Chapter 93 – Lake Park (3)
To close the gate that appeared in the lake water, you have to dive and enter the gate.
It’s not just a good swimmer, it’s difficult without a skill or magic that allows you to stay submerged for a long time.
Just in case, I asked Choi Da-hyun and Lee Rin.
“No, I can’t.”
“Of course not! In the first place, there aren’t many parties in Korea where you can dive in.”
I knew it.
None of me, Dahyun Choi, or Rin Lee can enter this gate.
Cried Catherine, raising her hand.
“I can enter with diving magic, master!”
“Okay?”
“However, since I have to keep using magic, my combat power is higher than usual, um… It should be reduced by about 40%!”
It seemed like it was because he had to fight while using diving magic.
Anyway, it wasn’t bad that even Catherine could enter the gate.
However, I was a bit worried, though it might be unfounded.
Because I have to enter the gate alone with 40% reduced combat power.
“For now, let’s have Katrin go in as a last resort.”
“Does not matter! Even if you go inside anyway, it would be a monster like this!”
“It’s because I’m out of my mind. You know I like you.”
“Yes. Got it, master.”
I just said the obvious, but Katrin blushed slightly.
… Now that I think about it, I’ve never directly said that I like him.
For some reason, the reaction was cute, so I whispered in my ear.
“I love you, Catherine.”
“Oops… !”
Her face grew redder, she said softly.
“Now, if you keep doing that, your pussy will get wet, Master… ♡”
I thought about it while touching her shy breasts from behind.
Even now, I can’t leave the gate where piranhas continue to pop out.
One of the characteristics of orange piranhas is their huge population.
Although evacuation is taking place, civilian victims will appear one after another until all the piranhas are killed.
How to temporarily stop piranhas from coming out of the gate without entering the gate…
All you have to do is hold out until the underwater professional hunter party comes here.
I had no intention of forcibly clearing a dungeon that I could not break through.
‘Can’t I just freeze it?’
A situation where the gate is in the water.
Piranhas also swim and jump to the ground.
A gate is, after all, a kind of door.
If you open the door and go out, it is very difficult to break through if it is blocked by an ice-like solid.
I conveyed my thoughts to Catherine as it is.
Among them, Katrin is the only one who can freely use ice magic.
“I know how to use ice magic now!”
Erin shouted, turning her head towards her.
Oh, come to think of it, she practiced in the magic club these days.
It seemed like it was all over.
He removed her hand from Katrin’s chest and moved closer to Irene’s back behind her.
Then he put her arm around her armpit and squeezed Erin’s breasts over her clothes.
“Good job. Wouldn’t it be better to have more magic power?”
“Huh… ♡”
I bet 3000 times the mana response on Irin.
There are so many Catherines, so I don’t think we need more.
Irin stared at her empty space as if looking at her status window.
Soon, her eyes widened to an unprecedented size.
It must have been because the maximum amount of mana, which seemed to be fixed, increased steadily.
“Is this enough?”
“Oh, how amazing… ! I don’t think it would be enough to use ice magic all day today!!”
Now that her mana had been recharged, she removed her hand from her chest and stepped back a bit.
Soon, magical energy surged from Katrin and Irin’s bodies.
Katrin created her magic circle above her lake, and Irin in front of the arrow that formed when she drew her bowstring.
Damn—.
The water in the lake quickly began to freeze as Irin shot an arrow lightly and Katrin activated her magic circle.
Whole piranhas swimming in the water and trying to come up to the ground.
Even the piranhas that had just arrived from the other world could only hammer their heads into the thick ice.
“Oh, he’s dead!”
Dahyun Choi pointed with her finger at the piranha whose head had hit the ice.
It was a monster that was only good at biting people, so there was no attack power to break the ice.
The defense is also weak.
The effect of freezing the lake water was better than expected.
The only thing left to do now is to subdue the piranhas that are looking for something to come up to the ground and bite.
Although it will take some time as you have to go through the entire park.
“There… All!”
“Here too!”
“Abyo!!”
While running around the lake, I killed the piranhas trying to enter the park.
The general public had been rescued earlier, and the park management office guided them to evacuate, so fortunately there seemed to be no additional victims.
… In the meantime, Katrin was imitating Bruce Lee as what she saw on her smartphone again.
Suddenly I felt something strange.
I took out my smartphone and checked the time.
More than an hour has passed since I called Director Won Eun-gyeong.
Why didn’t the ambulance, healer, or hunter come?
Once again, I called Director Won Eun-kyung.
-I was going to call you right now.
“Why isn’t the support staff coming?”
