episode_0058

When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

“Ugh, cold.”

I got up from the cold cave floor. Next to me was Baek Ayoung, who was tossing and turning and moaning.

Baek Ah-young also seemed to have come to her senses and stood up and looked around.

“What is this… indiscriminate warfare? This is an unbelievable level of rampage….”

Kuuuung-

The size of the dungeon itself has grown and the mana density has increased.

Naturally, the monsters that appear will also have become slightly stronger.

“Ayoung, calm down first.”

I made eye contact with Baek Ayoung, who was shaking with anxiety like a dog getting wet in the rain.

“Uh, huh. Because I’m here. Don’t worry, Hoyeon.”

“Ayoung, you can’t fight.”

“Yeah, that’s true…! I can help you recover well!”

Baek Ah-young could not hide the trembling of her body. Well, even if it’s just me, I think it would be a struggle if I fell into a dungeon with just one cadet.

He would be even more anxious since he had no combat power at all.

“First, let’s move. Even though I look like this, I’m a bit strong. Did you see the news that I captured the horse?”

“Of course. You also received an award. But wouldn’t it be better to just stay here rather than moving around? It might be dangerous.”

If you want to get through this storm quietly, it’s best to stay still.

This is because we know that a rescue team will arrive in two days.

Before that, I have to get Baek A-young’s virginity. It’s better to move around to create a situation.

“There is no time to wait for rescue now. It would be better to join the other cadets or the healer team.”

“Umm, okay. Let’s do as you say.”

Baek A-young had a nervous expression, but she did as I said.

Since I was the one with no power, my opinion was respected.

However, he could not hide the anxiety on his face. I feel like I don’t trust my own power.

Maybe I can’t trust people. To be honest, I am familiar with the Baek Ayoung I saw in the game, but the Baek Ayoung in front of me has not been in a relationship with me in real life for a long time.

First, I need to build trust with Baek Ayoung.

We slowly began exploring the dungeon, with me taking the lead and Baek Ayoung watching the back.

“wait a minute.”

“huh.”

Choo choo choo!

Cha Viscount!

Not long after, a tremendous sound of flapping wings was heard from in front of the passage.

“This sounds… like a swarm of cave bats. Let’s move back for now.”

“Anyway, it’s a straight passage so you can’t run away. I’ll just handle it.”

“We have to run away. I heard there were more than 20 of them.”

“It’s really okay. Just watch.”

I calmed down Baek A-young, who was anxious because she did not know my strength.

I drew out some mana, created a fireball, and slowly flew it forward.

Hudududududu!

The ball of fire, which was moving forward with a weak light, collided with a huge swarm of bats and was scattered into mana.

What about 20 dogs? There are more than 50, this one?

“Birds, there are more of them than I thought! Run away!”

Crrr! Choo choo choo!

Swarms of cave bats are now starting to come into view.

There were surprisingly many. It was inefficient to deal with it just by burning it.

‘I can’t do this. I’ll just have to go with all my might.’

Anyway, the only person watching was Baek A-young, so I thought it would be okay.

Should we take this opportunity to increase our credibility?

“Whew, I can’t help it.”

“Hoyeon! Run away while I stop it!”

Baek Ah-young stopped in front of me, spread her arms crosswise and closed her eyes tightly.

Why is this person like this all of a sudden?

The bats saw us and rushed at us.

At the same time, I created a whirlwind in my hand.

A small storm shot forward from the hand.

The flying bats were unable to slow down and were sucked into the whirlwind.

Grumbling!

Then, with his other hand, he created fifteen fireballs and threw them into the whirlwind.

It was a double casting.

The bats that were caught in the whirlwind while flying turned into one huge fire and burned.

The bats that happened to escape one or two at a time were dealt with by sniping them with flame spears.

“uh…?”

Baek Ayoung, who was blocking my path with her arms outstretched, opened her eyes wide.

The behavior of trying to greet me instead of me was really admirable, but the bats couldn’t even come near me and they all burned to death.

