After taking a short break, we decided to continue hunting.
Is it because they caught the ogre? Suddenly, the number of monsters in the forest decreased drastically. Because of that, I stayed at 40 points for two hours.
“Is the barrier limiting the number of monsters over time?”
“No, more accurately, the monster is avoiding us.”
When killing monsters, it is clear that the monsters naturally avoid body odor or blood when they smell it. When I told Lyra that fact, she had a serious look on her face.
“That means you have to catch a high-level monster that doesn’t run away even when it smells blood.”
Even if you catch monsters other than ‘Judge’, you get 1 point. In other words, the only way to earn points efficiently is to target and kill relatively weak entities.
However, due to the structure, the more points you accumulate, the more you are forced to catch only strong monsters. A dilemma? Those academy guys used their brains pretty well.
“The monsters you have to face from now on will be strong. According to my seniors, if I use magic too wildly, another judge monster will pop out.”
“G, really?”
“Yes. From now on, you can’t just shoot magic.”
That must be a system to keep in check the wizard Joe, whose hunting speed is extremely fast. It’s not really dangerous.
‘Well, looking at the estimate, it doesn’t look like there are any monsters in this forest that could threaten our group.’
This can be said to be more thanks to Lira than me. This is because she is said to be one of the strongest swordsmen in the first year, and her swordsmanship is so excellent.
I’m not sure what school of swordsmanship it is. Lyra’s swordsmanship was crude rather than elegant. It may be more correct to say that it is wild.
‘Did you not have a teacher and just learned it instinctively?’
In other words, if it is a talent, it may be much faster to learn it directly in practice rather than receiving guidance from someone.
Of course, this is not the case for things that require a teacher, such as ‘how to find an easy posture to cut without using force, or perhaps how to hold a sword without hurting your fingers.’
“… Erin, Alina. I caught a few nearby.”
“, how many are there?!”
“I don’t know. At least the ones whose presence was detected were five.”
I thought they would come soon, but I never thought they would come in groups. It is clear that the guys who are attacking us this time are highly intelligent. Acting as a group is something only highly intelligent animals can do.
“Wait a minute, the number just increased to seven.”
“What?!”
“Now it’s eight! No, it was suddenly reduced to three? Uh… . Why are there four now?”
“What is it? Just say one thing! How many people?”
The presence increases and then decreases again. Was there a monster with this ability? It’s a type that doesn’t even exist in my knowledge.
“This is not a monster.”
I infused mana into Iron Maiden. The opponent is not a monster. Common sense dictates that there is no way to use an object that is so dangerous that its presence can be hidden for practice.
“What are you talking about?… .”
-Cooo!
Lyra, who was looking at me and muttering something out loud, was hit by something and was sent flying backwards.
What suddenly appeared was a solid-looking piece of metal. It was about the size of an anchor attached to a ship, so how could you carry something so large?
“Lira!”
“Alina, please check on Lira. Probably not dead.”
“Yes, yes!”
Alina immediately ran to where Lira had gone. It’s a shame that we can’t ask for her help, but right now, the priority is to make sure Lyra, who is a powerful force, is safe.
“You idiot! I told you not to kill the other bitch!”
After all, the goal is me. It was expected. If I was going to kill it, I wouldn’t have thrown it like that, but would have hit its head and split it open.
‘By the way, are there several enemies? The maximum number captured by Lira is eight. No, maybe there’s more to it than that.’
No matter what the number is, the fact remains that you must risk your life now.
“It looks a little different from what I heard? It’s kind of cute.”
“Giggles Still revealing. If you can’t stand it, you can taste it later.”
Even if I had the ability to read signs, I could tell that signs of presence were coming from all over the place. I don’t know how many that number is, but it’s probably well over fifteen.
“What kind of orphans are they? They suddenly start acting like shit the first time I see them.”
“Wow, is this as I heard? My mouth is so vulgar that I can’t find anything to say. Giggling… .”
Fierce men and women carrying tools came pouring out from all directions. The number is a whopping twenty. It was a daunting number for me to deal with now.
‘I guess I’ll have to risk my life.’
I have no intention of backing down. Even if you run away anyway, you won’t be able to return safely.
‘If you look at the amount of mana released, it’s about 3rd tier if you’re not good, and 4th tier if you’re strong.’
They don’t seem to be the ones taking classes at the academy. This is because the level is too low to say so. It’s probably a service from outside.
“I am Hamar. This is a man who will pay you back for what you did. I will make you regret being born.”
“I don’t know how it came in.”
