chapter 20
“This… .”
Looking at the scene in front of me, I was a little taken aback.
A scene familiar to me, but never to be seen in this demon realm.
It was a huge forest of buildings.
“Isn’t that real?”
It was clearly a virtual space embodied by magical powers, so it must not be real.
But no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look fake.
The virtual reality training that I encountered with science and technology was realistic enough, but this magical space was not far behind.
“Where should I check?”
I picked up the stones that were flying around.
The tactile sensation felt was identical to that of the real thing.
“It looks real.”
Throw a stone up and catch it.
chin.
The weight is also similar to the real thing.
‘It’s amazing.’
I was honestly surprised.
Although I didn’t know much about the field of magic, it was the moment when I knew for sure that I could show off my abilities that would not lag behind science.
‘I thought magic was just a skill.’
If it can be applied in this way, the possibilities are endless.
‘by the way.’
I glanced around and took in the scenery.
‘Professor Cedric recommended this place for a reason.’
No matter how you look at it, the background here was Earth.
It is also a big city in Korea.
The Korean signboards dotted around the building were proving that.
Knowing that I have a lot of interest in other dimensions, especially the earth, I think he recommended that I experience it.
‘It’s nice to see Hangeul after a long time.’
After coming to this demon realm, what I spoke and heard was a completely different language.
Of course, thanks to my body adapting on its own, there was no great difficulty in communication, but I felt a little strange.
While looking around, I heard Cedric’s voice.
– Can you hear me? You can train here.
“Are you training?”
-Yes. In the case of this number 11 magic circle, the goal is to annihilate all enemies that appear. If you annihilate the enemies and deal with the boss, a magic circle will open that allows you to come out.
A relatively simple method.
It seems that even first-time students can easily adapt and receive training.
Besides, since the professor said that he would keep watching, he would be able to respond sufficiently in case of an unexpected situation.
‘Unexpectedly, he’s very kind.’
The world of demons and the space of demonics that I have experienced so far have been the survival of the fittest.
A space where you have to become strong and survive on your own, and that is taken for granted.
It was a little surprising that even if it was training, it would go this far.
“Then, is the method our freedom?”
-Sure. It’s okay to take your time and deal with each and every enemy. It’s okay to hunt only the strongest guys and dungeon bosses in a short amount of time.
It wasn’t that difficult because he had similar training at the Hunter Academy.
‘The problem is the difficulty of the dungeon, but.’

Unlike Hunter Academy, where the enemies at least the students can handle appeared, you never know what kind of enemies will come out here.
Maybe it was deliberately made so that only strong enemies come out.
‘It’s rather good from my point of view.’
Dealing with weak guys is of little help in raising your stats.
I even went to the arena on purpose, but it was nice to have an opportunity like this.
-Then I will cheer for you to have a good experience.
Soon, Cedric’s voice disappeared and the surroundings became quiet.
I slowly looked around.
A forest of buildings nearby.
Several buildings nestled between them.
It is a sight that I have encountered in the past.
‘How can I make this look so similar?’
It’s not at the level of a rough imagination.
Even if you don’t see it in person, at least it’s a video, or a detail that can come out if you check it with a picture.
Of course, I was the only one here who knew that.
“Wow, what a strange building.”
Jetty was rolling her big eyes here and there in admiration.
“Is this a landscape from another dimension? It’s amazing. I’d love to do some research later. How complex magic knowledge is required to actually implement it… .”
Herculus mumbled something and was lost in his own world.
‘It must be interesting.’
It’s a different world that I’ve never seen before.
Such a reaction is rather natural.
But I couldn’t keep dying here.
“Why don’t you look around a bit first?”
“okay.”
“To agree. You will know more when you see it for yourself.”
We slowly moved into the forest of buildings.
* * *
“Well… .”
As I entered the building forest, I became more aware of it.
That this is a space modeled after a city on Earth.
But there was something strange.
“It is too quiet.”
Normally, it should be full of people and noisy, but it was strangely quiet.
“Is anyone there?”
“Something seems strange.”
Like Jetty said, it was definitely a bit strange.
I made a virtual space, so I don’t think there will be people from the real Earth.
But at least there will be enemies we have to deal with, and even if it’s quiet now, it’s too quiet.
And another strange thing.
“The building is not normal.”
To be precise, it was in a state of being smashed and collapsed here and there.
‘This is definitely a trace of a battle.’
When I was a hunter, there were times when a gate suddenly appeared in the city center and monsters appeared.
In that case, the destruction of the city was an unavoidable reality, and the current situation was a similar scene.
Since it is not known how this space was implemented, it seemed better to look around first.
“Let’s keep going.”
Jetty and Herculus followed me without complaint.
As we moved further, something appeared in front of us.
coo uh oh!
A huge body the size of a two-story building.
Black scales covering the entire body.
Above them, two heads revealing sharp teeth.
It was a monster called the Twin Hydra.
The monster with a very vicious spirit was clearly threatening.
However, I was rather pleased with the appearance of the twin hydra.
