38 – Underground (7)
There aren’t that many times I’ve activated my abilities so far, but if there’s one thing I’ve felt consistently in those few short moments.
That’s the part where this ability called ‘Thunder’ seems to give me more power than I thought.
Should I say it’s a sensation that’s suddenly approaching, I’m not sure how to describe it…….
‘At first, I thought it was a one-dimensional ability that was simply strong in its output.’
After all, I tore Tsumei’s severance space casually. I thought it was strange to think that the power would be weak, and that it was excessive greed if I wanted something other than power.
But I must say that I felt something after using my strength a few more times.
It wasn’t just a singular ability, that is to say, it was an ability that only fired a few thunderbolts. Of course, it seems like I can get rid of most monsters just by shooting that thunderbolt.
Anyway, when I first fell into this world, the status window called this ability ‘Thunderbolt’, and then added a few lines of concise explanation.
────────────────
-Every thunderbolt under the sky belongs to you.
-You will be able to deal with lightning strikes.
– Brain energy used by others cannot have any effect on your body.
────────────────
It was probably like this.
Actually, there weren’t that many things that could be grasped with just those few sentences. Do you feel like you just want to know that I’ve become a human P.X. Chu?
That’s worth it, too. What should I say about those three lines of explanation?
The range of interpretation is wide if you put it well, and it’s too abstract if you put it badly.
To put it really simply, it means that the word ‘what the heck is that’ was a description of the ability that came out of nowhere. I didn’t feel like I was a little bit sick.
‘All the thunderbolts under the sky’…….
Anyway, the only thing I could figure out from that sentence is that whether it’s electricity, lightning, or thunderbolt, I can roughly handle the same attribute or type (?) Related ability.
When I thought about it a little more, I wondered if I had acquired something similar to absolute immunity limited to the brain attribute.
Of course, those two elements weren’t bad either. No, on the contrary, since I got an amazing ability for one deal, it wouldn’t be strange if I was satisfied with this.
But after using and using that ability, there is one thing I can gradually figure out.
Wow!
That’s really more than I thought, the fact that one sentence ‘can handle thunderbolt’ included and hid a lot of facts.
“Wow, look at the power. If you really touch one, you’ll die.”
With an effortless laugh, I glanced at the golem that was swinging a straight fist at me.
[…] ….]
Certainly he has no ego, so his expression doesn’t change.
However, when it comes to cognitive ability, it was quite creepy to see him looking back at me right away to see if there were any abnormalities.
Kwajik!
With a bloody sound, the golem moved again as I pulled out my fist stuck in the ground instead of me.
Hook!
“…… !”
A golem that rushes at such a speed that it is hard to track it with the naked eye. To be precise, that golem’s fist.
“Wow, Mr.”
I let go of my laughter and quickly lowered my body.
Kwagwagwagwa-!
I wasn’t even hit properly, but a terrifying sound came out. No, is it more because the target is not right?
I didn’t know either way. Whether the air bursts or not, how could I be thinking such a carefree thought in a situation where my head was about to burst before then?
Poof!
Then, the golem turned once again. It is the fist that is aiming at me and flying again.
I didn’t dodge this time either.
Is it because of the unfounded confidence that I seem to have adapted more than the first time? After slightly raising my hand, I immediately raised it as if bursting with the power of lightning.
Quaaang!
Another loud explosion sounds.
At this point, I was seriously worried that my eardrum might have been torn.
I think it’s a really creepy golem.
What kind of destructive power comes out of that dainty fist and what the f*ck is that?
“…… However, seeing that he is blocking it head-on, this ability is not necessarily weak.”
I gave a little more strength to the crossed arms with a smile.
Kang! With an incongruous metallic sound, the golem’s fist that was pressing down on my arm was slightly pushed back.
…… If you think about it differently, yes.
Although I somehow manage to stop the monstrous golem’s movements from simply being ‘hard to follow with my eyes’, my current state is probably not normal either.
If it was really only a level where lightning could crackle a little, I should have been hit by that fist and knocked out without even having time to fire the thunderbolt in the first place.
However, the fact that it is not the case is that at the moment when I activated my special ability, my physical ability was also raised to an above-average level.
As it is the first class ability, and the only new job I have never played, there may be many elements hidden in ‘Thunderbolt’ beyond what I understand now.
That was about it.
Hwaaak!
“──Kuh!”
A short quiet sound came out, but in fact, it wouldn’t be too strange to say that it was a scream of death. Should I say that it has come?
The whole body is hot.
In other words, it burns.
It was a burning pain.
It wasn’t strange to think that 10 seconds had passed even in the short engagement right before.
