boom! Just as the team continued to move forward, they suddenly heard an explosion and screams coming from all around. "It looks like we've reached the boss's territory." Byron whispered, feeling the vibration under his feet. White smoke rose from the place where the vibration occurred, and even in the smoke, the sound of collision could still be heard. Clang! Clang! Clang! This is a sound that everyone is very familiar with. It was the clash of swords, the sound of a battle approaching. As the team prepared to discuss their next move, Irina smiled a smug smile, changing her frowning face into her usual expression. "Finally, I can vent my anger." boom!
As she said this, she immediately made a loud bang, and with the momentum of the explosion, Irina flew towards the BOSS's position like a rocket, flying in the air like a bird. Yet, to anyone watching the scene, she looked less like a bird and more like a missile launched from the weapons of a state before the Age of Magic. Byron's eyes widened as he shouted, "Irina, this is reckless!" But Irina had already disappeared into the distance, her flames propelling her into the heart of the battle. "I should have expected this when I saw her smile that way," he sighed, also readying himself for battle. "She's not a strategic person, is she?" Leon also looked at the flames in the sky, his eyes filled with awe and a hint of jealousy. Nora was surprised and a little worried. "Well, she will definitely make a shocking debut." As the team members were talking to themselves, George and Jack began to run in the direction Irina flew. "Don't waste any more time. Even if she is Irina Phoenix, we can't be sure what will happen." "right." Byron agreed, and the rest of the team immediately started running towards the source of the sound. Everyone was exhausted from the continuous fighting, and they wanted to end this exploration as soon as possible. As Irina flew away alone, the magic circle that provided heat to the team also left, so they were more eager to fight the monster than ever. As everyone ran toward the battle, Morse stayed behind. “This feeling is not normal.” Morse whispered to himself, he felt something that shouldn't be here. "Aura of killing." He has been exploring dungeons, fighting monsters, and comparing the monsters in these artificial dungeons, he has realized the difference between real monsters and these artificial monsters. This is one of the reasons why he doesn't care too much about this exploration, because real experience is the most useful. The college is also aware of this and these practical courses are only to lay the foundation for real exploration in the future. When Morse felt the murderous aura in the air, he immediately understood its source and the reason for all this. "The boss monster must have also been influenced by the devil's followers."
If so, that would mean that the Demonic Followers are in action, just as they are in the game. However, there is one difference this time. Which students take which path and which teams are assigned to face the monsters. In this game with multiple options, it is difficult to know which team is fighting the monster in front based on the knowledge in the game. "Since things are going on as usual, there shouldn't be any accidents." In the game, Irina emerged unharmed from the incident, so Morse guessed it would be the same this time. 'However, it is better to be careful.' With this thought in mind, he organized his thoughts and started running towards the place where the vibration came from. ...... boom! When the explosion of flames occurred where the BOSS was, the team members realized that it was Irina's attack. Only she could create such a huge explosion in front of them. “Hurry up.” Although Byron knew that Irina was reckless, he also wanted to contribute his strength in the battle to improve his performance and leave a good impression on Irina. He hadn't had many opportunities to express himself before, which made him increasingly anxious. After all, he didn't know when he would encounter such an opportunity again. Roar! Boom! But just as the team was about to reach where the monster was, another explosion suddenly occurred. This time, it was not flames rising, but snow mist rising, followed by a violent vibration. whoosh! Before their eyes, Irina flew out of the rising smoke, her nose bleeding. "ah?" Everyone was stunned when they saw this unexpected scene. They originally thought that Irina had caused this attack, but it turned out not to be the case. "roar!" As the monster's roar reached their ears, they immediately understood what was happening. "I'll take care of her. The other team seems to need help. Go help them fight the boss." Byron immediately assessed the situation and started to fly towards where Irina went out. He knew that gaining Irina's favor would be helpful in the future, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity. It was a rare moment when Irina looked unconscious. "good." The others didn't object as they all nodded and started running towards the boss, intending to help the other team and improve their results. "Hehehe... a bunch of idiots." Byron whispered to himself, immediately understanding their thoughts.
