chapter 22
22 – Artificial Dungeon Experience
For some reason, it seemed to flow smoothly. A dog-like writer who throws sh*t again with an unexpected quest.
I stood and pondered for a while before facing the steel golem in room 3. As in the original story, the boss is not defeated by Choi Yoo-eun’s attack. In other words, among the people in the artificial dungeon right now, am I the only one who can defeat him?
It’s a headache. However, if you cut it openly, it will attract attention, and even if you don’t like it, it will go into the ears of the final boss. That should be avoided at all costs.
“Why is that?”
“That’s right. Class president. Could it be…?! Did you suddenly cramp in your leg? That’s possible. Shall we take a short break?”
As I stood there without saying anything, the two looked at me with worried expressions. Now that this has happened, I need to come up with a new plan pretending to be a rat for a while.
“Can I drink water from the river here?”
“What are you doing? Drink the water I brought.”
Sohee handed Harin a water bottle. As soon as he catches it cold, his body flinches.
“It’s an ice mage. It’s about keeping it cold. It’s about making porridge.”
He also came up to me and handed me a cold water bottle. It’s cold, so don’t be surprised.
“Chief, you should drink a sip of water too. Dehydration occurs frequently during the monster subjugation, so drink with care.”
“Ah. Yes.”
After drinking the water Sohee gave me, I made a plan in my own way. If you can’t openly cut it, should you cut it secretly? Coincidentally, there is also a speed skill now. It won’t be difficult.
I ran the simulation several times in my head. Good. I guess this is the best way.
“Sorry. Did I keep you waiting for nothing? I was taken aback for a moment. I heard cramps on my legs.”
I’m not very good at acting, but I tried pretending to be sick by holding on to my legs.
“No. Rather relieved.”
“Sohee is right. Humanity? I felt that.”
It must not have been too late. Choi Yoo-eun should have arrived similarly to Jo. As soon as she thought to herself, it seemed like a useless worry. She smiled.
“Our plan is the same as before. I will attract attention and then attack. The order of attack is Harin and Sohee, okay?”
“Leave it to me!”
Harin has a lot of energy in her voice. Then Sohee came over and took my empty bottle.
“There is nothing to be nervous about because I will be behind you.”
After saying that, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
“Oh… Who am I worried about? Am I being too remote?”
“No. It helped.”
“Guys. I’m here too, so don’t forget~.”
In such a warm atmosphere, she faced Room 3, the Steel Golem. The only witch in this room is that guy. It means to show him everything you have learned without interruption.
[The Master of Twin Swords has been activated.]
I strode forward and aimed my sword at him. I was bored, so I tried using the provocation magic I learned. It went in very well because the mana itself was high. Soon the guy started glaring at me.
“Everyone, get ready.”
Quang!
He slams his right arm down. He quickly dodged to the side and called Harin.
“Yes!”
[Aqua Ball]
Water condensed in front of Harin, forming droplets the size of her height. Then she moved at great speed and burst into her golem’s arm.
The additional effect of the water attribute is moisture.
Increases the power of electricity and ice attributes. Next, Sohee used ice magic to freeze her left arm.
Now it’s your turn to attack with your right arm. Let’s finish it quickly because it’s slowly getting boring.
“Both of you can use intermediate magic? I’m preparing for casting.”
“Huh? I’ve got my right arm left? No, I’ll believe the class president.”
As the steel golem tried to slam her right arm down at me, I raised my sword and deflected it hard.
Melee parrying breaks his stance. Now there are no arms to protect the core.
At that time, the magic casting of the two was completed.
[Ice Sword]
[Aqua Cannonball]
The magic of ice and water swirls around the golem’s core. At the same time, the golem turned to ashes and disappeared.
There are many differences between artificial beasts and real beasts, but the fact that they do not drop loot is the most recognizable and famous. Excluding artificial lifeforms such as golems, real monsters are different in that they bleed.
“After. It’s over.”
“It’s great! We seem to be working really well together.”
“That’s right. The center of breathing was especially you, class president.”
“Accept!”
I picked up my smartphone and checked the time. 2 Hours and 18 minutes have passed since entering the dungeon. There were about 4 minutes left before the gates opened. You have to be very nervous and enter room 4.
“The class president?”
“What’s wrong, Ido? Did you get a leg cramp again?”
It would be better to tell the two of them in advance.
“Something is strange. Something unusual has happened.”
***
In the Situation Room.
This place was noisy because of the unexpected big change. The group that killed the steel golem in room 3 the fastest was Kim Yi-do’s group.
‘That’s right! Our class president is good.’