On the contrary, it seems a bit late.
“…… No, sh*t, really. Turn it off.”
But putting all that aside, the crazily painful thing didn’t change, so I quickly opened the status window.
There was no time to relax.
It takes 1 second to open the blue window with your fingertips.
From noble mtl dot com
It takes about 2 seconds to move to the desired space and point to the item you are looking for.
-Territory lightning temporary relief potion 1 bottle.
The moment I made up my mind to use it right now, the status window lit up as if in response to my will.
Shiny!
Sound effects As I was thinking about how cute it was once, a bead came down from the air. It’s not particularly pretty, and it doesn’t feel like a craft, but it’s a bead that has a strange feel to it.
‘No, it’s a potion?’
I was a little taken aback by the shape, but I instinctively knew how to use it, so I applied some force to the hand holding the marble and broke the small sphere.
Half-mate!!
After a slightly fresher sound effect than before, the fragments of the split beads were absorbed into my body and disappeared.
“…… Whoa.”
It was right after that that the burning pain disappeared like a lie, and I thought that my body was completely healed.
The effect was obvious as it was a reward obtained through the academy entrance success quest.
When I glanced at the status window, there was a new small window popping up.
────────────────
Effect duration (4:59).
────────────────
“I like that it is simple and clear.”
I grinned. I left it because I thought I might have something to use it someday, but from my point of view, now is the best time to use it.
As long as I get the magic sword and things go the way I want, I’ll be able to solve the immediate penalty problem to some extent.
For now, all you have to do is break through that golem and get inside.
Pajik, Pajik…….
I haven’t been able to try it properly because of that bastard, but it’s different now.
Until now, the limit was about 10 seconds at best.
That has increased to 5 minutes per year at this moment.
This means that the necessary training time to get used to the ability is no different from the given one.
“Although the training is a bit overly realistic.”
Quang!
Still, the golem that had been kindly waiting for the transformation (?) Time flew at me once again.
“Because the opponent is the opponent. I can’t help it.”
I gave a brief glance at the only party who had been quietly separated until now, and then, for the first time, uncontrollably fired a thunderbolt.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwang!!!
If it’s narrow, it’s narrow and if it’s dark, it’s a dark passage. The area of the golem instantly became as bright as broad daylight.
By none other than the lightning I created.
*****
– You understand? If I’m wasting my time against the golem, you’ll have to clear the way. Lychee.
‘…… He speaks very easily.’
Kwakwang! Kwagwagwang!
While the thunderbolts were bouncing like crazy, and the top, bottom, left, and right walls of the room were smashed terribly by the fists of blind golems.
Beatrice was moving very carefully, extremely carefully. Like a skilled thief entering a heavily guarded vault.
It is a record of stealing, which was almost the only one since she was born, and that was the only time she robbed a professor’s lab a few days ago, but Beatrice escaped the golem’s eyes and senses with her innate talent for stealth (not).
A trickle of cold sweat trickled down her cheek.
Then she remembered the briefing of her accomplice, that is, Dante, that she had heard during lunch two days earlier.
-It won’t last long to go undetected anyway. That golem, even though it’s not even alive, the sixth sense is no joke.
He said. No matter how cautiously she moves, the golem will notice something unusual at any time. It’s a fighting machine that was originally designed that way.
Beatrice was puzzled. No matter how much the gold dragon made it, how can a golem that is said to have almost no strengths besides being strong be so outstanding?
Still, as she is a saint, her fighting ability is not low.
However, it was clear that Dante would know better at least about that ‘golem’ entity, so I decided to convince myself and move on.
This is why I thought it would be right to follow his instructions as long as we eventually agreed to move together, even if something was unclear.
And that judgment, now that I think about it, I think it was really good.
Koo-goo-gu-gung!
‘Wow… ….’
Just in time, along with the shock, the vibration that resonated throughout the space was transmitted to Beatrice as well.
With a short internal salivation, she shifted her gaze slightly to the side to look at her golem.
The golem, which had the most beautiful appearance in the world, had an extremely cold expression, and did not hesitate even for a moment, swinging its fists and feet to make a mess, couldn’t be a mere stone doll ‘something like that’ even to Beatrice.
Aside from its appearance, which is difficult to distinguish from humans, what the hell is that crazy fighting ability?
Did the gold dragon embed my heart into the golem? No, I don’t feel that level of mana.
But if that wasn’t the case, I didn’t have the confidence to understand the source of that destructive power.
Beatrice bit her lip with her slightly weary complexion as she continued her steps.
-Don’t touch me at all. If you don’t want to become a lump.
