episode_0066
by fnovelpiaTwo weeks have passed since I spoke with Ceria Alfheim.
The cadets gathered in front of the gateway are each swallowing their saliva nervously.
This is because today is the day of the first semester final exams.
“Hey, how many people are in your group?”
“Three people.”
“It’s okay. Our group is a bit ambiguous, so we are going with four people.”
The sounds of cadets talking could be heard all around.
The main content was to ask and answer questions about how many people were in the group.
The reason why there is no mention of dungeon level entry is probably because most cadets applied to level 4 dungeons.
okay.
“ Cadets Seong Yu-jin, Seria Alfheim, and Cheon Yu-hwa who applied for the level 3 dungeon will leave first.”
Mostly, but not all.
When Professor Roman publicly revealed that he was conquering a level 3 dungeon, an uproar arose.
And after seeing the brief silence that followed, and the number of people who came forward after being called by Professor Roman, I was convinced.
They probably thought that if the three of us formed a group, we would be able to conquer a level 3 dungeon.
of course.
“ Cadet Seong Yu-jin is in a grade 3 grassland area, Cadet Seria Alfheim is in a grade 3 forest area, and Cadet Cheon Yu-hwa is in a grade 3 cave terrain.”
Although I, Seria Alfheim, and Cheon Yu-hwa were all planning to enter a different dungeon.
“Crazy, entering a level 3 dungeon alone?”
“Will that happen?”
“I put it in because I thought it would work.”
The commotion that had subsided burned as fiercely as it had died down once.
Professor Roman quieted the cadets as his voice became increasingly noisy, and then spoke again in a calm voice.
“This stick we are handing out now is an emergency return artifact. If you find yourself in a dangerous situation, give up the test and break this stick while imbuing it with magic.”
When all three people, including me, nodded, Professor Roman handed us a stick one by one.
After each person received the stick and stored it in an appropriate place, they followed Professor Roman’s instructions and walked beyond the gate.
‘… hmm?’
And before passing through the gate, I briefly made eye contact with Seria Alfheim.
I couldn’t read his intention, but I think he probably meant that he would trust me.
With a vague guess, I also completely crossed the gate.
.
.
.
As I crossed into space via the Gateway of Eden, a faculty member who had been waiting for me at the gate approached me.
“Would you like to be Seong Yu-jin, a first-year student?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
I was only able to enter the dungeon after answering the faculty member’s questions and going through the identity verification process.
As I saw that the name was basic and even the appearance and magic power were tested, I thought that it would definitely be difficult to cheat like a proxy test.
Just enter “. I hope you get good grades.”
“Thank you.”
When I heard a short word of encouragement along with permission to enter, I felt better for no reason.
Did they say that praise can make even a whale dance? Even if it is just a nominal word, it has its own pleasant resonance that tickles the heart.
Let me also briefly express my gratitude and enter the dungeon.
“Wow… .”
I felt the vast land and gentle breeze with my whole body, as if I had been thrown into the middle of the Mongolian plateau.
It was quite nice to hear the sound of the wind blowing through my body, ringing harshly in my ears, and the sound of the grass as the wind gently swept the grass in the meadow.
It’s perfect when the sky is blue as the ground is full of green grass, and even the temperature on your skin feels cool.
But is it still a dungeon?
“Krrrr… .”
The presence of different monsters came from all sides of the detection barrier spread over a 100-meter radius.
And within a few seconds, he saw a type of monster that was close enough to be clearly visible to the naked eye and shouted.
“Semi-Werewolf!”
Semi-Werewolf
It is a type of monster that is larger than an ordinary wolf and has traces of a human-like body shape remaining on its skeleton and muscles.
The main evaluation is that it is a chaff that did not become a full-fledged werewolf, but that is only an evaluation.
Hunters who have experienced dungeons where werewolves appear and hunters with a certain level of skill say, ‘A werewolf is still a werewolf even if it rots.’
‘Although it has not been able to completely shake off the wild nature of a wolf, it has the intelligence of a child and sometimes uses its front legs as arms.’
Furthermore, perhaps due to the monster’s unique nature, its size, which is larger than that of an ordinary wolf, often gives werewolves threatening attack power and speed.
