Chapter 103 – Episode 103 – Exciting School Trip (19)
Inside the dungeon where a whitish light glows.
A group of about 7 people was walking forward.
“If this task is successfully completed, it will be a great achievement for you.”
Meanwhile, a soft, sweet voice echoed through the cave.
Middle of the crowd.
Let the phoenix with long vermilion hair speak.
The man in the lead was wearing horn-rimmed glasses.
“Is that so.”
The man’s voice, which was quite plain, did not look happy.
The phoenix drew a smile full of anticipation as if it didn’t matter.
“Yes, even you who are greedy can be quite satisfied with it, so don’t worry.”
Jerk, jerk.
Soobok Lee.
The homeroom teacher of the transcendence class Kang Kang-jun belonged to, he blankly touched his horn-rimmed glasses.
Then he took out a golden pocket watch from his bosom.
Click.
When I opened the pocket watch, I saw a child with a childish smile.
Seeing him smiling brightly.
Lee Soo-bok muttered calmly.
“Do you know what they said when I first came over here?”
“Yes?”
At Lee Soo-bok’s words, the phoenix tilted her head.
“When we recruited you?”
“……”
It was a silence that would normally be considered rude.
The phoenix, who was in such a good mood, smiled intriguingly and questioned.
“Well. It’s not me who brought you here in the first place, it’s just the opinion of my subordinates. It’s not me who went to recruit you, it’s just your subordinates… But can we guess?”
Lee Soo-bok still has no answer.
However, the phoenix got lost in his own thoughts and spat out an answer.
“Well, isn’t it like this. How long will you stay there? If you come over, you’ll guarantee a lot of things. Isn’t it?”
After hearing the phoenix’s answer, Lee Soo-bok spat out the words slowly.
“You’re right.”
“Yeah, usually the more common the proposal, the more attracted. I can’t help but be greedy.”
The phoenix smiled.
It was a laugh closer to sympathy than a mockery.
“Because wanting to rise high is close to instinct. When you first came over here, I didn’t really pay much attention.”
The phoenix stroked his chin and was lost in thought.
“At what point did you suddenly start to stand out?”
“……”
This time, Soo-bok Lee was silent, but one of the phoenix’s subordinates, who was uncomfortable with this, answered.
“That’s right. As the first result, we announced a study that could twist the dungeon.”
“Yes, I’ve been keeping an eye on you ever since. I could see your desire to rise.”
The phoenix nodded his head in satisfaction.
“I really liked studying things around me as if they were consumables.
After looking up at the dungeon once, the phoenix asked Soo-bok Lee, who was still silent.
“So why do you want to hear what I said when I recruited you? Do you want to remember the first moment in honor of this achievement of creating a dungeon?”
“No.”
Lee Soo-bok quietly expressed his intention to refuse.
“Yes?”
The phoenix wriggled his eyebrows and expressed an uncomfortable expression.
Nevertheless, Lee Soo-bok walked out in front of him and spit out his words.
“I just wanted to point out that the first sentence was wrong.”
“What does that mean?”
Let the phoenix express displeasure in a low voice.
Lee Soo-bok slowly stopped walking.
“It’s just that everything went wrong. That I fell for that side, and that that side recruited me.”
The phoenix, realizing that the place where he had stopped was an isolated space blocked by a wall, realized something was strange and hardened his expression.
“Lee Soo-bok. What are you thinking…”
Lee Soo-bok turned his head.
Tears of blood were streaming down his eyes.
Squeak.
The only road the phoenix passed through was surrounded by a wall.
There was no way out, and Lee Soo-bok was brainwashed in this place that had turned into a blocked vacant lot.
“I tried to forget everything. From the beginning, there was no one’s fault, so I decided not to hold grudges. But the moment I realized the truth, the moment there was an obvious culprit.”
A black line and a white line protruded from the bottom of the Lee Soo-bok.
Even though they, like the veins of the dungeon, pierced the soles of my feet and pierced my blood vessels, revealing themselves on the flesh.
Lee Soo-bok calmly shed tears of blood.
“How can I not resent it? And how can I forgive myself for going under that sinner?”
Thump, thump.
The black and white lines that penetrated Lee Soo-bok’s body swelled.
Lee Soo-bok, who had covered his body in shimmering black as his flesh burst, pushed the pocket watch he was holding in his hand into his bosom.
“You must die. I will die as well. So.”
Lee Soo-bok laughed miserably.
“Let’s pay for our sins here.”
Shred.
When his horn-rimmed glasses draped over his nose shattered, Lee Soo-bok’s appearance was shattered.
It was like a monster that existed in a dungeon, not a human.
* *
While running frantically to save the phoenix, Miho asked.
“Han Jun-ah, but the phoenix side is on the other side, so can we go this way?”
The vacant lot where the first course of the exam ended.
In response to the question asking if he would have to pass through the place where Kim Ji-hye and Chuck Da-yoon were fighting in order to find the phoenix and the teacher who had moved into it.
