chapter 17
16. Public Sniper
-bang
-Kuguwagwagwagwang
Rocks floating in the sky began to fall on the Death Knight at once with a loud noise.
In an instant, the personnel who were filming next to them, and the swordsmen and wizards who were waiting, began to move busily.
One of them shouted.
“The swordsman goes forward and removes as much debris as possible, and the wizards deploy defensive magic!”
– spatula
– Ting ting ting ting ting…
The large fragments were removed by the swordsmen, and the remaining debris from flying to the shooting team or the wizards with weak durability stats, deployed defensive magic to prevent them, and everyone worked together to cope.
The magic used by the Masked Instructor was so powerful that it made the earth dent, so it was natural to have an effect on the surroundings. Fortunately, the place where Death Knight stood and where other people were filming and watching was quite far away, so no one was seriously damaged.
“Meteor?…”
As Hyena Jang muttered, viewers who were watching the live broadcast were also in an uproar.
– Are you really Meteor?
– Isn’t Meteor SS-class magic? It’s absurd
– Take a look again. It’s a little different from Meteor.
– uh? It’s definitely a small rock for a Meteor, isn’t it?
– ㅇㅇ The original Meteor is damn big
– So what the hell is that crazy magic?
– I think the stone was enchanted with fire properties.
– f*ck…lah, that’s ridiculous. Don’t talk sh*t.
– I don’t think it makes sense either… but I guess I’ll have to check it out later when I see it again.
Those who knew about magic to some extent understood in their head how the magic used by the Masked Instructor was unfolding. But even after seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn’t believe it.
Actually, Hyena Jang is also a magician who can handle magic to some extent, so it was clear that the fiery rocks falling from the sky to the ground were not real Meteos. But at the same time, it was hard to believe that the things falling like lightning from the sky now applied C-class magic called ‘Stone’.
– twitch
Suddenly, Hyena Jang came to her mind and thought.
‘Ah… Why am I like this today? Really, I have to be more alert and straight forward to a time like this. It’s a chance to get to know millions more about me. Calm down, Hyena Jang.”
Although Hyena Jang has 5 million subscribers, the placenta is a ghost subscriber. Therefore, she thought that she should continuously appeal to the charm that would naturally attract people who are watching live in real time to her subscribers.
Hyena Jang took a deep breath and shouted.
“everyone! Look over there! The magic that looks like Meteor seems to have been created by mixing C-class stone magic, enchantment magic, and other low-level magic! Isn’t that surprising? That Death Knight! I’m doing nothing and I’m falling helplessly! Not even a swordsman, but a wizard!”
-Whee!
She moved her body toward the masked instructor to take a closer shot.
‘You have to show a more provocative side.’
Even though she knew it would be dangerous, she continued to approach the scene where the fire rock was falling.
***
[Ugh…]
– spatula
-visor
-Kwagwagwagwang
The fire rocks that fell like crazy, and the Death Knight couldn’t afford to do anything else.
[Damn it…]
He had to defend against even the splintering debris that fell nearby while smashing the fire rocks that were falling towards him.
-Ting
-Ting
-Ting
The fragments that flew in because they could not stop it continued to stack the damage on the Death Knight’s body.
– spatula
[There will be no end like this.]
Death Knight gave up on blocking all attacks and began to raise his own magic while taking damage from some rocks.
-Whee!
– quaang
[Cool…]
Even in that short time to gather magic, the rocks that came from the air hit the Death Knight strongly.
Until now, Death Knight has been regenerated dozens or thousands of times while serving as a dungeon boss and has met numerous wizards. So, I was rather perplexed. He wanted to deny the fact that he was suffering so much damage from rocks that were nothing more than a collection of low-level magic.
[Ouch…]
However, the more he took the rock with his body, the more he could feel the blood rushing out of his throat, and he had no choice but to admit it.
[This magic… it’s not normal magic…]
I laughed and talked to the Death Knight who was muttering in trouble.
“Do you even know? It’s a mix of so many things, so every time you hit it, it feels like you’re smashing your whole body with a large iron hammer.”
Death Knight’s durability stat is quite high. However, apart from that, there were too many rocks falling from the sky. Repeatedly, even the smallest impact can cause damage to the body. Even the rocks that are now falling are explosively increasing in acceleration due to the enormous gravity.
Even if you block it, the recoil will occur, and if you cut it, shards will splatter on your body. The fragments splattered on his body would rise to fire and torment him, and he would have no choice but to suffer greatly.
I thought as I looked at the Death Knight whose movements were slowing down.
‘Now, it’s time to finish it’
The performance showed enough to overflow.
-Paang
[Uh… what are you doing!]
I threw myself into the battlefield where fire rocks were falling.
The magic I’m running now seems to drop randomly, but I’m using all angles and trajectories one by one. Therefore, even if I entered the battlefield, the rock would not collide with me.
Jang Hye-na’s voice was heard next to her.
“G… now! The masked instructor jumped into the pit of fire! The caster himself can be swept away by his own magic! Would it be okay?!”
– woo woo
As if answering her words, I quickly rushed towards the Death Knight.
And, in an instant, the magic was canceled. Then, in an instant, the rocks that filled the sky disappeared.
– spatula
Like a Death Knight who was a seasoned swordsman, as soon as the magic disappeared, he quickly swung his sword towards me. However, that sword attack only slightly cut the clothes I was wearing, and did not do any effective damage.
