“Buck.”
He stroked the hair that was sitting on his shoulder. He guided us in the right direction without getting lost even in this dense forest.
“Let’s be alert from now on.”
“yes!”
“As you can see from the statue of the archer, there is a high possibility that the bow will fly from a distance. In addition, prepare for magic.”
“All right.”
After warning everyone, I walked a little towards the windward side. At the end of the forest, there were 5 stone statues of archers standing in different poses.
soft.
As soon as we appeared, the stone statues relaxed and took out the bows they were carrying on their shoulders.
“Yuren. There is a stone statue in front of you.”
“Stand, the statue is moving!”
The stone statues of archers had pointed ears, and were much more beautiful than the human statues at the entrance.
“Yuren. That…”
“yes. It looks like an elf.”
Rodien also quietly talked to me as if he noticed that the statues were elves.
Stone statues of elven archers took arrows from their quivers and put them on their bows. If you came a little closer, it seemed that you would shoot an arrow right away.
“Since there are five of us, each of us can take on one. Karon-nim wants you to support dangerous personnel.”
“All right.”
“Prepare for battle.”
When I called out to prepare for battle and everyone drew their swords, the space next to the statues of elven archers collapsed, and something translucent appeared.
“Something appeared next to them!”
“All four spirits are there!”
Perhaps even Lodien didn’t know that the spirit would come out, she screamed in surprise.
“The Four Great Spirits!”
“A stone statue uses a spirit!”
“All quiet.”
After calming the panicked people, he calmly opened his mouth.
“Those are stone statues with the appearance of elves, so it’s not unusual to use elemental magic. don’t panic. Besides, those spirits are low-level spirits, so it’s not difficult to reverse summon them.”
“Ah yes…”
“To attack the spirits, you must put an aura on your sword. With your aura, you can reverse-summon the spirits with a single blow, so after counter-summoning the spirits, attack the stone statue.”
“yes!”
“All right.”
After seeing everyone nod, I ran towards the stone statue on the far left.
Hwaaak!
Salamander, a lower spirit of flame, flicked his tongue and spewed out flames. The moment I tried to dodge to the left, I heard the sound of an arrow cutting through the wind.
Chan!
I bounced the arrows flying on the curved surface of the dagger in reverse.
“Are you okay?”
The power of the arrow was considerable. Rather than a stone statue, it felt like dealing with the archery and spirit art of a living elf.
support position.
Tung!
I used my brain wings and quickly approached the left side of the stone statue. The stone statue quickly shot its bow, but it was impossible to pierce the dagger’s defense.
Hwaaak.
The salamander tried to fire a fireball to defend his master, but my dagger was twice as fast.
“key…”
Salamander was stabbed by a sword-clad dagger and spewed fire before being reverse summoned.
device geek.
The embarrassed statue tried to step back, but I was much faster.
Quaang!
The stone statue’s upper body collapsed with a single punch carrying brain energy, and the core in the statue’s belly button was also pulverized.
“Buck.”
“huh?”
Shaking off his hands, he was about to look at the knights, and when he was about to look at the knights, he sat down on the collapsed stone statue. It pecked something with its beak, and its body glowed green.
“Did you absorb the energy of the spirit in the stone statue?”
The moment his body shone brightly, the energy I felt in his body rose a little, but.
“Are you also eating the energy of the spirits here?”
“Bap!”
He cried lightly and landed on my shoulder, as if asking why he was asking something obvious.
“I didn’t expect this…”
I didn’t expect that the energy of the spirits in this stone statue would make me grow up, so I felt like I had a lot of money.
Kwak! Kyakyong!
Looking sideways, no one had finished the battle yet. Everyone was fighting the stone statue with all their might.
From noble mtl dot com
Chan!
Arin let go of the arrows and avoided the wind blades of the wind spirit sylph, approaching the elven archer step by step.
bang!
Cryde was rushing at the elven archer with an aura on her greatsword, countering all attacks, and Brika, like a guardian, blocked all attacks and stabbed the water spirit with her sword.
Woo-wook Shu.
