[Quest occurs!]

[You lost your way in the wilderness of Mujit, where dragons are said to have nested in the past.]

[Can you safely get out of here avoiding the remnants of the fearsome dragon?]

[This is the beginning of a scale-quivering escape drama that crosses hardships and adversities!]

[Mission: Reach the temple before sunset and escape.]

[This mission has a time limit.]

[If you exceed the time limit, the leader of the scales will turn against you!]

[Time remaining – 11:59:57]

As soon as I stepped into the dungeon, I removed the system window that popped into my field of vision and looked around.

The air around me was subtly damp, as opposed to the crisp texture of the parched ground, making my lungs heavy. The brow furrowed involuntarily at the heaviness as if submerged into the depths of the sea.

Contrary to its name, the [Gulch where the scales are hidden] Looks like a huge cave. No, to be precise, it should be seen as the bottom of the gorge.

Looking up at the sky, the faint sunlight was shining down through the cracks in the outer wall. It was like a crack in the door before it closed, and the stuffiness seemed to double.

I couldn’t even guess how big the cavity was because the lizards hiding below were huge. Thanks to that, I’m glad that Hive will be able to roam around with peace of mind.

“Oh, the starting position is not very good.”

At Sosun Kang’s words, I looked at her. Without holding her pod apart from her or just looking at her. I’ll listen, so I meant to keep going. She felt my gaze and smiled lightly as she continued her words.

“There are three starting points for [The Canyon where the scales are hidden]. One is a rocky mountain at the top of the canyon, and the other is a wilderness on the other side. The last one is here, at the bottom of the canyon.”

She walked with her gun into the sun’s unreachable darkness and took something there and showed it to me. It was an animal tooth. It also has very sharp and huge teeth.

“Unlike the other two places, the terrain is close to a cave, so the field of view and means of attack are limited. It is difficult to deal with because there are individuals that hide in dark places and force a surprise attack… Their bodies are also weak, so they are less bitter than those in other places.”

Aside from the information, I felt my head hurt when I saw her sinking down in her seat, drawing a picture of a bizarre lizard with her teeth.

This woman, she has such an obsession with bitterness that she obviously wonders if she hadn’t entered this academy, she wouldn’t have become a serial killer somewhere. A person like this is the face of the academy? Is this world really okay?

‘What do you want?’

Yes, the world is already going crazy. She can see that she’s finely insane as long as this woman is. Where is she going outside and not chopping people up?

“First of all, tell me about your position and what you can do.”

“Ah, my specialty is magic, but I can also use a sword. Thanks to the job-specific skill [Combined Arts and Martial Arts], Even if you train only one, you can get the same effect on the other.”

“…”

What is that cheating skill?

If what she said is true, doesn’t that mean that if you kill one of the magic or the sword, you can naturally use the other skill skillfully?

In other words, even if she studies and practices the same as everyone else, she can gain more than twice as much efficiency.

She studies well and uses her body well. As the name of the skill suggests, it is both martial arts and martial arts.

‘He deserved to be vice president.’

I’m a bit of a twisted nerd, but if I’m that confident, I’m sure my skills are outstanding. Anyway, whining about being weak with such a cheating skill is really yakko.

The seat of the student council president, which will be vacant in a year from now, will be no different from winning. That means that there is a high possibility that he will become entangled with this woman for a year or two.

At that fact, the downy hair stood out on its own. My head is already hurting, but I have to hang out with someone like this for another 2 years? He sincerely considered dropping out, but soon shook his head. Even if I ran away from here anyway, if it was more than this woman, it would be more, not less.

“…First of all, seniors, please only use magic from behind in a one-deal position.”

“Yes”

It seems that he doesn’t like the fact that the end of his speech is stretched because he can’t step forward. Even though he complained, he followed his words like a child. No, you’re still a child, right?

Since there are more adults involved in the academy than students, it seems that my way of thinking naturally focuses on the adult side. I cleared my head and snapped my magical fingers as I thought of Hive and Graul.

Just

“Caw”

“Dump!”

Now that they didn’t call their names separately, they expressed satisfaction with the appearance of the two of them.

In the future, if the proficiency increases further, it will be possible to summon just by thinking and using magic without flicking your hands like this.

“Kyaaak!!”

As I was satisfied with the small but sure growth, I heard a scream next to me.

I was surprised because I wanted something to happen, but Kang So-sun, who suddenly rushed into Growl’s body as if she was being hugged, began to enjoy Growl’s fur unreservedly.

“…Senior?”

She, with a more happy expression than me, indulged in Growl without paying attention to my shy gaze.

