I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 35
Chapter 35
– Teleport!
A blinding flash lit up the entire space. In one short instant, Song Hoon’s body moved away from the monster, and a fairly decent distance. He took his magic wand in his hand and directed it at the owner of the forest, flying to the place where he had just been.
– Curse of magic resistance! – shouted the magician.
Purple rays immediately hit the monster’s body. Curses can cause various effects, but here it was necessary to take into account that if the creature’s resistance to magic is strong, then the spell will not work on it.
Meanwhile, the monster turned around and rushed towards the guy.
“Fool, your efforts are useless,” the wizard chuckled to himself.
– Teleport!
And again he was transported very far, but the monster did not give up. He began to create black spears around his body. Sharp blades flew in all directions, and several pieces of these deadly needles flew to the place where the hunter had moved. All this was happening so quickly that there was not enough time to deploy the magic.
We urgently need to put up a shield. The guy ducked as best he could, trying to avoid hitting the needles. At the same time, he pointed the rod forward, but did not have time.
Black spears, moving with great speed, covered him. Burning pain suddenly cut into the body in several places at once.
– Oh, my hand … – the guy examined the place of impact ..
The needles were a huge danger, but fortunately, his bones remained intact. This is because he spent a lot of time and mastered the technique of strengthening the body.
– What a freak! – now the wizard was angry in earnest. – I had only to relax! ..
Now he realized that he had underestimated the strength of the enemy.
– Speed up time! Strengthening physical strength! Aura! – the teams followed one after another.
Due to the strengthening of physical strength, all the muscles tensed, and thanks to the acceleration of time, everything now proceeded very slowly.
The whole body is warmed up – this is a normal aura of the body strengthening technique.
Like lightning, the wizard began to descend from the sky towards the monster. As if in slow motion, he saw him turn to him, and, creating steps, begins to climb towards him.
But due to the applied magic, it seemed that the monster was barely moving. In fact, he was moving pretty fast, just that Song Hoon’s speed was several orders of magnitude higher.
Moments later, the hunter was close enough to the puffing creature. He turned a little and, flying past the monster from the side, took up the rod.
– Cutting force!
A beam of light emanating from the wand ripped open a huge carcass. There was a crackling sound as hard scales shattered. Then the beams cut across the body of the monster.
Green blood poured in a stream, falling from a height down like a waterfall. A huge cut appeared on the thirty-meter body. The wound was so large that one could see the throbbing insides of the monster.
– Lightning bolts of destruction!
The bolts attacked the roaring creature’s body.
– Die at last, your mother! – the hunter swore.
The body of the master of the forest twisted in the air. The steps that he created from material similar to obsidian disappeared, and the monster itself began to rapidly fall down.
With a deafening roar, his carcass hit the ground. A cloud of dust rose, everything trembled so that one could think that an earthquake had begun.
His writhing body slowly began to die away like a flame.
Song Hoon stood on the back of the still twitching monster, folded his arms and closed his eyes.
“I think my character has changed a lot lately,” he suddenly developed a craving for introspection.
In a past life, he didn’t act like that when he was angry. Thinking about it, the magician laughed.
– Well … That’s not bad. All the same, I am me. In a past life I was, and now I also remain myself.

Dungeon Clearing Reward: Metal Box]
“Wow… The reward is pretty generous.
Song Hoon immediately wondered what was inside. Each time it was more interesting.
The magician grabbed the box, which hung in the air.
“Inventory,” he called.
A window immediately opened in front of him. He now had fourteen slots in his inventory. The wizard threw the box in there and looked at the corpse.
– I still have to take this thing apart …
It is difficult, and reluctant, but there is one way to simplify your life a little.
– Call!
The magician again summoned the spider-golem and he began to deal with the corpse. At this time, a large portal appeared in the air.
It was the way out.
***
“It’s been four hours since we started reporting, but neither monsters nor Awakened Lee Sung Hoon appeared from the dungeon. At the moment we are near a portal in a high-level dungeon … – said on camera a reporter of one of the TV channels.
On TV, there was talk about Lee Sung Hoon entering the portal on Yoido, and a debate on the topic was broadcast on the displays of tall buildings. This situation was so important for all citizens.
“ Song Hoon is certainly an unusual guy, but will he be okay for sure?
– Yes, it’s okay, it’s Song Hoon-oppa.
– For you it may be oppa, but for whom ajussi. Our age difference with him is not that big …
Kim Do Jin, Min Ye Yeon, and the rest of Team Alpha sat in the waiting room and watched TV.
– Last time he did everything alone, without us. It will be all right, “said Xing Sang Jin.
