9th Circle Lord

27 #27화 9 Circle 2

Three people are lying asleep side by side on the sunny floor.

Kiara, who was snooping around, poked Dolken's cheek with a distorted face.

Dolken, who was frowning as if he had a nightmare, groaned low at the outside touch.

Surprised, Kiara ran toward Luther.

Kiara, who pulled the collar urgently, pointed to Dolken.

"It hurts! It hurts!"

It was Kiara, who has become somewhat proficient in communication.

Luther calmed down the embarrassed Kiara.

"It doesn't hurt. You'll be fine when you wake up."

"Are you all right?"

"Yes."

With a nod, Luther looked carefully at Kiara. The mental shock has gone quite far over time, and the cheeks have dried up.

I think you eat well.’

My chubby body has become thinner.

'Is it because of the disappearance of the contaminated?

The real concern was Kiara. Since we don't know the cause, there's no way we can get an answer. He resumed the conversation, which had been paused, thinking that he should keep an eye on it.

In front of him stood Jacques, the last turn.

said Luther.

"Be an archer."

"Yes."

He answered but looked puzzled.

Elena was Lafier, Dolken was Battle Axe, and Kane was Longsod.

But he received a bow.

Luther's explanation was followed by his questioning.

"You have the best conditions to be an archer. The body is less shaky and breathing is heavy and long. Muscle strength is also impeccable and cautious, so it's perfect for dealing with a bow."

It was an encouraging assessment, but Jacques thought it was difficult in his current situation.

"I'm one-eyed now."

Eyes are of great importance to the archer.

But he doesn't have a single eye.

There is no law not to do archery with one eye, but it is difficult to distinguish the perspective easily without one eye.

The target cannot be accurately hit because the distance measurement is not possible.

Due to Zach's concerns, Luther pointed to the direction they had to go.

If you keep going north, you'll find a desert. And before we go to the desert, there is a habitat for flying monsters."

It was Wyvern, to be exact, and has the title of the Desert Gatekeeper.

It is called the subspecies of the dragon and has excellent eyesight, so you can also observe ants passing through the sky.

It was a figurative expression, but Wyvern is absolute, given the reason why mankind has not crossed the desert so far.

It is said that the number is high, and it is too strong to handle, and the target once captured is so persistent that it never misses it.

Everyone was a reluctant monster, but Luther was different.

He became confident that he could handle Wyvern, so he would head straight to the desert.

"The flying monster will give you new eyes."

Zach opened his mouth without realizing it.

"Is that possible?"

Luther's eyes deepened.

"Do I still look like an ordinary wizard?"

Of course not.

A shameless Zach bowed his head.

"Then please."

Luther was a man of incredible ability, and he always did more than he could have seen.

So what he says is always believed and followed. 

Soon the pain-stricken technique began, but Zach was engulfed in other thoughts.

Now Monster's will run in his empty eyehole. I was very curious about what would happen.

There was a wind of training in the party.

Everyone was busy learning the newly learned technique and swordsmanship.

The achievement was fast.

In less than a month, it reached the beginning of the expansion from Beginner.

Usually, prosecutors must train steadily for at least five years to enter the Expert from Beginer.

The group's rapid growth was attributed to Luther's body shower.

In a way, it was natural that the growth was fast because he had a clean body like a newborn child and even cleaned up the foundation of Mana.

The wind of training blew on Luther, too. Recently, however, there has been a change in his mind. 

Luther's forehead, which finished Manna's experience, narrowed.

'There's a wall.’

The eight-circle range was predictable anyway. In addition, it was based on much better Manna experience.

Manna's seniority, which he invented, mixed the mysteries of mental and physical training.

I expected rapid growth, and I knew that it would be eight circles this quickly. But that's it.

Manas haven't gathered since 8 circles. If you collect manas, you will pour them into a pot full of water.

It means he's hit the limit, but Luther couldn't accept it.

"I also changed my skills to become a nine-circle player. And you can't do that? What the hell is the reason?'It was a much more advantageous position than Alsen Ratterburn's. Young bodies, outstanding manna skills, and rich experience.

There's nothing lacking, but I don't understand why I'm blocked by nine circles.

'Nine circles are truly an impossible achievement for humans.'

No matter how hard I try, I can't reach it.

He was not the only one frustrated.

After completing his training, Luther turned his head to the side of the demon.

"Are you sleeping again?”

"You've been sleeping lately."

"Don't you think growth is very slow? It's been a while since we've been together, but it hasn't changed much from when we first met, has it? I've rather lost weight."

The chubby body became thinner.

Elena didn't say much.

"I think it's proof of growing up. Come on, babies lose baby fat when they grow up.”

"Is that so? Is it because you're a baby that sleeps long?"