“Wow, wow! It’s a very big pup! The fur is also soft, huh…Ha! It smells good too!”

“Kkiing…Kkiing”

I feel sorry for Growl, who whimpers while looking at me. Let’s look at Yukgu! She drool and pulled Jiang Su-seon, whose eyes were shining, by the nape of her neck to stop her.

“Get off. He doesn’t like it. And even if you look like that, it’s a wolf, so be careful, and stop whining, Growl.”

Can a beast of prey simply lower its tail to a woman like that? Moderately, in a line where you don’t get hurt, you have to suppress the baseline.

“Junior! Your junior was a summoner?! Can I always summon these cute kids? Is that right?! I really envy you!!”

I had taken it off Raoul, and now I was holding Hive in my arms and brushing her wings carefully. Even so, I frowned at her excitement, as if she would eat it if given the chance, and snatched the hive from her arms and sat it on Growl’s back.

“Ah…”

Looking like a child whose toys were stolen, he won’t give them back. In the first place, this is a dungeon. I mean, I didn’t come here to play like a picnic.

“What are the names of these children? Who do you have a separate contract with?”

“This is not a Contract Summon, it is my familiar. Even if I call you by name, I cannot summon anyone else.”

There are cases like that. The summoned person who contracted with someone looks good, so they put up better conditions and take away the contract. You may think that there is such an unfair thing or that it is ridiculous, but it is a surprisingly common incident in this world.

Since the number of summoners is smaller than that of other classes, it just didn’t buy much sympathy even when it was publicized.

In the first place, half-hearted guys throw away the contract, but those who are properly sane do not break the contract without mutual consent unless the contract disappears for some reason.

I didn’t want to go through any of those headaches, so I focused on my familiar from the beginning.

Ah! Kang So-seon exclaimed, looked at me and Growl, and then nodded in agreement.

“Somehow, I said that I look a little like my junior, but that’s true. Isn’t it difficult?”

“…? Yes, is there anything difficult?”

It’s hard to make at first, but the more you raise and grow familiars, the more they have advantages.

But you say he looks like me? I laughed when I saw the guy who was panting as if he had been depressed at her words. I’m sorry, but they don’t look alike at all.

“Gureureung…”

“Okay, sorry. sh*t”

As if he didn’t like that he openly laughed at himself, he patted the neck of the low-mouthed guy to calm him down and gave orders to the hive behind him.

“Let the kids go and start scouting. Gather all the information, even if it is small.”

“Kahah!”

Food Deok!

Crows of shadow poured from under the feathers of the hive that soared into the sky and scattered into the depths of the dark canyon. I will stay still and gather information, but my purpose is to fulfill the encyclopedia rather than clearing the dungeon.

“Caw”

Hive, who is connected to me and knows best what I want, found my top priority and informed me. I walked in the direction Hive led me around the shadows to reinforce my school uniform and at the same time pulled out the sword of the shadows.

“Senior”

“Oh, yes. I’ll go.”

In response to my call, she pulled out a sword from her waist instead of a staff, and came closer to me with a smile as if her excitement from earlier hadn’t gone away.

“Your junior is really amazing. So you’re running errands for the teacher, right? Doesn’t she intend to join the student council later?”

“No. And stay focused. This is the dungeon.”

Why do I do such troublesome things? Let the main character do that.

“Pit… I get it.”

I ignoring her pouting her lips, ignoring her, walked her basement unhindered by the hive that preceded her.

After a long walk, her mouth itched because she couldn’t stand it. The moment she opened her mouth again, she raised her hand to stop it. Arrived now Noticing that the monster was close by, she followed me with a somewhat serious expression.

The guy was sitting in a place that was neither wide nor narrow between the cracks in the rocks. He was a grotesque fellow who looked more like a salamander than a lizard. By comparison, he resembles a large Komodo dragon. By the way, he has a little slimy scales.

Should I call that a scale? From the looks of it, it looked like the skin of an amphibian. That is not a dragon, but a salamander with elements of a fantasy dragon.

I wondered if the science of past life had developed like crazy, extracting DNA from fossils and crossbreeding with salamanders, would create just such a strange creature. In short, a monster was a monster.

“Junior, that is a witch called ‘Smilla’. The slippery mucilage that exudes from the skin-like flexible scales makes the blade slippery and difficult to sharpen.”

“Does magic work?”

“Yes, the slime seems to be made of protein, so if you bake it over a fire, it hardens as it is.”

TMI came out without hesitation. I’m grateful, but the personal opinion I gave along the way was really ugly. Surely you don’t remember all the monsters with the taste of your knife…?

