Episode 24
[Forest of Fog]
Originally, the area near the graveyard of despair was made up of forests. The hunters called the place where there was a lot of poisonous fog the Fog Forest.
‘…Durahan must be wandering here too.’
Dullahan was a difficult boss to face because it continued to roam the forest without a fixed habitat.
In addition, Dyurahan is an undead monster that is the worst opponent for Shin Yuseong, a fighting type.
‘It’s the worst boss when setting records like now.’
However, Shin Yoo-seong had no choice. Clothes worn by the king of Kwon when he was young. In order to receive the Black Dragon Cannon as a reward, he had to attack the Graveyard of Despair.
The good thing is that the boss, Dullahan, is wandering around. Other Death Knights did not appear in the Foggy Forest.
‘…In addition, there are no creatures living in the foggy forest.’
Shin Yuseong and Dyurahan are now in the forest of fog. There were only two.
‘So I can find it.’
Shin Yooseong put his hand on the floor. The skeleton horse that Dyurahan rode was huge, but it was impossible to feel the vibration of a horse’s hooves in a large forest.
However, common sense did not work for Shin Yoo-seong.
In order to find Dyurahan, Shin Yuseong concentrated mana on his fingertips. Normally, I naturally used [Enhance Concentration], an attribute that was left in the habit of training. Not now.
‘Maximize your senses…’
The breath of the forest.
Wind brushing your hands.
And I could feel the echo of the earth.
Dagda- Dadak! Dagdak-
A slight vibration of something gigantic kicking a stone on the floor and walking on soft soil. Shin Yuseong looked somewhere and smiled.
‘found.’

Beautifully crafted ice castle that never melts. Adela walked slowly forward with an insensitive expression on her face.
In the place where Adela passed, beings that were originally monsters were frozen and turned into ice statues.
[Astella Ice Castle]
The most difficult dungeon to manage in Academy City. Of course, the strength of the monsters appearing is similar to other dungeons, but the problem was the structure where the boss stayed.
Koo-Kik!
Let Adela push the ice door with her fingertips. Soon the inside was revealed. Stairs spiraling endlessly toward the ceiling. countless traps.
In the open ceiling, archers made of ice were aiming their bows at Adela in formation.
A dungeon like a fortress.
Adela looked back and forth between the stairs and the archer with a sluggish gaze. Eyes with no emotion. Adela’s gaze looked even colder than that of a witch whose entire body was made of ice.
‘It’s the stairs.’
Adela bent down. She didn’t go the path the dungeon had made. I just concentrated and applied mana to both legs.
Wedge!
As the arrows shot by the ice archer flew toward him. Adela jumped out of her seat and took off.
fault!
Adela reached half the distance to the ceiling in one jump. Adela, who had never trained her body separately, had almost the same physical abilities as ordinary people.
What was shown now was the pure power of Adela’s mana.
Papa pat!
The arrow pierced the ground, and a platform of ice formed beneath Adela’s feet, which floated in the air.
widely.
As expected, Adela landed on the ice platform. There was a distant view below, but Adela didn’t stop, her feet reaching into the air.
percussion. that buck
Every time Adela walked slowly, steps of ice formed beneath her feet. To the ice witch, Adela was an opponent she had never seen before.
“Shoot! Drop it right now!”
white eyebrows. A body made of ice.
Let the ice witch’s sharp voice resonate. The ice archers fired arrows at once.
Wedge liquid!
The pouring ice arrows could not block Adela’s steps.
jump! Damn it!
The intense chill that spewed out around Adela froze even the ice. The agile arrow turned into thick ice like a stone.
And the ice fell far below.
“away!”
The Ice Witch shouted. Adela turned off the translation function of the pocket, probably because the ice witch’s voice was too loud.
“■■■!”
Countless ice pouring down from the ceiling.
Adela did not suffer a single wound from the barrage of attacks.
Poof-
Adela reached the ceiling and waved her hand. Gestures like a conductor. The mana emitted from Adela’s body solidified into blue. Accurately smashed the heads of more than 10 ice archers.
visor! blah blah! Clink!
Let’s smash the ice archers he made at once. The Ice Witch directly raised her staff and stood up.
Ice Witch’s strength is the highest among level 4 bosses. In addition, it was possible to cast tricky ice magic multiple times using mana.
“■■■■!”
A window of cold air was created around the Ice Witch along with an unknown language.
thud!
Let the ice witch hit the floor with her staff. A spear of frost shot at Adela.
Wedge love!
