chapter 22
The village was quickly occupied by the Gulag Ants.
The fortunate thing is that they succeeded in hiding the villagers just barely.
And thanks to the heavy rain and heavy rain fog, the senses of the ants were also unable to function properly.
‘Rather, I think it’s better because I have time to rest.’
Do-jin, who hid by leaning against the fence of someone’s house, waited for enough vitality and mana to recover.
In front of Dojin, there were three dead bodies of Gulag Ant.
They quietly dealt with the guys who were patrolling in groups to find hidden prey.
Do-jin tried to open and close the hand that was not holding the sword.
It is to check the decrease in physical ability due to the cold.
As LOST reproduces almost all parts of reality, it was necessary to thoroughly check these parts before battle.
Fortunately, there was no change in physical ability due to chills or exhaustion, probably because of the high physical stat.
Chubuck, chubbuck, chubbuck.
The sound of digging through the wet, muddy ground.
‘Are the others coming already? Ah, it might be because of the smell of these things.’
It would be difficult to find a human hiding in a hole dug in the basement of a house in a place full of human smell, but it would have been easy to identify the smell of the bodily fluids of a dead relative.
It was the thought of looking at the corpse he had disposed of.
Do-jin quietly prepared the magic.
The same ice arrows as the previous three.
Tatak, Tadak.
By that time, I hear the sound of jaw joints clashing wildly from beyond the rain fog, and the sound of them approaching becomes more urgent.
The figures of them rushing into the line of sight seemed to burst through the curtain.
Fubu book.
At the same time, the ice arrows shot by Do-jin were stuck in their heads, and they passed through their bodies and escaped through their backs.
Chow.
The ants that died instantly swept across the floor and slipped with the same momentum as they were rushing.
It was the harmony of high magic attack power and perfect aim.
‘I think I’ve recovered enough now, so I need to move.’
Do-jin, who added three corpses on top of the corpses of the ants who died beforehand, left.
Along with the strong rain, the heavy rain fog, and the still darkness.
Since the visibility was less than 5 meters, it was difficult for Do-jin to guess where he was in the village.
It is a situation where there is not enough mana for attack magic to use [Impression].
Even though the environment has deteriorated, the battle itself has become much easier.
It was only natural that it was easier to deal with scattered ants rather than ants that came all at once.
Dojin walked around and dealt with the Gulag Ants one after another.
It was time to get rid of the ants while running around in the rain for a long time.
A faint scream was heard from somewhere.
‘Sophie!’
Dojin’s head turned in the direction of the sound.
The terrified scream that reached through the heavy rain was Sophie’s voice.
Kwajak.
The sound of something breaking or collapsing.
Dojin ran towards the sound.
“Move!”
The heads of the ants protruding from between the walls flew through the air in an instant.
It is the power of the [Wind Blade], which was completed and loaded in advance, and aimed precisely at the connection part of the enemy that jumped out.
Before the heads of the severed ants reached the floor, Do-jin passed by.
“sh*t… … !”
The house where the sound was heard was already occupied by ants.
The outer wall of the house was already terribly broken, and the ants were roughly digging into the basement of the house.
The mana of the wind formed in Dojin’s swordplay, which was enraged.
The blades of wind fired in succession mercilessly cut down the ants gathered in Sophie’s house.
They made a ki-ki-chi- sound, but they were destined to follow those who died first.
In an instant, Do-jin, who killed the people surrounding Sophie’s house, removed the corpse of the ant lying in a place where a tunnel would be located with telekinesis.
When alive, the creature’s inherent magic field and the resulting magic resistance disintegrate its “insanity”, but when it dies, it’s just a piece of meat.
The corpse was lifted and thrown helplessly.
‘Already in… … !’
Dojin’s expression collapsed.
It was because there were signs that they had already dug a larger hole and squeezed in.
“Huh… … !”
Then there was a sobbing sound from inside.
“Sophie?”
No answer.
Still, the cries continue to flow.
It was the sound of being alive.
After confirming Sophie’s survival, Do-jin squeezed herself into the cave.
The cave dug diligently to evacuate in case of emergency is L-shaped, and the space widens a little as you go down.
At the end of the cave, there was Sophie shivering with a dagger in her hand, and Hanolds and Jenny lying down next to Sophie.
And the dead body of Gulag Ant.
“Oh, brother… … !”
Sophie, who was crying in the blue, sat down as soon as she saw Dojin.
Then I turned my head and looked at my parents, but I couldn’t say anything, just opened my mouth.
I was stunned to see my father bleeding from the head and my mother lying down with a big wound on her side.
“it’s okay. Everything is fine.”
Do-jin hurriedly approached and blocked Sophie.
If, by any chance, two people are dead or dying, just watching that scene will be traumatic for the rest of your life.
Dojin hated this moment the most.
A situation like this, where you have to check the survival of your parents in front of the surviving child.
“Ugh… … !”
ha. Dojin sighed in relief.
Jenny, who was bleeding from her side, was breathing out.
If alive, this level of wound could have been saved with a healing potion.
Do-jin took out a healing potion and sprinkled it on Jenny’s wound.
Just eat it after a while. What is urgent right now is confirmation of Hanolds’ survival.
