Chapter 67
Episode 67 Field Boss (3)
Tuduk Tuduk Tududuk –
A black rain that makes your skin itch just by touching it.
i know what this is
[Rain of Despair]
The passive aura skill of Liakis, the lord of chaos.
「The character is receiving continuous damage from the chaos property.」
「The character’s exorcism is greatly reduced.」
「Warning: When continuously exposed to chaos property damage, the status abnormality [Confusion] is applied with a certain probability.」
This skill not only deals wide-area damage, but also makes the terrain affected by rainwater into an erosion zone and removes all types of field effects.
That is to say.
‘Nimiral……’
I couldn’t believe it, but it really came.
“No bastard! He’s here!”
“Hey man! What the heck! Come on, don’t go stop him!”
Panic arises among the explorers on the third floor who have paid the protection fee.
And focus your attention on one place.
“You’re not going to abandon us and run away!”
“Didn’t you take the equipment to protect it! Take responsibility!”
Emotional shouts from dozens of people.
The cadre of courtesy, who had announced as a representative in front of the crowd several times, sighed deeply with a bitter smile.
“…So that’s how things end up.”
It’s not that I don’t understand his current state of mind.
As long as they received protection money, their only option is to confront the hierarchical lord with all their might.
However…
“This expedition will be very costly.”
Surprisingly, there was only confusion on the executive’s face, but there was no sign of anxiety or nervousness.
After catching his breath, he cried out in a loud voice.
“The Lord of Chaos, Liakis, has arrived! Take out all the things you prepared!!”
Instructions echoed loudly.
As a result, those who have the Dzarwi Clan pattern engraved on their chest move in perfect order.
“Each team to each location!”
Wizards, priests, and ranged dealers to the center.
Melee warrior explorers head outward.
And they start using all kinds of consumables without hesitation.
「Used advanced stamina auxiliary scroll」
「Used energy regeneration auxiliary scroll」
「Used the number item [Sun Lord’s Flag]」
「Ersium’s light dwells in the weapon…… .”
「…….」
「…….」
Various doping-type magic scroll consumable number items and various types of equipment auxiliary consumables.
In just one minute or less.
Consumables worth at least 10 million tons become light and disappear.
“There are enough supplies, so don’t spare them! We’re going back with at least one more person alive!”
I thought I underestimated them.
Now that I see it, it wasn’t a lack of imagination.
They already had the worst in mind and were fully prepared for the future.
‘Nevertheless, the fact that I received the protection money…’
I guess he literally just bet on that side.
Because that’s a little more likely.
Food –
For some reason, I laughed without knowing.
‘As expected, there are too many efficiency bugs in this world.’
You need to be a little more humble.
These must have been people who risked their lives countless times to become explorers and reached what they are now.
But it must have been luck to get to that position.
“To always carry this much material…”
“As expected, it’s a large clan!”
Rather than contempt, we should always be vigilant.
Rather than being jealous, it would be more efficient to find something to learn from the report.
“What are you going to do now, Bjorn?”
“What should I do? I’ll have to wait and see.”
In the first place, that was the original plan.
As long as you run into the hierarchical lord, you have to take a big risk just by leaving this place.
Well, if there’s no correct answer, I’ll have to jump out right away, even at the risk of
it, but…
As if to prove this, a wall of fire surrounds us in a circular shape.
It’s not an essence skill, it’s just a magic spell.
“The spirit of chaos has been destroyed.”
“The location is being eroded.”
After it started to rain.
The spirits of chaos, which began to rush in like a tidal wave, could not penetrate the barrier of fire and were destroyed.
Woo-woo-!
In addition, the huge barrier formed above the head blocked even the pouring rain.
Well, that’s all that can be blocked with a wall of fire or a barrier, but that’s all.
“Look over there, Bjorn!”
From where Misha pointed, a huge shadow slowly grew in shape.
Accompanied by a heavy earth quake.
coo-! coo-!
Horns sprouting from the top of the head.
Thick, rough-looking black leather.
