97 – Escape (1)

– Cough!

The stalactite collapsed with a loud sound.

“… Ian, I didn’t know you would hate me this much.”

Yergina was astonished.

No matter how much he provoked himself first, Ian can throw such a powerful attack!

“No. This.”

Of course, Ian was also embarrassed.

I just swung the sword along the path I felt, but such a brutal attack came pouring out.

‘It’s difficult.’

If Yergina had not escaped, the consequences would have been dire.

But don’t panic and stay calm. Since she didn’t have any intention of doing anything to Yergina in the first place, all she had to do was give her a little boost.

“Because I trusted Yergina.”

“… Really?”

Yergy narrowed her eyes and Ian quickly nodded her head.

Now that it was like this, she had no choice but to throw her guts out.

“I thought Yergina would be able to easily block attacks like this.”

“You can only call that incredible blow ‘an attack like this’…?”

“I thought that might be the case for Yergina.”

“There is too much humility. “But I don’t feel so bad that you are overestimating me.”

Sureuk.

Yergina sheathed her weapon in the leather belt around her thigh. The corners of her mouth slightly turned up.

‘I survived.’

Ian let out a small sigh.

Anyway.

The one that just came out from the tip of the sword.

‘… I guess it’s sword energy, right?’

Ian stared at her own hand.

She gave off her sword energy. Although she is not very versed in swordsmanship, it is clear that it is a great achievement.

Among swordsmen, it is a world where you are considered an expert just because you can show off your sword skills. At the Academy, only knights of the highest rank, ‘Ether’ class, could display sword skills.

Of course, Sharon Pierce, who seems to use magic with a sword, is something other than the standard.

“I never thought it would be successful from the beginning.”

Of course, her performance in Ian was surprising even to Asilia.

The child, who had never even held a proper sword, suddenly showed off his sword skills. Of course, it is true that if you are already somewhat proficient in using magic, you will be able to extract sword energy more skillfully than an ordinary person.

However, it is not this fast.

“It seems like I have a better student than I thought.”

Asilia’s voice was full of surprise and pride.

“It must mean that the teacher’s teachings are excellent.”

“Mr. Ian.”

“Yes.”

“He is the student I chose, but he speaks well, so I like him.”

“Rather, I am honored.”

“…….”

Yergina watched the conversation between her teacher and student with a somewhat mesmerized look on her face. Aren’t you embarrassed that we constantly praise each other like that?

‘Oh, that’s right.’

Not this. I came because I had something to tell them.

For the sparring just now, I only helped Ian because he looked like he was about to realize something.

“Hmm.”

Yergina cleared her throat.

Yergina opened her mouth, confirming that the two people’s gazes were focused.

“Anyway. “The reason I came is because I have something to offer.”

“A suggestion?”

“Recently, the vitality draining from the body has noticeably increased. Ian, you must have felt it at least a little bit.”

Ian quietly nodded.

Richard felt that the amount of curse absorbing his vitality and abilities had increased.

If you think that this is a space materialized in his danjeon, it is a story that the host, Richard, has suffered something or is plotting to do something.

Therefore, Yergina’s next words were quite understandable.

“I wanted to say that it would be a good idea to carry out the escape plan as quickly as possible.”

The key to escape was actually in Ian’s hands.

Is it really possible to activate what the teacher created?

‘I thought I needed more time.’

Yergina thought so.

However, the sword energy that Ian poured out just now clearly meant that his talent had reached a certain level.

In the end, what was important was Asilia’s judgment.

Did she think Ian was qualified enough?

Ian and Yergina’s eyes focused on Asilia.

“……”

Asilia quietly closed her mouth.

To be honest, I wanted to say that I am not ready to become a disciple yet.

And that was true.

Now is the time to open your eyes to the sword and repeat only the most basic training methods.

There was no way I was ready.

But this child’s talent bypassed all those obstacles.

Her personality and speaking style were full of skill, and her judgment of the situation was quite quick.

‘That’s why I’m worried…’

She wanted to teach even a little more completely. She wanted to pass on everything she had.

‘It must all be my greed.’

Asilia let out a small sigh and reflected.

“Right now, it looks like the plan has about a half-and-half chance of success. “You could say it’s the realm of luck and environment.”

