Became a Dark Merchant in the Academy - Chapter 308
307 – Access_4
308.
“It smells sooo …
An alleyway. A loud roar. A twisted monster crawling on all fours on the ground. As soon as Kyle recognized it, he ran away without looking back.
As an academy cadet who is called a hero trainee, it is not that he does not have his own powers.
‘You look strong at first glance.’
Even if it was goblins or orcs, it was still a risky game to deal with monsters of unknown identity, especially humanoids with large individual differences.
It would be nice if only what you see seemed strong and in reality, it was weak. But if you become as strong as you appear, you will only become an idiot who cannot tell the difference between courage and recklessness.
Moreover, Kyle was a magician. Close combat was so bad that he could easily be crushed by his younger sister.
“It smells better all the time─”
-bang!
How far did it run? It must have thought that it would be difficult to catch Kyle just by chasing him. The monster leaped and blocked Kyle’s path in an instant.
“What the… Shit!!”
Kyle was momentarily taken aback by the sight. After quickly assessing the situation, he turned around and ran away again.
-bang!
“…..”
However, it wasn’t long before Kyle was caught off guard by the jumping power of a terrifying monster.
Kyle swallowed hard.
‘Can you escape?’
It looks tough. It’s a monster that can block an escape route dozens of meters away with just one jump.
With such great jumping power, it was questionable why it didn’t target itself. But it was impossible for the magical world with its pitiful body to dodge it.
But I can’t give up. I’ve never heard of a gate being destroyed. That’s most likely the monster that caused the vampire incident that was being talked about on the news.
There was no way such a monster would have chased me to return my lost wallet. If he had caught me, he would have ended up like the victim on the news.
‘You need to contact me.’
Also, if it’s true that he’s the monster that caused the vampire incident, there are many connections.
But that doesn’t mean I’ll risk my life for revenge.
‘I can’t help it.’
Kyle took a small, deep breath.
If you can’t run away, you have no choice but to struggle.
If you do that, you might find an unexpected opening and escape, or if you’re lucky, you might be able to get a lucky punch.
“Phew.”
After finishing his thoughts, Kyle analyzed the monster while recalling the old saying of the 17th Federation of China, “If you have a strong will, you will win a hundred battles.”
‘Physical ability is about B-class.’
Jumping is something that uses your whole body. With just that, you can roughly estimate the extent of your physical ability.
There doesn’t seem to be any magical element. Of course, it’s entirely possible that there isn’t one yet.
‘I don’t know about the level of intelligence.’
It seemed like he could talk, but he didn’t say anything other than making a weird noise about something smelling, so it was hard to tell exactly how much he was talking about.
‘Judgment is…’
It can’t be said that there was no reason for it, considering that it blocked the escape route so amazingly, but there must be another reason. If it didn’t aim for itself with that jumping ability, its judgment is likely to be lower than that of most animals.
‘then…’
It seemed like there wasn’t really no way.
“My, my smell is getting better!!!”
“Be quiet. I shower every day!”
By the way, Leah is so polarized. Even if you smell a little bit, she says, “Don’t you wash your brother?” How much of a persecutor. If you don’t know about the fragrance, where does the smell come from?
Don’t laugh at my efforts…
‘No, let’s think about that later. For now…’
Kyle quickly started simulating what to do with the information he had learned, and began to come up with his own answer.
“It smells all the time─”
A monster rushes in as if it had read the hint.
But Kyle was faster.
Kyle recalled the simulation records he had just finished and the plans he had made based on those records, and cast his magic.
“I said no!”
The first spell was Fireball. It was a spell that Kyle was confident in.
Several fireballs were fired at the monster.
Because he had poured so much mana into it, the size of the fireball was larger than the head of an average adult male.
-Kwaaang!
The fired fireball engulfed the monster and made a loud noise.
Assuming that this was a normal person who didn’t know how to properly handle mana, it was certain to cause at least third-degree burns. If it was severe, it was powerful enough to cause fourth-degree burns or more.
“It smells good all the time!!”
But the monster didn’t do much damage.
The monster roared, its red eyes glowing in the fire.
‘I guess so.’
Estimated B-class physical specs. If it’s a monster, it varies by individual, but it may have anti-magic powers or something.
