Chapter 25
Kaah!
It was a lively swing that instinctively felt like a home run the moment it connected.
Even though Ian had never played baseball, it felt that way.
The body of the skeleton that had lost its head crumbled down.
Ahaha. Ian, youre amazing! Your reaction speed is incredible, isnt it? Id like to learn a thing or two from you.
Keep quiet and get ready. There seem to be a few more.
Ian casually brushed off Yurrans praise.
It was an old dungeon.
Dungeons tended to attract adventurers, and as a result, bodies piled up, which could easily turn into the undead.
Just now, a soldier had risen from the floor.
It would have been hard to notice if it werent for Danya.
In the darkness of their surroundings, focus was necessary.
Lux.
Everidge reinforced his light magic at the right moment.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
Danyas sniffing increased in frequency.
Ian extracted and transformed a part of Lunar.
Lunar enveloped from the fist to the shoulder.
The adult-sized magic staff in his hand had shrunk to about two-thirds of its size.
There are three in front!
Danya shouted.
About twenty steps ahead, skeletons clad in tattered leather came into view.
Ill take the tank position. Lets initiate the attack.
At Ians order, Danyas magic arrow precisely pierced one of them.
The approaching figures ran straight toward them.
Everidges crossbow sniped the remaining one.
We missed one!
Yurran had let an undead slip past him.
Damn it.
This was supposed to be a test of Lunars performance.
A skeleton soldier, no higher than rank 7.
As he prepared for a punch as usual, he sensed something strange.
Something strange?
A strange energy emanated from the approaching skeleton.
Sulfur?
Everything on the ground was Ians domain.
It felt dangerous instinctively. He drew his shorter and lighter staff with a sense of foreboding.
And then he swung it towards the skeletons head.
Kaah!
Once again, a cheerful impact resounded.
The soldiers head flew off.
But this time, it felt different.
A bit more substantial and as if he had ignited a fuse.
Plug your ears, everyone!
Ian shouted.
And right after
Quaaaaaaa!
The sound of an explosion filled the space.
-Rumble.
Fragments of stone scattered in the vibration.
It was an explosion of considerable scale, even though Lunar briefly shielded around his ears, they still rang.
Is everyone okay? Ian!
Everidge, who was a bit behind, regained his composure and checked on the teams condition. Yurran, who had recovered from the initial shock, looked a bit grim but managed a smile. As for Danya and Ian
Phew.
Ian exhaled and lifted his lowered upper body.
At the same time, he removed his hands from the furry ears.
I can block them on my own, you know.
Danya, taken aback by the sudden closeness, mumbled.
Sorry, it was urgent.
No need to apologize for that Thanks?
Somethings approaching. Animals, predators. Theyre in a group, and there are many.
Danya briefed the team, and soon, something wriggling in the distance came into view.
Everidge, with keen eyesight, provided an explanation.
They are Twilight Wolves. There are about 11 of them. Isnt this going to be a problem?
Twilight Wolves?
Danyas eyes widened in surprise.
Thats understandable.
Twilight Wolves.
They were agile and organized in their combat, making it challenging for mages and ranged dealers to hit them.
Moreover, their leather was tough, and their fur possessed strong magical resistance.
For a team without a knight, they were formidable opponents. Ians team was at a disadvantage due to their affinity. Outwardly, at least.
Strength is magic resistance, weakness is physical damage from blunt weapons. Attacking is done in groups, but retreats are also done in groups.
Of course, there are plenty of strategies.
Everidge prepare the crossbow.
What?
Ian moved forward after completely extracting the Lunar from his back.
Meanwhile.
Lina Rosewell and the members of Team 7, including Jacob, were not in good shape.
The situation on their side was not ideal because the teams tank, Jacob from the Knight Department, had taken a significant hit from the s*icide skeleton soldiers.
They were delayed due to the need to heal Jacob.
How could a Knight department guy like him not dodge that?
Lina Rosewell mumbled to herself.
It was more of a mutter, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.
But This Normally, skeleton soldiers dont explode like this.
Ugh, never mind.
Since they were already a team and couldnt separate at this point, the situation wasnt that bad. They had made good progress until now, so they had some time to spare.
Haaa
Lina Rosewell let out a deep sigh.
Of course, Team 7s members didnt stay silent.
Shes really changed.
Shes not the old Lina anymore.
Even if grades are important, isnt she ruining teamwork?
Lina Rosewell had suddenly transformed.
Kindness and consideration had mysteriously disappeared, replaced by selfishness and aggression.
Simultaneously, her skills had improved somewhat, but
This team had been formed with the expectation of Linas recognition and personality. The accumulated grievances from the past were continuing to pile up.
Meanwhile, Jacobs mental state was noticeably deteriorating.
He received the priests healing magic and was forced to take a mandatory break.
Jacobs sitting eyes shook fiercely.
He was a confident student of the Knight Department.
Yet, he had caused significant trouble for the team.
Moreover, the team he was with was none other than Lina Roswell, who he had been secretly interested in. When this team was formed, he had even tried to make an impression on her.
He had dreamed of a scenario where he would be the one who valiantly protected Lina by her side, rather than some inferior student.
This This cant be happening.
He hadnt wished for such a pathetic situation. He certainly didnt want to fall just because of a crazy skeleton.
F*ck F*ck
Self-loathing reared its head. Simultaneously, the negative emotions buried deep within his heart surged up.
He knew.
Despite his outward arrogance, he was aware of the contradictions within himself. Rather, ever since entering the academy, he had been filled with feelings of inferiority about his own talents and jealousy of the exceptional students.
Jacob discreetly searched his pockets.
[Pills for Peace of Mind]
These were the pills he had bought just in case, on his way to the Magitech Gate.
He swallowed one.
Oh, my. Youve been worrying a lot, havent you?
A sweet voice began to fill his mind.
