Lord of Training - Chapter 73
Only Krnovel
73. I am a hunter!
Choaaaak! Chourilic!
Suddenly, something like a white net flew in from below.
Paaaaang!
I went higher in high-speed flight.
I didn’t even have time to look closely at the mission status window.
Just now, something like white spider web shot out from the mouth of a giant spider monster.
however.
‘Cobwebs rise this high?’
It looked at least 200 meters away.
I went up a little further.
And I looked at the giant spider monster through the status window.
[Aranek (Grade A) – Mainly lives in the jungle and preys on living things with sticky webs. Adult Araneks grow up to 30 meters long and have poor eyesight, relying mainly on hearing and touch.]
Attacking as soon as a Class A monster enters!
This place was hell after all.
I heard the dimensional radio.
Chi-chik!
“It’s the battalion commander! Is everyone okay?”
Chi-chik!
– This is Phelps.
“Oh! You’re safe.”
I felt relieved to hear the welcoming voice.
Chi-chik!
“Where is it?”
– This place is all desert.
“The desert? What about the other members?”
– There’s no one around. What the heck is going on?
“It seems like as soon as you enter, they just scatter and fall randomly.”
– Is that possible?
possible.
When I was studying to become a hunter on Earth, I also studied about gates. As soon as I entered, there was a gate that randomly fell down.
It seemed like the S-class labyrinth gate here was the same way.
‘There was a reason why it wasn’t cleared for 30 years!’
What good would it be if ten thousand people came in? If they couldn’t start together, they would just be defeated one by one.
Chi-chik!
“First, look for other agents in the sky! And be careful. There are dimensional monsters everywhere.”
– Okay, I understand. I’ll keep looking.
Why don’t the other squadron leaders have radios?
Chi-chik!
– This is Cameron.
“Huh? Why are you on the radio?”
– Tata-tang! The Major and I are fighting a monster.
“Battle? Let’s secure our safety first!”
– Yes! I’ll get back to you shortly. Tatang!
Gunshots continued to be heard over the radio.
Still, Major Audrey and Sergeant Cameron were together.
I looked around.
Below, the giant black spider was still staring at me, and I had no idea where I was.
I also need to secure a safe area first.
A large rock mountain appeared nearby.
Paaaaang!
It flew over the rocky mountain at high speed.
Fortunately, there were no monsters to be seen here.
I took a break in a crevice between rocks to catch my breath and checked the mission status window.
[Lost World Slayer (S-Rank)]
[Mission: Find a countermeasure to stop the slayer from invading other dimensions by creating a dimensional gate!]
I had a headache from the first mission.
There’s someone who creates dimensional gates? And invades other dimensions······.
Is this possible?
Well, if I were to use the dimensional gate generator I have now to create a dimensional gate from the monster-infested dimension to the world I live in, it would be very difficult.
In the past, when a huge gate was created on the southern continent, there was a war with the orcs and two kingdoms disappeared from the map.
But it required a huge dimensional core.
But what good does that do?
I continued reading the message.
‘Find a countermeasure to stop the murderer?’
When entering the previous D-class labyrinth gate, the mission was to find a countermeasure to stop the dimensional monster.
The countermeasure was none other than the dimensional core.
So I found three small dimensional cores and cleared the gate.
And this time.
[Clear Conditions: Obtain the Small Dimensional Core (0/10), Activate the Last Legacy of the Lost World with the Small Dimensional Core (0/10)]
The goal was to secure 10 dimensional cores and activate the last legacy.
But how do we secure the dimensional core?
By any chance, are you catching an S-class monster?
If so, at least 10 of them had to be caught.
‘You’re crazy!’
I think I know for sure why I couldn’t clear this labyrinth gate for so long.
Even if a lot of aerial magic knights and 10,000 soldiers come in, how can they catch an S-class monster when they are scattered like this?
This gate wasn’t made to be broken.
‘I can’t leave behind the subordinates I worked so hard to raise······.’
I’ve heard it a lot over the past two years.
I was able to escape because I had a dimensional gate generator, but I couldn’t escape alone because all my subordinates were scattered.
It seemed like the first thing I had to do was find the team members.
and.
[When the gate is cleared, the survivors will automatically return outside the gate with their legacy within 24 hours.]
There is no need to look for an exit.
They said that if you clear it, they’ll send you out the gate.
