I Became a Genius at Gigant Academy - Episode 103
103fury
As soon as he could take a step forward, the Gigant on which Abel was riding slid forward..
It was the effect of the exclusive weapon, Blessing of Wind..
bang!
As I pushed forward, the skeletons blocking my path collapsed like bowling pins..
Of course, the place was again filled by new skeletons..
So don't stop.
Abel swung his sword again..
Quad deud deuk!
Defeat dozens of skeletons with a single sword strike.
When there was space, he activated the blessing of the wind without hesitation and moved forward again..
Quaaaaang-! Kwaang-!
The skeletons banded together to block the advance, or jumped up as high as before and attacked from above..
In the process, damage continued to accumulate on Abel's Gigant..
But that didn't stop Abel..
The important thing is to move forward even if it is slow.
bang! bang-!
Abel swung his sword again and again dozens and hundreds of times..
Then I thought about what Carlton said..
The most important thing on the battlefield is to keep swinging..
No matter how good your skills are and how talented you are, the moment you stop on the battlefield, the only thing waiting for you is death..
So keep swinging your sword.
‘It definitely helps.’
Abel raised one corner of his mouth even while swinging his sword in a trance..
The speed of progress was extremely slow, but the exit was clearly getting closer..
Kwaaaaang!
When there were only about twenty steps left from the exit,.
Suddenly, the skeletons near the exit collapsed with a loud noise and began to rise into the air..
-I feel a strong magical response..
Rufus spoke quickly..
The pile of bones floating in the air eventually began to form a gigantic shape..
I felt a strong determination to never let it go..
However, instead of slowing down, Abel glided forward, using the blessing of the wind with all his might..
If you just break through that, there's an exit..
there was no reason to stop.
-Ohhhhh!
With a roar, a strong chill pierced the Gigant's hard armor and entangled the body..
Abel trembled but raised his sword..
A huge skeleton positioned right in front of the exit stretched out its arms..
Abel swung his sword with all his might toward that arm..
Quad deud deuk!
The bones were crushed and scattered in all directions..
Abel didn't stop there, but moved forward and swung his sword towards the guy's leg..
Kwasik!
The huge skeleton stumbled greatly..
Even in that situation, the guy stretched out his arms and tried to catch Abel, but it wasn't enough to catch him moving at full speed..
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
With the sound of compressed air exploding, Abel's Gigant was launched into the passage..
-Ohhhhh!
A creepy roar was heard from behind..
Abel ignored that and ran and ran. And at some point she.
Paaaaat!
A bright light surrounded Abel..
As soon as Abel saw the light, the wind that was pushing the aircraft forward stopped and stopped..
thud-!
Then a large impact shook the aircraft..
Abel groaned and blinked his eyes. Before he knew it, there was a red wall in front of him..
When I looked around, I saw red walls and floors as well..
Neither the skeleton nor the passage through which he escaped was visible..
All I see is two paths.
-Success.
Rufus briefly summarized the situation. Abel smiled and nodded his head..
“okay.”
Abel checked the time..
Before I knew it, three hours had passed..
‘I don't think it was that long.’
More time has passed than I thought.
“Umm.”
Later, headache and muscle pain came. The reward for running wild has come..
Part of me wanted to lie down on the floor, but I couldn't..
‘essence.’
It was because there was something left to check..
Abel hurriedly fumbled with his hand and opened the storage device attached to his waist..
Chwiik-.
The storage device opened and a mysteriously glowing essence appeared..
Abel sighed in relief when he saw that..
I was worried that something might have been lost or gone wrong during the tense battle..
-It's amazing to see it again.
“okay?”
-Even after death, this much power remained concentrated..
“It's not a common thing.”
-So how do you use it? Is it processed and used??
“no. That would be nice, but it comes with a lot of risk..”
this place. When leaving a special management area, the knights directly inspect the loot and collect a certain amount as a fee..
Of course, we have no choice but to show the existence of essence..
It's extremely difficult to steal things away from their eyes..
-then how……?
“There's only one way.”
After checking several times that no one was around, Abel opened the Gigant's cockpit..
“You absorb it directly..”
-It would be dangerous.
“know.”
Abel responded to Rufus’ words with a grin..
“So I need your help too. I'm counting on you.”
-what?
“Maybe you'll find out naturally.”
Direct absorption naturally carries risks..
But that was something I was determined to get from the moment I first decided to get it..
Abel immediately picked up the essence and held it to his chest..
Paat-!
Soon, a bright light erupted from the essence, turned into a liquid, and was sucked into the chest..
-This is truly reckless..
Rufus spoke in a voice that clearly showed embarrassment, but then he added another word..
-But that's why I like it even more, master..
Abel gritted his teeth as he tried to answer..
It was because I suddenly felt a pain so intense that my hair turned gray..
Even though Abel was trembling in pain, he moved Gigant, closed the cockpit, walked to one wall and sat down..
Soon a terrible scream rang out from inside the Gigant..
A scream that no one can hear.
* * *
Several Gigants were standing near the Red Hall..
The vice-captain of the Jackal mercenary group, who was glancing toward the Red Hall, said..
