Episode 89. Allrounder (6)
Woo-wook.
Time, which had completely stopped, gradually returns. Magical flames spewed from the muzzle and the magic bullets fired went straight toward Smile Dilo.
‘That’s right.’
I was sure
The speed of the flying magic bullet. A weak point where the position changes moment by moment as I roll over and over. I didn’t really calculate the timing of this launch myself.
When the delusion practice is activated, the index finger moves instinctively.
‘instead.’
The delusion practice uses the function of my brain on its own to calculate the firing timing. In exchange for this, I had to feel a severe headache regardless of my remaining mental strength.
Kwajik!
“uh?”
“oh… .”
If it was broken, it wouldn’t matter.
Active hunters also struggled to catch Smile Deal with only their skills.
“How did you get that right?”
Senior Sosim turned to me with an excited voice.
I answered while hiding my index finger that pulled the trigger, the finger that had become darkened by the recoil of Delusion Practice.
“How do you guess? I got it right with my skills.”
“oh my god… . Junior. Didn’t you just say something sloppy?”
“A while ago, when I placed an order, it seemed that he hesitated several times in disbelief. Can you believe me now?”
“Ugh. mi… sorry. I won’t doubt you next time.”
A moment’s hesitation can lead to formation collapse. Even though I knew it was nagging, I emphasized that point to senior Sosim, and senior Sosim lowered his head with an expression like someone who put sour candy in his mouth.
“Hey, Kim Do-yoon.”
The taciturn senior also approached me.
“yes. Please speak.”
“He knew very well about that Monstrum earlier. It was the first thing I saw. Did you work as a hunter before entering school?”
“no. Ordinary advice… … .”
While talking, I remembered the fact that there was a senior Sosim. That senpai seemed to know something about my fabricated past.
“I like monster room documentaries. I found out because I watched it often.”
“I see. Anyway, your marksmanship is amazing. I saw it too. Did you shoot it through the gap in the spinning upper?”
“I must have stepped forward to become a leader in front of my seniors. There was a reason for my confidence.”
“Awesome.”
It would be surprising here.
‘It’s a bit unfortunate that the index finger of my right hand has gone bad, but I can pull the trigger with my other finger.’
It’s not a bullet fired with gunpowder, so you don’t have to worry about recoil. It was just annoying that his blackened index finger started to tingle.
“Then shall we continue?”
Smiledilo was just a gatekeeper guarding the midpoint of the dungeon. It was a situation where we had to go halfway forward to reach the goal.
“me too… . I won’t be alone I will show you my dignity as a senior, so watch closely.”
“You can’t just go on the back of a junior.”
The two seniors also showed their enthusiasm, as if my performance had caught fire.
We kept moving forward.
“bout!”
Senior Sosim gave a shout.
Chew!
A Monstrum that was running at me was hit with a whip and rolled to the side. Then, it soon turned into particles of light and disappeared.
‘Even considering the opponent’s small size, it’s quite powerful, right?’
When I fire again and again from a distance, the clever monsters instinctively sense that I am their priority target.
This model dungeon was a place that reproduced the habits of Monstrum very well. That way, whenever they put me first and ran, the seniors did a great job as tanks.
coo wow!
Kururuk!
The hordes of monsters gathered in front all cried out in unison.
premonition phenomenon. One of the other habits of the guys called ‘Monstrum Wave’. When they felt they were being pushed back in a fight, they had a habit of rushing at them simultaneously without looking back.
“Everyone back up!”
“huh.”
“okay… !”
While the reticent senior fell back, the quick-footed timid senior looked around and escorted him according to the reticent senior’s stride.
‘okay. He’s one year older than me, so I have to get the basics right.’
The timid senior, who was flustered and even twisted his movements, was nowhere to be found. Until now, it seemed that he was not able to properly show his true self because he was weighed down by the spirit of his senior leader.
“I’ll block you here. My juniors are watching.”
