Lord of Training - Chapter 77



Only Krnovel

77. Isn’t that foul play?

“Keep shooting!”

Bang! Tata tang! Bang!

“Kill him!”

Boom! Boom boom!

Hwaaaaah! Crackle!

The explosive skills exploded one after another.

My steel battle doll was knocked down by a bullet, and the steel battle doll in Lieutenant Colonel Nicole’s place was instantly engulfed in electricity and flames.

If we were there right now, we would have died without a trace.

The world is truly cruel.

Dadaak! Phew!

“Cough! Phew!”

Colonel Walters, who was firing his rifle at Lieutenant Colonel Nicol at the very back, had blood spurting from his mouth.

And a sharp sword protruded from his chest.

It’s common sense to deal with the commander first.

It was Lt. Col. Nicole who approached from behind using a stealth skill and attacked.

She had been waiting for this moment, hiding from the beginning without sleeping a wink.

“Yes, sir?”

When their colleagues were hit, everyone turned around with shocked expressions.

It’s even more embarrassing when you dig a trap and then get caught in it.

Now it’s my turn.

Execute the skills Penetration (lv.3), Fire Burst (lv.3), and Stack (lv.3).

Tuaang!

Boom! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Lieutenant Colonel Bart’s body exploded.

And the body fragments flew in all directions, wounding the right shoulder of Lieutenant Martina, who was standing right next to him.

It seemed like there was probably a bone fragment embedded in it.

“Ugh!”

The price of carelessness was this great.

Of course, they thought it was a perfect operation.

Tata tata tang!

“die!”

The wounded Lieutenant Martina fired a machine gun at me.

[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]

[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]

[Use the Air Shield (lv.3) skill.]

[Uses Halo (lv.3) skill.]

I activated my defensive skill even though I had rock cover because I could have been hit by bullets with powerful explosions and overlapping skills, or by blind bullets.

Pufufufu!

Phew! Phew!

None of the bullets she fired reached me.

And Major Mine attacked Lieutenant Colonel Nicole.

Bang! Ta-tang! Bang!

Pot! Dadadak! Swish!

“Kwaaak!”

It was Major Mine screaming with both arms flying away.

Major Mine was the weakest of the four, so he would have been an easy opponent for Lieutenant Colonel Nicole.

Major Mine had awakened many skills and spells, such as healing skills, trap detection skills, buff skills, and evasion skills, but most of them were not attack skills and were not that strong, and Lieutenant Colonel Nicole was unable to avoid them because she used body strengthening and instantaneous acceleration skills.

Thud! Thud!

In the end, Major Mine lost his life to Nicole’s sword.

“shit!”

The last remaining Lieutenant Colonel Martina turned around and ran out of the cave instead of firing her submachine gun.

Paaaaang!

And Lieutenant Colonel Nicole Braschi followed.

Paaaaang!

‘You’re injured, so you can do it alone, right?’

I decided to leave the finishing touches to Lieutenant Colonel Nicole.

If you can’t even handle that much, you should just go out and die.

And I think that kind of revenge would make me feel less hurt.

I first searched through the bodies and luggage of the dead imperial officers.

And I found and took two gravity field generators.

Fortunately, there was no dimensional radio.

If there had been a dimensional radio, I could have reported what was happening here to someone.

Next, I approached the place where the elf magic weapon was.

‘Is there any way to get this right now?’

It looked like it weighed dozens of tons.

Because the entire body was made of steel and it even had two spirit cannons.

However, disassembly was not possible.

The only way was to put in the small dimensional core I had and activate it.

Clearly, they said that if you clear the labyrinth gate, they will send you out with the legacy.

But there were still nine small dimensional cores left, so there was no need to board them yet.

I guess I should leave this here.

‘Wow! They really brought a lot of gorilla monsters.’

On one side there was a mountain of metal waste and shiny objects.

But where did all this trash come from?

Huh? That’s not something you’d find in a jungle!

‘There’s an elf base nearby.’

It was not difficult to infer.

And that meant there was something to be gained.

I found myself smiling without realizing it.

Paaaaang!

I heard Lieutenant Colonel Nicole return.

however!

“What? Why are you carrying a dead person’s head?”

“I thought you might be curious. I caught it.”

She brought up the head of Lieutenant Martina.

There’s no need to show it to me······.

What a strange guy.

“Good job.”

Still, he did not spare his praise.

“We’ve cleaned up here, so let’s go somewhere else.”

“Are you just going to leave that legacy behind?”

“There’s nothing I can do. I can’t just stay here and watch.”

