Became the Academy’s Munchkin Power Priest - Chapter 49
49 – There is no retreat
After finishing the shield knight, I headed towards the place where the red light was fired.
While I was running, a red light was fired once again. Now the position of the flag could be checked every minute.
As we got closer to the place where the red light was fired, it became strangely quiet. Enemies appeared ahead. The enemy was two in total.
I looked at them some more. The man holding the flag stood with a crossbow, and the man standing next to him was wearing a knuckle.
They seemed to be in a cooperative relationship, judging from the fact that they didn’t fight each other. I felt a presence around me, but I decided to deal with the two people with the flag first.
Kwaaak!
As soon as I tried to move my body, an arrow flew and stuck into a tree. The gunner carrying the flag on his back glared at me with fierce eyes.
Paaang!
The moment I tried to draw the arrow, it exploded. There were no sparks, but a strong shockwave pushed me away.
The next arrow came flying at me with a creepy sound. Instinctively, I almost snatched the arrow, but I remembered the explosion and hit it with a barbell. An arrow stuck in the dirt floor caused an explosion this time as well.
A thick layer of dust rose. I spurred the ground and charged the shooter who had captured the flag.
“Recon!”
Called the archer with the crossbow.
I closed the distance and swung the barbell. The shooter hurriedly stepped back, and Munch, wearing knuckles, stood in front of me.
Water dripped from Munch’s hand.
Booooong.
I swung a barbell at Munch who was blocking my way.
Munch drew circles with his hands and created a water barrier.
Chwaaagh!
The power of the barbell that hit the water barrier decreased. He couldn’t completely block it, but Munch let go of Babel’s attack, which had lost its power, with his hand.
As expected of those who passed the preliminary round, they made full use of various techniques. The gunner behind him fired an arrow without stopping.
Quang!
An arrow thrown backward caused a shockwave. I lost my balance and was pushed forward.
Chaw ah!
Munch didn’t miss my chance and hit me hard in the stomach.
Munk’s attack was quite menacing. He used the water attribute, and the sharpened water split my skin with a blow.
“Heh heh, you are strong. It’s fun.”
“Will you get hurt if you fight with us?”
“I am not hurt.”
My weapon wasn’t just a barbell. I used divine power to restore the bleeding stomach.
“What is it, I cut it deeply, but it recovers quickly.”
The arrow that caused the shock wave was annoying. The shockwave didn’t do much direct damage to me, but it was effective in throwing me off balance.
It also seemed like the shooter could trigger an explosion at any timing he wanted.
Of course, it wasn’t difficult to deal with. The shock wave affected not only me, but also Munch, the shooter’s partner.
So all you have to do is stick to Munch so he doesn’t explode.
I threw the barbell at the shooter first.
Kwaaang!
Babel flew to the shooter at breakneck speed. The shooter barely escaped the barbell. I couldn’t get it right, but my goal from the beginning was Munch.
As soon as Babel hit the ground, it rushed at Munch.
“You want to fist fight with me? You make a big mistake.”
Munch smiled and took a pose.
I closed the distance and lightly punched him in the face. There was no intent to attack. It was just to block the sight, to measure the distance, and to get on one’s nerves.
As if Munch was laughing, he took my attack.
“This shouldn’t be enough. Wasn’t it a mistake to throw the cane? What…. It was a threat, but I think I avoided it.”
The shooter straightened up and pointed the crossbow at me. Of course he couldn’t shoot. Since Munch and I are attached, we cannot shoot carelessly.
It must have been complicated in my head.
I fired a deep attack. Munch lowered his head to avoid my attack.
Munch didn’t just defend. He also punched me. The moment he dug deep, I ducked and dodged the attack.
After clinging to Munch, he grabbed one of his legs. Attached the head and ears to the side of his body. I put my legs on the ground and turned my center of gravity in the opposite direction.
Munch fell without even using his strength.
My goal was not Munch. He was a shooter with a complicated mind. He could have aimed for the fallen Munch, too, but he was solid. And if he gets on his body and blows a pounding, he is exposed to the archer’s crossbow.
As soon as Munch fell, I ran to the shooter. The shooter, who stood there blankly for a moment, hurriedly raised his crossbow.
It’s late.
He can’t dodge my attacks.
His crossbow fired, but my fist was already flying towards his chin.