An ominous aura shimmering above it.
[Goooooooooo—!]
Monsters that make you lose your sense of distance A beast the size of something out of a movie easily crossed the barrier of fire and revealed its shape.
“That’s right……”
“Ho, this is Liakis, the lord of chaos!!”
The crowd backed away in fright at the sight, while the clan members remained calm.
“Stay where you are! Never let it face backwards!”
Warriors defending their positions silently, as if fighting large monsters was their daily routine.
Wouldn’t you like that?
Quaang-!!
The battle started in earnest when Riakis slammed his front foot down.
***
What about real raids, not in-game?
The answer to a long-held question in my heart was indeed simple.
“Never try to block it and avoid it unconditionally! Got it!”
Melee dealers, as well as tankers, thoroughly avoid head-to-head combat and deftly dodge swinging tails or slashing claws.
After all, they probably know best.
No matter how hard your body is and your strength level is high, you can’t be an opponent in a power fight with a monster like that.
‘Is the actual battle with the monarch class like this? Interesting.’
Is it because it is a role that I have to play someday?
Certainly, the focus is on the battles of close-range explorers rather than on the line of wizards or dealers.
There are a lot of things to see and learn.
There were also several scary scenes.
Kwaaaang-!!
No matter how much you try to avoid it.
In a battle with such a high-ranking monster, there can be no injuries.
Normally, if you get hit by a blow like that, you’ll die instantly
instead of
being injured…
They were already a single weapon, with their stats inflated with countless essences, various scroll doping, and support from priests and supporter-type explorers.
“Aaaaaaaa!!”
“Sir, I almost died!”
Warriors who get healed even when their whole bodies are smashed and return to the front line.
Of course, not all were like that.
“Damn it, I wasn’t such an asshole……”
“Don’t look away and focus on the battle!”
The battle lasted for a long time and many people died.
One melee fighter died instantly from being crushed by his feet, and three ranged dealers who were united by Liakis’s breath melted in an instant.
But if you calmly analyze the current situation…
‘So far it’s stable.’
“Bur, four people have already died… isn’t it dangerous?”
The reaction of the explorers on the 3rd floor. Anyway.
Still, the warriors are holding up well on the front lines.
The combined magic of the mages was also powerful enough to push back Liakis, who was approaching the center.
‘It seems that he is clearly aware of the Dark Sphere pattern.’
“Let’s watch this for now! But it’s not the famous Dzarwi clan! Would you mind doing something?”
A black orb creeping up from the eroded ground and heading towards Liakis.
「Lord of Chaos, Liakis draws the power of the source.」
These, which I worried the most, were also blown out of the air by ranged dealers before being absorbed by Lyakis.
“Stop the attack!!”
“He shouldn’t feel threatened anymore!”
Also, it was clear now that he stopped the firepower offensive in the middle and even managed the life force of Riakis.
They know how to attack.
‘So I guess I’ll just hold on somehow. It’s the end if we enter the second phase without that item.’
“Why are you stopping the attack right now? Are they all just fools? When you catch even a little bit of momentum, you’ll be sure……”
Well, in a way, it was natural.
A deceased person who played [Dungeons and Stones] for 10 years?
You don’t know anything about this game?
What does that mean?
It is just arrogance to think that I alone know everything in this world.
Labyrinths have existed for thousands of years.
It wasn’t like the world view in the game, but that was the reality for the people here.
You had to go in to make a living, and there must have been a lot of trial and error.
And this must have been handed down as a record.
‘Although only a handful of truly valuable knowledge is monopolized.’
Of course, don’t worry too much.
The ‘hidden elements’, which were exceptionally difficult to discover even in the game, seemed to be barely recognized by the people here.
Knowledge as a deceased person will still be my biggest weapon to survive here.
Click.
I opened my watch and checked the time.
[22 : 37]
Before I knew it, more than 3 hours had already passed.
Even in the prolonged battle, the clan members did not lose their concentration and faithfully performed their respective roles.
