Chapter 135 – End of Summer Vacation (6)
Asui Miyama began to open the way again, and the sword he used again did not become dull.
They continued to encounter large groups of monsters, but when Asui Miyama fired a sword technique that cut down the entire group of monsters, the monsters were cut into pieces.
Seoyeon had a hard time seeing that scene up to the second time, but when she cut down the third group, she was in good condition.
“Sian, I have gained mental stability skills.”
With her bitter smile, Seoyeon told me that I had gained a skill.
It seems that the skill was created through my training in killing a single monster using various weapons and the accumulation of Asui Miyama’s mass killings.
Is this already the second time we’ve seen Seoyeon work on her skills?
While giving me a massage, she created a skill called Healing Massage and this time, I gained a mental resistance skill.
‘This is why I was treated as the weakest member of the Academy.’
As I spent time with people who grew faster than the average student at the academy, I thought I was weak, but I also thought that things wouldn’t be much different down there.
I spent nearly half a year as an incompetent person among people who could acquire skills like that if they put in the right amount of effort.
“I think it would be very boring if there was only one troll in the boss room.”
Said Vulcan, who had never thrown a fist before.
“I think there are two. The last time I went into the advanced orc dungeon, it was full of trees, and there was an orc druid in the boss room. This time, there are a lot of enemies with subordinates. You might encounter a lot of trolls.”
Trolls are monsters that have regenerative powers and use their bodies beyond their limits to demonstrate monstrous strength. Is this because of Miyama Asui’s strength? Even though I thought there was a group of trolls, I wasn’t that scared.
Moreover, since there was Vulcan Ludric, I was as reassuring as the upperclassmen who accompanied me to the last advanced dungeon.
“Lots of trolls, that would be fun.”
“I don’t think there would be many people who would find that funny.”
Seoyeon responded to my words by nodding her head.
“What are you doing? Let’s go.”
After catching his breath, Asui Miyama called us.
It really feels like I’m eating a dungeon every day.
*
Asui Miyama fired his eighth sword technique and cut down a large group of monsters.
The eighth time, there were about ten orcs, and even those were cut down with a single sword.
From what I remember, Vulcan Ludric was ranked 2nd in practical skills in class Q, which means he is stronger than Asui Miyama. Does this mean that his body has no scratches from the sword?
‘It could have reached a level similar to that of the Diamond Buddha.’
As we moved forward a little further, Miyama Asui spoke.
“You were talking about a group of trolls earlier, right? It’s a little different, but there are a lot of them.”
Asui Miyama told us how he used presence detection to read the size of the enemies in the boss room.
I also have a skill that allows me to read the size of the enemy, so I used it right away.
Skill Link-Boost
Yeonyeom Shingong. Presence detection.
A wave that reads presence and heat spread around my body.
And we were able to quickly confirm the scale of the enemy we had to deal with.
Thirty orcs and four trolls? Among them, the one who could be said to be the real boss was slightly different in size.
It was clear that it was not an ordinary troll.
“There are four trolls. One more than expected?”
I didn’t have to worry about the Orcs because I could cut them down in an instant with Miyama Asui’s sword, but I didn’t think I could easily defeat the Trolls, especially the one who was the leader.
“There are four trolls. Are you sure?”
Vulcan Ludric asked me.
“Yes. I’m sure.”
“Good. I can fight with all my might for today.”
“Don’t you need auxiliary magic?”
“Okay. Let’s eat ice cream and fight.”
“Huh? Shall I give it to you now?”
“Yeah, that’s secondary magic to me.”
Seoyeon opened the cooler bag she was wearing and handed over a cup of ice cream and a spoon.
A happy smile appeared on Asui Miyama’s face as she opened a small cup of ice cream and took a bite.
“It’s okay for you to eat too. I bought four.”
It’s ice cream before the boss who leads the large army of monsters.
When Vulcan Rudrick held out his hand to Seoyeon, Seoyeon handed Vulcan Rudrick a small-looking cup of ice cream and a spoon.
“Sian, shall we eat too?”
“It’s like eating. Let’s eat.”
First of all, enemies might move in the boss room, so I expanded my presence detection a little and got some ice cream from Seo-yeon and ate it.
As the sweet taste spread in my mouth, I felt sugary.
“Ha. I really hope there aren’t any quests that take us far away from civilization.”
“It was worth it for you to take on such a quest while vacation was not far away, but it seems like it would be difficult if you took it during the semester.”
“We don’t have to attend anyway.”
“Still, I’m a little worried that I changed the written exam last time. If I mess up again, Chris Roanna will say something.”
“Roanna, you secretly hated that our grades were falling. No, you hated it out loud.”
As the conversation went on, the two people looked at me blankly.
I still did well in my notes until the midterm exam, but I completely failed the final exam.
“You’ll figure it out.”