A stronger and faster creature that goes beyond the level of a beast that combines the clever intelligence and wildness of a beast.
That is a werewolf.
“Well, at best, it’s just a random mob in a level 3 dungeon.”
Just reach out and grab it and that’s it.
Even if a group of monsters come, if you just trap them in the barrier and compress them, they will collapse into a handful of blood.
Could it be that he killed roughly hundreds of monsters in that way?
I felt a huge figure coming quickly towards me from afar.
“A dungeon owner?”
Most of the monsters inside the dungeon were also hunted.
Thinking that the only thing left was the dungeon owner, I tightened my grip as I looked at the dungeon owner who was starting to move.
However, the barrier that was unfolded this time was not a barrier to crush and kill the target inside.
Sword.
I held in my hand a barrier sword that took the shape of a sword, which is the most common weapon among barrier weapons made by weaving barrier threads.
‘A rank Chamjutsu acquired through inheritance, if you combine this skill with a barrier warrior… !’
The monster running at terrifying speed from beyond the horizon of the grassland is a werewolf.
An entity that does not have a minor modifier such as semi.
A werewolf, complete in itself, raises sharp claws on its front paws and moves its two strong hind legs.
It is worthy of being called the boss of a level 3 dungeon.
If it were Cheon Yu-hwa, the appearance of a strong enemy would have ignited the spirit of victory, and if it was Seria Alfheim, it would have been nervous and raised its magic power.
But to me, a werewolf is nothing more or less than just a werewolf.
If I had to really ask, I guess it’s a bit of a quick and cunning monster.
The werewolf rushed at me and quickly swung its front paw claws towards my abdomen and neck.
Kakaan-!
“… Hmm, is it like this?”
“Cruk… ?!”
However, the reason his attack hit was entirely because I hit him without any intention of dodging.
In addition to the total amount of horsepower and operating efficiency, even the output has increased significantly.
I wanted to test how effective my current body technique would be, so I deliberately opened up the vital area.
And I realized it with the blow just now.
‘Even in a level 1 dungeon, you won’t get hurt at all.’
Werewolf’s movements were also accurately captured with insight and insight skills that are always active.
The output of physical strengthening could immediately widen the gap in physical strength between the werewolf and me beyond that of a child and an adult man.
If you add other skills and spells here, there won’t even be a fight at all.
“Goodbye.”
“Ke… !”
That was the end of those words.
For a moment, a cloud of blue light was scattered into the air, and the swung barrier sword suddenly cut off the werewolf’s neck.
A technique that increases the effectiveness of slashing with a weapon and allows the phenomenon of slashing to manifest itself from A rank onwards.
The skill called Chamjutsu was the embodiment of the knowledge of such techniques.
The barrier weapon that finally acquired the blade finally became a weapon.
“It was much simpler than I thought.”
The barrier sword in his hand becomes a bluish cluster of magic light and scatters into the air.
Those blue particles of magical power were like a beacon to announce to the public that the dungeon owner of the level 3 dungeon had died and the dungeon attack had been completed.
‘You’ll need at least one proof of killing the dungeon owner.’
With that in mind, I picked up the head and body of the werewolf that was rolling around on the grassland.
Because the barrier was used as a box to transport it, it did not interfere with the return.
“… I’ve heard rumors, but you’re really fast.”
“Is that so.”
“You are already a top hunter level. More than that, what did you bring later?”
“The corpse of a werewolf. It appears as the main dungeon here.”
The faculty member, who looked somewhat dejected but had a vague guess, turned his attention to the werewolf corpse I had dragged in.
It is a werewolf corpse with the head and body neatly separated without any damage.
Moreover, since he died not long ago, rigor mortis has not yet ended and is still ongoing.
A faculty member who recognized its value urgently called somewhere.
After chatting for a while, the faculty member spoke to me with his lips licking.
“Cadet Seong Yu-jin, are you willing to sell the werewolf’s body?”
I think I’ll order three chickens for dinner tonight.
Since there was no reason to refuse, he left the body for proper disposal and returned to Eden.
And of course, my grades proudly took first place in the final exam.
It was the result of being the first to defeat the highest level dungeon available to first-year cadets on their own.
