Chapter 226 – Breaking Records (2)
As soon as you enter the dungeon, a frightening wind blows.
The environment is as hot as the lair of a fire lizard with intense flames all over its body.
This environment is also one of the factors that slow down the dungeon attack time.
It’s so hot that even if you move even a little, you’ll sweat, and you’ll get tired quickly.
Among them…
“Huh, huh… !”
It creates a hell-like situation for the tankers who have heavy metal clad all over their bodies.
Can’t do it
「Chilling Touch.」
I push the cold air shaped into the same shape as my hand into the tanker’s armor.
“Uhhhhh… ?!”
No… , I understand the heart, but that kind of sound is a bit.
“Are you okay now?”
“Yes? Ah yes! Thank you… ?”
“What is this?”
With the party members who have recovered their physical strength, they move deeper into the ground.
The archer with the highest eyesight among us sends a hand signal to stop.
“Four fire lizards 50 meters ahead.”
Beyond the darkness that has fallen, their presence is clearly conveyed.
After concentrating on them, I immediately raised my magic power.
In a cave full of heat, it scrapes together the mana stored in the rippling water.
「Ice Spear.」
Fast!
Four spears made by freezing the accumulated mana.
It shoots one at each of the four signs it senses.
Wedge juice!
Four spears made of ice flew, clearing away the heat that filled the surroundings.
The sound of four hits soon followed.
Fluffy!
Kieheh… !
Kissy Shishi!
Even the desperate screams of the fire lizard whose neck was pierced by a spear of ice.
The archer, who was watching this with his own eyes, swallowed dry saliva and parted his lips.
“… End of situation.”
The party members weren’t too surprised, perhaps because the same situation had been repeated several times already.
“That… , Let’s go ahead and capture the by-products.”
Excluding me and the healer, the two melee dealers and the archer head towards the fire lizard’s corpse.
The thing to collect is the mane from the nape of the fire lizard’s neck.
It has excellent fire resistance, so it is used as a material for making armor or used for wizards’ research, so it is sold at a fairly high price.
How much was it per 100g of mane?
The market price varies slightly depending on demand, but I think it was around 300,000 won.
If you roughly calculate the profit from this dungeon…
“Excuse me… , Wizard?”
In the midst of busy calculations, the healer who had been glancing at me spoke to me.
It looks like there is something curious about it.
“That… , I have a question, can I ask it…”
“Please speak.”
A healer with a light smile on his lips.
“As far as I know, I heard that the use of ice magic is very limited in a place with strong fire energy like this place…”
“I guess so, right?”
Fire, water, wind, earth, etc.
Magical power is composed of particles of various elements that make up this world.
Such magic is that the components of the particles are slightly different in each place.
For example, how about a cave like this where hot wind blows everywhere?
Of course, this is where the most elemental particles of fire are.
That’s why the environment here is so hot in the first place.
The second most numerous are earth elemental particles.
The surroundings are all made of hard rocks and soil, so this is also natural.
Conversely, the smallest are particles of the element of water.
Isn’t it common sense that water will dry up and disappear where hot wind blows?
Magic is the law of realizing supernatural phenomena by extracting necessary elemental particles from the magical power flowing around you using your own magical power as power.
If there are few water elemental particles in the surrounding area, more magic power is consumed as the element has to be drawn from a wider area, and the success rate of magic drops significantly.
“But there… , Wizard Kim Do-jin doesn’t seem to be struggling at all.”
The healer seems to have been puzzled by how easily I can handle ice magic under such adverse conditions.
From the beginning of the dungeon, he kept staring at us with a burden. Was this what he wanted to ask?
After I paused for a while, the healer waved his hand with a surprised face.
“Ho, I apologize if this was a presumptuous question.”
“No, it’s not like that…”
The current reaction is rarely adapted.
If you wait a little bit, you’ll feel bad.
“You can just think that it is because I am a little more unique than others.”
“Ah, yes… That’s right.”
Actually for that reason.
This body is very sensitive to magical power, and even with a much smaller amount of magical energy than others, it can attract elemental particles in an incomparably wider range.
That’s why you can easily use ice magic even in this environment.
Oh, but if you ask if there is no risk, that’s not it again.
Apparently, since there are significantly fewer elemental particles in water, I’m using a little more magical power than usual to make up for it.
Of course, compared to others, it’s just a hemostasis.
As the story progressed, the party members who left for the capture returned.
