chapter 44
Chapter 11 Dragon Heart (4)
I headed northwest.
It was in the direction away from the center of the field.
“Frondier, is it okay to go in this direction?”
“yes?”
Aten spoke next to him.
“As far as I know, I heard there is a boss in the center of this field.”
“Yes, yes.”
This skill earns points as much as you defeat monsters.
Of course, the points obtained for each monster are different.
Stronger and higher-ranking monsters have higher points than weaker monsters, and small and fast ones who mainly run away have higher points in their own way.
And one of them has an unusually high point.
A guy who changes the track enough to say that even if he catches just one of them, the first place is certain.
That’s the field boss.
“If you are aiming for a field boss, going to the center is… … ?”
Aten’s doubts were natural.
I nodded.
“Um, yes. But I won’t.”
“Yes?”
The field boss is a guy who is too young for my specifications.
In my memory, it’s a monster named ‘Truncoons’, but you can think of it as a terrifyingly gigantic long-lived beetle.
A simplistic one who flies, bites, and hits with his torso.
But the simple specification is so powerful that there is no room for me to do anything about it.
If I use ‘Gram’, I can do anything, but there are a lot of students who are taking on the challenge of Trunkons, so I have a lot of eyes to see, and I still don’t have enough mana to use Gram freely.
“Let’s catch the monsters outside while the other students have their eyes on the field boss.”
In a little while, the center of the field will be in the middle of chaos.
The Jeonggong method to attack the boss, the safety group to subdue the monsters around it, the hyenas who hide their eyes to steal the boss’s material, and even the thieves who try to rob the students’ pockets.
I can’t stand that dizzying fight.
“But the number of monsters on the outskirts is decreasing.”
“it’s okay.”
I’m not all
We took advantage of the time our attention was focused on the boss and went out to kill the monsters on the outskirts.
And when I had acquired a considerable amount of material, I stopped.
“The operation went well. That’s enough for me to get good grades without any problems.”
“… … .”
“Mr. Frontier?”
I could hear Aten, but I was caught up in something ominous.
“… … not too much.”
“Not too much. I think this is enough material.”
“Not monsters, but humans.”
This is outside the field.
Originally, there was nothing to say about it, but there was some eerie energy revolving around it.
Aten said.
“You just said Mr. Frontier. I think everyone will be preoccupied with the field boss.”
“Yeah, but I thought there would be other students thinking like me.”
I never thought that I would be able to catch a monster without any interruption.
Anyone can come up with ideas like this.
But after going out, I haven’t met any students.
Is this really just a coincidence?
Is it really that all the students are heading towards the center, and there is only one student who has come this way?
I looked around for a moment.
I checked a drone that was faithfully filming this nearby.
… … Let’s see, if we can weave that and float it in the sky, we can check the war situation.
It shouldn’t be just weaving, but you might be able to use black cloth.
I put the drone in the workshop.
[Imitation of Constell-made shooting drone]
– A fake that mimics the appearance of Constell’s video drone
– There is no video function because it is fake.
“… … What?”
As soon as I saw it, a feeling of cheapness ran through my whole body.
“… … Aten.”
“Yes?”
“Watch out for your surroundings.”
Aten was about to say something to me, then took a stance and looked around.
You must have saved my words by looking at my face.
thank you for that care
‘Was it fake from the beginning? No, I can’t.’
Then you will get caught right away.
Anyway, there is Aten by my side.
If the screen to take an arten doesn’t appear, it’s going to show up right away.
In other words, after the game started, the drone was replaced without my knowledge, taking advantage of the time when my eyes were focused on the field boss.
The drone that was so close next to me changed, and I didn’t even notice it.
… … A different kind of power.
I made a decision.
“Menosorphos.”
He spread a magic circle with his remarks.
Rather, take the opportunity where the enemy has not yet appeared, and strengthen the defense.
All coordinates in the realm of Menosorpo are mine.
In other words, if the enemy is inside, you can see it right away.
“Frondie, what are you doing-”
“Shh.”
I put my finger to my lips.
Even if this is enough, Aten will also feel serious.
but.
I was worried that my voice had not trembled or that it had not been noticed by Aten.
‘… … What is this monster?’
A cold sweat ran down my back the moment I opened it.
The enemy is already in the realm.
It’s not far either.
I can feel its momentum scratching my skin.
There was a huge sense of pressure that made the boss of this field feel ridiculous.
Location is-
“what.”
And a voice that suddenly flew away.
Aten was startled and turned towards him.
Aten was rarely surprised.
The enemy is close enough to hear a voice.
Because I just didn’t realize that.
“Did you catch me?”
Slowly through the darkness with a carefree voice,
A man appeared.
… … Gray hair, coarse beard.
A muscular body and a huge sword to match it.
The man walked with it on his shoulder.
I looked at it as if frozen.
know who you are
Named characters and villains.
The fact that no matter what I do now, I can’t resist.
—The Chaos Eater, Renzo.
A man in the strongest rank among human villains is standing in front of me.
“I didn’t know you would be caught. Hey, it feels good. I don’t know what this magic circle is, but I have good judgment that it was played here.”
“… … .”
I didn’t respond.
Normally, he would have said a sarcastic word, but his lips were glued together and he didn’t even flinch.
Rather, it seemed to arouse Renzo’s interest.
“… … Do you know me?”