"This is why you can't make progress in society. Sometimes, giving up short-term benefits to please someone is the best choice." With a smug smile on his face, he continued to run towards where Irina flew. But in this world, things don't always go the way one thinks. And Byron was about to experience this firsthand. “Ouch…” In front of him stood the wolves they had encountered earlier. “Tsk.” Seeing this scene, Byron couldn't help but feel annoyed. He wanted to stand by Irina when she needed help, but these damn wolves blocked his way. 'If it was Irina, she could burn them to ashes with a wave of her hand.' But Byron does not focus on studying like others. He prefers to train his physical fitness, so he is not clear about the abilities of the monsters in front of him. "Snow wolves and the like... you guys are really in the way." whoosh! Byron was conceited and underestimated these snow wolves. He drew his sword arrogantly and gave a disdainful smile. He thought that with the way Irina had easily defeated them before, he could also easily deal with them. "Prepare to be shocked by my power," he challenged, striking a heroic pose. “Ouch…” whoosh! However, these wolves had their own coordination. They pounced on him with agility and precision that surprised Byron. Their behavior was completely different from the wolves he had encountered the first time. "What?" whoosh! Feeling the wolves' alarming speed, Byron panicked and swung his sword hastily. "ha……" Whoosh! Snap! The first wolf dodged his attack and bit his arm hard, splashing blood. "ah!" He frowned in pain and hurriedly tried to shake the wolf off. "Let me go, you damn dog!" Before he could regain his composure, another wolf pounced on him, slashing its claws across his chest. “Ouch!”
Bang! The blow knocked him back, his bravado completely shattered. 'What are these? Why are they so fast and so powerful?' He couldn't understand why they were so much faster and stronger than expected. He struggled to keep his footing, doing his best to fend off the continued attacks. "No, this is impossible!" he yelled, feeling the pain all over his body. He wanted to shout away the pain, but he knew it was impossible. The biting cold wind and the flying snow were also destroying him. “Ahhhh!” Seeing this, he activated the skills he had been hiding as a last resort. 【strengthen】 This is a skill that can increase physical strength in a short period of time. Whoosh! Bang! As his body began to glow, he immediately fought off the monsters, sending them flying. However, the battle is not over. “Ouch…” The third wolf began to circle him, looking for a flaw. Byron, a little dazed by the previous blow, tried to protect himself. However, the wolves worked in perfect harmony and attacked without mercy, attacking him repeatedly, tearing at him with their bites and claws. Even with his strength-enhancing skills, Byron still did the worst possible thing for a hunter. Lose your cool. As the situation became more and more desperate, fear began to sweep through his body. He hadn't realized yet that he had been affected by the murderous aura released by these monsters and became even more desperate. Clang! Clang! "Don't come over here, bastard!" In panic and humiliation, Byron struggled desperately, but he was powerless. Although he fought back against the monsters, none of them was seriously injured. Even when the monsters were injured and bleeding, they continued to attack like manic madmen, ignoring their own lives. His bravado turned to desperation, as the wolves grew stronger, biting, scratching, and tearing him apart in their angry attacks, making him weaker and weaker. By now, he had even forgotten why he was here. In just one minute, he went from being a student at the academy to being hunted at will, fighting desperately to stay alive. "Is there anyone? Help!" he yelled, realizing now that his arrogance was a wrong choice. He looked around, trying to find the rest of the team. But the team members were already far ahead, concentrating on fighting the snowman. “Ouch…”
whoosh! The monsters with scarlet lights flashing in their eyes did not wait for him to cry out for help in despair, but attacked directly. "Stop! Don't come near! I surrender! I surrender!" As the attack continued, Byron's vision became blurred by pain and fatigue. He could feel his strength draining away, his struggles becoming increasingly feeble. He kept repeating the same words, and he remembered that if they encountered a monster that they couldn't defeat, they could call for help and quit the exam. But now nothing happened. "How could this happen... Why did this happen? Shouldn't the academy protect us?" whoosh! Just when he was about to lose consciousness, suddenly, he saw a string of arrows flying towards him. "Tsk.....that's why you are destined to be a supporting role." The last thing he heard before he lost consciousness was a dissatisfied voice.
