Chapter 129 – Cloud-Shrouded Nest (10)
“The arrangement is too fast. Calm down more The more complex the magical structure is, the slower it must turn. Arrange them calmly and sequentially so that the magic does not jump out when manifesting.”
A voice that I hear from the side every day without fail.
Kim Chae-eun tried to let it go while putting it in her head.
Master always emphasized ‘reference’.
Advice from the side should always be taken as a reference.
Realizing and taking one step ahead, in the end, Kim Chae-eun should be herself.
Because of this, it is a dedicated class day to train with Jeong Seon-yeong.
Countless advice passed by her ears, but Kim Chae-eun had to work hard to carve it into her heart and shake it off at the same time.
‘Slowly. And exactly.’
Speed isn’t what’s important to wizards.
Even if it takes time, one room is sure.
Even if it’s a little slow, it’s a completed attack.
As much as the warrior series endured in the front line, the ‘dealer’ mage series had to prepare a deal that met expectations.
‘… Done!’
Kim Chae-eun, who was constantly fighting alone, finally completed her preparation process and cast her magic.
[Ultimate Frost] And [Field Freezing].
It was a ‘double casting’ that unfolds both single and wide-area skills at the same time.
Pat- damn-
Self-
All of the magical structures that had been prepared as substitutes for the monsters were frozen.
Both the central rock and the surrounding vegetation.
It was a result indicating that the two conflicting forms of magic were successfully cast.
Master looked at me from the side with a heavy expression.
Jeong Seon-young also smiled brightly.
“Congratulations. You’re doing double casting.”
“Ah….”
Double casting.
One of the spell methods that can be used by wizards who have reached at least B-class holders and meet special conditions.
What is meant by “Special conditions” Here?
[Adrian’s Spell] A type of mage that possesses runes.
[Adrian’s Spell] Is a tricky spell rune.
It took a long time to arrange and manifest, and it was quite difficult to raise the level, so it was a rune with much more disadvantages than [Florian Spell].
However, if you can make it your own, it was a rune with many advantages.
The representative usage method is the same ‘double casting’ as just before.
Being able to use two spells at the same time was a very attractive advantage for wizards who had clear limits.
“You’re really B-class now. As long as you fill in the holder achievements, the promotion will be easy.”
To Kim Chae-eun, who had a blank face, congratulations from Jeong Seon-yeong were heard again.
That’s right, a B-rank holder.
By succeeding in her just double casting, Kim Chae-eun has reached a completely different level B in terms of her skills.
It wasn’t just words.
[Exquisite arrangement, precise application, clean expression! Your proficiency with magical powers is being pushed to the limit. The level of understanding of magical powers and spells increases rapidly.]
[The level of the ‘Magical Control’ rune has risen.]
[The level of the ‘Adrian’s Order’ rune has risen.]
[The level of the ‘freeze’ rune has risen.]
[Acquires 3 magical power with the rune’s inclination.]
As if having gained a great realization, information windows appeared without a break.
Thanks to this, the level of the main runes exceeded level 10, and the magical power level was also over 50.
They were information windows that let her know that Kim Chae-eun had become a B-class holder even in terms of her visible figures.
And….
[The affinity for ice is close to phenomenal. High affinity and understanding bring another wind when reaching the state. The talent inherent in you blooms.]
[You have obtained a new rune, ‘Frozen Battlefield’.]
[Acquires 1 magical power with the inclination of the rune.]
Another information window popped up…
This time, Kim Chae-eun’s face was stained with embarrassment.
The rune upon awakening is the talent given to the holder.
She had received the normal rune [Freeze], And she thought that she should continue to focus on it.
“S, Master. I….”
But now.
That general rule was being broken.
An epic rune that Master has.
[Frozen Battlefield] Is said to be the best in terms of ice properties.
Those runes…
It was recorded in Kim Chae-eun’s 〈 holder information 〉.
It was the moment when the bud of talent, which had been tightly closed, finally blossomed.
* * *
The attack on the cloud-covered nest went smoothly.
At first, I wanted to go around this vast plain at any time, but surprisingly it wasn’t difficult to find the direction.
Moon Ga-eun’s search rune [Dolphin’s Sound Wave].
Following this, looking for the place where the monsters are gathered, the direction was naturally determined… Following this all the way, I passed the entrance and crossed the middle part before I knew it.
“Ga-eun!”
“Yes!”
