Chapter 34 mana core“Then, I wish you all the best.”
This is a dungeon that has already failed once.
With the words of the platoon leader who manages the dungeon, the team dived into the dungeon.
“Shit! what’s this?”
The task force is not alone. Taeseong Yoon was also quite surprised to see the environment of the dungeon.
volcanic zone.
It was all black rock, and hot smoke rose from the cracks. Red lava flows through the gap.
I thought that I had failed to capture the boss monster, but if it was a lava zone…
‘Aren’t magnos going to come out in the 1st rank?’
cancer!
Never should.
No matter how badly the version is, Magnos, a monster that eats lava, should not appear in the first grade.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, nothing but magnos came to mind.
It is the first time for Yun Tae-seong to attack the lava area.
Magnos and Salamander.
If Salamanders appear as monsters, there is definitely Magnos. Because salamanders were the prey of Magnos.
Salamanders are fire lizards that live in lava, and they breathe fire through their mouths and are very resistant to fire-type attacks.
It was a natural result because he lived in lava.
“The fire skill won’t work.”
“Uh… why?”
“Isn’t it lava? Common sense is that a fire attack cannot work against a monster living in a place like this.”
“Start drone reconnaissance!”
The commander of the task force gave the order. Then he looked at the big clock.
Rather than a watch, it seemed that only a string was attached to the PDA, which could be said to be a relic of the past.
It was a prototype of the Mana Radar.
All of these guns were modified prototypes anyway.
Yoon Tae-seong also collected screens. It really looks like radar. Just flashing dots on a black screen.
One concentric circle is 10 meters apart. It could detect up to 100 meters in radius.
Considering it was a radar, it was a garbage item, but in the dungeon, it was fully utilized. It can identify monsters within a 100 meter radius.
blinking dots.
This was the signal reflected by the wavelength of mana.
However, there were no visible monsters.
“I think if this machine is really working, it must be under the ground, right?”
“There must be monsters that live in lava. There are also moving corpses.”
Of course, Yoon Tae-seong knew the monsters in the lava, but he could not pretend to know about the monsters he had never seen before.
While scouting with a drone, Tae-Sung Yoon looked at a sniper rifle.
‘Really?’
If I had received it in advance, I would have tested it.
moved the magic.
There was no need to focus. It’s as natural as breathing to him.
Mana was concentrated on the mana core of the stock. Then… the crystals of mana began to glow softly.
Like the magic stone that acted as the backbone of the dungeon, or when the boss monster uses the magic stone.
You can feel the circuit diagram of mana engraved on the gun through the mana core. From the body to the tip of the barrel, it was a circuit diagram engraved in gold to deliver mana.
‘Is this really possible? Then later on, a hunter who arbitrarily moves his magic will come out.’
Well, if you are a person with a good sense of mana, there is no way that you will not be unaware of the flow of magic while using the skill for 10 years.
‘Is the skill even possible?’
Even if you could concentrate your magic, you wouldn’t be able to use your skills by moving your magic arbitrarily. Because no one would understand the runes.
However, Tae-Sung Yoon is capable of several skills.
It is more efficient to use skills than to just focus on mana.
The two skills he can arbitrarily use are Heal and Abracus.
‘Is it?’
Abracus was a very effective skill, but it was difficult to break through the magic defense of monsters.
So it could not be seen as a useful skill in battle.
But what if you give Abracus to Barrett?
The power of the bullet also increases with magic power, and it can even have the effect of a curse.
‘Is this good?’
Of course, this is only the case with Yoon Tae-sung himself.
But that doesn’t mean that Barrett is the only one. It’s good enough even with a rifle.
However, in this way, you can’t fire continuously, so Barrett, who has a strong single shot, was better.
“Captain, I can’t see anything.”
Drone reconnaissance completed.
There is nothing visible on the surface. It’s the same as seeing with your eyes. It was just a plain made of black rocks.
A crater can be seen in the distance.
“Advance to the crater.”
At the command of the squad leader, everyone in the party moved.
After moving for about 10 minutes, the squad leader’s expression became awkward. A lot of dots appeared on the mana radar, and it gradually approached the center.
“Ready for battle! Watch out for the cracks in the basement!”
Hot steam came up, and from where the lava was visible below, a red-red lizard came up.
It’s a little bigger than a human head.
It was the smallest among the monsters he had faced so far, but no one ignored him.
Because those monsters came from lava.
Stick out your long tongue.
Its teeth are sharp, and its eyes are very ferocious. The skin looks very hard, and lava flows smoothly.
Skin that can withstand such high heat… I wondered if bullets would actually work.
“Captain, there are lizards everywhere!”
“Shit! shooting! Because there are a lot of numbers, I save ammo and fire with three bursts.”
Gunshots from K2 and K7 sounded, and the lizards moved very quickly along with the fire.
There was a hole in the body of the lizards. Green blood drips and dies.
Salamanders can live in lava, of course, their skin is tough, but it’s probably because of the resistance of the fire attribute. And it was created by the magic field.
However, since the Artifact gun pierces the magic field with magic power, bullets are easily pierced.
Since I had fought quite a few monsters so far, the feeling of being shot was different.
“Oh, I can do this. Advance! As we engage, we move forward as fast as we can.”
As I moved forward, I saw traces of the floor being severely damaged, and the dead body of an ally was also found. Of course, only traces of the monster remained.
The salamanders were fiercely chasing them from behind, and the salamanders blocking the front continued to climb up as well.
How many people live in the lava, it was a really huge number.
A salamander even popped out of the moving crowd.
Yoon Tae-seong struck such a man with his hand and killed him.
