Lord of Training - Chapter 104
Only Krnovel
104. The poison works.
Puppupupupup!
“Kkiak!”
Kuung!
Croptile fell helplessly after being shot in the head by several bullets.
Knock! Knock knock!
Saint Veronica pulled the trigger several times, even though she ran out of bullets.
The seriously wounded soldier looked shocked.
I just didn’t do anything.
The saint aimed for the monster’s face and hit it squarely.
Then her status window message popped up.
[The induction technique (F) has been awakened.]
[You can use the Aiming Correction (lv.1) skill.]
[Awakened the flying technique (F).]
[You can use the low-speed flight (lv.1) skill.]
The two spells were awakened at the same time, and Saint Veronica was greatly perplexed by the message of flight.
Because the flying technique was in conflict with the Aquila Order.
But soon he looked at the soldier struggling in pain and felt sorry for him.
“Ugh!”
“I’m sorry.”
The saint felt extremely sorry for the soldier.
I felt frustrated and empty because I had nothing more to give.
Wheeing!
“Get out of here!”
Then, Lieutenant Watts, the medic, flew in.
[Use the Bio Scan (lv.3) skill.]
Lieutenant Watts reached out and checked the situation, then used another skill.
[Uses the Extra Healing (lv.3) skill.]
A deep green light emanated from Watts’ hand, and as he placed his hand on his chest, the expression on the soldier’s face, who had been struggling in pain, began to gradually relax.
“Can I buy it?”
“Yes! You have five broken ribs, but if you receive my first aid, you won’t die.”
“Ah! That’s a relief.”
Saint Veronica wiped away her tears and sighed in relief.
“I’ll take care of this soldier. Please help the other soldier.”
“yes!”
Then the struggling soldier grabbed Veronica’s arm and offered her his rifle.
“This, this seems more necessary for the Saintess than for me.”
“yes?”
Saint Veronica was perplexed.
But soon he received the soldier’s assault rifle and magazine belt.
‘If it be God’s will!’
Crunch!
Tata tang! Tata tang!
The fire of God began to shoot from her hands.
***
Tata! Tata!
“Scatter!”
Three wyverns!
There are five of us.
A wyvern was chasing after me.
A class A monster with a body length of 40 meters and a wingspan of 120 meters.
Although it was smaller than the Dimensional Dragon, it was fast and had good turning ability, making it difficult to dodge.
[Use the High-Speed Flight (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]
Paaaaang!
But I’m different.
He quickly walked away and turned around.
[Use the Back Fly (lv.2) skill.]
I naturally flew backwards and picked up the Iris Dimension Rifle.
Crunch!
The magazine contained five poisoned dimensional bullets (chaos).
It was the result of hard work over the past two days.
[Use the Penetration (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]
The wyvern came within striking distance.
‘little bit more!’
The bastard opened his huge mouth.
“Kkiiia!”
Eat this!
Taang!
Phew!
A bullet was lodged in the wyvern’s mouth.
But there was no significant impact.
‘Damn! They said the firepower was random, but it’s a dud······.’
The wyvern seemed unfazed.
[Use the High-Speed Flight (lv.3) skill.]
Paaaaang!
Soared upward.
Wheeeeeeing!
A wyvern passed me by just in time.
The creature flapped its huge wings and circled towards me.
‘Does snake monster venom not work on wyverns?’
I even used penetration and overlapping skills.
And with the bullet lodged in his mouth, the poison must have spread throughout his body.
But it doesn’t work······.
Should I compress Dokdo to increase its concentration?
As the thing flew towards me, I had no choice but to put the Dimensional Rifle into storage and take out the Draco Assault Rifle.
If you can’t kill them with one shot, just shoot them multiple times.
[Use the Penetration (lv.3) skill.]
[Uses the Fire Explosion (lv.2) skill.]
[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]
I aimed my pistol at him.
But then the wyvern started to go down.
‘Oh! Is the poison spreading now?’
It took about 10 seconds for it to take effect.
The bastard started to dive downwards.
No, that’s falling.
“good!”
Paaaaang!
I chased after him.
Taang!
Phew! Hwaaaaah!
One of its wings was engulfed in flames.
“Kkiiia!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The guy crashed into the jungle.
Use the skill again.
Taang!
Hwaaaaah!
Flames rose up again on the wyvern’s body.
Taang! Taang! Taang!
I stacked my best skills and shot it several times, and now it didn’t move.
It would have been easier to kill him if I had a spirit bullet, but it was a shame.
