Chapter 92

Chapter 92

The opening march echoed through the halls.

At the entrance to the boss room on the 10th floor villains were sent to stop the Academy students from attacking the boss.

‘Miner’ watched through his ice crystal as the academy students, who had now made it to the ninth floor, met up with ‘Snowgirl Parr’, the villain who had come with him to lead this attack.

“Hah, since they’ve already made it this far, are they really good, or did they......just get really lucky and wake up on the ninth floor?”

It was quite a sight for sore eyes, as he had used his ability to penetrate the dungeon’s terrain to take charge of the defense of the ninth and tenth floors faster than anyone else, freeing up his time.

Setting the pickaxe he was holding aside, he looked at the situation reflected in the ice crystal and pulled out one of the snacks he had prepared beforehand.

“Judging by the color of their name tags, I’m guessing they’re first year students......Huh, and that hair color is the heir to the Sword Saint Clan?”

The miner, who thought it would be a simple matter, smiled brightly at the unexpected arrival.

“Wow, just when I thought I was going to be bored waiting, this is making things interesting, huh?”

Miner merely chuckled and watched the figure through the ice crystal.

If he wanted to, he could go downstairs and help, but then he’d be up against the Academy’s new students.

If he lost to them, they would think he was just as weak as they were.

To a villain, an ally was just something that could be discarded at any time.

“Well, let’s see what the Academy’s new students are made of, shall we?”Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

The blue ice crystals floating in front of the miner reflected the situation upstairs.

* * *

“You’re here sooner than I thought, I thought he said nothing would happen for two days.”

Snow Girl Parr giggled at the appearance of the new students in front of her, and looked at Young-jae who had performed his magic.

“How cute.”

She slapped the snowman she was riding on the head, and the ice crystals that rose from it transformed into a blue awl.

“For now, how about a welcome?”

The ice picks shoot out before Par can finish his sentence.

In response, Se-ah, who was behind Young-jae, stepped forward and spread her hands wide.

At the same time, as if intentionally avoiding them, the ice picks only stuck elsewhere.

“Wow, coordinate interference? Interesting kids, huh?”

Parr chuckles at the appearance of the kids who seem to be more skilled than he thought.

“Huh?!”

With a loud bang, the snowman Farr was riding on shook.

As she looks down to see what happened, she sees Choi Yeon swinging her sword at the snowman’s lower half.

“Stupid bitch, you think you can cut through snow with a sword like that?!”

Once again, Choi Yeon swings his sword at the snowman but the sword fails to pierce the snowman’s body and bounces off.

After it bounced back, Choi took a closer look at the snowman’s surface and realized that it was surrounded by clear ice.

“There are definitely three of them.”

After muttering that, she once again struck the snowman.

The ice crystals that bounced off of it fell to the ground and began to form a pure white body, like bamboo shoots sprouting up.

“Children of the Snow, why don’t you chase those rascals away?”

In an instant, human-sized snowmen filled the surroundings.

Se-ah and Young-jae gritted their teeth and looked at the snowmen.

“Se-ah, I’m going to throw a big one, so I’ll ask you to target them!”

“Leave it to me!”

At Se-ah’s assurance, Young-jae wields his fountain pen.

“GRANDIOSO!”

The fountain pen’s tip bursts into flames and shoots into the sky.

At the same time, Se-ah stretched out her clenched hands and took over the control of the magic from Young-jae.

At that moment.

“Scatter!”

The coordinates of space and the path of magic, visible only to her eyes.

Predicting it all in an instant, Se-ah transforms a single pillar of fire into dozens of stalks and drops them over the heads of the snowmen.

The cold ice meets the hot fire, and in an instant, steam rises and fills their stomachs.

In an instant, the nine-story cavity was filled with steam but the snowmen were still standing, only a little smaller in size.

“No, it’s enough.”

Hearing the cold voice from below, Parr looked down.

Choi Yeon was wielding her sword at the shrunken snowmen, cleaning them up.

Parr flinches and shudders at the sight, but once again, she slashes at the snowman’s head.

“Stop her!”

From what she had seen just now, he used two types of magic: strengthening magic and fire magic...but to use another type of magic here?

“Damn it......Snow block her!”

Parr shouted as she quickly used her magic to melt the ice, but.......

“──It’s too late.”

Choi Yeon, who had suddenly jumped into the air, raised her sword above her head.

“It was my first time fighting such a big opponent, it was fun.”

Choi Yeon murmurs with a very calm face as the blue aura from her hand engulfs the cracked sword in an instant,

It was a beautiful blue light, but just looking at it set off alarm bells in Parr’s instincts.

──Die.

“Holy...... shit, Miner, come help!”

Parr yells as loudly as she can at Miner, who must be watching the scene through his magic.

However, there is no response and a pure white sword blade falls down on the head of Snowgirl Parr.

“Both ends.”

────!

A sound as if a sherbet was being cut was heard, and the snowman’s body exploded.

Kwaaaaaaahhh──!

The snowman’s debris spreads around, creating a fierce blizzard.

At the same time, a pure white light washes over the area.

‘Whiteout.’

‘Snowgirl Wave’ was the last magic she unleashed before she was struck by Choi Yeon attack.

“Haa...... haa......, I almost died, I just need to escape quietly like this......!”

The Whiteout had allowed her to escape the last of the attacks, and she was crouching low, slowly crawling toward the hole Miner had drilled.

‘Those bastards......! I’ll get my revenge. I will get my revenge!’

As she pondered her silent rage in the pure white snow.

“Huh?!”

She collapsed to the snow as behind her, an unknown figure appeared, slowly looking in the direction of the children.

* * *

“Hah, so they’re children after all.”

The entrance to the boss room on the 10th floor of the dungeon.

There, Miner was watching the situation upstairs through magic.

“Hmph.......It looks like it’s taking longer than I thought, but it looks like she is in danger too, so I’m going to go help her.”

Miner shuddered in excitement as he felt a shock that could be felt up to the 10th floor.

As he continues to feel the ground vibrate, he can’t help but feel a strange sense of exhilaration──

“......Huh, wait?”

He suddenly felt strange and froze in place.

A sensation he could only feel because he was sensitive to vibrations.

Realizing that the vibrations that were now continuing were not naturally occurring, but rather man-made, he began to look around.

“Is it the guys upstairs? No, they didn’t do anything to cause the vibrations.”

Just in case, he glances at the massive stone door behind him.

The 10th floor boss room, where the boss of this dungeon is supposedly trapped but the vibrations inside were far too big to be anything more than a vibration.

“Then what the hell.......”

That moment.

[──Ting-dong].

A sound too strange to have come from a dungeon.

[──The tenth floor underground.]

“Wow, this thing really comes to the 10th floor in a room?”

“It was lit, so I pressed it. I didn’t expect it to come this far either.”

“So, if I use this later, it’ll be a bust, boss?”

“No, that would take the fun out of dungeon exploring.”

Miner slowly turns his head at the sudden human voice.

The pillar in the center of the room, which he had thought was just a decoration until now, suddenly split in two, revealing two men.

“Hey, boss, who’s that guy with the hardhat?”

“......Hardhat?”

Miner’s eyes locked with the two men from the elevator.

“......that.”

Eugene’s eyes widened briefly in surprise as he recognized the man in the hard hat, but then the corners of his mouth turned up.

“──Found him.”
