chapter 42
Episode 42 – Wouldn’t it be three times as much?
42. Wouldn’t it be three times bigger?
“You crazy lizards!”
“Get out the back!”
“Don’t get sucked in!”
Screaming and the sound of swords and spear blades clashing rained down from all over.
In between.
Tadadat!
Leon passed by the Class A cadets who were trying hard to aggro the Lizardmen.
Of course, no one on the battlefield noticed him.
He was stepping on the Cheondunbo, not the Cheonryeongbo he usually used.
Avoid the light of the torch.
After passing the lizardmen running out holding spears.
In the end, he even tricked Moonlight and arrived in front of the tent located in the center of the village.
Unlike other huts that were roughly made of grass, the tent was made of leather and strong logs.
Inside the tent was the target, the Lizard King.
The condition for passing stage 4 is not the annihilation of the Lizardmen, but the death of the Lizard King.
Defeating over fifty Lizardmen and capturing the Lizard King inside.
It took too long.
It was difficult to widen the gap with other classes in that way.
Quickly assassinating only the target was, in Leon’s opinion, the fastest way to clear.
“······.”
Leon, who had reached the tent, hid his presence and presence and stopped breathing.
And he raised his own spirits.
His heightened senses told him the target’s condition in detail.
A rich sense of wildness.
The stinging smell of reptiles.
The sound of large eyeballs rolling over.
Even the flow that stretches out and reads mana.
The information I perceived using my various senses was gathered together, and its shape was drawn in my mind.
He was sitting on his bed, facing the entrance of the tent, holding his spear in one hand.
He was breathing heavily, as if he was going to run outside at any moment.
‘Okay.’
The location and condition were not bad.
The sword was pulled out smoothly without a single friction sound.
Leon carefully held the sword backwards and placed it on the outer wall of the tent.
I plan on tearing this apart and going in at once to target this guy’s vital spot.
Calmly measure the target’s breathing.
Grung- Grung. Grr- Grr.
The moment he exhaled was the time to enter.
Grrr-
‘Now!’
—Suddenly.
The stiff leather was cut as smoothly as silk.
The cut was so clean that the noise was overshadowed by the sound of insects crying.
Across the outer wall that is wide open in the shape of the letter ‘ㅅ’.
The Lizard King’s huge back covered in green scales was visible.
The distance is two and a half steps.
Pabbat!
Leon quickly rushed towards the guy.
The cut leather had not yet fallen to the ground.
One step, two steps, leap.
Whoosh!
Leon’s right hand, which was floating in the air, was thrown back as far as it could go.
“······!”
It was only then that the Lizard King’s head began to turn back.
Quad deuk!
Leon’s sword was already digging into the back of the guy’s neck.
“Kyaooooo!!!”
A miserable scream.
The creature writhed in pain as the skin was torn and the flesh was pierced.
Leon twisted his sword left and right, generating sword energy.
Whaaah!
Blue flames rose up, cruelly tearing through the Lizard King’s tough muscles and hard bones.
“Kyahaaah!!!”
Increasing resistance and seizures.
As expected from a high-level individual, it had tremendous vitality.
However.
“Go back, you bastard!”
Leon, who was furious, drew his sword diagonally.
Puhuaaa!
The guy’s head and body were completely separated, with red blood covering his vision.
That was the end.
No matter how bad he was, there was no way he could have survived even if his head was cut off.
[Pass!]
A short and clear message came to mind.
The acrid scent of the body burning with black energy rose thickly.
It was the smell of a grilled lizard.
* · * *
Paaat!
[This is the 5th stage of Lilvgeus breakthrough.]
[Reach to the red flag as quickly as possible.]
[The more people who successfully arrive, the more points are given.]
[Evaluation will begin in 30 seconds. 30, 29······.]
The last step, step 5.
They fell inside a magnificent canyon.
Black stone walls rise high on both sides, as if reaching the sky.
Far ahead, at the end of the line of sight, a red flag was waving and waving.
The only direction to go was straight ahead.
It was an intuitive structure.