However, what surprised Baek Ayoung was my magic rather than the sight of all the bats being burned to death.

In the world, I am known as a fire magician. This is because until now, only flame magic was intentionally used.

Moreover, the double casting that I am learning is the dream magic that every wizard wants to learn. It is such an advanced magic that many active magicians cannot master it properly.

These are my secrets that I have kept hidden from others.

Of course, it is only a small part of the secrets I have hidden, but from Baek A-young’s perspective, this alone would be a huge secret.

It’s embarrassing to suddenly find out such secrets.

If I were really a bad guy, I might have killed Baek A-young and silenced her.

Of course, I have no intention of doing that.

“Mr. Ayoung, I told you to trust me, right?”

I smiled at Baek Ayoung, who was embarrassed and unable to speak.

Only then did Baek Ayoung relax and open her mouth.

“Hoyeon, you…! This is enough to get you far!”

Baek Ayoung realized that I was stronger than I thought and smiled as if she saw hope.

done. Baek Ayoung had hope in me.

To put it another way, it means that I have come to believe in myself more.

“Mr. Ayoung, please don’t say anything outside of what you just saw.”

Seeing Baek Ayoung like that, my expression hardened.

Honestly, it doesn’t really matter if this level of secret is known. I’m not known to be able to use all properties, but two are surprisingly common.

Of course, double casting is a bit risky… This too can be covered if Imsol steps forward.

Anyway, becoming a person who shares a hunter’s secret is not that easy.

Unusual skills, unique powers, etc.

Talented people do not share things that could become weaknesses if others knew about them.

Because you never know when someone might stab you in the back. You have to hide a little bit of the power you have.

Now Baek Ayoung has found out my secret.

“I trust Ayoung. I haven’t seen her for that long, but I feel like she’s a good person.”

Baek Ayoung quietly listened to me.

“I’m going to do my best to escape. So… let’s survive together.”

“Yes. Don’t worry. I’ll do my best.”

Baek Ah-young, who was looking at me with bright eyes, seemed to trust me a little more than she did at first.

*

How long did you walk? Even though I explored for quite a while, I couldn’t see any other people or even an exit.

‘Fuck, is this really what it is?’

I was a little anxious because I only knew that I had been transferred due to a terrorist attack and didn’t know the details, but there were no monsters in this dungeon that could threaten me, so I kept moving forward.

“Whoa… whoo….”

Baek A-young, who is following behind me, is breathing increasingly harshly.

Healers naturally have weak physical strength. I had no choice but to stop at a vacant lot to take a break.

“Ayoung, I’m having a hard time. Is it okay if I rest here for a while?”

“Yes, thank you. Haha….”

“No. It’s hard for me too.”

I took a seat in the middle of the clearing and started meditating.

There were a few battles on the way here, so I used up a lot of mana.

Kekkeek… Crumbling…

As soon as the meditation was over, the goblins approached the clearing as if they had made an appointment.

“I guess I’ll use up all my mana again.”

Quagwagwang!

The goblins could not even come close and disappeared into ashes.

“Hoyeon, are you okay? You’re not overdoing it, are you?”

“yes I’m okay.”

Although the dungeon has been strengthened, there are no opponents who pose a threat to me.

But that was the problem.

Baek A-young’s tastes are unique.

A man with serious injuries that he personally treated has to attack himself, who is so weak from the treatment that he cannot even move a finger.

In addition, it is necessary to establish that despite Baek A-young’s treatment, the man could not control his rising sexual desire and acted on his instincts.

Even if we leave out the mental problem, there is a physical problem.

I would have to suffer a serious injury so that Baek Ayoung would exert all her strength.

I think most of the internal organs would have to rupture at that level.

Fortunately, Baek A-young’s stamina dropped a lot while walking through the dungeon, so it seems like all it takes is one major injury… It’s strange that I was suddenly hit by bats that were burning me with a single magic spell, so I need to think about it.

“How did this happen…?”

Baek Ah-young hugged her knees and spoke gloomily.

I know that they will be rescued in two days at the latest, but Baek A-young will definitely be anxious.

