Chapter 469 – Checking Growth (2)
It wasn’t that difficult to get to the location of the dungeon boss.
Even Seoyeon, the healer, could pass if she distributed her mana well, and it was no exaggeration to say that I, who could use mana without worrying about it, could kill a group of orcs with my will.

Yeonhwanryu (連環流) Chamjeol (斬切). Black and white twin wheels and black wheels.
Black Wheel Yunbo.
As the ring of shadow was joined by the energy of a sharp cut, the black ring, which was specialized for using physical force, changed to resemble chakram.
Creep! Creep! Creep!
The three rings in the air flew according to my will and quickly cut down the orc.
The sharpness is similar to that of a weapon made with Shadow Craft, but unlike the shadow weapon, which consumes mana when cutting, mana is consumed to maintain its shape, so it can be said that it consumes a little more mana.
It wasn’t a burden due to the improved mana recovery with Material Recharge, but it seemed a bit burdensome if you were using the seven that could be made at the maximum.
“It’s okay.”
I spoke as I retrieved the black wheel that had returned around me.
Until now, I had mainly used the power of the white wheel and recovered mana through the fire flame magic, but it wasn’t bad to use it in moderation like this.
Should I say that it seems a little more specialized in assassination? I had a little feeling that I had gotten into the habit of using too much force than necessary.
“Seeing how Xian fights, I don’t think there’s much difference between him and a wizard.”
“Once you grow to a certain level, you start fighting while releasing mana. The other friends in class Q are similar to me.”
“Hmm… I’m a little fast there. I’m also practicing my sword skills, and I’m ranked high in the warrior department.”
It definitely feels like we’re very fast.
That’s why I thought the professor beat us a little too hard on the final exam to prevent us from becoming overconfident.
If you compare it with the same first-year students, the difference is too big.
“Let’s go quickly. Shall we go to the academy, have lunch, and then go home?”
“Yeah. Haha… I bought a lot of ingredients, but you wouldn’t let me go, so things got weird.”
“Then are you going home right away?”
“Sian, if you don’t cook for me, shall we eat and go?”
Seoyeon said with a bright smile.
Well, maybe I should learn a little bit about cooking, right? Even what feels like miscellaneous skills can often be helpful if applied.
When I sensed a group of orcs using presence detection, I took out the black wheel into the air again.
Black Wheel Yunbo.
The black chakram split the air at very high speed to take the orc’s life.

