spirit boiled over. If you don’t fuck all these bastards today, the flame of fighting spirit that won’t go out!

The dungeon will receive three skulls today!

ㅡHe comes with light…

As he vigorously smashed the other skeletons, he heard the sound of an incantation from behind.
It seemed that Elise was trying to use her divine skill of hers.

“Light Bolt!”

An orb of light shot out overtaking me. The sacred sphere lit up the dungeon and flew away, breaking the skeletons. It was a flare itself with tremendous physical power.

—-Pusseok!
ㅡPretty!

As the skeletons that touched the light bolt broke and collapsed, a long straight road was formed. It was an opportunity. I just jumped out like a sprinter.

The target was, of course, a Skeleton Mage.

“Die! Wizard!”

ㅡThat person.
ㅡHurt!

However, the Skeleton Mage did not give in. It chanted darkness again and cast curse magic.

Purple flames rose above the staff with the black crystal ball embedded in them, becoming a sphere and shooting them. The blazing ball of fire that flew in was like a grotesque deep-sea fish attacking from the bottom of the darkest depths.

It looked so ominous, and it was very fast.

However.

“Evasion!”

It wasn’t fast enough to hit me, who was extremely focused.

I looked closely at the flying sphere of fire and rolled on the floor at the right timing. The sphere flew through the air and flew behind me.

ㅡPergung!

An explosion was heard once. I turned my head halfway and looked back. Meria was blocking her body with a shield.

“I blocked it!”
“Great!”

It seemed that Meria had blocked it. Good night. Now there is nothing to worry about. The distance between these 20 Skeleton Mages and me was only a few meters in the future—I intended to close the distance and destroy him at once. A destructive urge that no one could stop came up.

ㅡGuggggg.

It was only then that he began to grasp the situation, and he slowly took a step backwards. Indeed, even if it is a skull bar, the head rolls a little like a wizard. In response to that action, all other skeletons also retreated. If you can’t fight and win, you have to run.

That’s a wise decision. Deserve praise
Seeing me and running away is the right thing to do.

“Wise judgment desu.”

But it was too late.
If you were going to run away, no, if you were going to do that in the first place, you shouldn’t have appeared in front of me.

Wizards will pay the price.

“I’ll give you a fucking spear!”

I put the power of running as it is and lowered the slash in a diagonal line.

This was a class, one of the skills I learned from Karin. A technique that puts running speed intact into a slash. It is the kind of skill that a decent guy will go screaming like a car accident while being a parent.

“Damn it!”
—Sgung.

The blade drew a clear trajectory.

ㅡIt was cut.

“You cut something useless.”

The slash went in incredibly clean. It was the best cut of my life that I have to admit. Pleasure like that of an executioner rushed into his fingertips.

ㅡKugung.

The Skeleton Mage’s body was precisely cut in two.

Its spine slide along the diagonal cut and fell to the ground. Collecting my spirits, I lead the sword into the scabbard. Because there are other things to do from now on.

That’s right.

“This amito ㅡ chewy bastard!”

It is to chew Meiji.

“Fuck you bastard! Fuck you dog! What a fucking new year!”

ㅡ Puff puck puck puck!

Losing myself in anger, I madly trampled on his ashes. I just thought it was going to the goal because some kind of water had suddenly risen.

Thinking about it sent goose bumps down my spine. The sensation of water entering the nose is still vivid.

“Dwijyang! Dwijyang! Dwijyang, dwijji, you motherfucking motherfucker!”

I fell into a daze and pulverized his bones.

It wasn’t until I kicked and trampled him with my boots for a long time that I finally turned him into bone powder, and my runaway was over.

“Ha ha… Ha… I won.”

You won a wonderful victory against the mage. At the sense of accomplishment, sweat from the refreshing labor flowed down his forehead. Endorphins are released. Feeling better, I laughed lowly.

“You’ve put out a fucking spear. It’s a barbarian itself.”
“Hey… Are you okay now?”

Copson and Meria came over and said. I smiled at them.

“Ah, it’s okay.”

To put it bluntly, the mood was clear enough to make me want to enshrine the finely ground Skeleton Mage’s bone powder in an ashes.

“It was just the right use of anger. You just have to live with that precious heart in his heart.”

Elise also smiled brightly for some reason. Righteous anger was a word I wouldn’t normally understand, but I happily accepted the word, intoxicated with the pleasure of victory.

“Then we’ll have to check.”

