Episode 200 – Scarlet, protect your self-esteem!
There is a saying like this.
Life history Saeongjima life story.
This means that life has many good and bad fortunes, making it difficult to predict the future.
Happiness can lead to unhappiness, or unhappiness can lead to happiness.
That would be something to say about the current situation.
hahahaha!
Although we only experienced it once, we were much more advanced than before and were easily defeating the monster wave.
With that one experience, we realized that we are still weak and changed our way of responding.
Rather than going offensively, go defensively.
In the form of protecting each other and complementing each other’s weaknesses.
I thought that the term ‘telephone misfortune’ was exactly for times like this.
The third monster wave we faced without a single person retiring.
As the difficulty increased with each wave, it was definitely difficult to endure the third time.
Because the species called dragon appeared for the first time.
Once you reach the third wave, you can’t just hold on.
What if we band together and only deal with those who come close, and the dragon shoots its breath?
I and Stia will be able to survive somehow, but only then will all the others die.
It is time to change the strategy.
‘What is the best thing to do?’
I, Stia, and Dina are the only people who can deal with dragons and other monsters capable of powerful long-distance attacks on their own.
The first way is to run to just one of them and deal with them as quickly as possible.
Of course, a person who runs alone will be exposed to considerable danger. This is a method that should never be used under any circumstances.
The second is not one person, but two or three people running at once and killing him.
This will make the people who go to kill the dragon a little safer, but….
‘If the two strongest fighters escape in an instant, the danger to the comrades remaining here increases.’
This is also a method that should be avoided if possible.
Then in the end, there is only one way left.
‘We should just all run together and kill them all at once.’
We become one sphere and break through at once.
And kill the dragon.
Of course, this is also dangerous.
Instead of just dealing with monsters running forward like now, you have to jump into the middle of the enemy camp and wipe out enemies coming from all directions.
The burden on each individual will become even greater.
It will be a bit overwhelming for Scarlett and Sally.
Celiya, Celia, who is always by her side, does her best to cover up….
The problem is Scarlett.
Of course, Scarlett is growing at an incredible rate.
It’s still hard to believe that Scarlett, who was originally supposed to be in class B, has grown to the size of Chania in the two months since she entered school.
She, too, has already joined the ranks of powerful people.
However, the situation before our eyes is a level of simulation that even veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield for years cannot withstand, or rather cannot withstand.
‘Like me, I did not inherit the blessings of the stars or Han Si-woo’s talent beyond the human level.’
It’s okay even if you can’t endure it.
Since it is a virtual simulation anyway, you can just try again.
But what if Scarlett ends up blaming herself for the fact that she held her back?
So what if you end up breaking down without participating in the training?
‘Absolutely not.’
It’s not for nothing that I think of Scarlett, who still lacks combat power, as a candidate for the party that will attack the Demon Lord.
Because I see high potential in her.
She has already said and said countless times, but her potential is at a level that makes no sense.
I dare to think about it, and I think that, except for those who have been given acquired talent through the blessings of the stars, she might be the most talented.
Just as the more she strikes the iron heated by her fire, the sharper her sword blade becomes, the more she suffers, the more she grows exponentially.
‘Maybe we could become the strongest force after me, Stia, Selly, and Dina.’
So we can’t let Scarlett’s heart break.
Of course, it may just be my excessive worry.
Just as we have endured well so far, we may be able to continue to endure in the future.
However, it is also true that her self-esteem has dropped significantly as she has been training with us, who are much stronger than her.
‘Okay… ! I thought of a good way.’
If Scarlett’s self-esteem is a problem, wouldn’t it be enough to prevent her self-esteem from falling?
‘If Scarlett looks in danger, I will die first!’
If I were the first to die, Scarlett’s self-esteem wouldn’t drop much!

The plan was finally implemented.
This is because it looked like the dragon would soon shoot its breath.
We weren’t worried because the monsters in the virtual simulation didn’t understand what we were saying anyway, and we had just talked about the plan in detail.
‘At least something like the collision with Stia earlier won’t happen.’
The plan is simple.
Stia takes the lead, followed by Scarlett and Kania on both sides.
Dina and Selly in the center assist us throughout, and in the back, Jasangnam and Seria protect the two with tentacle blades coming out of their eyes.