At Renzo’s words, Aten glanced at me with her eyes.
“Do you know anyone?”
“I can’t say too long. enemy No matter what the two of us do, we can’t compete.”
“… … You can tell just by looking at it.”
Even during that brief conversation, Renzo slowly approached us, and we retreated that much.
“What does it mean to us?”
I forced my mouth open.
I needed time to think.
room to escape.
There may be something like that, but it’s better than doing nothing.
“Oh, I’m not interested in you. The purpose is to have a princess next to you.”
“Is it your fault that the students did not see it?”
“okay. I put a barrier barriers to access. It naturally turns people in a different direction. without even realizing it.”
barriers to access.
I don’t want to go there for some reason, it doesn’t seem to be this way, so I create a place where I don’t go ‘unwittingly’ with an appropriate thought like that.
The effect is slow in the city center, but in an open field like this, the barrier will work very well.
“Why? What are you going to do to the princess?”
“I do not know. I just work for money.”
“… … Did you get enough money to do the job of kidnapping the princess?”
“Well? I just took it in moderation.”
thud-
The man lowered the sword on his shoulder.
You can feel its weight with the vibration you can feel so far.
“Anyway, money doesn’t matter. I just do it because it looks fun.”
yes, this is a man
A common expression used by troublemakers, it causes accidents wherever they go.
What would happen if an unparalleled strong man did such a thing?
Renzo was the one who came up with such a non-funny joke as a person.
Renzo has no beliefs, no dreams, no goals.
If it looks fun, do it.
With the same mindset as a child, he wields that absurd power.
So villain.
Even if he knows what he’s doing is evil, he doesn’t care about such things, so he’s the closest villain to evil.
“Okay, so there’s nothing to see for you. ‘Cause I just need to bring a girl next to me. Well, given the circumstances, I heard that it wouldn’t matter if I killed him.”
“Is that ‘fun’ for you?”
“no. What happens after that is interesting. Is it the abduction of the princess or the murder of the princess? It’s fun, and I’ll follow you after that.”
damn it
All of Constell’s teachers and the Imperial Knights will come to kill him, but that’s just for fun?
“Do you think I’m going to follow along?”
Aten said in displeasure.
At that, Renzo blinked a few times.
“Ugh. But?”
so said
Aten’s eyes grew cold.
Cooling the temperature around her, her white hair shone.
Aten reached out.
Binggye Magic Type 3
Improvised, ranged, amplified
glacial fog
The magic unfolded right where Renzo was.
A glacial mist that instantly lowers the surrounding temperature and freezes the target.
Renzo’s whole body froze in an instant at the magic that spread even triple enchantment at once.
“Mr. Frontier! Hurry and run away from this break!”
Aten hurriedly spoke to me.
blah-
It froze for less than a second.
Renzo’s steps were so natural.
It was as if he had not been possessed by magic.
He said as he brushed off the ice particles from his clothes.
“It’s what I think.”
That carefree face,
“Be quiet.”
It is a horror to those who see it.
“… … ”
Aten reached out again and gathered mana.
I put my hand on her shoulder.
“… … Aten.”
“Why are you calling me?”
“You are the one who needs to run away.”
I pulled Aten lightly and stepped forward.
Whoops, I took a deep breath that was close to a sigh.
Such an absurd event has never appeared in this practical test.
Maybe because Aten came to my class, or because Philly moved more actively than the game.
I don’t know what the butterfly effect is.
This can only prove that Etius is a huge mangem.
“If there is an opportunity, run away.”
Aten must not die here.
She also excels as an elemental mage, but she has a more important role.
Although she herself has not yet realized her talent, Aten is a healer with great abilities.
I don’t even know the basics of healing magic right now, but someday I will.
So, if Aten goes wrong, it’s game over anyway.
However, it was only after I died that I saw the evangelism.
‘Probability that I can beat Renzo.’
It’s ridiculous.
Not even worth thinking about
‘Possibility of successful escape of Aten.’
extremely low
I told Aten to run away, but I didn’t expect it to happen.
Renzo is relaxed now. It’s not slow.
Even if I make a big gap and make Aten run away, I will catch up with Aten in no time if I make up my mind.
‘Possibility of reinforcements coming.’
… … The only thing to lean on is this.
No matter how the screen that comes out now is the center dealing with the boss, it will feel strange if Aten does not appear continuously.
Renzo would know that, too, but he wouldn’t think too deeply about it.
From Renzo’s point of view, whether the abduction of the princess succeeds or fails, it would be good.
Its purpose is simply ‘fun’.
So I’m just making the most of my time here.
When Menosorpo is still active.
breathe in,
I put my hand on the black lotus that I hung around my neck.
And with power, he crushes the black lotus.
Weaving (織造), Heukcheon
Rank – Shinwei (神位)
Ikeira
Artemis arrow.
I floated an arrow in the air and aimed it at Renzo.
The bow ‘Chryselakatos’ is still ‘women only’, so I can’t use it yet.
I had no choice but to borrow the Menosorpo’s ability and use it as a temporary measure.
“… … ho.”
Even in a situation where Shinyu’s arrow is aimed at him, Renzo only throws a dry admiration.
I said.
“Law (落雨).”

– Nakwoo (落雨): It will become rain
with those words.
The arrows swelled innumerable in an instant and filled the area around me.
“good.”
With that said, arrows become rain.
It slammed towards Renzo.
