I Obtained a Mythic Item - Chapter 54
Episode 54 Mock Dungeon Practice (4)
“Still, it’s fortunate that I know at least one person. right?”
“……Yes.”
After entering the dungeon, Seo Eana only answered questions and did not say anything else.
Jaehyun let out a small sigh as he watched her follow him.
‘It’s also very shy. I think I’m okay with Kim Yoo-jung because we’ve gotten quite close…
but I’ve lived my whole life building a wall, and it can’t change overnight.’
Before her return, even her closest aides once said that it was only a handful of times to see Seo Eana speak more than three words a day.
Maybe it was because he was so reticent and had a bad family history as a child, so he couldn’t get close to others.
Hey hey…….
Inside the dungeon covered in darkness. Occasionally, the sound of metal clashing and a thick stench ran up the spine.
It seemed that there were still more monsters left after killing several groups of kobolds.
However, Jaehyun was not particularly interested in such small puppies.
‘Kobold Lord… that guy is the problem. I have to concentrate.’
Jaehyun took a deep breath and looked around.
In the dark interior, the sphere-shaped light he created is used as the only light source.
Meanwhile, right next to Jaehyun, Kim Jinah is standing holding a shield that is 2/3 her height.
The shield made of well-smelted steel is said to be one of the handicrafts made by Park Cheol-gon, a famous field commander.
Equipment costing at least hundreds of millions of won trembles in a small way, showing off its luster.
Jaehyun suddenly felt that there were many young ladies from rich families on this floor.
Well, if not, would there be any parents who would send their precious sons and daughters to the dungeon?
Incidentally, in this mock dungeon practice, the use of priest equipment is permitted.
Pre-preparation is also very important for dungeon raids, and radar equipment is directly related to survival.
Jaehyun was also wearing the 《Shadow Armor》 and 《Valkyrie Apprentice Set》.
‘It may be difficult to do «Stealth», but at least we can expect the effect of «Mana Steal».
《Stealth》 is a skill that erases the user’s presence, but its proficiency is still low.
Furthermore, kobolds are monsters that mainly appear in mine-type dungeons. Since they are mainly active in the dark, their sense of smell and hearing are very sensitive rather than sight.
In fact, it was true that the effect of «Stealth» was difficult to expect in this dungeon.
Kim Jin-ah, who was walking side by side, looked at Jae-hyun’s face for a while, and then lucked out with a bright face.
“Anyway, I knew that Jaehyun was strong, but he was really amazing. How many monsters did you catch alone?”
“What just. It just happened that way.”
Jaehyun answered calmly and inspected the floor and walls of the dungeon.
It was to prepare for the boss monster that I would encounter a little later and the variables that might exist.
While digging through the darkness in the dungeon, Jaehyun moved carefully, following the light illuminated by the < Flash > magic, pointing to the wall.
Jaehyun took a deep breath and measured the wave of magic he could feel inside the dungeon.
It’s still insignificant, but there’s a strong magic power swaying at the end.
‘This must be the magic of the Kobold Lord.’
Jaehyun swallowed his saliva.
Of course, compared to Night Shade, it was only a far cry, but to the other cadets, it would come as a big shock to Jaehyun when he first encountered Nightshade.
‘Right now, the enemy is weak, so he listens carefully to my operational instructions. It’s a big deal when you start to panic. …… If you encounter a kobold rod, you will take it down quickly without giving it a chance.’
that was the best
Whatever happens inside cannot be seen from the outside.
This is because no matter how mocked the dungeon is, the environment in the dungeon is not suitable for attaching a camera.
In other words, it means that you can freely reveal your skills here as long as you keep your teammates’ mouths shut.
‘If that’s the case, I’ll just use the 《Brainwashing》 I copied from Gu Jain so he can’t speak.’
Jaehyun saw Seo Ina getting closer and closer to him.
Standing about two steps away, she follows him restlessly. The appearance of chatting with Kim Yoo-jung not long ago was nowhere to be found.
Jaehyun stepped in with Seo Ina and spoke in a low voice.
“Are other people still a little uncomfortable?”
“……huh.”
Seo Ina just nodded stiffly and said that.
Jaehyun didn’t talk to her anymore so that she could more comfortably tackle the dungeon.
Except for Jaehyun, Seo Eana is the most outstanding.
Even in the freshman hunt, the two had already had experience matching the sum.
If she gets nervous and doesn’t show her skills, the team will suffer a lot of damage.
It took about 30 minutes to walk briskly forward.
