Chapter 22
"Instructor, what do you mean? There are demons in this dungeon?"
I smiled and said "You got it right"
Dumbfounded by my calmness they stared at Evander looking for answers but Evander just smiled weakly and nodded his head
Suddenly Chay Mi Kyong raised her hand and said "Sir, don't you think we're not ready for this yet?"
"Nope You guys aren't." I answered bluntly
"..."
Even Evander stared at me as if looking ag some psycho but I just casually ignored their stares as I said "But, you don't have to worry, with me by your side you won't die"
"What nonsense- how can you be so sure?!" One of the three knights exclaimed
Tilting my head I smiled as I said "Because they aren't as strong as me"
To be honest I am not strong but thanks to my cheat skills I can handle this well
What's more according to the novel there is only one demon in this dungeon so this can be solved
"You-" The knight's face flushed red out of anger but Evander stopped her
Looking at me Evander asked "Are you sure about this?"
I just smiled and Evander sighed as he placed his hand on my shoulder and said "Be careful, if you die it will be my responsibility"
I snorted ever so lightly and said "You don't have to stress out commander, I can handle this"
Afterall, I already know the weakness of the demon we'll be facing hehe.
*****
Arriving inside the dungeon everyone immediately raised their vigilance and I just walked casually as they followed behind me
As we walked for a long time we suddenly noticed that there is not a single monster that appeared before us which is strange for a dungeon
"I have a bad feeling about this" Geum Beok-seo muttered
As we were walking I suddenly stopped which made the group confused until I opened my mouth and spoke as I said "He's here"
Immediately everyone circled around me and formed a battle formation
Suddenly we heard a whistle as someone clapped and came out of the darkness
"Phew, I never know someone can perceive my presence" A youth with a chestnut hair color appeared as he looked normal and simple
Everyone frowned but their backs were covered in cold sweat
I smiled and sneered at him but deep inside I was also sweating
This is the first time I've faced a demon
Although I've read the description about them being physically close to them is still different!
"Hmm" The demon rubbed his chin as he examined each of us before he smirked and said "Weaklings, especially the one in the middle"
Uh are you talking about me? Well I can only say one thing and that is-- you're correct
"Ooh but there is some that are strong here" He said as he looked at Choi Kwan and Jeong Ji-ho
"Well then, if you're not going to attack first then--"
Suddenly the demon disappeared and I shouted "Choi Kwan formation A!"
Without hesitation Choi Kwan raised his sword and pierced to the front which a black silhouette appeared at but suddenly disappeared
Choi Kwan, the others, and even the demon wa surprised!
"H- How did you know I was going to appear there?!" The demon screamed and glared at me
I just smiled and said "I have a lot of secrets"
Like how I knew you would appear here, although Evander asked about it I said that I cannot reveal it and he agreed with a sigh
The demon glared at me as he bared his fangs and disappeared again
This time I said "Everyone, formation Protect"
Immediately everyone changed positions as the three knights stood at the front, Choi Kwan and Bin Seo-jun on the left, Jeong Ji-ho and Cha Si-woo on the right, Chay Mi Kyong and Geum Beok-seo on the back, and Bae Chul and Lee Mi-Nyeo at my front and Gon Won-shik on my right while Ahn Ju-won on my left
This formation is for protecting the chess piece king which is me, if I fall then it's game over for them
"Not bad" A voice echoed and I immediately said "Knight 1 above"
Immediately the only female knight held her sword and jumped above me
Clang!
Suddenly the sound of metals clashing sounded and her sword blocked the sharp nails of the demon that was aiming for my head
"Tsk" The demon clicked his tongue and back away
"You're so annoying, how do you know my next moves? Are you omnipotent or something?" he said
I shrugged my shoulders before I became serious and said "It's our turn now to attack"
"Knight 1, 2, 3 all attack from all sides at once!"
Immediately all three knights dashed towards the demon and started fighting but unsurprisingly the demon was able to dodge every attack and even injured the knights
"Support heal them! Marksman support them!"
Immediately Chay Mi Kyong started using her healing ability and within a glimpse the wounds on the knights healed
Cha Si-woo and Lee Mi-Nyeo raised their bows and started shooting arrows at the demon but was avoided neatly
Geum Beok-seo asked "Why not let us join?"
"And then what? Let me or Gon Won-shik die?" I answered coldly and Geum Beok-seo stopped talking
I then said "Be patient, the game has not even started yet"
"What?" They were surprised and wanted to ask more questions but I ignored them and instead said "Gon Won-shik"
"Yes sir?!" He asked
"What do you think will be the next move of the demon?" I asked
Just as he was about to use his ability I stopped him and said "Don't use your ability, you cannot rely on that everytime"
"So, what do you think is the best decision for the demon now?"
Gon Won-shik frowned and tried to focus as much as he can before he suddenly know it and was about to say "The Marksman" but was too late
The demon disappeared and appeared before Lee Mi-Nyeo
I shouted "Geum Beok-seo!"
"Hah!" Geum Beok-seo yelled and slashed the demon with his sword but was avoided
"Tsk" Geum Beok-seo clicked his tongue
Suddenly the demon laughed and said "You cannot win with petty tricks like this"
Suddenly I smiled and said "Oh really?"
Haha fool you don't know how many trump cards I have! I thought proudly
"But I know your weakness though" I suddenly said which made the demon and everyone else surprised
"Lies" The demon said but I just smirked
Your weakness is none other than--
"Choi Kwan, Jeong Ji-ho! Attack!"
---The protagonist and the antagonist!
Now the real game had just begun