Elise went into the darkness and picked up the Skeleton Mage’s skull. I was so angry that I kicked it first and blew it away.

“As expected. Look at the skull of this Skeleton Mage. Isn’t that a symbol you’ve seen often?”
“Uh, huh?”

I hadn’t noticed it before, but on the forehead of her skull, there was a familiar pattern etched in black. As I pondered it, when I realized what it was, a shriek of amazement erupted from my mouth.

“Kobold Idol!”
“Yes. This also proves that there is some kind of disturbing connection.”

When I first worked with Elise, I destroyed a kobold’s idol. Those who lived underground somehow crawled out onto the ground and did such things, and what they found there was this symbol.

…Smells of some evil plot.

“Anyway, it seems my mission is over.”

Elise stroked the Skeleton Mage’s head. Her purpose was an investigation, so perhaps taking that as evidence would end the mission.

“Would you like to go further? My mission is over, but if you wish to explore further, I will comply.”
“Hmm…”

This was the turning point. The group was troubled.

First, there were three options.

1. Chase the Necromancer who may be hiding underground.
2. Fucking a necromancer and making some more money.
3. Just go back to Lululala’s house.

“How are you guys?”

Elise’s doctor confirmed, so she asked Copson and Meria.

“Hmm… Skeleton Mage. This looks a bit dangerous.”
“Honestly, it’s just that skeletons aren’t a big deal…”

After pouring out a bout of intense violence, I was in a rare time of sage time. Judging by my refined and sharpened insight, this was just number two, no more and no less.

“Let’s just make some money or go find more. To be honest, we’re not as good as Necromancers. I’m so damn scared. If you go further inside, instead of a skeleton mage, suddenly a skeleton, a fucking idiot , or something like that could come out.”

I don’t know anything else, but after watching [Skeleton Mage], I definitely made my decision. As a result of having a soul-staking battle with him, I knew one thing.

Necromancers are dangerous.

At most, the only thing that causes a skeleton is a wizard, so I wonder if he can do something like that. However, being able to create a skeleton that can use magic is a bit large.

It’s just a bone, but it uses magic. If so, the magician who created it would be afraid of what grotesque magic he could use.

It might be a spell that can’t be blocked by a shield or a spell that’s so fast that even my agility stat can’t avoid it.

If that’s true, it boasts an amiable difficulty level.

There is no need to deal with unidentified enemies.

“I guess that’s right. I definitely felt a little dangerous when I saw a wizard.”
“It can be blocked with a shield, so it’s not that scary, right?”

Copson nodded his head, and Meria expressed her doubts. As a person who handles a shield well, he has trust in his shield. She does n’t want to pour cold water on her pride her, but

“It’s a big deal if you meet a bastard who uses magic that can’t be blocked with a shield.”
“Um… I guess so.”

Since magic is an anomalous and mysterious thing, there was a possibility that the shield would become useless. If you shoot something like a beam that penetrates walls, you won’t be left behind. Since it’s a necromancer, it might shoot something like a death beam.

“Oh, that’s right Shiba. Rather than that, this staff.”

I had been forgetting for a while and picked up the staff with the black crystal embedded in it, that is, the skeleton mage was holding.

“That…”
“It looks expensive.”
“Right?”

The black crystal looked cloudy with cracks and faded light, but he was sure to use magic with it. I’m new to magic, but it works, so it sounds like it’s not completely broken.

Wizard tools are generally expensive.

Well, there may be many reasons, but it goes over for now. What I want to say is that even low-end equipment boasts a fairly large price. And this black crystal ball wand will be no exception.

No, rather, it was a Necromancer’s item, so it might be more valuable.

“I like it very much.”

The couple’s eyes lit up. This would be the greatest harvest of this dungeon trip. Greed was all over the place. At that time, Meria spoke faintly, as if she was fascinated by the black crystal ball.

“Then why don’t we go looking for a few more Skeleton Mages? She knows what the enemy is she, so you just have to be careful enough, and if they have the same wands as this one …”

— Gulp.

I swallowed my saliva. There was no one who could resist the greedy temptation. Because adventurers are such a family. We looked into each other’s faces and laughed like greedy merchants. Copson’s face looks like a pot of desire, so it feels friendly. I feel like I have to draw a couple of cards.

“Clack cluck.”
“Hehe… That’s a good idea.”
“Come to think of it, it would be better to bring one more piece of evidence. Huhu.”

As expected, we filled the lantern with oil with greedy hands and headed into darkness.
