11. The Lost Heritage of the World.
“Kuaaaaah!”
My eardrums felt like they were going to burst as the giant dimensional monster roared.
But Major Nicole flies straight ahead without fear!
‘Is it still too much?’
Wheeing!
It didn’t seem to fly as fast as I thought.
It seemed like he wasn’t able to perform to his full potential due to his injury.
The dimensional monster looked at the small doll flying towards him in disbelief, and as it got closer, it swung its huge front paw at the major.
Boohoo!
“Krung?”
But Major Nicole, who seemed to have been torn to pieces by the blade-like claws, was nowhere to be seen.
“Behind!”
The major was soon behind the giant dimensional monster.
Chomp!
“Kueuk!”
Blood splattered on the dimensional monster’s back as the major swung his sword.
The dimensional monster immediately turned around and swung its front legs.
But the major had already stepped back.
Paaaaang!
The major ran into the bastard’s arms with a loud noise.
Choaack!
“Kuaaaa!”
The monster roared.
Just then, the major shot past the monster, leaving a red trail of blood on its belly.
“What? It suddenly got faster!”
“What skill did you just use?”
The soldiers looked puzzled.
“It’s probably something like an instantaneous acceleration skill. It’s the specialty of aerial magic knights.”
Sergeant Herman looked at me as he answered.
“Sergeant, right?”
How would I understand?
But somehow I can guess.
“In my opinion, it seems more like a flying technique than a skill.”
“Technology?”
“In reality, you can reach speeds of 10, but when you rush at the monster, you rush at speeds of 5. Then the monster will get used to that speed. It will time its attacks accordingly.”
“Are you saying that you only speed up and dodge when a monster attacks?”
He nodded.
“If it’s an acceleration skill, the speed will increase for a few seconds the moment you use the skill. However, Major Nicole dodges an attack or hits, and immediately returns to the original speed. That means she perfectly controls the flight speed in real time. So isn’t it more of a technique than a skill?”
“Then the Major is incredibly strong.”
“So you must have taken care of six of the Empire’s aerial magic knights by yourself.”
“Oh! Right.”
The platoon members nodded.
They were now watching Major Nicole’s overwhelming battle scene, lost in thought.
“Wow! Your skills are amazing!”
“Are you really going to catch that monster by yourself?”
Major Nicole continued to wound the monster.
As expected, she was definitely a much stronger magic knight than us.
Pfft! Chhhh!
“Ooh! This time I hurt my hind legs!”
“Well done!”
The soldiers cheered and cheered in unison.
The monster had already taken a major hit and was bleeding profusely.
As time passes, the giant monster’s movements will become slower.
‘But why are you in such a hurry?’
Now, if you attack slowly and inflict critical damage, the battle will be over.
But she continued to attack quickly.
And the number of times you get hurt gradually decreases.
It was evidence that the dimensional monster was becoming increasingly accustomed to the Major’s attack patterns.
She killed six of the Empire’s aerial magic knights.
If you consider him a hunter, he’s at least a B-class hunter.
In fact, the D-class monster should have been killed by now.
It was clearly an attack that was carried out recklessly while the body had not yet recovered.
Perhaps he thought that since there were few awakened members in our platoon, he had to deal with them quickly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When his attack finally failed, he pulled out his pistol from his waistband and started shooting the monster.
‘I guess I have to help.’
Major Nicole’s health did not seem to be good.
The speed also becomes very slow.
If you keep doing that, you might get attacked by a monster.
She had to live here together.
Only then will she be able to take the credit for defeating the Imperial Airborne Magic Knight and clearing the Labyrinth Gate.
Our platoon would have been a perfect fit if we had been promoted one rank for helping her.
Then, the platoon would be able to continue to operate without being scattered, and there would be no situations where it would be deployed on dangerous missions.
Paaang! Evil!
The monster dodged Major Nicole’s sword.
At that moment, the bastard’s front paw slammed down on the halting major.
“Dangerous!”
Boohoo! Kwaang!
A cloud of dust rose up on the floor.
“Huh? Did the Major get hurt?”
Then Major Nicole flew up above the smoky dust.
Fortunately, the major was unharmed.
But he was breathing heavily.
“It looks dangerous, shouldn’t we help it?”
Sergeant Herman asked with a worried look.
I nodded.
Then Phelps said,
“I will prepare Private John.”
“No. Bring Private Chris.”
“Would you like to do it yourself?”
