I Obtained a Mythic Item - Chapter 56
Episode 56 Crow Hunter
“As the president said, we have placed the support team and healers in the simulated dungeon. The case seems to be on the verge of being settled, and other instructors have been given separate work orders.”
“Good job. Instructor Seokgi Kim. How is the situation going back?”
Gu Jain asked as he rolled up his white shirt with a calm face.
Kim Seok-gi bowed his head and replied.
“No one seems to have noticed yet.”
“That’s good.”
Gu Ja-in smiled with satisfaction as he listened to Instructor Kim Seok-ki’s report.
‘If you keep going like this, Min Jae-hyun. I can put him under my feet too.’
This was one of the biggest purposes of the mock dungeon event.
Putting Min Jae-hyun at his feet.
Gu Ja-in was confident that he would do anything if he could embrace Jae-hyeon here.
‘Something that can be a boulder must be quickly put in the palm of your hand and rolled.’
In Gu Jain’s opinion, Jaehyun had something special that other cadets didn’t.
There are many cadets who are already gifted with talent, such as Ahn Ho-yeon, Cha Yu-won, Seo or Kim Yu-jeong.
But there’s something they don’t have.
It is the self-objectification that can constantly look back on oneself with a sense of improvement.
‘Perhaps that desire for improvement and self-objectification lead Min Jae-hyun to a higher place.’
“What happened to Team 3, which included cadet Min Jae-hyun?”
“They say they haven’t come out of the dungeon yet. The two cadets inside had already come out… Min Jae-hyeon and Seo Ea-na. Two of them appear to be still inside.”
“……Is that so?”
Gu Jain muttered a little disappointed.
‘This is disappointing…….’
The Jaehyun he knows is a wise person.
And a wise man never fights an opponent he cannot defeat.
why? Because you can’t win anyway.
There are always overflowing Radars who die because they fail to realize this simple truth.
Their colleagues, friends, family, etc…. Those who have made things to protect are always vulnerable because they are swayed by personal feelings.
Gu Ja-in thought that Jae-hyun would not be such a foolish cadet.
however.
You sent the two of them out first and are still raiding the dungeon?
‘Anyway, the dungeon with 3 sets is at a level that even Min Jae-hyun can’t attack.’
Gu Jain manipulated everything, including team member voting and dungeon assignments, in advance.
And in the dungeon where the 3rd group will go, a very strong guy, different from the general Kobold Lord, was placed.
He didn’t want Jaehyun to clear this dungeon.
The Kobold Lord that came out of the dungeon with 3 groups is a monster that approaches a B-class boss.
No matter how outstanding he is among the cadets, he will be difficult to deal with with Jaehyun’s body.
only he knew
Those who have a strong sense of self-esteem and a strong desire to improve tend to sink into their helplessness and constantly seek strength, often covering their eyes.
So, I implicitly manipulated it so that the dungeon attack failed.
To make him an obedient and faithful dog.
He had a hard face, but before he knew it, he regained his pretentious smile.
‘If you find yourself in a situation where you can’t come out of a dungeon anyway, you have to throw away everything, whether it’s your comrades, or run out. No matter how talented a cadet is, that’s the same thing.’
In fact, Gu Jain has experimented countless times in similar situations.
The result was always the same.
He brushed his chin lightly with his thumb and forefinger, feeling the texture of his beard.
“I’m disappointed… but let’s wait a little longer. After all, both of them had to run out of the dungeon crying and blowing. Please continue to report the situation. Instructor Kim Seok-gi.”
“yes. All right.”
Instructor Kim Seok-ki finished with those words and left the office of the chairman.
Gu Ja-in, who was left alone, leaned back on his chair with both hands on his chin.
“He’s a tricky guy, too. But it has a more tame taste.”
Gu Ja-in intended to tame Min Jae-hyeon and bring him into his possession.
It will keep it in your hand and roll it so that it cannot grow without your help.
That way he will never be able to betray himself.
“A raised dog should never bite its owner. It was good that you borrowed the power of ‘him’ and strengthened the kobold rod in advance.”
