45 – Lich (1)
After receiving the request from the student council, we immediately moved towards the artificial dungeon.
Is it because I’m alone with Luden?
“·······.”
“·······.’
For some reason, it was very awkward.
Thinking about it, it’s been a long time since we’ve been alone since our first practical class.
I know that I went to an artificial dungeon at that time as well.
“By the way, what are mutant monsters?”
“Yes?”
“Antrior we met last time was also a special entity.”
“I did.”
“I was wondering where those kids come from.”
Hmm. The existence that created the artificial dungeon was none other than the sun god.
However, I don’t think I’ve seen anything related to the special object in the settings.
I just saw that artificial dungeons were created by the sun god.
‘I’m sure it was an artificial dungeon made for humans to fight monsters, right?’
Anyway, it’s impossible to figure out something by thinking about it now.
Rather than that, we need to resolve this issue sooner rather than later.
That way it will be less of a burden to summon Peep.
“Baran. Arrived.”
Then, she tugged at the sleeves of her clothes and pointed to the artificial dungeon.
It seems that I took care of it separately because I was blind.
“Looks like no one is there.”
“Yes. It seems like the academy controlled it so that no one could come in.”
Well, since I was hired by the adventurer’s guild, it was natural in a way.
In fact, it is only natural that we should not be allowed to enter.
Because if done wrong, the damage to life may increase.
“Then let’s go inside.”
“Yes.”
So we entered the artificial dungeon right in front of us.
***
It is in the same maze form as the artificial dungeon in the academy.
Luden looked around her and carefully moved her steps.
But at that moment.
‘Hmm?’
The road ahead was suddenly blocked.
This is what makes dungeons in the form of mazes irritating.
Unlike other dungeons, isn’t the road here quite complicated?
However, there can also be traps.
“I guess it’s not this way.”
“Miss Luden. Could you come out to the side?”
“Huh?”
“To me, this is the right path.”
At that, she tilted her head.
The road is obviously blocked. What are you talking about?
The moment she questions her.
-Jerebuck. That buck
Baran approaches the blocked wall.
At the same time.
– Ugh.
He made a bow and soon.
-Suwook!
Equip an arrow.
The sudden action made Luden perplexed.
Because I didn’t think it would suddenly attack.
At that time.
-Kyaaagh!
Pointy teeth appear on the wall in front of him.
Seeing that, Luden was startled.
He didn’t think that there would be a walled monster.
The next moment.
-Puuuong!
A Mimic that was completely killed by Baran’s arrow.
Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be a very strong monster.
Seeing that he died in one blow.
“How did you know?”
Luden approached Baran with frequent steps and asked.
Then Baran scratches his cheek and replies.
“I don’t know how it looked to Ms. Luden’s eyes, but to my eyes, I saw a wall made of magic.”
“Ah.”
“That’s why I realized it was a Mimic and responded.”
Well, actually, it’s not just because of this.
In the original work, the artificial dungeon here had quite a lot of traps like this, didn’t it?
There are things that I noticed at once because of my inner eye, but in a way, I have to say that it was also thanks to the original work.
‘By the way, Rich guy. Well done.’
The mutant monster the student council talked about.
That guy is none other than Richie.
I know him as a wizard who lost his name in his previous life.
I didn’t set it up as a sub quest, but what’s accurate is that he was a pervert.
So, in this way, artificial dungeons were developed at will.
“Then let’s keep going.”
“Yes.”
We continued walking like that.
Every time I went, I could see the monster.
-Kyaaagh!
On the other hand, sometimes there were just normal monsters.
-Kreuleut!
Occasionally, I saw strange monsters that the lich might have developed separately.
Every time I defeated such a monster, Luden’s expression in the back became serious.
It seems that he realized that this dungeon is quite strange.
“Shall we rest for a bit?”
“Yes. OK.”
She shakes her head at Baran’s suggestion.
So the two sat comfortably for a while.
At the same time.
“·······.”
“·······.”
There was an awkward atmosphere in the world between the two.
Baran looked at her quietly with her mind’s eye.
Status window.
Lv. 41.
Occupation: Swordsman.
Possessed characteristics.
Infinite aptitude (★★★★)
Breaking the limits (★★★★★)
From noble mtl dot com.
The talent you possess.
Weapon skill Lv. 4
Magic Application Lv. 4
Magic Lv. 4.
You’ve grown tremendously.
