Became the Mafia of the Academy

Chapter 161

Our dungeon progress was completely different from other parties.

There were two overwhelmingly strong all-rounders, so Alessia and I had nothing to do in the first place.

Is it even really okay to be like this? The moment when you feel guilty along with the thought.

“All stop——.”

Antonio, who was leading, raised his right hand and shouted with a hand signal.

At the same time, a sense of tension begins to creep around.

Until now, if Antonio sensed an enemy first, it felt like Parnello would run and wipe out the enemy right away, but this time, Parnello also crouched down and quietly watched the situation.

Slowly, we moved our steps and arrived behind Antonio, and we understood why he had seen us and told us to stop.

The jet-black forest ended, and a pure white desert appeared as if a line was a new place.

“Don Vibalt. Have you ever seen a dungeon like this?”

“I have never seen a dungeon where the environment changes so rapidly. A white desert.”

“… … this texture. They look like bone fragments.”

As Alessia muttered as she touched the white sand in front of her, the others were shocked.

“A desert made of bones. That’s terrible.”

“Sir Parnello, have you ever seen a dungeon like this?”

“In the first place, I haven’t been sent to a dungeon many times. This is my first time at a place like this.”

At that moment, a dungeon with this characteristic came to mind.

“… … An undead lair?”

The words that came out of my mouth unconsciously made Parnello turn his head and look at me.

“An undead den?”

“Yeah, I think I heard it at the academy.”

Actually, it’s a memory from when I was in the game, but I guess it’s not important.

Among the numerous dungeons, there is only one A-class dungeon that appears in a white desert after this forest terrain.

An abyssal forest created by the resentment and fear of the dead.

And the other is a desert of bones created by the shattering of their bodies.

We gamers used to call such a dungeon like this.

‘Undead Lair’.

In the beginning, dark maps and mobs that bother players’ eyes and senses. After passing there, the bright background and the endless army of undead swarmed.

It was a guy who could be called a kind of disaster, pouring undead out of the dungeon if he didn’t attack it because it was annoying.

‘By the way, why are you coming out here?’

According to the original work, the setting is obviously made by the accumulated resentment of powerful creatures, so as long as it’s a mass destruction event or a virtually unpredictable disaster that comes out after dealing with such a fraudulent existence–

Oh, I remembered.

“Farnello, the waste dump must have been near this dungeon, right?”

“Yes, but suddenly why… … .”

“It’s just that I think you know why this dungeon was created.”

The materials of Fafnir that we recently brought here and thoroughly dismantled.

Other than the wastes from the process, no other connection came to mind.

“I heard that a dungeon like this is created when a great amount of resentment accumulates.”

The pure white desert that appears after passing through the sticky forest of resentment looks beautiful on the outside, but in reality it is not at all.

“Everyone get ready! According to what you heard, the undead will come soon!”

Basically, Bone Desert, which is the second phase of the Undead Den, is played in a defense format.

An infinite horde of undead spawning in the bones. And the player who blocks it.

A dungeon full of malice made it impossible to escape even if you escaped from the undead army thanks to the ironic rule that you cannot escape unless you defeat a certain number of enemies.

I took out Tommy and prepared for the situation that was about to happen, and Antonio trudged toward the Bone Desert.

“Don Antonio?”

“Don’t worry.”

As he silently walks into the desert, his hair blows in the desert’s strong wind.

And.

“This is enough.”

At the same time as he murmurs an incomprehensible word.

-Kirik–.

Countless hands made of bones began to rise from the vast white desert.

– Kreuk.

– Kirik?

– Kagagak!

Thousands and tens of thousands of skeletons stepping on bone fragments and twisting their bodies up as if reminiscent of horror movies of the past.

It was a violence in numbers that could not be called a ‘disaster’.

However, Antonio does not show any reaction to the shocking sight.

“Because it is light, it will fly well.”

He looked at the scene indifferently as if it was nothing, then snapped his fingers.

wheee

──The desert began to move.

It was not an expression or a description.

Indeed, the endless desert of bones began to move only with the wind blowing from the desert.

-Kieek!

– Kreuk! Krarak!

In the process, the skeletons that should have crawled out of the ground are blown away by the wind.

The guys who are blown away by the wind and turn back into pieces of bone.

The sight of him holding a cigarette in his mouth and putting his hand in his pocket and handling the wind that could destroy the terrain drew admiration just by looking at it.

“this… … Vibalt’s blood line ability.”

A family that does not end with manipulating the wind, but controls it.

Vibalt Family.

Skeletons repeatedly vaporize at the same time as spawning in a sharp blast that seems to crush his enemies.

After just a few minutes of blowing up the wind and shattering everything around them, the skeletons ceased to appear and became so calm that only silence was felt.

The defense that was worried about this is relieved.

However, if you just finished it, this dungeon wouldn’t have been criticized.

───────!!

-Krrra!!

The desert explodes, revealing a gigantic figure.

Skeleton Dragon.

Even at a glance, I could tell that he was the boss of this dungeon.

“Hmm… … Undead dragons aren’t compatible.”

The wind he handled roughly dug around the dragon made of bone, but only a few scratches were blocked by the thickness and resistance of the undead dragon.

Antonio frowns.

“Yeah, that must be a bit difficult.”

“Then, I will take care of that.”