I swung my bankruptcy sword.
“Oh, this dungeon is twisted.”
Blah blah
The wall on the side I cut was cracked.
This would have been impossible in a normal dungeon, but as I just said, this dungeon was twisted.
That’s why it was possible to draw out these places in my head where yang and yin were intertwined with a bankrupt sword.
“Let’s go.”
It pops out to the side and draws out the floor again.
Blah blah
The black thread and the white thread were exposed, and in an instant the bottom layer was revealed.
It’s coming soon.
A secluded place where yin and yang are intertwined.
To get there.
“Found.”
Eventually, I found a wall that was strangely wrapped around the wall.
Because if you split this place apart, you don’t know what will happen inside.
I first looked back and left a warning.
“First of all, you know our goal, right? To hold on. Never overdo it.”
I sent a message to Kim Ji-hye on my cell phone.
I have also reached out to other places that may be able to help.
So, our goal was to block the teacher’s plan to kill the phoenix somehow in the meantime.
“Never overdo it.”
After giving another warning, I cut through the wall with the bankrupt knife.
When the wall was split, white lines and black lines were revealed, and at the same time, the inside was revealed.
Whoop!
A great heat swept over my whole body.
My vision went dry in an instant, and I could have reflexively blinked my eyes.
I couldn’t help but open my eyes to the scene in front of me.
This is because the phoenix in front of me was dripping flames from all over.
“It will rot.”
That flame was like blood to the phoenix.
Although his life force was dripping to the floor, the phoenix fluttered his wings coldly with his eyes wide open.
Four wings made of flames attached to its back.
Its wings vomited bright red flames and swallowed something black in front of them.
Fire.
Flames engulfed the surroundings of something black that barely maintained its human form.
In an instant, black thorns protruded from the flames that even the air shook.
“Cuck!”
The thorns protruding at great speed got stuck in the arm of the phoenix.
At the same time, the thorns multiplied at a tremendous speed and crawled into the arm of the phoenix.
Hard.
As if to use the body as a host, the creeping thorns protruded out of the phoenix’s body along with bright red flames.
Because the phoenix tore off my own arm.
“This damn thing!”
He fluttered the wings on the back of the phoenix and hurriedly tried to escape.
The thorns jumped out at the phoenix before him.
At this moment, without hesitation, I ran into the place.
“Axial land.”
Anticipate where and under what circumstances they will appear, and swing your dagger ahead of time.
The gap between the place to move and the place to move.
Having the dagger’s trajectory completed in advance is the basis of the dagger technique using the axis.
Broke the bankruptcy sword
It must have been a blow cut while my vision was distorted. Before I knew it, the thorns in front of my eyes had been cut off by my dagger.
“How…?!”
The phoenix was taken aback by my sudden appearance, but covered his severed arm with flames.
Fire.
As the flames engulfed it, the parts that had been cut off were sprouting again.
The phoenix, whose arms sprouted in an instant, skillfully looked ahead, not at me.
It seemed that he prioritized the fact that his life was in danger rather than my appearance.
I also had to save the phoenix, so I grabbed the dagger and looked ahead.
Something in the form of a twisted black man.
It was hard to believe that it looked like a monster, but it must have been a teacher.
Dungeon structure.
Why did you plan this place where yin and yang are twisted and gathered in one place?
It was because it was to accept into my body the twisted yin and yang qi that make up the monster.
“Teacher.”
I stretched my feet forward.
Move the center of gravity forward, preparing for a spring break at any time.
I said to the teacher
“Stop.”
The teacher who turned into a monster couldn’t answer my words.
However, the teacher stopped her body for a moment, as if she had heard me.
Like asking why are you here.
“You know the phoenix shouldn’t die.”
The reason why the teacher wanted to kill the phoenix was simple, but in order to find the reason, he had to know the hidden truth.
Therefore, Sensei must have known what I meant.
But, of course, instead of answering her, the teacher took a step with her own body.
Wooddeuk.
The black that surrounds the human form twists a lot.
Before long, they clung to the teacher’s body like armor.
Odd profit.
The teacher turned one of her arms into a giant blade, then she came towards me, leading it to her floor.
“… Shit.”
In the end, having no choice but to face it, I grabbed the dagger with both hands.
It’s clear that the damn bastard is a phoenix, but he had to stop the teacher.
“Break it.”
There was no time to lament the ironic situation.
The teacher in front of me was a formidable enemy who had driven the phoenix, the head of the phoenix clan, to half-death, and had already killed one of his subordinates.
She had to do her best from the start.
The ability to shatter the mountain that the Broken Sword originally possessed.
An ability that was used by someone and lost its effectiveness, but was partially restored by Hong Ma-dong.
And the starter word of bankruptcy sword that Hong Ma-dong flirted with and told me in my dream.
Recited
“Break, bankruptcy.”
At the same time, the world was dyed in ink.
