Chapter 144
Right after he succeeded in joining Dahlia and Kyle at the right timing.
After completing the operation briefing of about 1 minute,
We battled two A-rank monsters that came down to the lieutenant boss room.
The combat composition was never bad.
Even though they are A-rank monsters, they still haven’t recovered 100% of their strength because of restraints and control spells.
It’s much stronger than the previous Death Stalker, but it’s not impossible to deal with.
If it was an A-Rank monster in this state, I could somehow deal with it with this amount of power.
“Kyle! Don’t overdo it!”
“Don’t worry, friend. Because I am still relaxed.”
And above all, it is good.
Sharp Mantis, the monster that Kyle is dealing with alone and wasting time, is a monster whose strengths are its speed and the sharp blades attached to its arms.
In short, it is a monster similar to Kyle.
Of course, the ability is much higher than Sharp Mantis.
If you look at this, you can say that the compatibility is rather bad.
It’s the same type, but saying that Kyle’s ability is low is the same as saying that Kyle is backward compatible with Sharp Mantis.
But that’s what people who don’t know Kyle can say.
“And an attack like this. They are nothing compared to Master!”
No matter how fast and strong Sharp Mantis is, he can’t compare to Min Ga-yeon, Kyle’s teacher.
The speed, power, and sharpness are incomparable.
“If I’m going to get hurt by such an arbitrary swinging of a sword, I’ve already been excommunicated a long time ago.”
Kyle laughed as he dodged Mantis’s blade by a single piece of paper.
It was not narrowly dodged.
The whole planned evasion.
In order to evade the opponent’s attack with minimal force, Kyle was avoiding all attacks with a gap of a piece of paper.
“… … Because it’s like a real monster. it’s annoying.”
Dahlia clicked her tongue at the sight.
Kyle’s low speed and combat sense were always the object of envy.
“dahlia! If you can afford to see Kyle’s side… … .”
“know! I’m ready anyway!”
Dahlia cut me off and cast a spell.
Blue flames that spread their power at once.
That’s another A-Rank monster I’m dealing with.
The half-man, half-beast monster, Werewolf, settled down as if it were wrapped around it.
“Now!”
Along with Dahlia’s command, the other players fired fire-type magic all at once.
All the magic settled down as if it were a werewolf.
“Shin Ha-yul!”
“check!”
At the same time, I also wrapped the ‘Super Heat Hell’ all over my body.
In that state, I jumped into the werewolf surrounded by all kinds of fire magic.
Approaching.
The fire attribute magic used by 7 people, including Dahlia, tried to burn my body, but Superheat Hell, which boasts overwhelming fire attribute resistance, protected my body.
Aww woo woo-!
A werewolf roaring from the center of fire magic.
I could see his figure clearly through the flames.
‘The Werewolf’s characteristic is its strong tenacity. And magic immunity ability.’
Werewolves can dispel magic through their roar.
That roar is a roar to erase the magic that filled the surroundings.
‘Where, if you can erase it, erase it.’
A werewolf whose focus was sold on its roar.
I walked up behind the werewolf and got on its back.
Even so, he didn’t notice my presence.
‘When using Dispel Howling. All the senses of a werewolf are focused on that side, and the other senses are almost blocked.’
In that state, I immediately wrapped around the werewolf’s neck and put my hand on his neck.
The location closest to the gnome’s vocal cords.
As if the dispel howl was about to activate, the trembling inside my vocal chords was transmitted to my hand.
I felt the trembling as it was and moved my mana.
‘Interference (干涉).’
I still haven’t 100% grasped the magic formula of Dispel Howling.
Therefore, perfect interference is impossible.
However, twisting the magic formula just a little bit was enough for now.
‘Insert my mana into Werewolf’s mana. That’s enough for now.’
I put impurities called my mana into the werewolf’s mana.
Originally, this level of interference was meaningless.
but.
‘Sensitive magic like Dispel Howling can be canceled enough with this amount.’
If the magic is dispelyu magic, it’s a different story.

As it is the most sensitive of all magics, even such a minor intervention is sufficient.
oh oh oh oh… … jade?
