I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy - Chapter 66

Chapter 66 – Variable (3)

As soon as Seo-jun jumped out, the 7 hair dryers focused on Seo-jun as if they had promised.

Then, he sharpened the tree trunk and shot it straight at Seo-joon.

Paba Baba Baba Park.

The tree trunks of the dryads shoot like a shower of arrows.

The spear is the longest of all long weapons.

That’s why the skill of the spear was to measure the distance from the opponent and subdue the opponent before they penetrate.

Of course, it was easy to say and difficult to put into practice, but this was the trick and biggest advantage of the spear anyway.

‘If this is the case, I have no choice but to dig…!’

However, the attack patterns of the dryads completely took away the advantage of such spears.

Shooting tree trunks and branches from a distance was much longer than the length of the spear.

Moreover, even if they were cut down, they were constantly regenerating.

Therefore, in order for a dryad to be effective, it had to be hit in close proximity in some way.

‘Gungnir is…’

Seo-joon turned his head to find Gungnir.

Soon after, they found Gungnir, who was away.

‘It’s difficult to approach in the current state. I have to shoot them one by one with Gungnir.’

Dryads are 6-star monsters.

And Seojun still lacked the skills to deal with 6-star monsters.

Of course, if it was one or two, it would have been possible, but there are seven dryads that can be seen now.

Fighting honestly was tantamount to madness.

Seo-jun immediately turned and ran towards Gungnir.

Then, when he found Man-cheol, who was about to run away with his demonic castle on his back, he stopped running.

As I glanced back, the tree trunks of the dryads were rushing fiercely.

If Seo-joon falls out like this, those attacks will go to Man-cheol and Maseong.

‘I must not avoid the attack now.’

Seo-joon broke the momentum of running and grabbed Longinus’s spear in reverse.

Then, in the transcendentalist mock test, he practiced the skills he learned from Yeopo Bong-seon.

Paba Baba Park.

Longinus’s spear spun like a windmill, bouncing off the dryad’s stems.

“Keugh!”

And every time the stems bounced off, Seo-joon had to feel tremendous pain.

Each of the pouring stems was powerful.

If it wasn’t for the Longinus spear, it seemed that Seo-jun’s whole body would have been pierced with a tree trunk right away.

Paba Baba Park.

Seo-jun continued to rotate the spear to check Man-cheol and demonic nature.

Fortunately, Man-cheol was running away as if he had realized that Seo-joon was getting in the way.

Seo-joon confirmed the appearance and immediately jumped off the floor.

Kwak Kwa Kwak!

Then, one after another, the stems were driven into the place where Seo-jun had been until just now, and there was a roar.

Seo-jun tried to ignore the chill on his spine and headed for the place where Gungnir had fallen.

And as soon as he picked up Gungnir, he immediately threw it.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Like that, it was shot out with the momentum of a gung-nir.

Fuhuaaaaagh!

Without fail, a dryad exploded.

“Evee eh!”

Could the tree be possessed by an evil spirit?

Or are you really angry at the death of your own people?

Creepy demonic spirits flowed from the screams that gathered together as if in resonance.

Seo-joon bit off this.

There are now 6 dryads left.

And Gungnir is now placed among those six dryads.

Tadak Seo-joon kicked himself between the dryads without hesitation.

Shushu sousususuk!

Then, as if they had waited, the dryads shot the stems and branches.

The number of individuals had obviously decreased by one, but for some reason the shoots seemed to have grown stronger.

“Suck!”

Seo-joon avoided or parried the attacks as if he were entrusting himself to his senses.

The attacks were like a shower of thousands of arrows.

And after completing Chiron’s lecture, Seo-jun’s senses were surprisingly able to recognize all of them.

however.

Chow!

Indeed, Seo-jun’s body and skills could not keep up with those senses.

Would it have been possible if the progress rate of Hercules’ lecture had been raised even a little?

Or would it have been possible if the progress rate of Jang Sam-bong’s footwork lecture was increased?