-The support personnel were driving towards the park, but they all got into a car accident. Suddenly, some car didn’t hit the brakes and hit it. I’m investigating now. So.
“… Yes?”
Picking out only cars with support personnel in them?
Even elementary school students passing by will know this.
That someone is deliberately interfering.
Thinking so, I wondered if the underwater gate that appeared in the lake was a coincidence.
But a gate is a kind of natural disaster.
It is impossible for someone to deliberately open the gate.
At least it was like that in terms of learning at the academy and common sense.
Director Won Eun-gyeong conveyed the fact that she had spoken to Catherine, Choi Da-hyeon, and Lee Rin.
“Let’s go back to the gate.”
“Yes.” “Yes.”
The motive was unknown, but there was one possibility.
Hearing the news that monsters appeared, he quickly set out to interfere.
To extend harm to the common people.
If so, they will see us as a group interfering with their plans.
It is very likely that they will do something about the lake water we froze before attacking us.
“Fuck, it’s filthy hard!”
“Oh, how do you do this?”
Again, some men were standing on the ice.
Only 10 people.
An Awakener with a fire-type skill was eagerly pouring flames into the ice and trying to melt it.
The other people were all hunters, so they tried hard to break the ice by hitting it with various weapons or jumping big.
Dahyun Choi talked to the men before me.
“Hey! What are you doing?!”
All 10 men startled and turned their heads toward us.
And after talking quietly among themselves, they took out their hunter licenses from their arms.
“It’s our party specializing in underwater warfare, but you guys froze it up so we can’t enter right now! What are you going to do!!”
The man yelled
Looking at his license, he was a C-class hunter.
He looked at his face with suspicion and said.
“It is strange. I was contacted a while ago. The support staff sent by the Hunter Association are all in a car accident and can’t come.”
“That, that…”
As if taken aback by my words, the man rolled his eyes.
He immediately went on to say, “Ah, ah!”
“I am just like you.”
“Is it the same?”
“We also came to see the cherry blossoms, and a monster appeared, so what are you doing here, tracking uh, tracking the gate.”
Cherry blossom viewing with ten men.
… No, it’s not impossible, but since the situation was a situation, it was somehow unnatural.
All the men pointed at us and scolded us.
They say that it is a problem because we arbitrarily freeze the lake water.
If they were really a hunter party specializing in underwater warfare, they would make Katrin rust.
But is it really a hunter party specializing in underwater warfare?
“Could you please be quiet for a moment?”
“What?! It’s just a matter of students telling us what to do!!”
“Because I know a little bit about the Hunter Association Disaster Safety Director.”
“The Disaster and Safety Director… ? I hope that Won Eun-kyung… ?!”
Guys starting to panic.
If you’re a normal hunter, there’s no reason to panic.
Just like a person who has not committed a crime does not tremble just because he has a brief meeting with the chief of police.
I took out my smartphone and called Director Won Eun-kyung again.
Put it in speakerphone mode.
I wondered if he was busy and wasn’t answering the call, but luckily he connected right away.
-What’s up, student Daeseung?
I explained it as it is.
We froze the lake water to temporarily block the underwater gate, but some C-rank hunters are trying to break the ice, claiming that they are a party specializing in underwater combat.
So he said that they really called to ask if they were hunters specializing in underwater warfare.
Then Director Won Eun-gyeong sighed and replied.
– Let me tell you one thing. Hunters specializing in underwater warfare in Korea are at least B-class. Among the C-class hunters, there is no specialist in underwater combat. Not even one.
In other words, the story of the 10 men in front of me is a lie.
The men who listened to Director Won Eun-gyeong’s answer looked at each other.
Let me gawk at them. “Ugh…” He took a step back.
“So, since you’re not an expert in underwater warfare, do you have a good reason for trying to break the ice?”
“Oh no, that…”
“Don’t you? Then, from now on, I will treat you as a villain and respond.”
At my words, Lee Rin and Choi Da-hyun each drew their bowstrings and aimed their swords at the men.
Being a villain doesn’t mean you can legally kill him unconditionally.
Only when there is a clear intention to kill or kill a person can we, too, shoot the villain in self-defense.
The man said “Fuck!!” And grinded it.
And shouted, turning his head toward his fellow men.
“Still, there’s a small chance that the students won’t die!”
The men all nodded.
Before long, 10 people came out from the ice and stood in front of us.
With the weapon that was meant to break the ice pointed towards us.
“You seem to have the whole world just because you’ve become famous lately, but we’ll let you know that monsters and people are different.”
Ten men started attacking us all at once brandishing weapons.
It was the moment when self-defense was established.
