Chapter 40

Hong-yeon ran away as soon as our eyes met.

‘What do you mean?’

She taunts, then spies, and now runs away?

I followed her.

‘none.’

She ran to where she was and saw that she was just an empty lot behind the gym.

‘Ah! Please track down that red-haired guy earlier.’

– Departing at 10 o’clock. It’s moving at great speed.

Let’s try this, right? I put the leaf boots under my feet, activated them, and soared high into the sky.

Whoops!

A cold wind blew. In an instant, I was at a place high enough to see the gym ceiling. I watched all the people passing by.

-Secure the shortest route, over there.

‘Goes.’

I jumped over several buildings and descended to the ground on the shield in the air that EA had spread out. It traveled hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.

– There are targets around the corner.

‘okay.’

I secretly poked my head out and looked ahead.

“……”

Hong-yeon sat in her seat with her calm face as if nothing had happened, to the point that she was embarrassed that she had even pursued her at best.

As she beckoned, her stray cat was crawling out of her crevice.

“What are you going to do now?”

When I showed up, the cat was startled and ran away. Hong Yeon-ah, she exclaimed with regret.

“Can I talk to you for a moment? President of the Student Council.”

She raised her body at my words and approached me with a smirk. It’s like a newcomer running nervously at the call of a senior in high school.

it’s all smoke

“Why do you keep stealing people? If you have business, tell me now.”

She lifted her head and met her eyes.

“…I am curious.”

Suddenly the atmosphere changed drastically.

“I heard that her unique abilities have changed this time around. It’s not well known, but it’s the first case in Korea.”

Aha. Is it because of that?

“The changed ability is a mana manipulation series. A power that uses mana to cause a wide range of abilities.”

“I did a lot of research.”

“However.”

She turned her head to avoid my gaze.

“It’s not that great this time…”

… … write like this

This keeps taunting people.

“If it’s less than expected, you can just go ahead and say it. Why do you keep stealing people?”

“Actually, I have a question for you personally.”

momentarily flinched. Deep, dark eyes stared straight at me as if they were sucking people in.

Her gaze was undoubtedly towards my right eye, which was wearing the lens.

“How did the seniors acquire that power?”

… What should this mean? do you know something

“If you’re curious about someone else’s hand.”

I continued speaking without averting her eyes.

“The first thing you do is look first. Isn’t it?”

“……”

She stared at me without saying a word, and then she finally looked away.

“Excuse me. Senior.”

At the subject that exposed her fangs, she turned around to say hello again, playing her politely her freshman.

I thought about going back, but she didn’t go far and sat quietly on a nearby bench and looked at me.

“Do you still have business left?”

She pointed with her finger.

“Swingball practice, isn’t that what you’re trying to do now?”

Her fingertips were pointed at the swinging ball convex in my pocket.

“…well, fine.”

Actually, I was a little inspired by the way he did it.

If you record the same offense you did, I’ll show you how to do it.

I put the gauntlet on my right hand and threw the ball up.

‘Are you ready? Eh.’

– Ready!

I smiled and clenched my fists.

Tuquaang!

The ball went straight ahead with a burst of blue sparks. I raised my index finger upwards.

A spear of frost that soared just above the ground slammed the ball into the sky.

And in the sky where the ball went up, there were magic circles created by me and EA precisely calculated.

The ice spears and shields that popped up from the sky in accordance with my instructions continued to bend and twist the direction of the ball. From a distance, it looks like a ball bouncing around indefinitely, like a game of bouncing a ball.

As Hong Yeon stared blankly at the scene, I slammed the ball down to finish.

Tuquaak!

The ball hit the center of the cage, creating a fierce wind.

I approached and lifted the ball.

“Well, actually, it’s accurate to measure this with a dedicated device, but the number on the ball is…”

The ball itself measured 389, 452 PHH.

Hong-yeon saw it and smiled softly.

Then he got up from the bench and strode towards him.

“Elder.”

“……Why?”

“I don’t think there will be a conclusion with this.”

she grinned

“If I ask for a duel by any chance, will you accept it?”

* * *

I returned to the tower.

Oh, a duel request?

Of course he refused. I’m still busy, but what kind of duel is a duel?

He was a bit of a nervous guy, but the first thing I had to do was solve the ordeal on the 3rd floor, the goal I was facing.

“Welcome! Senior!”

As soon as she entered the tower, Jinbora waved her hand and welcomed her.

“I’m going to challenge the boss fight tonight.”

She gave me a startled look at her declaration of mine.

“Isn’t it too urgent? Devasta…!”

“It’s fixed now. I’ve got an important hint.”

As a result, I think I did well in going to the academy. There is one thing that I realized through this class and through meeting with Yeon Hong.

In the swing test, I thought it was too fragmentary.

I just threw the ball because I had to throw it.

However, seeing what Hong Yeon did, I was able to escape from one-dimensional thinking.

As always, enlightenment does not come from grandiose contemplation, but from a moment in everyday life.

The point is that there is no need to ‘do everything at once’.

“The preparations are over.”

The hint I got was the division of the magic circle.

* * *

[Move to the save point.]

I again stepped on the portal that went up to the third floor and entered the ordeal.

When I opened my eyes and looked around, it was really there.

Even the smashed black golems, and the large skeletons still hanging on the walls.