He nodded his head with a satisfied smile.
It seemed like I would be able to sleep comfortably tonight for the first time in a while.

―Equip the equipment item 《Misteltain》.
―Due to lack of conditions, only some effects of equipment are unlocked.
at the same time as the system sound.
A small bracelet woven from twigs began to wrap around her left wrist.
‘……It wasn’t a sword, spear, or bow. I couldn’t believe the weapon was a bracelet.’
Jaehyun remembered what happened at Radar Department Store in the past.
When he first obtained < < Misteltain > >, he read the description of the skill and was shocked.
《Magic Sense》.
A skill that makes it possible to see the movement of energy expressed from all beings that use magic.
In other words, how the enemy uses and emits mana.
Furthermore, it meant that he could clearly see what kind of magic he was trying to use.
If you just read the description, you might think it’s no big deal.
But the reality is completely different.
Knowing what kind of magic the enemy is trying to use and how to use it. It means that you will be able to create a combat manual according to the various variables they suggest.
This skill even exerts an overwhelming synergy with Jaehyun’s 《Absolute Calculation》.
《Absolute Calculation》 is a skill that reverses the enemy’s attack and destroys it.
In the process, the newly acquired < Magic Perception > is about to activate < Absolute Calculation >. It allowed me to roughly know what skill the opponent was using and was able to maximize skill efficiency.
Whoo!
Jaehyun tilted his head to dodge the club that was swinging at him, then distanced himself from the beast.
As if being thrown backwards, the body that was shot away from the kobold rod.
The distance to the enemy is about 5 meters.
And then.
―The user’s field of vision expands with the effect of the < < Mistiltane > >.
―You can perceive the enemy’s movements more clearly.
When he succeeded in installing < < Misteltain > >, Jaehyun’s whole nerves pulsated.
The field of view turned blue for a moment, and then the magic movements of the enemies and monsters began to appear transparently.
At the same time, Jaehyun found a thread connecting the Kobold Lord and something else.
‘Is this… thread?’
Jaehyun strengthened his vision by infusing magic into his eyes.
Then, this time, I could clearly see the thin thread stretching a little more clearly.
It was a very thinly connected thread with a bluish tinge.
Jaehyun’s eyebrows went up.
“okay. It was like that. That thread was supplying magic power to the kobold lord.”
Like a monk who reached Nirvana, Jae-Hyun pioneered a new realm again.
Using Mistiltein and his own expanded field of vision, he was able to see the enemy’s magical thread and, furthermore, accurately detect the section where the thread was connected.
The section where the thread is connected is just behind the neck.
Jaehyun immediately started running towards the Witchbeast.
now it looks clear
The last move to end this damn fight.
“Inaya! Please cover! to avoid enemy attacks. can you?”
“…but I can’t open the force field because I don’t have enough mana…….”
As Seo Eana said, her magic power was reaching its limit.
It is not strange even if it is exhausted and collapsed at any time, in a desperate crisis situation.
Jaehyun quickly shouted at her, who was worried.
“Use the potion I gave you then! I’ll buy you some time!”
“……I’ll try something!”
Jae-hyun asked Jae-sang Lee to make some of the best recovery potions.
And he gave some of them back to Kim Yoo-jung and Seo E-na.
In order to quickly respond to the variable situation like right now.
Seo In-na stopped the magic without hesitation, then took out the potion and drank it.
Mana quickly fills up, and the sensation spreads throughout the body as if it were floating clearly.
She waited until her mana fully recovered, then raised all her strength.
Gyyyyyyyy…!!
In an instant, she discharged her magical power to her limit and opened a defense force field to block all attacks from the kobold lord coming towards Jaehyun.
The blue shield he shoots protects Jaehyun and makes him move forward.
Caang! Caang! Caang! Caang!
A fierce rupture sound that seemed to tear apart the ears pressed Jaehyun as if swallowing it.
But he laughed and gritted his teeth.
Jaehyun trusted Seo Ina and did not use any defense skills.
‘There is no other way in the current situation.’