I stopped thinking deeply because I suddenly felt chills running down my spine at the sight of him opening and closing the hand holding the knife with a smiley expression on his face. Yes, people can.

“Then, please light the fire first. I will do the rest.”

“Yes! All right.”

While fighting Reus, I saw the potential of this shadow weapon. Tenderness. And diversity. It was a method of using a weapon that was perfect for me fighting spontaneously.

However, in order for the method to be effective, more weapon proficiency was required. The only weapon-related skill I have now is the [Stick]. You need to have as many skills as possible.

Aside from proficiency, once you have a skill, you can get compensation for damage. Even if the summoned beasts were tossed it out for them to take care of themselves later, there was no change in what I had to roll for now.

If you pile it up like this, you won’t be a big deal later without summons! Even the same cliché can be overturned, so it’s a pair with one stone. There’s nothing wrong with being strong. It’s easy to think of this as an investment for the future.

“Chewup”

As I stepped forward first, Smilla looked at me and licked her tongue, as if it naturally drew aggro toward me. At the same time, when he opened his mouth wide, I rolled my body to the side and swung my sword horizontally at the same time.

Chack!

With a heavy feeling in my hand, I cut off the bright red tongue that aimed precisely at where I was. However, it would be more accurate to say that it was slightly stabbed rather than cut because of the sticky mucus that covered the tongue.

“Geee…”

The guy chewed the cud on the inside of his mouth while retching as if he didn’t like the feel. It was a salamander, but the attack was not much different from that of a frog.

“”

Her voice filled with magic echoed cleanly, and at the same time, I felt the remaining magic power gathering around her. Along the sword, the line of magical power that had been clearly embroidered in the air continued, and the moment it was completed, a fireball the size of a basketball formed at the tip of the sword and began to burn.

“”

The first single magic To learn the magic of fire. The effect is to fire a bullet made of flame to set the target on fire. It is a very simple but effective attack.

Originally, it was a little smaller than a baseball, but whether it was because of the high quality of magical power it contained or because of her skill, it was much bigger than a normal fire shot and burned hotter, and it landed on his body.

“…!!”

As if the shock from the flames that exploded at the same time as the impact was beyond imagination, the guy immediately lay down on the ground and started screaming. Certainly, the area touched by the fire and its surroundings turned hazy and cracked like plaster, unlike other moist places.

Surely magic is good. If you use it as a ranged dealer, it would be nice to have an object that can use magic. My mind was definitely leaning toward magic.

It’s good to admire it, but let’s deal with that guy first. In order to target and attack where the slime has hardened, it is necessary to stop the struggling guy.

“Grawl”

“Kong!”

The size of the guy is about the size of a medium-sized dog, but Growl’s size is more than that. Raoul used his forepaws to hold him down and bit him by the scruff of his neck to immobilize him.

Oh Do-Dok

With a sound like chewing on scorched rice, the guy began to protest violently. It was probably because the dry, hardened scales were torn and the flesh came out.

“Geeek…! Geek!”

Compared to the loud screams, the body of the guy who resisted did not budge. His strength was lower than that of Growl. That’s all.

Slowly, I felt that even his screams were noisy, so I stepped on the guy’s head with my magical feet and made him shut up.

When it moved, I stepped on it harder, and when mucus tried to cover it, I made a spike at the end of the shoe sole and fixed it, then pressed it harder.

After a while, I finally ran out of strength and aimed for the nape of the guy with his tongue sticking out, and thrust the sword of shadow into it. With a strong repulsive force, the guy flinched once and then stretched out.

With that, the guy died. It died too easily for an object in a C-rank dungeon. At first, there were some weaknesses, but the guy itself wasn’t that strong. When considering the peculiarity of being slime, it’s only a little higher in ability, but it’s about E, which is close to D.

Clap clap clap!

“You handled it so easily.”

“…Thanks to you, senior.”

Is it because of my mood that the image of me clapping and waiting in the back looks like an employee shouting a nice shot, manager? She probably wasn’t doing it with good intentions, seeing that her gaze was still on Raoul’s side.

I opened the [Book of Summoning], But the sub-dragon did not appear.

It wasn’t caught randomly with the momentum to dry the seeds like in the case of goblins, nor did they observe and fight for a long time like in the case of spiders, so that’s a natural result.

Then what can I do? It’s been a while since the time has come to train the [Dismantle] Skill.

Using shadows, I made gloves that fit snugly and a patty knife suitable for delicate disassembly. Starting from the place where the wound was already made, she cut the scales and moved the shadow to peel off the skin. From this point of view, it seems very convenient.