If you hit it as a hunter, it’s a skill that corresponds to a special move. Adela thought with an expressionless face.
‘This time again…’
Adela didn’t find anything interesting in the dungeon raids or the sparring in the academy. The world of hunters that her grandfather had told her about and the experiences Adela experienced were different. because she was so strong
Pod! Papa papapat!
Adela stretched out her hand, and the ice spear crumbled into powder.
“■■■■!”
The Ice Witch shouted in an unknown language. Although she couldn’t understand the words, Adela could understand the Ice Witch’s feelings. Fear and despair on the witch’s face. The dark sign of defeat was a common feature of opponents who had fought with Adela.
After all, Adela didn’t get hot today.
“…È troppo facile”
A voice colder than the freezing cold around it. Adela lightly clasped the outstretched hand. Blue mana scattered from her transparent white fingers.
phut!
Let the gathered mana spread out of Adela’s hand. A huge ice pick swept the front like a wave.
* * *
Gee Ying!
After clearing, Adela returns. Reporters at the association poured out countless flashes of baptism.
click! click!
“Are you thinking of participating in a national competition? If so, is your nationality Korean or Italian?…”
“You achieved first place in the grade ranking at Gaon for the first time as an international student! Any tips?”
“Thank you for your second place impression!”
“What do you think about the Chinese team…?”
Let the reporters rush in like a wave, pushing the microphone. Adela looked at the screen without answering.
[1st place – Jin Ryu (Skyscraper Academy)]
[2nd place – Adela (Gaon Academy)]
[3rd place – Undecided]
The name of the party leader and academy that passed were written on the billboard. However, Shin Yoo-seong’s name did not exist there.
‘No….’
The King’s disciple.
With her rapid growth, Adela thought that Shin Yoo-seong would surely have the same skills as herself.
Gying!
Let the portal next to it work. Adela shook her head.
‘…Shin Yuseong?’
However, coming out of the portal was not the party Adela had envisioned.
-The third place is Choten Academy! It’s Sage!
The guide’s voice echoed and the students of the Japanese team walked out of the portal.
Seiji Kuroki with a hard expression.
Sakura Hanasaki waved at reporters and smiled kindly.
Isshin Kirishima fiddling with the sword at his waist.
“How do you feel about finishing third…”
Waiting reporters pointed their microphones at the Japanese team as well, but Seiji muttered as he looked at the screen.
“…is it another defeat?”
Gaon Academy.
Again, Korea’s Hunter was in second place. Sakura comforted Seiji, who was blaming himself.
“Don’t be too heartbroken. Didn’t one team beat it though?.”
A story about Shin Yooseong.
Shin Yoo-seong had not yet entered the rankings.
“Um, I see.”
Seiji’s calm reply.
Then the winds of change blew. A flurry began among the officials who were watching the monitor.
“You say you’re going back after defeating Dullahan? Could it be a double attack?”
“Two bosses in the exam? isn’t that crazy I’m sure I won’t even be able to rank up and be eliminated…”
All the party leaders’ eyes gathered at the unbelievable story of the officials. Among them, Ryujin reacted the most sensitively.
‘…Double capture?’
Targeting two bosses in a dungeon raid competition was a story I had never heard before. It was because if you missed the prize due to excessive challenge, you could not get the artifact, the reward of the association.
A first attempt in the Association’s history.
There was a change in Adela’s expressionless face while watching the monitor that others couldn’t notice.
‘…It’s also interesting.’
He was a man different from the others.
Of course, it was meaningless if it ended in an attempt. In order for the current attempt to end successfully, it was necessary to be able to settle in 4th place. Adela watched Shin Yoo-seong’s monitor with subtle expectations.
* * *
Forest of Fog.
In front of Shin Yuseong, the remains of the smashed armor were scattered.
‘As expected, the undead are not compatible with me.’
First of all, the undead had no weaknesses in their bodies. There was no concept of a critical hit, and in the case of Dyurahan, the driving force protected by armor had to be broken.
Impossible for an ordinary student.
Shin Yuseong, who possesses the skill of the King of Fist, succeeded in doing so. As if to prove the destructive power of
the Toshinryu Pooryongam Crushing
technique, Dullahan did not even remain in shape. Now, all that remains for Shin Yoo-seong is to catch the ‘Undead’ and return to the association.
Someone’s face came to mind in Shin Yoo-sung’s mind as he hurried his steps.
‘…Sumire should be nice to her.’
Now, the next is the trump card prepared by Shin Yoo-seong. It was Sumire’s turn.
