Chapter 112 – Chapter 111- Balmung (3)
In an ordinary landscape, a round circle waving unnaturally.
As always after crossing the gate, anomaly came swiftly.
The rustling sound of the toes wearing desert shoes passes in my ears.
After taking a step, the figure inside the gate came in.
The hot sun and the crispy sand.
It was quite beautiful to see the ocher-colored fine mountains scattered and scattered in various places.
However, the beauty was short-lived, and the murderous heat of the desert penetrated her entire body.
“Everyone, turn on the cooling packs first.”
After I passed the gate first and gave advice to the women in the back.
I took out the ‘cooling pack’, an item contained in the pocket of the pouch that Saerom had taken care of, and activated it.
When I press the round blue ball, the ball spreads thinly and covers my entire body.
As if the stinging rays of sunlight just before was an illusion, a cold and moist feeling surrounded my body.
“Ah…! It’s fucking hot!”
Cheong-hwa, perhaps not listening to me, screams at the heat of the desert as she rushes into the gate.
I giggled and hurriedly took out the cooling pack from the pouch and activated it.
Could it be because of Cheonghwa’s screams, or because the personalities of the women who came after her were meticulous?
After that, all the women who came in safely entered the gate with their cooling packs activated.
“Now, as everyone said the other day, today’s goal is twofold.”
I stood in the lead and looked around at the women’s camp.
“The first is, of course, clearing the dungeon, and the second is…”
I rummaged through the subspace and took out the handle of ‘Balmung’, which is the purpose of the day.
Balmung, who came out into the world, took on the intense light of the desert and showed off his figure.
A luxurious handle made of gold, with a large blue jewel embedded in the center.
“It’s beautiful.”
The chairman praised Balmung for his appearance.
I continued with a shrug, as if I had been praised.
“I’m looking for the broken blade of ‘Balmung’, a sword that only has this handle.”
“… You. But is that possible?”
Violet asked me in a suspicious tone.
Violet’s two intelligent eyes were holding me and the desert, shaking at my nonsensical words.
And since I talked while expecting Violet’s reaction, I used my secret technique and swordsmanship with a grin.
‘Ego Sword.’
Fluffy.
The golden hilt rises slowly at my word.
“Whoa whoop… How is it?! My new ability.”
“…? Jo Jun, didn’t you just float it with the wind?”
As if Aris was curious about something, she asked me a question with her red eyes wide open.
However, as if Violet had noticed my secret technique, she pointed her finger at his sword in amazement.
“All.. You! There’s no mana around this sword? How did you float it?!”
“You’ve awakened another ability, Sir Joon.”
The chairman, who had a brave face, quickly recognized that this was my new ability and smiled brightly.
“A new… New ability?! You just learned a new ability…?!”
Violet is dyed in astonishment.
It is also violet.
As befits Violet, who has the most intense reaction among the female crew, that astonished expression was delicious no matter how you look at it.
“The ability I’ve come to realize this time around is the ability to float and move the sword at will, right?”
I swung the handle of the balmung a couple of times in the air like honey.
“With this ability, I can find the fragments of Balmung’s sword in the vast desert. As long as I have designated this sword, the scattered fragments are within my senses.”
Yes, this is the trick the angel said.
I changed the condition of the blooming weapon, which had to find out an unusual situation or satisfy difficult conditions, to match my ‘sword instructor’ job.
Rather than looking for a blade in the vast desert, it is a service to find a blade by looking at a map.
“Now then, shall we all set out? Let’s go find my sword and clear it.”
They laughed at my light tone.
But no one took it as a joke.
Pride in one’s own skills and trust in relying on each other.
This will that came from clearing several scenarios actually made it possible to clear this dungeon lightly.
“Okay…! Let’s go!”
Cheonghwa set off with the gallant horse.
On top of the endless sand dunes.
* *
It’s here.
My senses screamed at me.
There is a fragment of Balmung’s sword buried under this ground.
With a trembling heart, I scattered the sand of the desert with the elemental machine, and a shimmering knife fragment came up from under it.
“Oh… Oh!”
With admiration, I looked at the fragment of the knife clinging to Balmung’s handle.
It was only a small silver blade attached to the shiny golden handle, but the feeling was already different.
The shattered shards illuminated by sunlight create an eerie glare.
It was so beautiful, but oddly, it also coexisted with a sense of spookiness.
“How can I say… It’s pretty, but it’s creepy for some reason.”
Violet looked at my balmung with an uneasy expression, probably thinking the same thing as me.
“Well, if it’s creepy, it has its own merits.”
I smiled broadly despite Violet’s concerns and looked at my newly reborn Balmung.
Imagining in my head what Balmung would look like if I collected 5 more in the future.
Hehe!”
You are my second child
I laughed like a madman and hugged Balmung tightly.
Violet looked at me like that in disgust.
But I didn’t care and continued the act of affection.
“Uh…?! Isn’t that Oasis?”
Just as I was about to rub Balmung into my cheek, Cheonghwa raised her finger and taught me one side.
As I moved my sight along that direction, I saw an oasis in the distance, just as Cheonghwa had said.
The blue water in the land made of ocher-colored land reflected the sunlight, and vegetation and trees were growing around it.
At first glance, it is an oasis that can only be seen in pictures, but there was one thing that stood out.
That is, the tree is a dry tree without a single leaf.
