Episode 103
32. Dungeon Defense (2)
smart.
I knocked on the door, but there was no feeling of popularity inside.
“Did you go there again…?”
Camilla’s eyebrows furrowed. This is because Sanwoo’s behavior has been a bit strange lately.
Summer vacation is over, and the second semester of Nakwon School has begun.
Last semester, the building where the intermediate and advanced classes were taught was different.
Since this semester, Camilla was assigned to the special class and Sanwoo was assigned to the advanced class, so the building itself was the same.
So, I went to the upper class classroom with the intention of leaving school together.
– Sanwoo said he had an important appointment, so he went first? It looked very urgent.
Only George, who had been promoted to the advanced class with Sanwoo, remained.
In fact, up until this point, it was in a state of disrepair. Baek San-woo must be a very busy person.
Even at the undergraduate level, Professor Kehlin, who is in charge of the second year, and the dean were often called.
He also often had conversations with the professors in charge of the special class.
And after graduation, there were times when I practiced with myself.
He would go to learn alchemy from Illyana or shoot through the mountains to gather food for the Lioner himself.
She says it’s annoying every time, but to be honest, Camila never had a student who lived a healthy life like Baek San Woo.
But lately.
There was only one part of his journey that she couldn’t understand.
Over the course of several days, the mountain cows roamed in and out of caves located in the remote forests of the East Terrier.
I didn’t plan on going separately.
I just found it by accident on my way back from a meeting I had attended to make friends with the members of the express class.
At first, the playfulness was activated and I tried to surprise them.
As the mountain cows gradually moved into the remote forest, Camilla felt something foreign.
And finally.
Only after witnessing the scene entering the mysterious crypt.
She realized that Sanwoo was doing ‘something’ in that crypt that he couldn’t tell others.
‘Even though I knew it until now, I just looked at it. I’ll have to ask for sure.’
Sanwoo is not a child.
There must be a reason why he goes into a mysterious crypt every day and why he doesn’t say a word about it.
But every night, he staggered, his face turned yellow, and he got tired of pretending not to come back.
‘Sanwoo is always selfish. I’ll do whatever I want this time.’
She went back to her room, quickly grabbed her gear and ran towards the place in question.
* * *
“Be careful, old man.”
“Shhh. I know. You guys are as vigilant as possible.”
A crypt nestled in the secluded forest of the East Terrier.
The six personnel, including Aidan, lined up in a row and slowly entered the crypt.
Typhne, a double-sword warrior, was in the lead, followed by Ryan with a shield and sword.
A large formation that is very similar to when the mystery club joined last time.
However, unlike them, who had no information, Aidan heard about the terrain and the monsters that appeared to some extent by Jin, who had asked for help.
In addition, I personally went to Bernax senior and listened to some tips needed to fight the ghost knight.
A connection from the last triad.
At that time, I was unfortunately defeated, but thanks to that, I had a pretty close relationship with Bernax-senpai.
– As the ghost knight is an undead, it is vulnerable to fire attribute, but it cannot be captured if you act like you are dealing with a normal monster.
– Rather than pouring out high-fire magic recklessly, focus on targeting your weaknesses accurately. If you do that, you’ll be able to do enough damage with low-grade magic like fireballs and firespears.
‘Fight in a wide place, not a narrow place, and even if a Nightmare appears, I told you to deal with the main body first.’
Continue to reflect on Bernax’s teachings. He’s biting his nails with an anxious expression.
“Are you okay? I think you’re too nervous.”
Karin, who was standing next to him, asked with worried eyes.
It was unavoidable.
No matter how much Tristone’s successor, it’s the first high-level monster you face after entering Paradise School.
And Aidan wasn’t the only one to be in danger.
The lives of the victims caught by the ghost knight and the members who believed in him and accompanied him are also at stake in this expedition.
What is that pressure?
It was bigger than I thought.
‘How would you act in a situation like this, Mr. Sanwoo?’
In fact, before meeting Bernax, Aidan first found Sanwoo Baek.
Because he was the hero’s guide, he firmly believed that he would show the proper path again this time.
However, contrary to expectations, Baeksanwoo never showed up.
‘perhaps… … This time, it may mean that I must achieve it with my own strength.’
When the party leader himself shakes, the whole party stumbles.
Since everyone’s lives are at stake and there have already been victims, we can’t help but whine forever under the pressure that weighs on us.
So Aidan smiled lightly at Karin.
“yes I’m fine.”
He even ended his speech inwardly.
‘If it was a hero’s guide, he would have said so.’
Aidan and his party continued to move forward.
How many stairs did you go down?
They were finally able to reach the end of the deep crypt, the stone gate.
No words were needed.
Typhne and Ryan, who were standing in the front, exchanged glances, opened the stone door and ran inside.
“Hey hey!!!”
But beyond the door, instead of monsters, there were only scattered mana stones.
They broke in with a loud battle cry, but Tiphne scratched her head as the steam cooled down.
“What?”
“I think it was a place where an isolated club engaged in a battle. It seems that monsters were guarding the entrance from the beginning.”
Beltane fixed the monocle and looked at the traces. As it was said, the manastones were spread out in a fan shape based on the entrance.
“Even in a completely surrounded state, we made a pretty good save, but was it destroyed at the same time as the ghost knight appeared?”
