Chapter 114 – Rebecca
Fortunately, as Rebecca boasted, the bombs scattered did not explode.
Rebecca said that the bombs she usually carries have double or triple stabilizers, so they don’t explode under most circumstances.
Of course, that doesn’t mean
“Anyway, it’s like that. What should I do if the bomb is released so carelessly?”
“That’s right. “You were joking too much.”
Her actions were not something to be laughed off.
June and Carol opened their eyes and harshly scolded Rebecca.
“… No shame. “I feel like they are testing my preparedness, so I stop without realizing it.”
Rebecca shrugs her shoulders and lowers her head.
She was so discouraged that even the stiffly erected elf ears lost their strength and fell limp.
It seemed like she was truly reflecting on her actions, and more than anything, I felt so sorry that I couldn’t say anything more.
‘The more I look at her, the more she seems like a soft-spoken older sister.’
He had a cold and haughty face and a personality that did not suit his nickname, the fearsome bombshell.
If I didn’t like that, I didn’t.
Rather, Jun really liked the gap that emerged from the difference.
And it wasn’t just that.
“Youngest child, are you okay? Cheer. Huh?”
“What should I do if I become the youngest and just get scolded so much? Hurry up and straighten your shoulders.”
“… I get it. But why are you calling me the youngest?”
When Fortuna, Jun, and Carol, who were watching her, lost their anger, they immediately flew to Rebecca and comforted her.
Rebecca didn’t seem to like their comfort, but she seemed a little displeased with being called her youngest.
Well, I’m called the youngest by small fairies and spirits, so who likes it?
Young children may like it, but anyone who is old enough will have no choice but to hate it.
‘How will you react if you find out the true identity of Por and Dohwa later?’
Jun smiled and continued walking, imagining the image of Rebecca he would see one day.
After a while, he and her group arrived at the underground training room where they would test Rebecca’s skills and the power of the bomb.
“Party leader, are you sure you’ll be okay? Bombs cannot stop or move backwards like swords or spears. “The self-defense bomb I brought out has less explosive power than the actual bomb, but if it hits you directly, you won’t be able to avoid serious damage.”
Rebecca, who came up to the training ground, said this while looking at Jun, who was standing opposite her.
Even though he had been prepared before coming here and had some faith in him, after hearing her words, Jun honestly couldn’t help but feel scared.
It seemed that the fear of bombs, which came from memories of his past life, was more deeply embedded in his mind than expected.
“Then should we do it with a protective shield? When the shield breaks, the sparring stops.”
“It’s a good idea.”
When Rebecca agreed, Jun called Fortuna, who was waiting outside the training center along with Carol and Dohwa.
“I’m sorry to say this, but wouldn’t it be better to ask a guild employee rather than your fairy?”
“No, the shield that Fortuna casts is much stronger than the shield that the staff casts.”
On one side of the underground training ground, there are always guild employees stationed there who put up a protective shield so that even those who cannot control the bombs at all or are not skilled enough to control them can fight to their heart’s content.
Since their job is their job, they are all experts in shielding, but they are worse than Fortuna.
Of course, she was an angel who could be said to be the master of sacred law. Although her holy method is specialized for buffs, the output itself is different from that of humans.
“… It seems to be true.”
Even though she must have known that what Jun said was not a lie with her ears that can tell between truth and lies, Rebecca looked like she had a hard time believing it.
In response, Jun just shrugged her shoulders and wasn’t particularly offended.
Even she couldn’t believe it.
Most of the beings that became summons were unstable people who could not exist alone.
When an entity becomes unstable, its abilities also become unstable or weakened, so it was difficult to find a case where a summoned beast’s abilities were better than those of a human.
It’s not that they don’t exist at all, but even though such summoned beasts are perfect, they are a type that made a contract with the summoner for growth, so they are very difficult to handle, and all of them have strong pride.
No matter how you looked at Fortuna flying in while eating the popcorn that Carol gave her, it was hard to see her as that kind of person.
Even if I explained to her that she was a great fairy, it was clear that Rebecca would not believe me.
In this case,
‘It’s best to show it in person.’
“Did you call me?”
“Huh. Put a protective shield on me and Rebecca.”
“Grain!”
Various light powders spewed out from Fortuna’s fairy wings and were absorbed by Jun and Rebecca.