-Captain. Only 30 minutes left.
The jackal who heard those words was silent for a while before answering..
-Right.
-Shouldn’t you at least check it out??
-no. We retreat at the appointed time as planned..
The jackal said in a stern voice.
When the vice-captain heard that, he didn't bother to persuade him any further..
No matter what, it was the client himself who told him to retreat if he didn't return by the set time..
Although we were together for a few days, we were not personal friends and there was no reason to go against his word and engage in rescue activities..
at that time. The jackal said as he looked towards the red hole..
-Maybe he will come back safely.
-yes?
When the vice-captain asked in a puzzled voice, the jackal calmly added,.
-I just don't seem like the kind of person who would make a mistake in a place like this..
The jackal recalled his past memories..
The tournament at Vulcan Arena was something I participated in half out of interest..
Before establishing a mercenary group, there was a calculation that raising the value of the name would be beneficial in many ways..
I didn't have high expectations for the tournament itself..
There were a few familiar faces, but they were clearly below him, and the rest were only rookie cadets at the academy..
It was the same when I first saw Abel in the finals..
1It was surprising that a first-year cadet beat the others, but I didn't have very high expectations..
But those thoughts were shattered as soon as the game started..
Abel was a man who exceeded his expectations in many ways..
It's not just about skill..
-There are quite a few people with outstanding skills and talent..
The jackal saw such people countless times while fighting on the battlefield or in the punitive force..
-But it's not those people who survive until the end.
-That's what you always say..
The vice-captain received the jackal's words in a calm voice..
The jackal nodded..
-A fighting spirit and a spirit of improvement. Those two things are more important than anything else.
There was a burning fighting spirit in Abel's eyes..
An unwavering fighting spirit no matter how disadvantageous or difficult the situation is..
Even though the situation was clearly much more unfavorable to him, Abel was never discouraged..
Those eyes were only looking for victory from beginning to end..
-uh? Isn't that a signal over there??
at that time. The mercenary in charge of observation pointed toward the Red Hall and said.
At those words, the jackal immediately looked closely towards the red hole. Then I saw the rope fixed to the stake shaking..
-That's right. let's go.
As soon as the jackal confirmed this, he immediately took a step forward..
The vice-captain followed right behind him..
The two quickly approached the red hole and immediately looked inside, and were able to find Abel's aircraft waving his hand..
The jackal instructed the vice-captain to hold on to the stake and motioned for him to come up..
Wow-.
Soon the line was pulled taut and Abel's aircraft slowly rose upward..
When he was almost up, the jackal stretched out his hand..
Cooung-!
As the aircraft touched the ground, a heavy sound rang out..
-It was close..
The jackal raised the corners of his mouth and nodded at the familiar voice..
-It was close..
15 minutes remaining.
If we had come a little later, Jackal and the other mercenaries would have already returned..
-Then we will remove the stake and prepare to return..
-yes.
Abel answered the jackal's question and looked up at the sky with a sigh of relief..
After spending a few hours in a place where everything was red, I felt refreshed when I saw the blue sky..
“I somehow made it out alive..”
-Again, that was truly reckless, sir..
Rufus scolded me in a blunt tone..
It was worth it.
In the process of absorbing the essence, Rufus suffered just as much as Abel..
According to him, it was a pain that tore his soul apart..
Of course, Abel felt the pain too..
‘It was a pain I didn't want to experience a second time..’
I can only say this lightly now, it was never easy to absorb the essence..
In the game, it is simply expressed as a percentage probability of not being able to absorb the essence, and a percentage probability of something going wrong while absorbing it..
What exactly happens during the absorption process was not specified..
It felt like my whole body was being set on fire and at the same time my weak areas were being poked with a large needle..
It felt as if a hot fire was rising from deep within my body and tearing the inside of my flesh to shreds..
At the same time, the mind is clearer than ever, making it impossible to avoid pain.…….
It was truly a time of torture..
Thanks to this, my current mental strength was literally at rock bottom..
‘First, I have to go to the rest point and then take some rest..’
Abel came to that conclusion and slowly walked towards the mercenaries who were ready to withdraw..
Just then a jackal came up to him and asked:.
-Where should we go??
-Let's go to the rest point. I think I need to take a long break.
-All right.
The jackal answered that he understood without any further questions..
Even though you obviously have a lot of questions.
Even if I asked, I wouldn't have been able to answer honestly, but it's natural that it would be easier not to ask at all..
Abel said to Lupus as he walked towards his new destination..
“But it's surprising. I thought he was going to say that he gained new powers and wanted to test them out..”
-……master. I also need to rest when I rest..
Rufus spoke in an astonished voice..
-It's hard to even speak right now, let alone take tests.…….
“but. so do i. First of all, I want to do nothing and rest..”
Abel said so in a light voice..
But did you say that words become seeds?.
Not even five minutes after saying that, the sad news came..
Coo, coo, coo.-!
-Two fragments of a mid-level colossus are approaching ahead.!
-Approaching at high speed! cannot be avoided.
Abel sighed briefly while listening to the mercenaries' report..
Hwareuk-!
At the same time, flames shot out from his sword..
