Lord of Training - Chapter 90



Only Krnovel

90. The ultimate weapon?

It wasn’t really luck.

Clearly, the dimensional detector was telling us that there was a dimensional core underground.

That meant there was a secret elven research lab or secret space right under our feet. So we searched the jungle thoroughly, but found nothing.

Up until now, the secret labs of the labyrinth gates I’ve entered have never been anything but ordinary.

In the munitions factory, there was a secret passage leading underground, and in the ruined labyrinth gate, there was a passage leading underground hidden in a crevice in the rocks.

And the elf secret base in Oasis also had its entrance hidden under a rock.

So there must be a secret passage somewhere here.

The jungle was cleared, so the only thing left was the river, so the men and I searched the river, and just a little while ago we discovered a 5-meter-wide entrance.

‘But how do I get in there?’

Major Phelps emerged from the water and shook his head at me.

“The current is too strong. Even if I somehow manage to get to the passage, the entrance is locked and won’t open.”

“It’s a door that was clearly made to be entered, so there must be a way. We just can’t find it.”

If you force the door open, the river water will flow into the entrance, so even if there is a secret base underground, it will be flooded in an instant.

What on earth are the elves so afraid of that they made their base so secretive?

When I entered the S-class labyrinth gate, the mission status window appeared.

[Lost World Slayer (S-Rank)]

[Mission: Find a countermeasure to stop the slaughterer from invading the world by creating a dimensional gate!]

Is it because of those so-called murderers that they’ve kept it so well hidden?

Anyway, there must be a way to get in there.

I looked around again.

‘Huh? There’s a rock island in the middle of the river?’

Something feels unnatural.

The current here is so fast that even the hardest rock will be eroded away without being able to hold up.

But there was only one small rock left in the middle of the river.

“Wait a minute, wait here.”

Whew!

I went to the suspicious rock island alone.

Boom!

‘Is the floor made of hard metal?’

No, the entire rock was cleverly camouflaged with solid metal.

So, where would the device be located here······.

At that time, there was a palm-shaped depression on one side of the rock.

This must be it.

There was no hesitation.

I put my hand on the palm shape and pressed it.

Wheeing! Clang!

As my palm went in, I heard a sound of something catching.

and.

Kkiiiing! Rattling!

The entrance we found in the river rose above the water.

‘Wow! You hid it really well.’

It seemed like it was an elevator going down to the basement.

My crew and I used our flight skills to gather around the entrance.

“Captain, what is this?”

“It must be some kind of secret base.”

“Why is there something like this inside the gate?”

Ensign Franco, who still didn’t know where he was, looked puzzled.

“Well. Anyway, we should go into the secret base.”

I checked the door.

And I found the button without much difficulty.

belt!

Wow!

As the door opened, a staircase leading down was visible.

‘What? This isn’t an elevator.’

I guess I’ll have to go down first.

“Go on your way. We will guard this place.”

Major Phelps stepped forward.

As expected, you have to be aware of the situation.

“Got it. Hold on to your dimensional radio, and come in when I signal.”

“yes.”

I went down the stairs alone, carrying the lantern.

But why did they build a secret base in a place like this?

This didn’t seem like an ordinary secret laboratory.

And even if it was a research lab, it had to be easy to get to, but this place was in the middle of a jungle, and the entrance was in a flowing river.

It was almost like a base to guard or hide something.

After going down for a while, a door appeared.

I opened the door and found a switch on the wall.

As expected, there was a switch, and when I flipped it on, the light came on.

Papat! Kiiing!

And then I heard a sound from the direction of the passage I came down.

Chi-chik!

– Captain Alain, are you okay? The entrance is underwater again.

“It’s okay. Just wait there.”

– yes!

The lights in the ceiling were all on.

This was a long passage.

I turned on the dimensional detector first and moved along the passage.

There was only one passage, and as we continued to move, the red light on the detector got closer and closer.

Looks like things are going well.

What legacy will there be this time?

Is this a secret weapon?

This time is the most exciting.

Maybe the reason I re-entered the Labyrinth Gate was to farm?

And soon a slightly larger space appeared.

‘It’s a lot narrower than I thought.’

It wasn’t a base, it was more like a large laboratory.

The walls, ceiling, and floor were made of very solid metal, and there was a large pillar in the middle.

