chapter 29
Morg Lizardman
Leon stood in front of the direct dungeon.
But this time, not as an attacker, but as a porter.
On the one hand, the porters were huddled together, while the sons of nobles who were seated in a wide open space came into view.
If there is one person that stands out the most among dogs, it is
‘Long time no see.’
A girl with blue hair and blue eyes.
Arya Rothbane was there.
Nvidia Farostel, who had a history of losing to her in a friendly match, was burning with lust as if this time was to repay the insult.
Of course, Nvidia’s magic skills could not even reach Arya’s feet, but the dungeon raid was not a competition for individual skills.
Nvidia had a group of wizards who served him, and they were excellent wizards who had proven their skills even in the Tower of Fire.
Of course, Arya Rosbane also had a wizarding corps made up of wizards serving the Marquis family of Rosbane, but at least the odds would be better than a 1:1 match.
And compared to them, there is only one subject who follows Leon.
Tina Maple.
As a knight who achieved the status of a 7-star, she has a magical wavelength equivalent to 8 porters of a 3-star.
Of course, Leon was going to wander around the dungeon alone without any servants accompanying him, but Jessica’s authority was stronger than he thought, so it was possible for Tina to secure a place to enter the dungeon.
Leon and Tina were wearing sloppy hunting clothes to mix with the porters.
Once I entered the dungeon, I was going to change my clothes, but the attack schedule was delayed more than I thought.
In general, the order of entry in the attacker’s party is decided in the order of the party leader, the porter, and the rest of the party members, but there was a heated debate over who could take the role of the leader of the noble children gathered here.
At a glance, among the close to ten noble children, the fiercest clash among them was Arya Rothbane and Nvidia Farostel, who belonged to the 4th Great Magical Family.
“In the beginning, Nvidia Farostel had already lost to Miss Arya in a friendly match! Of course, the role of Vanguard should be played by our young lady Arya!”
“That’s when the enemy was talking!”
“When did you become an enemy? It’s been less than a year yet!”
“So, in the end, it wasn’t the Parostel Magic Family that won the friendly match!”
The fight was an ugly fight for pride, but Arya’s concession eventually allowed Nvidia Farostel to be the first to enter.
As Nvidia’s servant said in the first place, it was Leon Farostel, or the Farostel magic family, who won the friendly match.
As of now, if we only look at the family’s reputation, it was judged that the Farostel magic family was more influential than the Rothbane magic family.
Of course, Nvidia’s expression couldn’t be better.
Although he was able to take on the role of the vanguard, he was proud of the fact that it was not an individual evaluation of Nvidia, but the power of the family, and that the position was inherited by virtue of Leon.
But now, even if it was the position that he obtained, he had no choice but to persevere, believing that once he succeeded in attacking the dungeon, he would be able to wash away this insult and prove his skills to the world.
And finally, the entrance to the dungeon began.
Nvidia Farostel entered the dungeon with 7 out of 15 wizards.
After entering the vanguard, it was the turn of nearly 100 porters.
“Keep your order and enter calmly!”
“The Vanguard may be in battle first, so be prepared!”
Among the porters, the chief who led them raised his voice.
And as if pushed into the dimensional rift, the air felt through the skin and the surrounding scenery changed.
The sultry air and the wetlands on the ground gave the impression of a jungle, but the bubbling volcanic gas and lava gushing out everywhere gave the impression that this place was by no means an ordinary jungle.
‘This is the Demon Realm.’
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
At that moment, there was an explosion.
When Leon turned his gaze, there was a battle between the lizard man and Nvidia, who entered the vanguard first.
“Looks like you’ve come to the right place.”
The owner of this dungeon was none other than the Lizardmen.
However, unlike ordinary Lizardmen, they had horns on their heads, which meant that they had the status of demons, not mere monsters.
In other words, the 5 Lizardmen fighting Nvidia now are all low-level demons.
