‘What?’
Raiden made eye contact with me when I reached out my hand towards his head.
‘Ah, in the gap…!’
Puk!!
Raiden was distracted by the tremendous impact that struck his forehead. The magic shield, which he always wore around his body, shattered into pieces, and shock engulfed his mind.
In the midst of that, Raiden instinctively responded by spreading mana waves.
Paang!!
‘Oh, that was close.’
Because the attacker had already fled, the mana wave only hit the air, but Raiden, who shook his head and woke out of his stupor, realised that one of the Point Sticks in his left hand had been stolen.
“Damn it…!”
I took it away in a short span of time.
“What, what?”
“What suddenly…”
As expected, the other sheepdogs couldn’t even react. Raiden gritted his teeth and looked back at me. There, I was playfully waving two Point Sticks.
“You bastard…”
Apart from his anger, I was honestly a little impressed. It was true that the mage who trained the mana had a better sense compared to the general public, but even so, I did not imagine that the first year student who had no experience in combat would be able to respond to Flash.
‘Well, no matter how stupid you look, you’re still a Stella’s student?’
It was possible for me to sneak a Point Stick like this when they were off guard, but it would be more difficult now that they have begun to prepare.
“However, as expected, it’s a Point Stick. The performance is unmistakable.”
One thing that many players discovered while playing the game and watching this episode.
The Point Stick was, in fact, a ‘bug-like item’.
The Point Stick, created by the faculty to prevent it from being destroyed by students’ magic, was unusually durable, and when wielded, it displayed a significant level of strength comparable to magical weapons.
As a result, there were many amusing situations during the dungeon training in which novice gamers who were inexperienced in using magic beat demons with Point Sticks.
Of course, it really only worked for newbies, and it would be more advantageous to use magic, but…
It was different for character Baek Yu-Seol.
His main focus was physical attacks, and if a weapon with strong attack power was given to him, he could use Flash with 100% efficiency.
“It was well-received. If I ever get a girlfriend later, I should give one to her as a gift.”
“You, you motherfucker!”
As Raiden swung his staff and lightning struck where I was standing.
However, I had already teleported over the nearby tree. Raiden’s men hurled ice awls and fireballs at me, but I avoided them by sneaking down the branch.
“Now!”
Two other boys threw Water Bullets at me, assuming I would not be able to move while falling from the air, but then a huge rock fell into the air and blocked the attacks.
It was a dungeon ‘trap’ that was aimed at me.
“Oh, what?”
The dungeon’s traps perplexed the boys, such as soil sprouting from the floor and grabbing their ankles, or trees that had grown around them, causing them to lose their sense of direction by suddenly rotating round and round.
Yes. This was a dungeon, not a place for an easy battle.
I, with the enhanced Sixth Sense gifted the Mana Accumulation Retardation, not only avoided the trap freely but also flexibly used it as a shield or blindfold, turning the Raiden gang into dogs that chased chickens.
“Damn it! Where’s that motherfuker! Hurry up and find him!”
“He, he’s too fast we can’t find him!”
“Argh!”
If they showed even a little opening, I would rush to the trap zone and hit their head with a Point stock.
The boys gritted their teeth and kept vigilance, not knowing when or where they would be attacked.
“There he is!”
“Where? No one’s there!”
“He just disappeared!”
It was a difficult task to find me, who teleported and attacked, while the roots sprang up, tree trunks whipped them from all directions, and the ground spun round and round at the same time.
Since I knew how to make great use of the terrain thanks to my many years of PVP.
I flashed in the East, and I flashed in the West…
I, who was teleporting here and there, noticed a gap and my eyes lit up.
[Flash]
As soon as the decision was made, I approached the boy who was standing on the precipice and casting magic.
And then, I screamed.
“Argh!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
Suddenly, a man appeared in front of him and shouted, and he was so startled that he forgot to cast magic and fell to the floor, losing his wand.
At that moment, ‘Magic Rebound’ was triggered by the effect of casting failure.
There was enough cooldown left to Flash, and it was possible to avoid it, but Magic Rebound of only Class 1 or Class 2 magic skill did not cause too much damage, so avoiding it was unnecessary.
As a result, I acted aggressively.
Just before the Magic Rebound happened, I kicked the boy in the stomach and pushed him to the place where the Raiden and his crew were gathered.
Ting!
The robe’s magic shield wrapped around his stomach lightly intercepted my kick, but the impact was enough to blow him back.
Phut!
“Whoa! Argh!”
“Argh!”
It was a shock wave the size of a firecracker at best, but it was still insane due to the traps in the dungeon, and since they were newcomers, their hearts trembled, and they retreated while screaming.
This technique worked because the opponents were young mages who were still learning how to fight.
And in between.
[Flash]
I moved behind Raiden, who took a step backward in surprise, and I stole another Point Stick.
“You, this dog…!”
“Aiya boss. You are even organising a one plus one event. This will ruin your store!”
“Hey, bring it here!!”
Raiden fired a Thunderbolt, but it did not reach me, who hid behind the tree.
‘I don’t think I’ll be able to take the other one.’
I stuck my head out again, prepared to be content with my spoils.
“I had a lot of fun, so I’m going to go now. I have a date tonight.”
“You…”!
Raiden shouted, but I, who had already activated Flash and left that place, could not hear it.
‘Fufu, it was chaotic.’
If I had fought normally, I would have been robbed, but thanks to the fact that this was a dungeon, I was able to steal the Point Sticks.
‘That’s what adulthood is all about.’
Something caught my eye as I was leaving the battlefield.
The familiar black hair on the head.
‘… Edna? What’s that kid doing here?’
I had no idea because unless the object was using magic, I couldn’t tell their location with my Sixth Sense, and she had been watching my fight with Raiden from a good distance away for quite some time.
‘Is stalking her hobby?’
It was strange. According to the game, Edna had two options to choose from here.
Defeat the ‘hidden boss’ that Eisel had planned to hunt, or intervene in the fight between Hae Won-ryang and Mayuseong to determine their victory or defeat.
‘What’s she doing here at a time like this…?’
I was about to climb a tree while staring blankly at her when my Sixth Sense alerted me of a creepy sensation.
“Uh…?”
When I turned my head.
Whack!!
A huge fireball flew right at my landing spot.