And around the wall were several desks, with a large metal box sitting on top of them.

I was a little disappointed by the small size, but I tried to console myself by thinking that I could get the dimensional core since there was a red light nearby.

What are the basics of farming?

It’s meticulousness.

I started by opening the desk near the entrance and the large metal box.

Crunch!

[Iris Dimension Sniper Rifle – Dimension sniper rifle for giant monsters. Requires spirit bullets. 3-shot. Material – Dragon Bone.]

It looks like a much newer model than the peacemaker I have.

The size was slightly smaller, and the entire gun, not just the barrel, was made of dragon bone.

Moreover, it was capable of firing three shots in succession.

And does that mean there’s a giant monster sniper rifle here?

It was said that there was a high possibility that there was a spirit bomb somewhere here.

‘But there’s something strange about this sniper rifle?’

Isn’t it fired with dimensional energy?

The Peacemaker I had was designed to fire using dimensional energy as a propellant.

So, in order to use it, you had to constantly recharge dimensional energy with the dimensional core.

But there was no such explanation.

Is this the type that has a propellant attached to the spirit bomb?

I opened the metal box right next to me.

“Huh! This is why I can’t stop farming!”

A smile appears on my face without me knowing it.

40 spirit bullets neatly arranged.

10 are lightning, 10 are fire, 10 are ice, and 10 are air.

There were 10 of them available.

But they look exactly like the two fire spirit bombs I originally had!

There was no place for propellant to go.

I’ll take a look later.

The sniper rifle and spirit bullets were placed in a box in the alchemist’s workshop.

Anticipation was running high as there were still several boxes left.

‘What could be here?’

I carefully opened the next box.

[Iris Dimensional Rifle – A dimensional rifle modified from an old pistol. 20 rounds.

The barrel is made of dragon bone to increase durability.

Only dimensional bullets can be used.]

‘Dimensional bullets for a dimensional rifle?’

Then there must be dimensional bullets in these metal boxes stacked next to it.

I quickly opened one of the boxes piled up next to me.

[Dimensional Bullet (Chaos) – When the bullet hits, a dimensional space with only chaos is summoned. (However, it is unknown which space in the dimension will be summoned.)]

It came with a dedicated magazine and 100 chaos bullets.

I opened another box.

[Dimensional Bullet (Flame) – When the bullet hits, a dimensional space filled with flames is summoned. (However, it is unknown which space in the dimension will be summoned.)]

As expected, this box also contained a magazine and 100 bullets.

Looking at the description, it seems that the power of the bullet varies depending on the space it is summoned to.

‘Are you saying that the power is random?’

The other three metal boxes were also dimensional bullets.

However, there was no separate propellant for the dimensional bullets.

It’s not like it uses mana like a magic gun to shoot, so how do you shoot it?

First, I closed the box and put it in the workshop.

You can learn how to operate it slowly later.

On the next desk was a long metal box.

When I opened it.

‘It’s a sword.’

Srrrrung!

I pulled the sword out of its scabbard.

But at that moment, dimensional energy suddenly left my body.

And a cold air emanated from the blade that was so cold it felt like it would freeze my body.

He put the sword back into its scabbard.

Then the cold completely disappeared.

‘Huh! What the? Half of the dimensional energy was sucked out in an instant!’

It was absurd.

Since I was a B-rank alchemist, my dimensional energy had also increased considerably.

Of course, it was still poor compared to Dimensional Cores or Dimensional Core Fragments, but I could easily charge a few dozen Elven Legacies using my Dimensional Energy alone, even without Dimensional Cores.

But half of it is gone!

I looked at the sword through the status window.

[Iris Dimensional Sword – When you draw the sword from its scabbard, a dimensional space filled with cold air is summoned and wrapped around the sword. Material – Dragon Bone]

This explanation also did not mention dimensional energy charging.

But it sucked my dimensional energy.

So, is the Iris Dimension Sniper Rifle or the Iris Dimension Rifle also weapons that suck in my dimensional energy and shoot it as a propellant?

I’m scared to test other weapons now.

The dimensional core in my workshop had already charged my dimensional energy, but if it could drain half of my dimensional energy in an instant like it did just now, there was no need to test it right away.

