Chapter 30
Chapter 30: Safe Zone Muel (2)
The magical circle that appeared was not just one.
Geometric figures gleaming in ochre light filled the space—multiple magical circles.
Judging by their forms, they were not of various types of magic.
Moreover, Dohyun could identify exactly what magic they were the moment he saw them.
[You have analyzed Hanalin’s skill 「Elementary Elemental Magic: Stone Spear [E]」.]
[You have successfully analyzed the skill 「Elementary Elemental Magic: Stone Spear [E]」.]
[You acquire 50 AP.]
[This skill is below the standard threshold.]
[You acquire the skill without consuming 『AP (Analysis Points)』.]
[You acquire the skill 「Elementary Elemental Magic: Stone Spear [E]」.]
[You can no longer increase your magical power by analyzing 『E-rank』 skills.]
Of course, it was the power of Analysis.
Though I quickly grasped Hanalin’s magic upon seeing it, there remained a question in my mind.
‘Stone Spear alone shouldn’t be able to pierce through the Stone Lizard’s hardened exterior, should it?’
Since I had already learned everything about both the Stone Lizard and Stone Spear, I could naturally discern this.
Stone Spear alone would be insufficient to breach the Stone Lizard’s outer carapace.
Though it was merely an F-rank monster, hardening was a skill with excellent cost-effectiveness, and Stone Spear was magic that favored impact points over penetration.
Therefore, piercing through the outer carapace and hardening, which possessed considerable resistance to blunt force, would be difficult. Above all, I thought Hanalin couldn’t possibly be unaware of this, so I watched her with eyes of slight anticipation, wondering what she would do.
Then, from the magical circle, stone spears bloomed into existence.
Though their tips were pointed, five spears appeared in midair, their penetrating power clearly inferior compared to real spears.
However, Hanalin’s magic did not end there.
New magical circles were drawn upon the five spears floating in midair, and when colorless, translucent magical circles unfolded this time, I could immediately discern Hanalin’s intention.
[You have analyzed Hanalin’s skill 「Elementary General Magic: Sharpness [E]」.]
[You have successfully analyzed the skill 「Elementary General Magic: Sharpness [E]」.]
[You acquire 50 AP.]
[This skill is below the standard threshold.]
[You acquire the skill without consuming 『AP (Analysis Points)』.]
[You acquire the skill 「Elementary General Magic: Sharpness [E]」.]
[You can no longer increase your magical power by analyzing 『E-rank』 skills.]
Elementary General Magic: Sharpness.
Upon realizing it was a general magic that made objects more acute and razor-sharp, I could only nod in acknowledgment.
The moment I approved, the five spears descended from midair toward the five Stone Lizards rushing forward.
Due to the Stone Lizards’ body structure, they could not look upward, so they failed to detect the Stone Spears plummeting from the sky like hawks, and soon the rapidly falling spears drove downward into them.
Whoooosh——
Splurch——!
Stone spears impaled the heads of five Stone Lizards at once, and so sharp were they that they pierced clean through the creatures’ skulls, embedding themselves so deeply into the ground that barely any shaft remained visible. The Stone Lizards had no choice but to perish instantly.
Having instantly killed more than half of the ten monsters with her magic, Hanalin smiled with pride, and at her display, the Guide Party members were startled.
“This… this can’t be.”
“Stone Lizards…”
“….”
Weren’t they the Guide Party that hunted frequently in this area?
And yet they had just instantly killed five of the Stone Lizards—the most difficult creatures to catch in this vicinity—in a single strike.
I couldn’t help but be astonished.
Even Cheonseongmin had been rendered speechless.
It would take them at least thirty minutes to capture five Stone Lizards, so the gap in our abilities was painfully evident.
As all three of us fell silent, unable to even comprehend the magnitude of the difference, Jiyuchan stepped forward.
Normally, one would either marvel at or shrink back from Hanalin’s magic, but Jiyuchan did neither.
Instead, he wore an expression of considerable irritation, drew his sword, and dashed forward with explosive speed.
“No, wait!!”
“Stone Lizards have devastating piercing power…!!”
“S-stop him!!”
Seeing Jiyuchan suddenly charge forward, Bangyuri, the fastest rogue among the Guide Party, rushed to stop him, but it was futile.
“W-what kind of speed is that…!!!”
Even though Bangyuri had become a Hunter half a year earlier, she couldn’t even catch the shadow of Jiyuchan, who had left the facility early after merely a week.
His speed was so extraordinary that he shot forward even faster than the Stone Lizards themselves, and as he charged, he had already drawn his sword and applied both mana control and swordsmanship to maximize his physical strength before unleashing a devastating slash.
No matter how talented they were, they had only just entered.
I had judged that it would be difficult to pierce the outer shell of a Stone Lizard—which boasted the highest defense among F-rank monsters—with a mere sword.
Magic could achieve such feats through various auxiliary means, but a sword simply couldn’t.
That’s why I had tried to stop him, but before I could intervene, Bangyuri chased after him while imagining the worst.
She pictured Jiyuchan’s attack bouncing off the Stone Lizard’s outer shell like a dump truck crashing into a wall.
Yet when he reached the Stone Lizard, contrary to her fears, his blade moved with fluid elegance, cleaving through the creature’s head as if cutting through tofu.
Crunch———
Whoosh———!
As he kicked off the ground, it exploded like a detonation, and his body defied inertia, reaching the front of a Stone Lizard that had been running diagonally. With another swing of his blade, he severed its head with the same effortless grace.
Crunch—
His strikes were so concise and clean that they seemed to draw lines through empty air itself.
Ji Yu-chan moved back and forth towards the three remaining stone lizards that followed him, and was able to move his sword like the letter ‘ㄹ’ and connect his sword towards the heads of the five stone lizards.
