Basic Attack Magic
The gate clearing was smooth.
The monsters that came out were all just rock insects of different sizes.
And thanks to the party members with plenty of real combat experience, there were no variables at all.
So the party quickly cleared the gate.
[“Is it the boss already?”]
“It seems so.”
[“Oh, then when this is over, we're going home?”]
“Wouldn't that be the case?”
I looked at the huge stone door that appeared in front of me and said.
The flashy door looked like it was advertising ‘There’s a boss here’.
And the peculiar mana felt from inside the door.
It was releasing mana different from the regular rock insects.
“Uncle Tae-san, this is obviously the boss room, right?”
“Yeah, probably.”
Kang Tae-san, who had the boss room in front of him, lowered the axe he was holding and said.
“Everyone, take a short break and let's enter the boss room.”
“Yaaawn, yeah. I'll call when we start...”
“Ucha, I need to rest too.”
The party members sat down on the floor roughly after hearing Kang Tae-san's words.
Everyone was adjusting their equipment or condition with the boss room in front.
[“What are we doing then?”]
“Yeah.”
Ga-eun and I just sat there blankly.
There was really nothing to do.
We hadn't brought any equipment to maintain either.
We just came with our bodies, so there was really nothing to do.
Looking around, each was polishing their own weapons.
Kang Tae-san was polishing his axe, Song Baek-hyun his gun, and Haruka her knuckles.
And Choi Seo-yun sitting there...
“......”
Just staring into space and spacing out.
Hmm, she's not doing anything.
I felt a bit at ease.
I felt a bit uncomfortable because only we seemed to be doing nothing.
Thanks to there being one more person like us who wasn't doing anything.
[“He's not doing anything like us.”]
“What can you do if you don't have any weapons to maintain?”
“Yeah, that's right.”
I nodded at Ga-eun's words and replied.
After about 10 minutes like that, each had finished their maintenance in their own way.
“Alright, then let's move again.”
“Got it. We've rested enough, so let's go back.”
“Yeah, let's start again.”
Haruka, who jumped up from her seat, grabbed Choi Seo-yun's shoulder who was sitting next to her.
And shook the grabbed shoulder vigorously back and forth.
“Seo-yun-jja, get up! We're starting again now!”
“Uaa....... Ah, I get it. I'm up...”
“Sigh, Seo-yun-jja. How do you sleep with your eyes open.”
“Huaaam, just? It works when you do it.”
Choi Seo-yun, forcibly woken by Haruka, stretched with a yawn.
Choi Seo-yun's complexion looked better after even a little sleep.
She looked really sleepy earlier, but now she had a bit of a sleepy feeling.
“Either way, she looks sleepy.”
[“There's nothing you can do about it.”]
Even if the watermelon is ripe, it doesn't become a pumpkin.
The sleepy-looking face was Choi Seo-yun's identity.
“Yeah, that's definitely true.”
“Right?”
Ga-eun nodded at my words and replied.
After we also started getting up from our seats, Haruka approached us.
“Eh, Ga-eun-jja. Are you ready?”
“Yes, I didn't bring anything to begin with, so there's nothing to maintain.”
“But what about stamina or something?”
“If it's rest, it's already enough.”
“Yeah, perfect. Good good.”
Haruka said with a bright smile.
“Uncle Tae-san, we're ready. Let's go.”
“Yeah, everyone looks fine, so let's go.”
Kang Tae-san picked up the axe he had put down on the ground.
The other members also held their weapons that they had put down.
Kang Tae-san, standing at the front of the party, pushed the boss room door with all his might.
The huge stone door began to open slowly with a heavy sound.
This is just an incredibly huge rock, so it should be heavy.
He's just pushing it with force.
I let out a small sigh at Kang Tae-san's superhuman strength.
“Everyone, enter.”
Kang Tae-san walked into the inside of the boss room after saying that.
“Everyone, be careful.”
“Yeah, we don't know what will come out in the boss room.”
The remaining members followed Kang Tae-san who had entered first in order.
[“Let's go too.”]
“Yes, let's go.”
Ga-eun and I also walked into the inside of the boss room following the party members.
There was nothing inside the room, surprisingly.
It was just a huge common space in the cave with only rocks.
