The mana created by the dungeon flows out, resulting in a large number of spirit monsters appearing near the village of Labre.
The solution to this phenomenon is simple. Just make the spirit monsters continue to spawn in the
It is to hold on to the mana that should flow out towards the lake and the ground by making it continue to be used to create spirit monsters.
Of course, it was impossible to stop the entire flow. However, if you continue to hunt monsters, the mana remaining in the dungeon will gradually increase.
‘Here’s the problem. What happens if too much mana is concentrated within a certain range?’
[The named monster ‘Ancient Zrark’ was born.]
The answer is the birth of a powerful entity.
‘Ancient Zrark. I’ve never caught one before.’
There are many types of named monsters in the
The way it works is that whenever a mana concentration phenomenon occurs, one of them is randomly generated.
And Zrark was a monster that Dojin had never caught before.
So, I wasn’t nervous at all.
This was because he knew Zrark’s characteristics and weaknesses perfectly, even though he had never caught one.
‘You’re lucky.’
Besides, when Dojin thought about it, Zrark was the named character that he was most comfortable dealing with at the moment.
“If it’s ancient, it’s a fish… You have to be careful because you never know where it might jump out. Sosoya, stay right behind me. I’ll protect you.”
“You don’t have to say anything, we’re already stuck together, so look ahead. You know I hate ugly fish, right?”
Dojin wasn’t nervous, but the two women were different.
From the moment the message appeared, they were on combat alert and on high alert in all directions.
Even the usually calm Soso looked very nervous, saying that she didn’t like fish.
Dojin sighed and spoke to the two.
“Named, ancient. Don’t you feel something when you see those two words?”
Teresa and Soso looked at Dojin. Their eyes were innocent and did not know English.
To this, Dojin simply gave the answer.
“When I jumped here, the most I submerged was at knee level. Do you think a named monster could swim in such shallow water?”
Dojin pointed in the direction deep into the dungeon.
“I think we’ll have to go inside to meet him. There are no more monsters respawning in this room. That’s probably the boss room.”
Teresa said sheepishly.
“Now that I hear it… is that so?”
Dojin spoke to Teresa, who was looking around the shallow water, and Soso, who was still closely following her friend and keeping a close eye on her surroundings, as he dipped his feet into the water first.
“Follow me. I have to catch what comes out.”
Then, I pictured the structure of this dungeon in my head.
‘Zrark is a named creature that spawns in deep water. And there is only one place in this dungeon where water of that depth is gathered.’
* * *
Advance forward for a while while killing the spirit monsters guarding the path.
Dojin stretched out his arm and stopped the other two.
“I think it’s in front of here.”
At Dojin’s words, Soso took a step back and Teresa stepped forward.
Teresa said with a hardened face.
“The water looks pitch black.”
“It’s that deep.”
“What should I do? I can’t even see the named. They’re probably underwater, and I can’t fight underwater.”
It was just as she said.
Later on, there will be no need to hide the environment, but not now.
Underwater combat was suicidal.
But fortunately, in Zrark’s room, there were plenty of spaces for people to stand.
‘It’s slightly submerged in water, so it’s barely visible unless you look closely.’
Dojin, who checked the location of the shallowly submerged foothold, said this.
“It seems like there’s nothing that Ms. Teresa, a warrior, can do. I’ll fight this battle alone.”
Of course, Teresa jumped up and protested.
“Are you crazy? You want to go there alone without even knowing what’s under the water!”
Dojin asked her like that.
“Can’t you see anything under the water now?”
Dojin’s one eye, dyed pitch black, turned towards Teresa.
“I can see it. At least I can see where it is.”
Dojin took a step forward.
It was a moment when the two people were divided into those who would stay and those who would go forward.
《Blessing of Mana》
《Blessing of Speed》
《Blessing of Life》
Soso gave a buff to Dojin.
Among the divine magic she currently possessed, there were three buffs that were useful to wizards.
Dojin nodded to Soso to express his gratitude, then looked straight ahead.
《Ice Road》
The water froze in front of Dojin with a “Kkaddeuk” sound, creating a path.

‘There is a wizard’s dignity.’
I can’t just splash around in the water. Thinking this, Dojin ran.
A full-out sprint aimed at the timing when Zrark, swimming in circles in water that fills his pupils, can fall the furthest.
‘Where are you?’
Even while running, Dojin looked around.
A mass of light was seen approaching from deep within the water at high speed, then momentarily stiffening.
Dojin threw his body forward without hesitation.
Phew.
Zrark burst out as water gushed out.
Inside the translucent body, like a spirit, the bones of an ancient, already dead fish are visible.
The half-spirit, half-corpse monster, larger than a mid-sized car, used the power of its leap to sweep away the area where Dojin had just been.
Kwang.
The ice path created by magic shattered and a large amount of water formed into waves, trying to push Dojin away.
However, Dojin skillfully raised his body by using his psychic powers to resist the waves.
It was a feat that could not have been done without the use of incredibly sophisticated controls.
