Episode 46. Ant Cave (6)
‘They said this rider is the golden generation… … Those weren’t empty words.’
I didn’t have a conversation with them.
It was just that I was hiding in the shadows and gathering information and ended up getting caught.
Some of them were swearing at me, but it didn’t really bother me.
Because I wasn’t allowed to have emotions.
Follow orders faithfully.
That was his role and the meaning of his existence, called the ‘Gutter Rat of the Empire’.
“Rain Fire!”
Ku-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
A dozen ants were pierced by the rain of fire.
Ants whose bodies are pierced here and there and are unable to exert their strength.
The children of the Eurydia faction rushed in and took care of them.
“As expected, Yuridia! haha! “If the Yuridia faction unites, this is nothing!”
“Alfonso! “I’ll leave it to you!”
“yes? Then where is Yuridia… … .”
“We must go and save children in danger!”
“Hey, Yuridia! “It’s dangerous!”
Alfonso stretched out his hand.
But his actions stopped there. He did not go after Yurydia.
Because I was scared. Even now, ants were still pouring down.
“Dike, don’t let those dirty things come near me.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Teron took out a handkerchief and covered his nose.
This is because the demonic beasts gave off an indescribable smell.
At the same time, Dyke began swinging his sword in earnest.
Kwasik! Quad deuk-!
One at a time.
The ants were steadily removed.
However, the targets were those who came near Teron.
Charon, who was watching this, thought.
‘What a diverse group of people.’
Someone trying to save other children.
A person who only cares about his own life.
A person whose own hygiene is more important than the safety of others.
A person who is faithful to orders, etc.
But Charon didn’t want to blame anyone.
‘Because there is no right answer.’
Although Yuridia is great for caring for others, it cannot be said that it is the right thing to do.
This is a decision that could endanger not only one’s own life but also the lives of one’s colleagues.
Bye!
It was when Charon, who had destroyed the ant’s face, was about to move again.
“Zero! “Where are you?”
A girl’s voice pierced my ears.
It’s a voice I’m quite used to now.
It’s Luna.
‘Are you alone? And why are you running around?’
In this situation, it is best to be protected by an instructor.
And the next best thing is for students to have each other’s backs.
But you’re still walking around alone.
It was a very dangerous action.
Kieeek-!!
The reality was just as Charon expected.
An ant blocked Luna’s path.
“What are you again! “Get away from me!!”
Flutter!
Luna cut off the ant’s head with one blow.
To cut down with a single sword even without the family’s secret sword skills.
It was great skill.
Well, being covered in blood was a point deduction.
‘Have your skills improved so far? ‘That’s great.’
Charon felt proud without realizing it.
Just when I was thinking of giving the store away as soon as this place is cleaned up.
“Zero… … Where are you? … .”
Luna’s murmur was heard in Charon’s ear.
He doesn’t seem to care at all about his condition.
Charon saw that.
“Tsk, is Ron there?”
I immediately called instructor Ron.
“Did you call me?”
“Mark that kid.”
“yes?”
“We are facing great growth. However, it seems like you are being swayed by emotions. “Stay nearby and help me if you are in danger.”
“Yes, I understand!”
Although he is a bit shy, Ron is one of the top three instructors.
This means that it is possible to protect Luna even while defeating the magical beast.
After ensuring Luna’s safety, Charon looked around.
‘Come to think of it… … ‘He’s not there.’
An unidentified child, Zero.
He was nowhere to be seen.
‘That’s strange. ‘I didn’t think he was that shabby enough to run away?’
If he died somewhere, at least his body had to remain.
But I couldn’t see it.
In the end, Charon decided to use his secret weapon.
‘I guess I’ll have no choice but to use that.’
A tracer scent created independently through a combination of special chemicals.
After clearing my nose with medication, I started concentrating.
Tracking was easy.
Because the scent of tracking has already been buried in Zero.
Soon Charon began to follow the scent.
‘How dare you leave Luna alone? ah… … ‘This is not it.’
Charon shook his head to organize his thoughts.
Because it is impossible for me to be angry because of Luna.
Yes, to what extent are you angry?
‘How dare you leave the battlefield? ‘Zero, you son of a bitch.’
If you get caught, you get 5 penalty points.
Charon was soon able to reach where Zero was.
The walls were filled with the scent of tracking incense. no.
‘… … ‘Is the smell continuing behind the wall?’
This means that there is space behind the wall.
When Charon put his hand in his pocket and took it out, a black-edged dagger was placed between his fingers.
Ta-da-dan!
There are four daggers thrown, but three sounds are heard.
One disappeared. Exactly.
‘Here it is.’
When I put my hand where the dagger disappeared, half of my fingers disappeared.
Illusion magic. To be exact, it is an illusion magic circle.
‘… … I haven’t received any report like this.’
I lowered my body slightly and headed inside.
Pitch-black darkness.
However, the structure was clearly visible to Charon.
Because darkness is his main stage.
As long as there was a little light, it was possible to see through the structure.
‘Light coming from somewhere… … .’
It means there is a gap somewhere.
And it is very likely that it leads somewhere.
Charon’s well-trained senses said so.
‘The trap is… … No. ‘Something strange?’
Installing an illusion magic circle is definitely not an easy task.
Money, materials, time, physical camouflage, and even high-ranking wizards.