Before I got this, it was difficult and unpleasant because I had to peel the skin on my own and get blood and oil on my hands.

It’s all bullsh*t that artisans don’t choose tools. If you use a good tool, the efficiency increases like this, so why refuse such a good thing?

“Me, junior? What are you doing?”

As I suddenly began to mutilate the monster’s corpse, Kang So-seon, taken aback, asked me. Ah, that’s why I said I was doing it alone. How do you explain this to others?

I gave her a glance and opened her mouth as she looked at me and her dead body with her trembling expression.

“Work.”

“…Ah~ is that so?”

Look at that. Until just now, the eyes were at least looking at people, but now haven’t they changed to looking at a strange person with a headache? It seemed that his stomach was twisted at the warm glance as if he understood everything without saying anything.

“Huh”

I was able to dismantle it quickly, probably because I like the tools.

The magic stones I found from him were round beads the size of a thumb nail. If the magic stones I had obtained so far had a strong blue base with a purple tint, on the contrary, most of them were purple.

I checked the [Book of Summoning], But I still couldn’t see the name of the sub-ryong.

“Tsk”

“What are you checking so far?”

At the sight of me clicking my tongue, I stuck out my head and pushed away Kang So-seon’s head, which occupied half of my field of vision.

“Egoo”

“Don’t cling to me.”

Why is this girl so hot? The feeling of simply invading my range and coming in was similar to that woman, so I pushed her without knowing.

Then, after pouting her lips, she placed her hands on both waists and began to openly express ‘I’m angry.’

“I ask my juniors to improve their treatment of me!”

I wondered if he was trying to argue if I hit him once, but that’s all he said. People are too nice to fall for. If you scam me to get a loan instead, I think they will trust you and follow you.

“…What do you want?”

“Ah, you’re just listening, right?”

“What do you think of me, senior?”

“Aren’t you going to listen to a single general who asks you to follow him without telling your party members his purpose?”

… Obviously, she didn’t explain to her what purpose she came here. She heard the story roughly from the teacher, but it would be easier for the person involved to hear it directly from me, who is moving on site.

But what about this? Not kidding, I really have nothing to do.

You came into the dungeon just to satisfy my own self-interest? It was troublesome to tell her reasons one by one, and above all, she was reluctant to reveal these personal circumstances to the girl she met for the first time today.

Because I don’t know where the demons of darkness extend, I’ve become more cautious. In the end, what I chose was to push forward with the concept she said.

“Assume that he was caught by the wrong person, and just follow him.”

“Eh… Then, let me touch you at least.”

Whoever wants to call this woman Mongsil.

I didn’t name it myself, but it’s a kid with a nice name called Growl. Now that I see it, it’s not me who’s not there, it’s over there. It is not a skill that she has tried once or twice to ride well as if she keeps crossing the line.

It’s only been 10 minutes since we met, but half of the first impression has already disappeared. I ignored Kang So-seon ticking away from behind and moved on to the next enemy.

The palace, the palace…

At that moment, there was the sound of huge footsteps coming from afar. The whole pupil shuddered, the sand and dust hanging from the ceiling fell, and the bones beneath his feet began to shake and roll around.

“Looking at the direction of vibration, it’s toward the wilderness. Perhaps the named Toryong started his activities.”

“Are you coming this far?”

“No. The bosses here don’t leave their territory unless they openly stimulate them to see if they are set up so that they don’t leave their territory.”

“Oh, I see.”

That word sounded like the experience of someone who had personally experimented with it.

It felt even more so when she spoke with a confident smile at her senses that she often felt in her laboratory.

Looking at her words alone, it’s normal to feel that she’s worked really hard on the attack, but for some reason, I could get a glimpse of a scientist’s obsession close to madness.

At this point, I’m curious about what made her this way.

But I didn’t bother asking the question. Curiosity kills the cat. There is no one without a story in the world. If you get entangled with a strange person, bad things happen.

I thoroughly pursued indifference because I did not want to go through hardships while buying.

“Could you explain in detail about your name, senior?”

But the information is different. Due to the rough movement, some came without investigating the information in depth, so there was a lack of accurate data. In this case, it is convenient to rely on the experienced.

“Yes! There are a total of 3 names, each with an earth dragon in the wilderness, a dark dragon in the rocky mountain, and finally a earth dragon in this place. All of them are related to the ground, but the shape is different, so the taste and intensity of cutting are different. Dark dragons are particularly hard, so…”

I blocked Kang So-seon’s mouth with a shadow as she seemed to continue the story indefinitely unless I stopped it.

