Chapter 26 Lizard Lair (3)

As Holder’s grade will increase, the hole widens. Transitioning from an E-grade Holder to a D-grade Holder is comparatively simple, however going from B-grade to A-grade is sort of unimaginable with out reaching legendary runes or a rare alternative.

Lengthy hours of effort and achievements, together with expertise – when these three elements align, promotion to a better grade turns into doable. Subsequently, from C-grade and above, even Holders of the identical grade usually expertise disparities amongst themselves.

“……”

It had solely been half a yr since Kang Juyeon grew to become a B-grade holder. Regardless of rising to B-grade with overflowing expertise and excellent expertise, by way of Holder expertise, achievements, and sensible duel expertise, she knew she was missing in comparison with different B-grade Holders. Kang Juyeon was effectively conscious of this reality.

The academy’s underground dungeon expedition, and Do Jae-hyun’s sudden proposal – she accepted it not simply because she cared about him, but additionally as a result of she realized she wanted extra expertise.

The early a part of the dungeon, the place C-grade monster Lizardmen primarily appeared, was a secure and appropriate searching floor for somebody like Kang Juyeon. The stable teamwork of Do Jae-hyun and Kang Juyeon’s buddy, Moon Ga-eun, proved to be an incredible assist even to Kang Juyeon, who had appreciable expertise in occasion expeditions.

Actual fight all the time offered invaluable fight expertise for Holders.

‘However… ‘

After rising the occasion members, all of a sudden, a B-grade monster appeared throughout the center a part of the dungeon.

Toxic Iguana – a venomous lizard-type monster with quick velocity.

To be trustworthy, one or two B-grade monsters wouldn’t be an issue. Not too long ago, even the B-grade monster Scorching Salamander was simply taken down by Kang Juyeon and Moon Ga-eun in a single hit. Nevertheless, inside the dungeon, the monsters might collect in teams and transfer collectively.

Highly effective monsters transferring in teams all the time created variables. And in battles, what’s a variable? Variables are harmful ideas, as they might immediately lead a Holder to demise.

‘…I used to be careless.’

Kang Ju-yeon seemed on the magic gathering at her fingertips.

[Magic Control], derived talent [Magic Barrier], the primary protection talent of high-level mage-type Holders.

When the Toxic Iguana launched its venomous assault, Kang Juyeon tried to defend herself with [Magic Barrier]. Nevertheless, the swiftly created protection talent’s efficiency plummeted quickly. Maybe the unfinished [Magic Barrier] allowed the poison to succeed in Kang Juyeon, leaving her helpless.

…The person who protected me simply now, if it wasn’t for Do Jae-hyun.Ñøv€l–ß1n hosted the premiere launch of this chapter.

“……”

Kang Juyeon gazed at Do Jae-hyun in silence. He had taken a seat on one facet of the dungeon, therapeutic himself with well being potions and antidotes.

“Hey, how did you handle that? How did you rapidly leap ahead in that scenario?”

“I-It’s doable, dude.”

“You received’t inform me that simply, will you?”

“You received’t inform me how you bought so robust in only a week.”

“What? I can’t inform you that.”

“Identical goes for me.”

As common, Do Jae-hyun was partaking in a meaningless dialog with Park Jin-woo. He appeared unaffected, as if the latest battle had been nothing out of the atypical. That’s how he had all the time been – not excited by victory, not shedding his composure. He was all the time calm and unruffled by variables. That’s why he left a long-lasting impression on Kang Juyeon.

‘I ought to… inform him one thing.’

One thing like… an apology or a thanks. She ought to have mentioned one thing, however the speedy stream of occasions prevented her from uttering a phrase.

Kang Juyeon had been bothered by this. She briefly turned her gaze to the environment of Do Jae-hyun. Moon Ga-eun was laughing heartily on the two males’s dialog, seemingly having fun with their banter. And Kim Chae-eun…

As a human, I hardly ever had the chance to make use of it. My major weapons have been the sword and dagger. Except I targeted on [Combat], it could be troublesome to develop the [Sturdy Fangs] rune. Nevertheless, no matter whether or not I wanted it or not, it was all the time good to have runes. They might instantly enhance my stats and supply sudden advantages in varied conditions, similar to [Strengthen]. Moreover, since my Toughness stat was the bottom amongst my major stats, runes that supported my toughness have been invaluable. Due to the extent 3 [Sturdy Fangs], I had gained a further 3 factors in Toughness. Now, my Energy and Velocity has exceeded 30, and my Toughness has surpassed 20. With these stats, I might simply be categorized as an upper-tier C-grade Holder within the academy.

“Is that every one of them?”

“Take a superb have a look at them this time. Don’t miss one once more like final time.”

“Oh, actually. Is that not Moon Ga-eun’s fault?”

Park Jin-woo beat his chest as if it was unfair.

I chuckled and laughed as I checked out Moon Ga-eun.

“Do you suppose there are not any extra?”

“Let me test for a second.”

As soon as once more, Moon Ga-eun used [Dolphin’s Sonar]. Together with her eyes closed, she touched the bottom. From her serene expression, I felt that there have been no extra formidable monsters close by.

“Possibly two extra Scorching Salamanders? However they’re too far-off from us. It’s not price going again simply to catch two extra.”

As anticipated, the Scorching Salamander was a monster that appeared within the underground dungeon. One of many monsters that used to reside right here had mysteriously damaged via the [Magic Barrier] and appeared contained in the academy via some form of magical phenomenon.

The Toxic Iguana and Scorching Salamander, two of essentially the most highly effective B-grade monsters within the lizard household…

They have been the primary monsters within the center part of this underground dungeon. We managed to deal with these troublesome monsters and eventually reached the top of the center part.

Almost definitely, the subsequent stage would result in the boss room, which had a excessive chance of being the dwelling place of the dungeon’s grasp.

“Going again just isn’t a good suggestion.”

“Proper. It takes an excessive amount of time. Moreover, catching two extra received’t deliver a lot profit.”

“Kang Juyeon, what do you suppose?”

I turned my head to have a look at Kang Juyeon. Whereas I used to be the sensible chief of the occasion, she was the strongest Holder amongst us. I wished to listen to her opinion earlier than coming into the ultimate boss room.

However Kang Juyeon barely lowered her head and mentioned in a small voice, “…Do as you want.”

Why is she performing like this? It’s creepy. Kang Juyeon just isn’t the form of one who merely follows orders and even offers ‘solutions’… I scratched my head and checked out my occasion members.

So long as Kang Juyeon was okay with it, the remaining appeared to observe my opinion.

“Then let’s assume everybody is ready, and we’ll go in instantly?”

“Positive!”

“Let’s go…!!”

The ultimate part of the underground dungeon within the academy.

The boss room, referred to as the head of dungeon exploration.

Lastly, the second had come to enter this unknown house that had by no means appeared within the authentic work.

[You have entered the boss room.]

[Grizzly Drake’s devastating aura is circulating. Your speed and strength as a Holder are decreased.]

And within the boss room, we encountered the final word ruler of this annoying Lizard Lair.