Rodien moved flexibly and evaded all attacks. She didn’t attack the spirit, but seemed to be intending to destroy the statue and send the spirit back.
“Two months.”
Since Sloth’s attack on Gairin, they have been training themselves by living in the gym all day long.
Blocking previously unblockable attacks, previously avoiding unavoidable attacks. I felt very proud of their remarkable growth.
coo goo.
As expected, the first person to deal with the elf statue was Arin. She destroyed the elven statue without a single wound. Since they couldn’t find the nucleus, they completely turned the stone statue into powder.
Then Lodien and Cryde. Brica destroyed the statues in turn. After all the statues collapsed, a translucent door appeared in front of us.
“Whew…”
“Buck.”
While everyone who faced the stone statue was taking a breather, it began to move. The guy clung to the destroyed stone statues and began to absorb the energy of the spirits.
“Buck.”
After absorbing the spirit power of the stone statue, Baekbaek’s energy was greatly increased. Rodien was watching closely with a bewildered expression, as if he had finally noticed it.
“Yuren. What happened to Pippaek?”
“I don’t know either. It seems to have absorbed the energy of the spirit in the stone statue…”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen a spirit water like this. How amazing.”
“It’s a good thing anyway.”
“That is true. It seems to be the fastest growing spirit tree I’ve ever seen.”
Rodien said while stroking the ponytail who was combing his hair.
After a short break, we opened the translucent door and went inside.
“It’s a forest again.”
“It seems deeper here.”
The place we entered seemed to be in a deeper forest than where we had been before. Grass like weeds rose up to my thighs, the trees stood endlessly, and I could even hear the sound of grasshoppers.
“It’s tight.”
“Bap!”
It moved west again along the densely packed road. After moving for almost 30 minutes, 8 elven statues appeared in a clearing with no bushes or trees.
Four of them were archers he had dealt with earlier, but the four stone statues were holding swords.
“I’ve dealt with archers, so take on one swordsman.”
“Then what are you going to do with the four archers?”
“I have to take it.”
After speaking, he immediately rushed towards the archers. Four arrows flew like beams of light from the statues of archers. As if the plan had been planned, the arrows were aiming for my arms and legs.
Don’t fall!
I used a thunderstorm to let it all go, and rushed forward. Arrows containing the attributes of fire, water, and wind flew, and the ground sat down to try to hinder my movement, but it was meaningless.
support position.
The slow attacks of the spirits were already targeting the place I passed.
Chaaang!
He fired four daggers at the same time to reverse summon the four spirits at the same time, and then destroyed the core by breaking the left leg of the stone statue in front of him.
kyaang!
The stone statue on the right deflected the arrow that was flying at my forehead, then blew a dagger and broke the core in the left chest.
Kyakyong!
Stepping back from the two remaining statues, he cut down the arrows with the daggers in both hands, and then used a howitzer to pulverize the cores of the statues.
coo goo.
It took less than 10 seconds to destroy the four stone statues of the elven archers.
“Uh…”
Charon, who was watching my battle, had his mouth wide open enough for a fly to enter, and his eyes were shaking violently as if he were seeing a ghost.
“Bap!”
It flew to the collapsed stone statues and began to absorb the power of the spirits. Looking to the side, the knights were fighting a little harder than before.
The sword and body of the statue of an elf swordsman contained spirit energy, and the swordsmanship was quite smooth and soft, so it did not seem easy to destroy.
“It was good that you brought him.”
Everyone was showing the results of training by dealing with the flexible swordsmanship of the elven swordsman in their own way. As expected, the best training to improve your skills seems to be actual combat.
“Arin grows the fastest. Amazing.”
As in the case of the archer, Arin was the first to subdue the stone statue of the swordsman. In a way, this is really strange.
Among the people here, Arin is a character who has little activity in the original work, but he is growing faster than Clyde or Brika, who have excellent characteristics and abilities.
“Is it my influence?”
If there’s a reason, it’s that I’ve spent the most time with him, but at the same time as Yuren’s life changed, it seemed that Arin’s life, who had a great relationship with him, also changed 180 degrees.
