Chapter 59 – Episode 59. Dungeon Practice Training (3)

Kreur…

The ogre slowly moved its head as if observing me.

At the same time, my heart started beating fast.

It is a precursor to combat sense.

Now I got used to the feeling of combat.

Pounding.

The ogre you see in front lives by entrusting itself to its instincts.

Instinctive destruction and plunder, preying on what is in hand, destroying what moves.

This stupid monster knows nothing, but is full of useless curiosity.

That’s why I always observe something I see for the first time.

It is because he has the confidence that it will not be too late to counterattack only when an attack comes.

So now, while the ogre is still watching me, he has to give me a shot.

Mana was slowly condensed in his body so that the ogre wouldn’t find out.

The moment mana moves outside the body, the ogre will attack.

So, you have to instantiate a magic circle and deal damage when the ogre doesn’t recognize it.

It was my specialty, so I was confident.

Three seconds ahead.

The ogre is still looking at me. Now, he was also paying attention to Baek Ah-young from behind.

‘Done!’

Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

In an instant, the completed magic circles emit magic.

With one hand, he aimed at the ogre’s eye and fired a fireball.

The blades of the wind flew towards the ogre’s belly and ripped through his skin.

Bang! Bang! Fu Shu Woo-

The smoke from the fireball enveloped the ogre, and after a while the figure of the ogre appeared with his arms covering his face.

“Ha, this is a complete crazy bastard.”

Surprisingly, the arm covering his face was clean without a single abrasion.

There was only one small scratch on the belly where dozens of knives had been hacked.

The ogre groaned and let out a displeasure.

Coo uh oh!

The ogre vented his anger by stamping his foot.

Now they have completely recognized me as the enemy.

Coo uh!

The ogre, his red-eyed eyes, came running towards me and brandished his fist.

He didn’t want to get too close to the drool.

I glanced back.

Baek Ah-young was looking at me, shivering.

Quickly rotates mana in the mana circuit.

I jumped forward while using ‘Acceleration’.

If Baek Ah-yeong was not to be harmed, she would rather fight in front.

Thud! Bang!

While avoiding the ogre’s fist, I moved away from Baek A-young and the battlefield.

Coo uh!

Booung-!

My hair fluttered at the fist of the ogre that passed in front of me.

If you get it right, the ribs will come out unconditionally.

I gathered mana again while slowly guiding the ogre away from Ayoung Baek.

‘What should I do?’

Her skin is so hard that it’s hard to damage her with my magic.

There was neither time nor magic to prepare high-level magic.

In that case, high destructive power with little magic power was required.

Pounding.

Heart accelerates rapidly

His body felt the ogre’s hot breath and evaded the attack, but his head was cold as he thought about countermeasures.

In order to exert high destructive power with little mana, you must attack from close range.

That way, the waste of power that occurs while flying disappears.

In addition, you need to increase the attack speed with ‘Acceleration’ to maximize efficiency.

The strands are caught.

There are two things I can do.

Insert a fist reinforced with magical power into the ogre’s stomach.

Or create a new type of magic that can hurt the ogre and stick it into his stomach.

Fortunately, unlike the ogre who was hit by a fireball and not a single soot, the wind blade had a few scratches.

The breakthrough was there.

Big!

I lowered my head to avoid the ogre’s fist flying at my head.

At the same time, mana was condensed in his hand.

Magic was extracted in the same spiral form as when making the cotton guard.

The spiral form that pursues solid defense, conversely, can be the strongest means of attack.

It puts the will of sharpness into solid magic power.

Although the mana has been sharpened, it is no different from a wind blade.

The magical power twisted into a spiral is condensed while rotating into a sphere.

The spiral orb, which rotates at great speed, will gnaw away at the ogre’s skin, albeit bit by bit.

Cooong!

The ogre’s arm strikes my side once more.

‘The next attack will pierce it.’

They intentionally kept their distance close and induced large movements.

The stupid ogre fell for my intentions and lowered his hands to the floor.

Thud!

‘Acceleration’

The spiral orb spinning from his hand was driven into the side of the ogre who was trying to lift his hand from the floor.

“Chur uh uh-!”

Cadde deug-!

The hard outer shell was sheared little by little with a brutal sound.

The moment when the ogre’s side was covered in blood and the softer inner skin came out.

