24. Trial of Regular Champions (7)
The ice spear inserted into the floor was like a structure extending toward the direction Lucia flew from.
Lucia fell as if digging through the ice spears, swinging her ax vigorously and hitting the ice.
– Kang! Cadeuk!
Using the repelling force of hitting the ice with her axe, she adjusted her direction and position little by little in the air.
– Kagak!
It was dazzling as if they were dancing with twin axes in the air.
‘At this point… . uh?’
The moment to check the trajectory again.
Following the movement of the leader who waved his fingers, the skeleton flew towards her.
‘I can’t avoid this… !’
There were no nearby structures to avoid by changing the trajectory.
If you hit that, you’ll fall.
Even if we counterattack, the trajectory will be twisted by that repulsive force.
Either way, it was a one-shot that the plan collapsed.
that confusing moment.
An incomplete shield spread in the direction of the flying skeleton.
‘Helena?’
With the help of the rosary Iris made, it was a long-distance protection that I gradually got used to.
Although still incomplete.
-thud!
It was enough to protect Lucia from the skeletons.
Lucia remained in orbit without any shock.
Swallowing gratitude in my heart, I focused on falling again.
As the altitude decreased, the number of sharp ice spears increased, and she narrowly avoided them.
‘Slightly short.’
It was very slightly far from the ice spear he was aiming for.
She immediately stretched out her other arm.
We will use the function that automatically becomes a removable garment.
When I fired the gauntlet, the repelling force pushed my body in the air.
-widely!
It landed narrowly on top of the ice spear that stretched straight towards the leader.

Just before landing, I confirmed that Vivian and Helena, who had come down to the ground, were attracting the attention of the enemy.
‘I have to do it quickly.’
Sliding on the ice spear pierced in an oblique line.
At the far end of the slanted slope, I saw a skeleton leader lying down holding a magic stone.
Because it is a skeleton, it has no expression.
However, is it an illusion that I feel that I am perplexed?
– Chii Ik!
The head flutters wildly and glides.
In that state, she took out her halberd and aimed it at a high place like a javelin.
‘About this.’
threw
– Shuuk!
Receiving the power of inertia, the Halberd flew high.
By the time the leader saw her slipping, he slowly raised his hand and pushed her away.
Lucia leaped vigorously.
Spinning once in the air, she narrowly escaped the leader’s hand.
The destination of her falling trajectory is the center of the skeleton leader’s forehead.
“Huh-!”
Holding her breath, she slammed the ax down with all her might just before she fell.
– Kwadeuk!
A hatchet was lodged in the forehead.
Without stopping, Lucia drew her sword and slashed the back of the ax.
– Knock! Knock! Knock!
The ax penetrated the skull, but the leader twitched his hand as if he hadn’t died yet.
“Isn’t this here? Where are you? Another weakness… .”
-widely! Tadak!
The leader’s trembling fingers caressed the air.
Then, the skeletons that inevitably had to climb on top of the wall rose and fell toward Lucia.
-bang! Wow!
Lucia quickly activated the artifact obtained from the Elven Forest.
That which makes the body light as the wind blows.
The skeleton fell headlong and was crushed in all directions where it was avoided by rolling its body like the wind.
But those too will soon take shape.
‘There must be a weakness… .’
Of course, two skeletons squeezed through a crack in the ice wall.
Lucia calmly threw a dagger and also threw a throwing dagger.
The dagger pierced the head of one, and the dagger pierced both knee joints of the other skeleton.
Meanwhile, Vivian and Helena’s cries were heard from outside.
-Miss Vivian! back!
-it’s okay! There are clouds!
– It seems too driven! You have to move through one side!
-I see! Please cover me!
It was Lucia who came to finish off the Skeleton leader.
But she doesn’t think only herself is important.
Vivian and Helena.
It’s an impossible operation if either of them can’t fully play their part.
If Helena’s control of counter-elasticity was poor, she would have failed from the leaping stage.
If Vivian didn’t have enough firepower, she might not have been able to break down the cylinder.
Everyone was the core and center, and no one’s role was unimportant.
‘calm down. All are important, but the finishing touches me. I have to finish it properly. Another weakness… . ah!’
Lucia’s gaze reached the leader’s hand.
To be precise, the magic stone heard there.
‘And in the other hand… .’