“It’s okay since I’m an Awakened person anyway. And guess what? I might be able to strike the final blow.”
Phelps, who understood what I meant, immediately brought Chris over.
“Did you call?”
“You said the skill lasts for 10 seconds?”
“yes.”
“Then, cast a skill on my rifle once every 10 seconds.”
“Yes! Leave it to me.”
Private Chris and I climbed up to the roof of a nearby, half-collapsed three-story building.
The distance from here to the dimensional monster is approximately 250 meters.
The monster was so big that I could easily hit it with my shooting skills.
I lay down and aimed the rifle.
“Shall we begin?”
“okay.”
Private Chris was next to me handling my rifle.
A blue light burst out from my hand, and a small magic circle appeared in front of my gun.
Since there are many members in the platoon, there are many different types of awakening techniques.
Chris was the only one in the squad who had a buff spell.
His buff skill is weapon strengthening.
Increases the power of any weapon held by 1.5 times.
“Hoo! Hoo!”
I held my breath and waited for Major Nicole to attack the monster.
After 10 seconds, the magic circle in front of the rifle disappeared.
Chris touched my rifle again and activated the skill.
Then Major Nicole flew in, aiming for the monster’s shoulder.
Now is the time!
[Use the Penetration (lv.1) skill.]
Taang!
A bullet struck the monster’s torso with a gunshot.
And at the same time, the major’s sword cut straight through the monster’s shoulder.
“Kuaaaang!”
The monster let out a howl of pain.
The bastard’s forelegs were instantly dyed red by the blood flowing from his shoulders.
Penetration skill increases the power of the magic bullet by 1.5 times.
If you add Chris’s 1.5x buff skill to it, you can even hit a D-class monster.
But the real blow was Major Nicole’s attack.
Major Nicole glanced over at us.
‘I helped you, so you won’t feel bad, right?’
Major Nicole began to fly around the top of the monster.
Perhaps he had read my intentions.
Chris cast a buff skill and waited for the right timing.
Then Major Nicole attacks again.
[Use the Penetration (lv.1) skill.]
Taang!
Phew! Choaak!
“Kuaaaaah!”
A bright red line was drawn across the monster’s neck.
And blood spurted out like a fountain.
This attack was fatal.
Major Nicole made a bold attack because I had drawn the attention of the dimensional monster with my magic gun.
The giant monster began to stagger violently.
‘The winner has been decided.’
But my attacks weren’t over.
I’ll eat the last one.
I raised my upper body and got down on one knee.
Chris buffs the gun.
[Use the Penetration (lv.1) skill.]
[Use the Penetration (lv.1) skill.]
[Use the Penetration (lv.1) skill.]
Tata tang! Bang! Bang!
He fired his rifle at the monster’s head.
Crunch!
As I continued to shoot while changing magazines, the monster was pushed back and fell down helplessly.
Kwaaang!
[The Magic Knight’s level has increased.]
[Level (lv.13) -> Level (lv.18)]
[Penetration skill level has increased.]
[Penetration (lv.1) -> Penetration (lv.2)]
A series of pleasant alarms went off.
This meant that I had taken the final blow.
“Let’s go down now.”
“yes!”
We joined up with our platoon.
And then Major Nicole flew in slowly.
chuck!
“I’m sorry. I thought you had it all figured out, Major, but I’ll finish it to save time.”
“It’s okay.”
Major Nicole gave a short answer, breathing heavily and sweat pouring down her face.
You could tell at a glance that the condition wasn’t good.
“Private Watts, I’ll look into the Major.”
“yes!”
“No. Let’s hurry and go to the munitions factory.”
She seemed to want to hurry up and finish it while she still had some energy left.
***
There were large holes all over the walls and ceiling, so it wasn’t difficult to discern objects.
Did we get bombed?
The inside of the munitions factory was a scene of chaos.
‘What on earth am I supposed to be looking for in a place like this?’
What is the legacy of the lost world?
“What are you looking for, Major?”
“I do not know either.”
“yes?”
“If you form a group around the Awakened and touch various items, there will be an item that will increase the count in the mission status window. That is the item we are looking for.”
It was a very simple method.
But when you don’t know what it is, it’s also the fastest way.
Major Nicole moved alone, and we teamed up to search the area.
1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours······.
I’ve tried various things, but the count is still 0.
I was starting to get a little impatient because I had to find three legacies.
If you don’t find it, you won’t be able to exit the labyrinth gate.
