Academy Silver Gatekeeper - Chapter 143



143 – You and I Both Go to Work on the Weekend – 2

“Mr. Hana! Barrier on the side!”

“Yes, Judge! Ice Wall!”

“Dasom always takes care of herself. If Dasom gets hurt, we’ll be in real trouble!”

“I understand!”

“Suhyeon. You’re stuck here next to two people. “Understand, right?”

Originally, the plan was to put Soohyun in front and let me watch them.

After all, the people who need to grow in this dungeon are these friends, not me.

That’s why I volunteered for Grade B, which has a certain level of difficulty.

But things were different now. Even though it is different, it is completely different.

“How is it. Is it worth holding on?!”

“This is much better than getting hit by the examiner!”

Kwakwakwak!—

Lee Hyeon-woo smiles as he swats away the countless claws pouring down from beyond the fog.

Even if you make the slightest mistake, a long blood line will be drawn, but regardless, you have an incredibly strong heart.

At the same time, it’s a good thing. If the front line is scared, that fear is contagious to the back line.

Wow! Hehe!―

“Examiner. It seems like this keeps coming, what should I do?”

“For now, just keep moving! If you stay still because you can’t check your visibility, you’ll be completely surrounded! Mr. Hana! Whenever you have enough magic power, check the surrounding terrain with flash magic! No need to be greedy! All it takes is for Hyunwoo to look around the area!”

“All right! Light!”

A pure white flash emitted from Hana Kang’s hand briefly illuminates the fog.

Thanks to this, the field of view that had been completely blocked became slightly wider.

And it was confirmed that beyond that there was a hill of some height.

“Student Hyunwoo Lee! Hills ahead! If you go to higher ground, there will be less fog and the attacks will be limited! “I’ll look at the sides, so just make sure to drill in the front!”

“Has confirmed! Then I’ll speed up a bit, so everyone should follow along! Hyaaa!!”

Lee Hyeon-woo moves forward, swinging his sword in all directions as if turning a windmill.

Before the distance widened further, we also diligently increased our speed and narrowed the distance.

Hehe!―

Crying sounds are heard again from beyond the fog.

The numbers are getting bigger. If you are late, you will be completely surrounded.

There is so much visibility blocked by this damn fog.

“Everybody run for the hill!”

“Examiner!”

“Don’t worry about this, hurry!”

Now that it’s like this, it’s better to not let them approach at all.

He sent Kang Ha-na, Yu Da-som, and Su-hyeon upward and then pulled the sword inward.

Immediately after, I felt a light breeze lingering on my sword body, so I fired forward without hesitation.

Quaguagua—

Kieng! Wow!—

Since you can’t see it, it’s difficult to inflict fatal wounds. Just tying your feet is enough.

As soon as their presence got farther away, I immediately turned around and caught up with the group that had gone up ahead.

‘Fuck. How on earth did it get so twisted?’

Biting my lip, I recalled the situation 30 minutes ago.

“Here it is.”

The dispatcher in charge of guiding you to the entrance gestures.

There, a dungeon guarded by several people with special abilities was waiting for us.

As a bonus, in addition to that dungeon, there are several other dungeons nearby.

“It looks like this is the direwolf dungeon.”

“Yes. That, Kang Hana.”

The dispatcher points to Hana Kang and continues her story.

“Please be careful. There are many reports that direwolves are not the same after the monster cataclysm. Originally, it was very easy to catch only the first elites that rushed at you, but now the level of almost all of them has risen to the level of the boss’s bodyguard.”

As a member of the Magic Tower Clan, he seems to be worried about the clan master’s daughter.

No matter how well you play at the Academy, you are still a B grade even if you play well outside.

Although this dungeon is at that B-grade level, it is unclear whether it will be the same this time.

From the dispatcher’s perspective, it seemed like he couldn’t shake off his anxiety.

“Not long ago, we managed to complete the subjugation with members of another clan suffering injuries. According to what they said at the time, it would be difficult to do it with just a small number of B-class personnel.”

The dispatcher who said this takes a quick look at us.

Unlike Kang Hana, who is rated B, the rest are still below that level.

Not only Lee Hyun-woo and Su-hyeon, but even Yu Da-som, who is at a gold level.

Of course, gold may have a level up to grade B, but it is not guaranteed.

“Well, I feel relieved because I have a reliable ally.”

The dispatcher made eye contact with me and smiled brightly.

If it weren’t for me, I probably would have told you to avoid this dungeon.

“I said it was Baek Seo-jin. It is an honor to meet you.”

“Up to glory. It feels burdensome for no reason.”

“Because he’s too famous to say that. In particular, the clan master even left a message asking us to be careful. To be honest, I feel more burdened by Baek Seo-jin than by Kang Ha-na.”

All I asked for was a moderately difficult dungeon.

What did this guy say that made you understand that he was asking you to pay attention?

“Dungeon response is increasing.”

“I have a lot of stories I want to share, but I guess I’ll have to stop here for now. Please be kind to me. Seojin Baek. These days, the probability of injuries to people with special abilities has increased exponentially. “I have a lot of worries here and there.”

