Chapter 11: Dungeon Book (5) (1/2)
The Fury Wolf and other ‘wolf’ race monsters shared one characteristic.
‘Straight line attack.’
Use a powerful angular force to rush forward like a bullet.
However, the trajectory of the attack was as simple as that. Therefore, I could avoid it as much as I could with the right timing.
The Fury Wolf kicked the ground.
Roughly pushing the ground with its hind legs, the whole body of the Fury Wolf shot forward at the moment.
Cheu-pa-hak!
Lightning rose from the horns. It burst sharply, and the sound ripples was pierced through by the Fury Wolf.
A speed that was hard for the eye to chase.
The same was true of Jude.
He was level 8, but it was only 8. It was impossible to capture the movement of the Fury Wolf with the eye of Jude.
But there was something he could do.
The moment it departed.
When the Fury Wolf hit the ground, Jude also began to move. He threw himself to the left without any hesitation.
Kwa-jik!
The Fury Wolf had penetrated the spot where Jude stood. Jude had rolled down the floor, and Cordelia screamed.
“Outboxer!”
It wasn’t that I was mistaken that Jude allowed a valid strike.
Cordelia knew. The memories of Yellow Storm shouted.
The consecutive attack comes.
The Fury Wolf, who penetrated the air, hit the ground. It rotates and spins simultaneously with a terrifying angle.
Jude was rolling on the floor. He had not even been able to get up yet.
So, it cannot be avoided.
This attack will end up hitting him!
Cordelia raised her wand. I tried to invoke magic by instinct without thinking.
The target area is the empty space between Jude and the Fury Wolf.
It is impossible to hit the Fury Wolf. So, I directed the attack between it and Jude!
‘Please!’
The spell has been activated.
This was not a magic that had a proper composition, but an attack that simply sends out magical power.
But that’s why it was fast.
She was able to push the explosion of mana between Jude and the Fury Wolf.
Kwa-jik!
But there was no explosion. Lightning broke out from the horn on the Fury Wolf’s forehead, and the mana agglomeration, which was hurriedly created by Cordelia, broke down into pieces.
“Keo-heong!”
The Fury Wolf pierced through the remnants of mana. Cordelia screamed out loud, and Jude raised his upper body.
The Fury Wolf struck Jude. Cordelia could see it then. The Fury Wolf’s sharp teeth will tear off Jude’s neck at once!
Bang!
But it was not.
Instead of Jude’s scream, instead of the gruesome sound of broken bones and flesh, a small pang sounded.
Just before the Fury Wolf reached Jude.
Between the moments created by Cordelia to break through the agglomeration of mana.
“Ke-kaeng!”
The Fury Wolf suddenly rolled on the floor in a painful cry. Far from biting Jude, it went further and struggled.
How.
How the hell!
“The smell of dogs is thousands of times that of humans!”
Cried Jude. Thanks to him, I held my breath and struggled for a short time.
Cordelia understood.
Without thinking about it, I found out what he did the moment I saw it.
‘Smell!’
It was as Jude said.
The dog’s sense of smell was a thousand times than that of humans.
Furthermore, the opponent is the Fury Wolf.
All abilities were superior to ordinary dogs.
It was a paper envelope that Jude had burst.
It was a special odor bomb created by combining various items!
He had planned for this from the start to the end.
He had to level up first in the dungeon, so he couldn’t beat the Fury Wolf with the frontal attack method (attacking fairly without using tricks) when he first planned this.
Thus, he aroused its sense of smell.
Evading the first straight line attack and then detonating the odor bomb during the second turn attack.
Thereby temporarily neutralizing the Fury Wolf.
An intolerable smile spread over Cordelia’s face.
She laughed and clenched her fists.
Yes, this is Outboxer.
He’s the #1 in the server rankings that I’ve never won against!
“Kuhak! Kak! Cordelia!”
Jude coughed as he shouted, and Cordelia did not miss his cry.
No, she was already on the move when Jude started yelling.
