64 – Dungeon Conquest – 4
Alpha, or Lizard Man King. Honestly, I think the former is better than the latter.
what kind of king is that what a king It’s just a lizard that has become a big lizard.
Kaak-!
Still, he is said to be the king, and instead of a crude wooden spear, he holds a sword carved out of stone.
It looks like it would be very painful if cut or stabbed there.
As I step back, a dark stone knife brushes past me.
fast. No matter how alpha it is, this is a bit too fast.
‘Originally, no matter how high you put it, the C-class is the limit.’
As much as the representative of the leading professor, I have definitely studied the dungeon.
Lizard Man can’t get out of the C grade no matter how well he hits.
The same goes for their leader, the dungeon boss Alpha.
At best, he’s just a little bigger, but there’s nothing different about him.
It’s not a B grade, it’s just a C grade.
In other words, all the monsters in this dungeon are gold grade, so you can easily deal with them.
From that Lizard Man from earlier to the Alpha screaming in front of me.
But now, the level of this guy has exceeded the level of that gold grade.
It’s a crude stone knife, but the speed of the guy who wields it is the same as Jung Yoo-hyeon.
No, I will correct it. It is faster than Jung Yoo-hyun. Jeong Yoo-hyeon, you bastard worse than this lizard.
Quak-!
As soon as you dodge the thunderbolt’s blade, your tail flies right away.
can’t avoid this If you try to avoid this for no reason, you can get hit again.
thud-!
A dull shock is transmitted through the whole body. I think I bumped into a car with a little exaggeration.
But, it’s not that I can’t stand it. It’s much better than being hit by the Elder’s spear.
‘still… It’s absolutely not the power that a C-class would produce.’
This dungeon is not a new dungeon that appeared a day or two ago.
Or the monster isn’t the first time it’s been discovered.
It was a dungeon that was there from the beginning, and a monster that I was dealing with from the beginning.
Nothing has changed. If there is, that’s the overall level of these guys.
Thinking so gave me goosebumps involuntarily.
What would happen if only gold grade students came here?
‘What’s going on? It’s breaking news right there. A disaster in the academy student practice course, said.’
thank god. Come along. I’m so glad By accepting Ma Hak-jun’s suggestion.
How fortunate it is to not have to send them helplessly.
Kiruk-!
Alpha looks at me for a second, then turns her head and walks away.
Are the students fighting over there more attractive prey than me alone?
My self-esteem is very hurt. It’s not like this one is incapacitated.
I was looking at the liver to see how strong it had become, and was it careless that it came out?
When I see that scene, I suddenly think of Jung Yoo-hyeon, and my annoyance soars.
“Hey, lizard!”
Then Alpha made a sigh and turned her head.
Can you understand what people are saying? wouldn’t it? did you just see it?
“Where are you going?”
– The third eye is active.
◎ Silver Gatekeeper
: The attribute activation condition has been met.
: The attribute is active.
: Readjust your opponent’s rating.
: Grade Adjustment – Gold ~ Platinum Discrimination
‘If it’s between gold and placard by the academy standards… Even if the measurement comes out as C grade, the level will be B grade.’
If this guy hit the back of the students, it would have been a real big deal.
In the yard already distracted by another battle, a B-level alpha intrudes?
I assure you, it is clear that there will be serious injuries or deaths.
That’s not allowed. yeah, that’s never going to happen A casualty when I lead.
Isn’t it like betraying Ma Hak-joon, who trusted me and entrusted me with the role of professor?
And I hate that too. At least in a situation where I am responsible.
It’s not very nice to see someone die. I hate to see it.
As a bonus, this hurts the pride of the gatekeeper.
where do you go On the topic of not even looking at the layout, where are you going?
‘Fuck, you’re the gatekeeper, let’s start with the placement test.’
◎ The sole review officer
: The attribute is active.
: The opponent who was not promoted by Baek Seo-jin.
: Recognized as subject to review.
Kyaa!
His kireuk, kyaa, kuak. Is there anything else
I threw my fist at the mouth of the running man.
I could feel the soft flesh and hard muscles on my fingertips.
Immediately, red blood and sticky saliva came out.
Kiruk, Kreuk-
Getting hit properly must have been a huge shock.
The alpha guy stumbled and gave a look of bewilderment.
Yeah, it would be weird if you think about it. Because it came in so well.
But to be honest, I’m a bit confused too.
I didn’t know it would go in this strong.
It went in so accurately and I was surprised.
– The gatekeeper’s traits are being expressed to the maximum.
– All abilities have been amplified.
‘It’s the first time I’ve seen a message like this.’
Well, whatever it is, it doesn’t matter right now.
Right now, it is urgent to eliminate Alpha, who will be the biggest threat to students.
It seems that entering the right room aroused his wrath.
The one who let out a scream is more ferocious than before and wields a stone knife and tail.
