Episode 43
Episode 43: It’s Just Visible, Right? (2)
Hanalin and Jiyuchan, understanding that venting their frustration here would only hurt themselves, refrained from further complaint and swiftly devised their own methods.
More precisely, they sharpened their senses to perceive with greater acuity.
It wasn’t long before both of them proved that receiving an S-rank trait hadn’t been for nothing—their abilities began to manifest.
“Phew. If I spread mana like I’m using mana detection, I can make out the rough outlines.”
“Haa. When I manipulate mana to sharpen my senses, I can perceive things to some degree.”
Hanalin handled the situation by spreading mana around her like mana detection to grasp objects, while Jiyuchan honed his senses to their limits, drawing upon every sense except sight.
Both methods were possible only because they had already transcended humanity.
Watching the two of them, Dohyun realized it wasn’t just him who could do this, and he spoke again with blunt candor.
“What. Both of you can do it.”
“….”
“….”
Though it wasn’t quite like echolocation, they had ended up succeeding by following Dohyun’s actual method, leaving them with nothing more to say.
Hanalin and Jiyuchan squeezed their sightless eyes shut and endured as best they could.
Besides, understanding what kind of Dungeon this was took priority.
Hanalin, capable of broader-range exploration than Jiyuchan, broached the subject first.
“Since I don’t sense any Monsters in particular, it doesn’t seem to be an annihilation-type. And since there’s no object that needs protecting—something that should be present the moment we enter a normal Dungeon—it doesn’t seem to be a defense-type either.”
Dohyun was somewhat impressed by Hanalin’s analysis.
The fact that she could make such deductions from minimal clues—truly, she was a Mage.
Jiyuchan, whose detection range was narrower, couldn’t engage in such reasoning, but he had perfect awareness within his own range.
And Dohyun, who could see everything, spoke to inform the both of them.
“There’s a Monster about three meters tall waiting at the end of the Passage ahead—it seems to be a boss-type Dungeon.”
“Haa. Of all things, a boss-type.”
“Hmm, a boss-type Dungeon as a drawback of visual obstruction—our luck is truly abysmal.”
“But boss-type Dungeons offer the best rewards, so isn’t that actually good?”
Watching the two of them whimper slightly, Dohyun spoke positively, and both reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Boss-type Dungeons did offer the best rewards. However, the situation was ambiguous enough that it was unclear whether they should welcome this or not, so both expressed their reservations. Then Dohyun spoke to them.
“I’ll give the orders, so do your best to focus and execute them.”
“Understood.”
“We can’t afford to die here.”
Though both responded with a sense of resignation, their reply carried considerable enthusiasm and vigor for something said in such a frame of mind.
As Jiyuchan said, they couldn’t afford to die in a place like this.
Dohyun smiled like a mischievous child at the sight of them, then took the lead into the Passage.
With Dohyun at the front, seeing as clearly as if his eyes worked perfectly, Jiyuchan followed behind him, and Hanalin brought up the rear.
After traversing the long Passage and reaching its end, they entered a considerably spacious Chamber.
Though its purpose remained unclear, it was shaped like the center of a Colosseum with the sky completely open above—a tall cylindrical space as if they had entered inside The Tower.
With a diameter of roughly fifty meters, it was more than spacious enough for combat, and in the center of that space, something massive lay curled up as if sleeping.
“Sniff sniff, grrrrrr.”
Befitting its enormous body, it sniffed loudly through two massive nostrils, then looked around before turning its head directly toward where Dohyun stood, and I found myself face to face with the creature.
The wolf-like Monster, boasting a long snout alongside a black and ashen nose with a hint of red, and luxuriant fur tinged with gray and crimson, thrust its snout forward once more, revealing its face.
Its two eye sockets, scarred beyond count, gaped hollowly, with countless scars trailing down from them.
So this was the Blind Guide.
Was it also blind itself?
Dohyun, observing both that thought and the creature’s sniffing behavior, shouted urgently.
“Move! Jiyuchan left! Hanalin right!”
Despite the urgency of his cry, his pronunciation and intonation were precise, allowing Jiyuchan and Hanalin to respond immediately and swiftly vacate their positions.
Jiyuchan, despite sensing nothing, heeded only Dohyun’s command, drawing upon his mana control to push off the Ground swiftly and slide away, while Hanalin, compensating for her lacking physical prowess with the power of wind and telekinesis, yanked herself from that spot as if uprooting a plant, evading to the right.
As the two escaped, Dohyun simultaneously leaped into Midair and activated concealment, suppressing his presence as much as possible.
The Blind Guide then opened its long snout, revealing teeth sharp as saw blades, and bit down ferociously at the spot where Hanalin and Jiyuchan had just been standing.
Craaash——
Crunch-crunch-crunch———
The sound of stone itself being ground away echoed through the space, and both Hanalin and Jiyuchan felt their spines chill.
Had they been caught by such an attack, there would be no doubt—instant death.
Feeling that, both of them poured their full concentration into combat.
As they channeled their focus like never before, Dohyun, suspended in Midair, employed telekinetic magic as Hanalin did to levitate his body, and simultaneously using the Midair itself as a stepping stone, he shot forward like an arrow toward the Blind Guide, which was still gnawing at the Wall, confused by what had occurred.
Whoooosh———
Pushing off the telekinetic platform created in Midair, Dohyun shot forward like an arrow while coating his entire body with Sharpness magic, gripping his long greatsword, and attempted to pierce the Blind Guide like a true arrow, not merely a metaphor.