The werewolf, who had been roaring, suddenly jumped up and grabbed his neck.
He knelt on the floor, scratching his neck as if in pain.
I left the Werewolf behind and stepped back.
“dahlia!”
“okay!”
At the same time as my cry, Dahlia’s blue flame moved.
The magic of the other students was the same.
Fire, fire, fire! Quaang!
Flames focused on the place where I left, and an explosion occurred.
On top of that, I also condensed the superheated hell I was wearing into a sphere and threw it away.
Aaaaaang!
My flames added to the already wild flames, and the explosion became more intense.
dump!
Beyond the thick flames, a werewolf collapsed on the floor in a blur.
‘God’s eyes.’
My eyesight confirmed that all mana was draining out of his body.
“Werewolf death confirmed! Phase 1 is over!”
Werewolf’s subjugation is over.
“Next, Phase 2. Switch to the subjugation of Sharp Mantis!”
At my cry, Dahlia nodded and shouted.
“Everyone to the location! Kyle! Get out of the way!”
The only thing left now is Sharp Mantis, whom Kyle is dealing with.
* * *
About 10 minutes passed after that.
The subjugation of Sharp Mantis is completely over.
“… … I will die.”
Dahlia lay flat on the floor with a pale face.
I could tell without even looking at it with a divine eye. Dahlia is currently on the verge of exhausting her mental strength.
‘Following the Bon Dance of the Resurrected Bird, I dealt with Werewolf and Sharp Mantis.’
Rather, it’s great that it hasn’t spread so far.
“Will you use it because your stamina is so low?”
“Shut up Kyle. Aren’t you lacking in stamina?”
Kyle, on the other hand, still seemed to be in good spirits. In this battle, Kyle didn’t use all kinds of ceremonies, including ‘breeze’.
As the bucket was the main role, there was no opportunity to use it.
As such, it was only natural that she was much more relaxed than Dahlia’s mental or physical strength.
Even if it’s not that, Kyle’s stamina was far superior from the beginning.
“Depletion of mental strength is ultimately a matter of training… … . Something is coming.”
Kyle didn’t say anything and flew away somewhere.
It was moved to check and respond to the approaching monsters in the passage leading to the entrance of the lieutenant boss room.
Awesome!
Kyle quickly approached the monster and dropped its head.
Kyle looked at the corpse of the monster, whose neck had disappeared, lying on the floor with puzzled eyes.
“Ha Yul-ah. Boy, your body is already a rag. It must have been fighting elsewhere and running away.”
The monsters fled all the way here in a state that was no better than a rag.
In other words, the battles that were taking place elsewhere were also going very favorably.
“Did the escort team or emergency response team move?”
Kyle came closer to me as he swung his sword into the air, brushed off the blood, and put the sword into the scabbard.
“no. Probably not. The wounds are too rough to see that the escort team came forward.”
Judging from the monster’s scars, it seems that a fierce battle took place.
If the escort team or the emergency response team moved, there was no way these scars would remain.
“hmm. Then it was handled by another team.”
“There is a high probability of that.”
“… … What is the management team doing?”
Dahlia, who was lying behind her, gasped and complained.
He also spat out harsh curse words in a low voice.
I almost died because of a mistake on the management side, so it was only natural that such harsh words would come out.
“Seeing that no contact has been made even after all this time, I wonder if something else has happened.”
I looked at Dahlia and Kyle alternately and said.
“What are you doing?”
Dahlia lifted her upper body and sat down and asked.
“I don’t know. It’s just speculation.”
Some 20 minutes had passed since the blackout. Nevertheless, the management side has not shown any response.
This cannot happen unless some external variable has occurred.
“… … okay. Under the circumstances, that seems to be the case.”
Dahlia replied with a slightly calmer, slightly calmer expression.
“So you’re saying it’s a problem if you leave the arena?”
Kyle’s expression became more serious.
“yes. The terror happened, whatever it was. There must be some very dangerous situations out there.”
“… … Are you using the phrase “mountain beyond the mountain” in this situation?”
Kyle sighed deeply.
It seemed that he didn’t like this frustrating situation very much.