My fist hit his chin before the archer could unleash his arrow.
Bahah!
The shooter’s head shakes.
I didn’t finish the attack. He lifted his foot and kicked him in the stomach. The shooter hit a tree behind him and passed out.
I grabbed the flag behind my back. The flag glowed red, and red light shot into the sky.
Munch approached and tried to snatch the flag, but when he lifted it above his head, he couldn’t reach it.
Munch jumped high with a distorted face. He must have been deeply moved by the capture of the flag.
Quaak!
I grabbed the jumped Munch by the neck and tightened it.
“Keah heh heh heh!”
“This is mine.”
It was the voice of another woman.
She leaped from the tree and snatched the flag I had hoisted over her head.
Puuuong!
Something exploded in my head and a cloud of smoke obscured my vision. It was a smoke bomb.
First of all, I choked Munch by the neck and passed out. After confirming that his struggle was asleep, he was immediately summoned when he threw it on the floor.
“Hmm…. You’re bothering me.”
I picked up my cane. I saw the figure of an assassin who threw a smoke grenade and ran away.
Quaaang!
“Kyaaa!”
A barbell grazed the woman’s thigh as the assassin ran away. Even if she wasn’t fatally wounded, she would be in pain.

I grabbed the legs of the fallen assassin and stood up. She threw smoke grenades around her body.
“aaagh!”
Screams were heard through the smoke screen. It was the same scream as before. Simply put, a new enemy has appeared.
I threw myself into the smoke to avoid missing. Clouds of smoke were blown by the wind and faded.
I couldn’t see the figure of the assassin who spread the smoke screen. Instead, another woman sitting in a tree was looking at me.
She placed her flag in her arms and stretched out her hand towards me.
“Be quiet.”
A purple-shaped portal appeared under my feet. My feet sucked in little by little. I sank more and more like a swamp.
The more I pushed, the deeper my feet went. I crouched down, touched the ground, and rolled around.
There is another dimension door right in front of you. And a fireball flew from there.
I raised my arms to block the fireball. The heat was great, but it couldn’t pierce my divine power.
I picked up the barbell that had fallen right in front of me and threw it at the wizard.
“Ouch!”
She freaked out and threw her body through her portal. I came out of a dimension not far away.
The woman was a wizard who used a dimensional door. There seemed to be a distance limit, as she seemed to have summoned a portal not far away.
The wizard summoned a dimensional door and fired an ice arrow. An ice arrow came out of the summoned dimension behind me.
After blocking the ice arrow, I put my arm through the portal.
I tried putting it in just in case. To see what happens if the portal disappears while passing through it.
However, the portal did not disappear. Rather, the wizard widened his distance from the dimensional door.
It seemed like it couldn’t close the dimensional gate while passing through something.
Then the relative method is simple. If you create a dimensional gate around you, you can pass through it comfortably.
The wizard created a dimensional door and threw magic at it. Soon after, a portal appeared above my head.
I parried the magic attack and threw my staff into the portal.
Quang!
I closed the distance myself while she dodged her staff.
The moment you swing your fist, a dimensional door appears. There was a portal in my back too, and if I was wrong, it would almost stab me in the back of the head.
It was a cumbersome magic, but there were also many gaps. The portal obscured her vision, and moved behind her using the obscured vision.
The belatedly aware wizard spread his hand. I grabbed his hand and threw him down.
“Ugh!”
Pressed her abdomen with her knees, and squeezed her neck with her forearms. His other hand snatched the flag.
The resisting wizard’s body drooped.
There were enemies all around. They were waiting for the fight to end. It wasn’t just one or two. For a while, the position of the flag did not change much, so many people gathered.
There were more than 10 people aiming for the flag right away. Their target was only me.
I raised my staff and pointed it at them.
“Hey, come on, come on.”
I had enough stamina to deal with the remaining enemies. Half the time has now passed. It should last an hour and a half.
A head-to-head match is against me. You will not know the abilities of others, and more will come.
But there is no retreat for a man.
If you have a skill like a wizard’s portal, it’s impossible to evade them all.
“Why don’t you put it down before it hurts? Everyone is frantic.”
Booooong!
Quaaagh!
“Aagh!”
He broke the shield of the bravest knight standing in front.
“Then, take it.”
I said, spinning the barbell over my head.
