149 – Dark Shadows
ㅡ Shuhwaaa… !!!
As soon as you catch a huge black shadow in the air, you feel a tremendous wind pressure.
A black shadow flying right in our direction.
ㅡ Flutter! Flutter! Flutter!
There was another reason for the wind pressure.
Black, huge wings catch my eye.
Familiar looking wings that stretched out on both sides.
Ridiculously gigantic in size and length.
Heavy wings without feathers.
It looked just like a dragon’s wings.
‘It’s not just the wings, it looks like a dragon, doesn’t it?’
Appearance resembling a dragon.
Short arms and legs resembling a dragon,
And even a single horn curved like a crescent moon sprouted from its forehead.
At first, I thought it was just a dragon.
Sophia, Laylin, Derke.
I thought it might be one of these three.
However, as the distance got closer and closer, it gave off a distinctly different feeling from the dragon.
He must have been covered in black shadows.
Dark and hard black that makes you feel uncomfortable.
It was still during the day when the sun was still bright,
Strangely, the guy kept that deep black color all the time.
“Um, what is that…… ?”
Yes. What I saw was nothing like a shadow. From the beginning, it looked like an existence dyed in black darkness.
“Breder teacher! Avoid-!!!”
As the black monster rushed towards us without hesitation, Sonya, who was standing next to it, rushed towards me.
ㅡ Depth!
Then, while hugging me, he quickly threw himself away.
ㅡKu Kwa Kwaka River!!!!!
A huge monster body slams into the ground.
Accompanied by a tremendous roar and aftershocks.
It was truly a fleeting moment.
I almost bumped into him.
If it hadn’t been for Sonya, she would have become a Rat Po on the spot.
“How uhhh… ? Go, what kind of fuss is this all of a sudden? Why are you so noisy?”
Eros, who had been dazed all along, also came to his senses and looked around.
“Eros! Come to your senses! It’s a monster, a monster-!!! So, you too, quickly prepare for battle… !!”
“Cow, Miss Sonya… ? Did you just say monster?!”
I couldn’t help but be surprised.
He’s a monster out of the blue, right?
I have heard that monsters often appear, but
I thought it was only a story limited to the Continent.
‘Wasn’t at least the academy safe?’
「Kyao oh oh oh ──!!!! 」
Instead of Sonya’s answer to my question, that ‘monster’ resonated in my eardrums.
A sharp cry that would tear the eardrum.
I just heard the sound, but my body atrophied.
A cry resembling a terrible scream.
It resembled a mixture of people’s cries and laments.
“… It’s the first time I’ve seen a monster myself, but it’s the same as I learned in class! And look at that!”
ㅡ Cheo-eok!
Sonya points to the ground with her hand.
The part of the floor where the monster just landed.
The ground has been hollowed out and looks like a crater. Even where the monsters set foot, black twilight slowly dyed the floor.
I intuitively feel the energy that I never want to be close to.
“Oh? That’s what I saw at the first checkpoint earlier…… ?”
“That’s right! It’s clear that the guy did the same thing earlier!”
“Can I? How did the monster get here?”
“It is a monster driven by the unclean power of Detronos… ! So please stick close behind me!”
Sonya blocks my way with her trust.
ㅡClick!
Then, he manipulates the armlet of the cold and appears to take a combat posture.
“Kyaaa! Huge and ferocious… ! Is that really a monster?!”
“Eros? Are you coming to your senses now?”
“Yes! What do you see this Eros-sama as? It’s just that I’ve been experiencing hunger for a while!”
Eros immediately joins Sonya’s call.
ㅡSuddenly, aww!
Eros holds the mace of punishment firmly with both hands. Then, with that small body, he takes the lead and takes a reasonable stance as if he were a tanker.
Sonya and Eros stand in my way, watching his movements.
‘If these two… Might be safer than I thought?’
I didn’t know that the sophomores, who always behaved coldly, would feel so reassured.
Yes, I served for the rest of my life with the stigma of being a Balaur hater, but I should receive this much protection.
I did a good job of raising the likability of the two step by step.
「Kurrure…… !」
A monster that slowly raises its body while letting out a low howl. A guy resembling a dragon’s appearance exudes red eyes.
Black steam continued to sway from the outer skin of the monster covered in black silhouettes. It looks like black flames are burning.
It’s no joke to feel intimidated just by looking at it.
He was also glaring at us.
Flashing red eyes resembling blood.
… ….
The suffocating nervous warfare continues for a while.
Tight tension runs parallel lines.
At the moment even one side loses energy, it seems like a battle will break out.
‘By the way, how do monsters live here…… ?’
Looking at the guy’s terrifying eyes, I felt my body stiffen. Creepy living things run down the spine.
Like that, I gulp dry saliva-! It was time to swallow.
「Kyaaaqs !!!」
The monster glared at me with fierce eyes and suddenly opened its huge mouth! Spread out Then…….