“Then would it be better to go out after resting a little more?”
Kyle glanced at Dahlia, who was sprawled on the floor.
Wouldn’t it be better to move after Dahlia has recovered to some extent?
It was such a meaningful word.
If you think about common sense, it’s right to do what Kyle said.
Dahlia is the best power of this party. If danger lurks outside the arena, it is only right to move after Dahlia’s condition has recovered to some extent.
“no. That’s not allowed.”
But unfortunately, I can’t afford that right now.
“Recovery or something, we need to get out of this arena as soon as possible.”
“… … why?”
“Why? Kyle is an idiot. Have you forgotten who the last boss of this arena is?”
Dahlia answered before I could say anything.
“What kind of guy is that? It’s a three-color tiger.”
“ha. Are you really clueless? Or is it short-lived… … .”
He looks at Kyle as if the world is pathetic and clicks his tongue.
“While waiting for my recovery, what would you do if the tricolor tiger came down?”
“aha?”
Is that Kyle? With a smile on his face, he let out a small exclamation.
“No, but seeing that they haven’t arrived yet, isn’t it that they couldn’t break through the security of the final boss room?”
“There’s no way a tiger of three primary colors could not break through an iron gate that even Werewolf and Sharp Mantis pierced. Are you really stupid?”
The iron door of the final boss room and the iron door of the upper boss room do not differ much in terms of strength.
Couldn’t the tricolor tiger destroy the iron gate destroyed by Werewolf and Sharp Mantis?
It is impossible.
“Then why are you still not moving?”
“That’s it… … . I don’t know.”
Dahlia averted her gaze and looked at me.
It was an expression that believed I knew the answer.
“It’s to restore your strength.”
“… … Regain your strength?”
“uh.”
I checked the burnt-out Werewolf corpse and the dismembered Sharp Mantis corpse in turn.
“I don’t know why, but all the restraints and control techniques that bound the monsters in the arena have been released. Thanks to that, the monsters regained their original strength.”
“yes?”
“But only the middle and lower level monsters have fully regained their strength. High-ranking monsters with many restrictions were different. As much as they were under stronger restrictions, their powers do not immediately return when the restraints are lifted. That’s why we were able to deal with Werewolves and Sharp Mantis with such ease.”
“… … .”
He seemed to understand what I was trying to say.
Dahlia’s eyes trembled.
“So, the tricolor tiger is crouching down to recover its strength?”
“maybe. Because the tricolor tiger is famous for being smart. It will most likely be.”
“… … Then it’s a big deal.”
If it continues like this, it will be in a position to fight a three-color tiger in full condition.
“It’s a big deal. That’s why they say we need to get out quickly.”
The three-color tiger is a monster that is so powerful that even three monsters from the upper boss zone attack at once.
Dealing with a monster like that is the worst of the worst.
We need to get out of this arena as soon as possible.
“I understand. Then quickly head to the lower boss room… … .”
That was when Kyle was about to speak for the last time.
“Hey Bro. I’m sorry for suddenly pouring cold water on you.”
A familiar voice came from the lieutenant’s boss room.
“I want to get out of the arena, but there’s no way out.”
Passing through the dark aisle, Sunchan appeared with a worldly expression on his face.
The other side seemed to have gone through a fairly intense battle, so it was not a word.
“… … what does it mean?”
“What do you mean, what do you mean, literally?”
Behind Soonchan, senior Ma Jinseok also appeared.
After that, Adela and Jin Hee-yoon sunbaenim.
All 9 members of the Korean team were visible.
“This arena is completely sealed. Adela confirmed.”
Adela nodded at Soonchan’s words.
“yes. While I was in the lower boss zone, I checked the security wall to get out of the arena. It was closed.”
Adela continued.
“Perhaps the security wall malfunctioned and went into air-raid mode. We are completely stuck in this stadium right now.”
“… … okay? That is devastating information.”
I smiled bitterly as I looked at the passage leading to the upper boss room.
“in short… … It means that the only way to survive is to defeat the three-color tiger… … .”
With Dahlia’s murmur, a dark atmosphere settled inside the cave.