Looking back, the blue portal at the save point has now disappeared, leaving only the green portal going out.

There seemed to be only one save opportunity.

“Then I can’t go back any further.”

-Are you really okay? top owner.

“It’s okay. I’m confident.”

In the end, the problem is Devasta.

If this skill is perfect, I am confident that I will be able to defeat any monster as a boss.

I walked towards the black portal with the boss room.

[Move to the final boss room of the trial.][Once you enter the boss room, you cannot get out.][Are you sure you want to enter the boss room?]

Whoops. Taking a deep breath, I said with determination.



“Go in.”

Once again my body was sucked into the darkness.

The most tense moment in the ordeal. I calmly waited for my sight to be restored.

woo woo woo!

After I heard a loud noise reminiscent of the sound of an engine, the surroundings began to gradually brighten from the direction I was in.

“…!”

As soon as the lights came on to the end of the darkened temple, I took a breath.

There was a huge eye attached to the end wall of the temple.

The shaking eyelids, eye wrinkles, and even the blood vessels are so realistic that it gives me goosebumps. Around the eyes, things like disgusting optic nerves were sticking together and extending out in all directions.

And above all.

slur rrr.

slur.

slur r r r r r r r.

Hundreds of tentacles of indeterminate length are fluttering.

“I’m glad I didn’t eat rice.”

– That’s terrible.

Me and EA shared their feelings and raised their mana.

In the end, you have to defeat him to get out of here.

“Any information about the monster?”

– Search completed. Its name is Elder Tentacle. Rank unknown. There are records that it was discovered in ancient ruins in the Great Desert, and it is a monster that ate and ate adventurers and merchants who were aiming for the ruins. Hundreds of tentacles are swung like a whip or stabbed like a spear.

“Okay. So, first, let’s test if the magic works?”

I immediately took out five spin guide arrows and fired them.

Irregularly rotating mana arrows were all stuck in the ender tentacle’s pupils.

But the moment it touched the soft guy’s eyes, the mana arrows just fell to the floor like a toy that hit a cushion.

– Again, it doesn’t work.

“Well.”

Apparently, the concept of immunity to magic attacks is maintained throughout this ordeal. Then again, the answer is only Devasta.

The boss monster now also detects the intruder and starts attacking.

Shuhua aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

The sight of hundreds of tentacles moving towards me was terrifying. Despite the considerable distance, the length of the tentacles also increased, trying to reach me.

I had no choice but to stop singing the Devasta and flew away.

Boom!

A tentacle from above hit the floor and bounced off. Seeing that the floor is hollow, the power is no joke.

I tried to put a shield just in case, but it broke without even saving time.

Leaning her back to avoid the attack from the left and right, she stepped on the leaf boots that EA had just finished and got out of her seat.

“ね!”

Fear of landing on the floor and taking a moment to catch a breath, this time from above, tentacles came crashing down.

Aww! 🥺🥺! 🥺🥺! 🥺🥺!

He moved his body like crazy in the rain-like attack. Only then can you cast a high-ranking magic circle like Devasta.

– Top lord! Are you okay?

“okay.”

Scratching the floor, I backed away and raised my head.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Did you say Elder Tentacle? This guy is similar to me. An attack that pushes with overwhelming quantities.

But also.

“It’s worth doing more than I thought.”

-… … Yeah?



face. head side.

As I tilted my head to the side, a tentacle that flew like lightning flashed past my cheek.

Back front and side.

He sprinted off the ground to dodge one, then stepped on the shield in the air and tumbling in the opposite direction.

Two tentacles separated the space I was in.

Boo woo woo!

As soon as I landed on the floor, I flexed my back to the point where it was excessive. Tentacles cut through the air.

Panting for breath, I turned my back to see the countless player windows floating around.

[Instant speed has risen by 1.][Instant speed has risen by 1.][Instant speed has risen by 1.]

– Top lord! how… … !

“It should be done because it is patterned.”

The hundreds of tentacles used by the Elder Tentacle are undoubtedly a threat. It’s not that the speed is slow, and it’s not that the attack is weak either.

But the pattern is constant.

swinging or stabbing.

In other words, hundreds of the same style of swinging and stabbing repeated very quickly.

If an attack can be predicted in advance, it can be avoided somehow by actively utilizing the space.

slur rrr.

slur.

slur r r r r r r r.

Boss increased the number of attacks. In total, more than thirty tentacles are attacking.

I opened the sage’s eyes. I read the trajectory of the tentacles in advance and laid out four shields in the air.

And it flew right away.

Aww! bang! bang!

He stepped on the shields in the air and jumped like crazy. Tentacles were waiting in the air, but if you stepped on the leaf boots and escaped, you could dodge dozens of tentacles at once.

front. wield.

Right side. sting.

top. sting.

My body began to dodge the attack with trance.

This was a really special experience.

The more the tentacles threatened me, the higher my reflex level and the more experience I gained. The next attack that follows is much easier to avoid.

As such crises and experiences piled up, my movements were gradually disappearing.

[Instant speed has risen by 1.][Instant speed has risen by 1.][Instant speed has risen by 1.][Instant speed has risen by 1.][You have acquired the predictive evasion trait.]

‘finally!’

I finally got my first physical-type trait.

Having entered the ordeal, I will definitely pull out the mulberry and go until the boss battle.
