Chapter 74 – Nangjungjichu(8)
Water stream sword.
That’s the name of the sword she just used.
I didn’t build it myself, my colleagues built it after the characteristics of swordsmanship.
Until that guy was introduced, the water stream sword was the only swordsmanship in the world.
The reason is simple.
Because I made it, and I’ve never taught anyone else.
When I was young, I tried to teach Seo-yeon, but because Han Joo-hee dissuaded me, I only used it.
But how is Seoyeon using that swordsmanship?
For a moment, I thought of Jjam Siu, who stole my body, but I quickly erased it from my mind.
That’s not a swordsmanship that can be used and taught just because my body was taken over.
The hand-water sword is my own version of the swordsmanship I have learned and mastered over the decades of my life as a hunter.
It is highly likely that even Jjam Siu himself will not be able to deal with it, let alone teach it to someone.
All he stole was my body.
If I can look into the memories in my head, I don’t know if it’s possible to experience the experience indirectly… , Well.
Is experience something that can only be learned through indirect experience?
“Don’t you think you saw that swordsmanship somewhere?”
“Well… , But it looks familiar.”
Shin Yoo-jung and Baek Ji-hoon, who use swords in their own way, seemed to recognize that swordsmanship a little, but they couldn’t figure out that it was a hand-sword.
I handled it fairly skillfully, but it might be because it’s far short compared to the hand grenade I was using.
“It’s a victory that only hurts.”
Looking at Son Seo-yeon, who had reached the end of the dungeon alone, Shin Yoo-jung said that with a sour expression.
After being beaten by the orcs and goblins, the four were captured by mechanical arms and transported to the infirmary.
They met the worst possible end.
It would be better if the ability was lacking or if the sum didn’t match from the beginning and creaked.
The guys went well, but after fighting and antagonizing among themselves, they broke up.
“I’m going to eat it to make you curse.”
“I know.”
You can tell just by looking at Professor Lim Cheol-woong’s expression.
He looks like he’s struggling to contain the anger that has risen to the top of his head now.
“… Article 10 next.”
As if he had waited, he got up and followed the party members heading to the armory.
Tanker Shin Yoo-jeong chose sword and shield, scouting and melee handling, Baek Ji-hoon with two daggers, archer Hyeon-seok with a bow and quiver, and Im Na-eun with a wizard-like staff.
I was looking at them blankly.
To be honest, I didn’t see them, I was just staring into space.
It’s because the shock I got from seeing Seo-yeon’s swordsmanship a moment ago didn’t go away.
In addition to that, I felt even more confused because questions came up in many ways.
“Hey, didn’t you choose a weapon?”
At that time, Shin Yoo-jung pointed to the staff hanging on the wall of the armory and said.
Weak mana was sloppily entangled around the staff.
The wizard’s weapons are divided into three types: staff, wands, and orbs.
Each weapon has unique characteristics: amplification, casting speed, and storage.
Amplification literally increases the power of magic, and casting speed increases casting speed by accelerating the flow of magic within the body.
Orbs are similar to memorize spells.
It stores a certain number of magic for each grade and allows you to take it out and use it when you want.
Staffs are all wizard weapons in the arsenal.
It’s a cheap staff provided for student practice….
As quality is quality, it must have a magic amplification attribute equal to one mana.
Instead, I held a dagger in my hand.
“This is all you need.”
“What is it, for self-defense?”
“Uh.”
Suddenly, he slightly frowned and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
“Hey, this older sister will block everything from the front, so hold on to your worries.”
Cute guy.
Do you think the reason I’m carrying the dagger is because I don’t trust myself?
“It’s not that I don’t trust you and I’m taking care of it, it’s just that I’m preparing for the eventuality.”
Hehe… , Is not it?”
It’s surprising again.
How can my mood go back and forth with just one word I said?
It is clearly conveyed that they think of me as a special being.
I don’t know if it’s because of my ability or because it’s the first person I’ve had sex with.
Well, actually, it doesn’t matter either way.
Whatever the reason, it feels good to be considered special by someone.
“If you’re ready, let’s go!”
Shin Yoo-jung shouts with a happy expression.
The head of our party was Shin Yoo-jung.
Me and Im Na-eun, Baek Ji-hoon and Hyun-seok.
Because he is the link between the four of us in the party.
Shin Yoo-jeong takes the lead and opens her door and enters.
It is terribly damp to pass through the door, and the characteristics of a humid cave are conveyed intact.
“I feel it every time I come, but my ability to implement it comes and goes.”
Any institution specializing in training hunters has at least one simulated dungeon.
However, if I were to choose the best among them, I would choose the mock dungeon of Korea University.
Why?
A forest is a forest, a cave is a cave.
