episode_0184

The 40th floor of the underground tower where Theia’s final exams are held.

There is a wide field space that can be mistaken for reality.

And, the sound of thunder that seemed to tear apart the vast space and air rang out without stopping for a moment.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!!

Lim Jae-ho quickly moved his feet to avoid the lightning strike from the sky.

Grrr-

Soon the place where he was standing was engulfed in huge flames and burned.

He immediately broke into a cold sweat.

‘I didn’t even hit the skill properly. Strictly speaking, it’s not even a skill, it’s the root of a lightning strike…’

Nevertheless, it was on a different level from the clumsy electric magic that only spread a single ray.

Supercell, a super-scale thunderstorm bombardment created by a giant cumulonimbus cloud.

Yoon Geon-woo’s 3rd power was encroaching on the entire dungeon field.

‘You bastard! I knew it was a monster. ‘You’re not human anymore.’

Geonwoo Yoon.

That name has always been an object of fear for Lim Jae-ho.

Lim Jae-ho’s father is an apostle of Valhalla and a hunting dog from that huge guild.

And Yoon Geon-woo’s father. He was also a direct subordinate of Yoon Young-hyeon.

Due to the pressure of his family background, he always bowed his head to Yoon Geon-woo.

‘But… I wasn’t just a bitch who trusted my family and went on a rampage.’

If I had done that, I would have achieved a mental victory by thinking that I could knock him out with one punch.

Even aside from his family background, Yoon Geon-woo was a pure strongman.

No, it is a monster for which the word ‘strongest’ rather than ‘strong’ is more appropriate.

Because of his strength, Yoon Geon-woo has always reigned as a tyrant among his peers.

When I was in high school, I ran away to avoid him.

I was always afraid of Yoon Geon-woo and could not escape his shadow.

Moreover, Yoon Geon-woo has become stronger than in the past.

Ta-ta-ta-tat!!

I moved my feet quickly and avoided the lightning strike again with an instinctive movement.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak-

A nearby monster was hit directly by the lightning instead.

“Kieek-”

Permanent Ogre.

Even that A-grade nightmarish monster could not even properly resist and was reduced to ashes in a single blow.

‘As expected, the prospect that even Song Yu-Hwan treated specially is different.’

Maybe if it was my old self.

You must have already been frightened by Yoon Geon-woo’s intimidating appearance.

It was not easy to go against the hierarchy that had been clearly ingrained since childhood.

That is a fear engraved in one’s instincts.

Especially since he is a werewolf who is very strict about maintaining his rank.

It was as if Lim Jae-ho was under an invisible curse or spell.

Fear of Yoon Geon-woo. To the curse of such a name.

Just then, someone passed by him.

He patted Lim Jae-ho on the back as if to cheer him up.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. Because the person you are now can easily resist Yoon Geon-woo’s skills.”

It was a familiar voice.

It was Lee Jun-woo.

“I will deal with Yoon Geon-woo myself. So please take care of the executives at True Opposition. Jaeho, I can trust you.”

Lee Jun-woo, who spoke so hastily, quickly moved his feet.

‘When did the speed become so fast…?’

But there was no time to be surprised.

Phage support-

Soon, a large amount of lightning projectiles were raining down on him like a dagger.

‘There’s no avoiding it this time.’

The aftermath of the skill created by Yoon Geon-woo.

It was small roots scattered from the main lightning strike.

However, powers and skills are a reflection of the caster’s will.

Just confronting that skill was the same as meeting the opponent directly.

In short, it means that you can be affected by the fear debuff with just the skill.

‘okay. I was always afraid of Yoon Geon-woo.’

But Lim Jae-ho did not avoid it.

Paaa

A powerful fist filled with mana was thrown straight ahead, nullifying the skill.

– There’s nothing to be afraid of.

A little while ago, Lee Jun-woo said something casually as he passed by.

However, the sound was not light to Lim Jae-ho.

It was amazing.

Whenever I think of Yoon Geon-woo, I feel an instinctive fear that somehow never goes away.

But now the fear no longer remained.

‘okay. ‘There is no need to be afraid.’

Lee Jun-woo was Lim Jae-ho’s colleague.

Lim Jae-ho was sure.

Lee Jun-woo would be able to win against that monster Yoon Geon-woo.

‘It’s always been like that. Because Junwoo has proven himself.’

From an unknown cadet, he is a genius who has grown to the point where he can compete head-to-head with Yoon Geon-woo.

Theia, where the apostle’s influence is strong, has been quiet for a while.

All of Theia’s instructors also knew.

There is another cadet with the same talent as Yoon Geon-woo.

No, Lee Jun-woo’s talent may surpass even Yoon Geon-woo.

‘I can’t disappoint Junwoo!’

Ahhh-

Lim Jae-ho roared.

There was no longer any fear in the beast’s roar.

I only have faith in Lee Jun-woo.

And, that faith was the faith of a werewolf who pledged absolute obedience and loyalty to the leader.

‘You can’t hold Junwoo’s ankle! ‘I’ll take care of Jin Hyun-jun!’

No one in True Opposition could let Lee Jun-woo get in the way.

Lim Jae-ho once again let out an animal roar and rushed towards the head of True Apothecles’ crime prevention department.

