chapter 418
418 – Class C Party to Escape
– Oh… As expected, your skills are amazing. How did they find it underground?
– I couldn’t sense it at all. Damn it… Please, monsters, quickly go to the B-class dungeon.
-Should we just do it? I heard that boss-level bosses are blocked by summons. Wouldn’t it be easy?
-They say there are three tunnels. They say there will be close to 2,000 of them, but that alone won’t be easy.
The hunters at the scene had many concerns, but in the end, most of them participated in the boss battle.
A large-scale boss battle with as many as 227 people participating.
This kind of battle is not something that can be easily experienced, and there was tension and excitement on the hunters’ faces that could not be hidden.
‘No one is moving.’
In the end, Yeonhee and I entered the barrier first.
After entering her barrier, she waved her hand in the air, and soon a huge silhouette began to materialize.
Kuuuuung──!
– Heeik?!
– Wow!!
– Crazy?! Um, what on earth is that?!
– Golem, a huge golem!
-What kind of villa did you summon? Isn’t that one guy alone enough?
The hunters who had just entered the barrier opened their mouths and could not close them due to the majesty of the ‘Castle’ summoned by Yeonhee.
“Is the castle being revealed to the public now?”
“Yes. I don’t think it’s a situation where I can fight with any energy left. I need to practice.”
Since information has been collected by ‘Roctor’, there is no need to spare the existence of ‘Castle’.
Following Castle, Yeonhee summoned a combined alpha-level Lizardman, Orc, and Werewolf.
When the Shadow Drake appeared from the sky, the hunters shouted loudly for some reason, and the Wiesel variant, sensing that the atmosphere was unusual, urgently called out a colleague who was cowering underground.
“Ho-oh, you decided that a surprise attack would be difficult and called in right away?”
“Still, we’re way ahead~”
The power that seemed insufficient when Yeonhee’s summoned army was not present has now turned into an overwhelming level.
[Everyone, focus only on the boss battle! If you get caught stabbing your allies in the back, the ‘Reaper’ over there won’t stay still!!]
Arin’s voice spread just before the battle began, and the heads of numerous hunters turned towards me.
I held a huge fireball in one hand and a great sword in the other, and I created a horn on my forehead and spewed out a stream of lightning.
When he transformed into a [Battle type] Wearing flame armor and generated huge red flames from his body, the hunters were shocked and kept nodding their heads as if they were pleading to never focus on the battle.
‘Good. Hunters are done. Weasel, you should eat this first.’
Hwiiiiing──
Kwaa!!
The Wiesels easily dodged the fireball I threw, but the tunnel behind them exploded and dozens of Wiesels were roasted whole.
– Let’s go!!
– Kill them all!!
The Hunter Allied Forces are overwhelmingly pushing from the start, and the Wiesel group, numbering well over 1,000, are nimbly fighting against them.
Wiesel’s variant was moving mainly in spaces where there were no hunters, and he was searching for hunters that seemed to have weak defenses.
‘Where are you going? You guys have to play with us today!’
“Kiyaa!!”
“Tick!!”
I took charge of attacking the guy who had just come out from hiding in the basement, while three alpha-level summons blocked the remaining boss level.
Wiesels are monsters that are second to none in terms of moving quickly.
Needless to say, it is boss-level, and its powerful claws are strong enough to easily split the head of a C-level hunter.
But today, they were unable to do hit-and-run outboxing and were tied to us from the start, which was a sad thing for them.
And that was possible thanks to the existence of cracklings and spotted crabs.
– Kyaa!!
– Chirrrr!!
Although these are not the type of guys that taunts work that well on, stopping their movement momentarily was enough to catch them.
With the two boss-level beasts blocked, the weight of the battlefield began to tilt rapidly.
‘Blood’s berserk, let’s try this one more time.’
The side effects obtained from using [Blood Blast] Are at a level that cannot be ignored.
Magic power and physical strength recovery are greatly reduced, and the body becomes heavy as if soaked in water, reducing all physical abilities.
However, the increase in physical ability while using it was greater than expected, so I tried using it one more time.
Bulging- Bulging-
As soon as you activate the skill, your body overflows with power. I feel like I can smash anything.
Kwaang—!
“Kihehe!!”
When I punch Wiesel in the stomach, she spits out a bunch of stuff from her mouth. The goblin’s leg suddenly falls off, as if it had caught somewhere.
Even though I hit it really lightly, it’s still this high, so I think I could pierce the ship right away if I hit it the way I want to.
Byak-!
Wiesel’s head turns sharply at the successive punches.
Wiesel stumbles as if dancing every time I get hit with my fist.
Hwiik-!
The guy swung his front paw in an attempt to hurt me somehow, but with his headlock in place, there was no way I could get away with it.
Puff puff!! Pow!
Moreover, due to [Curse of the Stone Statue] And [Ferocious Claws], Status abnormalities accumulate quickly.
Wiesel’s body his gradually stiffened and loosened, but at one point, his entire body his froze and he could not move.
‘I didn’t even get hit a few times. Is my body weak, or is the skill powerful?’
Even after several seconds, the condition did not go away, and blood was pouring out of the hole in Wiesel’s face, which was frozen in a mantis-like posture.
– Wiesel’s variant has been defeated!
‘Eh? You’re dead, right? We haven’t even struck the final blow yet?’
After being petrified and paralyzed for so long, did he suffocate? Or is my stamina already exhausted due to blood loss and poisoning?
‘Hey, I wanted to experiment a little more.’
It has been proven once again that the fist I throw has countless bone thorns growing out of it, and that the strike using it is a mixture of various abnormalities, producing a terrifying effect.
