Chapter 119. record (3)
“A change of thinking? What are you talking about?”
Yuri looked up at the sky at Thearesia’s expression that she didn’t understand.
Looking at the sun slightly over the mid-heaven, Yuri measured the time.
‘About 10 hours left?’
Now you have to get ready and go register your points before the sun goes down.
but… … .
‘First of all, what should I do with this person who looks at me as if I’m going to punch a hole in my face?’
It was an intense gaze that would really puncture his own face if he wondered just twice more.
Yuri gasped at Thearesia’s crimson eyes.
“Follow me.”
Yuri left those words and walked away.
“… … ?”
After staring at each other for a moment, the group soon caught up with Yuri.
Yuri opened his mouth without looking back at those who were chasing him.
“Suddenly I got that inspiration. Until now, when a trap was triggered, I was in a hurry to avoid it, but… … .”
“… … .”
“What would happen if I triggered the trap while avoiding it in advance?”
At Yuri’s words, Arin and Poppy’s faces said, ‘What the hell are you talking about?’
On the other hand, Thearesia, who was well aware of the type of organ breakthrough quest, hardened her face.
“that… It’s impossible.”
As far as Thearesia knows, the traps here are basically triggered by detecting a tremor.
From the point of entering the institution, all the way forward.
It was the principle that the traps installed in a certain area were triggered by sensing the vibration every time a foot was stepped on.
So, even if you get ahead of the trap that will be triggered, in the end, every time you step on it, a nearby trap will be triggered.
In addition, it was impossible to get a perfect score the way Yuri said, because all the traps had to be activated first to score points.
“Impossible.”
Saying that, Yuri stood in front of a cave.
red entrance.
It was the 7-star cave.
“Take some of this.”
“hungry?”
Poppy unexpectedly accepted the albino sword that Yuri gave her.
Yuri, entrusted with the sword, looked around.
After that, he went to one side and picked up a large stone.
Yuri held three pebbles in each hand, with both hands full.
Facing the tightly closed iron door of the 7-star cave again, memories of the past came to mind.
* * *
Yuri standing in front of the 7-star Institution Cave.
His hand was stopped at a point one centimeter above the button that activated the watch.
If you give me strength like this, the challenge will begin right away.
However, Yuri could not easily press the button and was hardened as if it had become a stone statue.
The reason he did this was because of the uneasiness that had arisen in his heart.
‘Why are you doing this?’
To get rid of the unexplained discomfort, Yuri calmly tried to organize her thoughts.
‘Both 7-star and 2-star will have the same basic goal.’
The way the trap is triggered by detecting vibrations.
However, the difficulty will vary depending on whether the trap is for killing or non-lethal use.
‘If my predictions are correct, it won’t be difficult to get first place.’
Yuri was confident that he would be able to take first place.
188 points set by the current No. 1 Gwonter Ryder.
It will also be possible with a 100% probability of setting a record that completely surpasses that.
‘At least 190 points or more.’
Yuri’s confidence was different from the vague confidence of the foolish people who died trying to reach the 7th star.
Based on the information obtained by touring the 2-star institutions day and night, digging into everything.
It was a calculated confidence obtained by clearly recognizing his current skill and weighing it against a 7-star difficulty level.
That kind of confidence was telling him that he would be able to score over 190 points, but for some reason, Yuri wasn’t happy with it.
‘Only? … ah!’
Then Yuri realized.
That the awkwardness he was feeling right now came from the word ‘only’.
“… Only 190 points?”
A ray of discomfort that started from dissatisfaction was preventing Yuri from pressing the action button on the watch.
Fortunately, that gave Yuri time to get inspired.
No, maybe Yuri’s instincts noticed it and made it impossible to press the button.
Talk-.
Yuri heard an auditory hallucination of small water droplets falling in her brain.
It was the sound of the last drop of devising falling into the puddle of information that Yuri created while contemplating and thinking about this quest.
and.
Squeak-.