On the way, Fortuna took a big bite of the popcorn that she was holding as if she couldn’t stand it anymore. I was worried that this girl would be able to put on her protective shield properly,
“Huh…”
“How is it. Our port is amazing.”
The result was very good.
Her shield, which tightly covers the surface of her body, is thin enough to be discernible only when looking at her auror, but has a high level of defense that cannot be compared to most steel armor.
“The supernatural power of luck is unusual, but it deals with this level of sacred law? What on earth is it? “Are you sure it’s a fairy?”
“Hi-Hi. I’ll teach you that when my youngest gets closer to us. Then both of you fight hard. “I will be cheering you on.”
Who?
Before asking, Fortuna flew to Carol and Dohwa outside the training ground.
Is there something urgent?
“Ah! Dohwa! My sister told me to wait and not eat!”
“S-sorry. The caramel scent is so good that you don’t even notice it. “Yum yum.”
“Ah! “It’s too much!”
“Sleep, Fortuna. There are a lot of them, so calm down. Hehe.”
“Wow!”
“…”
Jun decided not to listen to the faintly heard conversation.
Popcorn is my best friend when watching a fight, but it hurt my pride to lose all attention to it.
“Shall we begin?”
“Good night. “Going first gives in.”
When told that he would give up the lead, Jun stopped picking Firmus and looked at Rebecca.
She had a grave expression on her face, as if she had said something very obvious.
‘Long time no see. Treated like this.’
After the duel with the rat that gave Siliens, no adventurer treated Jun like a subordinate.
The adventurer society was extremely meritocratic. I barely cared whether I was old or young.
However, the age difference was so great that in Rebecca’s eyes, Jun, who had just had his coming-of-age ceremony, still seemed like a lump of blood.
‘How much of a difference is there? Was it 9 times? ‘I didn’t think it was 10 times more.’
When I thought about Rebecca’s age written in her self-introduction, her behavior made sense. On my way…
‘Just up to that point.’
I understand, but my pride is hurt.
Jun decided to punish the dark elf in front of him.
Skill-Activation
Skill – Mind Control
It accelerated my thinking and sharpened my mind.
Magic-Strength
Magic-Haste
Magic-Iron Body
Semi-original – Overdrive
He then made full use of his accelerated thinking and refined mind to strengthen his body in the blink of an eye.
Pajik! Puzzle!
Jun’s eyes turned blue as if struck by lightning, and menacing electricity began to pulse throughout his body.
The moment Rebecca, feeling a sense of crisis, belatedly tried to draw her weapon,
Clap
Something horrifyingly cold touched her neck. Afterward,
“Once.”
A voice was heard that was ecstatic and beautiful, but also extremely dangerous.
“How many more times do you think you’ll die?”
“… Ah.”
Only after hearing her voice once more did Rebecca realize that what had touched her own throat was a sword filled with blood that had not even lived half of her life, and that the number of times her blood had been spit out was the number of times it had killed her.
Rebecca, whose pride was hurt, muttered softly as if making a promise.
“… There will be no more.”
“I hope so.”
A teasing tone.
However, the voice of the blood clot in front of her did not contain a single trace of criticism or ridicule.
All that is there is an extremely restrained fighting spirit. He truly hoped for her struggle.
Rebecca lifted her eyes from the sword at her throat and made eye contact with the pool of blood.
Only then did she realize that she had been caught up in her prejudice.
‘I too wasted my age.’
That’s right, the person in front of her was not a lump of blood that she should look down on, but a beast that she had to fight against with her life.
‘It’s not an ordinary beast either…’
Dragon
The blue eyes, as if filled with lightning, were those of a dragon I had only heard of in stories.
“As a party leader, don’t die easily.”
His heart was pounding violently, and the corners of his mouth went up.
Sigh
“Because I hate things that suddenly explode.”
The dark elf’s hunter instinct whispered to him to quickly hunt that beast.
In his madness as a bomb horse, he shouted at the beast to use the bomb.
Rebecca did not disobey those voices.
Skill – Black Needle
The shadow beneath Rebecca’s feet stirs.
The moment Jun recognized it, needles made of darkness quickly rose up and threatened him.
An attack that fills the entire front.
Jun had no choice but to throw his body back.
Tuk! Tootuk!
The moment his feet, which had been lifted by holding his body back, touched the ground, something rolled under them.
It was a bomb.
Bang!
The bomb exploded, and the explosion swept around.
Before Jun could even move.