We have no food to eat right now, so we have to starve.

I tried to bring food to prepare for a situation like this, but I couldn’t bring it because my belongings were inspected.

“It’s okay. I am the future great wizard. I have to survive somehow.”

“… Ugh. Okay, I’ll just trust you. I’m sorry for showing you an immature side.”

“No. I would have been very anxious if I had fallen alone, but thanks to Ayoung, I don’t feel lonely.”

Baek Ah-young still seemed to have a little trouble breathing.

However, you should not allow yourself to fully recover your stamina here.

She should heal me and then collapse from exhaustion.

To do that, you need to lose some stamina.

“Should we leave now? I don’t have a watch, so I don’t know what time it is, but I think we should leave quickly. Monsters are slowly coming here too.”

“Yes. Let’s go.”

Baek A-young got up without showing any signs of distress.

We started walking again.

As we moved forward, what appeared was the same cave wall.

Even if I don’t know the exact time, I probably walked for several hours, but does it make sense that I didn’t run into anyone?

It looks like the dungeon has become very large, or there is something I don’t know about. I don’t know exactly.

The conversations that often took place between us also disappeared.

The cave forced such a static atmosphere on us.

At that time, when all we could hear was the sound of each other breathing,

“Kwaaa!”

Suddenly, a human scream was heard from afar.

I turned my head, made eye contact with Baek Ayoung, and ran towards her.

“Aaaa! Aaaahaa

Pushuuk! Pop!

There was a terrible scream and a sound like something was being crushed.

“Kwaaa!”

After a while, the terrible screams were no longer heard.

But a different sound was heard.

thud. thud. thud.

I heard a huge creature walking towards my ears. The steady steps led us to guess that it was a humanoid monster.

The direction was straight ahead, and the distance from which the sound could be heard quickly narrowed.

Baek Ah-young must have heard the sound now, so she came right behind me.

“Kuuuh-!”

“Oh, ow!”

An ugly, huge figure fills my field of vision.

Although it has a bad head, it is a high-level monster with strong strength and vitality.

In one hand, he was holding the body of a cadet torn in half. Although it was a cruel corpse I had never seen before, my mental strength was not that weak.

“Grrr-!”

The ogre’s ignorant killing intent poured down on me.

Shuuuk!

The ogre threw the cadet’s body at me.

‘Cotton guard.’

I blocked the dirty corpse and looked at Baek Ah-young behind me.

“Ho, Hoyeon. Are you okay?”

As Baek Ah-young is also an active hunter, she was not surprised to see the corpse.

Rather, I was worried about my mental state.

But my mind was clearer than ever.

Excited.

It’s a familiar feeling.

Excited.

The sense of battle that fills my body is telling. The ogre in front of me is extremely strong.

Excited. Excited.

My body becomes as hot as when I was dealing with Felix, if not more so.

The ogre was stronger than Felix, the two-horned demon.

In games, ogres are strangely portrayed strongly. To be honest, I wondered how strong this stupid bastard could be, but when I met him in person, I felt really bad.

The pressure coming from his huge size and scary face is no joke.

If you hit me with one punch, I think you’ll end up in a mess.

Fuck. Why are you making it difficult by setting it strong? Just make it weaker.

“Ho, Hoyeon. We really have to run away this time. Really!”

“If I run away, can I survive?”

“I’ll stop it. In the meantime, run away. You have to survive, even if you’re just one year younger!”

“It’s okay. What a difference it makes.”

This person really wants to look like an adult. Even though I’m not that old.

I pushed Baek Ayoung back and stood in front.

“Ho, Hoyeon…!”

I don’t know why such a monster is in this dungeon.

Perhaps, as mana density has increased, stronger monsters have emerged.

I can’t run away from Baek Ayoung anyway.

If Baek A-young, the heroine, dies, I will die due to failure in the main quest.

Then we have no choice but to fight.

“Just wait a moment. I’ll take care of it right away.”

Excited.

‘Opening eyes’

I drew magical energy to my entire body.