I wanted to scream out loud, but I couldn’t because the other teachers were paying attention.
“That’s great.”
“Isn’t it?!”
From the point of view of the A class teacher, the rewarding view, and the C class teacher who always distrusted Ido, this steel golem fight was perfect.
“Where did you learn that? Is it magic?”
The manager was especially interested in the strange feat of breaking the golem’s stance by striking the lower arm.
“Well. It’s just useless leftovers. That’s all right, and now Yueun’s group is entering the steel golem. Let’s see.”
It was then.
The lights in the Situation Room went off and on again, and the room began to shake.
“What, what is this?”
“Hmm… I have a bad feeling.”
The manager stroked his beard and examined the situation. This harbinger is the harbinger of when the gate appears.
Pot within! And all the electricity in the control room went down. Bumcheol calmly raised a flashlight in the dark and lit it.
“Kyaaagh! A ghost… A manager.”
I calmed down the feeling of being flustered by my lack of experience.
“Ugh… What’s all this about?”
“That’s a big deal.”
The cameras that were filming the artificial dungeon all went down. Why did all the ominous predictions turn out to be true? Did the gate to the artificial dungeon really open?
“Uh, what should I do?! Manager!”
“Calm down for now. Being flustered won’t help. You should have read the teacher’s manual before experiencing the artificial dungeon. Just do it.”
When this kind of situation happened, Manual first contacted the Witch Beasts Association. Afterwards, in cooperation with the association, students’ lives are put first.
“Boram-sensei. Please contact the Witchbeast Association. Mi-suk-sensei, please go to the other situation room and gather the rest of the teachers.”
“What about the department manager?”
However, it is too late. In a crisis situation, you have to move quickly, even if it’s 1 minute 1 second.
“I will go to the dungeon for a while.”
***
“Huh. That’s crazy. She’s the youngest daughter of the seasonal guild. Starting with firepower, it’s on a different level than mine.”
Lee Seong-jin, one of Choi Yoo-eun’s teammates and ranked 190th in the entire school, said while looking at the falling steel golem.
“That, that’s right. Really ridiculously strong…”
Yeonwoo, who used to be in the same group as Kim Yi-do, said.
“Aren’t we not needed at all? You must be thinking that it’s just a teaser.”
Seongjin Lee.
Pretty bad rumors circulate. Perhaps because of that, that sarcastic tone is even more annoying.
“Call the staff when you have time to say that. You never know what will happen in Room 4.”
I told you all about what kind of artificial monsters are in the dungeon, but I don’t know which room and how they are arranged. Because of this, you shouldn’t let go of tension even for a second.
Let’s enter Room 4. Stone Golem, Alligator. And… I see a beast in the form of a bear fighting them. What? Bears won’t appear in this artificial dungeon.
“What are you guys fighting about?”
“That’s right.”
Like the strange magic I felt earlier. Something feels strange. It wasn’t difficult to deal with them once. The problem was after I dealt with it.
“Has the gate opened in the artificial dungeon…”
“Puha. What bullsh*t. You’re talking like a real class president. Does that make sense? In an artificial dungeon with a safety factor of 99.9 Percent…”
“Then how would you explain this?”
Bloodstains on the floor. And the loot that appeared after defeating the beast. He shuts his mouth tightly as if he had nothing to say. Another proof that proves that it is a real dungeon, communication becomes unstable in the dungeon.
“Yeonwoo. Would you like to take out your phone?”
“Yes. Is the communication good?”
“Look at that.”
At that time, her expression slowly turned blue. The cell phone signal became unstable, and soon a message appeared stating that communication was impossible.
Then, as if he believed this too, he began to speak vulgarly in her ear.
“f*ck. The gate opens in an artificial dungeon. Does this make sense?
Meanwhile, Yeonwoo said something rather out of the blue.
“I need to find the class president! I can’t elaborate, but the class president might solve this…”
“What kind of bullsh*t is that? What does the class president do when he comes? I’ll line up and check the number of people.”
Embarrassment emanates from both of their voices. Well, I couldn’t keep my composure until just a moment ago, but the two of them would be awful.
I’ve been to Beast Subjugation many times, but it’s the first time the gate has been opened in an artificial dungeon. Still, I’m going to have to step in and fix this. Season Guild Master If the youngest daughter is having a hard time with just this, it’s hard to carry her face.
Whether it’s an artificial dungeon or a real dungeon, the end is the same once someone defeats the boss monster. One risk factor is that the boss may have changed or mutated because of the gate. However, it is not possible to wait for support here.
“For now, let’s keep moving.”