Maintain this formation and run towards the target at full speed!
It was indeed a perfect plan, so we implemented it right away, and it actually went off without a problem.
In an instant, we arrived in front of the dragon.
I almost got stranded due to the difference in speed, but Dina’s quick response somehow made it possible.
Now all that’s left is for me and Stia to subdue the dragon as quickly as possible while the other kids watch over us.
There is only one dragon that appears in the third wave.
If you just deal with this guy, you can move on to the fourth wave without any problems.
‘Honestly, it’s impossible to clear the fourth wave in the current situation.’
Physically, I am already at my limit.
So, my goal this time was to clear at least the third wave and watch the fourth wave.
If you can get that far in just the second attempt, wouldn’t it be quite a feat?
‘If only I could catch this dragon!’
As soon as we arrived in front of the dragon, Stia and I kicked off the ground and jumped up.
At the same time, the companions spread out and surround the dragon, blocking the approach of other miscellaneous mobs.
Everyone was separated one by one, but the only exception was Celie. She lacked the strength to fight alone, so Ceria stayed by her side.
Honestly, this situation is a bit dangerous. If we are going to be separated like this, should I say that the reason we all ran together is diluted?
‘But this is right.’
A place where we can go to rescue each other at any time.
Still, it is a situation where you are somewhat isolated and have to endure it alone.
It was something that could happen in real life.
When discussing the plan earlier, we had already agreed that we would do it this time.
Of course, this is not done in practice. It’s just training, so just try it this time.
The goal given to me and Stia is to kill the dragon before even one of those children falls into danger.
To do that, it was necessary to give one’s best without considering physical strength.
Immediately spread magical power throughout the body and cast Yonginhwa.
“Keuang!”
“Do you want to keep sounding like sh*t?”
“Sorry.”
My will slightly weakened due to Stia’s scolding.
If this fails, it is because of Stia.
Wow!
The dragon saw us jumping at the same time and growled lowly.
That alone makes the earth vibrate.
A living natural disaster.
A single, complete being, and a race known to be the most complete and flawless.
Dragon.
Since it appeared in a virtual simulation, the feeling of intimidation may not be as great as in reality.
However, if it is this level of intimidation even though it is fake, what on earth would it be like in reality?
It is said that if even one dragon appears, the battlefield will turn over.
Whether it takes our side or the enemy’s side.
Because dragons are complete beings alone, they do not form groups and give power to one side.
Everyone just fights on the side they think is right.
If it is a battlefield where there is a dragon on our side, you can rest assured.
If there is an extremely low probability that there are dragons on both sides.
We can only hope and pray that the dragon on our side is stronger.
If there is a dragon on the enemy side of the battlefield, you should assume that it is dead unless a miracle occurs.
And here.
There are two living ‘miracles’.
To be exact, there are three, including Celie, who has not yet grown up.
Slam!
Stia’s Astra enveloped her entire body.
She too is trying to do her best.
She shoots out with her starlight sparks and immediately begins chopping up the dragon’s body.
Wow!
“Kaaang!”
The dragon howled as if it was in great pain.
Did you say that dragons are the wisest species in the world?
Perhaps he guessed that it would be impossible for him to defeat the two of us on his own.
The guy opens his mouth as if making a final struggle.
It seemed like he was expressing his will to take at least one more person with him.
But.
‘I waited for that.’
I also opened my mouth while facing the dragon.
From Noble mtl dot com
Breath and breath. If they collide, which side will win?
‘I win.’
No matter how strong the dragon is, to me now it is nothing more than a beast.
The heart I took is not simply the ‘heart of a dragon,’ but the ‘heart of a dragon horse,’ which is the heart of the greatest creature among them.
Moreover, I have absorbed it completely.
There was no way that just one dragon could beat me in a head-to-head match.
Kiiiiing!
Energy is condensed.
If you put your mind to it, you can fire your breath right away.
‘Now… !’
And when I finally tried to fire the breath, Dina’s breath.
“Ugh!”
Scarlett’s screams were heard.
She has already reached her limit.
‘No!’
For me, there was something more important than clearing the third wave right away.
Scarlett’s self-esteem!
So, I was so embarrassed that I canceled the cast of Breath.
Paaa!
The dragon was hit squarely by the breath fired with all its last strength and died.