At that moment, Jaeho Lim succeeded in the third awakening of the werewolf.

***

The final exam went faster than I expected.

But there was nothing strange about it.

Although it has a survival format.

In reality, it was a one-sided hunting session between True Assassins and the Hero class.

Cadets from the hunter class who attended together.

Most of them had already retired before they even reached the 20th floor.

‘Well, considering the level of difficulty, that’s a good record for a cadet.’

Just surviving the high-difficulty underground tower even a little bit without cheating with a chaotic weapon becomes a portfolio.

I think the experience I had with me in the magic section was helpful to those cadets as well.

However, it was not the time to worry about the cadets who had already retired.

Although many of the hero class opponents also retired.

Now that they had reached the 40th floor, Yoon Geon-woo and the Aparcels executives who followed him were still alive.

Moreover, in the process, they even completed full farming.

‘The equipment is better than most major guild elite teams.’

What’s even worse is the conditions.

The number of opponents is 30.

Unfortunately, even An Yu-min’s Aegis did not properly engage with the Apostles and avoided each other.

‘I’m just breaking through the dungeon strangely quickly.’

They didn’t seem to care about the purpose of the exam, which was the final exam.

An Yu-min’s goal is only the deepest part of the underground tower.

However, considering that Letisane’s secret was sealed there, it was a somewhat understandable move.

‘Now is not the time to worry about others.’

There are only five members of this group who survived.

The three members of Ignition, Choi Hana and Sumire.

Although Sumire, who was not just a cadet but a named villain, was a great force.

Sumire’s power is limited due to the Ark system.

‘Well, I can still deal with cadets easily.’

Nevertheless, being outnumbered now was not easy.

I said to Sumire.

“I need to open a path with the Ignition members.”

Sumire hurriedly looked at me at those words.

“Surely you are going to attack Yoon Geon-woo yourself?”

Her expression was serious.

When I nodded, Sumire shook her head.

“That huge cloud is influencing the entire dungeon. Hitting it head-on until its strength disappears… is the same as fighting a typhoon.”

At those words, I looked beyond.

It was on a different level from the awakened person with an ordinary electrical system.

It’s as if he looks like the god of thunder.

Geonwoo Yoon was standing right under the giant cumulonimbus cloud, a supercell that extended its arms even to the ground.

“I need to take some time to drain his mana…”

“That’s a good strategy, too. I guess I don’t have time.”

An Yu-min’s dungeon progress was too fast.

She, who has become a villain, may be forced to acquire Letisane’s legacy at the center of the dungeon.

‘That’s troublesome.’

Above all, if I take my time against Yoon Geon-woo, I will have no choice but to consume that much stamina and mana.

Quick resolution.

I had to end the match with Yoon Geon-woo as quickly as possible with my strongest move.

For me, I can see the time bar of the quest that is not visible to others.

[There are 5 minutes left to clear the 40th floor.]

If you don’t defeat Yoon Geon-woo within those 5 minutes.

This means that you are not entitled to own Letisane’s inheritance.

“I stand at the forefront! Everyone support me! And I send Junwoo across the open road!”

At that time, the head of the crime prevention department at True Opposition.

Jin Hyun-jun was handled by Lim Jae-ho.

Lim Jae-ho’s large body was shining.

I grinned at that sight.

‘I accomplished one of the most difficult tasks.’

In the original final party, Lim Jae-ho was not a frequently used member.

The conditions for his third awakening were difficult.

Because I had to gain not only his trust as a member, but also his loyalty as a werewolf.

As cadets with the same status as each other, the task was actually close to impossible.

‘It’s something that the main character, An Yu-min, couldn’t do.’

Sumire, who was looking at that scene, spoke in a surprised voice.

“The Third Awakening of the Werewolf… Does this mean that he has chosen a covenant lord to follow? It must be an oath to sacrifice one’s life…”

As they were of the same sub-race, Sumire was momentarily speechless at the sight.

“That’s because of you, Unno… No, Lee Jun-woo, it’s because of you. As expected… Is this the man who won one’s heart?”

She spoke again and held her sword tightly.

And Sumire smiled and said.

“Tch. Then I can’t lose either. We will open the way. Junwoo Lee. I’ll definitely kill that arrogant bastard who says he’s Yoon Geon-woo!”

Phrases-

A dragon’s horn sprouted from Sumire’s head.

The sharp vacuum blade created from her sword supported Lim Jae-ho in the vanguard.

Jeong Si-woo and Hana also followed behind him.

Soon, I made eye contact with Hana, who was looking back.

Hana seemed to have a lot to say, but she spoke to me in a hurry.

“Stay safe!”

I nodded.

Party members surpass one point.

Its power was certain.

The executives of Apostles shouted, not expecting that they would strike at once.

“Stop it! You must not send Lee Jun-woo to Geon-woo!”

“Ma, I can’t stop it! Ugh…”

But the way was open.

I increased my speed to the maximum and finally overtook the party members.

Yoon Geon-woo’s Supercell was visible, filling the entire front like a huge mountain range.

“I’ll be back!”

After shouting like that, I jumped up from the ground and entered Yoon Geon-woo’s supercell.

In it, I encountered Yoon Geon-woo, who was glaring at me with cold eyes.
