Lord of Training - Chapter 134
Only Krnovel
134. What did I say?
“Where the hell are these kids hiding?”
“Could it be that it has already escaped?”
The Empire’s aerial magic knights have been searching the jungle since last night.
“Look carefully! A little while ago, Lieutenant General Marceus caught them nearby with his mana detection skill.”
“But didn’t you say it disappeared right away?”
“That means they dug a tunnel and hid, or went into a cave or something, and can’t be detected.”
The area right below is a deep jungle, so if you dug into the ground and hid, you wouldn’t be able to find it with your Mana Detection skill.
They were only captured briefly when they moved.
“They are definitely around here. We must find them!”
Brigadier General Marceus shouted to the surrounding aerial magic knights.
“Especially the older magic knights who can fly at high altitudes. You absolutely must not miss them.”
“yes!”
This time, Brigadier General Marceus has finally become an S-rank Aerial Magic Knight.
I entered the S-rank labyrinth gate and slaughtered S-rank ground puppy dimensional monsters until I finally rose to the rank of S-rank magic knight.
However, he did not have his own special weapon, and eventually learned the highest level sniping skill, Shot Eruption (lv. 1).
The moment the Shot Eruption skill is activated, an earth-type magic circle is activated in front of the muzzle, and powerful vibration energy is added to the bullet and it flies.
This is a skill that causes the surrounding area to split as if an earthquake had occurred the moment a bullet hits it. If a person were to be hit by this skill, their entire body would be torn apart and they would die before the bullet even penetrates their body.
But there was one drawback.
The skill’s range is only 100 meters.
After 100 meters, the bullet loses its vibrational energy.
However, when it reaches level 3, it increases to 300 meters, making it a very useful skill.
Due to these circumstances, Marceus was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General, but has not yet been officially promoted to the rank of a named officer of the Empire.
When you become a named person, you can gain both wealth and fame, and even have a mansion in the capital.
So, I wanted to quickly enter the spirit world gate, kill dimensional monsters, and raise my skill level to become a named player as soon as possible, but this damn war was the problem.
But last night I discovered a high-altitude flying machine capable of flying at high altitudes.
If he had returned alive, he would have continued to reconnoiter, and the war could have been prolonged because he would have been able to know all of the Imperial Army’s movements and respond accordingly.
So, I absolutely had to kill him here.
“Contact me to deploy one more regiment to this jungle!”
“yes!”
***
Not far from where the Imperial Aerial Magic Knights are searching.
The ones who were hiding in the shade of a large tree were scouts from the Atlan Special Aircraft Magic Flying Squadron.
“Whew! Great job, Major Tian. If it weren’t for your skills, we would have been caught long ago.”
Lieutenant Colonel Phelps let out a small sigh of relief as he retracted his magic detection skill.
“No. If it weren’t for Lieutenant Colonel Phelps’ magic detection skills, we wouldn’t have even known they were approaching.”
Major Tian of the 13th Squadron had a unique skill.
Trap technique’s ground digging (lv.3) skill.
With his earth-related skills, the ground he touched became very soft, and he could even dig the ground with his hands. Then, when Phelps took out a steel battle doll from the subspace storage and had it dig the ground, it was able to dig a hole large enough for four people in five minutes.
So, I have been able to overcome several crises so far.
In fact, it was because of this skill that Alain chose Major Tian for his scout corps.
“It’s my fault. I’m sorry.”
Colonel Bradrick bowed his head at the corner of the tunnel.
“It’s been a while since I’ve been assigned a mission, and I didn’t realize that I was almost out of mana and continued to scout. It’s completely my fault.”
“It’s not your fault, Colonel. It’s just that you tried too hard and that’s what happened. And you just have to be careful in the future.”
“Haa! Is there any future for us?”
Colonel Bradrick gave Lt. Col. Phelps and the men an apologetic look.
“No, once I have some mana, I’ll try to lure them north. In the meantime, you fly at full speed towards the base. That way, at least one or two people will survive.”
Phelps chuckled.
“That won’t happen. General Alain will come to our rescue soon.”
“Phew! If that’s what you wanted, you shouldn’t have told me there were two named-class aerial magic knights here in the first place.”
“Huh? What is that?”
“Right now, our Allied Forces’ Named-class knights are facing off against the Empire’s Named-class knights. So they can’t come here. No matter how skilled and strong-hearted Brigadier General Alain is, we know that there are two Named-class knights here. Do you think you can come here?”
Colonel Bradrick looked skeptical.