“Kuk!”

Seo-joon swallowed his regret and eventually had to step back.

But it did not go away without success.

Excited.

Seojun reached out and retrieved the gunggnir that was lying there.

As the distance increased, the amount of mana consumed for recovery also decreased.

In fact, the reason Seo-jun approached the dryads was to shorten the distance with Gungnir.

Gungnir was excited and eventually returned to Seo-jun’s hands.

“Whoa…!”

Even though the distance wasn’t too far away, Seo-joon felt a slight dizziness from the overwhelming exhaustion.

It’s still at a level that’s just manageable.

“Kie Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

As Seo-Jun grabbed Gungnir, the dryads screamed as if they sensed danger.

It seemed that the dryads were quietly taking a step back.

Seo-joon let out a smile without even realizing it.

“chuck. chuck. Gourd. buy. sir. Ding dong dang dong!”

Fuhuaaaaagh!

One dryad exploded without even screaming.

and.

coogu palace.

The dryads suddenly changed their stance and started running towards Seo-jun.

It seemed that he was aware of the danger of Gungnir and made a decision to prevent Seo Jun from approaching Gungnir.

“Thank you for approaching me on your own.”

However, it was what Seo-joon wished for.

The dryads’ fear was none other than the same attack pattern as before.

It was an almost infinite number of trunks and twigs that kept regenerating and firing.

However, it was no different from the difficulty level dropping from 6 stars to 4 stars.

And it’s not just Gungnir that they’re overlooking.

Chow ah!

The Spear of Longinus, like Gungnir, was also a mythological weapon.

The two dryads approaching Seojun were split in half like tofu by the Longinus Spear containing the power of the Aura Blade.

“Kee kieek!!”

Only then did the remaining dryads begin to run away as if they realized their mistake.

“It’s already too late.”

Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

Seojun was able to deal with the rest of the Dryads without difficulty.

#

“Whoa… I almost died.”

After cutting down the last dryad, Seo-jun was able to breathe.

A battle with seven 6-star monsters.

Seojun looked at the dryads scattered around him and shook his head.

Somehow he won, but if it hadn’t been for Gungnir, the result would have been obvious.

Perhaps it was not the 7 dryads that were lying there cold, but Seojun, Mancheol, and Demonic Spirit.

“Would the Sword Saint believe me if I told you that I sold the blue dragon sword and saved Maseong-nim…?”

Then, Seo-joon moved in the direction where Man-cheol had fled.

And it wasn’t long before I was able to find Mancheol.

“mister! Here you go! here!”

“Sickness…”

Mancheol found Seojun and only then was able to resolve his hardened expression.

“It comes very quickly. What are you doing here so late?”

Man-cheol tells Seo-joon how he came here.

Just now, the dryads didn’t ask how they were able to handle it again.

He just treated Seo-joon like he would treat someone who was late for an appointment.

Seo-joon smiled, thinking that it was nice to see him and that he was really fortunate.

“Then why are you missing? Besides, I heard that Soo-yeon came here to send her to the academy? If this is the case, why did you and Suyeon fight so much?”

“Sir Pearl…”

Mancheol had nothing to say, but only made his own disapproving expression.

Seo-joon shrugged his shoulders and said while looking at Maseong on Man-cheol’s back.

“Rather than that, how about Maseong-nim?”

“not good. It’s already bad, but you’ve done a lot to protect me in the meantime.”

“Lay down for a moment.”

At Seo-jun’s words, Man-cheol laid the demon on his back on the floor.

And, as Mancheol said, the condition of the demonic castle was so serious that it was miserable.

Seo-joon took out items related to recovery from Kibisis.

These were things that Seo-joon always had with him as emergency medicine in case of an unexpected situation.

It was an emergency treatment, so it couldn’t be fully restored, but it was still quite helpful.

“Ugh…” As

soon as the medicine was poured, the Demonic Spirit began to come to its senses.

After a little while, Maseong opened his eyes.

