chapter 41
Episode 41 – Did you learn something like that?
41. Did you learn something like that?
Quad deud deud deuk!!
A mountain-like pressure that feels as if your whole body will explode at any moment.
Leon clenched his teeth.
There was a fishy, metallic taste inside my mouth.
My head was pounding and my vision continued to flicker into black and white.
Kddudeudeudeudeudeuk!!
Sparks flash between the Celestial Sword and the golems’ weapons.
The floor he was standing on was crushed and broken into pieces shaped like spiderwebs.
Leon once again released mana from his body to push away the pressure.
“Hmph!”
As the muscles in his limbs swelled and blood spurted out from his neck and face.
Deuddeudeudeuk!
Surprisingly, Leon’s knees and waist began to straighten little by little.
The golems decided that this wouldn’t work.
They each tried to twist and pull out their weapons.
Heukun Ilsa, the 3rd form of Jecheon Sword Technique containing the techniques of Heup (吸), made this impossible.
As for Leon, as he boasted, he had completely tied the hands and feet of his enemies.
Because of this, it was natural for him to get feverish and scream.
“Hey you bastards! “Why don’t you come quickly?”
“””······!”””
The 1st team members who had been watching Leon’s struggle in a daze finally started gasping and moving.
Leon did everything, so there was nothing difficult for him.
Giric! Purr!
The golems felt the cadets climbing on their backs and tried to twist their bodies.
Leon poured out all his mana and firmly blocked this.
The stronger adsorption held them in place so that they could not even move.
Would it be unintelligent to let go of the weapon?
They were struggling, holding on to the tightly tied handle of their weapon.
Take advantage of this moment.
The members of Group 1 held their swords backwards and, with agile movements, dug into the backs of the golems’ shoulders.
They are always at the forefront of all formations, and their skills are the best in Class A.
The bodies they were standing on shook and shook a lot as they struggled.
It doesn’t seem like it’s any problem.
The cadets jumped over the shoulder and fell down, sinking their blades into the jewels on their chests.
Kagagagak-!
A blade that enters with splinters splashing and making a scraping noise.
When the sword dug deep enough to leave only the hilt, the red jewel turned green.
The eye light between the golem’s helmets went out and stopped working.
As before, this is only a momentary effect.
Within a few seconds, the light will come back and it will start working again.
According to Leon’s words, in order to completely defeat them, all four jewels had to be broken at the same time.
Kagagagagagak! Go go go go!
Luckily.
The remaining team members’ swords also completely pierced the jewel in no time.
The light of the jewels changes one after another, and the light from the golems’ eyes fades.
Kung, Kugu Googung!
Their new model fell apart like a doll with its strings cut.
The cadets breathed a sigh of relief as they saw their fallen enemies.
[Pass!]
Between the fluttering dust, falling rocks, and messages floating overhead.
“No, don’t you really want to move quickly?”
The face is distorted like a hideous evil creature.
Leon walked out hurriedly, shaking off his sword.
“You guys are doing this on purpose to f*ck me, right? “After today’s exam, I really lost everything.”
Paaat!
Luckily for the cadets, Leon’s speech was cut off as he moved on to the next step.
* · * *
Paaat!
[This is the 4th stage of Lilvgeus breakthrough.]
[Kill the leader of the enemy army.]
[Evaluation will begin in 30 seconds. 30, 29······.]
A strange comment comes to mind.
The cadets of Class A began to understand their surroundings.
The night sky with a crescent moon.
Damp and musty air.
The sounds of insects, birds, and birds.
Trees with wide leaves and tall heights.
Even the vines, ferns, and weeds that connect them.
It was a terrain close to a tropical rainforest, or jungle.
“I think the enemy is talking about those things?”
Hearing someone say something, the cadets all looked down at their feet.
They were lying at the edge of a high cliff.
At the foot of the cliff, a fairly large tribal village was formed.
A wooden fence as tall as a person surrounded the entire village.
Inside, there were over thirty huts made of tangled grass.
Dirt roads, perches, watchtowers, etc. Were placed at regular intervals.
Also.
The owner of the village was not human.
“Are you a lizardman…?”
Lizardmen.
A bipedal lizard-shaped monster.
Over 2 meters tall and with skin covered in green scales.