-Cock
I climbed on top of his giant sword and released external mana from there, gaining momentum.
-Paang
The body rushes to the guy’s face in an instant.
-tup
Already, exhausted from being hit all over his body by hundreds of rocks falling at a tremendous speed, the Death Knight only reacted properly to his first sword attack. After that, he could not take any meaningful action and gave up space to attack himself.
“absorption”
-Whee!
He placed his hand on the Death Knight’s torso and instantly absorbed magical energy, recovered using recovery, rotated for synchronization, and finally released to attack him, everything was completed in less than a second.
– aa
The released Magi correctly hit the guy’s face.
-dump
Finally, the tough Death Knight fell to his knees.
– turbo
– turbo
I walked slowly in front of him.
[Cool… Turn it off…]
The guy who was crawling on the ground in pain no longer lost the terrifying appearance that the Death Knight had.
“What do you think? If so, did you feel any difference in class?”
[…]
Even while looking at me who was right in front of me, the Death Knight knelt down on one knee and talked to me while forcing his trembling body to move rather than attacking.
[I admit defeat… You must have been sent by the Prophet… From now on, I will regard you as a lord.]
– tyring
– Hidden Quest: Perfect surrender of the Death Knight] has been fulfilled. The Death Knight recognizes you as king.
As soon as I heard the guide sound, the Death Knight handed me a sphere and talked.
[Lord, my body is already bound by black magic, so I cannot raise my sword by your side. Am I just a ghost trapped in this dungeon? Even though my body cannot get out of this place, my will will always regard you as my lord and I will be with you. All of me is contained in that thought sphere. Please, accept this.]
As I was handed the sphere, information came to mind.
[Death Knight’s Thought Ball]
▶ It is a sageonggu where you can feel an ominous energy. When used, it is possible to acquire the swordsmanship that the Death Knight possessed in stages.
‘crazy. Isn’t this great?’
After possessing this place, I didn’t even think about using swordsmanship.
Because I didn’t have any skills related to swordsmanship. However, if you use this thought phrase, it will be different in the future. The Death Knight was a man called a swordsman in his lifetime, so he will surely be able to acquire swordsmanship-related skills with this.
‘Now I can use swords as well as magic.’
As I was smiling happily in the mask, the Death Knight looked at me and talked.
[Master, I am glad that you seem to like it. I will run out of magic and return to the pitch black. Please, I hope to see you again next time…]
– Hui Yiying
The Death Knight disappeared as ashes in the air.
“…”
In the creepy quiet surroundings, even Jang Hye-na, who had been making a lot of noise until a while ago, was paying attention to only me without saying anything.
Perhaps, the situation in front of them was more shocking than the hidden quests and their rewards that were difficult to witness. Death Knight’s perfect surrender.
With that form, he finally proved it. The fact that a wizard can clear A-grade dungeons alone.
I talked while looking at the camera that Hyena Jang was holding with the people standing blankly behind me.
“Clear the Class A dungeon solo by the wizard alone. Success. President Baek Ju-seok.”
In an instant, the people who had been watching as if they were dead poured out cheers all at once.
“Waa!!!!”
“First! This is the first time a wizard has cleared an A-grade dungeon alone!”
People who were watching the broadcast were also upset.
– Wow… that’s crazy. A real wizard solos A-grade dungeons?
– Isn’t that difficult to test?
– ㅇㅇ None of the swordsmen except for the head of the Baal Guild is a Class A single person.
– It’s crazy. Hurry up and watch the replay. The last Meteor? That was so cool, I want to see it again
Clearing an A-grade dungeon alone without the buff of a support wizard or the help of a swordsman with incredible physical strength was enough to shock many people.
I take advantage of this momentum. talked into the camera.
“Everyone, there is only one high-grade magic that I used while attacking the dungeon, A-grade. So, all of these results can be said to be due to the use of external mana. It is thanks to this method of using external mana that the wizard, who was considered inferior to the swordsman in the dungeon raid, was able to break this place alone!”
Of course, what I’m saying is half a lie. No matter how much you practice external mana, there are very few people who can use it like me. No, maybe not.
This is a simple principle. Just because the world’s best chefs use the same tools, ingredients, and recipes, doesn’t mean that everyone can create a dish with a heavenly taste. Likewise, learning external mana doesn’t mean that everyone can do crazy things. But apart from that, it would have been a huge motivator for people.
‘Anyone can become like me if they work hard. You don’t even need S-class magic. It’s possible even if you’re not a natural genius. Of course, assuming that you use external mana.’
This is the message I wanted to convey throughout the dungeon raid.
‘Okay, now that the plates are laid to some extent, we have to do a wide-area taunt here.’
Currently, I have fully demonstrated my abilities. And it was watched live by millions of people. No, I’m still watching. So I looked at the camera and talked.
“President Baek Joo-seok. Now who is an amateur?”
“I forgive you for making fun of me. After all, people see as much as they know.”
“But you have to pay the price for driving me like an amateur or even a scam instructor. When you publicly shot me, you must have taken the aftermath into account, right?”
I paused for a moment and looked at the reporters. All the people were concentrating, even reducing their breathing, for fear that my voice might not be recorded in the microphone or the recording magic tool.
I looked at the camera and spoke openly to Baek Joo-suk to the numerous cameras.
“To the instructor who said you were a scammer, an amateur, I want you to prove yourself this time.”
“Dear President Baek Ju-seok, I openly request a magic match.”