Phelps, on the other hand, was smiling.
“That’s what the Colonel says without knowing Brigadier General Alain. Even if all the Imperial Named-class Aerial Magic Knights were here, the General would still come to our rescue.”
“That’s just a story from a heroic tale. I’ve never seen anyone like that before. So, do as I said a little while ago. Then, one or two of you might survive.”
Thud! Thud thud!
“Huh? No way······.”
Swaaaaaaah!
Suddenly it started pouring rain.
‘Damn it! Even the heavens are not on our side.’
Colonel Bradrick cursed the heavens.
A hole appeared in the jungle sky.
A small hole like this will be flooded in no time.
Since he had made a mistake, he didn’t mind dying, but it was too bad that the bright young members were dying here.
“Since it has come to this anyway, let’s all give it our all and fly together.”
“Yes! I think so.”
Four people came out of the pit.
It was only a matter of time before they were discovered.
Colonel Bradrick didn’t have much mana left, so he couldn’t make it to base anyway.
So I thought I would pretend to go with them and then stop their pursuit on my own.
If it gave them even just a few seconds to escape, then in the end, he would die for his comrades.
In fact, if he had mana, he would have had the highest chance of survival because he had awakened the high-speed flight skill, the stacking skill, and the evasion skill, but right now, his mana was almost at the bottom.
Then Phelps took out a small box.
“First, eat this······.”
chin!
Lieutenant Franco suddenly grabbed Phelps’ arm.
And then he chuckled and nodded towards the sky.
Phelps looked up.
Then he also laughed heartily.
“What did I say? Our captain said he would definitely come.”
“what?”
I also saw Colonel Bradrick turning his head.
A person who uses high-speed flight skills to cut through the pouring rain and flies like a bullet towards the enemy aerial magic knights!
“Surely not, Lieutenant General Alain?”
***
Swaaaaaaah!
A sudden downpour of rain.
Rather good!
Because it hides my presence.
Paaaaang!
As I approached, the Imperial Aerial Magic Knights turned their heads.
“huh?”
“what?”
I walked leisurely past them.
“Ouch! That’s the enemy!”
“Shoot!”
Although he discovered me late, I had already aimed my magic gun at the named-class aerial magic knight.
[Use the Penetration (lv.3) skill.]
[Uses the Fire Explosion (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]
Taang!
First step, flashy.
Phew! Hwaaaaah!
Damn, it’s less colorful because of the rain.
But it didn’t matter.
Because the pupils of the named-class aerial magic knight who unleashed his defensive skills grew twice as large.
Is defensive skill your long-term skill?
It’s pretty good!
[Use the High-Speed Flight (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]
Paaaaang! Wheeing!
It soared upward past him.
“Catch that kid!”
Paaaaang! Paaaaang!
Swish swish swish!
The Imperial Aerial Magic Knights surrounding me are chasing me.
About 20 people.
First of all, was the lure a success?
Tata tang! Tata tang!
Bullets flew from all directions.
But because of the heavy rain, visibility was poor, and there was no way the gun fired while using the high-speed flight skill would hit.
‘But where did one go?’
Phelps said there were clearly two named players, but when I looked at mana, I could only see one person who had the mana to be a named player.
Did you go to the bathroom to take a dump?
Anyway, this is a change of plans!
If there were two of them, we tried to separate them from the other aerial magic knights and deal with them, but if there was only one named, we had no choice but to fight them.
Paaaaang!
Increased altitude.
Rising through the layers of clouds.
“Haaak! Haaak!”
My breathing becomes rapid and my body starts to tremble.
I put on an oxygen mask.
And then we raised the altitude even higher.
The aerial magic knights stopped and I saw only five of them following me.
If I could just breathe properly, I could climb higher than them.
Let’s go up a little further, now only two people are following us.
Okay, that’s it.
[Uses the skill Dynamic Vision (lv.3).]
I turned around.
[Use the Back Fly (lv.3) skill.]
Whew!
As I turned my body and used my skills in succession and aimed my assault rifle, I saw confusion in the goggled eyes of the guy in front.
We are that close!
Taang! Tata tata tang!
Puppupupupup!
Phew! Hwaaaaah!
He would have died on the first shot, but judging by how far he’s come, he’s at least ace level, so I made sure to kill him.
The second Imperial Aerial Magic Knight passed through the flames at that time.
He was flustered, but as he was experienced, he quickly turned around.
You’re trying to get away from me.
You can’t miss it!