In a situation where you need a blow with enough power to kill the enemy in one shot, you can’t afford to waste your mana elsewhere.
There.
‘There is no death as miserable as dying because of not trusting one’s colleagues.’
This is what Myeong-ho Lee once said to himself when he was active as a martial arts raider.
You must believe now.
Now, you have to believe in Seo Eana and do everything you can.
“Goes!”
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!!
The kobold lord roared and swung his club down.
However, Jaehyun activated 《Wind Boost》, avoiding the big attack and moving toward the thread while receiving the protection of Seo Eana for the small attack.
Supplying magical power to the Kobold Lord. Towards the final piece that can end this battle.
And finally.
Reaching the thread behind the kobold lord’s neck, Jaehyun immediately unlocked the maximum amount of magic power.
He took out the Mana Blade he had purchased earlier from his inventory.
It was purchased at a store the other day to capture a demon corpse.
‘I never thought it would be used in this way.’
Jaehyun opened up the maximum amount of mana he could and began pouring it slowly into the mana blade.
The pure white sword body was imbued with blue magic power, and it made a delicate sound as if the sword were about to break.
opportunity only once.
―The passive skill «Expert Swordsmanship» supports your swordsmanship.
―The passive skill 《Agile Step》 supports your physical abilities.
―The passive skill 《Flexible Movement》 supports your physical abilities.
At the right timing, the passive skills learned during the martial arts era unleash their power all at once.
With Jaehyun’s smile, an unbelievable amount of mana, which had been compressed in his danteon, poured out.
‘I saved it for a time like this.’
It was the mana that he had accumulated through qigong training every day.
The opening of magical power that was not shown even in the freshman hunt that had been steadily accumulated in the body for over ten days.
Light-bearing mana is immediately absorbed into Jaehyun’s body, raising his level.
at that time.
Whoo!
The attack of the kobold rod, which twisted the trajectory of my muscles abnormally, came flying.
A demonic club that bends in a direction that can never be bent and shoots at Jaehyun.
It was a fast-paced attack that even Seo In-na could not block.
“Oh, no!”
With her fists clenched, Seo In-na was trying to keep up with that speed somehow.
A blue magic field was launched, but at a speed that could never be reached.
However, Jaehyun just closed his eyes for a moment and smiled a little.
Cheer la la rock!
《Chain of Lightning》 poured out in an instant.
Jaehyun stepped on the chain he had laid around beforehand and lightly blew magic into it.
OK.
Cheer la la rock!
Jaehyun’s body, which had been stepping on the chain, broke steeply in the air with a sharp crashing sound.
With a frightened face, Seo Ina watched as he used his magic.
she groaned slightly.
“It’s ridiculous… Jaehyun, did you put chains around you for that?”
It was as she said.
Jae-hyun set the chain in advance and aimed for a single gap.
One chance to evade the enemy’s attack by injecting mana while stepping on the chain.
Because of the risk of being read by the enemy, the narrow gap that is not allowed twice.
Jaehyun has dug that gap.
moment to think.
The demon’s conversion attack missed Jaehyun’s body and hit the wall.
Quaang!
Fierce explosion sound.
Seo Ina let out a small exclamation.
In a situation like that, you use your wits and use the offensive skill 《Chain of Lightning》?
Even with a movement skill?
Beyond the level of transformation, it was impossible unless one was able to handle magical power with considerable delicacy.
‘But Jaehyun did it.’
The moment when she blankly watched Jaehyun’s movements. Jaehyun climbed onto the chain and kept his balance, heading behind the kobold lord’s neck.
“It won’t play easily this time.”
All of Jaehyun’s remaining magic power dwells in the sword. The blade with overwhelming magical power that seems to devour the enemy at any moment cuts both the enemy and the thread diagonally down at the same time.
from top left to bottom right.
It was a perfect movement with no superfluities to be found.
And finally.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!!
The kobold rod and the thread that supplied mana to it were cut with a single knife.
At the same time, the mana blade Jaehyun was holding shattered with a cheerful sound.
―The magical thread connecting the kobold lord and Odin’s raven is severed!