There is a crocodile’s head on top of the thick neck.
It has enough strength to tear an adult human to pieces with its bare hands.
It is not as dangerous as an orc, but it is a monster so dangerous that it is embarrassing to compare it to a goblin.
These guys were wandering around the village, each holding a spear as tall as themselves.
“You look over 50?”
“Are you telling me to go through that?”
“Seeing as there is a leader, I guess there is a Lizard King.”
Size, strength, speed, etc.
An individual whose specifications are twice as good as that of other Lizardmen is called a Lizard King.
Such entities usually combine Lizardmen to rule over large tribes.
The condition for passing the evaluation to deal with the leader would be to kill the guy.
“Leon, what should we do?”
24 Pairs of eyes focused on Leon.
“Hmm.”
Leon, who received attention, grinned and raised his open palm.
Number 5.
The cadets’ expressions changed strangely.
* · * *
Central control room.
[······3, 2, 1.]
[Start!]
As soon as the curtain is lifted.
The Class A cadets were divided into two groups and dispersed in two directions.
The only thing that didn’t move was Leon, who was standing alone on the cliff.
“hahahaha.”
It looks like he’s really looking forward to it.
Hera flicked her tongue and rolled her eyes beautifully.
The cadets who jumped off the cliff spread out and began to surround the village.
Wide and shallow.
It is not divided into several groups, but rather each person is separated from each other to form a circular siege net.
The instructors who saw that scene were drooling.
“Are you an individual sect?”
“The Lizardmen are not that easy of an opponent…”
If only there were more.
It seemed reckless to fight alone against an enemy force that was twice as large.
Thanks to his innate physical and wild nature.
Lizardmen were enemies that could not be easily seen even by expert warriors.
It is not uncommon for a limb to be cut off by a large spear with just one twist.
Of course, the instructors’ concerns did not reach us.
The cadets were narrowing down the siege.
He lowered his posture and hid himself in the darkness and bushes.
The sight of it approaching with its sharp eyes shining was reminiscent of a wild beast stalking its prey.
The Lizardmen village was gradually surrounded by intruders.
The cadets soon reached the barrier.
There is a bit of silence and an exchange of glances.
Carotene, the red-haired cadet, shouted loudly.
“——!!!”
Then.
24 Sword energy flared up at once, brightening the forest in the early evening.
The Mana torch hanging from the sword was enough to startle the patrolling Lizardmen.
It doesn’t stop there.
“Wow!!!”
“Waaah!!!”
“Keee!!!”
The cadets screamed like crazy monkeys, putting their stealth so far into shame.
“Ahhhhh!
“Your mother salamander!!!”
“Kill them all!!!”
Did you at least practice?
The female cadets also shouted and screamed like barbarian warriors without any shame.
It was enough of a provocation to make all the lizardmen in the village grab their spears and run out.
“””???”””
Everyone in the control room was dumbfounded.
“Oh, ah, no. “Is that correct?”
“When sneaking in isn’t enough, are you provoking me?”
“This class is truly unique…”
The market is engulfed in confusion and turmoil.
“Hmm.”
The only people who noticed that Leon, who was standing on the cliff, had suddenly disappeared were a few powerful people, including Hera.
“Did you learn something like that~?”
Hera’s eyes were pinpointing Leon’s location.
Let the cadets start to make a fuss.
Leon, who had been waiting quietly until now, jumped off the cliff.
It started running through the bushes, leaving a black afterglow.
Hera was also a warrior from the Crusif family, so she knew.
That was not Cheonryeongbo.
More secretive and agile walking method.
Assimilated into darkness and shadow.
A movement that deceives even the moon in the sky.
It’s as hazy as smoke.
It is as faint as a ghost.
It was vague, like a dream.
Even at the moment of passing by dozens of cadets and Lizardmen.
No one noticed Leon’s presence.
In the end, he deceived everyone at an even faster pace.
It glided into the center of the village.
Without any hesitation, the steps led all the way to the largest hut in the village.
Leon flashed an eerie red glow.
He infiltrated the inside while holding the sword backwards.
Soon.
Not even a minute has passed.
“Kyaooooo!!!!!”
A cruel roar tore through the night sky.
[—Pass!]
With an incredible message.
The Lizardmen who were attacking the cadets all turned purple.
