The Girl I Saved Came Back As An S-rank Hunter

25 – The beginning of the battle

Non-touch situation.

While thinking about what to do, a golden curtain suddenly forms around Han Yu-ra’s body, blocking the attack.

The magic blocked by the veil was erased without a trace.

Turning around, I saw Sujeongi stretching her palms toward Han Yoo-ra.

“He really bothers me in so many ways.”

Sujeongi, who used the skill [Magic Barrier] To protect Han Yu-ra, said with a frown.

In the meantime, Han Yu-ra landed on her land and returned to our side again to settle down.

“Sheesh.”

Han Yu-ra looks displeased, probably because Su-jeong helped her.

In the meantime, Richie’s head turned and stared at Sujeong for a while, then hit the tip of the wooden staff he was holding on the floor three times enough to make her hear a sound.

“What are you doing?”

Han Yoo-ra shook her head in response to her question.

“I don’t know. But I know right away that it’s not going to be good for us.”

We couldn’t help but become more nervous as we sensed the eerie magic floating above our heads.

Kung.

After a while, something in the form of a large black sphere fell from the ceiling in front of my eyes.

We raise our weapons and look at them with full vigilance. I must have seen Han Yu-ra’s work earlier. I couldn’t rush into it first.

At some point, the large orb gradually took shape as if a rock was being cut into pieces, and took on a human form, transforming into a knight clad in black iron armor and holding a greatsword.

“That is absurd. Is it a restaurant that reminds me of boss monsters? Now, even the Death Knight has come out.”

Another A-rank boss monster suddenly appeared in front of your eyes.

I know that the Death Knight is also an A-class boss monster that hasn’t been seen for a while, but it appeared at this moment.

“This is absurd, really.”

As if Sujeongi recognized it at once, he heard the sound of Bolmen.

The fortunate thing is that although it is A-class like Lich, it is much lower than Lich.

I heard that it was a boss monster that boasted quite a reputation for its strong attack power simply by using a greatsword and solid defense power by wearing black armor.

It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it like Richie, so I have a vague feeling of how much it will be.

“This is going to be pretty tough.”

Now, the level of difficulty has become quite high, even for an A-level dungeon.

The fortunate thing is that it’s not a multiple battle, and we also have two S-class people, so it seems possible to respond.

“Han Yu-ra, take care of the black kid over there. Don’t ignorantly breathe fire. Push as hard as you can and separate him from Richie.”

Under the judgment that it would be more beneficial to fight individually rather than facing each other all at once, as they have been doing in the past, Han Yu-ra was in charge of the Death Knight.

When I pointed to the Death Knight with her finger and said, Hanyu Ra frowned and answered.

“If you don’t say anything, you know what the intention is?”

Still, she obediently follows the instructions and heads for the Death Knight.

As the Death Knight Han Yu-ra approached, as if she had waited, she grabbed the greatsword that was slung over her shoulder with both hands and aimed it at Han Yu-ra.

‘Han Yu-ra would be more comfortable dealing with a Death Knight, a simple blow, rather than dealing with a lich.’

Han Yu-ra started the battle and pushed the Death Knight hard from the start and dragged it to another corner.

After entrusting the death knight to Han Yu-ra, the rest of us focused on Richie.

“Do you have the [Purification] Skill, Sujeong?”

“Yes. I have learned all the basic healer skills.”

It’s the most deadly attack that can target the weak points of the undead, so it’s difficult without it.

“Then, let’s do what we have to do.”

“Okay.”

While talking for a while, Richie reached out once more. Several fireballs the size of a child fly from the front of the staff.

However, Sujeongi’s [Magic Barrier] Activates again, helplessly blocking it before reaching us.

In an instant, a blue flame rises within the lich’s body and then disappears.

‘Are you pissed off?’

It seems that she secretly expressed her anger when her attacks were easily blocked.

Then this time, Rich hit the floor twice.

At that moment, the compressed magic power felt on the floor we were standing on. As their magic power gradually diminished, they began to coalesce.

“Jump!”

Looking at Sujeongi, she shouted and at the same time used [Psychokinesis] To pull Sujeongi up into the air.

Sujeong-i also believes in me and jumps up without a second thought.

At the same time, the place where we were standing froze in an instant from the sudden chill, followed by a sharp pillar of ice rising through the floor.

“Wa, I almost died. Really.”

If I had stayed still, the ice pillar would have pierced my body.