Unlike other simulated dungeons that are fixed in one form, this is because it is possible to change the structure into various saved forms by changing the settings.
Thanks to this, Korean university students can experience a variety of environments with just one simulated dungeon.
I don’t know how that’s possible.
Only the person who made this knows.
Magic engineering, a new discipline created by combining magic and science.
Korea is called an advanced country that leads the world in magic engineering.
It is not because our country’s overall technological prowess is outstanding, but because of the existence of a genius who happened to be born as a Korean.
This is a simulated dungeon created by the genius.
The correct name is Haitai No. 8.
As you can guess just by hearing the name, he is the same person who created the identity authenticator Haitai 1.
For reference, the Haitai series exists until issue 99.
I heard that they are preparing something special for the 100th issue, but what will it be?
“Hey, wait….”
When she reached her first point, Im Na-eun, who was walking silently next to her, stopped.
“There are a few things I need to prepare before the battle. Could you give me some time?”
“How much?”
“Five minutes is enough.”
Shin Yoo-jung, the head of the party, pondered for a while and nodded her head.
“… Great. Naeun, you start the preparation right away, and wait for 5 minutes for the rest.”
What the hell did you ask for 5 minutes to do?
While watching her curiously, Im Na-eun started drawing her magic circle.
Twenty strokes drawn in a circle.
The magic circle radiated blue light, and the magic was completed.
What appeared before long was a sphere of red flames, a fireball.
Why are you casting magic all of a sudden?
While wondering, a transparent droplet rises from her empty palm.
… It’s not magic.
Mana moved, but there was no magic circle.
Then, is that a characteristic of Im Na-eun?
Feeling my gaze, Im Na-eun held out her bell toward me and showed it to me.
“I will show you something interesting. Look Carefully?”
Transparent bubble in one hand, fireball in the other.
A strange thing happened when her hands touched her apart.
The fire ball floating on her right hand went into the bell of her left hand.
“This drop is my trait. If you put magic here, you can take it out and use it whenever you need it.”
“Five….”
It is a very unique and useful feature.
I don’t know how far the limit is, but if she puts magic into several bells and explodes them all at once, she will be able to deal tremendous damage in an instant.
Naeun Lim steadily repeated her work to create five bells behind my back.
“If you touch it wrong, won’t it explode?”
“Well… , I did an experiment with the help of the association the other day, and even an attack from a B-class hunter was easily blocked.”
“Huh?”
The defensive power that blocks even the attacks of B-rank hunters?
It looks like soap bubbles and has considerable defensive power.
“Wow… , If you stock up on five fireballs, we will end up without a chance to play an active role.”
Baek Ji-hoon burst into admiration.
Hyeon-seok didn’t just talk, but he had a surprised expression on his face, and Shin Yoo-jung did the same.
“… Let’s go now.”
Shin Yoo-jung immediately gave the order to depart.
Within a few steps, a fairly wide cavity appeared.
An orc standing in the center of the place notices us and lets out a fierce cry.
Quake!
In a state of anger, it is mixed with joy and life, as if the anger met the other person.
“Ha!”
Shin Yoo-jeong runs ahead and blocks the guy in front of him, trying to compete.
“Ugh… , This bastard is pretty strong… !”
Possibly having similar strength, both sides are facing each other tightly without being pushed back.
But that’s for a while.
Piyuung!
An arrow calmly shot by Hyeon-seok landed precisely in the orc’s thigh.
The hit rate is quite usable.
An ability worthy of use as an archer with a timid personality.
It is understandable why he was taken by Baek Ji-hoon.
Good luck!
A roar mixed with pain and anger.
“Oh, the smell!”
Shin Yoo-jeong’s shield hit her chest hard.
The guy frowns in pain and steps back.
It was then.
“Clear!”
When Lim Na-eun uttered a short command, a bubble surrounding the fireball disappeared with a popping sound.
The fireball flew right through and caused a considerable explosion in the orc’s ship.
Whoops!
The flames burst out in an instant and wrapped around the orc.
Kwyi profit! Kwy… !
While he struggles in pain, Baek Ji-hoon returns to his back and stabs the dagger without hesitation.
Kwakdeuk!
The new type of orc with a dagger stuck in the nape of his neck fell like a piece of rotten wood.
“Good job everyone.”
“Hey~ Our sum is really good, right?”
What.
… Why do you guys get along so well except for me?
It’s not like I’m the only one who can’t work… ?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Voila.
But it actually happened.
“Is this the end?”
“Uh, three goblins and two orcs.”
“It would be a little tough with five special objects, but it wouldn’t be difficult with the sum of us.”
At some point, the dungeon left the last room.
Surprisingly, I hadn’t done much so far.
Should I say that I didn’t do it, or did I not do it?
It’s all because of Naeun Im.
