The Engagement Was Broken Off and I Became a Munchkin

Episode 7 The entrance exam is destroyed (3)

No special event happened on the way to the demon castle.

I arrived safely and looked up at the castle.

I can’t see the end even if I bend my head.

‘It’s unusually big.’

“Oh. I have a feeling. Is this the demon castle?”

Rather than having a feeling… It looks like a steeple that you can see when you go to a temple.

That did… I wonder if this demonic castle has been enlarged by dozens to hundreds of times.

Rossi was pointing at a building when she wanted something.

“What are you doing?”

“Huh?

“Fingers. What are you doing?

“Ah. I was counting the floors.”

“?”

As I answered with a smile, I suddenly remembered an anecdote I read while on Earth.

A man went out on the veranda at midnight and smoked a cigarette while looking at the playground, and a man was stabbing a woman to death.

The killer turned to the man in surprise.

Then pointing.

But that was the motion of counting floors. Like Rossi now.

“Why are you looking so serious?”

“No.”

I was vaguely evasive and approached the castle.

The door was wide open.

“I will take the lead.”

“Yes.”

In preparation for emergencies, the mana has been raised.

When you enter, you will see a wide cavity made entirely of black material.

I looked left and right, but there was nothing. Even those common stone slabs.

A staircase was placed on one side of the wall of the joint.

At first glance, the stairs leading to the second floor.

Beogjeokjeok-.

I felt a sense of difference, so I approached to see if there was anything unusual.

‘I see.’

The first and second floors were not continuous spaces.

In other words, the two spaces are connected through magic.

In other words, climbing the stairs to the second floor was essentially the same as reaching the islands by crossing the magic circle.

‘It took a lot of work.’

This virtual world has aspects similar to coding, if I have to use an analogy.

Should I say coding using magical power?

Maintaining a magical connection to each floor means that the archmage invested considerable time and effort.

In other words, the probability that there is something in this demon castle is very, very high.

The Demon King or the Four Heavenly Kings or something like that.

In that case, it is reasonable to act on the assumption that difficulties await from the second floor.

“There is a high possibility that there will be something from the second floor. Be nervous.”

“Yes.”

With a serious expression, Rossi nodded once.

But it’s not going to be that serious.

Anyway, the virtual world is just a fictional world that is extremely similar to reality.

I stepped on the stairs to the second floor.

Then,

Hwaaah—-.

The space was reversed and a black cavity came into my field of vision.

The second floor is also the same space as the first floor.

Likewise, there was nothing.

“Um.”

My expectations were wrong.

I invested a lot in wrapping paper, but in fact, there is nothing in it?

It’s very inefficient, but it might be.

You’ll know for sure if you go up further.

We went straight to the stairs leading to the third floor without saying anything.

[3Rd floor]

There was nothing.

[4Th floor]

It was the same.

When I went up to the 10th floor like that.

As soon as I climbed up, I felt a wave of tremendous magic power.

Go oh oh oh oh oh.

Its origin is the common center.

With that, my head naturally turned.

There was a human figure sitting with his back leaning against a stone chair.

A sound echoed from the source.

Thumping—-.

With the beating of the heart, demonic energy is scattered in all directions.

A being that exudes the most ferocious energy I’ve ever seen.

“Ugh… “

Rosie, who had just crossed the stairs, let out a painful scream with just that wave.

Its eyes flashed.

Daat-.

A golden pupil staring at me.

I knew that.

“… A asura devil.”

“I never thought there would be people who came all the way here. Interesting.”

The thing that met my gaze gave me a low laugh.

A creepy voice as if scratching iron.

Although his real name is a demon, he is a high-ranking demon who is more famous as a sword horse because he handles swords amazingly well.

As if to prove that, he possessed three swords.

Otherwise, the North Heaven Devil occupies the throne among the Four Heavenly Kings.

It was at least a ‘master’ level with the momentum of it touching the skin.

There was something a little long, but… Judging from the momentum, that seems right. Maybe?

“I’ll tear you to death. Human.”

Um. I’m going to go straight to power.

As I became a master, I realized. The anonymous sword method basically transcends space and time to some extent.

I don’t know if all masters are like that.

