Chapter 30: (1): Season 1: Preparation

The Legion of 80 marched into the battle against Cyclops to slay, garnering worldwide attention. Among the 80 members, approximately 60 were Combat Slayers, while the remaining 20 consisted of Recovery Slayers and Support Slayers. Even at this moment, individuals were rallying and providing support, one by one.

Slaying a monster as formidable as the Cyclops required risking their lives, yet countless Slayers still volunteered their assistance. Of course, the Battle Slayers refused to accept any aid.

Excessive numbers, especially those lacking in skill, proved to be a hindrance to both slaying and teamwork. However, the situation was different for the Support and Recovery Slayers. Their role was to assist the Combat Slayers from the rear, regardless of their abilities, by healing and replenishing HP, enabling the Battle and Recovery fields to unfold.

As the Normal Mode progressed and classes diversified, there were those who possessed skills related to the Buffer or Debuffer categories. Although their levels were not particularly high, having them was undoubtedly better than not having them at all.

However, when it came to debuffs in this slaying, skills that adversely affected the monsters, their usage was prohibited to avoid drawing excessive aggro. Only buffs were permitted.

There were around 30 Slayers assigned to the front lines. The primary weapon for Cyclops attacks was a massive club held in its right hand. Although the monster itself, standing over 5 meters tall, was already a fearsome weapon with its thunderous footsteps, it was observed that it mainly used the club when attacking humans.

The 30 Slayers immediately formed groups and began to move. It was impossible for all 30 to collectively block the Cyclops club. They formed teams of six, creating five groups that worked together organically to defend against the Cyclops attacks. Even if six people joined forces to block an attack, they might not be able to withstand it two or three times, perhaps not even once.To safely slay without any damage to their HP, they needed a defense power of approximately 300% of the usual impact value. However, Cyclops had a minimum of over 10,000 defense power. Considering that the magical power value and the impact value were roughly similar, it meant that at least 30,000 defense power was required to safely defeat Cyclops.

However, the club that Cyclops wields to attack humans can be easily blocked by about six people at once. Slayers beyond that number, even if they want to block, cannot due to physical limitations.

On average, top-level slayers had a defense power of about 3,000 to 4,000. With six people, the defense power reached around 20,000. Whether this defense can actually withstand Cyclops attacks remains uncertain.

In fact, this was only a computer simulation, and they hadnt actually collided. Based on this level of power, it seemed like they could have this level of attack power and that this level of defense power could block it. They only knew to this extent, as it was only an analysis. According to the analysis, combining the strength of six people would likely be able to block the attack about two to three times, but it could be different when it came down to the actual battle. After all, data was just data.

While one team blocked the attacks, the healer poured in healing from the back, and another forward team waited to replace the heavily injured slayers.

Sung-hyung spoke with a resolute expression on his still youthful face.

Hyun-seok, your team is the first.

Yes.

Im counting on you.

Both Sung-hyung and Hyun-seok knew. If Hyun-seok couldnt block it, the other Slayer teams wouldnt be able to either. In that case, they would have no choice but to retreat. Hyun-seok was also nervous. Until now, he had only engaged in easy slaying. He had never faced a life-threatening situation. However, that creature in front of him was an opponent he truly had to be on guard against.

The Slayer team in the vanguard consists of about thirty people. They are currently walking towards Cyclops, risking their lives.The determined force that marches towards Cyclops, who is still asleep. Proud warriors of South Korea are taking heavy steps forward!

However, the journalists who had gathered to catch the exclusive story were pushed back by the soldiers, disregarding their lives. From now on, filming and broadcasting were strictly prohibited. The journalists protested, but due to the soldiers forceful intervention and coercion, all live broadcasts were canceled. It didnt take long before the reporters were expelled from the broadcasting station. The citizens were left unable to watch the real-time coverage.

Hes clearly struggling due to the recoil!

Monsters possess recoil in their shields. Thats how it works. Hyun-seoks current attack power exceeded 50,000, and his defense power was close to 48,000, which is also near 50,000. Considering the pure defense power and the increase from items, it exceeded 55,000. Taking into account that Jong-won, known for his top-level attack power, had around 5,000, it could truly be described as an astounding figure.

Hyun-seok quickly finished his situational analysis. Hyun-seok wasnt just someone who mindlessly increased his strength stat. His intelligence stat was also high. At the very least, he understood the current situation.

The damage is clearly distributed based on the Slayers abilities! Its a penalty!

Otherwise, the current situation couldnt be explained. Even if they managed to disperse the damage through simultaneous attacks, it wasnt a typical scenario.

That thing also has some kind of penalty, just like me. Hes a monster that surpasses the standards of the normal mode.

Currently, Hyun-seoks defense is around 55,000. Assuming that the defense of the other slayers is on average around 3,000 to 4,000, it could be said that Hyun-seok alone absorbs more than three times the amount of damage compared to the rest of the team combined.In addition to that, my H/P stat is incomparable to others. Nevertheless, I received damage in the same proportion. Its without a doubt that damage is distributed not only based on defense but also on the H/P value. Undoubtedly, Cyclops faces tremendous penalties.

Most slayers experienced a decrease in H/P of about one-third. Hyunseok was no exception. His gauge also dropped by about one-third. However, Hyun-seoks one-third is not the same as the ordinary one-third. His one-third amounts to an astonishing 33,000. Considering that the average slayers have H/P of around 2,000 to 3,000, he managed to endure a shock ten times greater.

Moreover, with a single attack, even though Hyun-seok successfully defended, his H/P was reduced to such an extent. It clearly meant that this Cyclops was a monster far beyond the standard of normal mode. Perhaps even a boss monster of higher caliber. Its attack power could be called that of a bug monster.

But the problem is I can only block it about three times.

Now is the chance. The creature is momentarily catching its breath due to its recoil.

Struggling against this level of recoil its defense is significantly lower compared to its attack power and speed. Its a typical offensive monster with weak endurance.

At this moment, they must strike. The slayers assigned to attack began assaulting the Cyclops. The team, including Hyun-seok, who took the vanguard, shouted,

This way! You freak!