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole nodded.

We moved to another place.

***

A magical weapon brought by a giant gorilla monster.

Because it was so heavy, even the gorilla monster couldn’t lift it and it left a mark on the floor.

So it wasn’t difficult to find the elf base.

“You really have a knack for it.”

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole attempted to approach the base.

“wait!”

“yes?”

I quietly activated my body vision skill, hid between the trees, and looked around.

Parts of the base had been badly damaged long ago and were overgrown with bushes.

There could have been an ambush, or there could have been dimensional monsters living there.

“You go and check the other side of the base, in case there’s an ambush.”

“yes.”

“Be careful.”

“yes!”

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole bowed her head to me, then went down to the ground, used her stealth skill, and disappeared.

After a while.

I turned on the dimension detector.

And I checked if there were any dimensional cores around.

As the detector range slowly increased, a red light began to flash inside the base.

‘I’m the best at treasure hunting.’

Let’s hurry!

Headed inside the base.

Once she sees me taking the dimensional core, it’s no longer mine.

The inside of the base was a mess, as if a monster had invaded.

There were signs of an explosion, and the trees and plants of the jungle were uprooted here and there, indicating that a considerable amount of time had passed.

The red light from the detector was getting closer.

At that moment, a huge tree appeared in the center of the base.

The tree was so large that it reached through the ceiling of the base and its circumference seemed to be several dozen meters.

I’ve seen many big trees in this jungle, but this is the first time I’ve seen one this huge.

‘Where is this······.’

A red light flashed nearby.

‘What the hell is in there?’

It was inside a tree.

I touched the tree.

It was as hard as a rock.

Did you mutate by absorbing dimensional energy?

I have to cut this huge thing down.

I had no tools and no idea how long it would take.

Just then I heard someone approaching.

I put in the dimensional detector and picked up the shotgun.

“You were here.”

It was Lieutenant Colonel Nicole.

“There is no one else nearby.”

I nodded.

“I took a look beforehand, but there wasn’t anything special.”

“There is more heritage in the back.”

“okay?”

We moved towards it.

“These are broken things.”

It wasn’t a legacy.

Those were the things that were a legacy.

This was the front of the base, and there were traces of a fight between dimensional monsters and elf magic armored vehicles.

Of course, there was no such thing as a perfectly healthy gigantic entity.

Most of them were destroyed and more than half buried in the ground, with some broken pieces of the aircraft hanging on trees.

Finding a sound legacy is also a task.

“How many dimensional monsters have swarmed here?”

“Well, I can’t tell just from the traces here.”

We looked around to see if there was any good heritage.

At first glance, a significant number of large weapons were broken.

If that’s the case, then the dimensional monsters were stronger and more numerous.

Still, the elves of this world would have done quite well.

On the other hand, if just a few of the S-rank dimensional dragons I caught come over, the other world will fall into great chaos.

“Huh? Colonel Alain, take a look at this.”

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole called me.

“Could this be a spirit shell?”

“That’s right.”

I found a shell half-buried upside down on one side.

I dug the ground and picked up a spirit shell.

[Spirit Shell (Breath of Boares) – Contains the cold breath of Boares, the ice spirit of the north wind.

Shell Material: Dragon Bone.

Upon impact, the shell splits and Boares’ powerful cold energy surges forth. (Cold range 50 meters)]

The shell was about 40cm in size, but it was incredibly heavy.

So, the orbital giant can only carry 24 missiles.

Just then, a spirit shell with a pointed head popped out from the side.

And a spirit cannon was also seen buried nearby.

Now I see, this place was a field of spirit shells.

I have to take care of all of this······.

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole noticed.

“it’s okay.”

“what?”

“Even if you take it, I won’t tell anyone.”

“okay?”

“Although I am a member of the Atlan Kingdom Army, I am not loyal to Atlan. I am only helping to fight the Empire. And Colonel Alain is my savior.”

“Ah! Well, if it weren’t for me, those guys would have taken advantage of me yesterday.”

I chuckled.

If I hadn’t joined yesterday, Lieutenant Colonel Nicole would have died screaming in the middle of the night.

“No, I know you saved me that day in the capital of the Kingdom of Lutes.”

“What? You were conscious.”

In the past, the 2nd Army Corps had captured the city of Ferring and advanced north to besiege Loire, the capital of the Kingdom of Lutes.

At that time, just before the general attack, we infiltrated the capital and, with Evolod’s help, took a lot of gold and elven heritage from the subspace warehouse of Princess Stella.

