Episode 27
“As expected, when you become a rider at the level of a senior, your level of swordsmanship is different from ours.”
“It’s not that tidy. Anyone can do this.”
how about that
According to the setting, her family, the Marquess of Belkenil, is also a prestigious family that has produced outstanding warriors for generations.
In short, the Thoroughbred of the swordsmanship world.
“Seeing the senior’s sword makes me want to hold the sword for some reason. Now, take the potion.”
“Whoop whoop… … . Then, would you like to learn a sword, too?”
After receiving the stamina potion I threw lightly and emptying it out, Lisetta-senpai happily accepts my flattery.
“I will decline now. I don’t think he’s good enough to handle swordsmanship.”
“Hmm~. Do you think you’ll do it right if you start unexpectedly?”
I meant to give you half a boost, but you really listen.
Lisetta puts the empty potion bottle down on the floor and takes a serious look at me.
“Hmm? The juniors are surprisingly strong for a wizard.”
“It’s kind of itchy to say it while looking at a person’s forearm.”
“Do you look at the usual training? What are you doing?”
no. I eat snacks and sleep, play with the succubus and sleep, play with the cat-eared spirits who sometimes come to play these days, and sleep again.
To be precise, it is a body made with levels and skills.
“You are surprisingly diligent.”
“… … You hear it often.”
Conscience is pricked.
I’m worried about the aftermath because the image of me seems to have been created arbitrarily.
… … Doesn’t it really matter?
“Even if you say that, junior, don’t you have a lot of skills?”
Even though it’s a magic class with a different training system than Aura users, it can be guessed.
“Hmm… … . how is it Well, since you said that, I’ll take care of the next monster that appears.”
Little by little, being the only one playing is kind of aching for some reason.
The level of monsters encountered there also gradually rises. The numbers are also increasing.
It must be because you are gradually approaching the boss room.
“Because it looks like I will have to go hard soon.”
At least once, I have to show that I am not a slick junior.
“It’s coming just in time.”
As soon as words run out, new monsters appear.
Three ogres made of rocks.
I think the estimated level is around 14.
“Looks solid. Shall I take care of that too?”
“No, there is a wizard just in case of this.”
I’ve seen serious swordsmanship.
You have to show your seniors full-fledged black magic to be able to call it fair trade.
In addition, he has to gradually play the role of a junior.
It’s not bad to be comfortable, but if I don’t show my presence to some extent, it’ll be difficult to express my opinion.
“I’ll wipe it out at once, so please wait a little bit.”
go out leisurely
It raises the mana stored in the body and rotates the circle.
Use all three circles as pool.
Raises all of the maximum amount of energy that can be used.
I don’t care too much
Of course, the monsters aren’t playing either. It roared and ran towards me, wondering how it felt about my rising demonic energy.
“It doesn’t matter. You savage monster.”
It is blocked by Emily and bounced off.
Basically, the role of a familiar is to fill in the gaps of the caster when casting magic.
The black thunderbolts that Emily poured out as a check tied the monster’s feet.
I activated my first spell.
– Hands of Black Mud.
As I chanted the magic, the arms of black mud protruding from among the monsters grabbed them and pulled them in.
Holding magic is really convenient.
First of all, you need to collect it in moderation.
It’s better to concentrate as much as possible to finish with a single shot.
and second.
– Black flame annihilation octane.
Circle 3 fire black magic.
It is a magic that is compatible with the 2nd circle black flame and boasts a wider range of damage.
Even when I was playing games, I often used it when developing characters of the black magic class.
It is very good for early sheep hunting.
“Burn them all.”
A black fireball the size of half my height is created and falls down in a parabolic arc with a gesture.
The center of the point where the monsters are entangled.
From noble mtl dot com
aaang!
The dome of black heat spreads out and swallows the monsters, followed by an additional explosion.
As the monster turns to ashes along with the surging flames, the heat-bearing magic crystal rolls around and slowly cools down.
