Chapter 55 Dungeon Practicum (5)
In Scandinavian Mythology, Odin had two ravensHuginn(thought) and Muninn(memory)by his side. He collected all kinds of knowledge from all over the nine realms with the two ravens, and he used that knowledge to rule over Asgard, the realm of the Aesir.
If the ravens mentioned by the Nornir System were the same as Odins ravens from mythology, they would be the god king Odins greatest servants.
In other words, they were JaeHyuns enemies.
JaeHyun considered it.
If that were the case, Chairman Gu Ja-In and Odins ravens
Did this mean there was some kind of link between them?
* * *
Everyone, duck!
At JaeHyuns hurried shout, his entire team immediately crouched.
Swish.! Crash!
The club tore through the air and hit the ground with a thud.
The Kobold Lord, which had finally appeared in front of them, was showing overwhelming strength.
The team quickly moved into battle formation and faced forward.
In such a hopeless situation, Inas face was the first to stiffen.
How is it still alive after getting hit by JaeHyuns attack? That Kobold Lord
She couldnt understand it.
A Kobold Lord was just a D-rank boss.
How could it get hit by such a powerful attack and still remain standing?
In addition, even if kobold-type monsters had recovery skills, they didnt have regeneration skills.
What the hell is happening?
Meanwhile, JaeHyun was thinking thoughts to Inas, and was trying to develop a new plan.
That Kobold Lord Its not a regular Kobold Lord. Between the overwhelming amount of mana flowing from him, as well as its regeneration ability Its already above C-rank. It might even be more powerful of an opponent than the Night Shade.
It was truly a terrifying situation.
JaeHyun checked his teams condition while biting his lip. Even though they were trembling in fear, they were thankfully still trying to maintain formation.
JaeHyun tsked as he spotted the Kobold Lord pulling its club out of the ground, where it had been stuck.
The monsters eyes were red and absolutely emotionless.
The unfocused pupils merely sent a shiver down the spine of those that stared into them.
Damn Theres no other way.
With no other choice, JaeHyun shouted orders towards his team.
Everyone, listen carefully! While I hold that bastard off, run back to the entrance of the dungeon! Quickly!
What?! What the fuck are you talking about?!
No way! You want to take on that insane boss mob by yourself? Thats impossible!
Its too dangerous alone.
Even Ina, who had barely spoken since entering the dungeon, agreed.
JaeHyun clenched his fist as he ground his teeth, at a loss of what to do.
There was nothing wrong with what they said.
It only meant that the probability of JaeHyun getting hurt when dealing with the Kobold Lord was lower, but it was obvious that it was much easier for several people to defeat the monsters.
But their levels and physiques were quite different from JaeHyuns.
Although they were cadets at an elite academy, they were still rookies. If they were hit by that kind of attack, Ina might survive, but the other two would die instantly.
Damn.
In addition, the kobolds rushing in were a big problem.
No matter how weak they were, with that many of them, taking care of all of them at the same time was impossible.
Roooaaaarrrr!!
The Kobold Lord stood with its club in hand and hit the ground forcefully with its club.
Boooooom!
At the same time, cracks started to appear as the ground was destroyed once again.
The team's formation was broken, and the Kobold Lords attack quickly continued.
It was a natural continuation, as if the movements were planned in advance.
JaeHyun got goosebumps all over.
Does Gu Ja-In have the ability to control monsters, by any chance?
If not, the current situation shouldnt have been possible.
Of course, there were monsters with some level of intelligence. But was there a monster in the world that could plan and move like that?
No. In the end, there werent any.
JaeHyun shouted one more time.
Run away, quickly! Right now! Youll die if you get hit even once
No!

JaeHyun and Ina were struggling against the three powerful swings that came, one after the other.
The way the Kobold Lord was freely swinging his club was very surprising. The attacks arched through the air like bows, maintaining a lot of force while still being fast. There was no opening.
You should already know
Are you asking me to cover you from behind?
Please.
Even without talking, the two had already quickly formulated a plan.
JaeHyun concentrated, so he could read the movements of the Kobold Lord.
Hup!
Kicking the ground with a shout, he shot towards the monster again. He moved so quickly that it was enough to make one wonder if he had suddenly disappeared.
Unfortunately, the monster was swinging the club very fast as well.
Crash!
While flying away, JaeHyun gathered his mana and parried the attack with a shield.
One hit. Just one hit is pretty powerful. All I have to do is change the trajectory.
It was indeed a terrifying level of physical strength.
What the hell was going on?
That monster was clearly beyond the limits of a Kobold Lord. It was already more than a C-rank, almost reaching B-rank. No matter how many secrets Gu Ja-In had, this was crossing the line.
To attack cadets by using monsters in a place that trained raiders to kill monsters
I have no choice but to go full out here. But Im still not sure Ill win. Theres no other way.
JaeHyun covered his whole body with mana and released it in a line. Thin threads of light colored their surroundings blue as it carved up the area.
At the same time, several chains poured out of the ground and ceiling.
The Active Skill Lightning Chain has been activated.
Bzzzzzz!
As the chains clanged against each other, JaeHyun covered himself in lightning.
Its just a monster thats borrowing a Kobold Lords form But that doesnt mean its unbeatable.
JaeHyun had been observing its body closely and had come up with a solution.
The body of the Kobold Lord is melting, little by little. Its probably because its body cant handle that overwhelming mana. And yet, that bastard is still continuously attacking, even as its body breaks down. That means
A slight smile spread on JaeHyuns face.
That means that theres something hiding nearby that is continuously injecting it with mana.
And that meant that, if he got rid of that source of mana, the Kobold Lords regeneration ability would stop.
It would die.
Roooaaaarrrrr.!!
As the chains rushed forward and wrapped around it, the Kobold Lord resisted. Chains broke and fell to the ground with a dull sound.
JaeHyun just watched and continued to pour mana into the spell.
Odins raven, huh?
A moment ago, the system told him that Odins raven was behind the monster.
Odin, the Aesir, and those against them.
He thought he could finally understand a little.
There were still a lot of things that were unclear, but one thing was certain.
Im a thorn in Odins side, and I have to kill that bastard.
JaeHyun smirked.
Leaving the Kobold Lord behind him, even as it began to move freely, he began to attack the mob.
The lightning chains sprinkled blood everywhere as they pierced through the Kobolds surprisingly fragile bodies.
The reason that JaeHyun purposefully hunted the regular monsters instead of the boss was simple.
It was because of the clear alert that rang out in the next moment.
You have killed a Kobold.
You have gained 1 level.
You are currently Level 30.
You have a new item that you can equip.
JaeHyuns face was filled with delight.
Equip.
You have equipped the weapon Mistilteinn.
Mistilteinn was the item he had gotten at the department store the day he met HoYeon. It was a growth-type item that he couldnt equip at the time because his level was too low.
It was the last ace JaeHyun had hidden up his sleeve.
Odins raven I dont know where youre hiding, but
Due to having Mistilteinn equipped, the users field of vision has been expanded.
You can read your opponents movements more clearly.
The Active skill Mana Perception has been acquired.
A golden hue colored JaeHyun's eyes and his view expanded.
Im definitely going to kill you.
Roooaaaarrrrr.!!
In the next moment, the Kobold Lord broke the remaining chains and rushed towards JaeHyun.
