“Ugh…”
As I let out a sigh, I saw the lich’s body turn gray and disappear.
He was like that in Hero Academia, but he was a very nasty guy when we met in real life.
From various magics to magical attacks, curses, and undead summons.
If it wasn’t for Serenia, we might have suffered quite a bit.
“What was that?”
“Ah. Sanctuary activation? It is to block the curses of undead or demonic enemies.”
The most terrifying thing among the lich’s attacks was the series of curses he poured before he collapsed like a last-ditch effort.
It was Serenia’s Sanctuary that prevented that. She said it was not a big deal, but that level of sanctuary could only be used by priests in a fairly high position in the Vatican.
She didn’t know that no matter how Serenia she was, she could already use it.
“I’m not the only one who played during vacation.”
Like the others, Serenia seems to have trained quite a bit. As we watched in amazement, she flinched behind her, embarrassed.
“What?! You thought I’d only drink alcohol on vacation?!”
“Yes.”
Chun Soo-ho nodded her head confidently and she grinned and raised her fist.
Let’s leave those two surprised like that and see what happens.
“Oh…”
“Did anything good come out?”
“There’s nothing better than a lich staff and a lich skull.”
The wand may come at a price, but there’s no one among us who can use it right now. Lich’s wand is only useful for dark wizards. If Yuchoa didn’t have an orb, he would use this one, but as long as he had an orb, the Lich’s wand would have no use other than exchanging it for points.
The lich’s skull is used to make this kind of high-end equipment or to enhance artifacts, so if you hand it over to the association, you’ll get a lot of points.
It was not a deficit, but it was true that it was regrettable.
“…I’ll have to be content with defeating the lich.”
As Elizabeth said, I should be content with just defeating the lich, who is famous for being a troublesome opponent among class A monsters.
Yes. We didn’t come here to farm…
“…But that’s a pity.”
“Whoa, whoa. It’s okay. Next time you’ll get something better.”
“Yes. If you need anything, I’ll take care of it.”
Elizabeth and Jin Shi-yeon. They both held out their hands to me at the same time. And I was startled…
“…Didn’t I stick it out first?”
“What are you talking about…”
They started glaring at each other again, and in the meantime, Yoo Choa approached me and stood me up.
“Ah!?”
“You Choa…!”
“Then why are the two of you fighting each other? Uheh~. Our Yohan. Don’t be too disappointed. Can my sister stroke me?”
“Thank you very much for that. Anyway, what I caught is what I caught, so let’s clean up and get ready to return. The core… Ah. I’m already cleaning it up.”
The two who had been bickering earlier were absorbing energy cores from the center.
It’s a white dungeon, so it seems to take some time. When I went there, I saw Cheon Soo-ho looking at Core with a serious face.
“Why do you look like that? Have you ever chewed sh*t?”
“Um. No. The whiteness is this much, so I wonder if we can go to the ruins alone.”
“I heard that most of the mid-bosses in the ruins belong to Class A?”
It seems Serenia was worried about that too. Well, what we have to do is to catch four A-class monsters in a row.
“Are you scared?”
“What?!
“Just let me do it…!! If the enemy is undead, I’ll wipe it out right away!”
The expression that had been stiff up until now contained the will to fight. After. Like simple guys.
“Shouldn’t the ghosts also be regarded as undead?”
“Isn’t it demonic? Anyway, it’s a ghost… It must be a headache to deal with… Hmm…”
Thinking deeply about something, she nodded her head as if determined.
How can I be anxious?
“What are you thinking?”
“I need to bring some holy wine.”
“The lord of the castle?”
“Wine used in ceremonies at the Vatican. It contains more holy power than most holy water, so using it will make it easier to catch demons.”
Speaking lightly, she checked the arranged energy core and threw it at me. As I received it, Serenia shrugged her lightly at her.
“I’m going to the Vatican, so share it among you guys. Take care of mine too.”
“Oh. Yes. But don’t you have anything you need to get the holy wine?”
Anyway, it’s more precious than holy water.
But she shook her head indifferently.
“If you report that you caught a lich, he will take care of it.”
Well, the Vatican would like it if I said I caught a lich, which is a fairly high rank in the Undead category.
Speak lightly and she goes out of the dungeon. Her cage didn’t have to stay with her, so we followed her.
The white dungeon begins to collapse as we all exit. While watching it, the approaching soldiers vomited admiration when they saw us.
“Awesome. I hear they’re still cadets…”
“I heard that the jockey cadets are very good this time…”
“hahahaha. It wasn’t a big deal.”
Of course, I went through a lot of hard work, but I don’t have to say that.
After confirming that the white dungeon had completely collapsed while receiving admiring glances from the soldiers, we watched them announce the end of the situation and withdraw before heading to the gate. Serenia went to the Vatican, as we said before, and we headed straight to the Society.
“I’m here to report the dungeon raid and get points. This is the result… Here’s the evidence video and energy core.”