Arrived at the crater without fatalities. It was a very large and low crater, but the Salamander did not come up here.
Outside the crater, only screams and threats were made. Because these craters are inhabited by their predators.
“Damn you bastards!”
One operator used a high-speed grenade machine gun.
A single grenade shows the explosive power of almost a grenade. Shoot it at high speed.
The magic pierced the Salamander’s magic field, and the explosion swept away. The floor was destroyed.
It was the power of a normal grenade, but it was even more lethal to monsters.
Just blow the salamanders cool.
the top of the crater.
There was a large, hollow place, and in the center was a large egg that was likely to be 1 meter high.
“What the hell is that…?”
Not a monster, right?
‘Damn… Eggs of Magnos, what the hell are you doing?’
Is that a boss monster?
Maybe it will hatch? Then the dungeon explodes?
Yoon Tae-seong went down and looked at the surface of the egg, and it was full of runes. The magic crystal was at the bottom of this egg… or it seemed to be inside.
You can feel great heat in the egg.
It seemed to absorb the heat rising from the center of the crater.
‘Isn’t it supposed to break the egg and deal with Magnos?’
Even if it was just a baby born from an egg, Tae-Sung Yoon heard a lot of notoriety about Magnos.
It was a monster that boasted tremendous attack power by spewing flames out of its mouth.
“Let’s shoot.”
Yoon Tae-sung agreed with the squad leader’s words. So backing away, the crew started firing.
Tutu!
Rifles, submachine guns, and even bombing of grenades!
But the egg was very hard. It wasn’t a magic field, but the egg itself seemed incredibly hard.
Despite heavy bombardment, there were no scratches.
“Stop shooting!”
“This isn’t a sphinx riddle, it’s a goal hit.”
Park Hae-jun muttered while looking at the egg.
This wasn’t a fight, it felt like I was screaming at the wall by myself. The other side doesn’t respond at all.
‘Power is not 1+1=2.’
Especially the magic.
If you use two rank 1 skills, the power of rank 2 does not come out. It comes out with a power of about 1.2. Because the concentration of magic is different.
‘I hope Barrett works.’
Otherwise, you have to wait until the egg hatches.
“I’ll do it.”
Tae-Sung Yoon put Barrett on his shoulder.
Originally there was a support on the floor, but instead of it, a handle was installed.
By concentrating as much magical power as possible to reach level 2, Abracus was used.
Magic moves through the mana core.
Aim the egg and pull the trigger.
The roar of the anti-ship sniper rifle resounded, and a huge recoil hit the shoulder. It is an anti-ship sniper rifle that uses 50 BMG even if the recoil is reduced due to the short recoil method.
If it were a normal person, I wouldn’t have been able to shoot properly.
However, despite such a reaction, Yoon Tae-sung firmly persevered.
‘Wow······!’
The squad leader was amazed by the side.
A 50 caliber bullet hit the egg. The bullet was lodged in the egg.
Awkward!
The egg began to crack around the place where the bullet was embedded. The egg shattered, and a red lizard emerged from the inside.
It looked a little different from the Salamander I met a while ago.
It is more slender and has a very long tail, and its scaly body appears very rigid. In particular, the upper back of the tail looked like a sword…
– Kek! keek! Kek!
Mouth on fire! Shush! Shhh! came out
Are you short of breath?
It looks like Abracus went through.
“Sa, shoot!”
The squad leader shouted, and the crew opened fire at the bright red lizard.
Even with rifles and grenades, I aimed at him and bombed him.
shhh!
He moved very quickly.
They are faster than any monster they have ever faced. It was difficult to properly aim.
He blocked his tail attack with a barret, but that part broke.
sharp and very strong.
slapped the guy on the back.
‘Shit! It’s really hard.’
I could really understand this guy’s notoriety.
It is hard and moves quickly, but the attack of its tail is also very scary. This guy attacks by blowing flames with his mouth.
Tae-Sung Yoon used a hast to catch up with his movements.
Immediately after that, he took out Asuka’s greatsword.
It wasn’t a suitable weapon to deal with such a small bastard, but it was to deal with him at once.
Amplifies the power of the divine, that is, the power of the Heavenly Demon God Gong.
The Cheonma Island, which was used as a power of 2nd level of magic power, was a great swordsmanship.
Up to amplification by Asuka’s Greatsword.
The great sword slashed the back of the guy with an oblique line, and the blade went in about halfway.
If it wasn’t for his hard scales, he’d probably split his body in half.
– aah!
The guy screamed.
While pulling out his sword, he kicked the guy’s head with his foot.
tenacious vitality.
His body was cut in half, and he struggled.
He stabbed him in the head with his sword.
‘Ttt! I was trying to roll around Hyuksoo hyung.’
There’s nothing we can do about these guys because they can’t get through the flames.
The body of the magnos chick turns to dust and disappears. The dust created an item.
It was a long whip that seemed to have been made with the scales of Magnos a while ago.
[Magnos’ Whip]
A whip made from the scales of Magnos. It is very hard and tough, and has the power of fire.
From the weapon to the power of the attribute, this was a pretty good item.
The magic stone was also under its shell.
The magnos disappeared into dust, but the shell remained broken.
Even the complex runes engraved on the outside are intact.
Just in case, he put it in his backpack. In dungeons, items you have are basically allowed to enter.
This is why soldiers only carry personal firearms. If it wasn’t for that, I would have dragged a self-propelled artillery into the dungeon.
‘Does that mean that you can take the things inside if you bring them?’
So, you can go out with items.
The dungeon was cleared when the magic crystal was removed.
