Chapter 114: Giants' Valley

Chapter 114: Giants’ Valley

“Exploding Corpses, according to the information here, will explode if they sustain too much magic damage, and they can use explosion magic. When they use explosion magic, a magic circle will appear around you, so make sure you dodge them.”

“As for Phantom Ghosts, they are immune to physical attacks, so we’ll have to use magic if we want to damage them, and they can use wind magic, specifically Wind Blades, Wind Bullets, and Wind Barrage. Also, they can silent cast Wind Bullet, so we need to keep an eye out for that.”

p ?? da n ?v el They began wandering the destroyed graveyard shortly after preparing themselves.

Minutes later, they encountered their first monster, the Exploding Corpse.

The Exploding Corpse had a round figure and looked like a fat zombie that appeared to be on the verge of exploding.

When the Exploding Corpse noticed Leo and Nina, it pointed at them and mumbled some inaudible words.

The following moment—

“Leo! Below you! Get away from the magic circle!” Nina suddenly shouted as she jumped away from him, as there was a medium-sized magic circle right below Leo.

Leo immediately used Void Step and appeared a few meters away.

BOOM!?? ? ?? n ? ???

The magic circle exploded two seconds later, causing the place to shake a little.

“You bastard!” Leo tightly gripped his sword before running at the Exploding Corpse.

Once he was close enough, he swung the sword, decapitating the Exploding Corpse.

“Run away, Leo! Their bodies will also explode three seconds after dying!” Nina warned him.

Leo used Void Step again to avoid the explosion.

“Are you okay?” Nina ran to him afterward.

“Yes… But that was close. I think we should avoid this area. The monsters here are too dangerous and annoying. Although I can deal with these Exploding Corpses with ease, I cannot do so without using magic, and I prefer fighting monsters that I can defeat with just my sword. After all, I would like to record us fighting some A-Rank monsters. This way, the other students and teachers won’t be as suspicious when we show them our points.”

“I thought you didn’t care about that?” Nina raised her eyebrow.

“I don’t, but it would be troublesome if they ask us too many questions. I want to keep what happened at the cave a secret from the academy. After all, if news got out that an Otherworlder had left behind his legacy, the whole world would go crazy, and I will become the world’s number one target because I have the Elder’s Orb of Restraints, which will lead us to the legacy.” p??da n?vel

“Speaking of the clue… I tried looking for it but I didn’t find anything.”

Nina pondered for a moment before speaking, “Perhaps it will guide you to the next trial whenever you’re near the place, but who knows.”

They left the graveyard shortly after and began looking for another location.

“How about this place? These monsters should be doable even if you’re just using a sword.” Nina showed him the next location.

“Mountain Cyclops and Vengeful Treants, huh. Alright, let’s go there. How far is it from this place?”

“Four days.”

“Four days…” Leo was speechless.

“At this rate, we’ll spend more time traveling than fighting…” He sighed a moment later.

“There’s nothing we can do. We don’t have a vehicle, and hoverboards aren’t fast enough.” Nina shrugged. ,c,om

“Forget it. Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

They retrieved their hoverboards and began speeding into the distance.

Over the course of the next four days, Leo and Nina would encounter many other students during their journey, and most of them were found in the D-Rank and C-Rank areas, especially the students that cannot use magic.

“A lot of the students we passed seemed exhausted, and all of them had injuries on their bodies. One of them was even missing an arm. Why are they trying so hard?” Leo sighed, as he could not understand their feelings.

“To most students, the Wilderness Training Course is an opportunity to be recognized and a chance to be promoted to an Elite Student.”

“Huh? Ordinary students who cannot use magic can become an elite student too?” Leo asked.

“Yes, but they’re not in the same circle as the magic student’s elite. Knights and magic students have their own elite students. You are also an elite student— you just don’t remember it.”

“I see…”

Sometime later, Nina said, “We’re almost there.”

“Alright.” Leo nodded and looked at his phone to go through the information about the monsters again.

‘Mountain Cyclops. They’re giants with immense strength. Their skin is so thick that most ordinary weapons cannot penetrate them. As for magic… one will need at least 20,000 magic power to deal any meaningful damage to them.’

‘20,000 magic power… that’s a lot, especially when 5,000 is already enough to destroy buildings… I wonder what my current magic power is.’

‘Vengeful Treants, they’re tree monsters that can use earth magic. They are weak to fire magic. Be wary of their roots that they hide in the ground. Sounds troublesome.’

About an hour later, Leo could see the beginning of a mountain valley in the distance.

“Giant’s Valley is right up there.” Nina said.

“Alright.”

As they got closer to the Giant’s Valley, Leo could see a figure standing outside the entrance of the valley.

‘That person is…’ A smile appeared on Leo’s face when he saw this person.

“Miss Camille!” He waved at her once they were close enough.

“Leo? What are you doing all the way out here? If you didn’t know, A-Rank monsters roam this area. Now get out of here before you get hurt.” Camille shooed him away.

Leo chuckled at her reaction and said, “I know. That’s why I am here— to hunt these monsters.”

Camille frowned upon hearing his words.

“What ridiculous thing are you saying? If you think you are strong enough to fight A-Rank monsters just because you are having an easy time with B-Rank monsters, I will let you know that—”

“A-Rank monsters are far stronger than B-Rank monsters, right? I know. I have already fought several of them before coming here.” Leo smiled at her.

Camille proceeded to stare at Leo in silence and with a pondering gaze.
