“now… I think even a sword master can do it.”
Leo looked at the frozen Hakdoom and turned his head.
The Orc Hero and nearly a hundred orcs under him were frozen solid.
An orc hero who is a sword master in terms of skill alone.
In addition, the Orcs, who moved according to their ferocious nature, even supported them.
It is the characteristic of the ferocious Orcs to snort and ignore moderate damage.
Therefore, from the wizard’s point of view, it was the worst opponent in terms of characteristics.
In particular, a narrow place like this is not good geographically, but Leo overcame all of that and won.
That’s not too difficult either.
‘Something… I’ve changed.’
Less than a year had passed since Leo reached the level of the 5th class.
However, in the meantime, I’ve been through a lot.
He met the Fairy Queen, captured the Warlock of the West, fought a giant, and fought against the Catsane Guild in the Empire.
Perhaps because of the experiences that others wouldn’t easily have, Leo thought he was becoming stronger faster than expected.
‘I feel like I can see a wall in the distance because I haven’t fully matured yet at the 5th class.’
As time passed, his growth became steeper and his genius shone.
It’s normal for even a genius to get stuck when he reaches a certain level, but Leo didn’t have that.
Rather, it felt like the more I went, the more hidden talents were revealed.
‘Well, this is a good thing.’
Now, there are 8 years left until the age of 20.
Within that, I have to somehow rise to the ninth rank.
Even when I was playing the game, there was no wizard who had risen to the ninth rank in this Lost World.
The archmage called the best in history was 8th class, and the swordsman called the best was also at the grand master level.
Leo had to aim beyond that.
An unexplored state that no one has ever been to.
sometimes i can There are times when I have weak thoughts that I want to, but I have been strong every time.
If you don’t believe in yourself, only death awaits you.
let’s believe I can do it.
With that thought, Leo walked forward.
– Jerk-jerk-jerk.

There were various races in the Abyss, but there were a total of 7 races that became the main axis.
The leader of each race is called a Grand Duke, and each of the 7 Grand Dukes has a different personality and taste.
Some wanted war, some wanted to stick with the status quo, and some liked to set up a world of darkness behind them.
Among them, Barmoor, the current Lycanthrope warchief, was a representative peace faction.
A strange species that has emerged from among the warlike lycanthropes.
Then he summoned the main cadres of the lycanthrope race.
“The warchief is calling us. What are you doing?”
“They told us not to hold small gatherings because they were worried that if we got together, we would go to war again.”
The officers tilted their heads.
I wondered what the reason was, and I shared my opinions, but I couldn’t think of anything like this.
And after a while, the tent they were in was lifted and a man walked by.
It was a man with grayish mane-like hair that hung down to the top of his wingbones.
Although he had a handsome face, he had a cold impression, and the cross-shaped scar on his cheek was impressive.
“Welcome, Warchief.”
“Are you here?”
The lycanthrope executives stood up from their seats and slightly bowed their heads.
The lycanthrope was the best in terms of aggression among the alien races.
The reason why they were so polite was that the current warchief, Barmoore, was so great.
His past, starting from the lowest warrior of the clan and rising to the position of warchief, was greatly supported by the warriors within the clan.
“Is everyone here?”
“Yes!”
“Then sit down.”
Barmoor flicked his hand and the officers took their seats.
Sitting in the seat of honor, he opened his mouth.
“Let’s talk about the main topic. I think I will have to leave the clan for a while this time.”
The officers widened their eyes.
After looking at each other for a moment, one of them asked cautiously.
“Where are you going? Do you have any appointments with other grand dukes?”
“no. This time we go to the human empire.”
“… … !”
“… … !”
It was a shocking story.
The peace-loving Barmoor always stayed where he was to prevent other grand dukes from escaping.
To think he would leave the Abyss and go to humans!
The lycanthropes clenched their fists, wondering if the warchief had changed his mind.
“… Is it pre-reconnaissance for war? Then this radical will go! Leave it to me!”
The lycanthrope executive Radical stood up excitedly.
My body was changing as if my emotions were boiling violently.
Unlike the werewolf, which is a simple monster, the lycanthrope could change between human form and combat beast form at will.
“Kreureung!”
He grew taller, his torso thicker, and his mane sprouted from his whole body.
His eyes, which had transformed into the shape of a wolf before he knew it, were shining with ferocity.
Barmoor looked at him and gestured lightly.
“It’s not like that, so calm down.”
With just that hand gesture, momentum rose, and gravity seemed to intensify.
Radical’s legs staggered and he fell to his knees with a thud.
Did he come back to his senses? He returned to his human form with a groan.
“I’m sorry Warchief!”
“Okay. You’re not like this once or twice. As I always say, didn’t you tell me to reduce that explosive personality?”
“lol… Because I am excited about the assignment.”