“Whew!”
Dojin, who had spat out the water that had entered his mouth, moved again.
Zrark was also swimming far away to gain momentum and gain momentum.
‘I guess I’ll have to spill it one more time.’
This time, Zrark approached cautiously, as if trying to cover a wider area with more precision.
Dojin’s magic circuit glowed.
Phew.
The water column rises again.
At that moment, Dojin activated the magic he had prepared.
《Ice Shield》
The material is a rising water column.
A large amount of water froze and formed a shield.
Kwang.
The ice shield that collided with Zrark in the air was shattered into pieces.
Still, thanks to that, I was able to buy time to escape Zrark’s attack range.
And time to run to the foothold.
‘it’s okay.’
Dojin reached a wide space where he could move relatively freely.
Although it was submerged up to the ankles, it was a much more stable position than running on ice.
‘Then shall we start a full-scale fight?’
Zrark’s pattern is simple.
Most attacks are aimed at forcing enemies out of the water, whether on a platform or on an ice path, into the water.
The enemy knows that if he throws them into the water, they are no longer ‘enemies’ but just ‘prey’.
‘If you don’t get dragged into the water, Zrark has two main attacks. Like he just did, he can jump and sweep you with his body.’
As a spirit, you can use water attacks.
As I was gathering my thoughts, I saw mana condensing deep in the water.
‘If it weren’t for the magic eye I received from the Grand Duke, it would have been a real headache to deal with.’
Zrark was a monster whose attacks were difficult to read.
Because their area of activity is deep underwater.
However, Dojin, who had gained the ability to see mana through “Enemy Night”, was able to clearly see the location of the spirit Zrark, who could be said to be a concentration of mana.
Even the way it draws mana towards its snout in preparation for an attack.
‘now!’
Dojin, who had measured the timing of charging and releasing, flew his body ahead.
At the same time, the water cannon fired by Zrark boasted tremendous water pressure and split the platform in two.
Phew.
Dojin didn’t even look back when he heard the water cannon aimed at him exploding loudly behind him.
‘Next is the time difference grenade attack.’
Because there was no room to divert attention.
Prepare your order.
Zrark jumps out of the water.
Avoid his attacks.
《Electric Shock》
Put a 1-star magic spell on the enemy that can be activated quickly.
It was a scene that fit together perfectly, as if they were filming an action scene after coordinating with each other.
-Kiuuuuu!
Zrark, who was exposed to an unexpected shock, fell back into the water, leaving behind a mysterious final word.
《Evil Spirit Creation》
During that time, Dojin summoned an evil spirit.
The location is near where Zrark crashed.
‘Zrark’s weakness is that its detection ability is simple.’
The most effective tactic when hunting such Zrark is the bait tactic.
If you lose consciousness even for a moment, you can use the characteristic of detecting and attacking the nearest moving object as soon as you regain consciousness.
As expected, Zrark, who had been frozen for a moment, stirred in the water and immediately turned his direction towards the evil spirit.
Based on instinct, you define a moving target as an enemy and prepare to attack.
“Then let me try putting a straw in it.”
Dojin’s magic circuit glowed golden as he watched the mass of mana sink to the bottom and then rise vertically at full speed.
The Book of Truth opens, drawing out the recorded magical power. A rapid circulation of mana that can cause dizziness for a moment.
《The Wedge of Exploitation》
What was ultimately completed was the unique magic of the Archmage who was no longer human.
-Kyaaaaah!
The evil spirit, sensing the approaching Zrark, swung its claws. At the same time, the evil spirit collided with Zrark and rose into the air.
With a single blow, the evil spirit was dispersed into black smoke. In return, Zrark was left suspended in the air for a considerable amount of time.
“Game over, fish.”
And a crimson wedge was stuck into the bastard.
“The Wedge of Exploitation” is not simply a magic that sucks the blood of the opponent.
As it is a magic belonging to the unique magic system of Prince Tyrund, who has risen to the ranks of the Archmage, it deals with concepts of a higher level.
So what is being exploited is ‘life’ itself, and the fundamental ‘mana’ that constitutes it.
In short, it is a fraudulent skill that can be used on not only living monsters but also inanimate monsters such as rocks and metal, and that steals both HP and MP.
‘Now it’s a time attack between us, what do you want to do?’
If you stall for time, Dojin will have an advantage.
But Zrark will instinctively know that, so he will attack even more violently.
‘You’re really freaking out.’
As expected.
Zrark’s movements reflected in Dojin’s eyes became rougher.
It feels like my swimming speed has become 1.5 times faster.
‘At this level, if you brush past it, you’ll die-‘
The moment of thinking.
Zrark was shot like a missile towards the surface.
pop-
It’s an optical illusion that makes it seem like it’s popping out before the water spray.
It was a rapid acceleration attack that used the spirit’s ability as a booster.
Still, thanks to having rolled in advance, I was able to avoid being hit by a fish the size of a mid-sized car.
