Lord of Training - Chapter 79
Only Krnovel
79. The last winner.
[Clear Conditions: Obtain the Small Dimensional Core (13/10), Activate the Last Legacy of the Lost World with the Small Dimensional Core (2/10)]
During the night, four dimensional cores were added.
13? Who the hell found them?
What is certain is that it was not found by hunting an S-class dimensional monster.
It was an S-rank monster that could only be caught by five named-rank magic knights. Furthermore, they couldn’t even think of catching a dimensional dragon, and they could only catch monsters that couldn’t fly.
But catching four at once was impossible.
So, they must have found it in some military factory or secret laboratory.
Now that I look at it, there are two Legacies in operation!
“When did the numbers increase?”
“The Imperial Knights left a little while ago, and when I checked the status window, they were up.”
Then Brigadier General Chuck Killgarven stood up.
“What’s going on?”
“The Imperial Knights have left. And it looks like someone has found several mini-dimensional cores at once.”
“what?”
Chuck Killgarven also checked the status window.
“Then, now we just need to find the last eight legacies.”
“Perhaps the Imperial Knights moved after checking the status window first.”
Chuck Killgarven nodded.
“Would it be better to continue moving together with the Arika Knights?”
I think he was asking because there was something he heard from me yesterday.
“I think it would be best for us to part ways and find the inheritance. After all, we need to secure the inheritance to be able to exit the maze gate.”
“Okay. I’ll go and tell the Arika knights.”
“No. We also need to move secretly now.”
“Are you saying we should go without saying anything?”
“yes.”
They might be after the dimensional core we have.
Even though they were the Allied Forces, they were people who could point guns at them at any time for their own benefit.
Of course we could have done that too.
“And please give me the dimensional core.”
“what?”
“I have a subspace warehouse. I can store the dimensional cores safely there.”
“Ah! I see.”
Chuck Killgarven handed me a miniature dimensional core.
Right now, the only people we could trust here were the Atlan Kingdom Army.
We quietly went out the opposite passageway where the Republic Knights were.
A battle of wits has begun.
No, it might be a fight against time.
Since I didn’t know the situation inside the Labyrinth Gate, I had no idea who found the Dimensional Core and where they found the final Legacy.
What was certain was that five named knights had found it.
So they too will move to find their heritage and put it into operation.
“Are we going to the desert?”
“Yes. We have already examined the jungle area carefully when we came here. If there is a good heritage, it will be on the other side.”
“Okay. Since you have a subspace warehouse, the desert won’t matter.”
***
We flew over the desert at maximum altitude.
Brigadier General Chuck had the Metal Detection (lv. 3) skill, so with a little bit of lying he could find a needle in a haystack.
The detection distance was long, but the detection range was narrow, so if you didn’t look carefully here and there, you might miss something, so even now, you’re constantly scanning the desert.
The sun was so hot that it went down for a while.
I took out a sunshade from the alchemist’s workshop, spread it out, and rested under it for a while.
“Phew! I guess this isn’t a desert after all.”
Brigadier General Chuck blinked his eyes repeatedly as if they were sore.
“Then we will have to cross the desert.”
“I can’t see where it ends.”
“It’s okay. There’s plenty of drinking water and plenty of food.”
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have even thought of it.”
Suddenly, Lieutenant Colonel Nicole looked up at the sky and grabbed the handle of her sword.
“Something is coming.”
We went out of the shade.
I re-activated my body vision skill, and Brigadier General Chuck re-activated his metal detection skill.
“It’s a metal reaction. Something is definitely coming.”
We checked our weapons.
And then he flew into the air and stood guard.
“uh?”
Tears welled up in my eyes at the sight of a familiar face.
It was the Duke of Harry Russell.
I was worried because I had set up a death flag the day before entering the labyrinth gate, but fortunately it was not.
But you’re not alone?
No! I was being chased by someone.
Chuck! Chuck!
We aimed our rifles.
“This way!”
He shouted at Archduke Harry.
Paaaaang! Paaaaang!
“Gasp! Gasp!”
Archduke Harry gasped for breath.
“Damn it! I almost died.”
“Are you okay?”
“Are there any guns left?”
I took out a shotgun from the workshop.
Archduke Harry looked at me with a slightly surprised expression.
As soon as he received the gun, he turned around and aimed it.
And there was Brigadier General Enhardt, the Empire’s greatest aerial magic knight.
Enhardt’s expression was not good.
“Come on! Alain, take this!”
Archduke Harry handed me the bag he was carrying on his back.
“What is it?”
“This is the small dimensional core I found.”
“yes?”
“Watch out! There are three of them.”
I put the dimensional core into the workshop.
As the bag disappeared into thin air, Enhardt frowned.
Now the author can’t kill me.
Because when I die, the dimensional core disappears too.
It seemed that Archduke Harry knew that too and left the job to me.