“Even if I were really going on a reconnaissance mission to start a war, I don’t think I would entrust it to you.”
Barmoor shook his head.
“You guys are probably guessing too. Even though I always shut myself up in my clan shouting for peace, there is something I always care about.”
“Yes. Wasn’t that what you were looking for?”
Barmoor had a special artifact called the Search Mirror.
It’s not always possible to find what you want, and there were a number of tricky conditions.
He set it so that he would know when the dragon eggs returned to the nest.
But that’s broken.
“right. I ran into a problem a while ago. And that’s probably with a high probability, the human race has the answer.”
I made a request to the guys called Casein Guild.
Tell them what the dragon’s egg looks like, and tell them to bring it by any means.
All they wanted was to somehow become stronger, and Barmoor was able to make it happen by using the power of the clan.
‘However, the fact that there was a problem with the dragon’s egg without reporting to me… .’
You mean they bounced around with it?
Or is there someone who knows about eggs?
I had a lot of thoughts, but there was nothing I could know from this place.
Because of this, Barmoor was thinking of making the move himself.
“I, Warchief.”
“Why?”
“lol. I want to see the world too. Can you take me with you?”
The now completely true radical scratched his head and said.
It was a famous story that Radical wanted to go outside the Abyss from long ago.
However, even though he is an executive, he is a radical with weak emotional control, so it was difficult to let him go unless it was a war.
Know where to get into trouble!
However, it is a different story if Barmoor is together.
You will have complete control, so there will be no problems at all.
“Warchief… please. I want to see the real world.”
Seeing Radical staring at him pitifully, Barmoor sighed once and nodded.
“yes. OK.”
“hahahaha! Then we’ll be ready to leave! You said you were going to the capital of the empire, right?”
Radical smiled and moved to pack.
Barmoore looked at that and touched his forehead for a moment.
Is this really a good thing?

After defeating Hakdoom and the orcs, Leo slowly began exploring the dragon’s cave.
It was quiet inside the cave, where no sound of breathing could be heard.
‘Also. Not much different from what I know.’
Dragon Cave.
Contrary to its grandiose name, the inside was really ordinary.
It is nothing different from a normal cave.
But there is one peculiar thing.
At the end of this cave, there is a space with a strange magic circle drawn on it.
Leo guessed that if something was hidden, it might be there.
In fact, even when playing the game on Earth, I tried to get the hidden piece using all kinds of methods.
‘It was all bad.’
But it seems different this time.
This egg, still vibrating inside the subspace pouch, was the proof.
– Jerk-jerk-jerk.
Leo walked slowly into the cave.
I didn’t know what would happen, so it was essential to preserve my stamina.
That is why I had to walk slowly and stabilize my breathing, like an old man taking a walk.
‘It’s filthy slow.’
Of course, I felt like I was about to explode, but since this was not someone else’s body, but my own, what could I do?
In my heart, I shouted patience dozens of times and moved on.
And as a result, we arrived at our desired destination.
A space with strange lines drawn like magic circles on the floor, just as it was in the memory of the past.
Unlike in the game, I have a lot of magical knowledge, but even now, I don’t know what this is.
Especially if Leo, who has special eyes and talents, doesn’t know… .
‘Isn’t this really just graffiti?’
With that thought in mind, I moved a little closer.
I took out the egg from my pocket and was holding it with both hands, but now it was vibrating so violently that I could miss it if I made a mistake.
Leo moved to the center of the scribble-like magic circle.
his eyes lit up
‘Now what will happen?’
If it is the name of the dragon’s cave and this dragon’s egg, you don’t know.
‘Isn’t the dragon waking up in here?’
If you feed them well and raise them well from hatchlings, they might later become wizards who take care of dragons.
When I imagined that, I unknowingly burst into laughter.
– Awesome!
At the same time, the egg cracked.
Leo expected more because he thought his prediction was correct.
And soon, the incontinence that started at the top of the egg spread throughout.
– Damn it!
The eggs are now covered in tiny gold.
Fang soon! The egg cracked with a sound.
Leo’s face hardened as if he was smiling in anticipation.
“… what?”
The by-products of the shattered eggs fell to the floor.
But nothing came out of the egg.
“Why is there nothing?”
The smile on his lips faded.
I washed my eyes and searched, but nothing was there, except for the debris that flew like sand and slipped through my fingers.
Leo made an impression with the sense of emptiness that came to him.
“This isn’t it. In a situation where I took the elixir of growth, I spent precious time and came this far!”
Wasn’t it a waste of effort!
It was a time when I was getting all kinds of annoyance.
– Ugh!
At that moment, a magic circle like scribbles on the floor shone.
It was not a bright light, but a dark light.
– Woe!
“… … !”
The light suddenly came up in all directions, and without time to do anything, it covered Leo.