Maybe there isn’t an exit gate at all.
[Hint: The final relics are located on old battlefields throughout the Lost World.]
The last hint is about heritage, so let’s think about it later.
Chi-chik!
– This is Lieutenant Herman. I’m finally transmitting from the radio after being chased by the monster.
“Is it safe now?”
– yes!
“Search the area and look for the agents! And be very careful, as you may encounter dimensional monsters or imperial troops.”
– Yes. I will contact you again.
Still, it was fortunate that our battalion members were aviation magic knights.
Because I was able to dodge into the air.
It was terrifying to imagine what had happened to the infantrymen now.
This wasn’t a clear concept, it was a survival gate!
A moment later, Lieutenant Kalin also radioed in.
He also said that he was flying alone over the forest.
Fortunately, all the squadron leaders were alive.
‘I should go find the members too!’
I turned on the dimension detector.
This is why I gave each member an elven heritage.
The detection range was 3km, so even if they entered the gate and dispersed, I could easily find them.
It would be nice if it was nearby······.
“uh?”
A huge red light approaches quickly.
I poked my head over the rock.
And the curse rose to my throat.
“Kkiiiii!”
The thing flying here with huge wings is an S-rank dimensional dragon.
Fuck!
I squeezed my body as tightly as I could into the crevice of the rock.
When it spread its wings, they seemed to be 200 meters long.
Swish! Crunch! Crunch!
The dragon landed on the rocky mountain.
This was the highest point in the area.
So this was a place like an observation deck for the guy to look for prey.
‘Damn it, why did I have to hide······!’
But it is said that there is darkness under the lamp.
He didn’t care about what was beneath his feet, he was just scanning the jungle.
After all, what kind of crazy monster would hide in a dragon hunting ground, especially under a dragon’s feet?
The problem is that even the sky is no longer a safe zone.
And it was clear that this guy was the ruler of this jungle area.
There was no sign of where the big monsters in the jungle were hiding.
Pot! Pop!
The dragon leaped, flapping its huge wings.
And then he flew straight towards the jungle.
I watched his actions closely.
The Dimensional Dragon circled in the air and suddenly dove down.
Wheeeeeeing!
Bang! Boom!
The dragon just slashed at a giant aranek that was trying to eat me.
“Kuaaaaak!”
Aranek shot webs and moved her eight legs desperately, but the dragon’s two sturdy legs that were crushing the spider monster’s torso did not move.
Aranek’s legs, which had been thrashing around like crazy, were stretched out.
The bastard is dead.
“Kkiiiii!”
The Dimensional Dragon roared in celebration of the successful hunt.
The creature slowly began to eat the spider monster, starting with its head.
‘So, to get out of this labyrinth gate, I have to hunt that guy?’
Ten of those too?
For a moment, goosebumps ran down my spine in fear.
He gritted his teeth and shook his head.
There must be some way.
I came back alive from the abyss!
I had no intention of giving up here.
Somehow I come back alive.
Of course, take all the members with you.
Until then, everyone, just stay alive.
Paaaaang! Paaaaang!
‘uh?’
High speed flight?
From somewhere, the sound of wind generated when using a high-speed flight skill could be heard.
This was clearly an aviation magic article.
Where are you? Where are you?
I looked up and searched everywhere, as I found traces of humans for the first time.
‘found!’
The one wearing the black uniform was an Imperial Airborne Magic Knight.
But since humans are better than dimensional monsters, we joined forces······.
But it wasn’t far from where the dragon was eating.
It was also gradually moving towards the dragon.
‘Crazy damage!’
I couldn’t scream.
My location could have been revealed.
No, it’s too far away to hear.
And it’s already too late.
The dragon spread its huge wings and soared into the sky.
The surprised Imperial Airborne Knight flew in the opposite direction.
Paaaaang!
“Kkiiia!”
Choaaaah!
The Dimensional Dragon chased the Imperial Magic Knight.
Paaaaang!
Tata tang! Tata tang!
The Imperial Magic Knight fired his submachine gun at the back.
The dragon was so big that I got hit every time I shot, but it didn’t seem to have much effect. Furthermore, the bullets didn’t penetrate its wings either.
And it didn’t slow down at all.
‘Wrong! I’ll get caught.’
Paaaaang!