The taciturn senior stood in front of me as if with his back to me and said.
“Don’t you need support fire?”
“Ah, you showed a good side of yourself. Give me a chance to show off my abilities.”
“If that’s what you mean, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
I watched to see what he was going to do, and soon a big change appeared in the taciturn senior’s shield. I wondered if there was something like a blender blade in the center of the shield, and a thorn of light was also created at the end of the shield.
Right after that, the taciturn senior took one foot forward, bent his knee slightly, and leaned his upper body forward as if preparing for the shock of the upcoming volume.
Wheein!
Kieee
Monstrum, which had been headbutting us, was crushed by the spiked blade of the shield.
The same was true when they tried to come back up and down the side and top of the shield. The tip of the blade of the thorn grew longer and was cut so that no one could come over. It was as if the blade had a will in it.
“The shield also had that function. It would be better if you use that function as an attack rather than a defense.”
The taciturn senior spoke in a more subdued voice than usual.
“How nice it would be.”
“Are there any restrictions?”
“I can’t move when I use this power.”
surely. When I asked why he lowered his voice, it was a fact he didn’t want the examiner to hear.
‘Even considering that, it’s a great defensive technique.’
The moment the Monstrums, who had been ramming into it roughly, saw their comrades being pulverized helplessly, they felt that something was wrong.
Kiek! Kieeck!
This time, flying monsters appeared. They didn’t run straight at us and seemed to circle around us. The purpose was to distract attention.
Reticent senior kept an eye on the monster room on the ground, while timid senior watched the flying monster room with his back to me in my blind spot.
“Monstrum flying over there. It’s a Painless Hornet, right?”
“Ugh. Why is it him… .”
The Painless Hornet was so notorious that even the seniors seemed to know what it was.
I checked my remaining mental strength.
Not only did I raise the performance of Mental Acceleration to the limit, but I also used Delusion Practice at the same time, so it wasn’t very relaxing.
The more you use multiple types of nature at the same time, the greater the consumption of mana. Since there are situations where you need to use a lot of mental power in the next section, I wanted to reduce the consumption of mental power as much as possible here.
“Timid old man. The reticent senior did something for you, so now it’s your turn.”
“huh? Nana?”
“Don’t you have any special moves like the taciturn senior? It’s like a skill that appeals to the examiner.”
“… ah! that’s right. there is! Um, but I don’t know if this ability will be useful now.”
There are three major requirements for a tank position. It is divided into defense, containment, and induction. Mentioning this, I asked senior Sosim.
“Which of the three is it?”
“It’s the containment type.”
“great. So, can you stop the Painless Hornet from approaching with that power? You have to stimulate it so it doesn’t explode. Silent senior, please keep the Monstrum in front of you in check.”
“If that’s the case, no problem. Rather, it is the technology most suited to that need. however… . What are you going to do in the meantime?”
“What are you doing? We have to get rid of that most annoying Painless Hornet first.”
I stowed the Astrolabos and pulled out my dagger.
“you. Aren’t you a shooter?”
Come to think of it.
I’ve never seen you use a blade in this model dungeon. There was nothing to use because the tankers were holding the battle line firmly.
“I know how to use a dagger.”
“Okay, what does that mean? You were the one who asked me to keep the Painless Hornet in check so it wouldn’t explode.”
“You just need to cut off the neck cleanly.”
“What nonsense is that… . ”
“I know when you see it.”
Wheein!
At that moment, a Painless Hornet, which continued to fly in a circle, flew towards us as if watching a liver.
Senior Sosim brandished a whip.
“Eight!”
Then I was able to witness a strange sight.
The moment I thought the whip had pierced the body of the Painless Hornet. Suddenly, his body escaped from the pierced whip, and he was pushed back. It was as if someone had pulled the boy’s hair.
“I just couldn’t believe… .”
“You are right.”
“Perhaps when I put my hand into the body of a senior who became invincible. Is that the principle behind the hand being pushed outward when the invincibility state is released?”