Still, we have a pretty decent weapon called the Poison Bullet.
‘What about the other members?’
I looked up at the sky and saw two people running away and two wyverns chasing them.
And the other two agents were attacking the wyvern from behind, driving it crazy. And when the wyvern attacked another agent, the agent who was being chased attacked from behind this time.
‘You’re all grown up!’
Phelps and his 4th Battalion teammates not only raised their high-speed flight skills to level 3, but their cooperative play with each other also reached a high level.
So, even when fighting an A-class monster, you can run away well.
Besides, John Cutter was an elite-level aerial magician and was dealing quite a bit of damage.
‘Let’s start with that wyvern!’
I flew towards the wyvern chasing John Cutter and Jester.
Taang! Pfft!
“Kuaak!”
The bullet I shot exploded and lodged itself in the wyvern’s side.
The bastard seemed more confused by the sudden appearance of three enemies than by the wounds on his body.
The wyvern opened its mouth toward me.
Kwaaaaang! Hwarururuk!
However, Lieutenant John, who was chasing from behind, attacked the wing with the explosive technique, Burst (lv. 3).
“Kkieeeek!”
The wyvern let out a howl of pain.
Tataang! Tata tatang!
I fired my magic rifle repeatedly to make sure he couldn’t come to his senses any longer.
And the fleeing Jester Lieutenant also returned and focused his attacks on the wings with his Compression Bullet (lv. 3) skill.
At that moment, Major Phelps, who had been attacking the other wyvern from behind, also flew towards us and joined us.
Tata tang! Tata tang!
“Keep shooting!”
Puppupupupup! Puuung!
When the four of us gathered our strength and took turns attacking the wyvern, it couldn’t hold out and turned around.
But one of its wings was torn and had holes in it like a rag, so it couldn’t fly quickly.
We chased after the bastard and finally tore off his wings.
Boom! Kukukung! Bang!
The fallen wyvern.
Now that’s easy prey!
I used my skill and fired at the wyvern on the ground.
Tata tata tang! Bang! Bang!
“Kkiak!”
Kuung!
The second wyvern died.
Then the one remaining wyvern turned around and ran away.
We didn’t chase him.
Paaaaang!
“Wow! If everyone leaves, what will I do alone?”
Captain Herman came flying in with a bleary-eyed face.
He evaded the wyvern’s pursuit for about ten minutes by himself.
“That’s because your flying skills are the best.”
“That’s true.”
“Among the four battalions, there is one that has the weakest firepower.”
“That’s······. Hmm!”
Captain Herman looked embarrassed.
Herman’s firepower was weak because he specialized in judo.
“Okay! Let’s hurry and go back to base!”
“yes!”
We headed to the temporary base.
***
[Uses the skill Dynamic Vision (lv.3).]
‘Oh, it’s a little late.’
The battle with the Croptiles was already in full swing.
The monsters were climbing up the base’s walls, and the soldiers and agents were desperately trying to stop them.
“Watch out for the flying spears, and attack those closest to the barrier first!”
“yes!”
The 4th Battalion members flew at high speed.
I flew towards Lieutenant Colonel Audrey, who was commanding from the central skies.
Paaaaang!
She looked absentminded as she looked around.
“Colonel Audrey!”
“Ah! Captain, you’re here!”
Audrey smiled so brightly.
It’s not easy to deal with monsters coming from all directions.
And conducting wasn’t an easy task.
“Thank you for your hard work. I will join you in the future.”
“Yes! I’ll see you later.”
Audrey headed towards the 1st Battalion, which was fighting in the rear.
I quickly looked around.
The front where Lieutenant Colonel Nicole is is well defended.
Two Crops have climbed up the left wall.
He picked up a rifle.
Tata tata tang! Tata tang!
Boom! Boom boom!
But the 4th Battalion attacked and dealt with them before me.
And on the right side, one crop came up as a barrier.
‘huh?’
Why are there some agents flying separately?
A soldier I had never seen before was firing a pistol at the crop all by himself.
But then I fired all 20 shots in an instant.
What was even more surprising was that Cropp, who had been hit in the face and fell backwards, was unrecognizable even to his parents.
At that moment, the side profile of the agent was visible.
‘Huh? Veronica!’
For a moment I was dumbfounded.
Did the saint awaken the flying technique?
And why are you holding an assault rifle?
The saint skillfully changed the magazine and aimed for Cropp, who had just climbed over the barrier.
Crunch! Tata tata tata tang!
For a moment, without me knowing, that place flinched.
