Episode 282 I’ll just exchange two numbers
The pitch-black floor, walls, and ceiling vomited out Oobleck Knights.
They surrounded the punitive force while positioning themselves to protect a single entity, which had a crown instead of a helmet on its head.
‘He’s the Oobleck King, just as he looks.’
It is a boss monster in the transfer labyrinth.
One of the faculty members stared at the guy and spoke to Lee Soo-dok and Seo Cheong-yong.
“You two teachers, please take care of the witches. We will guard the main camp.”
If there weren’t enough people gathered in the boss room, one of the two would have had to stay in the main base, but thanks to the crow branch, that’s no longer necessary.
So, Lee Soo-dok and Seo Cheong-yong nodded their heads slightly.
“Of course.”
“All right.”
And as if it had been waiting for this moment, it shot out towards the Witch of Corruption at the same time.
Oobleck King also raised his sword and pointed at the punitive force, and the boss fight finally began.
The Oobleck knights are quickly closing in on the enemy from all sides, and the punitive force is densely packed and has taken up positions in each location.
A loud noise rang out as the two groups clashed.
– Kwaaang!
First, I took a good look at the Dark Oobleck faction.
‘You’ve definitely prepared a lot.’
The level of each and every one of the Oobleck Knights is similar to the ones we met in the previous room.
The quantity is also enormous, and even if you just count the immediately noticeable ones, it is close to spirit.
Besides, even at this very moment, the walls are still spitting out knights without stopping.
‘But I won’t support it.’
This side also had a lot of preparations to make.
The wizards took out a rolled up piece of parchment from their inventory.
It was a magic scroll that was saved for the final battle.
High-grade scrolls, up to Rank A, are ripped in half, and large-scale magic spells that were trapped are released.
– Paaaaat–!
A halo of light rose up and formed a large sphere above the heads of the punitive force.
And then it started to brightly illuminate the entire boss room like the sun.
Then, pillars of light are erected underneath and a temple is built.
‘It’s almost like losing with money.’
What if the environment is unfavorable?
Just change it to your advantage.
Of course, it wasn’t as easy as it sounds, but Yongsal Academy had the ability to make it possible.
The effects were immediate.
The Oobleck Knights are noticeably weakened.
The movements are sluggish, and the longsword that swings at you somehow lacks power.
On the other hand, the punitive force became stronger and began to cut down the enemies like straw.
The Ooblecks blew themselves up here and there in an attempt to cause a little more damage, but it was pointless.
‘It’s a disease that can’t be cured.’
– Boom!
Then the Wubble Knight exploded, spraying a lot of black liquid at Kim Gap-du, who was swinging his fist at the front line.
If it had been him a little while ago, his whole body would have been poisoned and rotted away, but
“……hmm.”
The ink-stained man paused for a moment and then resumed fighting as if nothing had happened.
The other punitive forces also confirmed that they were completely immune to the poison and began to attack the enemies even more fiercely.
In the midst of all this, a hand suddenly grabbed me.
I glanced around and, as expected, it was Dang Gyu-yeong.
He looks at me with eyes that are half discontented, half worried, just like when I went through the boss room portal alone.
“Now, really stay still.”
“That will happen.”
My role ends with the crow branch and the immortality granting.
I plan to maintain spectator mode for the most part.
There was one exception, however,
“If they come from that side, we have to respond.”
“Who, the witch? Why?”
“I did something annoying.”
From the perspective of the Witch of Corruption, all her carefully laid plans came crashing down because of me alone.
It’s not that I hate you, I just want to tear you apart and kill you.
On the one hand, he must have realized that I was only a first-year student who had ruined his plans, and that I would grow into a formidable opponent to be reckoned with in the future.
It’s best to knock it down or damage it in some way now.
So even if it’s an unreasonable number, there’s a high chance that it will come in at least once.
Dang Gyu-yeong raised his shadow nervously.
“Okay, I’ll try to stop it.”
“No, don’t stop me. Just leave it alone.”
“Why again?”
I showed two fingers to Dang Gyu-yeong, who was frowning.
“I’ll just exchange two numbers. Then take them out.”
“… … Really just two Suji?”
“Yes, anything more than that would be difficult for me too.”
“promise.”
We walked with our little fingers interlocked, and soon Dang Gyu-yeong slid into the shadows.
After checking up to that point, I turned my gaze towards the Witch of Corruption,
‘I’m having a blast.’
There, a puddle of even blacker and more vicious filth than the pitch-black boss room was spread out.
It must have been the witch’s territory, but Lee Soo-dok and Seo Cheong-yong were attacking the puddle as if it were their own living room.
The sword of Isu Dok that swings at incredible speed.
The Witch of Corruption tried to block or counterattack in her own way, but the damage she took was greater.
One by one, knife marks appear all over the body.
– Kagagak!
“Ugh… … !”
The witch’s face distorted and she sank into the puddle.
And when he appeared on the other side of the pond, Seo Cheong-yong was already waiting nearby.
Tension pours out from the frozen palm.
– Papa Pot!
‘You’ve mastered the ice technique.’
Similar to Bukgung Hanseol, which is in the 900-point range.
Of course, Seo Cheong-yong’s martial arts are much more complete.
– Bam!
The witch’s head jerked back with a snapping sound.
Her face was imprinted with a frozen palm.
When the witch, unable to resist, runs away to another place, this time Isu-dok rushes in and swings his sword around excitedly.
It’s like… … .
‘… … Whack-a-Mole?’
In fact, it was a fight where the outcome was already decided.
The Blood Cult Elders would have been together until right after the midterm exams, but I guess they split up after the Blood Bomb plan failed.
I heard that even back then, he couldn’t stand it because it was 2 vs. 2 and ran away, but now it’s 2 vs. 1.
