146 – Dungeon Attack
“Hmm, the fire giants outside must have been more difficult.”
Muttered while shaking the sword that Yuri had swung.
It’s a habit she shows after each battle.
A sword of glass that reaches an S rank is a renowned sword that boasts outstanding performance.
When I borrowed it when I was still weak, I had to consume my soul in return.
Apart from that, Yuri loved that sword terribly.
Considering she had it from the start, it probably has something to do with her previous life.
‘Is it a sword that can only be used by the knights that Yuri belonged to in her previous life?’
There is a possibility considering that I talked about qualifications when I heard it.

Anyway, Yuri lightly polished her sword and put it back in her scabbard.
“Good job. There were a lot of them, but it didn’t matter.”
“I almost wouldn’t mind bringing her kids.”
We found the dungeon safely and entered it.
As soon as we entered the dungeon, countless undead attacked us.
If it’s zombies, we’re the ones who fought terribly on Earth.
This is no threat to us.
In particular, Yuri slaughtered the Undead with her overwhelming swordsmanship.
In less than 10 minutes, the floor was filled with dead bodies of zombies.
Still, they were stronger than the ones on Earth.
It’s because 3 or 4 were swept away by the glass sword.
“They say that Hela’s men couldn’t break through. I don’t think I could have struggled with this. Is it a dungeon where passwords or labyrinths are the key?”
“Maybe. If I didn’t have you, I would have had a hard time getting in.”
Yuri looked at me curiously as she spoke.
“How can you solve passwords and quizzes so quickly?”
“It’s been a specialty since long ago.”
“If you think about it, you knew a lot of things from the old days. Is it a trait or class effect?”
“Well, it’s similar.”
I haven’t told you all about my abilities yet.
If you find out that this world is a novel, you will only be shocked.
In fact, the same applies to glass.
What kind of past does Yuri have exactly.
What kind of world did you come from and which knights did you belong to?
Until how he was reincarnated.
We didn’t ask about this in detail.
However, thanks to the conversation we had, I only knew the rough situation.
It’s not that Yuri isn’t the type to be reluctant to answer.
She always missed her timing because she felt like she couldn’t ask easily.
It may be because she knows that the knights in her previous life mean more to Yuri than just her comrades.
I don’t know, but the glass we know is the same, so it doesn’t matter.
She is, of course, genuinely curious about what kind of life she lived.
It’s not easy to acquire swordsmanship like glass.
“Come to think of it, Yuri, who did you learn the sword from?”
“To the seniors.”
“If you were a senior…were you in the same knights?”
“All of the swordsmanship I use was learned from the Knights, and the modified movements are also rooted there. A Moebius sword technique developed by the first leader of the ‘Moebius Knights’. A swordsmanship called invincible in our world.”
There was a sense of pride in Yuri’s expression as she spoke.
You are really proud of your order.
It was a face that made me think that way.
By the way, Yuri in front of me learned swordsmanship from someone else?
I can’t imagine what it would look like right now.
“Then your senior was stronger than you?”
At my words, Yuri crossed her arms for a while and fell into trouble.
“Um, seniors would get angry if they heard it… But I don’t think so. I should have been stronger, at least in the last moment.”
If it’s the last moment… You’re referring to the time when the Knights were massacred in the previous life.
“Well, I’ve been in the Knights since I was very young, and I didn’t like being looked down upon as a woman, so I focused more on the sword.”
“Since when have you been a knight?”
“About 10 years old.”
“10 Years old?!”
I thought Yuri was a genius, but she is still too young.
When I asked back in surprise, Yuri waved her hand.
“It wasn’t like the kind of official joining that you think. Just by coincidence, she entered as a trainee… And then she showed signs of growth, and she officially joined.”
“That alone is great. Wouldn’t it have been a good environment for a woman and a child to live as a knight?”
Even in modern times, there is a strong perception that soldiers and mercenaries are the work of tough people.
It is also a world where it is difficult to survive otherwise.
A girl as pretty as Yuri in a place like that… Even if she had been there since childhood, there would have been many troubles.
No, in the first place, wouldn’t there have been a case of a woman becoming a knight?
“Well, that was it. Because I was always the only woman in our Knights.”
“It’s amazing. Was there a moment when you decided to become a knight?”
“Just to live. I don’t know here, but it was common in our world even before the end.”
She shrugged her shoulders lightly, as if it was no big deal to Yuri.
“I grew up as an orphan in the countryside. The territorial and bullying is worse for things that don’t exist. Then I was about 9 years old? I accidentally got a wooden sword. When I held it in my hand, I thought I could win at least the head of the alley in my neighborhood. That’s how I became a member of the Moebius Knights.”
“……I think something was very omitted?”
“No, nothing really happened. It was just that bandits came into our village and it was a mess, but I killed the guy who tried to rape me in reverse and took the sword and fought with it.”