The puddle of information that was already on the verge of overflowing overflowed with the last drop.
Shaa-.
It created a new stream of water.
At that moment, Yuri felt a strong sense of joy, and felt a sense of refreshment that opened up her stuffy stomach.
“Ahhh… … .”
inspiration.
It was a word that referred to a feeling, stimulation, or thought that suddenly came to mind.
However, Yuri thought differently.
The inspiration he thinks is the result of constantly immersing himself in one thing and devising it over and over again.
A different path that can be seen belatedly when one is analyzed from various angles.
That was Yuri’s inspiration.
And just now, a new path of inspiration appeared in front of glass.
‘Right.’
He had been thinking wrongly up until now.
Yuri smiled lightly.
“… This was a real trap.”
Concentrating on the quest to break through the agency too repeatedly, he fell into the trap of thinking without even realizing it.
“Why did I think I had to avoid the trap that was triggered?”
It sounded crazy, but that was all Yuri’s inspiration was.
He turned and looked at the expansive view down the cliff.
Now vanished without a trace by Johann, this was the view looking down from the cliffside shelter where he once lived.
As I recalled the old memories, I naturally pictured John walking through the air that day.
I thought it was amazing even then, but now that I have learned horse chess, I know how amazing it is.
It’s a state that I couldn’t even dream of as a current self.
However, it may be impossible to follow 100% of what Yohan showed us, but… … .
‘If it’s my luck right now… 5% will be able to follow.’
And that 5% was enough.
However, if you can follow even 5% of them, all the traps that exist in the 7-star will be useless.
“You need practice.”
Murmuring that, Yuri went down the cliff.
widely-.
The clock of the 2-star institution was activated again.
* * *
The plan conceived from such belated inspiration was a huge success.
And now.
For a girl who was very curious, Yuri was thinking of recreating the moment of great success.
“Look Carefully.”
With those words, Yuri started the watch.
Drurrr!
Then the iron door of the 7-star cave, which had been tightly closed, opened quickly.
Hung-!
The glass blew up and disappeared into it.
Thearesia was frightened.
“Dangerous?!”
I screamed out in surprise, but that was just a belated scream.
Thearesia’s pupils shook as she looked at the place where Yuri had stood a moment ago.
‘Going in without even a weapon!’
Yuri’s sword was held in Poppy’s hand, who was now standing at a distance.
To Thearesia, who knew how dangerous it was down there, what Yuri had done was nothing short of madness.
But what can I do?
what has already happened.
For now, I was just praying that he would come out safely.
Meanwhile, Yuri enters the cave.
His eyes were calm.
Soon, a fork in the shape of a pig nose appeared in front of him.
Closed on the left, open only on the right.
Exactly the same form as the 2-star institution.
Yuri turned to the right without hesitation, and at the same time a lightning bolt surged from his body.
The Redner family’s arcane horsemanship.
thunder wing.
Parts, that is-!
Yuri, who activated the lightning bolt, leaped through the air and passed through the passage on the right.
It was so fast that it looked like a long bolt of lightning.
Yuri, who passed through the entrance in an instant, this time radiated the devil’s spider’s web widely toward the back where he had passed.
Push-.
The floor, walls and ceiling of the cave.
The spider’s web reached everywhere.
At the same time, Yuri quickly recognized the surrounding situation.
‘That was the activation point.’
At the same time as I thought so, a strong vibration occurred through the spider’s web.
Everywhere the spider’s web touches.
It was the vibration created by the demon stream by mixing the air flow, and that caused… … .
Drurrureung-.
The entrance through which Yuri passed was closed, and all sorts of traps were activated in the space he passed through.
Chunk!
thud!
Yuri’s eyes shone as she saw that scene.
‘Looking at it again, it’s a f*cking level.’
As expected by Yuri, the 7-star traps were triggered by detecting vibrations just like the 2-stars.
It’s just that the level of difficulty is terrifying.
Traps that are triggered with the single-minded determination to kill the intruder one by one.