However, the moment Dohyun’s concealment broke, the Blind Guide sensed something hurtling toward it by smell alone, then curled its body and rolled away, evading that spot.
Whoosh—————
Dohyun’s body became a single arrow in flight, and the Wall it touched was cleanly sliced, leaving a long gash, but the Blind Guide had already escaped that location.
It was a powerful strike, yet Dohyun paid it no mind and shouted, infusing his voice with mana.
“Jiyuchan! Your left!”
“Got it.”
With Dohyun’s cry, as the Blind Guide—which had evaded Dohyun’s attack by curling its body like a ball—passed beside Jiyuchan, Jiyuchan heard Dohyun’s order and pushed both his mana control and swordsmanship to their limits, infusing mana into both his body and blade.
With all his might, the mana-infused sword left a blue arc across the Midair, swinging toward the Blind Guide like a long line.
Then came the sound.
Slash———!
Though he clearly heard the sound of a cut, Jiyuchan felt the sensation at his fingertips and cried out.
“Shallow!”
“Evade!”
Though he had definitely cut it, the sensation at his fingertips indicated the wound was shallow.
Indeed, the amount of blood spraying from Jiyuchan’s sense was quite minimal, so immediately after slashing the creature, Jiyuchan swiftly withdrew from that spot as Dohyun commanded.
Then the Blind Guide, now wounded, let out a scream.
“Grrrraaaaahhh!!!”
A cry closer to a roar than a scream born of pain.
And immediately after, it thrust its saw-blade teeth toward the spot where Jiyuchan had just been, biting the Ground itself to shreds.
Crunch—
Crunch-crunch——!
Crunch-crunch———!
Stones ground between the Blind Guide’s jaws, sending fragments scattering in all directions. It abandoned its attempt to track by scent and unleashed a low, rumbling growl that reverberated through the space.
Dohyun, wielding ultrasonic waves, immediately countered by projecting his own ultrasonic burst toward that cry, disrupting the creature’s ability to locate them.
The Blind Guide froze, suddenly deprived of one sense, and Dohyun continued to assault its hearing with successive ultrasonic waves as he shouted.
“Hanalin, from where you’re standing—nine o’clock!”
“Got it! Going!”
Hanalin responded instantly and swiftly unleashed the Stone Spear she’d used against the Stone Wizard before.
But this time, it was considerably more massive.
Rather than summoning multiple spears, she conjured a single, colossal Stone Spear in midair.
She didn’t stop there—she layered Sharpness magic upon it, honing the stone lance to an edge sharper than ever before.
As the enormous stone shaft gleamed with razor-sharp precision, she simultaneously wove telekinesis and wind magic into the spear, setting it into a high-speed rotation.
Shhhhiiiing———!
The sound of the rapidly spinning shaft echoed throughout the entire chamber as the spear plummeted downward.
The rotational force carved through the air faster than anything imaginable, while the propulsive power drove it forward like a cannon shell—a massive bullet hurtling toward the Blind Guide with devastating velocity.
Booooom———!!!
The spear descended like a colossal meteor, yet the Blind Guide managed to twist its body just enough to avoid a fatal wound.
However.
Drip, drip.
The gaping hole through its flank was as enormous as its body, and the blood pouring from that cavernous wound defied all conventional understanding of living creatures.
As the creature’s blood began spreading throughout the chamber, the Blind Guide finally sensed its prey’s scent clearly and turned its head toward Jiyuchan, who stood not far away.
And Jiyuchan found himself face to face with the monster’s gaze.
Though he couldn’t see it, he felt it unmistakably.
“!!!”
Like prey before a predator, Jiyuchan became paralyzed, unable to move, and struggled to regain his composure—but it was futile.
A technique that froze the body, making escape impossible even when the mind screamed to flee.
He recognized it as the mana pressure he’d endured countless times from his instructors and tried to break free, but he lacked the strength.
Just as the Blind Guide opened its maw toward Jiyuchan, Dohyun released one of his spells—one he’d concealed with invisibility.
The moment the spell moved to strike, it revealed itself, and though the eyeless Blind Guide couldn’t see it, it felt the attack clearly.
Shhhhiiiiing———!
The same high-speed rotating stone spear that Hanalin had just unleashed materialized before it.
No—this one spun with even more ferocious velocity, and as the Blind Guide saw the stone shaft hurtling toward it, it bared its saw-like teeth and bit down hard on the incoming spear with all its might.
Craaaaaash———!!
Craaaaaunch———!!
The stone spear rotated with relentless fury while the Blind Guide bit down with all its strength, its saw-like teeth grinding against the spinning shaft.
But then.
Crack———!
With the sound of something sharp shattering, the Blind Guide’s teeth shattered into fragments, and the still-spinning stone spear drove straight through its mouth.
Crunch———!!
With that brief, decisive sound, a massive hole tore through the creature’s throat, and the spear pierced clean through its body.
The Blind Guide, impaled from mouth to tail, could no longer endure—its body crumbled to dust and vanished.
“Huff, huff.”
“…Haaa.”
“Haha, we won.”
The battle, though not lengthy, had been intense while it lasted, and as it concluded, Dohyun’s Party felt their vision return in an instant.
Along with the sensation that we had truly won, a Treasure Chest materialized where the Blind Guide had fallen.
Now came the time for our reward.
