Chapter 58 – Episode 58. Dungeon Practice Training (2)

When I opened my eyes, it was an unfamiliar ceiling.

“Ugh, it’s cold.”

I got up from the cold cave floor. Next to me was Baek Ah-young, who was turning and moaning.

Baek Ah-young also got up and looked around, perhaps coming to her senses.

“This, what is this… Indiscriminate warfare, this is an absurd level of runaway…”

Koo Woo-

The size of the dungeon itself increased and the mana density increased.

Of course, the monsters that came out would have gotten a little stronger.

“Ayoung-san, calm down for now.”

I met eyes with Baek A-young, who was trembling with anxiety like a puppy wet in the rain.

“Uh, uh uh, because I’m here. Don’t worry, Hoyeon-ah.”

“You can’t fight, Ahyeong.”

“That’s true…! I can help you recover!”

Baek Ah-young could not hide the trembling of her body. Well, even if it’s like me, I think it would be helpless if I fell into a dungeon with one student.

Even if he had no fighting power, he would be more anxious.

“First of all, let’s move. Even if I look like this, I’m a little strong. Did you see the news that I caught Mine?”

“Of course. You received the award as well. But, wouldn’t it be better to stay here than to walk around? It might be dangerous.”

It’s best to stay still to get through this runaway quietly.

This is because they know the future, when rescuers will arrive in two days.

Before that, I have to pick up Baek Ah-yeong’s maiden. It’s good to move around to create a situation.

“I don’t have time to wait for rescue right now. I’d rather join another cadet or healer team.”

“Mmmm, okay. Let’s do as you say.”

Baek Ah-young had a confused look on her face, but she did as I said.

I was the one with the power, so my opinion is respected.

However, he couldn’t hide the uneasiness on his face. I feel like I don’t believe in my power.

Maybe, the country may not trust people. To be honest, I’m familiar with Baek Ah-young from the game, but the Baek Ah-young in front of me hasn’t been in a relationship with me in real life.

First of all, I need to build trust with Baek Ah-young.

I took the lead and Baek Ah-young watched the rear, slowly exploring the dungeon.

“Wait.”

“Yes.”

Chuchuchu!

Chajajajak!

It wasn’t long before I heard a huge flap of wings in front of the aisle.

“This sound… Sounds like a swarm of cave bats. Let’s get back.”

“I can’t escape because it’s a straight passage anyway. I’ll just deal with it.”

“We have to run away. I heard more than 20 of them.”

“It’s really okay. Just watch.”

I calmed Baek Ah-young, who was anxious because she didn’t know my strength.

I extracted a little mana and created a fireball and sent it slowly forward.

Doo doo doo!

The sphere of fire, which lit up the weak fire, collided with a huge number of bats and was scattered with mana.

What about 20? It’s over 50, but this?

“Birds, there are a lot more than I thought! Run away!”

Krrr! Chuchuchu!

The swarms of cave bats are now in sight.

There were surprisingly many. It was inefficient to process by burning alone.

‘I can’t. I’ll just go with all my might.’

Baek A-young was the only one watching anyway, so I thought it would be okay.

Shall we take this opportunity to raise our credibility?

“Whoa, I can’t help it.”

“Hoyeonah! Run away while I stop you!”

Baek Ah-yeong blocked my way, spread her arms crosswise and closed her eyes tightly.

Why is this person suddenly like this?

The bats saw us and attacked us.

At the same time, I created a whirlwind from my hand.

A small storm shot forward from his hand.

The flying bats could not slow down and were sucked into the whirlwind.

Roaring-!

And with the other hand, he created fifteen fireballs and threw them into the whirlwind.

It was a double casting.

The bats, which flew in and were caught in the whirlwind, burned as a huge flame.

The bats that somehow escaped one by one were shot down with a flame spear.

“Uh…?”

Baek Ah-young, who was blocking my way with his arms outstretched, widened his eyes.

The act of trying to greet me instead of me is really commendable, but the bats couldn’t even come near me and burned to death.