And during our escape from the capital, while chasing the Seven Princesses’ transport plane, we met a named-class aerial magic knight and rescued Lieutenant Colonel Nicole, who was badly injured.

In fact, we didn’t want to save her because it was a secret that no one knew that we had entered the capital to steal the elven heritage, but since she was unconscious, we treated her and left her in the care of a family.

But if you were conscious, you would know everything.

And we didn’t tell anyone that we saw them.

‘It was worth saving my life.’

“I was really grateful at that time.”

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole bowed her head to me.

“But he was a comrade who fought alongside me, so I couldn’t just leave.”

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole suddenly put her fist to her chest.

“Once I exit the labyrinth gate, I would like to join the colonel’s unit.”

“what?”

“Please.”

What the heck is going on here?

“What is the reason?”

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole looked embarrassed and unable to answer.

When I looked at her face, I thought I knew why.

She was not from the kingdom of Atlan.

Although he was very skilled, he must have been discriminated against among the 7th Mobile Corps’ Aerial Magic Knights, many of whom were of Atlan noble descent.

“refuse.”

“yes?”

I said firmly.

Her skill level was similar to mine now, so if she joined my air squadron, it would be a significant increase in strength.

but.

“I have no interest in your revenge. And I don’t know if you’ve heard the rumor, but the aerial magic knights in the unit I lead are loyal to me, not the Atlan Kingdom. So when I leave the Atlan Army, they will leave as well.”

I told you the truth.

“I know that.”

“And you still want to come to our unit?”

“Yes. There is no place for me in the unit I am currently in. I am excluded from important missions, and my opinions are ignored. When we lost the 7th princess of the empire in the capital of Lutes that day, I said that I thought the transport ship was suspicious and that we should pursue it to the end, but my superior ignored me. I had no choice but to pursue it alone and ended up getting injured.”

As expected, she was being discriminated against.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t need any agents who don’t follow their superiors’ orders.”

“If Colonel Alain had been the commander in the first place, he would have figured out the enemy’s intentions in advance and captured the Seven Princesses. So there would have been no need for me to pursue them alone. And under Colonel Alain’s command, I think I will be able to kill more Imperial troops.”

“You overestimate me.”

“It’s been two years. In just two years, you’ve risen to a higher rank than me, and you’ve already distinguished yourself in many great battles. And last night, when I dealt with the many Imperial Aerial Magic Knights, I’ve already made up my mind.”

Her expression looked determined.

And it was a look of confidence.

Well, I guess I’m a pretty good commander.

“If you join me, ten lives won’t be enough. Dangerous missions are my specialty.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“If you refuse my orders, I’ll kick you out right away. Are you still going to do it?”

“Yes! If you give me a chance, I will do my best.”

I chuckled.

“Okay! Let’s talk to the higher-ups.”

“Thank you very much!”

She saluted me.

I accepted the salute.

Most likely she will come to our unit.

And her boss might be happy that his tooth is gone.

“Hey, do you dig a little bit?”

“yes?”

“Digging is a basic military skill. It’ll take some effort to dig up all the spirit shells around here.”

For a moment, her eyes wavered.

***

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole and I dug through the entire area for six days, finding 16 fire spirit shells, 6 lightning spirit shells, and 11 ice spirit shells.

Lieutenant Nicole was very good at digging the ground because she had many physical strengthening skills and stamina-related skills.

Although you won’t use it right away, these spirit shells may come in handy someday.

I heard that most of my battalion members and the aerial magic knights have joined.

The same was true for the Imperial Army and the Aerial Magic Knights.

And someone had found a small dimensional core, with the count going up to 8 on the status screen.

Now if we find just two more, one condition will be cleared.

We continued to move to one side.

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole asked.

“Captain, where do you plan to go?”

“Until something comes out.”

Now, I had no choice.

And there’s no map.

Still, this one will be correct.

Because S-class dimensional dragons were seen frequently, and A-class monsters also appeared more frequently.

So we were moving into increasingly more dangerous territory.

Phew! Kwaaaaang!

Not far away, black smoke rose along with a loud noise.

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole and I hid behind a large tree.

We moved towards the sound.

And I found it!

A gigantic scorpion-shaped S-class dimensional monster that appears to be 130 meters long!

And we also saw five named aerial magic knights fighting a giant scorpion monster.

Pot! Papapapot!

But from the scorpion monster’s tail, poisonous stingers were being fired like a machine gun.

‘Isn’t it against the rules to attack from a distance at that size?’
