19. How a villain catches a villain (1)

I quickly broke through the maze of barriers created by Bone China.

‘It’s filthy complicated.’

It’s also the last quest in Chapter 1 of Hardmode.

It was like the wailing wall.

‘And it’s a little strange.’

I’ve been feeling it since the first re-evaluation.

The difficulty was subtly different.

Bone China is a B-level villain.

But this raid is a mission he was given by the organization.

A potion specially made of chaotic magic stones.

You would have been offered the so-called chaotic.

It is also of very high purity.

“Follow me here!”

But even so, the number of barriers could not be explained.

About 50 or more barriers.

Just by looking at it, it covered the whole area of this training ground.

It was impossible with bone china’s mana alone.

‘Did he consume chaotic with a higher purity?’

Chaotic magic stones are very precious.

However, the fact that bone china, which is like an early boss, increases the difficulty like this.

‘Could it be that the reality has surpassed the hard difficulty level of the original? Nonsense.’

That fact was important to both Aegis and me.

The secret that An Yu-min will reveal.

I am not the only one who seeks Theia Academy’s secrets.

More villain organizations, including Crimson Teeth, will invade.

‘Maybe I’ll have to tweak the plan a bit.’

It means that I and Aegis must become even stronger than now.

It would be difficult if either of them died first.

I focused again.

The pattern in which the barriers are created like a maze is already known.

‘When the skull gargoyle pattern appears, the exit is on the right.’

At that moment, I shouted to Hana Choi, who was following me.

“Keep your back down!”

Pooh Woo-wook-

At that moment, a bone arrow flew from the barrier.

Hana Choi dodged the arrow.

“Thank you for avoiding it. thanks… ”

“You can say thank you later. Stick to me and follow me!”

“yes! Junwoo Lee!”

Hana Choi is an alchemist class.

That’s why Song Xia’s speed stats should be similar.

‘Even if I can’t, I’ll be 35.’

Although slower than the warrior class.

It means 3 times faster than normal people.

Besides, my speed stat is only 10.

No matter how many traps are pouring from the barrier.

As long as I focus, Hana Choi won’t miss me.

It was then.

Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam-

“Dangerous! Don’t go near bone china!!!!”

Jeong Woon-kyung’s voice came from beyond the barrier.

“Keukkeuk. Are you attacking the subject as an academy cadet? Ah, by the way, I heard that there is a hero cosplay club called Aigis.”

A series of explosions and bone china’s voice made the shield vibrate.

High class and bone china are already fighting.

Fortunately, the ceiling wasn’t completely made because there were a lot of shields.

In the meantime, the sound continued to be heard.

After leaving the door of one barrier, another barrier popped out.

“A complete dead end… At this rate, joining the high class… ”

Hana Choi’s expression turned pale.

like she said

Bone China’s barrier maze completely lost my sense of direction.

“no. You can go that way!”

It’s a barrier that doesn’t exist in the original pattern.

I immediately found the exit without difficulty.

***

[Active skill 「Multiple Mirror Summon」(lv.2) has been activated.]

Multiple mirrors created in the air beyond the open ceiling.

The mirror is linked to me, the skill caster.

With that mirror, I checked the overall appearance of the barrier.

‘I can check the situation outside.’

Although you can’t find all the way just by checking its appearance.

Still, I remember the pattern inside.

I quickly broke through the barrier and joined the high class.

“Everyone get out of the way!!”

It was then.

Three of the Aegis have already entered battle with Bone China.

“Since the cadets have an ark, is my side an unfavorable fight? But the system isn’t perfect. Kkeuk. This is how I got in easily.”

But bone china was relaxed.

The boy’s eyes were full of black madness.

Evidence that the effect of chaotic is working properly.

And I saw the polyhedral necklace he was wearing around his neck.

‘Barrier Pendant. After all, that guy has it!’

Even from a distance, the necklace looks so precious that its light is reflected in the moonlight.

