Chapter 76
Episode 76
“defended!”
Giorno shouted, and Damian stretched out his arms against the outer wall of the two-meter-deep passageway.
It was the same rune as the defense magic circle that was checked during the trench repair.
Although Damian could not go back to the trench with Hye-eun, the passageway that paved the way between the trenches was also prepared to some extent for an unexpected situation.
[Notice: The defenses in the aisle have been activated!]
[Notice: Advanced protection shield is cast!]
And at the same time that Damian activated the rune, he could confirm that an arch-shaped translucent protection shield spread over his head.
“Kyaaaaaaa!!”
Quaang!
Not long after that, a familiar monster from the darkness fell onto the shield.
“This…?!”
“Many Berthas ghouls spotted in front! As a rule of thumb, over thirty!”
Quaang! bang! bang! bang!
While Hye-eun was stunned, Damian shouted at Giorno.
He didn’t know either.
Judging from Berthas Ghoul’s combat power, the time the advanced protection shield could last was only a few minutes at most.
Moreover, the advanced protection shield that serves as the roof of the aisle did not even have the ability to block the trench on the left side of the 8th Fort.
It could be said that it was an established fact that they would come in through the unblocked passageway of the trench on the left.
‘This nonsense…’
It was the first time in his life even Giorno, who had done numerous reconnaissance missions.
“Keureuk- keuk-!”
As Giorno turned his head toward the other side of the passage extending from the trench on the left, the amoebaking was boiling with blood.
It was a sound I couldn’t tell whether it was laughing or suffocating.
The only thing that makes one guess is that mana is being sucked uncontrollably into a sphere that boasts a smooth surface like that of a bowling ball.
“Kukkuk—kukkeukkeukkuk—kukk—!”
And Giorno could see that the amoeba king’s torso fluctuated as if it were having a seizure, and at the same time, the graphite emitted from the sphere spewed out with even more heated force.
‘I have to stop that first.’
[Night crow]
[Wings sweeping]
Chow ah!
Eventually, it was the moment when Amoeba King was cut vertically by Giorno’s sword.
“Follow the passage to the central camp. The remaining trenches can be checked on the way back to the fort!”
“All right!”
As Giorno’s model was launched toward the passageway toward the central camp, Hyeeun and Damian followed, raising mana.
One o’clock was in a hurry.
He had already experienced how annoying Berthas Ghoul was as a monster.
Moreover, considering that amoebaking was a user’s betrayal, it was impossible to guarantee the safety of not only the left trench but also the other two trenches.
It was an issue that could possibly wipe out all 6 reconnaissance teams including them.
“kegegegegegegege!!”
“Kihehehehehe!”
cooong! thud!
Even the Berthas ghouls pounding the high-level protection shields were enough, and the number of ghouls chasing them through the aisles was too many to count.
If it wasn’t for the speed delay caused by their intertwining, the passage’s advanced protection shield might have collapsed at a much faster rate than expected.
[Notice: The grade of the quest < Night of Berthas Plateau > will be upgraded!]
[Notice: A new quest has occurred!]
Then, a system window notifying the change of the quest began to appear before Damian’s eyes.
[Surprising Expansion]
Monsters began to flock to the 8th camp located on the way back to the fortress. According to the words of Giorno Di Yekachev, the leader of the team, this could never happen. If you want to live, you must leave the camp immediately and return to the fortress.
Category: Epic
Content: Return to Aldeon Fortress within the time limit.
Progression rate: 0% (0/1)
Precautions: Be careful not to die as the level of the monsters that appear is very high.
‘Definitely strange.’
While chasing after Giorno, Damian narrowed his eyes as he looked at the quest window in front of him.
There were some things that could be guessed from the dead amoebaking’s words, but it was because I didn’t understand.
Obviously, Amoeba King said that he had many ‘enemies’ towards him, and that he had been asked to do something about him from here and there.
If it is combined with the function of < Tesaring >, which detects the energy of evil, including the Cross Dawn Society, it can be said that the background of Amoebaking is related to them.
By the way…
“Then why don’t you live a little nicer? Yes? There are many enemies over there. They openly stab you here and there to kill you, but you don’t do it?」
「Ah, that’s okay. Am I on the air right now? Isn’t this enough to get each of them right? Then I think you should thank me.”
Amoebaking had said as if the people who had bought him were watching the broadcast.
Considering that he, too, was naturally targeting himself through live streaming broadcasts.
It was not possible to confirm that the people behind the Amoeba King were either the Crusaders or Aleister Crowley.
It could be said that the cause of the epic quest called < Surprising Expansion > was caused by an artifact of the same type as the Rune of Domination.
It was because the live streaming, where you could see Damian’s every move, was something NPCs couldn’t see or understand.
‘There’s something. Something that connects the Amoeba King and them.’
flash!