"Babies usually sleep a lot."

During Elena and Dolken's conversation, Kiara, who was tossing and turning, opened her eyes.

I'm still sleepy, so I blink with dreamy eyes.

Elena's smile hung around her mouth to see if she looked pretty.

"Kiara, are you up?”

Kiara, who was staring at her, looked around her head.

"Lu……ter."

Luther managed to hear the faint call and came close.

Kiara stretched her arm.

Luther reached out his hand.

Kiara's eyes, which are fiddling with his fingers, are crescent.

"Hehe."

Kiara, who was smiling brightly, soon closes her eyes and falls asleep again.

Dolken said next to him.

"You really sleep a lot.”

"I know. I've been sleeping all day lately. I think this is too much.”

Elena, who was muttering, was startled.

Luther's look at Kiara was serious.

His eyes were fierce as if he were an enemy in front of him.

She asked carefully.

"Hey…. Mr. Luther, are you all right?"

Luther didn't answer.

Then, a huge monster appeared in the forest and screamed.

Crying!

Kane, who was watching the forest, shouted urgently.

"Bechimos appeared before you!"

It was a giant monster with a huge sheep's horn on his head in the form of a hideous dog.

The magnificent size, which is nearly 20 meters long, cannot be adapted no matter how much you look at it.

No matter how steep the growth is, it is not possible for an Expert to deal with Behimos.

Of course, Luther should step up.

When everyone looked at Luther, he was already flying toward Behimos. Behimos burst into a roar toward the approaching Luther.

Crying!

Despite the overflowing livelihood, the party remained calm.

Dolken murmured.

"You're going to fall down again."

Throughout his journey, Luther pursues an efficient battle.

First, you fall over and use the wind to break your body into two. If you drag the battle for a long time and make a fuss, other monsters can flock, so you can breathe as quickly and concisely as possible. It minimizes the slowness of the group's journey like that way.

There is no exaggeration by revealing one's power, and there is no superiority.

Just deal with monsters when they appear. It has been a hunting method that Luther has maintained.

But today was different.

"Huh?"

Dolken's mouth was filled with questions.

Behimos didn't fall.

Nevertheless, Luther did not stop flying toward Behimos.

"Whee, isn't that dangerous?"

Worry was brief.

Luther raised his arm.

It wasn't long before a huge dark brown rock appeared in his hand.

Magic Stone Hand.

Luther, who operated a larger chunk of rock than Behimos, threw it toward the front.

Yay! Yay! Yay!

With a huge explosion, Behimos rolled the floor in shock.

Luther, who appeared on it, hit a rock fist.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The fallen Bechimos is crushed by Luther's punching.

The group looked at Luther with astonishment. It was nothing like a neat hunt so far.

Besides, I think he's already dead, but he won't stop punching.

The earth shook and awakened the monster who was asleep in the forest.

Various monsters appeared from the towering beautiful tree.

Bechimos, Basilisk, Busser Bear, Cyclops, etc.

In addition, an unfamiliar monster who has never appeared in the drawing appeared.

The party turned pale.

"Lou, Luther!"  

Did she at least listen to Elena's urgent call? Luther, who was watching the monsters appearing coldly, raised his arms.

At the same time, the red air was fluttering around his body. 

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The party was stunned by the huge fireball that appeared with a huge roar.There was a flame as if another sun had descended on the ground.

The surrounding vegetation was blazing, and the monster roared.

Magic Hellfire.

At one time, the eight-circle magic that terrorized the continent revealed itself.

Luther sent a magnificent fireball down to the floor.

Whoo-hoo!

When Hellfire descended on the ground, everything burned.

Crazy!

Monsters screaming melted away without leaving any shape in the fire, and all the surrounding mountain vegetation disappeared.

Ring ring!

Horrible flames swept everywhere, but the group at the scene avoided.

Their expressions, including Dolken, turned blue.

I usually thought he was strong, but when I encountered the real power that I couldn't measure, my whole body trembled in awe.

The only place that Hellfire swept was the ashes.

Not long ago, it was a dense forest like a jungle, so everything seemed to be a lie.

By the time Luther returned to the cart, the burning smoke had risen to the sky and brought in rain clouds.

Shoot! Shoot!

There is a shower and the ground cools. 

Luther left the surprised party behind and looked at Kiara.

Perhaps because I was hit by cold raindrops, my body trembled intermittently.

Luther took off the robe and wrapped it around Kiara. He murmured inside.

'I'm pissed off.'

There's nothing going on at will.

Neither the entry into the nine circles nor the cause of Kiara's death.

She was incompetent even though she was an eight-circle player.

His look at Kiara is very disturbing.

When the group saw the serious Luther, they realized that Kiara had a problem with her.
