62. Herb grow room 1
“What is a jungle?”
The inside of the herb grow room was full of grotesquely twisted plants. At first glance, it seemed as if they had entered a jungle or jungle rather than inside a building.
“Is this really an herb growing room? Didn’t you enter the dungeon?”
“This is the herb growing room, right…but.”
Shuire looked around with a worried face.
Everywhere you looked, it was covered with weeds and vines that had grown densely.
“The magic power level is higher than necessary.”
“Then these are the herbs grown in the herb room.”
Originally, in the Magic Tower, magic is administered to grow herbs at a rapid rate.
These grotesque plants were herbs that overgrown because of too much magical power.
“Is this an herb? Does it look like weed?”
“It’s weed.”
Kang Seung-hyeon approached the herb and examined it.
The medicinal herbs had almost lost their potency due to excessive magic power.
“These junk herbs cannot be used as potion ingredients. It is no different from weeds.”
“I gave it too much fertilizer and it tasted bad.”
“If the magic circle works normally, this won’t happen…”
Shuire looked around the inside of the herb growing room with a worried face.
“I’m sure the auxiliary magic circle is here… I found it!”
When the densely growing weeds were pulled out, a buried magic circle appeared.
“Uh uh…”
“The magic circle is broken.”
Even to Kang Seung-hyeon, who doesn’t know much about magic, the condition of the magic circle was not good.
It was badly twisted and broken.
“This is a magic circle for humidity control!”
Shuire, who was examining the damaged magic circle carefully, shouted.
“Because of this, you feel soggy as if you came to the jungle!”
There was a reason the inside of the herb growing room turned into a jungle.
It’s because the device that controls the humidity is broken.
“Not only the humidity magic circle, but also other magic circles…”
Humidity control followed by weather control and temperature control… All auxiliary magic circles in the herb growing room were horribly destroyed.
“Who broke it on purpose?”
“That’s not it… I think there’s a problem with the main magic circle.”
“Where is the main magic circle?”
Shuire pointed towards the inside of the jungle.
Densely overgrown plant stems were blocking the way inside.
“I have never seen it myself, but I heard that it is inside because of the structure.”
“I have to go through that to do that.”
“First of all, contact the professor…”
It was the moment when Shuire urgently prepared for communication magic.
“You’ll have to do that later.”
Basssss.
A strange sound came from inside.
“What did you just say…”
The moment Kim Ho-jung said this far, Kang Seung-hyun pulled Kim Ho-jung by the shoulder.
[Summons Pria’s crossbow.]
Pababak!
At the same time, when I pulled the trigger in the direction of the sound, the bushes shook violently and something appeared.
Bassssss!
What appeared from the bush was a bizarre plant vine.
“Uh… what is that again?”
“What is it? A monster.”
Of course, the vines that move like that can’t be ordinary plants.
Kim Ho-jeong muttered in disgust.
“Do monsters appear in places like this?”
“There are many reasons why monsters appear. Among them, the most representative is…”
“A creature that receives too much magical power turns into a monster.”
Shuire picked up the staff and said.
“The herb growing room is overflowing with magic enough to turn it into a jungle… There can be no monsters.”
slither. Seruk.
Chew!
A grotesque plant vine whipped its stem like a whip. Kang Seung-hyun stepped back and pulled the trigger while avoiding it.
[Fria’s bond pouch]
[Generates wooden arrows.]
Pak!
A flying arrow cut off a plant stem.
Severed plant stems wriggled on the floor.
“What should I call that? A creeping vine? An animal pretending to be a plant?”
“That’s Martin Ivy.”
Martin Ivy.
Originally, it was a plant that used leaves and vines as ingredients, but now it has changed into a plant-type monster because of magic.
“Let’s call you by your real name.”
“Fuck! Martin Ivy!”
Chew!
Martin Ivy swung the vine once more.
“Where!”
“Wind Cutter!”
Kim Ho-jeong swung her sword and Shuire slashed the wind cutter to cut the vine.
“What’s easier than I thought?”
“Beolcho da beecho!”
“for a moment.”
But each time the two cut the vine, a new stem grew from the cut vine.
Chow!!
“Keep!”
A newly grown stem struck Kim Ho-jung’s arm. Kim Ho-jeong frowned and grabbed her arm.
[Fria’s bond pouch]
[Generates a large health potion arrow.]
Blow!
Kang Seung-hyun restored Kim Ho-jung’s physical strength.
“thank you! Live!”
“I’ll do it after the wound treatment is finished.”
“But… if you do this, you can do it, but there is no end to it, right?”
Kim Ho-jung clicked his tongue and muttered.
This is because even if the vine is cut or cut, it grows anew.
“It’s going to need weed killer.”
“I can’t just cut it.”
Even the newly grown vines looked more vigorous than before they were cut.
Shuire threw the staff to the floor and said.
“Weeds anyway! You can burn it with fire!”
Hwareuk!
Red balls of fire formed in her hands.
“Firebird!”
The powerful fire from Shuire hit Martin Ivy.
Roaring!!!
“good! It’s stuck!”
The fire spread quickly, but it regenerated faster than Martin Ivy burned.
“This is ridiculous…”
A plant that cannot be killed by burning.
Everywhere I looked, it wasn’t normal.
Roaring!
Chow!
The fiery vines of Martin Ivy flew towards Shuire.
“Hey hey! At least turn off the lights!”
“Sea Fog!”
