Chapter 39 – Shouldn’t We Pursue Weird Situations in Dungeons? (8)
Black smoke slowly rises from the charred corpse of the goblin.
A movement distinct from smoke caused by burns.
Now I naturally reach for it and push it into my body.
The core where the heart is located feels very slightly heavy.
Contrary to the pure magic I use, it is a mixture of turbid magic.
[You have succeeded in absorbing magic from the goblin’s corpse.]
Messages popped up all the time.
Although the amount increased, there was no visible increase in the number.
“Is it natural?”
If you kill a goblin and your magical power goes up, it’s ridiculous.
“It’s more boring than I thought….”
Fainting a bit
The goblins living here are the weakest individuals within their species.
If you compare it to a human society that has no job or anything, it’s about 13 very ordinary citizens?
In addition to that, the power of my magic seems to be stronger than I thought.
Fire Missiles are said to cause a small explosion when hit, but isn’t it hard to see it as a small explosion if it burns the goblin’s body?
Thanks to this, the number of onlookers increased from one to two.
It’s because the goblin’s foot magic was dealt with in one shot, so Shin Yoo-jung’s chance to step out was gone.
That’s how we arrived at the mid-to-late half of the dungeon.
「Lightning Bolt.」
It was around the time when he successfully completed even the lightning-type magic, which is said to be the most difficult to handle due to his rampaging nature, and fired it at the goblin’s body.
A strange noise was heard.
【… Cast … Do it.]
A rough voice like scraping metal.
It was so small and faint that I couldn’t hear what he was saying, but I was sure I heard something.
I looked around in amazement.
Yoon Ji-an looks at the tablet in her hand and at me as she writes something on her, while Shin Yoo-jung looks over to see if there is anything she can salvage from the goblin’s corpse.
“Didn’t you both hear something?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I didn’t hear anything….”
The two of them looked at me incredulously and answered.
Judging by the look on their faces, it seems they haven’t really heard anything.
Then, I was the only one who heard the sound a moment ago….
“Hey, why?”
Shin Yoo-jung, who had approached me before I knew it, was staring at me with her questionable eyes.
“No, nothing.”
Once I took it off as nothing.
In this situation, it’s good if you don’t get treated like a weirdo if you say you heard something.
It reminded me of the cool name of this dungeon.
Kalash’s Trial.
If something befitting the name of the dungeon is about to begin, I wonder if that sound will be heard again at any time.
Or not.
“Shall we take a break?”
Shin Yoo-jung asked.
He seemed to have judged that the reason I was standing still was because I was tired.
“No, let’s just go.”
It doesn’t matter what happens in the dungeon.
One of the proverbs handed down among hunters.
I’ve never seen a guy who ignored this and survived that long.
So, long before entering the dungeon, I did not use mysticism and accumulated my mana one by one.
The accumulated magic power is 25.
At this amount, dozens of basic magics were easily fired.
Because of the use of various magics as if experimenting, the mana consumption was slightly higher than expected, but it was still not enough to take a break.
Maybe because I’m wearing a robe that speeds up my magic recovery, it’s easier than usual to recover my magic power.
“If you need to rest, tell me anytime?”
“Oh, okay.”
The worried tone is sweet again.
I can feel the blatant intention to enter a full-fledged phase in order to cause something with me.
The guy still didn’t seem to know.
The fact that the more your attitude towards me changes, the more you are tamed.
A distant future that has come so far that you can never come back.
What kind of expression do you have when you realize it belatedly?
I hope that day comes soon.
In order to do that, I need to leave a little bigger impact in this dungeon.
Just in time, the opportunity to do so has arrived.
A huge door at the end of which you reached after killing goblins while constantly casting magic.
Beyond that door lies the strongest monster in this dungeon.
Hunters call the space beyond that door like this.
Boss Room.
“It’s a boss battle now, so let’s take a break.”
“Okay.”
Shin Yoo-jeong, who was sitting on the ground, patted the seat next to me with her hand.
I shuddered and walked over and gently sat down next to him.
Then he put his arm around my shoulder and asked me with a pleased expression.
“Hey, are you really the first?”
“Right… ?”
I feel a faint suspicion in my eyes.