‘If you get hit once, you can’t escape.’
Even if they grab you by the neck and hit you with honey, you won’t be able to escape because of paralysis.
Lizardman wait.
I’m going to take revenge for killing my ‘trace’.
A reward came along with the kill message. Normally, all battles are concluded and distributed, but today’s boss battle was really strange.
– Acquired the Speed Rune (Advanced)!
– Acquired the Speed Rune (Advanced)!
‘Oh? Good! As expected, since I’m with Azra, the runes pop up easily.’
I defeated a boss and acquired two high-quality runes.
It may be said that the contribution was high, but it was still a lucky day.
The existing intermediate speed rune and advanced vitality rune were immediately replaced.
Although my stamina decreased by 42.
Rune of Speed (Advanced) Movement Speed +33
Rune of Speed (Advanced) Movement Speed +36
My movement speed went from +17 to +69, and even though I was just lightly running in place, I definitely felt lighter.
Tuung─
Running through the battlefield where a melee unfolds, I look around to see if there is anything unusual.
The ground was full of summons, hunters, and Wiesels and it was confusing, but I skillfully avoided them and continued to provide invisible support.
“Ice Field!!”
Kwaa-
In the distance, you can see Noh Hayun’s long-range magic exploding.
She focused on expanding her range for a while, but with this new power, the probability of applying the status abnormality ‘Freeze’ seems to have increased significantly.
With just one spell, dozens of Wiesels turned into ice statues and were broken into fragments.
-Kyahahahaha!! Ah, refreshing! Gunseop Kim I need to fight that bastard again and beat him like a dog! Oh!
Noh Hayun couldn’t forget that he lost to Kim Gun-seop at Ilseom Guild.
You don’t have to take it too seriously that you lost to a guy who doped, but that’s not his personality to begin with.
‘Anyway, why doesn’t it go away?’
I killed the boss, and in less than 5 minutes, the remaining boss died thanks to the joint attack of three alpha-level summons.
But when the boss is defeated, doesn’t the group of Wiesels that should have disappeared like smoke remain and continue their desperate struggle?
“Hey! Sir, nothing is going back to normal!!”
“Kill everyone at random!!”
“Now that it’s come to this, let’s aim to get into the top 5 in terms of contribution!!”
The C-class hunters were full of motivation.
I couldn’t help but feel excited because running through a boss battle without my life being threatened was not an easy experience.
And it took another 20 minutes before the end of the battle was reached.
“Whoa, that’s the end. Those disgusting weasels. Tsk!”
Wiesel was so persistent that even the confident Noh Hayun shook his head.
But now, all that remains is the saggy skin, looking up at the sky with resentment through eyes that have lost their luster.
I took care of our share of by-products, and [Obsessed] Was busy for the first time in a long time as he was organizing the magical stones that were supplied all at once.
[·······!!]
I guess he’s excited because he’s suddenly given me a lot of work, and he seems to be saying something to me.
Anyway, through this battle, I was able to see the new potential of my colleagues.
First of all, Arin, the leader of our party, surprisingly showed potential for development in the field of martial arts.
I channeled the energy of lightning into my fists and legs and struck briefly, and I saw with my own eyes several times that Wiesel’s head exploded with a single one-two punch.
It was an attack that could never be performed normally.
Perhaps this time, he gained a different possibility by connecting with God.
Hehe.”
I guess I’m so satisfied that I can’t hold back the laughter that keeps coming out.
Bae Joo-ah’s growth curve became steeper from the pastiche dungeon, and she has now learned a new skill that automatically blocks enemy attacks while having two rocks the size of soccer balls swirling around her body.
‘No… I also want a skill like that, not throwing rocks…’
Automatic defense?!
It would be so sweet if I had a skill like that.
“Huhuhuhu… Jipokt is a god… Huhuhu… Ilwol thinks so too, right?”
“Just…”
And in addition to the wide-area magic he showed off earlier, Noh Hayun showed off an amazing fighting technique in the latter half of the game, using [Ice Spear], Which he called ‘Seolchang’, in rapid succession.
The speed increases as it fires, and seeing that it flies towards the designated enemy with high accuracy, it seems that it has acquired a characteristic similar to [Piercing].
It was clearly a special move with one individual in mind, not to deal with multiple enemies, and that opponent would be Kim Gun-seop.
However, the more he fired, the more magic he consumed, and as soon as the battle was over, he fell to the floor.
Lastly, Ham Eun-young’s unique value has increased by 100, so needless to say, the efficiency of his support ability has increased. His range has also become much wider, to the point where he can support all of the hunters participating in this battle.
Her her her her hunters her her her, who received her her her such as an increase in her physical abilities, an increase in her resistance level, and an increase in her magic recovery her her her , were staring at her.
It’s like seeing someone you need to remember.
She had received her buff and many of her hunters she were sitting on her floor her with greatly flushed expressions, sizing up her own chances her.
This is because, with the support of supporters, her abilities exceed a certain level, and through this, she gains enlightenment.
The one who didn’t see any noticeable changes was Yeonhee, but in fact, it wasn’t a number that could be confirmed against these small children, so it was necessary to watch a little more. First of all, I am very satisfied.
Was it because it was a boss fight that was outside the normal range?
Although there was no huge hit with a special artifact this time, the huge success of over 20 high-grade runes being dropped brought smiles to the faces of the participating hunters.
It is the speed rune that is most popular among hunters. I can’t help but like it so much.
And seeing as many low-grade advanced runes were also dropped, it made me wonder if the buff that increased Azra’s luck had an effect on other hunters as well.
‘It’s easy, it’s easy. At this level, I could try that dungeon at Ilseom Guild.’