Shuire blew water mist and extinguished Martin Ivy’s fire. However, the flying vines could not be stopped.
Shuire hurriedly activated her magic shield.
Empty!
“Aww!”
Hit by a vine, Shuire fell backwards.
Thanks to the magic shield worn on the body, there were no major injuries, but it could not prevent the mental power from falling due to shock.
“Heh heh…”
“Shuire-san, are you okay?”
[Voice of calm]
Kang Seung-hyeon raised Shuire, who was bewildered.
Shuire’s complexion improved when he restored his lost mental strength with the skill effect.
“Thank you.”
“That guy is more annoying than I thought.”
“I don’t think we can do it on our own. Run away and tell the professor…”
Shuire sighed and muttered.
“Mr. Kim Ho-jeong. Please lend me that knife.”
“okay.”
After thinking for a while, Seunghyun Kang borrowed a knife from Hojeong Kim.
“I watched you two fight…”
Then he cut a vine with a borrowed knife.
The vines that were cut off always grew new.
“When Kim Ho-jeong and I cut each other, we play it slowly.”
Kang Seung-hyun ordered Shuire to cut the vine this time.
Shuire nodded and stretched out her hand.
“Wind cutter.”
A sharp wind cut down the vines of Martin Ivy.
Then, it regenerated and grew at a much faster rate than when it was cut with a dagger.
“When Shuire-san cuts it, it regenerates faster.”
“ah…!”
“What is it… what is the difference?”
Kim Ho-jeong didn’t seem to understand, but Shuire could notice it right away.
“Vine regeneration speed increases when attacked with magical powers!”
“you’re right. The plants here are herbs that have grown rapidly due to excessive magical power.”
Martin Ivy is a monster born in the process.
Now he had the ability to grow his body by absorbing mana.
“The ability to grow by absorbing mana?”
“That’s why there was no end to cutting and cutting. Because right now, the herb growing room is full of magic power.”
In other words, you can’t kill him unless you deal with the magic around him.
As long as you have magical power, you can grow as much as you like.
“Then you can’t defeat him, can you?”
“For now… I’d better step back. There is too much magical power in the herb room.”
Shuire said with a confused face.
You have to call in other people to deal with monsters like that.
However, Kang Seung-hyun did not think so.
“no. You can easily defeat them by removing their magical powers.”
If it grows by absorbing the surrounding mana, it is enough to get rid of the mana to be absorbed.
After looking at it, Martin Ivy was a monster with no special abilities other than regeneration.
“But somehow…”
“Because I got a good one earlier.”
Seunghyun Kang said with a smile.
A substance that can melt mana and turn it into dregs. The substance is now in Kang Seung-hyeon’s inventory.
“An arrow that can melt mana.”
“ah! Incense smoke!”
Kim Ho-jeong snapped her fingers and shouted.
“that’s right. To be precise, a mass of scented vinegar gel.”
Incense vinegar has the effect of dissolving mana.
If you make arrows with this, you can melt Martin Ivy’s magical power and all the surrounding magical power.
‘There’s no danger that the gel will spread far.’
As the scented candle smoke turned into a gel form, its power decreased, but it became more convenient to use.
‘Smoke can also be made into arrows, but if that’s the case, it’ll be troublesome to clean up afterward…’
If it’s an arrow made of scented vinegar gel, there won’t be any problem with the Mage Tower.
[Freeah’s bond pouch]
[Generates scented vinegar gel arrows.]
Kang Seung-hyun used a skill to create arrows.
Fria’s crossbow was loaded with opaque milky arrows.
“What! If you had such a skill, you should have used it long ago!”
Shuire shouted in joy.
“Performance is good, but this is a bit tricky to use.”
“Are you picky?”
“If you use it well… it’s possible to team kill.”
Seunghyun Kang laughed and said. Kang Seung-hyeon used arrows, but the scented candle effect did not discriminate against the target.
Kim Ho-jeong nodded and said.
“Is that so? If you try to use a skill, it will melt…” ”
In addition, the magical energy inside the body will melt away, so you have to take the medicine after it is over.”
So I couldn’t use it carelessly.
Kang Seung-hyun has no magic, so it doesn’t affect anything, but the other two don’t.
“Writing is tricky… Do I have to take medicine every time I use it?”
“I have leftovers from the scented vinegar softener I made earlier. So don’t worry about that…”
Kang Seung-hyeon pointed the crossbow at him and said.
“It’s possible.”
He pulled the trigger and the milky arrow went forward.
Pak!
Martin Ivy, struck by an arrow, twitched his vines and expelled a viscous fluid.
The magic power inside the body melted away.
“It works! Then hurry up…”
Shuire tried to use magic, but the mana that gathered at her fingertips melted away without being able to create magic.
“uh? uh? Coke!”
At the same time, along with a cough, he began to vomit his mana.
“What is it… The magic doesn’t come out…”
“While the scented candle effect lasts, all the magic around it melts away.”
The same goes for the magic power in the air, as well as the magic power contained in one’s body. Beings within the scented candle’s effect range will not be able to handle magical powers.
“Enemy as well as allies can’t use the skill.”
Same goes for Martin Ivy and Shuire.
That’s why I didn’t use it carelessly.
“Then how do I deal with that bastard…? If I can’t use the skill…”
“It’s simple.”
Seunghyun Kang took out a dagger from his inventory.
“You can beat it until you die with a flat blow.”