“Then let’s start again!”
If we want to clear the dungeon in two and a half hours, we have to work harder.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
It’s been about two hours since we started clearing the dungeon.
Finally, we reached the end of the fire lizard’s lair.
All that remains is to attack the boss.
The boss here is a huge fire lizard that has grown to about ten times the size of the fire lizard.
Her name is Salamandra.
A tricky boss that cannot deal significant damage with tolerable ice magic thanks to its fierce flame that cannot be compared to that of a fire lizard.
“Excuse me… , Mage. Just this time, it’s good to match with us…”
The tanker also gave me a suggestion as if he was concerned about it.
To lighten his burden, he shook his head with a cheerful smile.
“Don’t worry, Tanker.”
Maybe I should use ordinary magic on a special monster.
“Because the number of spleens is prepared.”
“Ah… , I see.”
The tanker nodded with a slightly confused expression.
It’s a very unreliable face.
“If the number of spleens fails, I will try to match the sum with others.”
A tanker who straightens his feeble frown after listening to the comments.
“Then let’s go.”
Open the door straight to the boss room.
A giant flame that could be seen through the crack in the door that gradually opened, no, a giant lizard wrapped in flames.
Cra la la la la-!
A roar reverberating through the wide space pierces his ears.
A lifelike roar that would have been drowned out by public announcements had a lower-ranked Hunter heard it.
Shall we take out the trump number before he goes on a rampage?
When he put his hand inside the robe he wore and shook it, something soft clung to his finger as if he had been waiting for it.
Yes.
The number of spleen I prepared is just a pet… , No, it’s my pet slime.
Of course, Kkiseul-I itself is not a trump card.
“It’s okay, transform into a handle.”
The shape of the kkumseuli that was on the palm of your hand gradually changes, and the texture also changes.
From a lump of slimy slime to something absolutely solid.
I hold the changed guy in my hand and reach out from the robe.
Seeing this, the healer and archer tilt their heads.
“Handle… ?”
The form that Kkumseuli has changed is a swordsman, that is, a sword hilt.
I intend to cut that fire lizard guy with this.
What do you do with something that only has a handle?
Hold on to worry
The blade will be made from now on.
“Whoa…”
It unleashes an incomparable amount of mana to the surroundings.
At the same time, it scrapes up all the weak water elemental particles from far away, concentrates them in one place, and freezes them.
Bud deuk!
Fast!
The volume of water that increases exponentially as it freezes.
He forcibly presses it again and again, making a loud noise while trimming the ice that sticks out.
Now, if you extend this in the form of a thin sword body on top of the handle you are holding in your hand…
Damn it!
Cold air rushes around with a completely different sound than before.
Whoops!
It reached so far that it alerted the battle-ready Salamandra by stomping her feet.
Cra la la rock!
A fierce roar to shake off the sudden ominousness.
At the same time, fierce flames shoot out of its snout.
Fuhuaagh!
At first glance, he swung his sword towards the fierce flames that would not end in burns if he was hit.
The northern wind and cold snow that raged along the trail of the sword engulfed the creature’s flames, and even froze the fire-breathing snout.
Krak… , Kahak!
A guy who couldn’t even roar because his muzzle was frozen.
He goes straight up to the bastard and strikes the sword again.
It’s not just a blow.
Boris, a national savior who saved Russia from crisis several times.
It contains the movement of the time when hundreds of Russian mafia who rebelled to occupy the past regime were frozen with one sword.
「Snow Bringer.」
A cold wind that was incomparable to that of just a moment ago wrapped around Salamandra’s huge body.
Damn it!
A guy trapped in a giant ice.
The attack did not end here.
The blade-like wind that flew in succession shattered the huge ice.
With the massive body of Salamandra trapped inside.
Cooong! Koo!
Ice chunks containing the corpse fall to the floor.
Looking at it, he can only exclaim in admiration.
“Scent… , This should be at least grade A or higher, right?”
At this level, it is safe to say that it is a special move that the A-class hunter has hidden.
Even though he ate a lot of his mana, he was satisfied with his outstanding power.
“Joy… , It’s so sloppy.”
“… ?”
An unknown voice rings out.
Surprisingly, the source of the voice traced back is the transparent blade extending from the sword handle.
『Are you going to say that you dared to use me with just this much power, kid?』
“Uh, um.”
It seems that something outrageous has happened.