“Found.”
I grinned and looked at the oasis over there.
That is the key to clearing this dungeon.
“What is that? Wasn’t that empty? If it’s a desert, isn’t that kind of empty?!”
I’m a little disappointed in what Cheong-hwa imagined.
“I have a cooling pack, how can it be in vain. Everyone follow me, let’s go over there!”
Me and the ladies approached the oasis.
Then, gradually, the oasis began to be clearly visible.
“Is something strange?”
Qinghua senses an unusual change and muttered.
Not only Cheonghwa, but all the women were watching the oasis with their eyes narrowed, as if they realized that something was wrong with that oasis.
Skinny trees surrounding the oasis.
Everyone realized that that tree was strange.
“Aim Joon… That.”
Aris looked at me with her red eyes shining.
Those bright red eyes were filled with hostility.
I smiled at Aris and nodded her head.
“Oh, right. That’s it.”
At my words, Aris gnawed her teeth and gave a bloody smile.
With her bright red pigtails dancing, Aris strode towards the oasis alone.
“Uh… Uh?! Where are you going by yourself?”
As Violet watched Aris advance, I tried to stop her, but I quietly stopped her.
“It’s okay, because if you’re Aris right now, you can do that much.”
“No, what is that?”
Violet asked me back.
Cheonghwa tilts her head as if curious.
However, the president and the vice president nodded their heads with faces locked in memories, as if they knew the identity of that thing.
“Because… I’ve saved a school before?”
I also explained to Violet, reminding me of my previous memories.
“But, because of some bad guy, did you come out because you shouldn’t?”
Now, the angels hold the real power, but at that time, the difficulty of the underworld was sharply increased in order to skip the causal rate through the management team’s trick.
So, the devil who appeared and could not appear.
“That’s when Aris became dangerous to that guy, so I fell into danger instead.”
As Aris approached the oasis, her skinny tree began to move.
Gigg. Gigg.
Suddenly, the trunk of the tree twists and begins to change its shape.
The changing appearance was as if a human shape was roughly put together with tinfoil.
“So it is.”
Dry tree.
A high-ranking fiend that can’t appear in the early stages.
The devil that gave Aris a ‘feeling of helplessness’ when she faced it.
The fiend that first made Aris question her own abilities and make her grit her teeth and try.
Eventually, after a while, the demon reappeared before Aris’ eyes.
Aris raised her red eyes and raised the uji she was holding in her hand.
Geek.
A stump with nothing of her face part looks back at Aris.
Aris smiled ferociously.
Unlike before, Aris’ eyes were overflowing with confidence that could be called arrogance, not powerlessness.
Drurrrr-!
As Uzi’s magazine is emptied, he hides himself in the withered body of an old tree.
Each bullet filled with mana bullets pierced the solid body and stirred the inside of the tree’s body.
Gigi Gig…!
The trees built in the oasis raised my body from being stuck in the desert and moved to Aris.
Every time the twisted stems moved, they made a twisting sound, as if they were screaming as they approached Aris.
Clap.
Aris stirs the uji in her hands once.
Then, the barrel split and light burst out, and Uzi swallowed the light and transformed into a new firearm.
Two large sniper rifles.
Aris put the two sniper rifles toughly over her shoulders and blinked her eyes once.
Another blush is overlaid on the red eyes.
The shooter’s skill ‘Bullet Time’ was activated.
Equipped with your own world, assigning time and transcending the senses, Shooter’s own time.
During that time, Aris circulated mana and condensed her bullets.
Large caliber bullets inflate by eating blue mana.
However, it is soon condensed again by the mana cycle.
Within the time allocated in that way, the blue-tinged bullets moved with Aris’ fingers.
Tick-.
A very small trigger-pulling sound.
Bang-!
A flash of blue light followed.
Two blue lines spun from the muzzle of the sniper rifle, smashing the withered tree in the lead.
The two bullets bore holes, and with their rotation they bit everything around them.
And it kept moving forward.
Puck-! Puck-! Puck-!
All the withered trees in a straight line burst out.
The withered old trees on either side of her came closer to Aris as if they were angry at the death of her colleague.
“Wheek-!”
Aris quietly whistled.
Then, the blue bullet that passed through the dry old tree turned around as if it were alive.
‘Homing shot.’
Like a hawk, the two bullets gracefully turned and hit the back of the withered tree again.
The two bullets hunt the withered tree.
The dry old trees continued to advance towards Aris, but the number gradually decreased.
Gee… Giggig!
Time passes, and a withered old tree approaches Aris and stretches out her twisted trunk.
Aris calmly blinked and switched the sniper rifle in her right hand to a shotgun.
Device Geek…!
Her stem slowly approached Aris’ body, but Aris raised her shotgun limply as if it were a nuisance.
Bang-!
She poured dozens of mana bullets into the dry old tree’s face.
The last withered tree lies helplessly in the desert.
And Aris steps on the dry old tree that has fallen in front of her with one foot and looks back at me.
“Jojuna, how are you?”
The appearance of a confident girl who overcame her previous trauma.
The way Aris looked at me charismatically, with her red hair fluttering, was the best.
“Insanely sexy.”
At my words, Aris licked her lips, and vigorously swung her hair behind her head.
Okay, let’s have sex when we get to Aris’ house.
Just like when I first met Aris, I made up my mind again.