Even the two teachers are completely immune to poison thanks to Mandokbulchim.
So you can just wade through the puddle without any problem.
As a witch of corruption, there is no answer.
“Ugh… … !”
Even while being beaten like that, the Witch of Corruption would often send me hostile looks.
It’s as if he’s saying that this is all my fault.
Dang Gyu-yeong grumbled in the shadows, not liking the gaze.
“Look at those eyes, look at those eyes. Why are you looking so upset? Just like that.”
“Even if it looks pretty, isn’t it a problem?”
“That’s true. Just don’t look at it. Just look at me.”
Of course, the Witch of Corruption’s gaze wasn’t simply out of hostility.
She’s timing it.
The timing to strike me.
‘They’re coming in soon.’
Indeed, the witch of corruption has once again hid in a puddle to avoid the poison.
Seo Cheong-yong tried to continue the mole game, but the next moment she appeared, not in a puddle, but right in front of my eyes.
This is a short-distance teleportation magic using Blink.
‘I’m the only one without blinks.’
There’s Dang Gyu-young, Jeong Chong-myeong, Oh Se-hoon, and the witch of corruption, but I’m the only one who doesn’t.
The fate of a walking wizard is so sad.
There was nothing I could do for now, as the A-rank core had to come first.
The Witch of Corruption reached out her hand towards me and gripped it like an eagle’s talon.
A blue mana formed on the five fingers.
They attack me with no poison because they know that poison doesn’t work on me.
It’s a bit lower than the main attribute, but it’ll still be B-rank.
‘It’ll tear as soon as it touches me.’
Of course, this was also expected.
The moment the fingernails were about to scratch my chest.
– Slurp—
My new model slid sideways and was soon behind the witch.
I activated Ghost Shadow and went back in.
At the same time,
[Use ‘amplify’.]
[The rank of ‘Hyeon-eum-ok-ma-ji’ increases. (B→S)]
He poked his index finger, which was frozen solid like a thorn.
But the feeling transmitted to my fingertips was very dull.
It seemed like some kind of defense mechanism was at work.
-Chaeng-!
Indeed, one of the ornaments the Witch of Corruption was wearing broke and scattered like dust.
‘once.’
The witch showed no intention of giving up, and continued to persistently follow him, cutting her nails.
The speed was so agile that it was hard to believe it was from a wizard, so it seemed difficult for me to dodge it now.
The solution in this case is,
‘You just have to not avoid it.’
I just stabbed Hyun-eum-ok-ma-ji in the face.
– Phew,
This time I felt a little bit at the tips of my fingers.
Even though it was reduced by some defensive characteristics, it seems that it was able to break through because the Hyun-eum-ok-maji was an S-rank.
On the other hand, the fingernails that were scratching me,
[‘Distortion’ is activated.]
[Reuse Wait Time 23:59:58]
It passed by on its own, curving before it reached my body.
The Witch of Corruption opened her eyes in horror.
“you……!”
‘Twice this.’
Dang Gyu-yeong jumped out of the shadows and dragged me in.
The next moment we were already a long way away.
As I had promised beforehand, I immediately cast Shadow Leap after exchanging attacks twice.
“I did well.”
“It was very good.”
But right now, first aid took priority over praise.
– Tsk tsk,
Because of the penalty of S-rank Hyun-eum-ok-maji, the cold and magical energy had already begun to encroach on my arms.
I immediately took out the elixir and poured it in, and the fiercely corrosive cold gradually subsided.
Of course, the power was just as great as the penalty.
The Witch of Corruption tried to follow us by using Blink,
– Tsk tsk tsk–
The area where the jade was stuck froze at a terrifying speed, stopping the magic casting.
A flash of light passed over the witch who had paused for a moment,
– Crunch,
One arm fell off and rolled across the floor.
The Witch of Corruption screamed in pain.
“Gyaaaah!”
“Do you have time to look around?”
The one who sent the flash was none other than Lee Soo-dok.
It didn’t end there though.
Seo Cheong-yong approached at incredible speed and struck the Witch of Corruption.
– Phew!
Seo Cheong-yong spoke with a kind smile to the witch who was thrown out and rolling on the floor.
“I think you’re underestimating us.”
The Witch of Corruption stood up, her one remaining hand on the floor.
And I tried to cast a counter magic in a hurry, but even that wasn’t easy.
– Tsk tsk,
Because the cold air running wild inside her body cut off the flow of mana, she ended up allowing Isu Dok to strike again.
The sharp blade cut diagonally through her body,
– Crunch,
The severed upper body flowed down to the floor.
The body was also made of something similar to Oobleck, as black mucus was visible when cut.
“Ugh… … .”
“It’s the end.”
Isu Dok stomped on the witch of corruption writhing on the floor with his shoe.
She squirmed wildly as if indignant, then glared at me and started chattering rapidly.
“This is just my clone! I will return someday! With my master! When that time comes, you and your friends will–!”
– Kwajik,
“good.”
Lee Soo-dok trampled the remaining debris with his shoes.
As the Witch of Corruption said, what just collapsed was a clone.
I was able to sneak into the dungeon island alone because I had at least some insurance.
‘But the ratio is a bit high.’
It is said to be a clone, but it is actually closer to the main body because it has invested more than 90% of its power.
It will probably take a while just to recover?
And in the meantime, we will become strong enough to face challenges head on without the help of our teachers.
I repeated in my mind what the witch had just said.
‘Yes, please come back.’
It would be better if you came with your master.
After confirming that the Witch of Corruption had been completely defeated, Lee Soo-dok and Seo Cheong-yong immediately joined the punitive force.
The situation, which was already leaning towards the punitive force, tilted even more steeply, and the Oobleck King was soon laid down on the ground.
At the same time, a notification message appeared in the corner of my vision.