But what surprised Baek Ah-yeong was my magic rather than the sight of all the bats being burned to death.

In the world, I am known as a fire attribute mage. It was because he had intentionally only used flame magic so far.

In addition, the double casting I am learning is a dream magic that any magician would like to master. It is so advanced that even active magicians have not mastered it properly.

These are my secrets that I have kept hidden from others.

Of course, it’s only a small part of my secrets, but from Baek A-young’s point of view, this alone would be a huge secret.

It’s embarrassing to suddenly learn such secrets.

If I had been a really bad guy, I might have killed Baek A-young and silenced him.

Of course, I never intend to do that.

“Ayoung, I told you to trust me, right?”

I smiled at Baek A-young, who was so embarrassed that she couldn’t speak.

Baek A-young finally relaxed her and opened her mouth.

“Hoyeoni you…! This is enough for me to go!”

Baek Ah-young realized that I was stronger than she thought, and she smiled as if she saw hope.

Done. Baek A-young had hope for me.

In other words, it means that I have come to believe in myself a little more.

“Ayoung, please don’t tell anyone what you just saw.”

Seeing Baek Ah-young like that, I hardened my expression.

To be honest, it doesn’t matter if this much of a secret is known. It’s not that I’m known to be able to use all attributes, and at least two are surprisingly common.

Of course, double casting is a bit risky, but… This can also be covered by Im Sol.

In any case, being a friend who shares a hunter’s secret is not so light.

Unusual skills or unique powers, etc.

Things that could become a weakness if others knew about them, are not shared among talented people.

Because you never know when you’ll stab yourself in the back. You have to hide the little bit of power you have.

Now Baek A-young has learned my secret.

“I believe in A-Young. I haven’t seen A-Young for that long, but I feel he’s a good person.”

Baek A-young listened quietly to my words.

“I’ll do my best to escape. So… Let’s survive together.”

“Yeah. Don’t worry. I’ll do my best.”

Baek Ah-yeong, who looked at me with bright eyes, seemed to trust me a little more than she did at the beginning.

*

How long did it take She had been exploring for quite some time, but she could not see the exit, let alone anyone else.

‘Fuck, is it like this?’

I only knew that I was transferred due to terrorism, and I was a little anxious because I didn’t know the details, but there were no monsters that could threaten me in this dungeon, so I kept moving forward.

“Whoa… Whoa…”

The sound of Baek A-young’s breathing following me behind me gets rougher and louder.

Healers are inherently weak. She was forced to stop her feet in a clearing to take a break.

“Ayoung, it’s a bit difficult. Would it be okay if I take a break here?”

“Yeah, thank you. Ha…”

“No. I’m having a hard time too.”

I took my seat in the middle of the clearing and began to meditate.

There were several battles on the way here, so I used up a lot of mana.

Kekekek… Krukreuk…

As soon as the meditation was over, the goblins approached the clearing as if they had promised.

“I’ll use up all the mana I’ve filled up again.”

Kwakwawang!

The goblins turned to ashes and disappeared without even coming close.

“Hoyeon-ah, are you okay? You’re not overdoing it, are you?”

“Yes I’m okay.”

Although the dungeon has been strengthened, there are no opponents who can pose a threat to me.

But that was the problem.

Baek Ah-young’s taste is unique.

She has to attack herself, who is in a state where she cannot move a finger because the severely injured ‘man’ she treated herself has lost her strength due to the treatment.

In addition, even though Baek A-young treated her, it is necessary to set up that the man could not stand the rising sexual desire and acted according to his instincts.

Even if you leave out the mental problems, there are physical problems.

I have to suffer a serious injury to the extent that Baek A-young puts all her energy into it.

That would have to rupture most of the intestines.

Fortunately, Baek A-young’s stamina dropped a lot while walking through the dungeon, so it seems like it’ll only take one big wound… It’s strange to suddenly get hit by bats that I used to burn with a single spell, and I need to think about it.

“How did this happen…?”

Baek Ah-yeong hugged her knees and said depressedly.

I know that I will be rescued in two days at the latest, but Baek A-young must be anxious.