It wasn’t only Jude who had prepared a number of hidden provisions.
Cordelia had prepared for the moment too!
“!”
Cordelia activated the magic stone in her left hand.
Like the piece of paper inscribed with the magic circle used by Jude, the stone was filled with mana.
It was created by Count William Chase, who was the Chase’s family head at that time before Cordelia’s father.
The spell was activated.
It was a pit with 3 meters in diameter and 3 meters in depth, which was formed with the Fury Wolf at the center, who was still tormented by the smell.
“Kke-ching?!”
The Fury Wolf that was suddenly stuck in the pit made a sneezing sound, but Cordelia did not stop.
As soon as I stopped in front of the pit, I wielded the wand to invoke magic this time.
“!”
“!”
“!”
Most of the beginners of Legend of Heroes 2 always chose attack magic as the first magic to learn.
It was not strange.
Attack magic was needed to deal damage to the enemy.
However, attack magic was not the only way to attack the enemy.
Moreover, the wizard was not just an artillery unit that fired off attack magic.
‘The wizard is the one who controls the situation.’
Among the rankers of Legend of Heroes 2, it was Cordelia who risked her life more than anyone else, but she did not forget the most important fact.
The wizard was not just an artillery unit.
They were the ones who controlled the situation. They were the ones who made it possible to win fights that could not be won.
Therefore, Cordelia was not obsessed with attack magic.
I learned to make the floor slippery.
I learned to dig a pit that can transform the battlefield.
“!”
It couldn’t compare to Count Chase’s . However, it worked because it was used four times in a row on an existing pit.
7 meters deep.
If it’s only this deep, the Fury Wolf can somehow escape.
But it was okay.
Because Cordelia knew it.
Because Yellow Storm believes it.
“Outboxer009.”
As soon as she was exhausted and fell on her lips, Cordelia said quietly. And in response to her call, Jude, who had been running, tore up all the remaining magic circles in the pit.
“Bingo.”
Immediately after speaking in a low voice.
Jude threw himself at Cordelia. He fell almost at his stomach, and at that moment the ground shook with a loud roar.
Kwagagagagagak-!
Flames, lightning, and wind were rampant. The magic in the narrow space influenced each other to create a greater explosion.
Kwagwang!
The last roar.
Jude and Cordelia raised themselves up almost simultaneously. The two of them slid their heads into the pit side by side, and soon smiled contentedly.
“The level has gone up.”
Jude spoke loudly, and white rings of light swirled round the bodies of Jude and Cordelia in succession.
One, two, three.
Jude’s level was 11, and Cordelia’s level was 10.
And that was not the end.
[You acquired the title ‘Caught the Fury Wolf before level 10’.]
[Permanently increases all stats by 1.]
The phrase came into my mind.
I couldn’t open the status window, but I felt a new surge of energy coming up like when I level up at the moment.
“Title.”
Bonus points you can get when you achieve something.
Jude held out his fist to Cordelia.
“Fine play.”
“Fine play.”
Cordelia who bumped fists with him, replied with a smile but only for a moment.
“Ugh, the smell! Hey, get away first! You smell like shit right now!”
When the odor bomb was burst, the smell had clang to Jude too.
In response to Cordelia’s reproach, rather than feeling sad, Jude laughed and leaned towards Cordelia.
“Ugh, I’m suddenly feeling anemic because of my Gueumjulmaek…”
“Hey! I can see you’re acting!”
But still, Cordelia reflexively supported Jude.
Jude leaned on against such Cordelia and pointed his chin at the sky.
“I guess it finally came out.”
“It’s true… Wow!”
Cordelia who was trying to push Jude away, opened her eyes wide and admired. I had no choice but to.
“B-rank skill book.”
Two columns of light formed in the shape of a book and floated in the air.
Jude and Cordelia exchanged looks, and a bright smile spread across their faces.
***
Skill book.
As the name implies, it is a book which you use to acquire skills, and it’s the most popular means to acquire skills in Legend of Heroes 2.
‘Because it’s easy and simple.’