Parnello, who was standing behind him, unbuttoned his sleeve and stepped forward.

Then there’s something just right.

“Parnello. this!”

I took ‘it’ out of the cube and threw it.

“… … This. Are those chopsticks?”

“Chopsticks, no matter who sees them, aren’t they an awl?”

“Isn’t it too thin to be called an awl?”

… … Still, it was barely made by beating all night on Jeju Island.

“Anyway, attacking with it will help. First of all, it is a sacred object.”

“Yes?”

Although he made a surprised expression at the word holy relic.

Hearing the sound of the dragon flapping its wings slowly behind him, he immediately turned his body, pulled back his hand holding the Ascalon, and shouted.

“If it’s a holy thing, that’ll be enough.”

“uh? Wait a minute——”

Paang——!!

Ascalon flies as hard as he can toward the dragon flying into the sky.

Following the trajectory, a huge beam of light rose, drawing an afterimage.

Most importantly, the light passed through the dragon’s chest.

-Cre… … Ouch?

A guy born in the desert of bones and oxidized by light at the same time.

If there’s anything wrong with him, it’s probably because he met us today.

“young master. Well written. I don’t know how you got the holy relic… … The effect is certain.”

Saying that, Parnello returns the Ascalon he just threw.

His awakening ability, ‘recovery’, was activated.

The effect, as the name suggests, is to bring back an object that has left its hand.

I knew it, but I was surprised because I suddenly threw Ascalon.

“… … Yes, I would like to return it.”

When Ascalon is put back into the cube, the remains of what used to be a skeleton dragon begin to scatter around like snow, emitting a bright light.

After all, it was processed faster than expected… … .

“Alessia.”

“Yes. young master.”

“Let’s pick them all up.”

“… … Yes?”

“They are all treasures.”

‘Dragon’s Eye Stone’, the basic reward of the undead den.

It was one of the materials used to make elixirs or items with jewels containing the dragon’s thoughts.

By the way.

“Wow, does this come out a lot?”

Is it because it ended at the same time as spawning? More pears came out than I knew.

The total number of dragon’s eye stones dropped was 42.

At this rate, it was such an amount that it made me think that the day to create Carlione’s dragon army might not be long.

“young master. I also found something like this in the desert.”

As I was walking in the desert with Alessia and picking up dragon’s eye stones, Antonio brought something and showed it to me.

“dagger?”

As I carefully received the dagger from him, information about the item popped up in front of me.

[Name: Dagger of Thoughts (Dragon)]

[Rating: Unique]

[Type: Dagger]

[Description: A dagger containing the dragon’s thoughts. Inflicts a fear effect on monsters and causes a corruption curse on cut opponents.]

“It’s a good thing. Would you like me to bring this to Jinwoo?”

“… … You mean this?”

“Yes. In practice, the more weapons with different effects, the better. Maybe he likes it too? Since it contains the dragon’s thoughts, well, you could say it’s a dragon-made weapon.”

Even in this world, dragon-made weapons are the best of the best.

It was something everyone wanted.

“I’ll go back and give it to you, but… … . I’ve never given him a proper present. I don’t know what to do.”

Antonio is just giving his son a present, but he is already worried with a serious expression on his face.

what a difficult thing that is I felt sorry for him, so I decided to give him a piece of advice.

“Just be honest.”

“… … Are you being honest?”

“Yes, ‘I came and picked it up.’ Or… … You actually picked it up, right?”

It can be called clichéd gift-giving, but the old-fashioned way is the most acceptable.

“Come and pick it up… … Yes. I will give it to you once I say so.”

Antonio nodded and inserted the dagger as if he couldn’t think of anything else to say.

For some reason, seeing that figure, I imagined Jinwoo already showing off all over the place.

‘… … Well. I think you want to be a bitch. After all, since I was helped by Antonio, it would be better to look at it at least three times, right?’

When I was holding a presentation ceremony of 3 kkabang tickets to Jin-Woo in my heart.

[Hidden achievement achieved!]

[Achievement: Obtain 「Bus Passenger」!]

[Successful clearing with 0 damage in A-rank or higher dungeons.]

[Applause for your conscience!]

[Special rewards are given!]

[The attribute 「Human Totem」 is acquired.]

What else is this?

It seems that this is also a new characteristic that came over to this world.

【Human Totem】

[One. Human Totem: You help your team just by standing. If you stand there doing nothing, the luck of your teammates will increase slightly and the attribute holder will receive a behavioral correction.]

… … Is this a trait I made to pick on?

What, do you have all these characteristics?

It seemed like a characteristic that I probably wouldn’t use, so I closed the system window as it was, and white bone powder began to be sucked toward the floor like flushing a toilet, forming a huge portal.

It was a signal that the dungeon had been cleared.

“Let’s go back soon. I will worry about the guys outside.”

not bad anyway

A dagger in the dragon’s eye stone… … Well, even the characteristics that I don’t know if I’ll be able to use it.

My first A-rank dungeon was very successful.

* * *

next day.

For some reason, Jin-woo, who went to the academy earlier than usual, was sitting in his seat smiling as expected.

However, if there was one thing that was different from usual… … .

“Atham. Big! Etham!”

As I expected, as soon as he arrived at school, he put his dagger on his desk and coughed strangely.

“hehehe!”