The magic knight narrowly avoided the dragon’s teeth by flying at high speed while turning to the side.
Just looking at his skills, it was clear that the Aerial Magic Knight was elite level.
It seemed clear that he would be caught, but he continued to dodge well with his high-speed flight skills.
‘Ah! The direction change is not quick enough!’
The dragon’s wings were so large that it could follow the aerial magic knight closely with just a few flaps of its wings.
But the change of direction was slow.
Then, if good weapons and aerial magic knights attacked together, it was possible to capture it.
Yeah! He’s not invincible either!
I had the movements of the Imperial Airborne Magic Knights and Dragons memorized in my head.
‘Why are you coming this way?’
The aerial magic knight flew to the rock mountain where I was hiding.
Then he went down into the jungle and hid.
It seems that because I kept using the high-speed flight technique, I was running out of mana.
Still, it’s a good plan.
What should I do if I can’t see it?
“Crunch! Crunch!”
At that moment, the nape of the Dimensional Dragon’s neck began to swell.
no way?
When the nape of his neck had swelled to about twice its size, the bastard opened his mouth wide.
Hwaaaaaaaah!
Kookwakwakwakwakwakwang!
The fierce flames engulfed everything around in an instant.
Trees, jungles, air magic, and knights.
‘Please don’t go into the abyss.’
I prayed for the soul of the Imperial Magic Knight who had been reduced to a handful of ashes.
Thanks to his sacrifice, we’ve just discovered some important information.
With one breath, an area around 700 to 800 meters was scorched.
It took five seconds for the bastard to puff out his neck and breathe.
So, unless you are confident that you can get 800 meters away in 5 seconds, avoiding trees and bushes, never hide on the ground.
“Kkiiiii!”
The Dimensional Dragon roared and flew back towards its prey.
Then he picked up the remaining spider monster and flew towards the rock mountain where I was.
I don’t think he wants to be interrupted while eating anymore.
Boom! Boom!
Unfortunately, one of the spider’s legs was covering the crevice in the rock where I was hiding, so I couldn’t see above very well.
All I could hear was the dragon’s roar.
Kookung! Kookung!
Suddenly my heart started pounding wildly.
Isn’t this how a hunter feels when he finds a tasty prey?
“Hoo! Hoo!”
He was breathing low and fast.
Right now, at this moment, as if by magic, my fear fades away and I am filled with an unspeakable excitement.
After killing an A-class dimensional monster in a D-class labyrinth gate, my level increased tremendously, and my magic knight rank skyrocketed from D-class to B-class.
If I kill an S-rank dimensional monster, how much experience will I gain?
Leveling up a few levels is basic, and the Magic Knight rank will also rise to A rank.
And even the awakening technique!
Then I will be one step closer to becoming a named-class aerial magic knight.
There, the alchemist level will also increase.
Just thinking about it made my heart beat twice as fast.
And the only thought that came to my mind was how to kill that monster in front of me.
‘Let’s do it! I can do it! I can do it!’
He carefully took out his Peacemaker sniper rifle and set it up in a crevice in the rock.
And then he slowly loaded the remaining lightning spirit bullet.
Crunch!
The preparations are complete.
And then I waited quietly, holding my breath.
A skilled hunter knows how to wait for his opportunity.
An opportunity like this will never come again.
Crunch! Crunch!
Wow! You eat so fucking slowly.
I wanted to quickly grab my gun and blow his head off.
‘How did the hunters tolerate this?’
Waiting is the cornerstone of a perfect hunt.
If I don’t seize the perfect opportunity, I will be the one who suffers.
Then a spider’s legs fluttered above me.
The bastard is eating my leg.
[Use the Body Strengthening (lv.2) skill.]
I heard about the peace maker.
And he stuck his gun out next to the spider’s legs.
[Use the Penetration (lv.3) skill.]
[Use the Fire Burst (lv.2) skill.]
[Use the Overlap (lv.2) skill.]
At that moment, the spider’s legs rose up.
The Dimensional Dragon was devouring one leg with gusto, drooling.
I aimed the peacemaker at the bastard’s mouth.
‘Not yet!’
My heart was pounding like crazy, but my arms and fingertips were calmer than ever.
The creature swallowed the entire leg and opened its mouth to tear off the spider’s leg next to it.
I pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Tuaaaang!
Because I’m a hunter!
