Chapter 300 – Episode 300 – Academy (33)

Episode 300 – Academy (33)

Kang Su-ho, who was wandering through the forest, stopped.

Kyaang…! Kang…!

I pricked up my ears at the strange sound.

I closed my eyes and concentrated. His hearing was several times better than others. [Eavesdropping] It was thanks to the awakening of God’s protection.

‘···I never thought this kind of protection would be helpful.’

I raised my sensitive hearing to its limit.

Cough! Cheaeng! Visor!

It was the sound of metal clashing against metal. It was faint, but clear, perhaps because it was incredibly far away.

‘Oh oh!’

It was frustrating for him to be in the quiet forest, as if he were dead. He was a little scary too. But I was glad to hear the sound of metal. Since ancient times, iron has been a symbol of civilization.

‘It’s a person!’

I wanted to run right away, but I held back. I checked the communication bracelet, but there was still no response. This means that they are not part of the group.

‘···Let’s go first.’

I took care of the magic power first. He made his way through the forest, making as little noise as possible.

‘It’s not the enemy, is it? Please please..!’

It’s been a while since I prayed to the goddess. Because I felt like I was going crazy being alone in an unknown place. But my uneasy premonitions were always correct.

-Crrraaak!
– Haha! Great profit!

Hundreds and thousands of orcs were visible. Muscular monsters over 2 meters tall were screaming.

Cough! Kang!

Brandishing a clumsily made weapon. They fought with each other. Like people who are crazy about fighting.

As I looked at the orcs, I naturally frowned. There were too many numbers. When the green skin overlapped, it looked like waves.

‘Crazy guys..’

Sigh!

The fighting became more and more intense. It didn’t seem like a joke or fun. It was not uncommon to see people with limbs cut off or even dead.

I shook my head. There was no need to be somewhere like this. I tried to quietly retreat but stopped.

‘Uh?’

The moment you discover something. My whole body was shaking.

In the middle of the battle between orcs. I saw a large sphere emitting blue light.

‘Oh my god! ‘It’s a crack core!’

I clenched my fists. As expected, he was incredibly lucky. There is a core near where it accidentally fell.

If this is a crack, all you have to do is destroy that core. The rift would clear, and everyone who entered would be able to escape.

‘I become a hero!’

I observed the orc colony in detail. Thousands of orcs are scattered around the crack core.

Even if we broke through to the core in a straight line, it seemed like we would have to deal with at least hundreds of them.

‘Will it work…?’

If the orcs were fine, I wouldn’t have worried. They must have retreated immediately. But they fought each other like crazy. Those with intact limbs were rare.

‘I think it might be possible if we fight a little more… Ah!’

As I watched with bated breath, a sigh escaped me. The fight, which seemed to last forever, eventually subsided.

The orcs were spread out everywhere, probably from exhaustion.

‘It’s a shame. ‘Is there about half of what’s left?’

I looked at the remaining guys. If I was lucky, I would have to deal with about 100 to 200 of them.

When I was fiddling with the hilt of my sword and thinking about it.

Kwaang!!

Something huge fell from the sky like a meteor.

It’s twice as big as the others. Unusually, he was an orc with blue skin.

-Krhak! Fight more you idiots! Who gets to rest as they please!

Wow! Whoa!

He got caught in the middle of the orcs. Started beating up.

‘You’re crazy.. You’re even saying that?’

Monsters with their sanity are several times stronger than normal individuals.

Just as expected.

Ugh!

The blue orc’s fists were filled with strength. This means that it is at least a 7-star monster.

-If you are tired, die and rest! Crrraaak!

Cold sweat ran down my face. The blue orc had no mercy. He actually defeated the orcs to death.

My head got cold when I saw the abs that were clearer than a washboard and the ferocious chest muscles.

‘···I can’t win. ‘This is not it.’

No matter how brave you are, it would be foolish to charge into a place like that. It was no different from suicide. It was absolutely impossible to do it alone. I had to gather my group and come back.

Gulp.

I forced my stiffening legs to move. I carefully escaped, even paying attention to my breathing.

How long did you walk through the forest?

“Whoa!”

I let out the breath I had been holding. I wiped away the sweat that had formed on my forehead.

He was so nervous that his shoulders were sore. Before I knew it, my back was also wet. I didn’t do anything, but my whole body felt heavy like wet cotton.

‘Damn… Orcs are so strong. Does this make sense?’

I quietly took a breath. I had to get out of here immediately. As quickly as possible.

That time when I was trying to run away in a hurry.

“Ah taga!”

I screamed without realizing it. My ankles burned like they were on fire. It felt like my skin had been torn.

“Tsk!”

He hastily shook off his feet.

The black figure on my ankle flew out. It was a small bug that crawled up my shoe.

Looks like a mixture of ants and bees. It had a strange appearance.

“Profit!”

I was so annoyed. An insect the size of a fingernail can bite you!

My field of vision became increasingly narrow. My fingertips were shaking due to the rising anger.

‘Whoa..! Why is this happening all of a sudden? Let’s calm down.. Calm down..’