After all, it feels best when you collect magic and explode it in one shot to wipe it out.
“Wow… … . Gorgeous.”
Looking at the scene, he proudly asked, glancing at Lisetta, who exclaimed in admiration.
“what… … . Is it worth using magic?”
I don’t know if it would have become a spectacle comparable to the swordsmanship I showed you a while ago.
The ability of magic to support swordsmanship is sufficient.
It means that it is not really smooth.
With this, you will reach your destination without any problems.
* * *
This is the most basic policy to deal with the emergency of the dungeon appearance.
complete blockade.
Instructions to intercept the monsters from escaping from the dungeon and prevent a blind human from jumping into the dungeon and making the situation worse.
In addition, this place is not another place, it is the Imperial Academy.
Among the students, there are those who have excellent skills and experience comparable to active soldiers, and there are excellent professors.
It was possible to prevent the monsters from escaping from the academy’s premises and reaching the city.
“… … Isn’t something strange?”
Then, someone muttered.
“The monsters… … Are you going back?”
The cries of the monsters, which were ferociously growling in order to get rid of those who interfered with the stabilization of the dungeon, gradually began to subside.
Although the number has decreased considerably, it is still too early to calm the situation.
“… … Are the monsters watching the dungeon?”
The monsters were returning towards the entrance of the dungeon as if they were being called.
“What should I do in a situation like this?”
“I’m sorry. Monsters rampaging is also a problem, but I’ve never heard of such a phenomenon.”
The professors who were giving instructions to the students also clicked their tongues.
“Have you changed your priorities?”
“no way… … .”
“Come to think of it, I heard that there is a student involved?”
“What the hell is going on inside?”
Only speculation comes and goes, and no one is sure about the situation.
They broke out in a cold sweat as they looked in the direction where the entrance to the dungeon was revealed.
* * *
The attack process went smoothly.
If the route as I remember is clear, I will soon enter the boss room, which is the core of the dungeon.
“As I said before, I will peek inside just in case.”
“Yeah, you decided to do that.”
“You must never go into the boss room first. Especially if there’s a mirror or something nearby, don’t even make eye contact!”
“Yes… … .”
I repeated my words to Lisetta, who nodded despite her face not knowing why.
‘All I have to do is convince Lisetta so she can’t look in the mirror.’
Either I go in first and deal with it, or I can have Emily, the devil, break it up.
“Sian, do you really need to be nervous?”
Emily, who was looking around, came up to me and asked me in a low voice as if she felt uncomfortable with my behavior.
“It’s going smoothly.”
“No, I think so too… … Strangely, I don’t feel like it.”
I felt strangely uneasy.
It works out.
《Goal: Reduce the number of monsters appearing at the gate.》
《Subjugation rate: 46%》
Outside, they should be handling the leaked monsters smoothly.
Considering the subjugation speed, it would be faster for us to reach the end of the dungeon.
The monsters weren’t strong, and there was plenty of potion remaining, so there was no hindrance to progress.
‘Surely, the skip route for Phase 2 was a specification that properly existed at the time of the game.’
But originally, that’s what the main character has to do.
Currently, the main character must be sweating hard outside the dungeon to stop the monsters.
Now, this situation seems to be solved well with the intervention of a third party.
‘Will fate allow that… … .’
I was also curious.
If I try to do something, will this world allow it?
If not, how will it come out?
Koo Goo Goo Palace.
“… … what? Is it an earthquake?”
It was a vibration I felt under my feet.
There was no way an earthquake would happen.
The dungeon is not affected by the crustal fluctuations outside.
that it is
“ah… … draft. Has there ever been a situation like this in the future you know?”
“What?”
“Looks like all the monsters are coming this way.”
Emily warned in a voice that lost even the playfulness.
There are so many monsters that the dungeon shakes… … .
“Could it be that you’re calling monsters from outside into the dungeon?”
A situation that would never happen in a game.
“Junior? What happened?”