Just as she was about to run, the hand on the other side of the leader approached as if to strike Lucia down.
“Wow!”
I raised my shield and blocked it.
The weight of the huge bones weighed down on his body, but the timing was bad.
Not to Lucy, but to the leader.
-Bung-Bung-Bung… . bang!
Something fell through the air, and the weight that weighed down Lucia weakened.
Without hesitation, she pushed the bones of her hand aside as if throwing a shield.
The halberd he threw earlier had crashed and cut off the leader’s wrist.
‘I didn’t even count this. It’s good.’
Lucia grabbed the halberd and ran.
Towards the hand of the skeleton leader holding the magic stone.
“Huh-!”
Before the giant hand could move and dodge, Lucia struck her wrist first.
The heavy halberd shattered the wrist bones.
As if power was released, her fingers let go of the magic stone, and Lucia quickly threw herself and held the magic stone in her arms.
“Huh!”
You mustn’t stop yet.
Aiming for magic stones might not be the answer.
Or, maybe there are two correct answers.
Lucia held the magic stone and held the sword in her other hand, and ran again.
towards the other hand with the gold ring on it.
The hand that was separated from the body was left unattended.
-bang!
Lucia’s sword attack was allowed without resistance.
It didn’t break all at once.
Lucia struck the ring several times with one hand.
-bang! bang! Cadeuk!
Finally, the ring broke into large pieces.
“Whoa, whoa… .”

Just in case, Lucia aimed at the leader here and there.
‘Is this the end? If it’s not the end, what’s left?’
Shaking off the sweat from his head, he stared at the skeleton leader.
‘Please no more… .’
The moment you so longed for.
– Paseu, Passut… .
There was a sound of something breaking.
Cracks were occurring in the Skeleton Leader’s bones.
-Pass, Pasasak!
After being crushed, it eventually sat down on the floor and soon became dust and scattered.
“Ha, ha, ha… . I did it… !”
“Lucia-!”
“Miss Lucia!”
The walls came crashing down with the shouts of his comrades.
Beyond, Vivian and Helena, crying and laughing, were running with all their might.
“sister-! Helena!”
Lucia also threw down her sword and ran towards them.
The three of them met as if they were colliding in the middle, hugging each other and running around.
The Skeleton Legion, which could not be counted, was crumbling and turning into dust like its leader.
At the center, Ian’s warriors were laughing and crying.
I was so happy, but I kept crying without knowing why.
It was the first time.
Such a difficult and dangerous enemy.
Maybe, I didn’t even know it would fail.
The anxiety reared its head incessantly throughout the fight, but they endured it.
Relying on each other and relying on Ian’s trust in them.
“really! You did a great job!”
“Everyone is amazing… !”
“Thank you for trusting me and following me!”
A yellow magic stone from a C-class dungeon shone in Lucia’s arms.
Ian Party passed the official exam.
*
The moment Lucia takes the magic stone and breaks the ring.
The hall, which had been watching the image mirror, became quiet as if cold water had been poured on it.
And when I finally saw the skeleton leader’s body disintegrate.
“aaah-!”
An earth-shaking roar erupted.
Ian let out a laugh.
‘I expected about a day until clearing… . what a day It’s finished in less than half a day.’
He was ashamed of what he was worried about.
“… hey Is this possible… .”
Marie murmured in admiration.
“Wow… .”
The warriors who came to watch, including Rachel, were admiring rather than cheering.
The fruits on the screen embraced each other and jumped around.
Eventually, the portal closed, announcing that the official test had completely ended.
‘You’ve worked hard. For now, I’ll give you some free time so you can rest in peace.’
While Ian thought so, the three women on the screen stood tall.
They seemed to be talking about something, and then suddenly started running.
‘what?’
People roared and paid no attention to their actions as they enjoyed themselves more than the warriors.
Only Ian watched what they were doing.
They shot out of the hole they came in and kept running.
It was to climb the route I had searched so far in reverse.
It wasn’t until then that people noticed that the fruits were a bit odd.
‘Are you trying to leave the dungeon? Why are you in such a hurry… .’
Because they went straight the way they came, they left the dungeon very quickly.
The entrance to the dungeon was visible behind them on the screen.
After coming out, they looked around, checked somewhere, and ran again.
Ian’s gaze returned from the video mirror to the dungeon entrance.
The three fruits were running wildly.
“Why all of a sudden… .”
cut people’s shouts
“Ian Niyim-!”
Helena’s cry was heard.
“what… . uh, uh! for a moment!”
Helena rushed in and threw herself at Ian as if about to run into him.
I don’t think I should avoid it, so Ian put a lot of strength into his body and accepted her.
Even so, I fell backwards.
“Wook!”
“Ian! thank you! thank you ah… !”
Helena cried out with joy, even though she was crying.
She hugged Ian as if she would break her waist, and even rubbed her face in her arms.
Vivian and Lucia, who ran after them, hugged Ian as if throwing themselves.
“for a moment… . 100 million!”
They were both crying and laughing.
“Thank you… . Ian, really, really… .”
Vivian muttered in tears, and instead of saying anything, Lucia just held Ian’s arm tightly.
Ian seemed to understand the feelings of the three of them, so he said it as if to comfort him.
“You worked hard.”
Kati, the cat, also came over and sat on Ian’s chest.
“Everyone did a great job! I was all proud!”
Mercy shouted vigorously in her pocket.
Cheers and applause from the onlookers generously poured out towards Ian’s warriors.
They deserved praise.
Hearing this, Ian smiled lightly.
It’s been a long time since I laughed like that.