And the moment Damian stared at the passage to the central camp and thought about the link between the Amoeba King and the rampage of monsters.
“Kyaaaaaa—!!”
Quaang!
All of a sudden, Berthas Ghouls stomped their feet one after another from the darkness along with a sharp scream from the front, and began flying away.
“Such a fucking foot.”
It was an outcall.
* * *
A pitch-black night when darkness descends.
“Ku-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-ke-ke-k-ke-ke-k-ke-ke-k-ke-ke-ke-ke-ke-kee-kee-kee-kee-kee-kee-kee-keep-
The man was shaking his shoulders in the dark. Even in the blistering wind and extreme cold, he seemed to be enjoying himself regardless.
The square translucent system window floating in front of his eyes and the tense battles flowing from the system window.
– Kyaaak! Kyaaaaaaa!!
– Kieeeeeeeeee!!
And when the real-time video in the system window was filled with the monsters’ voices, and it became impossible to hear, the man tilted his head back and began to rant.
“Ha ha ha ha ha!!! You look good bastard bastard~!!”
It was Mingchen.
“X새끼마냥 도망치느라 정신 없는 모습이라니… 그런다고 도망칠 수 있을 거라 생각하니? huh?!”
Mingchen smiled whitely while Damien’s live streaming was in full swing.
I couldn’t get enough of the joy, so I was shaking my body as if I was feeling catharsis.
The amoebaking bought by Mingchen gave results that were as satisfying as the one I received.
That’s because the purpose is to drive Damian into a corner and entice him to come to where they are located.
Mingchen’s goal of stepping up to Berthas Plateau had been achieved to some extent.
It didn’t matter what happened to Aldeon Fortress.
From the mouth of the already dead Amoeba King, not a single word about himself and Jeungsan Sinup leaked out.
In the first place, unless Mingchen proves his usefulness to the upper ranks through Damian.
It was because I was on the edge of a cliff to the extent that I could no longer operate the Jeungsan New Business.
That’s why Mingchen did not hesitate to hold hands with NPCs in the game that had not been verified at all, while using the items they handed over straight away was just for that reason.
Of course, he was meticulous in his own way, but he wasn’t a person who blindly trusted anyone or anything just because he was cornered.
Ming Chen had activated the sphere of blue cloth as an experiment with the members of the reconnaissance team among the personnel of Jeungsan Shineop.
As soon as it was proven that the power of the object boasted far greater efficacy than he thought, needless to say, he made the decision to use his remaining funds to hunt Damian.
“Are you all ready?”
“Yes brother!”
“Where is that bastard?”
“Sooner or later he will come here. There is no other way than here.”
So Mingchen listened to Laifeng’s briefing with one ear, while narrowing his eyes at the faint sound of screaming under the moonlight.
It was because, as he said, the search route from the 8th camp to the fortress was so rugged that if it wasn’t here, a new road had to be built.
“Hmm~. That little bastard won’t die easily. If it was a guy like that, we would have already lost it.”
“I wonder if there are other children as well. A girl and another…”
“Wasn’t there a kid who said that shadow sword or something?”
“yes. It is said that among crows, he is excellent at using a sword.”
“Don’t be alarmed. This is where it really matters.”
“Yes bro.”
As Laifeng moved in, Ming-Chen turned his gaze over the mountain peaks.
The night air was so bad that I could feel it even without saying anything.
boron jade (崩玉). The artifact they gave to Mingchen.
In Mingchen’s hand, there was a purple jade identical to the one Amoebaking was holding, wrapped in a dark cloth, and Mingchen felt the aura of graphite emanating from the jade and unconsciously grabbed his hand.
It was a bit different from the thrill that amoebaking felt.
The power of this jade, which destroys reason and makes one be attracted only by the magical energy emitted by the sphere, is a terrifying object that absorbs all the magical energy and vitality of the owner if misused.
Even as an adventurer like Ming Chen, it could be said that it was an artifact that required careful handling.
「Warning. If you handle boron jade randomly, like a three-year-old child wielding a kitchen knife.” “ Even if you are
an adventurer in the other world with an immortal body, it could cause serious bodily disintegration.”
There is no such thing, and the power generated by the jade is not simply a magical synergistic effect caused by mana.” “
Well, maybe it’s not that important to you, but….”
Perhaps the collapse of the body is so severe that you cannot access the game again. saying that it may cause
That is why it is said that you should never handle it at random, like a three-year-old child wielding a kitchen knife.
Those words were applicable to all of Jeungsan Industries, including Mingchen, but, like their words, they were not very important to Mingchen.
It could be said that the fact that he did not bother to convey the fact to Amoeba King, who entrusted the request, was just one of the things arranged for this moment.
Big gye!
Is there anything else in the world that is more important to Mingchen at this moment?
“…come.”
Before long, the corners of Mingchen’s mouth convulsed and began to rise.