Cropp, whose genitals were torn to shreds, screamed in pain and fell down the wall.
‘How do you get them all right? Did you learn rapid fire skills too?’
The overall situation was not one of being pushed back, but there were quite a few wounded soldiers, and with Croptiled attached to the barrier, there was nothing for the Orbital Gigant behind it to do.
The strongest among us is playing around!
And when dealing with crops that rush in close like now, it seemed like using a giant dagger and shield for Gigant would be much more effective than using a spirit cannon.
‘If we attack the Wyvern now, it won’t be easy.’
We had fought the wyverns a little while ago a little way from here, but if the wyverns attacked here at the same time or if the number of wyverns increased, my men and I could be in danger.
I guess I’ll have to look for another base.
“Kkiiia!”
Kuung!
The last crop tile fell.
They would never retreat, even if only one of them remained.
***
“What is the damage situation?”
Lieutenant Colonel Nicole reported.
“Two dead, 13 injured. Three are seriously injured and cannot move immediately.”
I nodded.
“Still, the damage isn’t that bad for the first battle.”
I looked at Prince Arc.
“Have you checked the number of awakened personnel?”
“34 people have awakened to the magic.”
“So the person who deals the last blow to the monster gets the experience points?”
“I think so.”
“Then, if we survive this labyrinth gate, we will all be able to awaken.”
“And there are three agents who have awakened the flying technique.”
“Oh! Three people is pretty much awakened.”
Prince Arc nodded slightly at my words.
“First, we need to move the base.”
“What? Are you moving the base?”
“Yes. It’s too open here and vulnerable to air attacks.”
“You mean the wyvern?”
“When we attacked the group of crops coming here, three wyverns nearby rushed at us. If wyverns had appeared in this base, there would have been great chaos. And there may be more in the future.”
“Haa! I guess I need to find another base quickly.”
For now, the soldiers will wait at this base, and only I and the 4th Battalion will move.
Because high-speed flight is essential for quick searches.
The agents and soldiers decided to clear the area around the base and be ready to leave at any time.
It was when I and the 4th Battalion were standing on the barrier to depart.
“Excuse me! I have something to tell you.”
Saint Veronica approached.
“Please speak.”
“It seems that there is a fragment of God, or rather a dimensional core, to the southwest of here.”
“Are you sure it’s not a dimensional gate or a dimensional monster, but a dimensional core?”
“Yes, that’s for sure.”
If it was a dimensional core, there was a high possibility that it was an elf base.
“Then may I ask you to guide me?”
“Yes. Now I can fly.”
I chuckled.
First of all, excuse me.
I flew into the air holding the saint.
I couldn’t match her flight speed because I didn’t have time.
Paaaaang!
***
It was dangerous because it was late at night, but we moved to find the elf base to prevent further damage.
“There it is! There’s a dimensional core between those canyons.”
At the words of Saint Veronica, we came down to earth.
And then I turned on the dimension detector.
Just as she said, a red light sparkled inside the canyon.
We walked around, looking around.
Major Phelps looked around the canyon and said:
“It’s about 100 meters wide, so it looks like a good way to block crops.”
“I think so too. And the upper part is rather narrow, so even a wyvern won’t be able to enter.”
Captain Herman also nodded.
The elves have made their base in a pretty nice location this time.
Earlier, I couldn’t understand why they had built a base in the middle of the jungle.
Of course, it was 100 times better than not having a base at all, but it wasn’t suitable for stopping crops or aerial monsters.
‘This is the perfect place.’
Furthermore, upon entering inside, there was a large cave-like place.
The ceiling was open here and there, so it was well-ventilated and moonlight came in.
But even after going in for a while, there was no trace of the elf having used it.
“stop!”
Phelps swallowed dryly and stopped the group.
It seemed like something was wrong with his magic detection skills.
He suddenly shook his head.
And then he sent a signal to step back.
As the distance grew, Phelps breathed a sigh of relief.
“what’s the matter?”
“It’s a mana reaction. It’s very large.”
“Dimensional monster?”
“Yes, I think so.”
I left the agents on standby for a moment, and headed forward with only the dimensional detector.
And soon the identity of the giant mana and dimensional core was confirmed.
[Basilisk (S-rank) – A lizard-like dimensional monster with eight legs, thousands of thorns on its back, and a venomous breath from its mouth.
When in danger, they may sting the thorns on their bodies.
They have a habit of eating as much as possible during a hunt, then returning to the nest and sleeping until the next hunt. (They sleep for up to a month.)