I think I should think about Arin properly.
bang!
Quaang!
“I won!”
“Oh, there was a difference of one piece of paper!”
As if it was a bet, Cryde, who had destroyed the statue first, was teasing her by tapping her on the shoulder.
Whoops.
When all the stone statues were destroyed, a round magic circle appeared in the center. Tried it right away, but it still didn’t work. Elf blood was needed to enter this place.
“Bap!”
He didn’t even look at the dense magic formation, and absorbed the spirit’s energy by clinging to the broken stone statue.
“Yuren. This gin is not an ordinary magic circle.”
Charon and Rodien were examining the magic circle, but Rodien approached me with a nod as if he knew how it was.
“It doesn’t work like this. They want the blood of their race.”
“What about tribal blood?”
“yes. look.”
As Rodien said that, he lightly cut his little finger with a dagger and dripped his own blood into the magic circle.
Whoops.
The magic circle, which had no reaction, began to glow blue and activate.
“The magic circle has been activated!”
Charon, who was looking around to activate the magic circle, stood up in surprise.
I already knew that I needed Elf blood, so I was thinking about how to get Lodien’s blood, but it was very convenient to move on my own.
“The magic circle is not permanent. There is no time.”
“Everyone this way!”
Hearing my cry, Arin, Creed, and Brika gathered around the magic circle.
“I have to go in at once.”
“All right. Count to three and enter. One, two, three!”
The moment I shouted three, everyone entered the magic circle, and at that moment, I fell into a space I had never seen before with the feeling that the sky and the ground were reversed.
Dismissed!
When I came to my senses in the sparks that blew the air, I saw a spacious, square room.
There was a stone statue of an elf in front, but it was much more detailed than the statues he had seen before. Not a stone statue, but a real elf.
“It’s not a stone statue, it feels like it’s alive.”
As Brica said. The elven statue was even alive, as if it were alive.
“Humans, and my people.”
Words came out of the statue’s mouth.
“omg!”
“Sir, the stone statue speaks?”
“I will see if you are worthy of succession.”
“Heir?”
That elf is a companion of a warrior who has mastered swords, bows, and elemental arts, and is one of the heroes who once saved the world. The heroes of the time left their legacy in this dungeon for future generations.
However, instead of just giving it away, they created this stone statue dungeon with the intention of handing down the legacy only to those who passed their test.
Hwaaak!
To the elf’s right appeared a large dragon burning in flames, and to the left a beautiful woman with closed eyes.
[Fire Drake, a higher-level flame spirit]
[Sylphid, the upper wind spirit]
Judging by the creator’s eyes, the elf stone statue summoned the higher spirits of fire and wind at the same time. I knew it, but seeing it in person is an amazing ability.
“Three, my God! Those are high-level spirits!”
Rodien was also surprised, his eyes wide open in amazement.
“Um, is that a high-level spirit?”
“Keugh. Everyone come behind me!”
Charon created a 6th circle defensive magic area protection in front of us. However, even with that, the combined attack of the two higher spirits couldn’t withstand it.
“Yuren!”
“Yuren?”
“Everyone is inside.”
I got out of the area protection and stepped forward.
“I was freaking out because I wanted to die. human.”
The elf statue tilted its head and raised its hand. Then, the arrows of the storm created by the sylphids were surrounded by fire drakes with burning flames.
“Fusion Spirit Magic. First time here.”
People behind me swallowed dry saliva and shed cold sweats at the force of the combined spirit magic, which was several times more powerful than ordinary spirit magic.
Wow!
In front of the arrows of fire and wind that burned the earth and pierced the atmosphere, he caught the ghost king in reverse.
“Sakbi.”
A thin dagger began to shine in front of the mighty force of nature that raged.
Shuaak.
The flames were scattered with one swing, and the wind died down with two swings. The arrow of Wind Flame, which seemed to destroy everything, was crushed in front of Sakbi.
Sak (削) means to cut. Sakbi’s true ability is to cut the enemy’s energy into nothingness.
“How could this…”