A cool sensation runs slowly down your spine.
It’s not comparable to Elder, but it’s not something to be ignored either.
You may lose your mind the moment you get hit once.
If that happens, not only my safety, but also the students who are still fighting are at risk.
Dodge, dodge, and finally dig in reverse.
You can’t make big moves, but it’s not impossible to cut.
Cheak-!
A meaningful sword mark was engraved on the guy’s chest.
Right after that, his savage hand came in, but it escaped right back.
As it is large, there are bound to be many blind spots that exist.
You should aim for that part. Thoroughly bite down on weaknesses and stretch.
Of course, he gritted his teeth as if he would not allow any more access.
Chaeyoung-!
I underestimated it because it was a stone knife, but it is surprisingly strong.
I thought it would break if I hit it a few times with a sword, but I guess I’ll have to change my strategy.
‘Swing, swing, tail once, and now.’
I aimed for the timing when the hand of the guy who didn’t hold the stone knife would swing.
perfect counter. A long sword mark is engraved on Alpha’s forearm.
Keuek-!
Suddenly, blood pours from the cracked forearm.
went in properly Yeah, I did get in, but… .
‘Originally, I had to go deeper and higher than this.’
It’s not just strength and speed.
Compared to other lizard men, the toughness of the leather also went up.
My palms were tingling, but I could only cut that much.
He’s not an unbeatable opponent, but he’s a very annoying opponent.
The best thing in the current situation is to hold on until the students arrive.
If you do, you can receive overwhelming fire support from one strong.
‘But, that’s out of shape.’
The name is the representative of the leading professor, but it’s not a bit of a wait for the students.
And the characteristic he has is the gatekeeper. It’s like a monster you haven’t even seen the layout of.
It is disrespectful to my nature to wait for students and pour pincers on them.
What should I do? Let’s think. How to make sure this guy can be retired.
Its strengths are durability, strength, and speed, which are different from ordinary Lizardmen.
Even the slightest bit of carelessness would result in a broken bone, or a stone knife.
Of course, there is a weakness that the blind spot has become bigger as much as it is big.
That guy covers it with his speed. I’ve already tried once there.
He’s not an idiot either, so he’ll always be thinking about that possibility.
‘Strength, speed. strength. Blind spots, weaknesses… . for a moment.’
Suddenly, I had this thought.
Do you really need to focus only on weaknesses?
Conversely, what if you could blow a counter by using his strengths as they are?
Even I knew how to do it.
‘Kang Min-seong.’
The other day, when I went to dinner at the invitation of Kim Soo-hyun.
I unintentionally sparred with Kang Min-seong.
Although he is said to be an A-class person, he is a person with a completely different level from other A-ranks.
Defeat was natural, and I was penalized for using the trait.
Along with a terrifying warning that the attribute itself may disappear altogether when accumulated.
But it wasn’t just damage. Even if it looks like this, the profit and loss calculation is clear.
It is a caution that you should receive as much as you suffered or suffered.
Kiek-!
Alpha swings the stone knife wildly once more.
Still fast, still strong. It’s monster-like destructive power.
A little while ago, he would have grown tired of its power.
But for now, I was rather pleased with his strength.
The posture Kang Min-seong took that day, the way he gripped his sword, and even the breath he exhaled.
Remember, clearly. and draw the same and different.
His figure gradually slows down. And in the midst of it, I could see the path faintly.
The hero of the past, the Sword Demon, with his sword he wanted to show me.
I bring out the mystery accumulated over decades in my own way.
‘little bit more.’
His stone knife flew right in front of me.
My heart beats like crazy, and my head screams to do something quickly.
But I persevered. persevered waited

Just like Kang Min-sung did, he was also facing the best moment.
‘… now.’
Do not apply excessive force. Don’t be in a hurry.
Quietly, gently, he showed, like a gust of wind.
Tuung-
There was a feeling of something heavy at the tip of the sword, but it suddenly became lighter.
And right after that, I saw the body of Alpha, who had been rushing at me, floating in the air.
‘done.’
Laughter burst out. I never thought this would really happen.
But joy or excitement comes later. It’s not over yet.
My battle now, and Kang Min-seong at the time, are left after this.
Another trick Kang Min-sung performed at the last moment.
It was more blurry than the one just before, but I thought it was worth a try.
The lacking part, I just need to fill it with another memory I have.
Elder’s, Lee Hyun-woo’s, and Kim Soo-hyun’s.
I fill the empty space with things that are theirs and mine at the same time.
“Suck!”
As his body moved, he swung as hard as the sword flowed.
Every muscle in my body hurt as if it was being torn apart, but I clenched my teeth and endured.
Tuung-
I heard something fall to the floor.
Alpha’s head, which was flicking its tongue a moment ago.
Then, his large body tumbles backwards.
thud-!
“… crazy.”
Did this old man really, write this horrible thing to me?