“Hahaha! You little brat! What are you going to do now?”
Archduke Harry provoked Enhardt.
I feel alive because I have allies.
We had the advantage because we had Brigadier General Chuck.
That doesn’t mean we can kill Enhardt though.
That was it!
Paaaaang! Paaaaang!
They say enemies meet on a single-log bridge!
The Empire’s named-class aerial magic knights, Major General Erance and Brigadier General Gargin, flew in.
The two men stood next to Brigadier General Enhardt.
“It seems like the tables have turned now, old man!”
“what?”
If we fought right away as he said, it was a fight we couldn’t win.
Even if Brigadier General Chuck could deal with one, Archduke Harry would have a hard time dealing with one.
Of course, I had the ability to run away.
The problem is that Lieutenant Colonel Nicole and I can’t deal with one person.
Besides, I heard that Brigadier General Enhardt once fought two named-level knights by himself.
“If you hand over the dimensional core without hesitation, I will spare your life.”
Brigadier General N said.
“What if you don’t like it?”
“Then, I guess we’ll have to see blood here.”
“At least one of you will not be safe.”
Harry said with a frown.
“It doesn’t matter if I kill you all, it’s a profitable business.”
It was a tense situation.
But I just chuckled.
“What’s funny?”
“We have reinforcements, too.”
“What? Reinforcements?”
Paaaaang! Paaaaang!
As soon as I finished speaking, two Arika named knights joined us.
The two men had been following us since we came out of the cave.
Since I couldn’t shake them off anyway, I just left them alone.
“Are our allied forces being threatened now?”
Said the sly Brigadier General Michael.
Then, Archduke Harry’s shoulders tense up again.
“Should we stop here? Don’t be so greedy.”
Among the Imperial Magic Knights, Major General Erance had the highest rank, but the two looked up to Brigadier General Enhart.
He was the real leader.
Harry spoke again.
“No one can leave the labyrinth gate at this point. How about we collect the inheritance first, exit the gate, and then fight again?”
Enhardt looked troubled.
If they fought here, neither side could guarantee a clear victory.
Of course, we had the advantage because we had more numbers, but they had Enhardt, and if they fought to the death, the Allied Named Aircraft Magic Knights wouldn’t be safe either.
Then Enhardt opened his mouth.
“Let’s do that!”
“Then let’s go to the base.”
Enhardt and the Imperial Magic Knights moved first.
We followed them at a certain distance.
“What on earth is going on?”
Archduke Harry shook his head, frowning.
And so far, I’ve talked about the situation.
Harry said that as soon as he entered the gate, he fell into the desert.
Food was okay because we had brought some beef jerky, but water was a problem.
It was barely enough to last three days.
But then I found an oasis.
He said that he was able to survive there because it was a fairly large oasis with a lot of water and coconut fruits.
And two days ago, Brigadier General Enhardt crossed the desert and came to the oasis.
At first, they were wary, but they said that there was peace for a while because they thought that fighting each other here would only cause injuries and nothing to be gained.
And Enhardt said that on the other side of the desert, in the jungle, there lived a giant dimensional dragon that was 150 meters long, and that he also had to keep running away.
The dimensional dragon I caught was about 100 meters long.
Even S-class dimensional monsters seem to have some sort of weakness.
I understand that even among S-class hunters, there is a big difference between a hunter who has just become an S-class and an S-class hunter who is about to advance to SS-class.
“But yesterday, that guy discovered the elf base under the oasis. I saw him go in at dawn, so I followed him in secret.”
“Did you find the dimensional core there?”
“So I went in the opposite direction to avoid running into him. In the end, I found three there, and he found one.”
“I guess Brigadier General En’s eyes have turned.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. You’re trying to kill me and take the dimensional core······.”
Archduke Harry shook his head.
“That guy is a monster.”
“You managed to avoid it.”
“Haha! Who am I? I only have five flying skills. I’m still confident in my speed.”
Suddenly, Archduke Harry said, sticking out his chest and stomach.
“And I survived thanks to the bulletproof vest you gave me.”
The Archduke’s uniform had three holes in it.
In the end, the Dragonbone bulletproof vest I gave him beat the death flag.
“Fortunately, the.”
“When you get back home, I’ll treat you big.”
After flying for a long time, we finally arrived at the oasis.
***
The entrance was under the rock of the oasis, so it was hard to notice unless you looked really carefully.
Of course, I would have found it with a dimension detector.
Enhardt said he discovered this rock by pushing it while he was sleeping against it.
As we went down, there was a huge underground base.
The elven military factories and bases I’ve seen so far were incomparably large.
And in the hangar, the last legacy was found.
[Orbital Gigant (Bishop-class) – A magical armored weapon equipped with a giant monster peacemaker spirit cannon on both shoulders and an endless track. (For 3 people)
It was equipped with a machine gun on both front sides of the tracked vehicle.