“Are you awake?”

“You…”

Maseong was momentarily confused at the unfamiliar young man’s appearance as soon as he opened his eyes.

However, even for a while, Mancheol answered that question.

“Other than the guy I was talking about last time.”

“If it’s him… Cool! You mean the students who go to that Hunter Academy?”

With Mancheol nodding his head, Maseong looked at Seojun once again.

A green young man who looked less than 30 degrees.

It was only then that Maseong realized that this young man was the one who said he would definitely come to save him.

“Really… you’re here to save us…? How the hell do you know? Or rather, what happened to those dryads just now?”

“I took care of everything.”

“You mean you took care of those dryads by yourself?”

Seeing Seo-joon calmly nodding his head, Ma-seong was stunned for a moment.

Of course, from the devil’s point of view, 6-star monsters couldn’t even be included in the monster axis.

Even so, Maseong was surprised because Mancheol said that Seojun was a student at Hunter Academy.

In a word, it was said that Seojun was not a professional hunter, but a mediocre student.

There are definitely some outstanding students among the students.

There are even students who have better skills than most pro hunters.

Even so, the reason why students are students was because of the real world.

Pro Hunters could raid higher dungeons and monsters at any time.

However, the dungeons students could go to were limited.

A real battle that is at the risk of their lives.

The growth and dignity that came from such an experience could never be ignored.

Because of this, most of the students were clear about the limits that they could grow at that level.

And, of course, that limit wasn’t enough to beat seven 6-star dryads.

“Oh my God…”

That’s why the demon’s enlarged eyes didn’t think about shrinking.

Seo-joon slowly opened his mouth because it seemed like it would continue to be like that if he left it like this.

“What happened?”

Then, Maseong lowered his head slightly and replied.

“It’s all… my fault. If only I hadn’t brought this person…”

Seo-joon asked, looking at Maseong’s expression full of guilt.

“Why did you bring Uncle Mancheol?”

“To study the monster, we needed someone to transport the corpse. For some reason, I had to move alone in secret. But with this old body, I couldn’t handle it alone.”

Seojun tilted his head.

“Then, instead of using a shipping company…”

“I was afraid that using a company would draw attention. As I said, we had to move in secret. So we needed someone who could be considered a handyman that people would not care about.”

“Ibosho inspiration. You’re outright messing around. Isn’t that too much?”

“Sometimes you said you were a handyman, what are you talking about now?”

“I should have thrown away this bastard’s old man right away.”

Even though he said so, Maseong and Mancheol’s expression had a cool smile.

It seemed that the two of them became quite close while trapped in the dungeon.

“Cool cool!”

Then Maseong vomited a handful of blood, probably because he talked a lot.

Seo-joon looked at that demonic spirit and asked.

“Did you move in secret to avoid being discovered by the Jinrihoe?”

“…!!!”

At that moment, the devil’s eyes began to widen once more.

“Uh, how could that be…”

It seemed that Maseong noticed the suspiciousness of Jinrihoe and was investigating it.

“That’s something I didn’t even tell the president of the association…”

It was then.

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung.

Suddenly, there was a vibration that seemed to shake the earth’s axis.

It was like a light earthquake.

“What is it?”

“It is him.”

When Seo-joon asked, Man-cheol sighed with a hard expression on his face.

Then, as Seo-jun tilted his head, Man-cheol opened his mouth again.

“The monster that made Maseong-nim like this.”

Seo-joon turned his gaze back to look at the demonic castle.

And as if Mancheol’s words were true, Maseong’s expression darkened infinitely.

Come to think of it, the devil was trapped in this dungeon.

No matter how old and sick the devil is, the devil is the devil.

It was an existence that could not be helped with only 6-star monsters.

Even so, the devil couldn’t get out of this dungeon, and this meant.

It meant that there was something in this dungeon that even the Demonic Spirit could not do anything about.

Seojun slowly opened his mouth.

“Are you a Distortion monster?”