“If it wasn’t for Wonwoo, it would have been really big.”

Sujeongi said after descending to the safe floor.

“No. Sujeong must have already known.”

“No, I didn’t notice it as quickly as Wonwoo. I almost got into trouble.”

I don’t know if it’s the effect of training, but Sujeong’s sincere praise makes me feel a little better.

It means that the sense of mana was better than the S class. Of course, it might just be Sujeongie’s words.

“So, shall we go right now, Wonwoo?”

“Yes. Get ready.”

Sujeong stepped back and blocked his way.

Standard formation used against boss monster-level undead.

Due to the nature of divine attacks, most of them take a long time to activate, so the person to attack is placed in the rear and the front supports them.

I do this a lot when dealing with normal boss monsters, but in the case of a lich, unlike normal undead, physical or magical attacks are completely nullified, so it is essential.

The only weakness is a skill or magic containing divine power.

In other words, Sujeongi’s skill [Purification] And the 5 holy waters prepared are the only means to attack.

‘I should have bought more.’

Now that I think about it, I wonder if I should have bought more holy water, but since the price was about the price of a new car, I couldn’t waste it.

If undead boss monsters don’t appear, it’s money to throw away due to the nature of holy water that has an expiration date. No matter how much money you have, it’s not an easy thing to do.

“Sujeong-ah, how long does it take to activate [Purification]?”

I turned my head slightly and asked Sujeong.

“No matter how short it is, it’s three minutes.”

I expected at least 5 minutes to last, but I was surprised by the much shorter time.

“… It’s so fast. Huh, then I’ll be blocking you in the meantime. Please take good care of me.”

I took a deep breath and prepared myself mentally.

“Are you okay?”

Sujeongi speaks with a worried face.

“Don’t worry, trust me.”

In a way, the moment of opportunity to prove that you are a person who can protect your side has arrived.

If others heard the story of protecting the S rank, they might think it was funny.

“Then let’s begin.”

After Sujeongi turned her weapon, the ‘Stigma’ upside down, and planted it in the ground, she stretched out her hands and closed her eyes.

After a while, white magical energy leaks out around the crystal instead of the usual golden light.

While doing so, white marbles formed little by little on both of her outstretched palms and began to accumulate.

At that time, another blue flame erupted inside Richie’s body, and her staff pointed at Sujeongi.

As if realizing that it would be dangerous if left alone, the lich casts magic on Sujeongi again.

Platinum-colored lightning that snakes like a snake from her staff approaches Sujeongi.

‘I’m not at a level where I can survive by blocking it.’

After making a quick decision, I approached the lightning and charged the gauntlet with magical energy and swung my fist at the lightning.

“Keugh.”

Pung.

Fortunately, the approaching lightning was extinguished on the spot, but as it collided with the magic, the explosion generated by the ‘Gloves of Destruction’ ability I had equipped hit me in reverse.

Thanks to that, I got small soot all over my body, but fortunately there was no major damage.

A blue flame rises from the lich’s eyes again, then disappears. Then, as before, he tapped the floor three times with his cane.

Since I saw the meaning of that action earlier, I was taken aback.

‘What is it, can I summon a Death Knight again?’

No matter how rich he is, since he summoned the Death Knight, an A-class monster of the same rank, there seemed to be no limit to his magic power, so he was completely ruling out the summoning itself.

However, as if ignoring that thought, two skeletons were summoned from the ground revealing white bones.

Unlike the normal skeletons from before, they were a bit bigger and each held a pair of swords and a bow in each hand.

The B-class boss monsters were Skeleton Warrior and Skeleton Archer.

“You’ll make a very good family with your summons.”

Perhaps a minute or so has passed. [Purification] Can only be used on one target.

If you use it on the wrong summons, there is a risk that it will take time again, so you must remove it before it gets in the way.

Whirick.

An arrow flying at that moment. Using the ability of [Fairy Boots], I increased my speed and easily dodged it to the side.

In the meantime, the skeleton archer carries arrows again. And a Skeleton Warrior with twin swords rushes forward.

Unlike normal skeletons, they approach at high speed and ignoring their own defenses, wildly wielding the twin swords in both hands.

‘Still, it’s better than I thought?’

Fortunately, the speed at which he swung his sword was sufficient to respond. There doesn’t seem to be a big problem in avoiding it with the effect of [Fairy Boots].