…….Isn’t that enough ‘special’?
Well, in a world where there are still knights, that might be the case.
“When I came to my senses, I saw that I was fighting with the knights who came to save the village? The captain noticed me like that and asked if I wanted to write an article. The village was ruined anyway, so I had nowhere to go, so I followed him. Because I worked hard, it seemed that I had a talent for swords.”
Normally, you would think that way when you kill a thief.
After listening to it, I want Yuri to have lived a very eventful life.
Originally, does a novel’s protagonist have to have such a past?
What can I do…I was just an ordinary otaku before the first episode.
“Yuri, you have been a genius since childhood.”
“I had a knack for shutting up people who looked down on me as a woman.”
Yuri replied with a pleasant smile.
It seems that his personality was not very different then and now.
Rather, it may have been more difficult to handle than now.
I just want to buy him something delicious…….
“Then your seniors taught you all swordsmanship. Can anyone learn that?”
“Not really. For now, it can only be taught to those who are recognized as members of our Knights. Well, it’s a rule that doesn’t mean anything right now.”
“After hearing the story, it seems that there were many good people in your knights.”
“Yes, my proud knights.”
Yuri looked happy the whole time he was talking.
It was a subject I thought might be dark.
It was as if he was proud of his brother or sister.
To that extent, the Knights of the past must have been special to Yuri.
“Then, since I’ve rested enough, shall we go soon? Is your stamina okay?”
“If you’re tired like this, you’ll have to get your ass kicked by the seniors.”
“Hmm, the fact that you threw me out in the first place was something you learned from your senior.”
“Hey, hey. Embarrassing……. When are you talking about?”
We went deep into the dungeon, exchanging jokes.
As I walked through the darkness like that, a huge door suddenly appeared.
“Constructively, this is probably the last place, right?”
“Perhaps. There was not even a strong enemy like this. There seems to be a high probability that there will be a boss.”
Well, looking at the level of miscellaneous mobs, I don’t think it’s that strong just because it’s a boss.
Still, don’t be careless.
We opened the door with determination.
As soon as we stepped into the room, black smoke suddenly enveloped us.
‘What is this?’
It wasn’t particularly painful or powerful.
It’s not like a poison mist either.
After frowning my eyes for a while… The scenery that was unfolding to me suddenly changed.
You must have been in a dark cave earlier.
I was suddenly standing in the middle of a place with a completely different atmosphere.
The orange sunset seen through the window.
Beside it was a familiar desk and chair.
If you turn your head, you will see a large green chalkboard.
Perhaps every Korean has seen this scenery at least once.
This is the classroom I went to school every day when I was still a student.
A sight that makes you feel nostalgic because you can no longer see it.
There is a girl sitting at a desk against the backdrop of that place.
Her name is written on a name tag hanging near her slightly bulging chest.
Yoo Hye-na.
Wearing a white blouse and plaid skirt.
A girl with a kind expression, her black hair blowing in the wind blowing through the window.
I’ve seen it in the past, and I probably won’t see it anymore.
“Why are you blank, Jihoon-ah?”
Hye-na had her unique kind smile and called me with a voice mixed with affection.
‘This is an illusion.’
I realized from the moment I first entered this space.
That’s because my characteristic ‘metafiction’ was reacting fiercely.
[The trait ‘Metafiction’ detects that what is in front of you is ‘fiction’!]
There is such a thing as a lucid dream.
In other words, lucid dreaming.
It means to realize that it is a dream while dreaming.
I wonder if that’s exactly how I feel right now.
Actually, I noticed from the moment Hyena and I were alone in the classroom.
Even though Hyena and I were childhood friends during our school days, we weren’t as close as we are now.
To be precise, I unilaterally pushed him away.
I used to pack my bag and leave right after class.
It was during my school days that I had no ties to these after-school events.
Oh shit. When I thought about it, I suddenly started to feel a little sad.
‘……Anyway, I’m worried about Yuri.’
Unlike me, Yuri has almost no mental defense ability.
If it’s the only weakness of the overwhelming Yuri in terms of force.
As expected, it must be the case of being attacked on the mental side.
I need to get out of here quickly and help Yuri.
That was when I was thinking about how to get out.
Suddenly, Hyena grabbed my wrist.
I am fully aware that this place is an illusion.
However, the face and expressions are so realistic that it is indistinguishable from the real one.
In the first place, it was natural for me that the world was ‘fiction’, so it was even more difficult to distinguish them.
Hyena was looking up at me with her face slightly blushing as if she was shy.
As she did, she unbuttoned her blouse, revealing her breasts slightly.
“Hey, Jihoon. We… There’s no one here… Why don’t we do something fun just the two of us? It’s okay if you don’t have any books here.”
“… ….”