“Ah. Yes… Huh?! This is a lich’s wand and skull?! Wow! That’s awesome!! Aren’t you cadets yet?!”
As the receptionist said in surprise, the eyes of the people around him were directed to this place. Admiration bursts out with a murmur.
“Wow. That’s great. Aren’t they freshmen??”
“Look over there. It’s Elizabeth Taylor. There’s also Jin Shi-yeon. As expected, the famous family is different…”
“Isn’t that Yuchoa? The other day…”
“Ah. He said he took down that B-rank villain Sayvid?”
“Ha. The juniors are coming up quickly. It wasn’t just Ryu Sena and Joo Se-hee.”
“I have to work harder before being pushed by my juniors.”
Envy, admiration, and a bit of envy and jealousy.
But this will have to be pushed on and endured.
“I don’t see one participant…”
“Ah. He said he has business with the Holy See.”
“Then can you tell me his points separately?”
“Yes, I do.”
As a representative, I received Serenia’s points. It has risen quite a bit, but it was still impossible to reach A-level.
I have to go around the ruins…
“Huh!”
“It’s been a while!”
It was a voice full of cheerfulness and a little stretchy.
As soon as he heard that, Jin Shi-yeon turned her head and ran at her poof.
“You traitor!! I believed you! I believed you!!”
Jin Si-yeon shouted at Yeon Ji-ho. He hurriedly pointed to her side, stunned by her bloody spirit.
“No, not me, he said!”
“Ayoung must have known what to tell her father!!”
“Ugh… That’s why you’re here to help.”
Yeon Ji-ho is completely dejected, and Ji-a-young whistles while looking elsewhere.
Jin Si-yeon, who was sprinting toward the high level A-class heroes, let out a big sigh and growled.
“If you don’t do it right, you know?”
“Ah. Ahahahaha… Yes. Yes. Hey. Long time no see. How are you?”
“hahahaha… Yes. How are you two?”
“What do you have? But are you going to keep talking about it here?”
The gaze around me became stronger. Ji Ah-young looked around and sighed. Well, it’s kind of like talking about it here.
“Let’s go somewhere else for now.”
As soon as he entered the soundproofed room used as a conference room inside the cafeteria on the first floor of the association, Yeon Ji-ho opened his mouth seriously.
“So. What ruins?”
“The ruins are located on Mt. Inwang.”
“Ah. There? I know there. But it’s a place that hasn’t been investigated yet, so it might be dangerous. If you’re like us and have a lot of experience in visiting ruins, you know… Wouldn’t it be a bit dangerous for you guys?”
He looked at the headcount table I showed him and slightly frowned.
“Even with fewer people…”
Jiayoung also spoke seriously as if trying to stop it. But if it wasn’t for this, it would be impossible to challenge the black dungeon except me and Yuchoa.
“The minimum standard for the selection test for clearing black dungeons is only A-class. Even people who have been in A-class for a long time often fail… Do I really need to try that now?”
“Yes. Yes. Slow down. Is someone chasing you from behind with a knife?”
“It’s because we’re chasing them with knives.”
“Ah. That’s right.”
Jiho Yeon answered with an awkward smile. Well, from that point of view, it must feel like we’re chasing us with knives.
Jin Si-yeon, who smiled at him, tapped her on the table.
“So, why not?”
“I have to, but…”
“That’s all right. And don’t worry too much. It won’t be a problem if John gets the buff. We cleared the white dungeon as well.”
“Oh? Yes?”
Perhaps because they cleared the White Dungeon, their expressions improved. However, it seems that they were still anxious about going to the ruins with this number of people.
After thinking for a moment, the two stared at each other and smiled.
“If that’s the case, the story will be different. You must have come up with a strategy, right?”
“Yes. The mid-boss of Inwangsan Ruins must be a ghost type. You can think of it as a spearman.”
“A spearman?”
Elizabeth tilted her head. Jin Si-yeon and Yoo Cho-a didn’t respond much, as if they knew about the window.
“It is said that if eaten by a tiger, it becomes an evil spirit. According to my research, the boss of the ruins in Mt. Inwang is Akho. It is a beast-type monster, an evil tiger. The mid-bosses of the ruins where Akho is the boss are spears. There’s a very high chance it’s a ghost. So the strategy is…”
I told you a strategy I know. And Yeon Ji-ho and Ji Ah-young, who had experience catching Akho and Chang-gwi, put on detailed flesh.
While the three of us were talking while sipping coffee at a cafe, Elizabeth, Jin Shi-yeon, Yoo Cho-ah, and Cheon Su-ho interrupted and told us what they had to do.
How many hours did the strategy meeting last?
The contents of how to attack were roughly organized.
“Hoo. This is really worth it, right?”
“Hey. Isn’t this facing our history? The scene where the freshmen cadets attack the ruins with the minimum number of people.”
Jia-Young said while taking a picture of Yeon Ji-Ho’s side. I smiled unconsciously at her anticipation-filled gaze.
Face the history…
I don’t think so.