It was absurd to hope that something like that could be taken down with a fireball.
“My─”
“Be quiet!”
So Kyle recalled the simulation plan he had made earlier and drew up his mana to activate the magic.
The second spell was Lightning. Lightning struck down from the sky at the monster that had rushed toward Kyle and was about to bite his neck.
-Quaqua light!
The third spell was Wind Cutter. The blades of wind struck down the monster’s two arms that were trying to grab Kyle’s neck despite being struck by lightning.
-Paang!
“my…”
Perhaps because Kyle had poured all the mana he could muster into casting the spell, the monster began to hesitate for a moment.
However, the monster had no significant injuries.
But what Kyle was aiming for was to buy time by making the monster hesitate even for a moment.
“It’s not over!”
Kyle stepped back and continued casting his spell without stopping.
The fourth magic is water. The location is where you fall back and land.
“It smells sooo good!!”
The monster prepares to leap as it confirms that Kyle has escaped.
“It’s noisy!”
As soon as Kyle shouted, the monster leaped forward with its eyes glowing in response.
Kyle simultaneously rolled forward and cast his magic on the spot where he had been before.
The fifth spell is Dig. The location is the same as before.
The ground caved in and the water seeped into the bottom.
And the long-awaited final magic is Call of Ice.
-with a splash.
It activated as soon as the monster entered the puddle of water underground.
Water that freezes rapidly.
The monster began to become trapped in the ice.
“my…”
Realizing that its movements were being blocked, the monster began to struggle, twisting its body in an attempt to break free from the ice.
“Am I a fool? Just stay still like this.”
Kyle continued to use his water magic to fill the water and continued to freeze the water with Call of Ice.
Still, as if that wasn’t enough, the monster continued its rampage.
“smell…”
“Eat some.”
“my…”
“please!”
“you…”
“Jebaaal!”
Kyle took a shit and poured water on it just like before to make ice.
That’s how it was for several dozen minutes.
“…..”
The monster stopped moving completely and was trapped in the ice.
“ah…”
Kyle stumbled and fell to the ground at the same time. Kyle looked at the monster that had become an ice statue stuck in the ground.
“I… I lived…”
It was possible because the monster was stupid and had to use all its powers. But what survived is what survived.
Kyle was extremely tired from the loss of mana and concentration, but he was able to smile, however awkwardly.
“Ah, this is not the time to be doing this.”
Then Kyle realized that he couldn’t just leave the monster alone and took out his cell phone.
The idea was to contact the local hero office or police station and have them retrieve it.
-…..
But neither of them answered. They all went straight to voicemail or notification calls.
“what?”
The Hero Office understands. They have commuting hours there. It wouldn’t be strange if they said they were off work. But the police basically operate 24 hours a day.
But the police didn’t even accept it. This was a bit strange.
But since he had no one else to contact, Kyle continued to contact the police.
Is this the result of such efforts?
-This is Sergeant Lee Won-cheol. What…
I got in touch.
but.
“My, my entire life…”
-hello?
“…..”
By some strange coincidence, Kyle was in no position to hold a conversation.
“It smells so good all the time!!!”
“How could it be… there wasn’t just one…?”
It was because a guy like the one trapped in the ice appeared a little way behind.
“It smells so good all the time!!!”
Not only that, but an identical monster appeared on the other side.
No, monsters are increasing from all sides.
“under…”
Kyle let out a hollow laugh.
If it’s South Korea, it’s one of the hero powerhouses. Even if it’s night and in the middle of an incident. This is ridiculous.
Where on earth did a monster of that size come from?
From noble mtl dot com
How could it not have been detected in the first place?
Kyle tried to understand somehow, but no matter what he did, he couldn’t.
But one thing was certain.
“Is this the end…?”
Death is imminent.
I couldn’t run away. Maybe it was because I relaxed before my escape route was blocked. My feet wouldn’t move.
However, the monsters didn’t care about Kyle’s circumstances.
Monsters rush in as soon as they recognize Kyle.
“Lee─”
Kyle has a younger brother─
“be careful.”
That was when.
An unfamiliar voice rang in Kyle’s ears.
-Kwaaang!!!!!
The sun is setting.
