Lord of Training - Chapter 78



Only Krnovel

78. That’s not a good idea.

Five regular aerial magic knights can take on an ace-level aerial magic knight.

Four Ace-class Aerial Magic Knights can take on an Elite-class Aerial Magic Knight.

So how many elite-level aerial magic knights would be needed to deal with a named-level aerial magic knight?

‘They’re monsters!’

Bang! Papapapang!

High-speed flight techniques are basic.

An acceleration skill that seems to disappear momentarily during the overlapping technique.

There’s even a sharp turn there.

Named-class aerial magic knights that are hard to follow with the eyes!

“It’s hard to follow the movements.”

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole bit her lip.

Since the aerial magic knights who used swords had good eyesight, Lieutenant Colonel Nicole was able to follow the movements of the named class with difficulty.

However, elite-level aerial magic knights usually cannot properly see the movements of named-level knights.

In that case, no matter how many people rush in, they won’t be able to defeat a named player.

This is where the saying that a named class can only fight another named class comes from.

I couldn’t follow their movements properly either.

but.

[Uses the skill Dynamic Vision (lv.1).]

Now I can see it properly!

Thinking back, it was a stroke of genius to catch an S-class dimensional dragon and awaken its rare spell.

That was it!

As the giant scorpion monster’s stinger was fired, a woman stood in its way.

Tank! Tae tae tae tae taeng!

‘Ice shield?’

“You’re the witch of the cold!”

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole said as he looked at the five-meter-tall circular ice wall that appeared in mid-air.

“That woman is Brigadier General Roen of the Republic of Arica.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

But I studied a bit recently, so I recognized him right away just by hearing his skills and nickname. There were only about 20 named-level magic knights in the entire world.

Brigadier General Roen had been warned never to engage with anyone near the water.

If there are levels to shield skills, the Ice Shield (lv3) skill she uses is by far the highest level defensive skill.

Her solid ice crystals provide superior physical defense.

Right now, it’s enough to block the stinger of that S-class scorpion monster.

As Brigadier General Roen withdrew his outstretched hand, the ice shield fell down.

She was now suspended in mid-air.

‘It’s not a skill that can be used while moving.’

Paaaaang!

Brigadier General Roen used his high-speed flight skill and aimed his rifle at the scorpion monster.

Bang! Ta-tang! Bang!

A white light flashed as the bullet flew by.

Thud! Thud thud!

“Kuaaaa!”

Zzz! Zzz! Zzz!

When the bullet hit the scorpion monster’s back, an area about a meter around the bullet froze.

That’s an ice bullet (lv.3).

Since most of the named-level information was open, I thought I could tell what kind of skill it was just by looking at the phenomenon.

But that level of attack wasn’t enough to damage an S-class monster.

“But why do you give such a strange nickname to a named-level magic knight?”

“The Witch of the Cold? It’s not a nickname, it’s a nickname. Maybe it’s meant to be scary?”

It seems completely useless······.

Still, it was memorable because her nickname and the skill she used matched well.

“Then that person must be the director of the Light Spear, Erance.”

“yes.”

An Imperial named-class aerial magic knight who shoots a rifle and flies while carrying three 1.5m long spears on his back.

I heard that the rifle was actually just a gauntlet, and that he could freely move the spear behind his back to attack the enemy.

The specialty of the Erance Commander was concentration magic, and his skill was metal manipulation (lv. 3).

I wanted to see how he used his skills, but he didn’t have his spear out yet.

One of the five was from our side.

Brigadier General Chuck Killgarven.

The youngest major and youngest brigadier general in the Atlan Kingdom.

I had already broken the record for youngest major, and it was only a matter of time before I became youngest brigadier general.

And he was the eldest son of Glen Kilgaven, the lord of the manor of Tafeld, our neighbour.

I heard that, unlike me, he grew up hearing from a young age that he was a genius.

Of course, I’m more of a genius now.

“What is Brigadier General Chuck Kilgar’s nickname?”

“I am the Shadow Knight.”

“Ah! I remember.”

It seemed like he got that nickname because he had a fast flight speed and the evasion technique called Shadow Acceleration (lv.3).

And there was also a guy who was like a parasite brother who was flirting with Major Audrey.

Brigadier General Michael Collins, the rising star of the Arica Republic.

His nickname is Hellfire!

The reason he got that nickname was because the gun he shot actually shot fireballs.

This was because the fireball was added with the explosive spell skill, Karma (lv. 3), to the bullet.

The named magic knights gathered here all had distinct characteristics.

“Then my nickname, or rather my given name, is Dragon Slayer?”

“yes?”

“No.”

Come to think of it, I don’t think anyone has ever seen a dragon caught.