It was to the point where I thought that it was not easy even for Yuri to see.
‘This is how people die.’
What do the dark red marks at the beginning of the institution mean?
I knew that without thinking too deeply.
Now, after passing this entrance, how many more dangerous traps will be prepared in the future?
But all of that had nothing to do with Yuri.
Hung-.
Just as the new model of Yuri that flew through the air was about to fall to the ground.
Yuri threw the stone he had brought with him.
And as if waiting, the soles of his feet kicked his teeth.
The Redner family’s arcane horsemanship.
Unbo (Cloud).
The first season of the Redner family, which says that if you reach the pole, you can step on even the clouds and the sky.
Also, thanks to this institution breakthrough quest, Yuri’s skill level has increased.
Thanks to that, Yuri was able to imitate about 5% of the miraculous scene John had shown him in the past.
Hung-.
Patsut!
Hitting a small stone, Yuri’s new model flew into the air again, and he was engulfed in a thunderbolt and moved quickly.
at the same time.
Let’s go!
bang!
thud!
The demon spider’s web that Yuri had radiated behind it vibrated again, triggering all sorts of traps.
Horrible traps that have claimed countless lives so far.
But today, those traps hit the air in vain.
like that.
fault!
Hung-.
Patsut!
One more stone was thrown and Yuri arrived at the turning point.
fault-!
When the third stone was thrown, he was half way down the aisle to the exit.
And the last 4th stone is thrown.
support position-.
Yuri’s body slipped and passed smoothly through the now half-open exit.
Behind him, he could see countless traps that were just being activated, but Yuri had already passed through the iron door.
bang!
After passing through the iron door, Yuri immediately pressed the stop button on the watch.
“… … ?!”
Thearesia’s eyes widened when the glass that had gone in a moment before had already come out.
Looking at her like that, Yuri threw the remaining stones, one in each hand, behind her and said,
“Anything is possible. As long as you never hit the floor.”
Because that’s Yuri who learned luck.
And it was a word that could be said because the unbo had reached the state it is now.
Tak-tak-.
Above Yuri’s head, lightly brushing off stone dust from her hands.
The only needle of the record-measuring clock hanging at the entrance of the 7-star institution… Stopped in the 4th column.
Seeing this, Thearesia muttered as if possessed.
“… 4 seconds.”
Yuri’s record on the leaderboard was not a lie.
He really broke through the 7-star engine cave in 4 seconds.
She, who had been blankly aware of this, belatedly realized something and asked in a fright.
“for a moment?! Are you in the 7 star again? You said that 7 stars only give you one chance to challenge?”
But didn’t Yuri just come in and out of the 7th star casually?
To Thearesia’s question, Yuri didn’t take it seriously.
“It’s only the first challenge to measure the record, but it’s okay to go in again after succeeding.”
Judging from the way he spoke, it seemed like this wasn’t the only time he’d re-entered a 7-star institution.
Thearesia looked at the glass as if it were absurd.
‘That way… Are you going in again?’
Who would have thought of going back there in the first place?
Others make a fuss over whether or not to come back alive just by entering it once.
However, Yuri was talking as if she was going to play in there.
While Thearesia stared blankly at Yuri like that.
Sreuk – Tak!
The score sheet of the 7-star institution popped out.
It was black, unlike other 2-stars, and the quality of the paper looked quite good.
Seeing Yuri pick up the paper, Arin and Poppy rushed to her side.
“Is that the paper on which the score is written?”
“uh.”
“How many points?”
“Of course only… … .”
… Yuri, who tried to answer with a perfect score, hardened as it was.
Instead, a small murmur escaped from his mouth.
“… Eh?”
“huh? what?”
“hungry?”
Poppy and Arin, not hearing well, glanced over Yuri’s shoulder at the score sheet.
Glass’ hand trembled.
On the black paper he held, golden lines were connected in an archaic fashion to form a single letter.
【Two.】
Someone’s anger was extremely implied in the handwriting, which felt great handwriting.