If you think about it, such growth is natural.
It’s just that Luden isn’t at the training ground, isn’t he catching monsters every day in the form of actual combat?
Considering the ability to break through limits, it wouldn’t be strange to grow so quickly.
Now, it is clear that at the time of the performance evaluation, Sherry will not be too much trouble.
‘Come to think of it.’
When I thought of Sherry, a question arose for no reason.
Baran passed her question to her.
“Come to think of it, Miss Luden.”
“Huh?”
“How was it just the two of you with Miss Sherry? You seem to have become quite close after the tour.”
“Ah.”
At his question, Luden exclaimed.
Then, open your lips.
“The tour was nothing special. I only did the quests in the Adventurer’s Guild.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
It hasn’t changed much from the original.
Isn’t this the purpose of the Sherry route in the first place?
Let’s look at Baran as if that’s the end, then Luden continues.
“And we sparred.”
“Dalian?”
“Sherry said he wanted to stick together properly.”
It is the same development as the original.
If we switched to the Sherry route, wouldn’t the two of them sparring once?
And I know that the two are reconciling.
‘The result is that the main character wins.’
When Baran thought so.
“But I lost.”
“Yes?”
Unexpected words came out of Luden’s mouth.
That caused Baran to stare at her in amazement.
The next moment, she answers his question.
“What should I say? He used the power he showed in the previous training course.”
“Ah…!”
In the next moment, I understood at once why Luden was here.
Even in the original version, Sherry’s power remains the same while being enhanced.
However, it was natural for her to be defeated by Luden.
Because I lost in the first place.
However.
‘Thinking about it, it was more strengthened than the original.’
Come to think of it, it’s not strange that Luden loses.
I don’t know how much it is now, but at the time of the performance evaluation, Sherry’s level was around 40.
‘Recently, I didn’t look at the main cast’s status window because I was too busy taking care of myself.’
At this point, she has no idea how much Sherry has grown.
Even after the performance evaluation, in the original work, he grew up by storm.
When Baran recalls Sherry’s power, she gets goosebumps.
“How were you?”
Luden tilted her head and asked.
What she is asking is probably about the field trip with Lilia.
But, would it be better to tell the truth about this?
Honestly, it’s not a story worth telling others.
“Mmm. I just attacked the dungeon in charge of the El Dorado Company.”
“Huh. And then you hugged the princess.”
“Yes, yes… how do you know that?”
Unexpected words came out of her mouth, and I was unknowingly startled.
No. What? Why do you know?
As Baran is sweating profusely, she narrows her eyes.
“Looking at the reaction, it looks real.”
“Uh, hmm.”
“I couldn’t believe that was the reason why I chose Lilia.”
“·······.”
Anyway, it feels like she has firmly misunderstood something.
As Baran panics, she raises the corner of her mouth.
“It’s a joke. I just wanted to see you flustered.”
Um, is MZ playing pranks like this these days?
Inwardly puzzled, he nodded his head with a puzzled face.
“Oh, yes.”
“Move more slowly than that. I think I’ve had enough rest.”
“Yes. Let it be.”
After saying that, the two stood up.
Soon, I moved toward the boss room again.
***
Like that, the two attacked the dungeon one after another while killing passing monsters.
About an hour later, they eventually succeeded in escaping the maze.
“Whoa, the maze is more complicated than I thought.”
“Sure.”
In fact, if other adventurers had seen it, they would have been shocked by the actions of the two.
Because attacking an ordinary maze of dungeons in a few hours is close to nonsense.
“Doesn’t it look like it’s over there anyway?”
“Yes. It seems so.”
As soon as I escaped the maze, what I saw was a shabby house.
Just looking at it, you can see that a lich lives there.
‘Let’s check once before going in.’
Thinking of that, I used my mind’s eye.
Soon, Miroel also looked at that room to check what was going on inside.
Now then.
‘No, f*ck. What am I looking at?’
Baran was speechless at the sight reflected in his field of vision.
That would be the case too.
-Unlike words, your body is honest!
Aren’t you harassing a female golem with a vibe?
When Baran was dumbfounded, she suddenly cried out as Miroel, who was next to her, covered her eyes with her hand.
– Disciple! Right now, a strange lich is harassing that place against a female golem with a pink balloon!
No. You don’t even have to talk about that. Master.
The timing was such a f*cking moment.
Wtf bruhhhh💀💀