The party hunting with Moon Ga-eun also became more proficient.
She wasn’t out of breath in the first place, but her level went up a lot after clearing dungeons together for a long time.
Now, we know what to do just by calling each other by name.
It was almost similar to the breathing when Kim Chae-eun and her party were hunting in the middle of the day.
“Sigh….”
“Do Jae-hyun!!”
Of course, it was not without crisis.
There was no problem with a few B-class monsters, but it was quite a burden when there were more than four A-class monsters.
Aerial monsters usually don’t run in groups, but that only seems to apply to the Songnisan field.
In the cloud-covered nest, countless monsters would appear in groups.
And to solve this crisis situation…
“Ah!”
“Seong Na-yeon Holder!”
It was Seong Na-yeon, the A-class holder who was firmly escorted from behind.
She quietly watched our hunting, and when a dangerous situation like this came, she took care of the monsters herself.
Extremely skilled wind magic and brilliant swordsmanship.
As a multi-holder, the skill that comes out of admiration.
She showed him off and she silently helped us hunt.
… In effect, there was one more A-rank holder in the party.
However, Seong Na-yeon’s attitude remained the same.
“Never mind me. You can do what you do.”
What the hell is that “Doing”? .
Even though she seemed to be quietly helping, she would send an expectant look from time to time.
Moon Ga-eun and I clenched our teeth and ignored that gaze.
I didn’t know what kind of report would come to Moon Jeong-hyeok if I did something like skinship with that figure.
‘… If I don’t do it, will I worry again?’
If it was Moon Jeong-hyeok, there was a good chance.
Anyway, with the help of Moon Ga-eun and Seong Na-yeon, we were finally able to reach the end of the dungeon.
End of the middle part.
A nest finally visible at the end of the vast plain.
Just as the entrance to the dungeon was a nest, the boss room also seemed to be a nest.
But this, too, was no ordinary nest.
“Wow… What is so big?”
“Should I see this as a nest?”
We looked at the giant nest with tired faces.
If a normal nest is made of small twigs…
This nest is made up of huge trees.
Huge-sized old trees laid horizontally and a large empty lot inside them.
The scale was too overwhelming to be called a nest.
“The boss room, right?”
“Of course. I am alone like an oasis in this wide plain.”
Inside the boss room, there are only various landmarks.
There were no monsters that stood out in particular.
It seemed to be because all the monsters in the dungeon were aerial monsters, and the boss monsters we would soon encounter were also likely to be aerial monsters.
And….
Hey hey-
Queee-!!
Let’s stand on one side of the giant nest…
A strange cry was heard from somewhere.
Arguably one of the most horrifying screams I’ve ever heard.
Even listening from a distance, you could feel the waves.
“Come!”
Covering the sunlight, a huge monster appeared.
A body and wings so large as to cover the entire sky.
It has the shape of a bird, but with its outstretched legs and rough appearance, it is a lizard.
Covered in deep blue color, even the scales that glisten once.
Dragon or sub-dragon.
Among the monsters I’ve met so far, if I were to find the one closest to him, he had an appearance similar to that of a dragon.
An A-class monster that I’ve only heard about through rumors.
A monster whose majesty looks close to S-class.
The ‘wyvern’ seemed obvious.
“Everyone, come behind me!”
And then.
Seong Na-yeon, who had been watching the situation quietly, jumped out in front of us.
Then, she immediately uses her magical power to manifest something.
It is similar to using [Levitation] When entering a dungeon.
It was a posture to prepare for wind attribute magic.
Hey hey-
Queee-!!
Once again, the wyvern roared.
Kwa, Kwa Gaga-!!
Phat, phat, kooooong!!
And the terrain around the nest began to be smashed.
As if struck by a meteorite, the intangible energy pierced a hole through it and collapsed step by step.
“This, this….”
At Nayeon’s call, we quickly approached her and watched the scene in a cold sweat.
Thanks to her spreading her powerful shield with her wind attribute magic, we were fortunately able to escape the damage.
Seong Na-yeon brought her words out.
“A monster who knows how to use wind attribute magic runes. It’s a much stronger boss than the monsters you’ve encountered so far. At least A-class, the possibility of S-class should also be considered. There was too much concentrated mana, so I had to deal with it urgently… “
Her gaze turned to the wyvern that controlled the sky.
“That monster seems to be able to handle the wind better than me.”
That was obviously not good news.