True to the name of the aristocrats of the demon realm, they performed completely different from ordinary Lizardmen.
He spit fire from his mouth, wielded an aura that burned all over his body, and swung his staff to cast spells.
But Leon was not interested in their battle.
“Let’s leave the group at this time.”
Leaving the front line with only Leon and Tina in a direct dungeon with the nickname of a large dungeon, which is not an ordinary dungeon, was a very dangerous act, but it had no choice.
From the beginning, Leon had infiltrated this dungeon as a porter rather than an official attacker.
At that moment, among the bushes, the Lizardmen appeared, revealing their black eyes,
“Hatching encephalopathy.”
Quarreung!
The three lizardmen were torn apart by the arc blade that sprang up from Leon’s hand moving forward.
At the trace of that beautiful sword, Tina stuck her tongue out inwardly.
It was she who had taught him the sword for the past 7 months, but Leon’s swordsmanship was so beautiful that it was hard to believe that it had only been 7 months since he held the sword.
Leon developed a levitation and said as he floated into the air.
“I can follow you.”
Tina responded with a smirk.
“What do you see me as?”
She is a half-breed of Reeves, a forest fairy.
Of course, she was born and raised in the Philo Kingdom, a human nation, but deep in her genes, Reeves’ instinct to roam the forest was still alive.
Even Leon cannot follow Tina in a jungle-like place like this one.
she thought so,
‘Oh My God.’
Rather, Tina had no choice but to regret going strong.
“Hey, Master! Go a little slower!”
But he couldn’t pick up the words he had already said, and Leon ran through the forest like a runaway.
Normally, if the movement speed is that fast, each branch becomes as dangerous as a blade in a densely forested area.
Naturally, there are cases where a person accidentally trips on the root of a tree or gets injured by bumping into a trunk.
Because Tina is Reeves, she understands all these things more easily and moves freely in the forest, but although Leon is a human, it seems that she understands things about the forest more thoroughly than Tina.
No, actually, Leon was moving forward, grasping everything that came into his eyes, the wind stealing his skin, the smell of the tip of his nose, and the vibrations ringing in his ears, with a lightning-like reaction speed.
And it gave Leon a sense of looking into the future.
Kwareung! bang! Quarreung!
Leon was scattering lightning in the bare grass, on the trees, and in the mud.
Tina, who was overwhelmed by just chasing after Leon, wondered what it was, but soon found the corpse of a lizardman lying on a tree, and she had no choice but to get goosebumps.
‘Are you sure you’re aware of all the hidden Lizardmen’s locations while moving so fast?’
In any case, the more he got to know this master, the more he had unknown abilities.
Tina sticks her tongue out and starts chasing after Leon with all her might.
Leon, who had been sprinting for a while, could barely stop his feet only after he got out of the forest.
Once out of the forest, a wilderness with a clear view appeared, making sure that there were no threats around.
“First, change your equipment here.”
“yes? here?”
Tina asked, looking around her with a puzzled expression.
Of course, I know that you can change your gear with confidence because the view around you is open, but how can you expose your naked body in an open place without shame as a woman with a mature flower beauty.
Leon, who looked up and down at Tina like that, responded.
“How are you? No one is watching.”
“Do, there is a master!”
“If you don’t like it, you do it yourself. I’ll tell you in advance, but from now on, I’ll be moving quickly, so I won’t have time to change gear.”
After saying that, Leon took off his thick hunting clothes and changed into jet-black armor.
Sumatran leather was coated with Lunatree’s resin, and Sumatran horn-finished armor was wrapped around his shoulders, with a cloak made of sneaker’s leather.
Artifacts of the Silen that have been usefully used until now are no longer used.
Instead, Leon’s left wrist was occupied by an unusually shaped wristband.
Prior to attacking this dungeon, it was an artifact created by mobilizing all of the magic engineering technology accumulated over the years. It was in the form of a sharp horn that grew around Leon’s wrist and stretched out like a trident on the back of his hand.