Is that why it’s called the Labyrinth Gate?
We felt like we were in a labyrinth.
Time passed and there was no result.
“Let’s take a break.”
Phelps sat down next to me and shook his head.
“What on earth is it?”
“Well. Your detection skill isn’t responding either?”
“Yes. I don’t think it’s an object that contains mana. If it was, I would have found it a long time ago.”
[The linking has been completed.]
I sneakily opened the alchemist’s workshop and placed the magic bullet into the disintegration device.
[Dimensional Energy – 0/10]
The initial fusion circle would be completed quickly as soon as the dimensional energy was full. However, because the dimensional energy was filled so slowly, it took two full days to complete.
Inside this labyrinth gate, the speed of dimensional energy transfer was several times faster.
So, while I was inside, I had to diligently rotate the Yeonseongjin.
Suddenly, that thought occurred to me.
“Is there a secret space underground here too?”
“Oh! Like the military base we were at?”
“Yes, we searched this much, but if we couldn’t find anything, there’s a high chance that they’ve been stored separately in a secret location.”
“I think it would be better to look for space rather than things.”
He nodded.
“As expected, you are the platoon leader.”
“Go and tell the other members of your platoon.”
“yes!”
The results didn’t take long to show.
Sergeant Kalin approached.
“Sergeant, I think I found something.”
“As expected, you did it.”
Sergeant Kalin awakened his detection technique.
It wasn’t a special ability like Sergeant Phelps’ ability to sense mana or detect magic.
The skill he awakened was night vision. It was the ability to see dark places as if they were daytime.
“Here it is.”
The place we arrived at after following Sergeant Kalin was a warehouse-like space with an open ceiling.
It was a place I had searched once too.
But the warehouse was empty, there was nothing there but dust, so I just passed it by.
“If you look at the gaps between the walls and the floor here, there is almost no dust. Isn’t that proof that there is ventilation?”
When I shined the lantern, there was a lot of dust in the other gaps, but only the place that Sergeant Kalin pointed to had a small gap visible.
You found this?
“Good job! If it weren’t for you, no one would have found it.”
“thank you.”
I couldn’t help but praise Sergeant Kalin.
“I don’t think it’s possible to pull it since there’s no handle. Let’s try pushing it together.”
“yes.”
I pushed hard against the wall with a gap between me and Karlin.
Kkiing!
Then the wall began to push inward.
This was a door.
“Let’s go.”
“No. I will guard this place in case someone finds it. Go ahead.”
“Okay. Then I’ll close the door from the inside, so find Sergeant Phelps and wait nearby.”
“yes!”
I went inside and closed the door.
Going in a little further, I saw stairs leading down.
I don’t think I would have found the passage if I hadn’t broken down the entire wall.
‘How far did it go?’
I came down for a long time, but I couldn’t see the end of the stairs.
There were vents here and there, letting in some air, so it wasn’t hard to breathe. But as I continued to descend, I started to feel a little worried.
It won’t collapse, right?
Finally, the floor.
As I pushed open the door and went in, a large space appeared.
When are you going to search all of this?
Then I saw something like a large switch on the wall.
I grabbed the handle and lifted it up.
Crunch! Weeeeeing!
Pot! Papapapot!
In an instant, dozens of magic lamps lit up, revealing the interior.
‘It’s a laboratory······.’
Equipment that seemed to have been used for experiments was visible everywhere.
And then I saw something between the pillars.
Right in the middle of the lab.
There were three large transparent cylinders, and inside them was a black piece the size of a fist floating.
I opened the status window and checked.
[Dimensional Core Fragment]
There was no detailed explanation.
All I could see was the name Dimensional Core Fragment.
Dimensional core?
Looking at the three pieces, it seemed like they were originally one piece divided into three.
No! It looks like one piece is missing.
Upon closer inspection, I saw that it was a round object divided into four parts.
‘What were you trying to do with this?’
At first glance, it was clear that this was a lost heritage of the world.
And just by looking at the name, it seemed like an extremely dangerous thing.
Now, if I just took this, I could exit the gate.
But I can’t hold it in my hand, so how do I take care of it?
[The linking has been completed.]
‘Huh? Already?’
It’s only been an hour since I put in the new matan?
Opened the alchemist status window.
‘Huh? My dimensional energy is rising!’
That was visible to the eye.
In an instant, the dimensional energy was filled.
What is going on?
At that moment, a piece of the dimensional core appeared before my eyes.