“All right. “I will come out in good health, so don’t worry.”

Shaaa—

As soon as we finished greeting, the entrance to the other side of the dungeon opened.

In this state, if you don’t subdue it in time, monsters will pour out.

In the early days of Gate’s appearance, it was said that the entire country was devastated because of it.

This is why the government is pushing the clans to the point of coercion in clearing dungeons.

I’m already going crazy with a gate that ignores inhibitors and monsters whose level has increased significantly.

In the meantime, if the dungeon is destroyed, it will literally be the second coming of ‘disaster’.

“Alright, team members. Let’s go to work!”

Lee Hyeon-woo, who was in front, shouted cheerfully and was the first to disappear into the dungeon.

It doesn’t seem unfair to work on weekends. Anyway, it’s not normal.

*

I didn’t know at the time. In fact, Lee Hyun-woo wasn’t the only one who wasn’t normal.

I came in after hearing that it was just an ordinary dungeon with nothing special about it.

What greeted us as soon as we arrived was a fog that made it impossible to see an inch ahead.

As soon as I saw it, I knew something was wrong.

Because nowhere in the dispatcher’s words did it say to be careful of the fog.

As soon as I thought about it, two possibilities came to mind.

From noble mtl dot com

One, the dispatcher lied to us. He gave incorrect information.

And the other thing is that the dungeon environment is now changing randomly.

“Mr. Hana. That dispatcher is someone you can trust, right?”

“Yes. “He has been under my father for a very long time.”

Kang In-Beom is the person who sees people accurately. And the same goes for Kang Hana.

If there was nothing wrong in the eyes of the two people, then he would not be a traitor.

If so, the possibilities are ultimately narrowed down to one.

Clearly, the dungeon, which was fine until not long ago, has changed today.

‘No luck, damn it. Why does it have to be today?’

But after a while, I realized it was just excitement.

I didn’t mean to say I was unlucky at the time. Damn it.

“Hey, I don’t think this is a direwolf?!”

As Judasom said, the monster that started attacking from beyond the fog was not a direwolf.

Although the shape was blurry, it looked completely different from a wolf.

And soon, a sound similar to Kang Ha-na’s scream flew into my ears.

“Fog Lake! Why is this here?”

Shuak!—

Yikes. I almost got injured before Hyunwoo Lee.

Even though he is a judge in name, he still can’t raise his head if he gets hurt faster than someone in bronze.

‘You damn cats!’

Swing the sword beyond the fog where nothing can be seen.

When you look at it visually, nothing comes in, just a hazy fog.

However, as the sword falls down, a scream of ‘Keeng!’ Is heard from inside.

It didn’t break in two, but it still felt like it was being cut.

He will probably be completely eliminated from the front lines and collapse from blood loss while wandering around the rear.

“Go behind these! Su-hyun! Prepare!”

“Okay!”

At Lee Hyun-woo’s shout, Su-hyeon stabs his sword straight behind him like water.

Then, with a mournful sound of ‘Kuh-huung!’, Its body comes out.

Fog Lake. Although it has tiger in its name, it is much smaller than a real tiger.

However, the danger is too lethal for its size, so it is a monster with a nickname.

As the name suggests, they attack from beyond the fog while hiding their true bodies.

In addition, its front legs are very long, so it raises its arm and swings its claws like a human.

Otherwise, they snatch it up, drag it across the fog, and eat it in an instant.

The Mist Lake is not of a higher grade than the Direwolf. They are also B grade.

The problem is that when I came to this dungeon, there was no mention of the Mist Lake appearing.

Since I’ve only dealt with direwolves so far, I was only focusing on that.

Not even 5 minutes after entering the dungeon, a fog suddenly formed and this happened.

I’m very embarrassed right now, but I wonder if other people are shocked.

Of course, if you do your best here, conquering the dungeon is not that difficult.

But why are you here now? This is to improve the practical skills of team members.

In addition, there is also something to make cooperative play more smooth.

‘That’s probably why the gatekeeper trait doesn’t activate.’

Nowadays, it is more important to roll than to carry a bus with team members.

The characteristics of the gatekeeper and the third eye seemed to recognize it that way.

“Ice Spear!”

“Junior! “Go back a little bit!”

“Please give me an empty seat, Suhyeon!”

And my teammates are also engaging in battle as if they have read my thoughts.

The cooperation ability shown during the last Academy Gate incident has improved.

When Lee Hyeon-woo gets injured, Yu Da-som immediately approaches and Su-hyeon briefly fills in the empty spot.

Meanwhile, Kang Hana uses powerful range magic to restrict access and take time.

In this way, Lee Hyeon-woo returns to the front line and the formation returns to its original state.

‘Not bad. On the contrary, this is very good.’

Yes, I think I can feel at ease about the next ordeal at this level.

Kugugu!—

Beyond the fog, something was approaching that gave a more intimidating aura than the ordinary Fog Lake.