Arrived at the shelter at the entrance to the boss room.
I took a quick look inside and found that this dungeon was not much different from the last time I was there. There were three trolls and a bunch of orcs in the boss room.
“I think Asui Miyama defeated most of the orcs in the past.”
“I swung a large sword and proceeded quickly. Didn’t you acquire the mental stability skill back then?”
“Ah. That’s right! You got it from here.”
When I remembered that, I glanced at the path Seoyeon had passed, as if I had a special feeling.
Although he didn’t kill many orcs at once using sword techniques like Asui, the sight of the black chakram chopping off the orc’s head from a distance could have been shocking to those with a weak stomach.
Looking at things like this, I felt that we were different from ordinary people who would feel uncomfortable just seeing life dying.
“What are you going to do about that? Honestly, even if I use magic, it’s hard to deal with that number.”
The Thunder Strike that Seoyeon uses for attack was quite useful against about 10 orcs, but when used in a place where there are about 50 orcs, its power drops significantly.
“Still, let’s push the limits. I’ll take care of the troll.”
“Okay, I’ll give it a try. When I think of the way you showed me when I came here, I felt like it was a waste to worry about you getting hurt.”
Seoyeon, who was initially worried that I might get hurt in the boss room, seemed to change her mind after seeing me not leaving my side and quickly taking out the orcs blocking the way.
There’s a chance you’ll get hurt if you fight while punching at close range, but since he uses attacks similar to those of a wizard.
“I don’t know if I should like you because I erase your worries?”
When I entered the boss room, the waiting orcs and trolls all turned their heads towards me.
The situation where the green-skinned monsters focused all their attention on me was actually good for me.
‘Let’s kill the troll first.’
He summoned a white wheel and quickly moved it over the troll’s head.
“Crrrr?”
The troll looked blankly at the white ring flying above his head and made a sound.
Skill Link-Boost
Breaking through the loop current. White wheel prayer beads.
White flames with added piercing power erupted from the white wheel.
Puhwaaaaa!
The prayer beads filled with piercing power stretched out toward a single point rather than what was normally used, and pierced the troll in one go.
No matter how excellent the troll’s regenerative ability was, it was pierced with a single point from the top of its head, so there was no other outcome other than instant death.
“Really…?”
“So…?”
The orcs were taken aback when the troll, who could be said to be the leader of the orcs, collapsed helplessly from the white flames.
And Seoyeon, who was chanting while watching the scene from behind, came forward and used the magic she had prepared, and a blue cloud rose above the heads of the group of orcs.
“Thunder Strike!”
The Quagga River!
The blue lightning struck the leading orc and electrocuted the surrounding orcs, demonstrating the power of magic.
‘Out of the 50, only about seven are completely dead.’
I thought that since I was an orc in the boss room, my stamina was a little stronger.
Even the orcs that did not die instantly could not escape the electric shock damage from Thunder Strike, and about half of them were frozen.
“I’ll go one more time!”
“Good. The orc was scared by the magic just now, so there will be plenty of time to chant.”
“Tryaaaaa!!”
As soon as he said that, the troll standing in the middle shouted loudly.
“Oooooh!”
“Kaaaaa!!!”
The orc who had been damaged by the spell had difficulty moving and was still frightened, but he reluctantly started running towards me when the troll, who could be considered his commander, shouted.
It seemed like a good choice to fight the orcs with his flag wrapped around his fist, but then there was a high chance of being caught up in Seo-yeon’s magic.
I don’t think I can use it with perfect control yet.
“I guess today is the day to fight like this.”
It’s not bad to fight from a distance using the black wheel, but I still felt it was lacking due to the lack of movement.
He held one of the shadow blades in each hand and threw it towards the leading orc.
Breaking through the spiral flow.
Pow! Poop!
The blade of shadow flew through the leading orc, but since the orc was not running in line with Oh, it did not cause much damage.
Two are definitely dead and there are about five orcs caught? Even if we failed to significantly reduce the number, we were able to slow down the Orcs’ charge.
“Thunder Strike!!!”
Seoyeon shouted loudly, probably because she used more mana this time.
Blue lightning fell from the sky, and a blue electric current spread around it.
Presence detection – Should I say it looks like waves were used? It was a slightly different feeling of a thunder strike rather than a single lightning strike and then spreading out.
‘It may have grown in the meantime.’
“Hehe… Xian, I used up all my mana.”
“For some reason, the power is strong. Then I’ll clear it and come back.”
Transcendent resonance of black and white twin wheels.
The ring of shadow and heat resonated, pushing my physical capabilities to the limit, and I ran forward.
As the Orcs hit by Thunder Strike died and there were very few Orcs left, it was decided to use the Black Wheel for treatment.
Black Wheel Yunbo.
Two black chakrams flew out to suffocate the remaining orcs, and I rushed forward without stopping until I arrived in front of the second troll.
Skill Link-Boost
Yeomryun Fist (炎輪拳) Five Wheel (Five Wheels). Circular flow diffusion.
White heat formed on the fist that passed through the five rings of white heat, and it struck the troll in the chest.
Wow!
The heart exploded from the impact of the heat-enveloped fist, and the remaining heat enveloped the troll’s entire body.
“Crackling!”
The troll let out a short sigh due to the heat that made it difficult to breathe and collapsed helplessly. The black wheel that returned from killing the orc was reported to the white wheel.
After absorbing the heat spreading around him using the Smoke Flame Magic, he accelerated towards the remaining trolls with the two white wheels on his back.
The final boss, the troll, was larger than the other trolls and had greatly mutated fists.
Did the guy Vulcan punched while wearing gray steel look like this?
Maybe it’s because I have low defense, but I prefer one-sided beatings rather than fighting, so I don’t plan on engaging in that type of battle.
“Even the current Vulcan will be defeated in an instant.”
I felt like I had grown a lot in less than half a year.
Skill Link-Boost
Yeomryun Fist (炎輪拳) Five Wheel (Five Wheels). Spiral breakthrough of continuous loop flow.
There is no need to combine the two attributes, and even if you use similar skills as before, you can show off incomparable power.
Kwahiah ahhhhh!
White flames spun and struck the troll, and the dungeon boss fell helplessly with a large hole in his chest.
I collected the heat scattered around me and waved my hand at Seoyeon.
Seoyeon, who quickly ran away from the corpses of the orcs and trolls, poured out words to me.
“From now on, don’t compare yourself with your classmates who are not in class Q. The difference is too big…!”
“I understand. I have to aim higher.”
I smiled, grabbed Seoyeon’s wrist, and walked towards the exit of the dungeon.

Shortly after exploring the dungeon, I decided on a goal.
‘Let’s improve the efficiency of skills.’