But…
‘It doesn’t matter how much I’ve collected for protection until I’ve used that much of the consumables.’
Suddenly, it seemed like he knew why the large clans didn’t hunt the hierarchical lords even though they knew how to attack.
It’s not that the subjugation reward isn’t small… but
the huge amount of money that goes into it.
The possibility that an elite member could die.
In addition, even if it fails, there is an enormous risk that comes back.
‘Young Suji won’t fit.’
It was a time when I was thinking like that.
Kwaaaang-!
For some reason, Riakis ignored the warriors and rushed into the center, crushing five ranged dealers in an instant.
A situation that can happen enough during a raid.
Fortunately, the warriors put their energy on Riakis and put it back to its original place……. but
two melee dealers died instantly in the process.
‘Still, I’ll be able to hold out for the rest of the time.’
I analyzed the situation again.
A total of 11 people have died so far.
It is a number that reaches 20% of the total power, but the remaining personnel are doing what they have to do without panic.
Even if there are some gaps.
Not to the extent that it would lead to a fatal outcome.
The problem is that there are plenty of bastards around who can’t even make such simple judgments.
“Wrong! You incompetent bastards!!”
“I know how many people have died!!” It may not have been that they stepped on the erosion zone and fell into [confusion], but
panic broke out again among the crowd
.
11.
This is only counted based on the actual combat power of the clan members, because whenever Riakis did something, the explorers who paid the protection fee also died countless times
.
It seems to me that he’s raiding right next to him, and it’s wrong that he’s engrossed like an idiot.
But even
if I
say that ,
he won’t
listen. . Are you thinking about it?”
I looked around as wide as I could.
The clan seemed to have not yet noticed this sign as they were focusing only on Riakis. And in the
meantime , a man raised his voice loudly and lit a fire in the confusion.
We can’t see it. Let’s all work together to survive!”
It was Jack Fletcher who took off his gear before anyone else and paid for protection.
“Do you know how many people have died already? They can’t protect us. We must defend ourselves!”
“That’s right!”
“But how can we…”
“We have to get it back! Aren’t those guys also unable to properly keep their promise anyway?”
At his instigation, the death squads that had turned away from him last time also helped out and grew in size out of control.
I muttered briefly,
“Misha, prepare.”
“What do you mean, prepare? ”
“I’m leaving this place right now.”
This place is already gone.
***
As soon as I quickly grabbed my backpack.
As if it were a riot, countless explorers rushed to the center where supplies were stored.
“Everyone, calm down! If this happens, everyone will be in danger—”
Only then did the clan realize the situation, but…
it was already too late.
“Don’t be ridiculous!!” “Give me back my
equipment !”
As soon as they get caught, the explorers start to pack supplies
. It’s mine!!”
“There’s no such thing in this situation!”
“Get out of here! If you don’t back down, I will attack!”
“Death this way, die that way, it’s the same!”
“What are you hesitating about! From now on, they are looters! Destroy them all!”
Suddenly,
seeing the chaos and madness, I erased the last remaining lingering
feelings
.
“I’m going to go through it.”
I’m going to
go
through
it.
I’m going to hit it with my body like a barbarian
. I’ll wear it, but that’s it.
It’ll get better with just
acupuncture
. Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—!”
After
picking up Misha with both arms, I held it high as if in a
hurrah .
My skin still tingles even after piercing it in.
I asked,
“Misha, are you okay?”
“Thanks to you, I’m fine. Instead of that, look ahead!”
I put Misha down and looked ahead to see the spirits of chaos swarming around.
However, there’s no time to go and deal with them one by one.
“It runs
.
” ?”
Still, they found us one by one around them and were moving their bodies slowly. Therefore,
I quickly
ran through them before they attracted more aggro
.
After running at full speed for about 5 minutes,
the surroundings suddenly became dark. It was
literally a darkness that made it difficult to distinguish even an inch ahead
. “Isn’t
Bjorn
there?!
” ?”
Instead of answering, I let out a big sigh. The situation
was clear without any analysis
.