It was an illusionary magic circle that even he couldn’t notice, so it was clear that he had gone through a lot of trouble.
‘But you don’t even see a simple trap?’
That wasn’t the only strange thing.
A space that not only wasn’t on the map, but that even I had visited dozens of times without even noticing.
Zero found this place and even hid his body?
‘It stinks.’
There was a bad smell wafting all over the place.
Finding zero wasn’t that difficult.
Not only was it a single road, but he was standing right in the center of the exit.
Well, maybe it’s because there’s a cliff right in front of it.
Zero was looking at the cliff on the other side.
Numerous black solid lines are drawn on the cliff.
What’s interesting is that the solid lines are moving little by little.
As if he were alive.
“… … .”
No, no. That’s not a solid black line.
‘Ant-type demon beast… … !’
Charon couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
Solid black line. If you look closely, each and every one of them is an ant.
A number that feels like a solid line.
‘If all these guys come… … !’
Charon and the instructors can survive.
However, the safety of students cannot be guaranteed.
‘Oh, that guy is not important.’
It doesn’t matter how you found this place or why you came here.
What is important now is a quick evacuation, blocking the entrance, and requesting assistance.
‘We’ll drag you out right now!’
It was when Charon was about to snatch Zero by the back.
Zero put his hand on the hilt of his sword and spread his feet wide.
Then, he slightly bends down to his waist.
‘That posture… … ?’
The Lester family’s unique preparedness.
Suddenly, Charon remembered the entrance exam.
Zero imitating Luna’s [Slash] to break through Raimon’s defense.
‘But the reason for acting like that in a place like this… … ?’
Before Charon’s thoughts were even finished.
Zero moved.
The left knee is slightly bent, and the scabbard is raised at a right angle accordingly.
The explosive rotational power of the ankles and wrists is visible only to the eyes of experts.
As a result, the waist becomes more bent.
and.
A gigantic flash of light flies by, engulfing the surrounding light.
Yeah, that’s it.
The first draw of the Leicester family.
‘A flash… … !!’
Charon couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
It’s not because the cliff on the other side is collapsing.
The back of the Lester family that he deeply respected and envied.
Because it was right there.
‘Renia… … ?’
The head of the Lester family and Luna’s mother.
Renia de Lester.
The backs of Renia and Zero overlapped in my mind.
It’s a complete valve. Proud swordsmanship.
That proud back.
‘You guy…’ … ‘What on earth is it?’
How is it possible to perfectly use the Lester family’s arcane skills?
The most likely one is of course.
‘Could it be the illegitimate child of the Leicester family?’
However, there is no way the proud Leicester family would have hidden the existence of an illegitimate child.
Rather, it would have been better if it had been announced proudly and made public.
‘Even more so if it’s Renia.’
Of course, you can’t jump to conclusions. Because they are people too.
If we assume that Zero is an illegitimate child, it makes sense that Luna would trust him.
Because the two are half-siblings.
“… … .”
But what if that’s not the case?
If it’s someone who was planted by ‘those guys’.
What if they are plotting an evil plan using the Leicester family again?
‘I’ll handle it here.’
Charon approached slowly. On the back of his wrist.
A blue dagger was hidden.
* * *
A single flash of light.
But the aftermath created by that flash was by no means small.
Kwagagagagagagwang!!
A deafening roar.
A cliff that shakes so much that you’re afraid it might collapse.
The cliff on the other side was filled with dust.
At the same time, a clamor similar to the screams of ants filled the space between the two cliffs.
[You have satisfied the quest conditions.]
[Defeat the Demon Beast (100/100)]
[You have cleared Main Quest #3, ‘Defeat the Demon Beast!’]
[10 gold and 1 ‘skill level up point’ are given as compensation.]
‘crazy… … .’
When I checked the information window, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
Level 25. It has risen by a whopping 10 levels.
The number of pts held also jumped to 130.
‘I can’t believe I can earn points that allow me to gamble on my potential stats all at once.’
It was even more shocking that I had raised 10 levels at once.
The highest level of explosion of stagnant items is level 6.
I updated it. And that’s 4 levels higher.
The dust settled little by little.
The power of [Ilsom] was clearly engraved on the cliff on the other side.
For safety, we aimed for the top of the cliff, but the entire top of the cliff disappeared.
‘I guess it can’t be used on people either.’
However, it can be used as much as you want against magical beasts.
He sheathed his sword once again and took a stance.
Potential gambling? You can do that later.
Now is this sweet opportunity.
It was more important to enjoy the honey called opportunity.
‘I’ll scrape it all the way to the bottom and eat it.’
By the way, no matter how many skills you use in the game, the ants will not come over here.
It was presumed that they were independent spaces with no connected roads.
‘I guess that’s why there could be two queen ants.’
It was still the same now.
They are in confusion and only do security and restoration, but do not move in this direction.
It was clear that there was no way.
It was time to use [Ilsom] again.
“Zero! “What are you doing here now!”
A sudden shout came from behind.
I couldn’t help but be surprised.
A loud shout is a shout, but the main character of the voice is none other than that.
‘Caron? ‘Why is he here?’
Smashing terrain, dancing and singing, jumping off cliffs, etc.
Despite everything, no one has ever come here.
Yes, this now.
‘It’s a new hidden piece.’