I nodded.
“I know, but I’m still worried…” Min Ye Young muttered.
The picture on the screen changed. A man appeared from the portal.
– He’s out!
– He’s not hurt?
– At first glance, it seems not …
– We need to call! Lee Gi Suk should be there if we call him …
In an instant, everything turned into chaos. On the TV screen, reporters were seen running towards Lee Sung Hoon who had exited the portal.
The whole environment was as agitated as Min Ye Young’s feelings.
***
– Fuh …
Still, the air on Earth is much better than in the underground. Definitely better.
– He’s out! Awakened Lee Sung Hoon is coming to us! The portal has started to close!
– An amazing moment! The portal is closing! The dungeon has been cleared!
– The world’s first Awakened to clear the dungeon alone!
And here and there screams were heard. The journalists were reporting very noisily.
The hunter looked back and saw the portal begin to narrow.
The boss is now dead, the mana crystal has been obtained. I wanted to take some more things from the dungeon with me, but there was not enough space in my inventory. Well, what can you do? Next time, he will expand it.
The magician looked around again. Reporters ran in his direction, but the police stopped them. However, they missed one person – it was Lee Gi Suk.
– Song Hoon, you did it! – said the executive director enthusiastically.
– I told you I can. The presence of colleagues would only hinder me, ” Song Hoon replied.
“Oh-oh …” Lee Gi Suk breathed in admiration. – You are just an impressive Player! So what kind of monsters were there inside?
– I will explain this a little later. Now I would like to rest …
– But still this is such a historical moment, maybe at least one interview? – persuaded the representative of the company. – Do me a favor, please.
The guy thought about Lee Ki Suk’s words.
“Hmm … and being famous can do me good.”
“Okay, then let’s get started,” he agreed.
– I’ll see you, – the executive director fussed.
– It is not at all necessary …
Accompanied by Lee Gi Suk, the hunter entered the temporary structure that had been prepared for the interview. It was a huge tent, with chairs already set up around a long table.
The guy had seen such places for interviews only on TV, but now everything was done especially for him. It’s pretty nice.
Song Hoon sat down in the middle and Lee Gi Suk next to him. Reporters began to fill the room quickly.
In a past life, the magician had no experience of such interviews, and his feelings now are ambiguous. Everyone around was acting rather fidgety.
After some time, the interview began.
– The awakened Lee Sung Hoon is pretty tired from the battle, so we will only accept one question from each journalist. If the situation escalates, we will be forced to interrupt the interview.
Lee Gi Suk explained the situation and everyone in the audience seemed to understand.
– Well, then let’s start with the first row.
– J News Newspaper Reporter Jo Myung Hoon First of all, I want to congratulate you on the successful cleaning of the dungeon. You are the first Awakened in the world to close the portal alone. What are your feelings?
What can you answer to this? Some stupid and useless question. But I have to say something.
– I’m pleased with myself. I thought I could handle it, and I did it. Although I acted alone, I was still able to successfully complete my work. Now I only feel a sense of satisfaction.
What is the question, so is the answer.
“Next,” Lee Gi Suk pointed to another reporter.
– Reporter Oh Dae Ki from K News. I would like to thank you, as a citizen, for the work done. Couldn’t find any survivors inside the dungeon?
“I’m sad to admit it, but I couldn’t find them. However, I found the belongings of the deceased, – said the hunter.
In fact, he took out the boss in about one hour. After that, I wandered around for some time in search of, but time was running out, the portal could close.
In one place, a hunter came across the things of the Awakened. He did not see the corpses, but their belongings remained. Most likely, the bodies of the dead were eaten by monsters.
“HD Group will take over and send things to the families of the deceased,” Lee Gi Suk announced.
“Ah…” the K News reporter admired these words.
– Next.
– What place was this dungeon?
– Hmm … – the hunter wondered how to better describe the impression of the portal. – How can I explain … Something like a poisonous swamp mixed with a wild tropical forest. As soon as you get there, the breath immediately spirals.
– How in a place like this … – someone began.
– Enough. Next question.
The wizard answered a few more questions, and at the very end told the last reporter:
– I want to tell you about my personal observation.
All present pricked up their ears.
– From my own experience, the biggest enemy in the dungeon is not so much the monsters as the environment. The dungeon I entered this time was filled with poison. But there are others with a different environment. It could be lava, it could be the underwater world, or even space. Therefore, if you do not have any information about the dungeon, you need to be prepared for various situations. I think it would be a good idea to prepare a suit-like spacesuit. He could protect the Awakened and prevent them from perishing.
After finishing his speech, Song Hoon stood up from his seat.