We have no food to eat right now, so we have to starve.

I was going to bring food for this situation, but I couldn’t bring it because there was an inspection of my belongings.

“It’s okay. I am the future archmage. I have to survive somehow.”

“…Kuh. Yes. I’ll trust you. I’m sorry for not acting like an adult.”

“No. If I had fallen alone, I would have been very anxious, but thanks to Ayoung, I am not lonely.”

Baek Ah-yeong still looked a little tired because she couldn’t breathe.

But here she shouldn’t be allowed to fully recover her stamina.

She has to heal me and pass out from exhaustion.

To do that, she had to cut some of her stamina.

“Shall we start soon? I don’t have a clock, so I don’t know what time it is, but I think we should leave quickly. Monsters are coming here as well.”

“Yes. Let’s go.”

Baek A-young stood up without showing any signs of hardship.

We started walking again.

The more I moved forward, the more I came out was the same cave wall.

Even if I don’t know the exact time, I probably walked for several hours, but does it make sense that no one runs into me?

It seems that the dungeon has become filthy wide, or there is something I don’t know about. I don’t know exactly.

The conversations that often passed between us also disappeared.

The cave forced us to have such a still atmosphere.

At that time when we could only hear each other breathing,

“Quaaaaagh!”

Suddenly, a human scream was heard from afar.

I turned her head, met her eyes with Baek Ah-young, and ran towards her.

“Quaaaaa!”

Pushuk! Puffy!

There was a terrible scream and the sound of something being crushed.

“Quaaaaagh!”

After a while, the terrible screams were no longer heard.

But another sound came.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

I heard the sound of a huge creature walking in my ears. Its steady steps made me guess that it was a humanoid monster.

The direction was straight ahead, and the distance from which the sound could be heard quickly narrowed.

Baek Ah-yeong, as if she could hear it now, joined right behind me.

“Chur-uh!”

“Oh, that’s it!”

An ugly, gigantic figure fills my field of vision.

It’s a bad head, but it’s a high-level monster with strong strength and vitality.

In one hand, he was holding the body of a cadet torn in half. It was the first cruel corpse I had ever seen, but my mental strength was not that weak.

“Grrr-!”

The ogre’s ignorant intent to kill poured out on me.

Shuwook!

The ogre threw the cadet’s corpse at me.

‘Cotton guard.’

I blocked the filthy corpse and looked at Baek A-young behind me.

“Ho, Hoyeonah. Are you okay?”

As Baek Ah-yeong is also an active hunter, she was not surprised to see the corpse.

Rather, I was concerned about my mental state.

But I was more alert than ever.

Pounding.

It’s a familiar feeling.

Pounding.

The sense of battle that fills the body speaks. He said that the ogre in front of him was filthy strong.

Pounding. Pounding.

My body gets as hot as when I was dealing with Felix, no more than that.

The ogre was stronger than Felix, a two-horned horse.

Ogres are often expressed in a strangely strong way in the game. To be honest, I would like to know how strong a stupid bastard who is only strong can be, but when I met him in real life, it was really fucked up.

The pressure that comes from the gigantic size and grim face is no joke.

If Guraanchigo gets hit by one, it seems like it will turn into Bindaetteok.

Fuck. Why are you making it hard by setting it up so hard? Make it weak

“Ho, Hoyeonah. I really have to run away this time. Really!”

“Can I live if I run away?”

“I’ll stop you. In the meantime, run away. You, at least one year younger, have to live!”

“Okay. What a difference.”

This person really wants to look mature. Even though I’m not very old.

I pushed Baek Ah-young back and stood in front.

“Ho, Ho Yeon-ah…!”

I don’t know why such a monster is in this dungeon.

It seems that stronger monsters came out as much as the mana density increased.

I can’t run away from Baek A-young anyway.

If the heroine Baek Ah-yeong dies, I will die because of the main quest failure.

Then you have to fight

“Wait a moment. We’ll take care of it soon.”

Pounding.

‘Open eyes’

I raised the mana all over my body.