Wooow! The Iron Maiden, fully charged with mana, flew out at high speed towards the man named Hamar. This is a speed that an ordinary person would not even be able to react to.
“There are ways to do that.”
That must have been coordinated by one of the people I destroyed. I’m sure that nobleman whose name I can’t remember did it. Ha, I guess I’ll have to go and take care of it after it’s over.
Hamar took out two curved swords from his belt and lightly deflected the flying Iron Maiden. Not only was the reaction speed fast, but the swing speed was also outstanding.
“If you just stay still, I’ll finish it without any pain.”
Iron Maiden infused with mana can move at will. The bounced Iron Maiden used the tree next to it as a foothold, gained momentum, and bounced back.
It wasn’t Hamar this time. The guy standing next to him got hit in the back of the head. Needless to say, instant death. The guy’s body leaned forward.
“You fucking bastards. I won’t kill you.”
-Paaaat!
As soon as he finished speaking, assassins rushed in from all directions. Various weapons, such as daggers, chain scythes, and maces, try to tear my body to pieces.
I chanted magic and created a fireball. If they come from all directions, it would be difficult for me, as I am vulnerable to close combat, to handle it. So I had to make a way.
“Stop the magic before it is complete!”
late. If you are an archmage, your chanting speed is also faster than that of a criminal. I threw the fireball on the floor before they rushed in.
“That crazy guy! Are you planning to blow yourself up?”
At the same time, the one-level enhanced ‘Water Armor’ was activated. This is a magic that can be handled in a new way as you move up to the 3rd level.
A spell that dramatically increases your defense by covering your entire body with moisture reinforced with mana. It can withstand at least one fireball shot by me.
The fireball that fell to the floor exploded immediately, transferring heat to the assassins who were charging at me. Although it didn’t kill a single person, it was a great achievement in that it was able to make them retreat while inflicting damage.
First of all, I think my magic is working on those guys. It was proven that the effect of the barrier was limited compared to the number of students who participated in this exercise.
What this means is that the lower class people who hate me did not try to kill me. Then who is it?
“What on earth are you doing with just a kid!”
“Damn it! I didn’t know you could cast magic that quickly! It won’t work. Do something with your chain scythe!”
-Chrrr!
The chain scythe flew in, making a loud noise. I reacted right away and tried to pull back. The assassin, who was holding a dagger behind his back, rushed towards him and his steps were interrupted.
The chain grabbed my delicate ankles. He pulled right away and knocked me to the floor.
“That’s it! Movement blocked! Finish it!”
An assassin holding a dagger rushes toward me, who has lost his stance. However, I had loaded the water ball from the moment the chain scythe was wound, and immediately fired it at the guy.
At the same time as a dull impact sound, the body falls backwards. He wouldn’t have died. Still, I must have fainted.
“You idiots! Let’s all rush in together!”
Once again, people are flocking to those words. I got up right away. The guy holding the chain scythe pulled me and I lost my balance.
I had no choice but to quickly run towards the guy holding the chain scythe, prepared to fall. But he pulled it again. Before that, my magic hit.
“Iron Maiden!”
First, he blocks his vision with a water ball, then hits Iron Maiden back and forth to break his bones. Died without even seeing anything. I used my hands to untie the chain he was wrapped around.
“This crazy guy! You killed two people!”
“I didn’t know it would be such a difficult mission… .”
“Don’t hesitate, fight quickly!”
-Fuuuuk!
But in return, I had to suffer a spear piercing my back. The body leans forward. The pain of tearing through my flesh rises.
“That’s it! You got it right! Someone please finish it!”
“I’ll do it!!”
There are so many, right? I gritted my teeth and threw myself into the grass. Fortunately, it didn’t go deep. This is thanks to the water armor that surrounds its body.
‘We’re going to have to fight dirty. ‘For some reason, they can’t take advantage of their numbers, so it’s a good thing.’
This is proof that they are not professionals. It’s just that the skills are a little better and the numbers are bigger… . If so, the level of difficulty is much lower than you thought.
“Tch, the wound was shallow! Still, since this much blood has been shed, I just need to finish it… .”
An assassin with a dagger entered the grass where I was hiding. I took Iron Maiden by surprise, blinded him, and then placed a water ball on his head.
“… !”
“Let me feel the pain of being buried in the ground.”
Pour water into the animal through its eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He struggled to remove the water ball from his face, but Iron Maiden flew in and smashed his wrist, making him unable to do so.
He literally suffocated on the ground. The limp corpse is a sight to behold.
“Fuck… . Crazy guy.”
I’ll make you pay for messing with that crazy guy.