First, I put the Iris Dimensional Sword in my alchemist’s workshop.

I stood in front of the last metal box.

‘What could be here?’

[Dimensional Charge Grenade – Pressing the top button will absorb a 10 meter diameter dimensional space after 5 seconds. (No dimensional space is currently absorbed.)

Pressing the button again releases the absorbed space after 5 seconds.

Material – Dragon Bone.]

Inside the box were ten Dimensional Charge Grenades.

So, I should charge this myself and use it?

It seemed to mean that if you throw it into a space that causes a powerful explosion, it will absorb that space in its entirety.

I tried to lift the dimensional grenade and ended up losing it.

It will suck my dimensional energy again.

The weapons we’ve seen here so far seem powerful, yet also limited.

You can slowly learn how to use it and its power later.

‘Farming is all over.’

So close.

Still, I got the spirit bullet and new weapons.

Now it’s time to get the dimensional core.

Moved the dimension detector.

‘Where is this······.’

The huge circular pillar in the middle.

A red light flashed inside.

Is this a secret room?

It was clearly a medium-sized dimensional core, as the light was more intense than the small dimensional core I had.

There were some buttons lined up near the pillar.

Should I press them one by one?

Belt! Belt! Belt!

It was when I pressed the third button.

Kiiiiiing! Choaaaah!

The center of the pillar opened and a strong wind blew out.

And there’s something in it?

My eyes grew wide.

‘Elf? No, it’s a high elf!’

A very beautiful high elf was lying naked.

It had been a thousand years since the elven dimension was destroyed, but it seemed as if it was still alive.

however······.

Crazy! There’s a dimensional core inside an elf’s corpse?

Looking again, the dimensional detector was clearly pointing towards the high elf’s ship.

It was difficult enough to extract the dimensional core from a monster’s corpse, but extracting it from an elf’s body, which had a body similar to a human’s, was not easy even for a strong-hearted person like me.

‘But there’s nothing I can do.’

He took a deep breath and pulled the dagger from his waistband.

And then I go inside the pillar and try to stab the elf in the stomach······.

For a moment, my body froze.

Take a breath!

For a moment, my head went blank.

Alive? Why? How?

Is this possible?

That was when.

The high elf opened his eyes.

I quickly hid the dagger in the alchemist’s workshop.

“Are you in your right mind?”

“@$$#@@@#$@&?”

I have no idea what you’re saying.

“Ah! There’s a dimensional translator.”

I took out the dimensional translator from the workshop and put it in my ear.

“Do you understand me now?”

“Hey, where am I?”

“So how should I explain it to you?”

“Who am I?”

“yes?”

At that moment, the high elf covered his body with his arms and hands.

I realized I wasn’t wearing any clothes.

I took out my military uniform from the alchemist’s workshop and handed it over to him.

“Please wear this for now.”

This is the clothing that trainees used to wear.

I left the secret room for a moment.

At that moment, my head was filled with many complicated things.

But as soon as I saw this space, things became a little more organized.

That woman’s name is probably Iris.

And all the weapons here were clearly that woman’s weapons.

Did a mad elf scientist freeze the high elves?

Or is it because of the dimensional core inside your body that you are still alive?

‘Is that high elf the ultimate weapon?’

But just now, the high elf couldn’t even remember his own name.

‘Have you been in there for so long that you’ve developed amnesia?’

Several situations came to mind.

That was when.

The high elf walked out slowly.

“Hey, don’t you remember anything?”

The high elf looked around with an anxious expression.

Then suddenly he fell to his knees, holding his head with both hands.

“Eww!”

“are you okay?”

The high elf was in great pain.

Then he fell forward.

How do I do this?

The high elf suddenly collapsed.

I don’t have any healing skills, and there was nothing I could do right away.

First, I laid out some clothes on the floor and laid the high elf down on them.

‘Do you have any illness?’

So you froze it?

Or maybe the side effects occurred because the dimensional core was intentionally implanted into the body.

Elf magicians may have been unfairly used in experiments.

What is clear is that whatever experiments were conducted here, that high elf has been sleeping here for at least a thousand years.

I took another close look inside the pillar where the high elf had been lying.

When I first came in here, I felt a sense of comfort and energy.

‘Huh? My dimensional energy is rather cold?’