A large crack appeared in the ogre’s stomach.

If the skin breaks even a little, it’s over.

My magic power dug deep into the inside and rotated, slicing through the inner skin.

Ogre blood and fragments scattered across the dungeon floor.

“It’s over.”

Thud!

The ogre died with a large hole in his stomach.

──『Spiral』 ──
▶ Unique skill

▶Magic power is twisted into a triple helix to make it hard, and then compressed into a sphere that turns into a spiral.
A very high level of magic power control is required. It is more destructive when hit close than when thrown.
───────

“Spiral?”

Only melee skills that I don’t want appear.

Fuck. This is not what I think, really.

“Hoyeonah! You, you! What were you thinking fighting the ogres!”

Baek A-young came to me with a worried face and asked me.

“We can’t abandon Ah-young. We’d rather die together.”

“… You!”

On the outside, he seems angry, but Baek A-young doesn’t seem to be in a bad mood.

It would be nice if I could increase the likability here, but my condition right now makes no sense.

My head is dizzy, mana exhaustion might come. You need to quickly fill your body with mana.

“I’m going to meditate for a while. Please escort me.”

“Uh, yes. I’ll tell you right away when someone comes.”

Baek Ah-yeong was used as a human alarm and her mana was filled with her meditation.

Mana was so low that she had just used up most of it in a fight.

Still, my meditation efficiency is high, so it will be over soon.

“Whoa…”

He closed his eyes and slowly began to absorb the mana around him.

*

“Student President, wait a minute. I understand everything, but calm down!”

“Get out of the way. I need to see this human right now.”

“Hey! Oh!”

Moon Soo-rin pushed the secretary guarding the chairperson’s office and entered the chairperson’s office.

“Surin, what is it?”

I saw a white-haired man reclining on the sofa from the seat of honor.

He looked at Moon Su-rin and put on a happy expression.

“Is it time to have a leisurely coffee? The cadets are trapped in the dungeon?”

However, Moon Su-rin poured out her dissatisfaction as if she had no interest in such a man’s gaze.

People were locked up right now because of the runaway dungeon, but it wasn’t the time to be leisurely here.

“…Surin-ah. You’re not saying that you don’t know that I just finished summoning a rescue team, providing materials, and even assigning wizards, right? And I didn’t even drink coffee.”

“I know everything. But do you have time to rest? The cadets are locked up?

“I did the best I could. Don’t you know?”

“No. Go out with your body.”

“…Surin!”

Talking about his body was taboo.

However, Moon Su-rin was not in a position to cover herself.

Hoyeon Lee. His heart skipped a beat when he heard the news that he was locked up in a dungeon.

Only then did he admit that he had feelings for Lee Ho-yeon.

And at the same time as I realized my heart, I threw away all of today’s work and ran to the director’s office.

Seeing Moon Soo-rin’s well-returned eyes, the chairman also thought that he should calm down for now.

“All the experts have been called, and many active hunters are going to be put in to search. Don’t worry and wait.”

“No. If the chairman doesn’t go, I’ll go myself.”

“Why on earth are you doing this? Are there any guys you like among the first year students?”

“That, that’s not it! Bird, aren’t all the cadets members of our Victoria Academy!”

“…”

The director’s face began to harden rapidly.

The reaction was that he turned his head to an empty place, made eye contact, and ran away.

He has often seen her granddaughter react this way.

This is the reaction you make when you want to change the subject of conversation.

“Uh, anyway! I’ll go in myself, so know that! And I’ll strike until the case is over.”

“Su, Surin! Without you, the academy won’t work!”

“That’s not my business. What’s important right now is the runaway dungeon. I need to maximize the search scale and recruit additional hunters.”

“That, isn’t it all the academy budget!”

“The money I made must be much more than this.”

Moon Soo-rin glared at the chairman, spat out cold words, and left the chairman’s office.

The chairman felt frustrated. Who the hell is that man to make my granddaughter go this far?

In my long life experience, this kind of guy doesn’t die easily.

What kind of Goyan he is, I want to see his face once he escapes from the dungeon. It was the chairman who thought that.

*

“I think I’ll live for a bit now. Thank you.”

“Yeah, no. I’m living well thanks to you.”

We explored the dungeon in a friendly atmosphere.