“But why are you so good at it? You don’t seem to be nervous.”
Among the various excuses that come to mind, choose the one that will score the most points and spit it out.
“It’s just because you said you’d block everything… , I believed it.”
Perhaps because of the completely unexpected answer, Shin Yoo-jung opened her eyes wide.
But for a moment, he pokes my side with a smile on his lips.
Hehe, so you didn’t get nervous because you trusted me?”
“Yes.”
Then, not knowing what to say, he cleared his throat, cleared his throat, and then opened his mouth.
“From now on, I will reliably block you, so you trust only me, only me. Okay?”
After saying “Only me” With particular emphasis, I glare at Yoon Ji-an, who is sitting far away.
Then look at me
“And I like that she doesn’t trust her too much.”
“Why… ?”
When she asked with her tone of not knowing why, Shin Yoo-jung suppressed her words with a frustrated expression.
“You are from the Association! I don’t know what kind of guys your association is, but I saw it….”
A bowl of curses about the association comes out.
To say that she is doing work in advance to get my nose pierced, and that that woman is also being nice to you.
It’s really cute how he tries to separate me and Ji-an Yoon somehow.
“So, don’t get counseling or something like that.”
“Um… , I think Jian is a good person.”
As soon as the words were hinted at, the boy’s eyes changed completely.
“Hey, what did I say earlier?”
At the low, bleak voice, this two-headed body naturally shrinks again.
Burst inside, testimony.
I peered into his eyes for emotions.
Desires and obsessions that slowly begin to boil.
Every time clear, clean, black emotions stir up, it strangely stabs in the chest.
Only now do I feel that this is the real beginning.
“Uh… , To believe only you?”
The arm on my shoulder gained a little more strength.
A face that naturally gets closer.
“Okay. I’m talking about you because I’m really worried about you.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“But that woman is not in a position to worry only about you. Understand?”
“… Okay. If you are, then so be it.”
I followed the guy’s words with the most foolish expression.
Then, a deep smile forms on the boy’s lips.
“If you have any concerns in the future, tell me everything.”
“You can really talk about everything… ?”
I wonder what he would do if he kept telling me that his cock would get an erection.
“Yeah, whatever. Because this sister will solve everything. Okay?”
“Yes.”
At first, he replied that he would know.
It was only through the series of actions shown now that it became clear.
Shin Yoo-jung intends to make me a fool who cannot live without her.
Does it look bad? No, not at all.
Rather, I’m thinking similarly, well.
The greatest value I have for him is that he is a talented wizard.
In other words, wouldn’t it be that you want an excellent dealer who can suffocate monsters when you are tanking?
I plan to focus on that part.
I became convinced that everything would follow naturally if I remodeled the body into a body that could only be satisfied by a non-dealer.
“I’m all rested now.”
“Okay? Then let’s catch the boss and go back.”
Shin Yoo-jung, who got up after brushing her butt, stood in front of the door to the boss room and asked me.
“Then open it?”
“Yes.”
She put her hand on the center of her door.
Then, a blue light began to fill the lines that ran around her door.
When that beam of light spreads over the entire door, the door opens.
It was then.
【… Prove that.】
The unpleasant sound that had been heard before was heard again.
The voice is still small, but louder than before.
It seems to be proving something, but I haven’t heard the part about what the hell.
But it doesn’t seem to be much of a problem.
The fact that the voice now sounds louder than before means that it is closer to its source.
When that heavy door opens and a sound is heard once more, then you will know what you have to prove.
A beam of blue light finally spread across the door.
Geug geuk geuk geuk….
The heavy door began to open slowly, scattering stone debris.
“Prepare.”
A large space was revealed that could accommodate dozens of people.
In the center of it, a goblin with green skin and reddish tints, holding an old, shabby helmet and armor, a sword with chipped teeth, and a worn-out shield, stood glaring at me strongly.
Hobgoblin.
A guy of about the same height as me, with a bulky body.
It depends on the individual, but the hobgoblin, known to be at least ten times stronger than a normal goblin, is the owner of this boss room.
Next to her, Shin Yoo-jung pats her on my shoulder and encourages her.
“Just do it like now.”
“Yes.”
While exchanging short stories.