“Breakthrough formation!”
It was obvious that enemies would block the path ahead.
This was the situation in which Class A cadets were most confident.
“Simple and good.”
“You mean we just have to destroy everything and pass by?”
The cadets had smiles on their faces.
It stamped its feet and hissed snorts like an angry bull.
It seemed like his body was itching to swing the sword quickly.
As they expected, this stage involves overcoming the enemy forces and reaching the flag.
This time, you just have to destroy it purely with force without any special gimmicks.
As you can see just by looking at Obulius’s performance.
In terms of breakthrough, there will be no class that can beat Class A.
It was natural for them to be confident.
[3, 2, 1······.]
[Start!]
“Screw you!”
* · * *
As soon as the curtain cleared, the cadets began to run while maintaining their defensive positions.
In the shape of an arrowhead or a triangle.
A formation in which Group 1 is at the front, Groups 2 and 3 are placed on both sides, and Groups 4 and 5 are placed on both sides.
Wow!
A humanoid demon covered in a black carapace appeared in front of them.
The number is twelve.
“Masune?”
“Cryboar!”
It was not a monster, but a magical beast.
However, the Class A cadets are warriors who have already gone on a rampage in the real Demon World.
There was no sign of being intimidated or scared at all.
Nothing will change at all.
They just cut it down.
“Everyone watch your head!”
Bringing out deep sword energy.
Leon, who was running at the front, gave instructions to the cadets.
A Cryvor jumped in front of Leon.
After crouching low to avoid the hand blades that cross in the shape of an X and extend towards the head.
Wow!
I immediately raised my sword to the bell, and Cryvor split in half.
It doesn’t stop there.
Without retracting the sword, rotate your waist and stab.
Quad deuk!
The heart of the guy who was fighting with Carotene on the right was pierced at once.
It took less than 2 seconds to get here.
In that short period of time, the rest of the Cryvores were all sorted out.
Class A was running again with black bodily fluid on his face.
Not even 20 meters later, enemies appeared again.
Wow!
A two-headed wolf about the height of an adult’s waist.
20 Demonic beasts called Tarion spread out and attacked the formation.
Among them, there were a total of 7 Tarions in group 1.
The first form of Jecheon Geombeop (制天劍法), Yeomyeong (黎明).
A brilliant sword light exploded from the sword raised diagonally.
A silver trail is drawn.
The mouths and heads of the three Tarions in front were split and torn apart.
They fell forward just as they had been running, and their bodies fell to the ground.
But that didn’t mean they were dead.
Tarions are the ones who survive with only one head remaining.
I had to finish it.
Pababat!
Leon approaches the guys by taking three steps on the Cheonryeongbo.
He struck down three heads whose eyes were still alive and split them into pieces.
“······!”
When an alarm suddenly rang in his senses, Leon hurriedly rolled his body to the side.
The evasion was accurate.
Purple venom covered a wide area where he was.
Chiiik!
The floor that came into contact with the poison corroded along with smoke.
Long neck and eight legs.
And then Suffrune, a demonic beast with two human forms, was approaching, spitting venom.
Woo-du-du-du-du!
Twenty more Tarions rushed between their legs.
“Article 4, Article 5, detour! “Hold the rest of your seats!”
Instructing, Leon kicked the ground hard.
Quang!
The ground shatters, and the remnants of mana explode outward.
His new model flew high as if the rope had been cut.
When he looked down, the battlefield came into Leon’s sight at a glance.
Tarion is running towards groups 1, 2, and 3, drooling.
Teams 4 and 5 turn sharply to the left and right, respectively, and rush towards Surfrun.
After catching a glimpse, Leon focused his gaze back on his target.
Sigh!
He flew towards the Suffrune in the center, leaving a thick trace in the air.
“Kkeeek!”
Surfrune found Leon and shot him in the head to shoot him down.
A long neck that extends straight out.
You can see numerous teeth protruding like serrated teeth in its wide open mouth.
The sunken eyeballs were entirely covered with pitch black pupils with no whites.