It wasn’t even a named level yet.

When I became a named person, this was the name I wanted to hear.

“Who is that Imperial Aerial Magic Knight over there?”

There were now two Imperial Knights, two Arica Knights, and one Atlan Knight.

There was absolutely no information about the Last Empire’s named knights.

“He is a brigadier general. I heard he was promoted to named rank not long ago, but I don’t have any more information yet.”

If so, he was someone you should look at closely.

Of course, I am keeping a close eye on the movements of all the named knights.

Because we might fight someday.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

Three hellfire blasts flew and embedded themselves in the scorpion monster’s back.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

Hwaaaaaaaah!

As the flame explosions continued, the scorpion’s black back turned red.

Brigadier General Michael’s skills were quite good.

“Concentrate your attack there!”

Chief Erance shouted.

Ta-tang! Bang! Bang!

Named knights concentrated their attacks on the scorpion’s back.

At that moment, sparks flashed from the magic circle that appeared in front of the Imperial Brigadier General Gargin’s rifle.

Is it lightning?

But at that moment, another magic circle overlapped, adding sparks to the lightning.

‘Electricity and fire combined?’

Is that also a nested spell?

It was a skill I saw for the first time.

Tuan!

BANG! Crackle! Hwaaaaah!

Flames and lightning simultaneously struck the scorpion monster’s back.

At that moment, a spear on the back of the psychokinesis master Erance flew up.

Shaeaaak!

The window flew vertically, emitting white light.

Crunch!

“Kuaaaaah!”

The spear pierced the scorpion monster and others.

The bastard let out a howl of pain.

They weren’t even using the elven heritage right now, and were unleashing tremendous firepower with just their guns and their own skills.

As expected, the named level was strong.

Then the giant scorpion monster raised its tail.

It’s like trying to shoot a poisonous needle.

The named knights scattered in an instant.

But instead of attacking, the scorpion monster started to run away.

‘A S-class dimensional monster escaped?’

Well, the compatibility isn’t good.

Because the only thing the scorpion monster could attack in the air was its stinger.

“Stop it!”

“Stop him from going into the desert!”

Named knights chased after and attacked the scorpion monster.

Desert? What are you talking about?

I went up high.

On one side, the jungle ended and beyond that, an endless desert spread out.

The scorpion monster will hide in the sand if it goes to the desert, so I’m desperately stinging it.

“Is there a problem?”

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole came up and asked.

“Follow me!”

“yes!”

Paaaaang! Paaaaang!

A scorpion monster runs into the desert, knocking down trees in the jungle.

Normally, I would have arrived at the desert long ago, but as the named knights kept attacking my legs and back from behind, my speed slowed down.

I moved first in the direction that Lieutenant Colonel Nicole and the scorpion monster were moving.

And he took out a spirit shell (the breath of Boares).

“What are you going to do with this?”

“To drop it on that guy.”

“Will this explode?”

“There is a force of gravity. And if you and I work together, we can accelerate even further.”

If you get the timing right, it will definitely be effective.

“A little to the right! No, to the left!”

Thud! Kukukukung!

A giant scorpion monster was seen approaching through the jungle.

I moved little by little while looking at the bastard’s direction.

You only get one chance.

“Use the body strengthening skill, and when you count to three, push down with force!”

“yes!”

In an instant, a scorpion monster arrived nearby.

[Use the Body Strengthening (lv.3) skill.]

“One, two, three! Push!”

I pushed the spirit shell down with all my might.

WHEEK! THUNK!

But I couldn’t hit the guy.

Phew! Phew!

Zzz! Zzzzzzz! Zzzzzzz!

A cold storm swept across the area 50 meters away, instantly freezing the ground and the scorpion monster’s legs.

‘done!’

If they followed, the named knights would not miss this opportunity.

“Shoot!”

“Aim for the back!”

Bang! Tata tang! Bang!

Boom! Boom! Puff puff!

[Use the Penetration (lv.3) skill.]

[Use the Fire Burst (lv.3) skill.]

[Use the Overlap (lv.3) skill.]

Bang! Bang! Kwaang!

I also fired my pistol and added as much firepower as possible.

That way, you can gain at least some experience points.

Soon a large hole appeared in the scorpion monster’s back.

He didn’t have much time left as he was critically injured.

“Kueeek!”

Boom! Kookook!

A giant scorpion measuring 130 meters in length has fallen.

“Cease fire!”

Chief Erance shouted.

There was no need to shoot more since my experience level had increased.

I joined late, but I’ve already leveled up by 1.

Next to her, Lieutenant Colonel Nicole smacked her lips with regret.

She couldn’t swing her sword even once.