A shape that looks like it can be used as a weapon in case of emergency as well as defense.
Seeing Leon dressed up like that without saying a word, Tina rolled her feet and was forced to change clothes.
Leon, who had changed all his gear first, looked at her while waiting for her, and Tina shouted loudly.
“You can’t see it!”
Leon frowned and had to cover his ears at the sound of his face turning red and his throat bursting.
“Why are you screaming like that? You look young, but you’re not really young, are you?”
At Leon’s question, Tina turned her back and glared at Leon over her shoulder.
There were even tears in her eyes.
“Oh, maybe…”
“yes! okay! I haven’t shown it to anyone yet! I can’t help it! You’re busy practicing martial arts, but where can you afford to be in a relationship? why. Will the master take care of me?!”
As if in despair, nervously, Tina threw the hunting clothes she had in her hands on the floor and hurriedly started putting on her armor.
Seeing Tina like that, Leon felt sorry for nothing and had a dry mouth.
I have made excuses, but Leon has never had a dating love for the last 67 years.
It is natural to live as Leon, and even as a binary type, he devoted his life to scientific research.
Even though I had time for 45 years, I couldn’t have enough mental space to split that time into love.
“okay. If you’re a little busy, that might be it.”
“Mr. Lee! You’re not kidding me.”
Tina was finally able to put on her armor before her blushing face returned to normal.
Tina, who was wearing a belt that connects the seams of her armor, still asked with tears in her eyes.
“So what are you going to do from now on?”
“From now on, we will hit the Lizardmen’s base.”
Tina rolled her eyes.
Because it was such a shocking statement.
“no. young master. Think well. This is not an ordinary dungeon, but a large dungeon. Are you going to attack the base there just the two of us?”
Tina said persuasively as if she had completely forgotten what had just happened.
That’s also the case, because it’s normal to plan the attack schedule for a large dungeon at least once a week.
Since the scale is so large and the risk of failure to attack is large, it is natural to move cautiously.
But Leon already knew that wasn’t the case.
“Did you see it when you came all the way here? What kind of monsters are in this dungeon?”
“It was the Lizardman. It’s also of a lower class demon.”
“Among the lizardmen Nvidia was dealing with, a shaman was mixed. And there were totems all over the forest all the way to here.”
“…I didn’t see it.”
“It’s okay because I saw it. In any case, there is only one lizardman tribe that includes a low-level demon lizardman, and a shaman who uses a totem.”
Leon knew in advance that Lizardmen would appear in this dungeon.
However, the senior soldier who told Leon about this dungeon didn’t know anything other than that, so he thought he had no choice but to enter the dungeon and find out the details.
So, for the past 7 months, Leon stopped by the library and studied the materials about Lizardmen, and as a result, he was able to derive their identities.
“Morg Lizardman.”
“Are you Morg Lizardman? It’s the first time I’ve heard of such a name.”
“I don’t know, I can’t help it. Even in the Demonic Encyclopedia written more than 50 years ago, there were only three lines of information about them.”
It means that it is a rare race that is not known that much.
“Morg Lizardmen are low-level demons who serve the immortal demon Nebulus.”
“…is this the realm of immortality?”
immortality.
It was not immortality, which meant eternal life.
Immortality means that even if you die, you cannot die.
In other words, the demon who presided over the Undead was Nebulus.
“If it is a large dungeon, there will be many victims if you procrastinate with the intention of gradually reducing the number of enemies.”
The opponent is an immortal legion that can revive a corpse.
Of course, if you enter a long-term battle, the disadvantage is bound to be on the side of the human who has physical limitations.
So, from the beginning, Leon planned to attack their base.
But that wasn’t the only reason.
What was the reason Leon was aiming for this dungeon in the first place?
An elixir found in this dungeon.
Leon remembered the story that it was in their base.
‘The elixir is mine.’