That was an item that would undoubtedly be judged by a mirror.

Of course, it is an item that is difficult to obtain in the original work.

It is almost impossible to perfectly capture that bone china with just the current cadets.

Even now the difficulty has risen.

‘Still, I must get it.’

A bone china jar worn around the waist.

No, I took out the urn and scattered it around.

“Come play with those fledgling heroes!”

At that moment, a large amount of skeleton monsters were summoned from the bone powder.

From now on, phase 2 of the bone china raid.

Almost 20 monsters were summoned at the same time.

‘The number is more than three times that of the original.’

and that moment.

Bone China’s gaze came out and turned to Hana Choi.

“huh? How did you break through that barrier?”

A bone china that looks like a fat oriental mafia.

The boy’s eyes widened.

“I deliberately locked them in the barrier because those with lower classes would get into more confusion… If only it had broken through so quickly. Did you break the barrier yourself and come out?”

It was a look full of questions.

“The pattern of the barrier is such that even I, the caster, sometimes get confused. Kkeuk. There’s no way these small puppies got through my maze on their own.”

He is a villain who calls himself a barrier artist.

Even that complicated maze was a guy who called it a work of art.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. They weren’t high class cadets anyway. Kkeuk.”

Woo woo woo woo-

At that moment, a bloody arrow flew towards him.

“hmm?”

At that moment, his necklace glowed and a blue barrier was created.

taaang-

“ah. Come to think of it, there is also the daughter of the apostle of Valhalla. Did you say a vampire? It’s no use though.”

Xia Song attacked him.

However, he lightly blocked the attack with the shield created by the necklace.

‘In the original version, that skill even created a crack in the shield. Is it still lacking in power?’

It was Song Shia who even awakened the power of true blood yesterday.

If so, it means that even if all three members of Aegis join forces, it can be overwhelming.

After three days of training, the cadets’ stamina is at an all time low.

To the point where even those 20 undead soldiers felt like high-ranking monsters.

kaka kakak-

“Hey. Chu, I will bless you, so please protect me quickly!”

At least there was a nun, Ha Ye-eun, who gave her a buff that worked well against the undead.

The high-class cadets, who were relatively skilled, were also struggling.

‘As expected, I have to intervene.’

Of course, it would be a big deal if the main character, An Yu-min, dies.

Pendants are also not to be missed.

And even if the difficulty has changed.

I was sober.

‘If I have a card, I can catch it somehow.’

I whispered in Choi Hana’s ear.

“The highest class power is An Yu-min. If Ahn Yu-min draws attention, there might be just one timing. At that time, I will run myself. When I give a signal, make sure to blow the bullets at that time.”

“That’s dangerous… No, I will trust Lee Jun-woo!”

Hana Choi nodded without saying a word.

Saying that, I decapitated the skeleton soldier running in front of me.

At the same time, he glared again at Bone China, who was not far away.

‘I don’t have much time.’

You can tell just by looking at the atmosphere of the high class.

Three of the Aegis.

And everyone except Jeong Woon-kyung is in a panic.

No, I was afraid.

No matter how much experience you have in practice, it will be your first time to be a Crimson Teeth class villain.

“Lee Jun-woo?”

But at that very moment.

Hana Choi was looking at me curiously.

‘this. You couldn’t hide your expression.’

This is where everyone’s fear spreads.

I was also quite tired from holding on until today’s training.

Involuntarily, I was laughing.

[style]——-

[Hidden title is active.]

▶ Unknown / Hidden

* Title effect

: Increases attack power against targets whose side belongs to Darkness.

: The effect is further increased during a surprise attack. At the same time, it applies the ‘Fear’ debuff.

▷▷ Villain Bone China / Underworld Side: Crimson Teeth

The buff effect of the title Unknown, which was also used to catch the villain Dark Snake.

But now it was different.

‘All stats and skills have been upgraded.’

So that means you can stick a sharper knife into it.