At first I didn’t understand the expression, but now I see it was a reasonable warning.
‘How can I defeat such a decisive weapon head-on?’
That was no different from talking about subduing a gold dragon in a one-on-one battle.
Beatrice felt that the golem’s fighting ability was at least on the level of a sword master or archmage.
If you can beat that at the student level, it’s probably a few exceptional seniors who are prospective graduates.
‘…… Hey, I don’t think it’s worth sticking around until I’m around 19, which doesn’t look like 19 at all.’
Beatrice looked at the fighting situation again with a slight frown.
Boom! Quaang! Quad deuk…… !
A very bloody sound echoed continuously, and the golem continued to move its entire body, which was no different from a weapon of destruction.
Strictly speaking, the golem’s attempt to attack ended up being an attempt. All of them, all together.
Beatrice forgot her role for an instant and stared at the silver-haired boy.
He looked at Dante, who deflected the golem’s attack, dodged it, and surprisingly even counterattacked.
The expression is crumpled, and the complexion is also not good.
I also feel that the response is somehow inconsistent.
Thinking back, he was like that from the beginning.
How should I say, it seems strangely unfamiliar with ‘combat’?
It doesn’t make much sense when you think of that grotesque ability, but just looking at it made me feel that way. He can’t help it even if the front and back don’t match.
Judging by Beatrice, Dante wasn’t good at fighting.
However, at this point, that may not be a very important issue.
It’s definitely a questionable part. But what made it even more incomprehensible was the situation in which Dante, who had such poor skills, was on par with that golem.
“…… What the hell.”
He knows it’s time to hold his breath, but Beatrice can’t help but mutter.
‘How am I supposed to accept this?’
I know better than anyone the fear of lightning. It’s not that it’s not, it’s because I almost got hit for real.
But Beatrice also knew that there was a huge flaw in that power, that ability.
Definitely, Dante must lose consciousness before he can’t stand the intense pain before tens of seconds of using his ability? Not cursing or anything like that, really.
Haven’t you personally confirmed that if you don’t collapse, you’ll end up in a strange physical state?
But this situation, where Dante is supposed to be fighting for more than a few minutes…….
“…… Under. Are you lying again? What else are you hiding?”
Beatrice gritted her teeth and glared at Dante with a very reprehensible gaze. Of course, Dante was busy fighting and didn’t notice.
Beatrice glared at Dante like that for a very brief moment, and then turned around again.
…… Anyway, the situation was not suitable for grabbing him by the collar right away and continuing the investigation once more. Whether you kick the wall again or kick Dante yourself, shouldn’t you do it after you get out of this basement?
At least, after the golem’s menace was completely freed.
“I just don’t get over it, really.”
Until now, I’ve been moderately overlooked, but now I really need to hear the truth.
What if you still don’t tell the truth?
‘At that time, I will die, just.’
It was a short time, but as a result of watching and acting together, I saw a reason and appearance to tolerate the questionable words and actions to some extent, so I put up with it.
It’s not like there isn’t a way. Whether using force directly or summoning the Holy Knights of the Church—.
He hesitated.
It was then.
“…… What.”
Seeing the sudden lifeless gaze, Beatrice reflexively stopped his steps and turned his head away.
He had a hunch that if he moved a little more, he would see something bad.
[…] ….]
And that premonition was certainly not wrong. The golem’s blue eyes were staring at Beatrice.
Creepy!
The feeling of being chilled down the spine.
‘Since when?’
Beatrice froze for a moment.
-Even if you move silently at first, the moment you get caught will come anyway. So, if the golem wants to catch her eye…….
That didn’t last too long either.
“Whoa.”
After recalling Dante’s briefing in an instant, she let out a short breath.
Ugh!
Beatrice immediately formed his divine power with his eyes narrowed.
Taat!
It was at that moment that the Golem changed her goal and rushed towards Beatrice.
For no other reason, it was because she was aiming for her ‘entrance’.
I’m not talking about the entrance through which Dante and Beatrice entered.
It was the ‘entrance’ on the other side, that is to say, in the direction the golem was guarding.
Sure.
The final road to the place where the magic sword was sealed.
Quarrr!
[…] … !]
“Where.”
Dante’s thunderbolt blocked the shooting golem, and the divine power gathered in a short moment took shape right after that.
Go oh oh-
You can call it a huge stake or a spear.
As if to prove that it was filled with divine power, the golden long spear was shot toward the entrance the moment the golem was about to move again.
It doesn’t suit its size.
It was as fast as an arrow flying.
Quaaa!!!
Kashimo?!??