When the word “distortion” came out of Seo-jun’s mouth, Demon’s eyes widened once more and he slowly opened his mouth.

“I don’t know… I don’t know.”

And this time, Seo-jun’s eyes began to widen at such a demonic answer.

It is also true that Maseong was one of the five heroes who personally experienced a cataclysm.

It didn’t make sense that such a Demonic Spirit didn’t know about the Distortion.

And as if penetrating Seo-jun’s thoughts, Maseong continued.

“I don’t know how you know the concept of Distortion, but monsters of Distortion are correct. But… the kind I’ve never seen before.”

“You mean… you mean the Distortion, which didn’t even exist during Cataclysm?”

The demon nodded slightly and spoke again.

“Thank you for coming to rescue me… but you shouldn’t have come here.”

“……”

Seo-joon was at a loss for words for a moment.

Seo-joon couldn’t even imagine what kind of monster it was and what demonic nature was talking about like that.

But Seo-joon didn’t have to imagine.

Ku-gu-gu-gu-gu-gung.

Earth-shaking earthquake echoes once again.

And this time it felt a little different than before.

Seojun slowly turned his head away from the sense of incongruity.

Then out of sight.

Koo Goo Goo Goo.

The great mountain… was moving.

To be precise, it was a huge tree, but its size was like a mountain.

Kwaaang!

The ground shattered with each step and fragments flew out.

Even though there is a considerable distance, the pressure felt vividly through this skin.

“Is that… a Distortion monster?”

To be honest, I doubted whether it was a monster.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen it. I think it’s some kind of mutation… I don’t know the details.”

Seo-joon was able to understand a little bit of the devilish definition of mutation.

It was because they didn’t look much different from the dryads I had just seen, only the size was different.

“Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like they recognized us. Avoid his gaze as much as possible and get out of the dungeon.”

However, Mancheol shook his head and said.

“I have already tried, but it is impossible. Somehow, when we tried to leave the dungeon, they knew and followed us like ghosts. And Maseong-nim became like this.”

Then Maseong lowered his head as if listening to Mancheol’s words.

“It wasn’t just a mutation. The outer shell was so hard that even most magic could not pierce it, and even if it was pierced, the regenerative power was so fast that it quickly recovered.”

“That word…”

“I couldn’t handle it with my magic. It almost makes me think that it is an evolutionary monster that has eliminated the dryad’s weaknesses and highlighted its strengths.”

“Demon Lord’s magic doesn’t work? Is that what you mean?”

Maseong shook his head at the words of Seojun, who was startled, and replied.

“I… I am not the same. I am old and sick and waiting for the day I will die. In fact, it’s embarrassing to even be called a devil.”

Seo-joon let out a slight exclamation and nodded his head.

Then he let out a sigh of relief.

That would be the case, too, because if it was a monster that couldn’t handle even the devil’s heyday, it meant that it was an almost untouchable monster.

“Then is there no way at all?”

“There is nothing… no.”

Mars said.

“I can weaken its integument and suppress its regenerative powers. But the thing is… I can’t do anything while weakening him. What would I do if I was 5 years younger…”

Maseong sighed and continued.

“Even a weakened one needs a powerful blow to penetrate its outer shell and destroy its core. But since I can’t do anything… currently there is no way.”

It was a monster that the current demonic nature could not handle.

A good monster to disguise as a mysterious dungeon accident that is neither too much nor too little.

If this was Jinrihoe’s plan, it was an extremely elaborate plan.

Of course, how can that be?

The Demonic Spirit seems to know something, but it seemed like we should talk about this after leaving the dungeon.

In any case, Maseong secretly undertook an investigation, but made the mistake of overlooking the Jinrihoe’s attention.

So, Jinrihoe fell into the trap of near-perfect Jinrihoe, but Jinrihoe also overlooked one thing.

invisible variable.

“So you’re saying it’s just a powerful one shot?”

Seojun held the spears of Gungnir and Longinus at the same time.