[Uses the Tunnel Vision (lv.3) skill.]
[Uses the skill Dynamic Vision (lv.3).]
High level of concentration.
Everything flows slowly.
I could even see thick raindrops before my eyes.
[Use the Body Strengthening (lv.3) skill.]
My rifle is already pointed at the guy.
I aimed at the bastard’s side.
[Use the Penetration (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Fire Burst (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]
Taaaaaaaah!
The bullet flies through the rain.
[Stops Tunnel Vision (lv.3) skill.]
Phew!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Imperial Aerial Magic Knight, engulfed in flames, began to plummet downwards.
The flame of mana is not easily extinguished.
I took out the Peacemaker Monster Sniper Rifle from the Alchemist’s Workshop.
And he aimed at the three air mage knights who were watching their comrades fall down in flames from below.
Aim for the one with the highest mana.
Using penetration and overlapping skills.
Tuaang!
Someone looking up was seen hastily extending his hand and deploying a defensive skill.
Can it really be stopped?
Tsk tsk!
Pfft pfft pfft!
“Eww!”
“Kuaaaah!”
A strong lightning flash spread around, and the three aerial magic knights shivered simultaneously.
You can stop bullets, but you can’t stop the lightning from the lightning spirit bullet.
And the three of them fell down together, belching smoke.
‘On a rainy day, lightning is the best!’
After killing all the Imperial Aerial Magic Knights in the middle, the Aerial Magic Knights gathered further down were visible.
But I don’t see any named ones.
‘Wow, I didn’t fall for the baiting trick!’
Perhaps they are looking for Colonel Bradrick, who is capable of high-altitude flight.
Then I should go down.
I picked up the assault rifle again.
Paaaaang!
Bang! Ta-tang! Ta-ta-ta-tang!
As I go down, the guys who were gathered together open fire at me.
There were no ones around that showed a strong flow of mana.
The five people who chased after me were the strongest ones!
[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]
.
.
[Uses Halo (lv.3) skill.]
Pufferpuck! Pufferpuck!
I aimed my rifle as I passed right through their center.
[Use the Penetration (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Penetration (lv.3) skill.]
Bang! Bang!
“Ugh!”
“Cough!”
Two bullets were fired into the chest.
Most likely he would have died.
Paaaaaaaang!
I headed straight down.
Suddenly, as if it were a lie, the rain stopped.
And then the clouds cleared and the sun began to shine.
Jungle weather······, it’s just unpredictable.
Tata tang! Tata tang!
As we descend, bullets fly.
Our aerial magic knights and the imperial aerial magic knights were fighting each other.
As I went down, Phelps pointed to one side.
“He went over there!”
I know what you mean.
The story was that Colonel Bradrick was being chased by a named knight.
Paaaaang! Paaaaang!
I chased after the named knight.
Even the fastest named knights in the empire couldn’t keep up with me.
I was confident about the speed.
‘found!’
Soon, Colonel Bradrick was seen running desperately, with a named knight chasing after him.
Colonel Bradrick flew away, narrowly avoiding the bullets of a named-class magic knight using an evasion spell.
‘Huh! You said you once looked up to a named person, and you even have evasion skills.’
But it is not something you can avoid forever.
Then I have to catch up with him.
Paaaaang!
‘Your opponent is me!’
Crunch!
Tataang! Tata tatang!
As I fired my gun, the Imperial Aerial Magic Knight looked back.
It feels bad when you chase after someone and then get caught.
Fired a rifle with a powerful explosive skill.
Taang!
Whee!
But the bastard moved his body to the side and spun around sharply to avoid the bullet.
Phew! Hwaaaaah!
Flames raged through the jungle.
‘What a unique evasion skill!’
Evasion skills usually involve jumping to avoid bullets or sliding left and right, but this is the first time I’ve seen an evasion skill that rotates in a circle like that.
In addition, this skill evades and returns to the same spot to continue flying.
And he was still after Colonel Bradrick.
‘Then how about this?’
Paaaaang! Paaaaang!
He increased his speed to maximum and overtook the named knights and even Bradrick.
As I moved forward, Bradrick, who had figured out my intentions, flew straight towards me.
As the distance grew to some extent, I turned around.
He pulled out his Peacemaker sniper rifle.
I have an alchemist’s workshop, so I have free choice of weapons.
This was a huge advantage in air combat.
Load the lightning spirit bullet.
Using penetration and overlapping skills.
aiming!
‘Okay! Try to stop this too!’