A strong enemy that even Ryan, who is cold-hearted in everything he does, sticks out his tongue.
“It’s okay. We can do it. If we don’t come back within an hour anyway, you told me to ask outside for help, right?”
The most important purpose of this quest is not to eliminate the ghost knight, but to rescue the abducted personnel safely.
In other words, Aidan was planning to make time against the Ghost Knight while the other members rescued people.
“Seniors, please take good care of me.”
“Finally, I’m going to take a look at that brilliant skill.”
When Tiffne snorted, the monsters that responded to the sound began to wander around one by one.
“Turn it off…”
Ghoul rotten on zombies.
“Okay, this is what happened, let’s have fun!!!”
Tiffne’s brown hair fluttered in the air.
With her twin swords, she flies into the darkness.
The monsters gathered in front of me are just corpses. He did not wear armor, nor did he have a special upper.
Typhne’s sword wobbles in free lines, and the zombie’s body, greedy for her life, is literally crushed.
Push! Clap!
“Kahaha-!!”
Tiffne, a battle buff. Later, she was called Tuhee.
The undead, whose only thing was to rot and moan, was nothing more than a moving piece of meat in front of her sword strike.
As she slaughtered every enemy she encountered, she couldn’t look around.
“…!?”
It fell down with the ground suddenly turned off.
“Tiffne!!!! Damn it!!”
Ryan, who had been following her all along, quickly approached her, revealing a pit about the size of a man.
It was a trap.
For a moment, Ryan felt dizzy. Dungeon traps were originally created to kill humans.
It’s a dungeon managed by the academy. Those traps were identified early on.
This was a closed dungeon. Since there has been no human entry for at least hundreds of years, there is no way that traps have been cleared or identified.
“Turn it off.”
He swept away the approaching zombie with his shield, and beheaded himself.
“Tiff! Are you okay!!”
“Aww…”
When I lifted the lamp that was hanging from my arm, sharp stakes were erected around Tiffne, who had hit her buttocks.
Fortunately, it was the fact that she appeared to be unharmed.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Ryan delivered the hand signal that he was safe to Aidan, who had rushed out.
“I almost died. It’s a mature tree, damn it. Be brutal.”
When Tiffne swept the floor with one hand, sawdust fell.
“You’re only lucky once. This isn’t the only trap. Be careful going forward.”
“okay okay!”
Typhne grabbed Ryan’s hand and climbed up the pit.
When I came up, the enemies in the area were all sorted out by Aidan and Beltane’s magic.
As long as there were only undead and ghost-type monsters.
There was no way they could compete with the two powerful destruction wizards.
“That’s why I entered first.”
“Your lives are not many.”
When Typhne, whose body is covered with sawdust, grumbles and says, Ryan shakes his head and scolds him.
“Tiffne-senpai, are you okay?”
“Uh, it’s okay. It’s okay!”
Aidan glanced at her. It was the usual Tiffne.
However, once the existence of the trap has been confirmed, there is no way to relax the tension even more.
“Senior, you can’t leave the ranks. You understand?”
Aidan once again called attention to Typhne, who was making sudden moves.
“Okay, okay. You just don’t need to get caught in a trap, right?”
She nodded her head and seemed to agree.
But.
It didn’t take long for Aidan to realize once more that her consent was really meaningless.
Defeating all the monsters that were standing at the entrance of the village, and moving secretly.
“Here! Here!! Is there anything like a restaurant?”
Tiffne pointed her finger at a building that was all about to collapse.
“Senior, don’t just go in!”
“It’s like this, but it’s possible that a ghost knight might be hiding there, right?
Despite Aidan’s perseverance, she opened the door to the house that was all crumbling down.
The rope attached to the floor was activated and Typhne soared into the air.
I don’t know who installed it, but it was a very malicious trap.
Ryan, who was looking at the scene, put one hand on his forehead and chin.
The moment Aidan sighed and tried to free her from hanging upside down.
“Kyaah!!!”
Lieutenant Undead Wu priest runs out screaming.
Apparently, the moment the trap was activated, he was stimulated by Typhne’s voice.
A pale tired expression, the madness with black tear marks around her eyes.
“Mo, everyone is ready for battle!!!”
Aidan screamed like a squeeze.
* * *
“Wow, Tiffne is really smart.”
Behind the engineering film, watch a brunette woman being attacked by a crying bride hanging in the air.
He couldn’t help but laugh out loud. It’s not like I’ve seen it once or twice.
‘Until now, I thought it was an AI problem, but was it just a character sculpted like that?’
Tiffne was also famous as an NPC with reckless and stupid movements in this work.
However, this friend also had the best performance among the companions available at the beginning.
Also, the conditions for making it as a companion were very simple, so I had no choice but to use it to cry and eat mustard.
‘I didn’t even take it with me after it was a bit stagnant… … .’
Aidan hastily controls the personnel.
Typhne hanging upside down screaming, and Beltane failing to cast magic in the meantime.
Even Robin, frightened by the monsters, runs away.
It was Joe, the main character comparable to Suicide Squad.
When I tried to imagine Aidan’s heart, who was now shedding tears of blood, the bitter taste came up.
I’m sorry, Aidan.
Blame you for bringing Tiffne… … .