The moment I tried to calm down my anger. The bug that jumped out crawled like crazy.

‘This bastard…?’

It was absurd. If I had run away like a bug, they would have seen me. But instead, the guy rushed forward. He rushed at me like a mad dog with rabies.

Kwasik!

But what can bugs do? I trampled it and crushed it into small pieces.

“Kick!”

I killed the bug that was bothering me. Exhilaration filled my head. It was so thrilling that it sent shivers down my spine.

He grinned and then paused.

‘···What was I trying to do?’

I scratched my head. I couldn’t remember much, as if I was forgetful. It tickled as if I could not remember.

“Ha… I’m annoyed.”

When things didn’t go as I wanted, I naturally got annoyed. So much so that you want to grab someone and beat them up.

I looked everywhere, but there was no one. I became more and more annoyed for no reason.

“Ugh.. I’m annoyed! “It’s annoying!”

He clenched his fists and then jerked his head. He glared in the direction he had run from.

‘If you go there…’

There is an orc colony.

There are so many disgusting monsters that you will get kicked. You can fight to your heart’s content there.

Just imagining it made me excited. I was about to go to the colony right away but stopped.

Something was strange.

‘Wait a minute… You obviously gathered the group together… That’s not it! If they are there, my share will decrease. Let’s go alone.’

I put aside the question that suddenly arose.

I wanted to quickly go and fight. It didn’t matter who the opponent was.

***

Meanwhile.

Just as Kang Soo-ho fell into the forest.

Siwoo arrived at the wide meadow and narrowed her eyes.

‘This place…?’

I looked everywhere. The sky was full of pure white clouds, and green grass stretched all the way to the horizon.

It was an incredibly wide grassland.

The deepest part of the cave. The moment I arrived at a place filled with darkness. I felt like I was being sucked into somewhere.

When I came to my senses, I was in the middle of a meadow.

‘···Is it a crack?’

It wasn’t impossible. Cracks usually look like broken glass, but not all. There was also a unique crack, and in the first place, the crack was an unknown entity with more unknowns than knowns.

‘It may be a crack contaminated by the energy of foreign media.’

The worry was short-lived. There was something more important in the first place, so I focused on that.

‘We have to find Lydia first.’

Her safety was most important. She made it her top goal to join him.

Ugh!

I immediately activated the communication artifact. But unfortunately, no signal was detected.

I took out the communication tower from my inventory.

Quang!

The totem-like object was driven into the ground. If there is a communication tower, the signal is amplified several orders of magnitude. If there is no interference, continental communication is possible.

‘···This doesn’t work?’

For a fairly large crack, one communication tower would be enough, but that’s not possible. It was incredibly wide, and there seemed to be something blocking communication.

I frowned and kicked the ground. I chose the direction my intuition told me to go and ran.

Shhh!

I heard the sound of the wind blowing. It’s been a long time since I practiced the new law with all my might.

Ta-ta-ta-tat!

The body, which had become extremely light, flew away as if it were being shot. The grass that touched the soles of my feet did not break. The bent blade of grass actually bounced off the body. Even the weak semi-elasticity was fully utilized.

It was a portrait monument that reached its peak.

It quickly moved away from the communication tower it had installed. Before I knew it, I had arrived at a street that I couldn’t even see.

Quang!

She drove a new communications tower into the ground.

‘Just try until you succeed.’

If one is not enough, several. If that doesn’t work, you can install dozens or hundreds of them. It didn’t matter how wide this crack was.

Taaat!

I put all my mind into running. It’s been a long time since I ran with all my might like this. I feel like my body is getting lighter little by little. Following my instinct, I kicked the ground.

Hwii profit!

The speed gradually increased. The air passing by my skin was hot. The resistance of the air blocking my body became increasingly stronger.

The divine law of Muyeongsintu was used with utmost precision.

Whiiing!

Windshingyeol (風身結) is a method of running as one with the wind. The air barrier that was in the way slowly cleared the way.

-Kruk?!

Near the horizon. A wolf that happened to be blinded growled.

He was trying to kill himself, but he didn’t stop. Rather, the speed was increased. The guy that looked like a dot got closer in an instant.

-Craaaaagh!

The 3-meter-tall giant wolf opened its mouth wide. Left and right, not up and down. Instead of a tongue, sharp tentacles wiggled inside the mouth. It looked terrible.

The guy who was close to his nose swung his front paw.

Quaaaaang!

The ground cracked due to the slashing claws. It exploded as if a bomb had exploded.

Although it has great destructive power. If it didn’t fit, it had no meaning. The claws couldn’t even graze the collar.

-Kruk?

The wolf, who was about to make an additional hit, stopped. A short period of time, barely enough to swing your foot once.

The human being targeted has suddenly disappeared into the distance.

-Crrrr..

The wolf, who was licking his lips with regret, tilted his head. The raised leg dropped. And···.

Patter.

Starting from the legs to the shoulders. Everything was shattered. The huge wolf turned into a piece of meat and was scattered around.

They were slaughtered without even knowing that they were dead.