Even with that creepy appearance.
Leon released the mana out of her body without even blinking his eyes.
Puong- Whilick!
His body, engulfed in blue smoke, twisted and rotated in the air.
The art of changing the trajectory in the air.
It was a mana operation at a level that shocked the spectators who were watching.
Thanks to this, Suffrune and Leon’s heads were able to intersect at a narrow distance.
The guy’s long neck darted past to the side.
Leon plunged his sword deep into the desirable vital spot.
Puhuaaa!
A sharp blade engulfed in blue flame cut Suffrune’s neck lengthwise as Leon fell to the ground.
“Kkisssss~!!!”
The thing went crazy, but Leon’s sword didn’t even move.
Chaaa!
Leon landed on the ground, torn apart from the top of his neck to his chest.
Boom!
Suprun, with half his upper body, lay on the floor, with pitch black blood dripping down.
Behind him, teams 1, 2, and 3, who had just taken out the Tarion group, came in.
Groups 4 and 5 were cutting off Surfrun’s eight legs and then cutting off his head.
“How far did we come?”
“Now one fifth?”
Soon after, groups 4 and 5 joined.
Thump, thump, thump, thump!
This time, nine Helizards with long tails and launchers on their four arms appeared.
The biggest feature of Hellizard is:
It is possible to attack from a distance using thick thorns.
Chrrr!
Thick thorns were fired from a total of 36 launch ports, 4 per animal.
The thorns, rotating rapidly counterclockwise, had the power to tear apart the fragile human body.
In response to this.
“Gammak (劍幕)!”
Pararalalak!
The cadets’ swords rotated in unison, forming a screen like an umbrella.
The mana from the 25 sword energy spread widely to create a sturdy shield.
Quad-de-de-de-de-deuk!
The thorns that hit the sword bounced, broke, and fell helplessly to the floor, leaving behind only debris.
Once Hellizard’s barrage was over.
“Charge!”
Now it was time to fight back.
The cadets moved forward by blocking the whip-like tail or jumping high to avoid it.
It is a heavy tail, but in the end it is a simple trajectory carried out by the intelligence of a magical beast.
None of them would have suffered from such an attack.
Seogeng! Suddenly! Wow!
Leon, who had some spare time, cut his tail into small pieces and ran forward.
Like that.
It took only a moment for the swords of the cadets who rushed in like a swarm of bees to reach Helizard’s neck.
* · * *
Waiting room.
The cadets who had completed the evaluation were gathered together in the waiting room and watching the evaluations of the rest of the class.
“Wow!”
“Like that over there!?”
“There is no space left.”
And I was impressed by Class A’s performance.
The final 5th stage is a stage where only the passing ability is evaluated.
I had a general idea based on Obulius’ grades.
It was a skill that exceeded expectations.
Class A was cutting down the magical beasts like crazy, as if they wanted to show what ‘breakthrough’ means.
Every time the sword light flashes, blood and severed bodies splatter.
Sometimes, groups that go off separately come back after clearing out their target.
A barrage of long-distance attacks is blocked with an impenetrable sword shield.
Especially among them.
“···Leon is really being ridiculous.”
“I guess I can just leave him alone?”
Leon’s performance stood out.
Every time he takes the lead and uses a technique, at least three or four demons fall away.
The sight of him occasionally running out alone, dealing with large, difficult monsters, and returning is truly awe-inspiring.
It was as if he had become a human crusher.
All enemies that came into contact with him were cut into pieces and fell apart.
Esabel, who was watching the screen with a bewildered expression, muttered.
“If that’s the case… It’ll be done in 10 minutes, right?”
Billy added nonchalantly.
“Plus, everyone will survive.”
“No, then…”
Esabel recalled the time it took to pass different stages in Class A.
After calculating for a moment, her face turned stupid.
“How big is the difference in scores between us…?”
“Well.”
Celia, looking somewhat happy, answered with a smile.
Her eyes were burning with heat as she looked at the screen.
“Wouldn’t it be three times bigger?”