ㅡKiiiiing!
Something black is created inside the mouth.
Black energy started to gather.
A shape that seems to gather strength for an attack.
It’s probably because I’ve seen these directings while playing many games, so I can roughly guess.
ㅡUng Ung Ung Ung Ung Ung… !!!!
Unsurprisingly, the black energy gradually swelled up. Sooner or later, it feels like that jet-black orb will be emitted.
Like a dragon breath.
“Eh, it’s a magic bullet-! Watch out Eros!”
“I know-! Just leave it to me!”
Sonya and Eros never lose their composure even in the most immediate situations. Eros lowers the mace slowly. As if preparing for an upcoming attack.
ㅡKeyiing… ! Tuquahak!!!!!
As soon as they line up, the monster shoots a black magic bullet.
Appearance resembling a black cannonball. The heavy-looking thing is fierce and quickly narrows the distance.
“About this unclean power… !!!”
In response, Eros wielded the mace of punishment. Toward the magic bullet that had approached right in front of me.
ㅡ Buuu!!
A pose as if the number 4 hitter was on the mound.
Pull the mace up from the bottom.
Perhaps it was the mindset that struck the magic bullet and sent it flying into the sky.
‘However, I can’t beat such a terrifying thing with physical force…… ?’
ㅡ Tsukaaa… !!!
“Did you hit it?!”
Contrary to my expectations, Eros lightly counters the magic bullet. A black orb bounces toward the sky in the distance.
Almost as big as a home run, it spreads high and far.
I thought he was simply strong,
The shape of a mace infused with mana.
It was indeed a tremendous power.
Eros, along with magic bullets, was blowing away all the unreliable images all at once.
“Theory and writing aren’t fun, but the actual battle makes my heart pound, so I’m the type of person who likes it-?!”
Eros, who had deflected the magic bullet, shrugged his shoulders triumphantly.
ㅡ Cheolgreuk!
Then she took a pose again.
This time, it was a little different from before.
Rather than a posture to wield a mace,
It looked like it was preparing for a rush.
ㅡKwagakak… !
A low posture as if the body could touch the ground.
Muscles in the thighs and calves contract.
As if it would jump out like a spring towards the monster at any moment.
“Sonia? As always… ! Know-?!”
“Of course, don’t get hurt!”
“hehehe, do you know that I am still in first grade? Please hold me tight!”
ㅡ Fall!
Eros leaps into the air with such a confident voice.
ㅡClick, click… !
At the same time, Sonya let out a chill from her palm. Then, the crystal part of the armlet worn on her wrist shines brightly.
Somehow, it seemed to amplify mana through that.
“Freeze in front of the extreme cold-!!!”
ㅡ Damn… !!!
As Sonya unleashes her powers in an in-game dubbed voice, countless small ice crystals rise from her ground like frost.
‘Is this Sonya’s ability?’
Things like thin ice freeze the legs of monsters in an instant. Rapid freezing was taking place in real time.
“Okay! Now leave it to me~!!!”
When Sonya bound the monster’s legs,
Eros, who jumped high, reacts.
ㅡHwaaak… !
At the right timing, Eros’s mace aimed at the monster’s head. A combo that is properly implemented without an inch of error. It was a pincer attack by those who had been working hand-to-hand for quite some time.
Isn’t it just roommates?
Finishing with a blow after being restrained?
Isn’t that a pretty plausible combination?
Combos that follow neatly like a set formula.
By the way, a combination of freezing and love attributes?
It was an unfamiliar combination,
It doesn’t seem like they have a bad match in battle.
I never thought I would be able to experience the fighting style of Destiny Dragons, who became possessed by only playing gacha.
Anyway, at this rate, Eros seems to be able to break the monster’s earthen pot coolly.
“This Lord Eros punishes in the name of love… !!!”
「Porridge────Wow!!! ＞」
I thought he was shouting a plausible technical name, but he just died.
It’s not even bloody…….
ㅡKuuu!!!
Anyway, the mace of punishment slammed into the ground with a rather bloody scream.
“Cough, Cough… !”
At the same time, thick dust and blades of grass cover the view.
No matter how much you are a subordinate of Detronos, it would be difficult to survive a blow like that.
It’s not really an SSR class for nothing.
That’s also a combo attack by two SSR class players.
It was pretty tidy for a sophomore, who is still in the lower grades.
ㅡShuuu…….
When I am inwardly admiring,
Dust that slowly begins to settle.
After the thick smoke cleared to some extent,
Inside, the shadow of Eros, reminiscent of Hero Landing, is reflected.
“What? Eros?! Why are you alone…… ?”
As the thick dust clears, Sonya’s confused voice is heard.
That would be the case, and only traces of the monster remained where Eros struck, but nothing remained.
However, as I was watching from a distance, I quickly figured out what had happened.
“Ladies?! Look up! Stomach… !!!”