“huh. You’re also quick-witted.”
It was an ability that applied not only to one’s body, but also to objects held in one’s hands. It seemed that even the exercise power that had previously been applied was ignored and applied.
“What if I do it on an object so big that it can’t be pushed back?”
“Of course I tried. How long have I been researching this ability? There is no penetration at all.”
I was about to come up with an attack method that applied it, but it was regrettable.
Sorry, but it didn’t matter.
Weeing!
Wheein!
This time, three Painless Hornets charged at the same time.
“This time, please keep two of them in check and intentionally let go of one. I will handle it.”
Senior Sosim had a somewhat worried expression, but replied that he would know soon.
Ugh!
From nob le mt l. com
Just as I had requested, a Painless Hornet broke free from Senior Sosim’s restraint and flew towards us with a risk of explosion.
[‘Delusion Practice’ is activated.]
Awesome!
The Painless Hornet turns into particles of light neatly without exploding. Since it was a skill I had already tried, the consumption of mental energy was reduced compared to the first attempt.
“oh… .”
“wow. Did you really just cut your throat?”
“Seniors. It’s not over yet! Don’t look away… … !”
Chow!
at that time. Bodily fluids were fired from one of the monsters on the ground. I observed the monster that was spitting out bodily fluids.
‘It’s that guy!’
It was the very acidic substance that the leader sunbaenim suffered badly for due to the liquid trap gimmick.
At my urgent cry, the taciturn senior turned his head belatedly with a sorry expression. It looked like he was belatedly trying to re-energize the shield to activate the shredder mode.
‘It’s already late.’
With one hand, I pushed Senior Sosim, who was standing behind me, out of the range of the liquid pouring out.
“Wow?!”
next.
I pulled the taciturn senior’s shoulder and stepped forward. It was an act of trying to wrap it up in order to cover it with liquid instead.
“you… .”
At best, I raised it to the battle position. Maybe it was because he tried to control his strength to save his mental strength, but his top melted completely.
Fortunately, thanks to the parabolic launch, the bottom was relatively intact.
“This is a senior who needs a lot of hands. Don’t you remember when the leader sunbaenim also lost his eyes and was doused with acid?”
“sorry… . But are you okay?”
At least it was a fake monster room made with the power of an artifact. The ability that was implemented is only equipment corrosion and pain. It was something to be thankful for in that there was no melting of the skin.
“are you okay. And let’s assume that the mistake you just made has been made up for in the way you are now.”
“Make up?”
“Thanks to that, it was eye candy.”
Since it was a liquid, I couldn’t cover it all. Some of the liquid that bounced off my body splashed on the taciturn senior’s body, and as a result, there were holes in the uniform top.
“… … !”
The taciturn senior who figured out the situation belatedly blushed.
“senior. You know that it is an act without conscience if you sell it, asking where you are looking in the current situation, right?”
“Who said what… … .”
I smiled and turned my gaze toward the Painless Hornet.
“Timid old man. Let’s keep doing what we’re doing. Please keep them in check, but let them go one by one on purpose.”
“… Ugh, ugh!”
After being pushed away by me for a while, Senior Sosim, who came back, turned his back in amazement.
“But why are you upset, senior?”
“Oh, no. that is. therefore… . Contrary to his slender appearance, I thought he had a good body… … .”
While answering that, he looked like he was trying to look this way.
‘Why are you doing that all of a sudden… ah. That’s it.’
It seems that the effect of the Pondris pheromone has begun to turn in earnest. As a tanker, there were many situations where he needed to be near me, so it was understandable.
“I’ll show you as much as I can once I get past this section, so focus first.”
“Dah, I don’t really want to see you! I really… . It’s true… … .”
Senior Sosim said that, but he did his duty faithfully. I slashed the throats of all the Painless Hornets that were charging at me individually.
Among them, the monsters on the ground also attacked once again. The taciturn senior was also conscious of his mistake, but he raised his mana even more and replaced the Monstrum that had been running into it.