After catching the ogre, my confidence rose considerably.

Apparently, ogres are monsters that even active hunters have a hard time catching alone.

Since I caught such a monster by myself, it’s something to be proud of. Huh?

“Still, there won’t be monsters higher than ogres. In the first place, ogres were at a level that made no sense…”

It doesn’t make sense for an ogre to appear in a dungeon where kobolds used to appear.

It seems that I wrote something in the Mine Group Pandemic, but it was frustrating because I had no memory of it appearing in the original work.

“Is that so? Fortunately out of misfortune…”

Thud. Thud.

“Oh, fuck.”

Without realizing it, I cursed in front of Baek Ah-young.

Fortunately, Baek A-young didn’t seem to hear it.

Thud. Thud.

Baek Ah-young was also too busy listening to my self-talk as she listened to these ominous footsteps.

Even, these footsteps were not one.

Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump.

Two. Two ogres were walking.

Pounding.

The sense of battle boils over again. But it’s okay.

I had already caught it once, so honestly, I wasn’t scared.

The way to catch a stupid ogre is no different.

After avoiding a simple attack with ‘Acceleration’, insert a ‘Spiral’ into the belly button and you’re done.

Of course, there were details that were different from the description, but that was the big outline.

Chur-!

The ogre’s voice gets closer and closer.

This time, I wanted to cut down on one from the beginning.

Baek A-young’s stamina is at a dangerous level, so she has to finish it quickly and find a place to rest.

‘Spiral’

Created a spiral orb in her hand.

‘Acceleration.’

And accelerated the mana around her body.

Gathering magic on her toes, he waited until she got closer.

Kurr-!

Right before the ogre and I were caught in sight of each other, the eye strengthened by ‘opening eyes’ caught the ogre one step ahead.

Kwakwawang!

He jumped at the ogre, receiving such momentum that the floor beneath his feet exploded.

Cre?

The ogre finally recognized me, but it wasn’t a high-level creature enough to block my attack, which was sped up with ‘Acceleration’.

Hey, kueek-!

“I’m searching. This baby.”

One ogre had a hole in its stomach, and it collapsed, vomiting blood.

Whoa, whoa?!

And as soon as the remaining one saw that the guy standing next to him became soft tofu, he recognized me and came to swing his club.

Pounding.

My battle sense was speaking.

Now adapt to these simple attacks.

I lightly dodged the club and prepared the spiral.

Now you can put this on your stomach or face.

“Chur!”

An ogre swings his club and, unable to contain his anger, comes swinging his fist.

I thought about it as I was dodging the ogre’s fist flying in accelerated space and about to drive the spiral into his face.

‘This is my last chance.’

Now the ogre is swinging his fist at me. My speed is much faster.

At this speed, you could end an ogre’s life by smashing his head with a spiral before he gets hit by his fists.

But that wasn’t my goal.

I didn’t come here just to catch monsters. The target is Baek Ah-young.

If it wasn’t this time, there was no other chance.

Unlike the beginning, now the mana concentration in the dungeon is almost stable. At this level of mana density, there was no way there could be a monster stronger than two ogres.

In the first place, even an ogre is a spec that doesn’t make sense, but there’s no way it’ll come out beyond that.

I had already killed an ogre right in front of Baek Ah-young.

But the one who easily caught one ogre gets a wound right before dying from other monsters? It was such an awkward story.

After all, this is your last chance.

The point where the opponent is two ogres.

Anyway, if Baek Ah-yeong is there, she won’t die.

‘You have to do it. No, I have to.’

In the end, in order to attack Baek A-young, this situation had to be present.

I watched the ogre’s fist slowly fly by, and slowed down my spiral hand slightly.

Even if I was hit by an ogre, I put my heart and soul into a position where the spiral would already kill the ogre.

Kwajik-! Pushuwook-!

First, I was hit by the ogre’s fist, and immediately after that, the ogre’s head was torn to pieces.

The ogre’s blood splattered in the air, smearing fragments on my body.

“Kuhup…! Kkeok…”

And blood started coming out of my mouth too.

Sick. It really hurts like going back. Fuck.

The ribs, it seems that the intestines are all torn.

“Ho, Hoyeonah…! No!”

Still, seeing Baek A-young running, the plan was a success.