‘thank god. My pulse is racing.’
Is it because I’m too nervous?
As soon as I confirmed that they were both alive, my eyes widened.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Maybe it’s because I used too much mana.
Anyway, both Hanolds and Jenny were alive.
“Uh, mom and dad are you okay?”
A small hand touched the hem of the robe.
Careful Hands was terrified.
Dojin left half of the potion on the floor, took out a bottle of new potion, and put it in Sophie’s hand.
“Both Mom and Dad are fine. So no need to worry I’ll be back soon, so will you protect mom and dad? I will feed these two here.”
“What about your brother? are you going out? What if you get hurt? Can’t you just stay here with me?”
Do-jin stroked Sophie’s head at the tearful question.
“We have to save others too. Instead, I’ll keep the ants out of here, so you don’t have to worry.”
Sophie couldn’t answer, and her lips trembled and wept.
“don’t worry.”
Saying this, Dojin stood up.
Yes, it was low enough that I had to stoop down.
Like that, Do-jin’s gaze, which was about to go outside, fell and fell into the dead body of Gulak Ant.
A cross section with the head split exactly in half.
too tidy
There were absolutely no traces of the herbalist cutting them down.
for a moment. Come to think of it, it was Sophie who was holding the knife.
Dojin looked back at Sophie.
Suddenly, he puts down the dagger and carefully tries to feed his mother and father the potion Dojin gave him.
‘no way… … .’
Dojin quickly looked at the hands of the three families.
At first, of course, I thought that Hanolds had passed out after killing an ant while fighting.
‘There’s no bodily fluid on it.’
Hanolds’ hands were clean.
It was none other than Sophie whose hands, sleeves and forearms were stained with ant bodily fluids.
[Quest contents changed!]
Gulag village girl
Class: Destiny
[Tonight, a village is in danger of being wiped out due to one man’s ugly greed.
In a town that is on the verge of being erased, there is a child with untapped potential.
Please save the child from misfortune.
So that Rostania can move in a slightly better direction.]
Objective: Stop Sophie’s Misfortune
Rewards: EXP, Gold, Bonds
The moment Dojin realized that, the quest content was modified.
The person who must be saved in this quest was that girl.
‘… It’s not important right now.’
Dojin removed the quest window that appeared in front of him.
The fact that ants gathered in front of this burrow despite heavy rain means that other people are also in danger.
Finding out who had to be saved didn’t make Sophie the only person to be saved.
“I’ll be back soon.”
Do-jin smiled at the child who looked at him anxiously, and as soon as he came out of the cave, he applied the spear of the earth to block the entrance of the cave.
Immediately, another scream rang out.
“You don’t give me time to rest.”
Through heavy rain, he killed ants and saved people in crisis.
In the meantime, Do-jin felt that his magical abilities had grown significantly.
but. How can you not grow when you use magic like crazy?
All of Do-jin’s magic is Do-jin himself. In other words, the way to take out and implement what is recorded in the Book of Truth.
It is only natural that the Book of Truth, a recording device, will grow as you use magic.
Then again, the performance of the recording device has improved, so it is a perfect virtuous cycle that can clearly contain and implement records.
If you learned a new magic to get a minimum casting speed enough to be able to use it in real combat, it could be said that it was a preferential treatment to other wizards who were skilled at using only the same magic for three days and nights.
‘for a moment. The mana wave just-‘
Dojin, who was contemplating the highest level of job satisfaction, stopped.
It was because he felt the mana wave he had felt right before the incident happened again.
direction… … .
‘There it is.’
A building with several ants flocking to it.
Do-jin defeated the crowd of ants and entered the building where the wave was felt.
Potatoes and grains of wheat were scattered here and there.
It was a place where the villagers gathered food.
The source of the mana wave was inside a bag full of wheat.
“I hope this exists.”
What was discovered was a magical device with a complex magic circle engraved on a sphere-shaped metal and a magic stone embedded in the middle, which was used to lure monsters.
The level of monsters that can be attracted is low and the types are limited, and it is an item that can not be used again after a few times, and the cost-effectiveness hits the bottom.
‘It was famous for being filthy and inconvenient to use.’
The Law of Lure is a magic tool consisting of a sphere-shaped body and two sets of triggers. In order for the main body to generate mana waves, the operator with the trigger must be within a certain distance.
In other words, it was said that the culprit would be not far away.
Dojin focused his mind.
[Book of Truth] was also activated.
To raise the mana sensitivity even a little.
‘I can track it.’
Then, it was found that the mana wave, which was felt to be simply spreading, was actually splitting in two directions.
Cutting the canyon that the ants crossed in a straight line is, of course, a wave to call the ants.
On the side where the slightly skewed northwest-facing line continues.
‘It must be the place where the bastard who orchestrated this deed is located.’
The brilliant golden book evaporated.
The sound of numerous footsteps approached from the darkness again.
Gulak Ants scattered throughout the village were drawn to the device and approached.
it was better
“Okay, everyone follow me. Because there seems to be a kid who is eager to see your face.”
Do-jin, chanting coolly, ran in the direction indicated by the mana line.
Butchering large bugs that stumble.