Asilia’s honest answer.

Yergy I nodded her head.

Half and half is enough.

Before she suddenly fell into this world, there was something she had created.

“I also have prepared several devices to confront Richard.”

“A device?”

“If this is his Danjeon, there is a high possibility that it will run away soon.”

Yergina was making plans to oppose Richard. She tells Ian that she has been there ever since she caught a glimpse of the truth about Richard.

“In the outside world, assassins against the Grand Duke of the North are probably continuing their activities. “Richard’s neurosis is likely to be rampant, so it will be difficult to maintain a normal psychological state.”

… He went so far as to hire an assassin himself.

Ian became even more afraid of Yergina.

Anyway, in the end, all eyes focused on Asilia’s answer again.

After a moment of silence, she nodded her head.

“It would be even better if that happens. “It will be easier to get out safely.”

“But wouldn’t this place become a mess when everyone leaves?”

Ian asked his mentor worriedly.

“There is no greater achievement for a teacher than that if he can raise his disciple properly and send him back to where he came from.”

Asilia just smiled while saying that.

The group immediately packed their luggage.

Once we decided to carry out the plan, there was no time to delay. For each hour I spent here, I quickly absorbed the life of living things.

Everyone came straight out of the cave.

It was too bright outside with lots of snow on the ground.

“This way.”

Yergina and Ian followed immediately behind Asilia, who took the lead. Lina was in the middle and Danya was in the rear.

The location of the cave is now clearly visible in the bright surroundings. Above the cave was a large mountain. To be precise, it was in the shape of a cave beneath the mountain.

“I didn’t see it at first, but this place is really big. But why didn’t we see it?”

Asilia responded to Lina’s words.

“It’s a structural arrangement that disturbs vision. It’s not magic or any kind of technique, it just creates this effect purely through placement. “You can’t see it unless you come there in person.”

Perhaps that was why I felt an alien and gloomy energy.

The destination is the summit of a mountain whose height is unknown.

The mountain became deeper.

The blackened old trees and the snow piled on them were repeated continuously.

Although the direction was confusing, there was no hesitation when it came to Asilia.

“Wait a minute!”

At that time.

Danya stopped the group.

― Gurgling!

A strange crying sound was heard.

“It’s over there! Reena!”

“Yes!”

Danya’s grass attribute bow flew behind a tree. Lina’s fire magic follows her arrow.

The body reacted to that and jumped out from behind the tree.

At that time.

Pababak!

Danya’s arrow split, leaving a green trail on her corpse’s body like a kind of net.

Howling!

Lina’s magic hit the spot and burned her body. An attack that utilizes an elemental reaction that burns better when the fire attribute is covered with the grass attribute.

“Oh.”

An exclamation of exclamation flowed from Ian’s mouth at this quite impressive sum.

Lina and Danya proudly place their hands on her waist.

“Ian, while you were learning sword techniques, we also practiced hard!”

For a while, I was going to kill the corpses that appeared so sparsely.

“Beyond that rock is the summit.”

Asilia pointed to a huge rock.

Clearly, there was no longer a dense forest of black trees visible above.

The destination is just around the corner.

“… That’s strange.”

“There’s something strange nearby.”

Yergina and Danya muttered at the same time.

“I’ve never felt this kind of energy.”

Asilia’s expression was not good either.

That moment.

Something emerged from the shadows.

Its appearance was infinitely bizarre.

― Gooooo!

Should we say that the corpses are gathered together to form a large sphere?

The corpses’ half-shattered features were crowded together and rolling around like a huge ball.

Lina and Danya briefly expressed their impressions.

”Ugh…“

“What is that?”

Unlike the two girls, Ian thought that the grotesque pile of corpses resembled something mute.

‘…What on earth is this?”

Ah. Snow rolled a while ago + a pile of corpses.

As soon as I put that thought in my head.

– Stinging.

Hundreds of eyes were focused at the same time.

Its appearance is by far the worst of the worst, more grotesque than any other living creature.

– Guaaagh!

– That’s it!

– Gad dud dud!

Hundreds of its mouths opened individually.

An extremely horrifying dissonant sound burst from its mouth.