It can reach a maximum speed of 40 km/h on flat ground and can carry up to 48 spirit shells. (Cannon firing delay – 10 seconds)
Materials: Body – Steel, Peacemaker Spirit Cannon – Dragon Bone.
Small dimensional cores are needed to operate heavy, bulky aircraft and fire spirit cannons.]
It was two meters larger than the knight-sized creature I had seen in the gorilla cave before.
It had two additional machine guns and could carry twice as many spirit shells.
It was a magical weapon with greatly enhanced attack power, although its speed was slower than that of a knight.
This was so big that it couldn’t even fit in the subspace warehouse (lv.3).
Of course I could, but no matter how much I strengthened my body, it wasn’t a weight I could move.
“I’m in my 20s, and I have to leave this behind!”
“Haa! What a pity.”
It was equally unfortunate for the Imperial Magic Knights and the Allied Magic Knights.
With just this weapon, you could easily hunt down an A-class dimensional monster, and if you combined your power with the Aerial Magic Knight, you could easily hunt down an S-class dimensional monster.
Of course, you’ll need spirit shells.
“Let’s hurry. Even at this moment, soldiers will be killed by the monster.”
Harry said,
The Empire and the Alliance split into two and headed towards the orbital giant at the end.
I took out four small dimensional cores from the workshop.
One was given by Brigadier General Chuck, and three were given by Archduke Harry.
“It’s here!”
There was space to put small dimensional nuclei in orbital giants and such.
I put the dimensional core in and closed it.
Cheeeeeing! Kuung!
A blue light flashed from his eyes, and hatches on his chest and both legs opened simultaneously.
I looked at the status window.
[Clear Conditions: Obtain the Small Dimensional Core (13/10), Activate the Last Legacy of the Lost World with the Small Dimensional Core (3/10)]
“The count has gone up.”
“Should I take it out once?”
I tried to remove the dimensional core that Harry was equipped with.
Then the count started decreasing again.
“First, we need to get all 10 units operational so the gate can be cleared.”
We placed dimensional cores in four orbital giants.
And the Arika Magic Knights placed dimensional cores into two orbital gigants, and the Imperial Magic Knights placed dimensional cores into three orbital gigants.
[Clear Conditions: Obtain the Small Dimensional Core (13/10), Activate the Last Legacy of the Lost World with the Small Dimensional Core (11/10)]
So all the conditions were cleared.
[The mission has been cleared.]
[You will automatically return outside the gate within 24 hours with your last legacy. (Time remaining – 23:59:59)]
[The last legacy without a small dimensional core cannot be taken out.]
[If there is no human on board the Last Legacy, it cannot be taken out of the gate.]
[After automatic return, the mission is reset, and the gate entrance remains.]
“Thank goodness, our numbers match up just right.”
Archduke Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
A legacy that was not occupied by a person could not be taken away.
So, no matter how many dimensional cores there were, this legacy could only be taken out by the number of people.
“The S-class labyrinth gate doesn’t disappear.”
Lieutenant Colonel Nicole said.
“Yeah. Are you planning on attacking again?”
“yes?”
Everyone shook their heads.
Even if I came back here, there was no guarantee that I would clear it.
However, it was said that if there were enough named-class aerial magic knights, they could attack again.
“Don’t let your guard down until the very end!”
The Imperial and Allied forces did not board the ships, but stood at a distance and faced each other.
Even when going out to eat or run errands, we only went one at a time in shifts, and we did things nearby without going far.
Now all our attention was focused on each other.
I had to use both my detection skills and my sense of touch because a battle could have broken out if I was not careful.
The winner of this labyrinth gate attack was likely to be Atlan.
The Lacrosse Empire secured three legacies, the Republic of Arica secured two, but Atlan secured four.
Of course, I didn’t know who took the remaining two legacies.
[Time remaining – 02:02:14]
It was when there were two precious hours left.
“I need to go to the bathroom.”
I went out through the back door of the hangar.
And after a while, I returned to where the group was.
Time passed and only 5 minutes remained.
[Time remaining – 00:05:02]
“All aboard!”
I purposely got on the last leg of the train.
Everyone didn’t close the hatch.
Because the opponent might attack.
[Time remaining – 00:00:30]
With 30 seconds left, the hatch was closed.
Everyone felt relieved.
Because now they won’t be able to move either.
But I secretly got off the inheritance and went to the back door of the hangar.
[Time remaining – 00:00:10]
And ran to the room in the corner.
[Time remaining – 00:00:05]
Upon opening the door, the E-class dimensional gate was already completed.
I held the dimensional gate generator and flew towards the gate.
[Time remaining – 00:00:01]
[Time remaining – 00:00:00]
All living humans who entered the S-class labyrinth gate returned.
With the legacy he carried.
But I was somewhere else, alone.
The final winner will be me.
Because I have an E-class dimensional gate connected to an S-class labyrinth gate.
