Kidnapped Dragons

se her blessing. 

“Ahh, thinking back, when Cadet Ling Ling was using her fire-attribute blessing, she did casually walk out of that.
No wonder!”

– How astonishing.

– She had been hiding that all the time?

– What the fk.
Does that mean she was bashing up Zhang Xueyan and Ling Ling like that without even using her blessing?

The Spider Queen’s second leg was soon cut off, but the boss didn’t remain still either.
The horrendous-looking mouth of the female body was dropped all the way to her chin, as it vomited out a crazy amount of poison. 

Yeorum shouted as she dodged it, while other cadets discarded the advantageous position they were in and scattered. 

It was the start of a dogfight.
The Queen jumped up and down with large thuds and stabbed the dungeon walls with her legs.
She also climbed the walls and continued attacking Yeorum.
Her movements were swifter than anyone had expected.

Meanwhile, she still vomited out poison and endlessly spewed out eggs.

Even the watchers were filled with nervousness.

“They have to be careful now! The human body attached to the Spider Queen’s body is not there for show!”

In an instant, a sharp ice lance was created on top of the Queen’s hand, before quickly heading for Yeorum.
Unable to dodge the unexpected magic spell, she raised her sword and destroyed the lance but crashed into the wall from the sheer force. 

– Ouuhh, damn!

– Her protective necklace is still there!

Petrovic once again shouted.

“She blocked it!”

Right when the ice lance was flying towards her, Yeorum had moved her mana to the edge of the blade in preparation for the strike.
That had happened in just 0.1 seconds!

Moving mana fluently inside the body in that short period of time is skilled enough already, and yet she had moved it outside her body?

To Petrovic who had only been interested in Yong Taeha, Tyr Brzenk and Zhou Luxun until now, it was a shocking situation.

‘Yu Yeorum!’

The name of the red-haired female cadet, whom he thought was only pretty, was etched into his brain. 

While Yeorum was readying herself for battle again, her teammates moved.

The three of them gathered and stood with a small opening in front of them.
Sophia used her blessing, [Refraction] to an exceptional degree.
She bent the trajectory of her rapier over and over again and blocked all the baby spiders that were jumping in at them.

SHOOT–! Her yell echoed through the dogfight.

With Sophia as a shield, Kim Ji-in and Soujiro screamed while shooting their gun and bow.

Stab–! The poisonous fangs of a baby spider landed on Sophia’s shoulder, but without hesitation, she used [Refraction] to change the path of her rapier and slashed the spider alongside a portion of her own shoulder. 

– Oh my gosh.

– Crazy, for real!

– Doesn’t it hurt?

Poison dripped from the spider and dropped on Soujiro who had been unable to dodge.
His clothes melted as the poison festered his leg.
Soujiro thus leaned on the wall as he continued shooting the arrows. 

“He lacks power and experience, but he is really fierce regardless!”

Kim Ji-in shortened the distance a bit more in order to snipe the boss, but was discovered by a spider and was kicked by it.
She crashed into the wall and bleeded from her lips.
If the shock had been slightly greater, her protective necklace might have been activated. 

However, the direction she was kicked in wasn’t bad because the boss was slightly closer to her now.
While bleeding from her mouth, Kim Ji-in placed her eye near the scope of the musket. 

She had changed to RT bullets.
It was an anti-monster armour-piercing bullet that was extremely effective at close range. 

Tang! Tang! Tang! Tang!

Her hands quivered.
She was extremely close to the boss and the magic bullets managed to destroy three of the boss’s eyes.

Kyuuaaak!

The human’s upper body went insane while holding onto her eyes.

“It landed perfectly! Perfect! Not only did she stay conscious after the kick, she was still in focus!”

– Iyaaaa!

– It’s crazy! Crazy!

– Woah tf!!!

Petrovic shouted.

“That would’ve put her life at risk if it was a real battle! Although the protective necklace does protect her life, is she not scared?”

Were there any cadets that went to such lengths for a mere assignment performance? In fact, it wasn’t just her.
The entirety of Yeorum’s team looked as if they were in a real battle.
Their auras cried out that they’ll sacrifice their flesh for the bones of the enemy.

Petrovic felt his blood boil for the first time in a very long time.

“Now, this is the most – most important situation! The boss has her eyes blocked! And her movements are slowed! The baby spiders will begin to act defensively to protect their mother now! How will they create a gap there! And how will they land a fatal blow?!”

As soon as his words came to an end, the baby spiders shot out spider webs from their bottoms and began covering their mother. 

Then, a bunch of sharp tentacles suddenly flew in towards Yeorum, but Sophia appeared out of nowhere in an instant, and used [Refraction] five times consecutively and used the rapier like a shield to block them all.

– She blocked it! The Russian blocked it!

– Damn it, using the blessing like that is bad for the heart though!?

“Thanks to her, Cadet Yeorum managed to save her own power! But now they must be prudent with how they use their remaining power!”

By nature, power was something that was consumed.

If she were to attack the baby spiders, it would take away from the power that would otherwise be used for the boss.
But the baby spiders were in the way, stopping her from attacking the boss directly.

There wasn’t much time.
The boss would recover soon.

“Cadet Yu Yeorum! What will she do!”

*

Yeorum closed her eyes.

She remembered walking hand in hand with Yu Jitae.

Back then, she asked why she had to walk.
Walking was hard, but so was anything that required her to move the body.
Wasn’t it better to practise something else in that case?

Yu Jitae replied, “In order to live, you must walk.” It was difficult for Yeorum to understand it, and in fact, she still found it hard to understand in full.

However, Yeorum trusted him.
Thanks to him, she was able to explosively increase her mastery over footwork which was one of the skills belonging to a dragon.

Yeorum opened her eyes.

With her quivering gaze, she could see white strings as tough as metal protecting the mother of spiders.
If she were to invest her power into dealing with that, she wouldn’t be able to deal a fatal blow to the broodmother. 

But,

If with just one step;

If one step was all it took for her to pierce through all the cobwebs and reach the Queen –

[Karl-Gullakwa Stand-up Martial Art]

Flames exploded beneath her feet.
It was the footwork of the Karl-Gullakwa race who lived on the ground in a distant past, that allowed them to shoot their bodies like missiles to fight the wyverns flying in the sky. 

[Spark]

Yeorum was enveloped in flames as bombs exploded under her feet.
With one step, Yeorum reached the other end of the boss room from one end.

All the spider webs that touched her body melted.
However, Yeorum’s mana and the flames blooming all over her body – the power embedded in her body wasn’t consumed.

She cut the head of the Spider Queen.
The detached head was set on fire.

Kwaaang–!!

Straight afterward, the body of the Spider Queen exploded.