Jaehyun and Park Seongwoo, who were walking in the lead, stopped almost at the same time.
They came out of a wide cavity with antique frescoes.
Jaehyun’s brow furrowed as he looked around.
‘……It’s different from what I remembered. There’s nothing to worry about. It’s a rescue.’
It was a different shape from the simulated dungeon experience dungeon that Jaehyun experienced before returning.
This is probably a device that Gu Ja-in prepared to make Jae-hyun an obedient horse.
at that time.
From the inside of the dungeon, thick magic that contained musk began to emanate.
‘You’re here.’
After taking a deep breath, Jaehyun quietly whispered to his teammates.
“……Something will come soon. It’s a different level from before, so be careful. Operation goes to C.”
“……huh!”
When Seo In-na responded without spitting out first, Park Seong-woo and Kim Jin-ah also nodded.
However, Park Seong-woo’s face was a little dark. This is because the instructions of reappearance were not understood.
‘A stronger enemy is coming…?’
Operation C.
In other words, while preparing for counterattack tactics after defense, he kept tilting his head.
Just now. Didn’t instructor Kim Ji-yeon say that only weak monsters appear here?
‘What the hell… what does that mean?’
Unfortunately or fortunately, the thought did not last long.
Kreur . . .
a harsh cry that can be heard.
At the end stood a beast with sharp fangs and a thick bloody skin that could tear them apart at any time.
Kobold Road.
A boss monster was waiting for them at the end of the dungeon.
“That one! Kobold Lord!?”
“No nonsense! Why are kobold rods jumping out of a place like this?!”
I heard the voices of Park Seong-woo and Kim Jin-ah, who were embarrassed.
However, Jaehyun did not change his expression and quickly shouted after taking a combat stance.
“Everyone calm down! If you make a mistake here, it’s all over! Remember what I said at the beginning!”
“ah! okay!”
“huh!”
cooong!
At that moment, a group of kobolds swarmed the ceiling and floor. And they popped out one after another in the dark.
As expected of a boss monster, it has the ability to command subordinate species.
Seongwu Park quickly activated Provocation and lured the enemy towards himself.
Seo In-na casts Magic Armor, a defense-enhancing spell, on him.
Jae-hyun took advantage of the gap while they were dealing with a group of kobolds and quickly ran forward.
He has only one goal.
It was to quickly kill the Kobold Lord and secure the safety of the party.
“Haap!”
With a spirit, Jaehyun’s model quickly fired at the kobold rod.
But then.
Jaehyun’s legs trembled as he ran without slowing down.
‘what? What about this ominous aura?’
The waves of gloomy and dense magical power felt everywhere tightened my throat.
It was almost as terrifying as when I first encountered Night Shade.
‘Is it because of the kobold road? ……no. It can’t be. There must be something else.’
Jaehyun’s lips were tightly closed.
However, Jaehyun did not back down and jumped up and straightened his fist.
Quaang!
His attack towards the Kobold Lord was a direct hit.
The vivid sensation of the fist piercing the beast’s body thrilled his whole body.
‘The attack definitely worked!’
however.
After a while. As the roar subsided and the dust cleared at the same time, Jaehyun’s face, which was full of victorious spirit, was colored with earth.
“what!”
Jaehyun narrowed his eyes and looked at the unbelievable scenery unfolding before his eyes.
Krrrrr!
‘……It was certainly powerful enough to knock down a kobold road in one shot.’
It was a fist containing enough magical power to knock down a kobold lord in one shot.
However, the demon’s body quickly recovered and began to take its original form.
How could this be possible?
“……I didn’t think there would be any variables. Rodani, a kobold with the ability to regenerate. Isn’t this a bit harsh?”
Jaehyun caught his breath again.
I can clearly feel my heart beating dizzy and my pulse speeding up.
The present has changed the future he knew.
The monster in front of him was already a completely different creature from what Jaehyun knew.
The moment Jaehyun moved to figure out the guy’s identity.
System sound is a step ahead.
―Identifies the entity behind the kobold lords.
―The existence behind it was determined to be Odin’s Raven.
―The special quest 《Crow Hunter》 has been accepted.

End point outside the dungeon.
Instructor Kim Ji-yeon was reading the cadet battle report and analyzing their strengths and weaknesses.
The owner of the profile floating on her pad right now is none other than Min Jae-hyun.
“What a strange cadet you are.”
She flipped through the pad screen in her hand and could hardly take her eyes off it.