At that time, Brigadier General Michael of the Republic of Arica flew towards the monster.

And then he took out a small dimensional core from the monster’s ruptured stomach.

[Clear Conditions: Obtain the Small Dimensional Core (9/10), Activate the Last Legacy of the Lost World with the Small Dimensional Core (0/10)]

The count went up.

Now if we find just one more thing, the first condition will be cleared.

“You guys helped me.”

“insect!”

We saluted Brigadier General Chuck Kilgarvan.

“What happened?”

I glanced at the Imperial Named-level knights and asked.

“As you all know, S-class dimensional monsters are not easy to kill. And when you kill an S-class monster, they say there is a small dimensional core inside, so we have been working together to kill the monster. This is the fifth time.”

That meant they had found five dimensional cores.

“You hunted five of them. That’s amazing.”

Brigadier General Chuck Killgarven shook his head.

“It wasn’t an easy task. It was only possible because we avoided the Dimensional Dragon and only hunted S-class monsters on the ground.”

They didn’t miss out on the merits of being an aerial magician.

And now we just need to catch one more and it’s over.

“By the way, what was that shell just now?”

“We also discovered one a while ago. It’s called a spirit shell and is used for the final legacy.”

“Have you found your last legacy?”

“I found them, but they were all broken.”

“That’s too bad.”

At that moment, Brigadier General Michael and Brigadier General Roen approached.

“Our coalition forces have increased in number.”

Brigadier General Michael looked at me and winked slightly.

You dirty bastard!

We may not be of much help in the fight between the named knights, but the expressions of the imperial knights were not good because there were two more elite-level magic knights.

Besides, we were on guard since we just easily took down the monster with our help.

“First, let me say hello.”

We had a brief greeting with the Imperial Knights.

“The sun is setting. Let’s head to the hideout first.”

They headed to the cave where they were originally hiding.

Even the named knights said they never went out at night because it was dangerous.

And since this cave had multiple entrances, there were many directions to escape to.

‘Are we sleeping with the enemy again······.’

Is it because of us?

They barely spoke to each other.

Chuck Killgarven told me that they rarely talk outside of hunting.

And everyone was seated quite far apart.

It’s a matter of not trusting each other.

Chuck Kilgaven said he had been living alone in a corner all this time.

And he said there was no need to worry about food, because Brigadier General Roen of the Republic of Arica would hand out canned food from the subspace warehouse.

After a quick canned meal, Brigadier General Chuck Kilgarten returned to his corner seat with us.

“What were you talking about just now?”

As soon as we finished eating, I saw Brigadier General Michael approach Brigadier General Chuck Kilgarvan and have a brief conversation.

I asked because Brigadier General Chuck’s expression suddenly became serious.

Brigadier General Chuck looked around and then spoke quietly.

“He asked if we could join forces and deal with the Imperial Knights tonight, since we only need to find one more small dimensional core.”

“What did you say?”

“The Imperial Knight has come closer, but has not yet answered.”

I shook my head slightly.

“That’s not a good idea.”

“What do you mean? Attacking the Imperial Knights?”

“yes.”

“I think we have one more person in our numbers, and you’ve joined us, so I think it would be better to end it here, even if it’s difficult. If they take the small dimensional core and the last legacy, it’ll end up being disadvantageous for us.”

“That’s true, but it’s not just the Empire that’s at stake here.”

“what?”

Brigadier General Chuck tilted his head.

“If we kill the Imperial Knights, what will you do with the dimensional cores we took from the Empire?”

“Of course we should share them one by one.”

“Would you tolerate that? They have two named knights, and we only have Brigadier General Chuck.”

“······?”

“If they attack, it will be us who suffer.”

“But aren’t we an allied force?”

I told Brigadier General Chuck in detail what had happened on the southern continent.

Brigadier General Chuck also had a serious expression on his face when he heard that the Republic could also turn against us depending on the situation.

“In the end, they will only think of taking more dimensional cores. And if we die, all the witnesses and evidence will disappear.”

“Well, that could be the case.”

“It would be better to reject it as too risky. Then, even though it is precarious, the alliance will be maintained.”

“I think I’d better do as you say.”

It was fortunate that Brigadier General Chuck wasn’t a very closed-minded person.

***

The next morning.

Lieutenant Colonel Nicole, who was on night watch, woke me up.

“The Imperial Knights just left the cave in secret.”

“You guys are quick-witted.”

They are not stupid either, so they felt that the atmosphere yesterday was strange.

It wasn’t a bad thing for us.

Since they were alive, they could hide and attack.

So, the Arika Knights will not attack us even to secure numerical superiority.

“And there are more than 10 small dimensional cores in the status window.”

“what?”

I immediately opened the status window.