Wave support weave-

And finally, An Yu-min moved against Bone China.

The ice blade collided with his shield.

A fight between the two continues, and after a while.

I was cutting down the skeleton soldier in front of me.

finally got the timing

I shouted at Hana Choi.

“Then I will ask you!”

At the same time, I ran out.

***

Jung Woon-kyung was biting his lip.

The rest of the high class are dealing with the skeleton soldiers.

And all three members of the Aegis clung to Bone China.

Shasak-

An Yu-min’s sword grazed Bone China’s body again.

“Hey… ”

Unlike a little while ago when I pretended to be proud.

Bone China was getting more and more confused.

‘I never thought An Yu-min would fight that well.’

As a party member, Jeong Woon-gyeong had already undergone hell week training with An Yu-min.

Ahn Yu-min was strong like a freshman representative.

Obviously it wasn’t like that.

even today.

But now, he was swinging his sword so fiercely that he felt mad.

The ice-attribute mana she exhaled was to the extent that it colored the surroundings with ice.

Even bone china was taken aback by the momentum.

‘What the hell is going on? What happened in that short amount of time!’

Just now.

An Yu-min was locked up with Lee Jun-woo.

Although it was only 5 minutes.

After coming out of the barrier, An Yu-min’s eyes changed.

With that strong momentum that spreads unintentionally.

Jeong Woon-gyeong was about to step back.

And not only the eyes, but also the skills have changed.

The terrible chill that the mana of that ice exudes.

Jeong Woon-gyeong inadvertently used a magic spell containing the energy of fire.

‘There’s nothing wrong with an ally getting stronger… ‘

Still, now An Yu-min was out of control.

It wasn’t a pleasant thing for her as an operator.

‘More than that.’

Jung Woon-kyung’s head was complicated.

I still couldn’t figure out the secret.

With a 5-minute conversation, how to grow an Awakener like that.

But Lee Jun-woo did it.

‘Lee Jun-woo. what the hell are you doing ‘

I was with Lee Jun-woo in the barrier for 5 minutes.

The cause of that temporary skill improvement.

Of course, it was the right conclusion to think that it was Lee Jun-woo.

‘Anyway, if it was Lee Jun-woo, it wouldn’t be a coincidence.’

Jung Woon-kyung checked all of the Aegis activity records.

And I knew that Lee Jun-woo was the core of that hero’s activities.

‘I envy you. I envy you… If you can mentor like that… If the opponent is Song Shia, I’ll be sure to succeed!’

But now was not the time to think of Lee Jun-woo.

“Oh, no. You have to come to your senses.”

Things just changed.

“Keuk. I tried to play with you for a while, but you b*tch!”

Bone China retrieved the barrier all at once.

And the color of the ominous mana that was rising around him became darker as much as the barrier he had recovered.

‘I’m not crazy! Even though he absorbed chaotic, he went out of control like that?’

Seeing An Yu-min fight better than expected, it seems that bone china has become sincere.

And An Yu-min, even though he was stronger than before, he was over-paced.

As for the two remaining members of Aegis.

Whether it was already depleted of mana, it was difficult to deal with summoned monsters.

“I’ll make a hole in your belly especially.”

I concentrated the mana that I could afford as much as the barrier recovered by bone china.

That black mana created a long spear.

Jeong Woon-kyung was surprised.

If An Yu-min collapsed, all the cadets in the high class were in danger right away.

‘sh*t. I have to save An Yu-min somehow… ‘

Jeong Woon-gyeong quickly summoned food spirits around bone china.

Shhhhh-

China’s attack was much faster than expected.

The image of An Yu-min, pierced by a spear, passed through Jung Woon-kyung’s head.

“no!!”

But it was just that moment.

taaang-

Bone China’s attack missed with a huge gunshot reverberating in all directions.

“uh? how?”

And at the same time, there was a man rushing towards him.

It was Lee Jun-woo.

He swung his sword directly at Bone China.
