Chapter 28 Part5 (2/2)

Though Prince had been daunted at her failure at the beginning, she shook it off, and sucked in the ambient mana; she concentrated on casting her most powerful spell as quickly as possible. She had to surpa.s.s her limitations in this pressing situation!

”Fire Demon - Explosion! All of you, burn! Fire Demon's kick!”

”Clear, clear, clear...”

On the other end, Kratia focused on more quickly disarming the traps within her absolute defense s.h.i.+eld. According to her, this definitely wasn't the last of the facilities. There were a few more facilities filled with more powerful monsters and more vicious traps.

'We can't go on by just killing the monsters, and if we were to fail, even after killing this many monsters, I'm afraid of all the new variables that'll come from challenging it again.'

If that's the case, then her job wasn't to kill as many monsters as possible or find the traps set up here but to find the traps that were deeper in, so that she could disarm them immediately. After all, that was the purpose of this training exercise!

She'd already accomplished several feats by doing so and had even reached level 7, so she thought she could do this.

”Clear, clear... s.h.i.+n Woo, there aren't that many traps left!”

”Then, I guess I just need to slaughter the rest of these guys!”

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo took a deep breath. It wasn't like any oxygen would go into his lungs, but he was able to prepare himself for another large-scale attack.

'Heuuuuuup!'

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo split the plentiful mana in his body into two: one part went into Lightning Sprint, and the other... went into Lightning Shadow, a technique he'd never actually used before. It was the general, Hansen Von Dorthe's namesake, and was a technique that processed mana into a unique state: a buff that strengthened the body!

Because Hansen Von Dorthe wasn't able to completely transform his body into lightning, the lightning damaged himself as well, but to Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, who could freely change his interior mana, that didn't apply to him. At the very least, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo far surpa.s.sed Hansen Von Dorthe in terms of mana control.

'As expected, the mana consumption is huge, but... there's nowhere else that I can practice the combination of Lightning Sprint and Lightning Shadow but here, where mana is just pouring in!'

Lightning Sprint, which coated the exterior in lightning.

Lightning Shadow, which altered his interior into lightning element mana.

If he combined the two into one, then what would be the result? It made his heart pound.

'Keuk, Kuhaaaa...!'

But combining the two skills together? He could barely breathe just from using both of the skills simultaneously. If Mana Bone hadn't leveled up to the high rank level, then he wouldn't have been able to even attempt this.

But even amidst the pain that felt like his body was breaking apart, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo grit his teeth and kept his eyes wide open. A large number of sparks were emitted from his body, making it difficult to even see what was in front of him. The powerful lightning that flowed from inside and outside his body antagonized him and viciously bared its teeth at him.

It felt like that powerful energy would only be satisfied if either he or his enemies were destroyed.

'If that's the case, then...!'

The moment Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's two blades became lightning teeth and s.h.i.+ned, the lightning exploded. The earth exploded, and the sky cried out. The monsters' bodies scattered and vaporized into beads of blood.

[The Lightning Shadow skill has become Lv2. Strength and Magic have increased by 10. You can now more naturally control the lightning permeating your body.]

No one could see his skill. They would've either been swept up in it and exploded, or been cut apart by it and blown away.

He had gathered the surrounding mana and made it his own, and in the next moment, discharged the lightning, so it was much greater than Kratia's own Catalyst Magic.

”What is he... He's scary...”

”Clear, clear... Clear.”

Prince, who had been gathering magic to cast her spell, stopped in shock. Contrary to her, Kratia remained calm and continued to disarm the magic traps. However, at some point, she stopped. She had finally disarmed all the magic traps.

'But the fact that the alarm's not ringing means that we really do have to kill all of the monsters.'

However, there weren't even that many monsters left. It would've been impossible if Kratia had come alone, even if she had a hundred years. Since new monsters would be created while she disarmed the magic traps and killed the monsters!

's.h.i.+n Woo didn't realize just how powerful he was, huh.'

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo looked like an extremely impressive warrior while fighting against the monsters, but Kratia saw him more as a magician than a warrior.

Despite the fact that he was plenty skilled enough, he would stake his life in anything he did and fight against enemies where victory wasn't a.s.sured, so he would always prepare alternative methods to beat his enemies. Even if he was a good match, he would take a step back and calmly a.s.sess the situation and then respond.

However, that wasn't because of fear. It was so that he could completely overwhelm his opponent. Because of that, he had underestimated his own abilities. But honestly, his abilities were amazing, so could it even be said that he had a weakness? Kratia just shook her head.

[Kuha, Gaaaaaahk...]

”The end.”

While Kratia was briefly caught up in her thoughts, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's blade pierced through the last monster's head. At that moment, Lightning Shadow and Lightning Sprint were released, and he felt drained, but at the same time, he was filled with joy. He hadn't succeeded the first time, but he had found a clue on how to combine Lightning Shadow and Lightning Sprint.

[Training exercise pa.s.sed. Congratulations. You may now head into the next facility.]

Did it even know how difficult the training was? The appearance of the small world was hidden at the same time they heard the monotone voice.

They could now progress to the next training facility.