It is quite useful to store magic in soap bubbles and use it.
If I prepare before the battle, I won’t have to go through the long casting time, which is a chronic problem for wizards, so the work ends while I prepare the magic.
If you set your mind to it, you can prepare magic as quickly as he did.
To be honest, if it’s annoying enough, I’ll take it, but I’m worried that something will happen that I can’t handle as of now.
Still, it’s held up well so far.
With the last room approaching, now I have no choice but to play an active part.
“Sorry, I can’t make bells anymore.”
There was a downside to her characteristics that couldn’t be better for a wizard.
There is a limit to the number of drops that can be created per day.
In the room a while ago, she used the last tenth bell.
So now I have no choice but to cast magic honestly.
Hehe.”
I laughed so softly that no one could hear.
Now it’s my turn.
“Then let’s go. Naeun doesn’t have drops anymore, so don’t forget that.”
“OK.”
Baek Ji-hoon smiles cheerfully and answers the guy’s words.
The last room we finally reached.
Three goblins and two orcs who had been settling down in advance flashed their eyes.
“Then go!”
Shin Yoo-jung blocks the two goblins and orcs.
Baek Ji-hoon is in charge of aggro for each of the remaining ones.
“Mmm.”
I thought about it for about 3 seconds.
I need a room for sure.
Something splendid that can imprint the me who was invisible until now.
“Ah.”
Remembered
Destructive power is also destructive, but it is a very cool magic to look at.
At the same time as making the decision, the mana within the body circulates according to the will.
Magical power that begins to gather in the palm of your hand.
Its color is purple.
「Lightning Ball.」
A purple lightning ball was created that bounced around the top of the palm.
Here is not the end.
It forcibly compresses this with the overwhelming magical power control ability.
Quick! Jigsaw… !
Lightning-type magic is always extensive.
Because.
It was because the magical properties were born and ate like that.
I can’t stand still and I like to run amok here and there.
That’s why even high-ranking mages wouldn’t even attempt this kind of compression, but I can.
Because my ability to manipulate magical power itself has already far exceeded normal.
Patsutsu patsutsut
A Lightning Ball shrunk to the size of a giant marble candy that I enjoyed eating as a child.
On top of that, another layer of magic is applied.
The magical power of the wind to be in charge of a kind of shield and diffusion.
「Air Ball.」
The wind that constantly blows in a certain radius wraps the small lightning orb.
Now one last one.
Pour a thick layer of gently flowing water over the wind.
「Water Ball.」
It’s done.
My secret weapon that I saved.
Three-ball magic with a brilliant name.
I shouted at Shin Yoo-jung and Baek Ji-hoon, who were confronting the enemy in the lead.
“Stay far back.”
As if he had waited, Shin Yoo-jung steps back, and Baek Ji-hoon, who saw this, also steps back slowly.
I don’t like the look of disapproval.
I’m afraid that will be wiped out as well.
After confirming that the two were backing away, I immediately shot the sphere.
The target point is the center of the monsters the two were leading.
Sequentially release the control forces surrounding the spheres that have arrived at the desired location.
The first thing to pop is an air ball.
As the wind caught in the middle spreads in all directions, the thick water barrier that surrounds it also scatters.
The range was enough to cover all the Orcs and Goblins standing here and there.
Check the water droplets that have spread enough, and release the lightning orbs that have been pressed to the limit.
Brain energy, which had been piled up in a small space, spreads in all directions at an explosive speed riding on water droplets.
Jiggly Jiggly!
The chain shape drawn by the purple lightning that runs through water droplets without hesitation is truly spectacular.
As evidence of that, the mouths of the four people who are watching this blankly do not know how to open and close.
Cuckoo… !
Kirup… !
The bodies of the orcs and goblins hit by the lightning are charred.
Five soots of charcoal appeared in an instant.
“Well.”
Looking at this, I thought of a better name than three-ball magic.
The five charred charcoals resembled my secret dish, which I practiced during busy times to serve to my family on the weekend.
Especially since it’s so charred that it’s hard to tell what it was originally.
“Overcook….”
From now on, the name of this magic is overcooked.
I must have decided on a name for the magic. I thought that this would have been enough to save face. As I let out a sigh of relief, a black shadow fell under my feet.
When she raises her head, Shin Yoo-jung is jumping towards me with her arms wide open.
“100 million… !”
I couldn’t overcome the power that the guy who ran into what happened in the middle of the day, and eventually rolled on the ground together.
He hugged me tightly and shouted with a thrilled voice.
“You are the best… !”
Her spirit, which had been excited for a while, calmly subsides at the subtle scent of a woman’s body that emanates from her arms.
I put my arms lightly behind his back and closed my eyes in regret.
I’m not going to give it to you, why didn’t you take off your armor and come back….
😂