[“It's cleaner than I thought inside?”]
“Isn't that a flag?”
“Ah.”
It was the moment I casually blurted out.
-Woooooo!!!
“Battle preparation!”
With a painful ear-splitting roar, the boss monster appeared.
The monster's basic form was a rhinoceros, but its entire body was made of stone.
It was the monster named Terrahorn, a high-grade rock insect.
The feature was its overwhelming size.
Since the whole body was made of hard stone, it had high defense, and attacks using its hard and heavy body were threatening.
An extremely high-grade boss monster.
“Everyone, be careful of the charge!”
The only weakness was that the attack direction was linear.
Attacks using Terrahorn's weight couldn't easily change direction.
“Then, for now, one shot.”
-Soup
Song Baek-hyun fired one bullet towards the Terrahorn.
The flying bullet hit the Terrahorn but bounced off the hard body and didn't become a hit.
“Hmm, as expected, ordinary attacks are useless.”
“Hey, Baek-hyun. Isn't there something else?”
“It's too much, it's a problem.”
Song Baek-hyun immediately removed the existing magazine and reloaded with a new one.
“How about this?”
- Soup!!
A stronger sound than before as the bullet was fired.
-Woooooo!!!
“Looks like it had an effect.”
“Oh, Baek-hyun. How many shots left from just now?”
“There's a lot left, so don't worry.”
Song Baek-hyun took a firing stance again and exhaled.
“Bullets are expensive, but more expensive than the value of life.”
One more shot.
-Soup!!
With the firing sound, the bullet embedded into Terrahorn's body.
It was a more effective attack than before.
But similarly, this attack didn't deal much damage.
-Woooooo!!!
But perhaps because it was a stimulus.
Terrahorn started rolling its back foot that was still.
It was a clear pre-pattern for a charge.
“Everyone, scatter!!”
Just as Kang Tae-san's words ended, Terrahorn rushed towards the party.
Fortunately, thanks to Kang Tae-san's command, no one was caught in the charge.
It was when the charging Terrahorn hadn't yet regained its senses.
Ga-eun used the defenseless gap to draw a magic circle in the air.
“Hup......”
In fact, Ga-eun had made a small promise with the Baepsae before entering this gate today.
-[“What? You're telling me not to do anything?”]
-“Yes, I want to try doing it alone this time.”
-[“Hmm, then what if it gets dangerous?”]
-“Then... won't the Master help?”
-[“What? This convenient way of thinking. Amazing.”]
The content of the promise was that the Baepsae would not help with today's gate hunt.
Ga-eun had been training with the Baepsae in between.
She could feel with her body that she had grown to some extent in her own ability.
However, it was difficult to know exactly how much she had grown.
Because there was nothing to compare it to.
So, Ga-eun's thought was to use this gate to show her achievement.
‘Magic Missile’
Other name: Basic Attack Magic.
It was a magic she had been diligently honing after training with the Baepsae.
Ga-eun's fingertips gathered cold white mana into a point.
The compressed mana changed into a very small and delicate crystal at the tip of her finger.
At the moment Ga-eun stopped breathing.
A white bullet shot silently drew a sharp trajectory in the air.
-Kwaaaaaang!!!
A huge explosion sound filled the cave, making the ears tingle.
“W-what, that just now. Is that your magic...?”
“Waaah! Ga-eun-jja. What was that just now?”
“It's several times better than my bullet.”
Ga-eun looked at her fingertips with a dazed face.
The expression was one that didn't believe the scenery just now was what she did.
“......?”
[“Kya, killing?”]
“Ba, Baepsae... ? This, this is...?”
Unlike her usual calm Ga-eun, she was stammering now.
[“Yeah? I told you. Basic Attack Magic.”]
“That just now...?”
[“Then what else is Basic Attack Magic.”]
“That, I mean...”
Ga-eun looked at me with an expression of disbelief.
From the face, she was full of doubt ‘Is the basic attack magic this strong?’
I looked straight at such Ga-eun and said.
[“Don’t ignore the basics.”]
The basics are not called basics because they are easy.
It was called basics because they are important.
“I didn't particularly ignore it.”
[“Th, this is noisy!”]
I was trying to throw out a proverb...!
Where did I get involved.