I was swinging my sword fast in a world that was slowing down,

What was only visible in the world of imagery unfolded on my hand.

I have to give it a name.

… Roughly.

[Space Charm]

It’s a sword that cuts through space, so that should be enough.

[Squeak-]

And my sword strike, which I swung as if searching, cut through the North Heaven Devil.

He couldn’t even utter a final word, and his body was cut into hundreds of pieces and scattered around.

“…… “

The guy exuded a mighty force reminiscent of the Master.

I expected it to be a search battle, even though it was a blow with considerable mental strength…

“You bastard… Why are you so weak?”

Unbeknownst to me, my true heart flowed.

* * *

Ruina Taiyan was assigned to Team 32.

The stage for the test is the ‘Great Demon War’.

Among the arbitrarily determined environments, this environment is famous for being difficult.

‘I’m out of luck.’

That was the first thing Ruina thought when she was summoned to the virtual world.

First of all, the level of team members has fallen.

Because no one was great enough to serve a single person by her standards.

Even so, the test is a relative evaluation, so I thought I would do my best in the given environment.

Her strategy was simple.

To slaughter a demon that climbs up the wall from a given location.

That was the norm for her to study.

The key to preventing the 1st wave is to kill the mid-level demons that occasionally appear.

Because the NPCs will be able to block low-level demons.

“Shoot aaa”

Squeak—-.

“Keuuu”

The battle cry.

In the midst of weapons and screams, she dutifully swung her sword and dutifully cut down her demons one by one.

While doing the repeated movements, her thoughts filled my head.

‘… Eugene.’

My fiancé is taking this exam.

No, it’s correct to say that I’m a fiancé now.

She judged that Eugene was not capable of taking her test here.

He has a good understanding of swordsmanship, but his body and magic are at a terrible level.

I’m sure you’ll get a failing grade.

‘Advice… You don’t know how to take advice.’

His reaction at the test site was quite unpleasant.

‘… It remains to be seen.’

For some things, the result was fixed without having to wait and see.

The words of a person with no skills are nothing more than bluff…

Unfortunately, even if it was my fiancé, I had no choice but to say it was stupid.

Louis I shook her head.

I didn’t want to cling to things that had no value anymore.

For a long time, I expected him to show me something, but he couldn’t.

That is why I myself have fulfilled my duty.

Rather than that… It was more important to think about how to overtake her princess Erzébet and take her place of chief.

I will proudly claim first place in this exam hall and prove that the blood and sweat shed for a long time were not in vain.

Maybe it won’t be easy.

Rui I easily blocked her first wave.

In the first place, it was a level of difficulty enough for an examinee with above-average skills to pass.

And after some rest, the 2nd wave started.

‘From here… It won’t be easy.’

If you pass the 2nd wave, you will be able to get high grades.

From there, high-ranking demons are included, and these high-ranking demons have a different level of strength from the middle and lower ranks.

Fortunately, there weren’t that many high-ranking demons, and one or two high-ranking demons will appear in the 2nd wave.

‘Catch it.’

I didn’t know if it would be possible to block the second wave if I could catch just one of them by myself.

As soon as her 2nd wave started, Ruina took a close look at the battlefield.

And, it didn’t take long for her to capture a powerful demon who was slaughtering her allies.

‘… That’s it.’

As she had planned, Louis I quickly moved along the wall to hunt the higher level demons.

It went very smoothly.

‘I will be the main character on this stage.’

This was the point of victory.

On this vast battlefield, the one who determines the outcome of the war is himself, Jeong Do’s thoughts.

However.

When her higher-level demon suddenly looked back at her,

Creepy-.

Her body couldn’t help but startle and stiffen with that ferocious demon.

And in the blink of an eye, it was rapidly fired at Ruina.

Ruina hurriedly dodged its attack, but

Squeak—-.

Its claws cut deep into Ruina’s side.

‘Oops… !’

She was more upset that she was careless on the battlefield than she was in the pain of that wound.

Even in the meantime, the higher level demons were slaughtering other knights and soldiers who attacked me.

It was an unfair fight. For the upper level demons.

However, that one was overwhelming the battlefield.

At some point, flesh and blood overflowed around the upper level demons.