‘Why is Cadet Min Jae-hyeon able to show such a performance even though he is a magician?’
He himself is a magician who has risen to an A-rank, a fairly high position in the magic world.
But I’ve never seen the magic world fight like that anywhere in the world.
Before she knew it, Min Jae-hyun’s freshman hunting highlights were playing on her pad.
A martial arts movement that kills enemies one by one with quick movements.
And even magic bursts with little delay.
Jaehyun was an overwhelming talent with no corner to fall for.
“As expected, there is a high possibility that Team 3 will pass this simulated dungeon raid with first place…”
The conclusions were already in my head.
she knew
At least, among the new students at Milles Academy, there was no one who could beat Jaehyun.
That’s when I was organizing my thoughts.
Kim Ji-yeon listened to the sudden popularity.
Soon, embarrassment erupted from her mouth.
“……uh?!”
Kim Ji-yeon let out a small sigh and focused more on her hearing.
It was completely incomprehensible.
‘The voice is coming from group 4, not group 3. Why?’
It’s a nonsensical thing to say.
Hadn’t Jaehyun already gone far beyond the level of a cadet?
But the 4th group, not the 3rd group he belongs to, breaks through the dungeon first?
Even Jae-hyun’s team includes Seo In-na, who worked with him in the freshman hunt.
‘Of course, there are Ahn Ho-yeon and Kim Yoo-jung in Group 4, but they are nothing compared to Min Jae-hyun. How the hell did this happen…….’
“Ki Instructor Kim Ji-yeon! It’s a big deal!”
At that moment, along with the sound of rough breathing, the urgent cries of the team members in Group 4 were heard.
Ahn Ho-yeon’s rough voice that is rarely heard.
He was covered in blood with the arm of one of his teammates, Kim Se-ho, wrapped around his shoulder.
what? What happened?
My mind was filled with things I couldn’t understand.
But she was unfazed and asked in the calmest voice possible.
“Cadet Ahn Ho-yeon. Is there a problem?”
“The boss monster Kobold Lord appeared in the dungeon.”
absurd words.
However, the faces of Ahn Ho-yeon and the other team members were serious.
‘There must be something wrong in the dungeon. If so, what is the reason for the delay in the capture of Team 3, to which Cadet Min Jae-hyun belongs…!’
If there was something variable in the dungeon, that was most likely the cause.
In the first place, Jaehyun has the ability to break through this simulated dungeon by himself.
But what if something changed in the dungeon he entered?
So what if he is struggling without being able to clear the dungeon?
“Instructor! First of all, please take a look at Seho! He’s in a strange state. I gave him first aid, but he’s still unconscious…!”
“Do not worry. I’ll ask the Healer team for support right away. It’s not a big wound, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“I’m glad…….”
Kim Yoo-jung also let out a long sigh and relaxed her tense body.
A number of healers are on standby in this area in case of any crisis.
Kim Se-ho wasn’t seriously hurt, he was just poisoned.
He was probably suffering from a respiratory disease caused by mana poisoning.
Kim Yoo-jung, who was catching her breath, looked around and suddenly asked.
Anxiety was tinged on her face.
“Uh… By the way, Instructor. Is Team 3 still available?”
“Not yet.”
The faces of Kim Yoo-jung and Ahn Ho-yeon were shadowed at the same time.
That Jaehyun Min still hasn’t cleared the mock dungeon?
No matter how much he was a Kobold Lord, he was no match for Jaehyun.
In addition, Seo Eana will be with Team 3.
An ominous sensation quickly ran through the nape of the three men’s necks.
Instructor Kim Ji-yeon also picked up her smartphone as if she had grasped the seriousness of the situation.
After a while. A familiar voice began to be heard over the phone.
“yes. Gu Ja-in, chairman of the board. This is Instructor Jiyeon Kim. An emergency situation arises in the current simulated dungeon practice. Emergency assistance as soon as possible…….” “
Haha, don’t worry. Instructor Kim Ji-yeon. We will send a support team right away.”
Kim Ji-yeon’s face hardened at the words she heard.
‘what?’
Gu Jain’s voice was full of composure.
I got goosebumps for a moment.
This is an emergency, not a joke.
What if the dungeon where the boss monster came out wasn’t just group 4?
A team composed of people with relatively poor skills may end up being wiped out.
In such a situation, you can give instructions with such a relaxed tone?
There.
The thing that makes me feel like Jain Koo is laughing over the smartphone.
Is it just a mood?