And the result.
Slice———
His blade rippled with blue light as it drew a line through the air, and the Stone Lizards’ heads that met that line fell belatedly, their bodies crumbling to dust and scattering.
Like Hanalin, Jiyuchan had severed all five creatures in what could only be described as simultaneous strikes.
The ten Stone Lizards that had existed moments before were now nowhere to be found.
“W-what is this….”
“N-no, wait, you can do that with a sword…??”
“I-I have no idea either.”
Han Yujin spoke, and Cheonseongmin, the warrior, answered.
Watching Hanalin and Jiyuchan accomplish something he could never do so effortlessly, he couldn’t find the words.
The Guide Party was utterly bewildered.
With ten monsters appearing, they had only intended to lend support.
Yet only two of them—not all three—had stepped forward and defeated all ten, leaving Cheonseongmin in a state of bewildered awe, unsure what to even say.
‘This is insane. Seriously.’
When the Association spoke of geniuses, he’d honestly wondered how much difference there could really be.
He’d assumed it merely meant the Association valued them and wanted them treated well.
But that wasn’t it at all.
After more than half a year of hunting in Safe Zone Muel, I’d never encountered people like this.
I prided myself on having seen quite a few talented individuals, but monsters of this caliber—true monsters—I was seeing for the first time.
As Cheonseongmin swallowed hard,
Dohyun grinned and spoke.
“I’ll handle the next one.”
The sudden declaration startled Cheonseongmin, who turned to look at Dohyun.
Wondering if Dohyun meant he’d face the next monster that appeared, Cheonseongmin looked toward him, and before long, he could see dust rising in the distance—so far away it was barely visible to the naked eye.
Could he really be sensing things from such a distance?
Cheonseongmin looked at Dohyun with a sense of disbelief.
He’d heard from the Association several times that Dohyun was called unprecedented even compared to the previous two, so he wondered what Dohyun would truly demonstrate. In that very moment,
the Stone Lizards were already closing in rapidly.
Wondering if Dohyun would really step forward alone, Cheonseongmin glanced at Hanalin and Jiyuchan. Hanalin, without even looking, was fidgeting with her magic staff as if it were obvious, while Jiyuchan had returned to his position, sheathed his sword, and was watching Dohyun and the Stone Lizards with focused, unwavering eyes.
As if determined not to miss a single moment.
Gulp.
Seeing the two of them, Cheonseongmin indirectly sensed that Dohyun was no ordinary fighter. His gaze turned toward Dohyun of its own accord, and Dohyun grinned before snapping his fingers.
Snap—!
The snap rang out, and in that instant, Dohyun shot forward like an arrow.
His mana control was so swift that one couldn’t even sense when he’d activated his mana manipulation technique, coupled with an astounding grasp of mana. Yet what was even more remarkable was how Dohyun perfectly controlled his body, enhanced to its absolute limits.
Boom——
If Jiyuchan’s strike on the ground created an explosion like a grenade detonating, Dohyun’s strike produced an explosion like an anti-tank mine erupting, flipping the earth itself as he was propelled forward at corresponding speed.
Before Cheonseongmin could even gasp at the velocity—double that of Jiyuchan—Dohyun had already reached a Stone Lizard and swung his dagger, which erupted with astonishing radiance.
Hadn’t someone once said it?
That speed itself becomes power.
Yet when power and mana were layered upon that speed, the small dagger unleashed a crescent-moon-shaped blade aura of tremendous scale, and three Stone Lizards standing in a line were severed in a single stroke—not just their heads, but their entire bodies.
But it didn’t end there. Dohyun moved again toward two more Stone Lizards standing in formation, this time sheathing his dagger and drawing a longsword to swing. A similar blade strike erupted forth, yet it was different.
Instead of the thin crescent-shaped slash from before, he swung once in a grand arc, and a full-moon-like blade aura spread outward, spinning in a circle as it severed two Stone Lizards simultaneously.
“….”
“….”
“….”
Before the Guide Party could even react, Stone Spears descended upon the remaining Stone Lizards’ heads, and just as Hanalin had done, Dohyun utilized Sharpness as well, honing the edges to pierce through their skulls and embed themselves deep into the earth.
Dohyun watched this with a satisfied smile and murmured,
“That should be good enough, right?”
At those words, all the Guide Party members stared at him as if they might faint, and they observed the reactions of Hanalin and Jiyuchan.
Honestly, the display had been so overwhelming that he wondered what their responses would be.
However.
“Hah, you’ve already mastered that?”
“Tsk, how on earth does he draw that sword technique?”
Hanalin and Jiyuchan, already accustomed to such displays, shook their heads while muttering to themselves.
The Guide Party could only click their tongues and swallow hard at their performance.
And they thought.
‘…The Association wasn’t exaggerating after all.’
While the Guide Party harbored such thoughts, Dohyun smiled with satisfaction as he read the message that appeared before him.
[Your party has defeated a total of 20 『Stone Lizards』.
[You have acquired a total of 400P.]
[You have acquired a total of 400AP.]
And.
‘I haven’t felt that gaze since leaving the village?’
The sensation I’d felt ever since first entering the Black Gate was no longer detected, so I didn’t think much of it.
But the moment I returned to Safe Zone Muel after finishing the hunt, that gaze clung to me once more.
Even after returning to the Dormitory, the gaze that refused to fade made me furrow my brow as I covertly glanced to one side.
Then.

‘Again?’
The identity of the gaze that had been watching us since I first entered the Black Gate.
Just to be safe, I quietly learned a new skill while observing them.
It seems they underestimated me.
‘I can’t just sit idle about this.’