Whiririk!
Since all the Painless Hornets had been dealt with, there was no reason to hesitate. Taking out the Astrolabos again, I shot and killed all the other flying monsters as well.
“ha. Whoa… .”
“Ugh… .”
It was seen that the seniors were having a hard time.
The flight type that was the most annoying was all defeated like that. The remaining monsters on the ground were still quite numerous.
‘As expected, missing one dealer is a big feeling.’
If I can’t get rid of it quickly, the tanker will have to block it for a long time. Longer time meant that the tank had no choice but to use a lot of stamina.
In contrast, what about me?
‘Stamina itself is a relaxed situation.’
while standing still. I didn’t do any particularly strenuous exercise other than decapitating the approaching Painless Hornet.
[Group A. Currently, you guys are the only ones who haven’t passed the dungeon.]
At that time, the instructor’s voice flowed from the announcement.
While we were doing this, announcements about other groups passing through the dungeon continued to be heard from time to time.
[I will give you a time limit from now on. If you do not reach the goal point within the time limit, the model dungeon test will be treated as a failure and the evaluation score will be reduced accordingly. more.]
Eventually, there was even a time limit.
In times like this, you shouldn’t be in a hurry.
“Seniors, you should get some rest. If you use up all your stamina here, we will unconditionally retire in the next section.”
“Well, then the rest of the Monstrum… ? Those guys won’t stand still. Or are you going to retreat?”
Senior Sosim asked.
“Do you retreat because you are crazy? If you do, this section will be reset again and you will have to catch it again from the beginning.”
“what? Is there such a thing?”
Last year, they said the test was easier than this, so they probably didn’t have to go through the reset restrictions.
“I am… . I can do more… … .”
It was the voice of a silent senior.
“I know you can. It’s just that if I use all my strength here, I won’t be able to perform in my condition in the next section. That’s the problem.”
“So you’re saying you’re going to deal with it alone?”
“Aside from mana, it’s a relaxed situation as far as stamina is concerned.”
I waved the dagger around and said.
“I have no face. It feels like we keep holding on to your ankles.”
“eww… . Maybe it’s because I’m too ambitious… … . I usually don’t get tired this quickly… .”
The seniors seemed depressed.
It was difficult. Even if the atmosphere of admiration for each other is not enough, such a gloomy atmosphere. In this way, regardless of physical strength or not, the action was greatly atrophied, so I could not show my skills.
“Things got interesting. Why do people who didn’t like to look at me or even talk to me at the beginning suddenly feel sorry for me? Didn’t it matter if I was having a hard time or not?”
“that is… .”
“Grunt… .”
The seniors avoided my gaze and put on embarrassed faces.
‘Thank you for seeing me again, but this is difficult.’
If it was going to be like this, it would have been better for me to be wary of myself and to stand tall.
“Seniors. It’s difficult at this rate, so I’ll give you first aid and go.”
“First aid?”
“From now on, I will hypnotize you to make you feel comfortable. When you’re resting, you need to be sure to rest in peace because it’s effective. So don’t resist.”
As I said that, I showed my nature towards my seniors.
[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]
[Activates ‘Emotion Implant’.]
The two seniors quietly followed my words.
“Oh wow… . Have you suddenly calmed down?”
“It is a strange feeling. The anxious feeling is gone.”
good. Now I just have to do well.
I fixed my dagger and looked at the remaining group of monsters.
gigg. interest.
His hearing, which has become sensitive due to repeated battles, is the sound of the camera running even without sense control. It even caught the sound of focus moving.
‘Passers were able to watch the contestants still in progress from the goal line.’
Everyone over there is watching. The examiner, my rivals, my current colleagues, and even the people I plan to recruit as colleagues in the distant future.
The monster rooms in front of me were those whose patterns weren’t too difficult.
So this time.
‘Nature does not write.’
Let’s save our mental strength to the limit for once.