Poof. Swish

The sound of twin swords slicing through the air can be heard in your ears, making your spine run cold, but strangely, a thrilling feeling also arises inside.

In the meantime, I was wary of the Lich’s attack, but fortunately there was no follow-up magic, as if the magic limit had really reached.

Whirick.

An arrow flying again.

I turned my body to the side slightly to avoid him, and then stood in a straight line and blocked my view so that the Skeleton Warrior would cover me and not aim at me.

‘The condition is very good?’

Strangely, my body feels light today, as if my former skills have returned.

While avoiding the Skeleton Warrior’s attack, I secretly took out a glass bottle the size of a small cosmetic product from a bag on my waist.

And when you hold it with the gauntlet in your hand, it breaks and the contents inside seep into the gauntlet.

At that moment, the skeleton, who was about to swing his twin swords wide, lightly punched the face in a straight line.

Pajik.

The skeleton’s face, which touched the cheekbones, was shattered at once, and the face that was split in half from the hit produced acrid smoke.

Then, the body that remained tilted and fell forward, holding the sword.

“It must have been a real holy water.”

I just swung his fist without using any magical powers, but seeing as he knocked him down, I could tell that it was effective.

Actually, this is the first item I’ve used, so I had doubts about whether it was a scam, so I tried it out to test it in advance, and the effect was better than expected.

Then he stretched out one hand and used [Psychokinesis] On the skeleton archer.

The skeleton archer’s whole body trembled and tried to move, but only the jawbone and head moved slightly.

In the meantime, using the [Fairy Boots], I approached and lightly swung my fist at the ribs with the same holy water-stained gauntlet.

Bones that shatter like thin twigs. You can see that the bones touched by your hands are burning little by little, giving off smoke.

After that, I stepped on the skeleton archer’s face and looked at the lich behind me.

Unlike before, the rich stared at me with the blue flame still on.

You should have noticed by now that it is holy water.

In the silence that came for a while, while confronting each other and looking at each other, the lich lifted his staff and aimed at it.

Among the magics of the lich, the magic that activates the fastest spreads out like a net and approaches the place where I was standing.

Fortunately, he was aware of it, so he quickly threw himself and left the spot.

Chiik.

A large hole was left in the floor melted by magic.

Looking at the hole reminded me of what had happened before, and my back felt painful for no reason, and my body trembled slightly.

At that time, the moment when Richie stealthily lifted the wand was captured.

This time, I quickly stretched out my arms and used [Psychokinesis].

A staff clumsily climbed onto the suddenly stopped arm.

The moment you want to attack is like the moment you lose your guard for a very short time.

Anyway, at the current level, it was unreasonable to hold onto it completely. So, trying to use it as an opportunity-creating role worked just fine.

Using the [Fairy Boots], I ran towards the gigantic figure.

Since the lich is not good at close combat, he quickly opened the lids of the three holy waters he took from his waistband and sprinkled them inside his robe.

At that moment, smoke and acrid smell spread from the robe.

The momentary restraints were also released in the meantime, and the lich kept her distance to avoid swinging her staff at me as I got closer.

At that time, I accidentally tripped on the two candlesticks on the floor and almost fell, but fortunately there were no additional attacks, as if the lich was also in pain.

Litch stumbles as if in pain, but in the meantime, as if seeking revenge, he aims his staff again.

But now, my role has already been completed. Because it’s time.

“Wonwoo! Get out of the way!”

In Sujeongi’s hand, who opened her eyes before she knew it, an orb containing the power of purification was emitting white light.

Rich turns around to run away as if he belatedly realized the power of the marbles contained in Sujeongi, but his body is already immobilized after being hit by three holy waters.

Sujeongi lifted the ‘stigma’ with one hand and put the power of purification in the other hand.

The silvery day shines even more, and she starts to cry with a slight ‘huh’.

Sujeongi approached Lich, who was limping and trying to run away, and swung the scythe across his waist.

In an instant, the lich’s body split in two as the green robe was torn as well. It is precisely separated into two and rolls on the ground.

It was made of only bones, just like a skeleton, but you can see a black magic stone nestled in the middle of its chest.

Soojungi approached indifferently and used the blade of the ‘stigma’ to drive it into the magic stone and split it in two.

At that moment, Richie’s upper body and lower body were separated.

It also slowly stopped moving for a while, and at the last moment the rich’s gaze turned to the coffin, and then it evaporated and slowly disappeared like dust.