‘Wow, I never thought this guy would be so happy.’
I was worried that there might be some problem because nothing appeared, but it was a monster that appeared as if I had been waiting for it.
‘Would the actual fighting power be implemented as it is?’
Based on the hunter days, the twin hydra was a monster that could be caught without much damage if five hunters with 300 stats gathered together.
To fight solo, you had to be in the mid to late 400s.
In fact, I’ve never hunted alone.
‘If it’s my current ability level, I’ll be able to catch it without too much difficulty.’
The problem is that this space is a virtual space created by magic.
It could have been set up stronger than the twin hydras I knew.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
It was good as long as it was strong.
“Cut your teeth in front of anyone… Well?”
“Is it okay if I try to deal with that guy?”
Hercules steps forward and asks for a favor.
‘Well, I don’t necessarily need to catch it.’
Monsters will continue to appear anyway, so it wasn’t bad to check Herculus’ skill level first, so I decided to yield.
“I will allow it.”
“Thank you.”
Hercules slowly stepped forward and raised his right hand.
“Dark Spear.”
At the same time, the demons around them shuddered and gathered at Herculus, and were shot forward again.
Quarreureung!
The ground cracked and 10 black spears appeared, which were pierced into the Twin Hydra’s body in an instant.
Kieeck!
A twin hydra that rocks its body back and forth.
At first glance, it seemed like a pretty big blow.
Seeing the twin hydra fixed on the black spear, Herculus prepared for the final blow.
A black flame gathered in his left hand.
A white lightning bolt was created in his right hand.
“Demon Banisher.”
And the sparks and lightning that merged in an instant became a huge beam of light and shot out.
Whoops!
The body of the twin hydra exploded.
And the flame that devours the twin hydra’s body in an instant.
The monster disappeared without even screaming at the overwhelming power.
‘Is it the right way?’
I don’t know much about the field of magic, but it definitely seemed to have a great advantage in terms of power.
‘It’s definitely different from how hunters use magic.’
There was a wizard class among the hunters, but the magic they used was different from the one Herculus had just used.
To put it simply, if the magic of hunters feels like a mass-produced product produced in a factory. The magic here felt like a handmade product.
‘But the weaknesses are similar.’
Whether it was the Hunters’ magic or Herculus’s magic, it was the same that it took a little time to cast.
And for opponents who can attack that part, they will definitely have a hard time.
‘by the way… .’
I tilted my head looking at the twin hydra that disappeared without a trace.
‘It certainly doesn’t seem like a welcome.’
It had real substance and seemed to have the power to pose a threat to us.
The problem was that it was processed so quickly that it was not possible to check the proper power.
But my worries are not worth it.
Kieeck!
Across the building, the twin hydras reappeared.
Even two marinas.
“This time, I will take the lead.”
“Wait, two of them are dangerous, so together… .”
“Who do you think I am?”
I moved in front of the twin hydra in an instant without even hearing an answer.
and.
Kwaaang!
I punched him right in the middle of his neck.
Ayeek!
“You are weak. You are too weak.”
The point where the two heads intersect is the twin hydra’s weakness.
It could be different from what I knew, so I attacked it to confirm, but seeing that it worked properly, the information itself seems to be the same.
The problem is that it worked too well.
“Well… .”
The Twin Hydra, whose head exploded with a single attack, slowly collapsed.
‘It doesn’t seem to be much different from the twin hydra I used to know.’
I feel a little stronger, but I couldn’t guarantee it because my abilities were stronger than when I was a hunter.
Kieeck!
The other remaining twin hydras lunged at it with their mouths open.
Pooh!
This time, too, it went out in one go.
The difference from just a moment ago was that he collapsed with a huge hole punched through his torso, not his head.
‘It’s ambiguous. Aren’t stronger guys coming out?’
Obviously, the Twin Hydra is a fairly tricky monster.
However, there were many monsters that were stronger and more difficult to attack.
If this is a space with the Earth as the background, there is a high probability that they will also appear.
‘If I go around, I’ll be able to run into them.’
While I was organizing my thoughts, I heard Herculus exclamation.
“As expected, Kyler Diablick… As rumored, great skills.”
The hood was pressed down to hide his expression, but the emotion in his voice was pure admiration.
“right! Kyler is amazing!”
Jetty flinched and agreed with the words.
“Sure, I am strong. But the opponent was also weak.”
Self-praise that flows naturally.
But now that I’m used to it, I don’t shrink as much as I used to.
“First of all, I plan to move a little more. What do you guys think?”
“I will only follow Kyle!”
“Well… .”
Hercules pondered for a moment.
But I won’t do anything else here.
If it had been like that in the first place, I wouldn’t have come with you.
“i get it. I also want to test my skills against various opponents I have never seen before.”
“good night. Then let’s start right away.”
“Where are you planning to go?”
“First… .”
I raised my head and looked at the building in the distance.
Even among the forest of towering buildings, a particularly tall building can be seen.
“I think we should go there.”
The place I was aiming for was the Monster Museum.
