NOVEL NEXT chapter 23
23 – Seeking an encounter in dungeon exploration.
A grotesque cry spread out, unbelievable that it would come from the shape of a snake.
At the same time, it crouched down, then rushed at a high speed.
“Awesome…! ….Haa… Haa…”
With Kilia barely away from her, she sighed again.
Because it’s so big, you have to turn around a lot to avoid it.
Well, he was eating up a lot of stamina.
I think I spoke my line quite confidently, but the situation is so unfavorable to me.
There are very few variables that can be created here.
The best thing to look at is when the blessing of the next windy moon comes around.
Five minutes until then…
Can you hold on?
While he was breathing, he disappeared into the darkness again.
Damn it, even the terrain is too against me.
With my magic, I can’t detect how it moves in the dark.
Shuwook!
At that time, a small form rushed ahead at high speed.
With a big twist of the body, it makes a big turn to the other side and runs.
In an instant, the floor I was standing on was crushed.
It even changes its size freely and attacks, and if I try to strike back even a little, it hides in the dark.
In the first place, that charge is not a physical attack.
If you ignore it because of its small size, it will be squashed by magic power.
Besides, if you just recklessly hold out, you will lose.
I have no choice but to defeat him.
You must not run away any longer.
“Whoa….. Wake up. From now on, you shouldn’t waste even a single step of your stamina.”
Before he charges again, he first quickens his steps.
That’s how we arrived, in front of the collapsed passageway we first entered.
From there, I leaned back and looked ahead.
In this place, no matter how much I try to hide in the dark, the range in which it charges towards me is limited.
…..Of course, I have no place to retreat.
So the only point of victory is a moment.
Kwaaa!!!!!
The moment he rushes in…!
“Now……!! [Accelerate]!”
Kaaang!
With a sound like iron against iron, the guy pulled his body back.
A pinpoint attack that strikes back within a mere 0.1 Second interval.
And then quickly evade the body again before the magic damage comes in.
The gamble that seemed impossible…
Kiyaaa!!
…It worked…!
The damage was definitely done to him.
The one-of-a-kind attack that I taught you is also a fighting style.
It’s a little different, but the important thing is that it worked for him.
“Haa… But… But… This is…”
I’ve only tried it once, but I feel extremely exhausted.
I feel like I’m about to collapse already because I’m concentrating all my nerves on even counterattacking.
The problem is that I have to do this… Several more times.
How many times do I have to add this…?
Can I hold on…?
Kuaaa!!!!!!!!!!
But the enraged mother doppelganger didn’t give her any more time.
The guy rushes in again.
This time, I’ll try again.
“…..[Acceleration]…!”
I got my senses exactly.
Succeeded in landing another attack.
Even so, he charges again.
“…Wha…! They don’t give me a term at all…!”
This time I just chose to dodge.
My posture is too messed up because I had to repel the attack earlier.
A mammal doppelganger who bangs her head against the wall.
But this time it doesn’t stop.
It raises its body as it is and charges forward.
Don’t give me a break.
I hit it again with acceleration, but it’s still alive and well.
Then he starts laughing.
“…..Laughing…?…No way…”
Did you notice that I’m lacking in stamina…!
He didn’t stop anymore.
I tried counterattacking with acceleration several times, but my stamina fell much faster than that guy.
How much time had passed like that?
How many times have you bumped into it?
Ten times? Twenty times? A hundred times?
If not, he may have actually only been able to fight back five times.
“….. Ha… Ha… Ha ha…”
I can’t breathe anymore.
The mind is getting farther and farther away.
The figure of the guy rushing in is blurry, and his arms tremble.
Nevertheless, I had to deal with it.
I had to cut it off…
“Keah uh uh uh uh…!!!!!”
I was knocked down after being hit by the guy’s rush.
He coughs up blood all over his body.
It was as if his body was completely broken.
No.
You mustn’t fall down here.
I’m… Obviously I’m… I have to protect…
I will definitely achieve […] In this world…
…….?
What is it?
What am I fighting so desperately for?
Why was I brought to this world?
Why am I trying to save people here?
If I just wanted to survive, I’d rather just run away and hide in a safe place while refusing to enter the academy.
“….. This is… The story…!”
The image of me in the past passes by like a kaleidoscope.
She is shooting at someone.
“….Then…….Directly…….”
Someone who heard me speaks to me.
My mind is already going back and forth, so I can’t even hear what they’re saying.
‘Ah… I can’t do it… More… No more… Is…’
That’s how I lost my mind.

————————————————————————- —
Inside the dark cave, the mammal doppelganger was spitting out a roar of victory.
It’s because he succeeded in dealing with two humans who didn’t know anything and came in to touch his treasure.
In order to be sure, I was moving to rip off the head…
Suddenly, the fallen man starts moving.
Already in a mess.
He doesn’t seem able to move at all.
After grasping the situation, the mother doppelganger smiles again and goes to finish off the weak prey.
At that time,
Mumble mumble
The prey was saying something incomprehensible.
I feel suspicious.
I’m trying to finish it quickly before I do anything.
“…….[Acceleration].”
Puuu!
In an instant, the Mummy Doppelganger is thrown over the wall.
Just now, what happened to me?
The behavior of men is different from before.
It’s much more threatening than before.
Feeling danger, this time he transforms into a hound dog and charges again.
“…….[Acceleration].”
Kiyiying. Hey hey hey.
The speed is different from before.
Throughout her life, she is helplessly attacked by an attack of unprecedented power that she has never seen before.
The man’s attack continues.
In the end, I chose the option of avoiding the body.
A mother doppelganger hiding in the dark.
This time, unlike before, it doesn’t even emit that strange roar and laughter.
Only, all eyes are focused on the man.
As expected, no matter how strong you become, you won’t be able to enter this darkness.
This is my territory.
So the doppelgänger hid in the dark and tried to fire his magic cannon.
Unaware of anything, the man standing in the center seemed to be knocked down after being hit directly by the magic cannon.
I rush to finish it like that.
“…….[Pungwol’s blessing…]…”
At that moment, goose bumps ran through my body.
How? How did you close this distance?
You blocked that attack?
And the gauntlet flying in front of my eyes.
In that state, I felt a feeling called ‘fear’ that I felt for the first time.
And then, the figure of the doppelganger disappeared.
————————————————————————- —
My head is dizzy.
This is… Where is it?
“Ah! The patient is awake!”
“Uh…That, sister?”
“You’ve seen it before? To see you again like this, you can say it’s a fate! Ahem. To introduce myself again, my name is Seo Ji-woo, who took on the role of a healer at a treatment center in Seoul!”
It was the healer sister who treated me during the Yoochunhwa monster incident.
… How did I get to the clinic?
Obviously, I was attacked by that doppelgänger… And saved Killia as it was…
I can’t.
I can’t remember exactly.
“Hey, maybe… How did I get here?”
“Hmm. I’m not sure, but I heard that the dungeon suddenly collapsed. Ah, I heard that Mr. Gaksa’s colleagues escaped first, but when I came out, he was lying outside the portal covered in blood.”
“The portal… Outside?”
You caught him?
Who caught it? Is it Kilia?
What reason could she save me?
Ugh… It’s getting complicated in my head.
I can’t quite read her intentions.
Because I’m so tired, I can’t get my head around.
“Anyway, since his condition was serious, he must have used up a lot of his stamina while healing. Since his colleagues are also worried, it’s better to rest for now.”
“Ah… Yes… Then… Shall we rest for a bit…”
Whatever it is, I’m glad I survived.
What about the story? You can think about these worries later.
For now… Let’s get some sleep…