“Eup, eup”

“Please stop all the rubbish and tell me only the important things.”

Jiang So-seon, who was blinded by my words, with her own magic, as if it were natural, she interfered with my shadow’s magic, took off the thing that was stuck to her mouth, and then began to pout and grunt. Did.

I didn’t comfort her.

What’s the point of treating her well when she’s not even my girl? Running into a place like this is the main character’s job. If she was a woman full of personality like this, she would definitely be a new member of the main character’s harem with a high probability.

Even if that’s not the case, since she’s the current vice-president and the next president, there’s a very high chance she’ll get involved with the main character.

If you lose once here, you must continue to lose later. I never hated that.

“Answer”

“…Giant Dragon Earthworm, Dark Dragon Rock Turtle, Great Earth Dragon Mole”

After answering one short answer with a sullen expression, she must have been offended by the way she snorted. Even so, answering steadily would be a glimpse of her good heart.

Apart from him, I completely ignored her reaction.

By now she should have noticed that I’m not usually boring. I wish they would treat you in a businesslike way too… Judging from that reaction, it didn’t seem like that was the case.

I put together the information I gathered with a short sigh, then tilted my head. It was said that it was a dragon, but amphibians and mammals that had nothing to do with reptiles were occupying the seats.

No matter how sub-ryong it is, it is the first time that the object is jagged like that. The monsters below them are at least in the category of lizards, scales, but the guys above them stand out from the mold.

Even though it’s a [Gulch where scales are hidden] In name. Maybe it has something to do with the difference between a dragon and a dragon.

I wondered if it had something to do with the treasure hunt Hong Soo-ah had told me about, but when she remembered it, there was almost no connection.

“You will keep ignoring me like that. Junior?”

When I ignored her reaction and didn’t even try to relate to her, she puffed out her cheeks and said to me. If you’ve been ignored like this, you should know how to fall, so you’re not really tired?

“…Ha, it’s senior. Aren’t you ashamed of your juniors?”

“Umm, that’s strange. As far as I can remember, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Rather, I think juniors should respect me as a senior first.”

The form of confidently pushing one’s opinion with a shameless expression was not a skill one had done once or twice.

Doesn’t this woman think that she really came to the dungeon to play? I wanted to calmly concentrate, but I couldn’t concentrate because I kept getting caught up in Kang So-sun’s pace.

She wondered what to do to make this woman quiet, but no answer came.

If it had been an enemy, if it had been done with malice, I would have been able to make it quiet with a knife. Perhaps having caught my evil thoughts, Jiang Su-sun smiled bitterly and began to talk to me softly.

“You don’t have to think too complicated. It’s just that I want juniors to rely a little more on me, her senior.”

At that, I put on an expression that I really didn’t know. If you can do something alone, you can do it alone. I couldn’t understand why they were trying to complicate it.

I didn’t know what the meaning of the inefficient act of stepping out and creating work was. If it were me, I wouldn’t have done anything like that and just rested. He was a really tired man.

“What does it mean to sleep on your own?”

“It means a lot. This is my advice as a senior.”

Then why don’t you tell me the answer? I became more and more annoyed at Kang So-sun’s behavior of bothering me like this, leaving only problems. Do I need to please this woman while I feel this way?

“Since I don’t know, senpai adjust it to me. If you don’t like it, turn it off.”

“Aww! Junior, don’t you think it’s too trashy even if you said it yourself?”

“It was the senior who followed me because he liked that garbage. I warned you at first.”

I ignored her glare and turned her head away. While grunting, she started following me like a chick. She clenched her fists and declared.

“I will definitely break down your junior’s fortress!”

If you get close, you can play with Mongsil from time to time, right? Ehehehe.

It seems that he muttered while adjusting his voice so that he could not hear it, but maybe it was because it was a cave, so he could hear everything.

It seems that he didn’t notice it because he was delusional about a happy future that would never come. The stupid face smirking at that one thing was solved is proof of that.

Perhaps it was because he was so faithful to his own desires, he didn’t even have the courage to call it doubt.

On the contrary, as the concentration of the delusion increased to the point where the viewer was more reluctant, Graul’s ears, which had preceded him, folded back, as if he had imagined that gloomy future.

There is no need to worry even if you keep glancing back and looking at that woman and me. I never get over it. It’s because she’s already enough to get involved with these noisy people.

Dick bean

“Ouch!”

“Concentrate and prepare for battle.”

Leaving behind the grunting woman clutching her head, I headed towards the group of slime lizards approaching in front of me.