Asui Miyama said that, put a spoon inside the half-eaten ice cream cup, closed it, and held it out to Seoyeon.
“Kip.”
“Was there a keep outdoors?”
Seoyeon smiled and put her ice cream back in the cooler bag. Seoyeon and I also finished eating and put it back in the bag.
As soon as Vulcan received it, he just ate it all out without using a spoon, so there was nothing but trash.
“Vulcan? I’ll take the trash and throw it away.”
“It’s a dungeon, so even if you throw it on the ground, it’ll disappear on its own, so it’s okay.”
Seoyeon tried to take the trash, but Vulcan Ludrick roughly threw it on the floor.
“Okay. Let’s finish before the ice cream melts.”
“Seoyeon, can you give me something to help me recover mana?”
“I understand.”
The blue wave that started from Seoyeon’s hand wrapped around my body.
The mana consumed while using the presence detection boost was fully recovered in a short while, and I was in perfect physical condition.
“I’ll open the road like before. It wouldn’t be fun if the troll dies from that attack too.”
As soon as Asui Miyama appeared where the group of monsters were, she unleashed her sword energy.
After recovering her mana through a brief rest, Asui Miyama’s sword energy flew out in a very neat manner like the first time, but a different situation unfolded than what we had experienced so far.
“Tra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-a-ra-a-ra!”
Wow!
The center of the group, a troll holding a huge bat, slammed his club down on the floor, and the flying sword energy disappeared without being able to cut down the orc.
“Yes. This is an advanced dungeon!”
Asui Miyama started firing sword techniques repeatedly.
He fired three consecutive sword strikes that could cut down a group of monsters in one go, but the troll leader struck down the bat at just the right time.
Thud! Thud! Boom!
“Tra la la la lattang!!!”
“Guuuuu!”
Then the orcs and trolls began to respond by simultaneously striking down their weapons in time.
“Huh…? Looks like something big has happened.”
Miyama Asui looked embarrassed by that appearance.
I thought I’d become reasonably strong, but it seems like I’ve gotten a little too strong?
“Asui, I’ll take charge of the big guy over there. Seoyeon Kim, please give me all the auxiliary magic I can.”
“I understand. Strength, magic power, stamina recovery, mana recovery. Four things! Sian, I’ll give it all to you too!”
Vulcan, who received all the auxiliary magic, ran forward and jumped high.
He then threw out his fist as he fell towards the troll in the center at great speed.
The captain troll swung the huge bat recklessly, and the moment the fist and the bat collided, a huge shock wave spread out.
Kwahiah Ah, Ah !!!
That Vulcan Rudric is weaker than Julian Loa.
“Hey. Seoyeon Kim, can I ask you a favor too?”
“Yes. Sian, it’s finished.”
“Okay. Then I’ll go too.”
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
While I was on my way to deal with the orcs, a hand-to-hand combat between the two giants began.
The troll leader swinging a huge bat and the Vulcan Rudric striking it with his forearm.
The other trolls seemed to trust their leader and began directing the orcs toward us in front of them.
“Tra la la!!!”
I thought about using Shadow Circle to throw a spear of shadow at the troll, but I decided to reduce the number of orcs first.
Shadow Craft, I made the most common longsword I’ve ever made.
I painfully realized that my swordsmanship skills are not enough to fight against skilled fighters, but I can kill monsters.
I reduced the range of presence detection to my surroundings and read the direction in which the orcs running at the front and the orcs behind them were moving.
The orc in the lead swung his half-cut rusty iron sword as soon as I got within range.
For that attack, if I had been up until now, I would have dodged backwards and stabbed the heart, but this time, I decided to fight without backing down.
I used Shadow Craft again to create a shield of an appropriate size for my left arm.
Kagak. Pooh wow.
He used his shield to shed the rusty sword and stabbed him right in the heart with the sword.
It was the same when fighting Roy and Naen. Isn’t the shield a fraudulent piece of equipment that amplifies one’s skills?
If you are fighting an opponent of the same skill level and only one side uses the shield, the win rate of the side that does not use the shield drops significantly.
In order for the side that doesn’t use it to win, it must be much stronger or be able to use a skill that can neutralize it.
He fell backwards while pushing the corpse of an orc whose heart had been stabbed with a sword.
Meanwhile, Asui Miyama, who had received all of Seo-yeon’s auxiliary magic, was cutting down an orc with a sword clad in a sword.
Was the power amplified by channeling sword energy into the sword rather than using an area attack?
No, that’s the basics, and the release of sword energy is an advanced form.
It is also worth considering that the basics are stronger than the applied ones.
‘Could it be that the extreme level of Yan Lun Fist is stronger than the Shadow Circle?’
I don’t know for sure because I haven’t seen Master Yeomwang use the Yeomryun Fist with all his might.
‘Start with the orcs!’
We have to deal with all the guys who push with numbers so that there are no more guys who play tricks on Seoyeon!