“… … I must choose. Will I jump like this without looking back, or will I go forward?”
Although she didn’t understand the situation yet, Lisetta tried to look ahead without hesitation at my words.
Do you still want to say that you will move on?
“… … you know senior.”
It was about time I opened my mouth to say something just in case.
Koo Goo Goo!
The dungeon shook in earnest. It wasn’t because of the monster’s footsteps.
“draft! stomach!”
Emily’s warning.
Something falls from above. A blunt weapon made of rocks that a newly created monster hits.
“Kuk!”
To avoid it, Lisetta and I each threw our bodies and managed to escape, but at that moment I clicked my tongue.
Because I reflexively avoided it, now she and I are far apart.
Quaang!
The ceiling collapses.
As if deliberately building a wall between her and me, the collapsed rock stood between them.
‘… … Can you come this far!’
Where can I file a complaint?
“Senior Lisetta! Never go there… … .”
I shout, but it was faster to completely collapse and build up the wall.
“sh*t!”
Black flames were poured, but nothing happened.
There will be no time to excavate.
A large monster that appeared along with the collapse of the dungeon glared at me.
Besides, there were a lot of monsters coming in from the back.
Dealing with them and breaking through blocked passages is difficult.
Even if it is possible, in the meantime… … .
“draft! You have to back off!”
Hearing Emily’s warning, I gritted my teeth.
‘Is this fate?’
Are you saying that you won’t even allow someone who isn’t the main character to go to the boss room?
* * *
“draft!”
Lisetta hurriedly swung her sword while calling the name of the boy on the other side of the collapsed wall.
The two blades wrapped in a strong aura scratched the rocks one after another, but they did not budge.
It reminded me of learning that the dungeon’s landmarks were harder than most iron.
‘You have to think calmly… … .’
Lisetta looked around.
The situation beyond is unknown. I knocked and shouted, but there was no sound from beyond.
‘But can I move on?’
The dungeon disappears when you finish clearing it.
It is said that the moment the capture is completed and the reward is obtained, the monster disappears and the dungeon’s structure disappears, leaving nothing behind.
“… … We have to move on.”
Lisetta straightened her sword and moved on.
Xian had told her to never take it upon herself to rush in alone.
He seemed desperate for something, and I could guess that there must be a reason for him, so I accepted it.
‘I can’t help it because the situation is like this.’
If you hesitate, the boy will be in danger.
‘Yeah, if you can’t even do that much… … There’s no way I can regain the family’s honor.’
The dungeon was called an ordeal.
At the end of it, you have to overcome the ordeal that awaits you to be recognized as having conquered this place.
‘you can do it.’
No, you can’t if you can’t.
Grizzling her teeth at the sense of responsibility, Lisetta moved forward.
Soon a door reached its end.
A huge golden gate with many intricate patterns engraved on it.
Undoubtedly.
“… … The end of the dungeon.”
I read the passages left by the pioneers who attacked the dungeon and engraved them in my head.
‘What awaits at the end of the dungeon is a magnificent and huge golden door… … .’
‘Only those who show a feat worthy of the weight of that gate will survive.’
“… … you can do it.”
Lisetta put her hand on the door.
I was at a loss as to how to open this huge door, but it seemed like there was no need to worry.
The door opens.
As if allowed to come in.
“You can go in!”
(You fool.)
(Prove your desire and resolution here.)
I heard hallucinations, but I didn’t care.
Because I thought it might be a means of seduction.
“mirror?”
In the center of the huge room is a huge mirror.
‘treasure… … Wouldn’t it be?’
When in doubt, it is best to destroy it first.
Lisetta aimed her sword and refined her aura.
It was time to calm down and finish preparing to cut down at once.
Dooung.
The surface of the mirror is shaking.
‘As expected, that’s the monster in this dungeon?!’
The surface of the mirror undulates and something is reflected. After staring at it, Lisetta widened her eyes in surprise.
“… … me?”