“Keeeh!”
He let out a grotesque sound, whether it was a scream or a roar, and started running towards us.
“Haa!”
Shin Yoo-jeong, who confirmed this, also rushed as if she had waited, spewing out her spirits.
More powerful than ever.
Caang! Chaeng!
The goblin’s shield is Shin Yu-jeong’s sword.
Shin Yoo-jung’s shield is a goblin sword.
Their swords and shields engage each other.
“Keii… !”
While Hobgoblin is trying her best to push it away, Shin Yoo-jung blocks him with a more relaxed expression.
In fact, if Shin Yoo-jung’s skill level is enough, she should be able to easily defeat three Hobgoblins by herself.
Nevertheless, the reason why I maintain a defensive attitude is because this is the place for my real battle.
Thanks to the rest, he used the mana that had risen to attract the mana around him.
I could clearly see the flow of magical power revolving around me.
Do you know what one of the criteria for testing wizards’ abilities is?
It’s just multiple casting.
A minimum of two and a maximum of ten.
It refers to the method of drawing multiple magic circles at the same time and using multiple magics in a single breath.
Drawing a magic circle with a different number of strokes and different drawing directions at the same time is no different from drawing a triangle with your left hand and a square with your right hand.
It means that it is difficult and complicated.
When I heard about multi-casting from director Chul-Soo Park, I had such a question.
For me who can use magic without drawing a magic circle, is multi-casting easy or difficult?
In conclusion, it was neither easy nor difficult.
Because I, who use magic more intuitively, all I had to do was to divide the magic power to be used for magic, color it, and arrange the magic differently.
It divides the magical energy that gathers and flows in half between each hand.
And each color is different.
In her left hand, a red orb the size of Shin Yoo-jung’s head was made, and in her right hand, a translucent sphere the same size was made.
Ball series magic that goes beyond the basics and corresponds to the beginner level.
「Fire Ball & Air Ball.」
In fact, when compared to Fire Missiles, Fire Balls do not change much except for their destructive power.
The bigger it flies, the bigger the explosion.
An air ball is literally a sphere created by compressing air.
The moment it hits the desired point, it explodes compressed air to dissipate the shock.
When I learned these two, a more powerful way of using it came to my mind.
I thought it would be much more powerful if I put a fire ball inside the air ball and throw it together.
As soon as it hits the desired point, the air ball bursts and the air scatters, and the fire ball flames soar along the way?
Bring your hands close to each other and merge the fireball and airball into one.
Of course, it’s not like they’re merged just by pushing them in, and I adjusted it so that it doesn’t interfere with either side until it explodes by moving the magic power.
Magic was created that looked like a flame burning inside a transparent glass bead.
What’s a good name
“Um, Fire… , Spring?”
The fireworks will burst coolly, so an intuitive name like this wouldn’t be bad either.
After aiming the Fire Bomb at the Hobgoblin, he shouted at Shin Yoo-jung.
“Step back!”
At the same time, I trusted him and entered the starter word I made up a moment ago to fire the magic.
「Fire Bomb.」
Shin Yoo-jeong quickly stepped back and at the same time, the magic she fired reached the bewildered Hobgoblin’s torso.
As the air ball surrounding the outer surface bursts, the air that has accumulated in it bursts out.
Then it’s Fireball’s turn.
Blazing flames swelled up, consuming the air that scattered in all directions.
“Uh.”
I have a problem.
The size of the inflated flame is much larger than I expected… ?
If left as it is, the flames will affect the place where Shin Yoo-jung is.
“Ah… !”
Shin Yu-jeong, noticing this, is startled and raises her shield.
That fool!
Sparks are flying in all directions, but how can you block them all with a shield that can only cover your torso!
“Tanks say that’s their problem.”
She chooses to block rather than avoid just because her body is strong, and gets hurt even more.
I have to teach them everything, starting with footwork later.
Immediately, she gathers her magic and tightly blocks Shin Yoo-jung’s surroundings.
「Shield.」
When I typed her starter word, a whitish protective film was created around her.
And that moment.
Wow-!
Beep-
With a roar, the fireworks finally exploded.
The hot heat rushed in with the unpleasant tinnitus ringing in the ears.
