Chapter 30: (2): Season 1: Preparation

This way! You freak!

The six of them unleashed their attacks on Cyclops using their respective skills, aiming to draw aggro.

Cyclops, as if enraged, swung its club once more.

Swish!

A shockwave rippled through the air, followed by a deafening explosion. Hyun-seok and his team, including him, managed to block the attack once again.

Cyclops possessed formidable attack power but seemed to have a weak defense. It was categorized as a monster belonging to the low-defense group. Especially, there were occasions when its shield gauge, which had been motionless, rapidly depleted as if critical hits were triggered. Hyun-seok knew that it was not a mere coincidence.

It must be Hyun-seoks power.

Whenever Hyun-seok extended his fists or kicked, Cyclopss shield gauge diminished rapidly. It was evident. Although dozens of people were attacking, it was mostly when Hyun-seoks attacks landed that the attacks truly took effect. He couldnt be certain, but there were moments when the shield wavered due to Hyun-seoks strikes, and it was then that the attacks from other slayers shone.

However the healing doesnt seem to work.

Sung-hyung was pinpointing the main force behind the strategy to defeat Cyclops, and he was focusing on Hyun-seok. Sung-hyung himself was an experienced slayer. The fact that his HP was decreasing at a similar rate to Hyun-seok and the others indicated that Hyun-seok had taken the majority of the damage.

Hyun-seoks HP is at least three times higher than that of an ordinary slayer.

Though Hyun-seok was not familiar with the specifics of augmentation, he knew that the increase was not merely threefold but rather several tens of times greater. Nevertheless, his H/P had dropped at a similar rate, and for someone like Hyun-seok, whose absolute value of H/P was astronomically high, the healing from the current level of recovery Slayers provided was of no use. Depending on the level of the Slayer, a single heal could restore approximately 100 H/P. If a Slayer with 2,000 H/P received 100 healing, it meant that with five recovery Slayers continuously using heals four times, their H/P would be fully restored. However, in Hyun-seoks case, his absolute value reached 100,000, so even receiving healing wouldnt make much of a difference.

Both Hyun-seok and Sung-hyung had similar thoughts at the same time.

The fortunate thing is that Cyclops defense is at a pitiful level!

Hyun-seok also took a more proactive approach to attacking. With dozens of people sticking to Cyclops and launching attacks from various angles, it was impossible to determine who dealt how much damage. But within just a few minutes, Cyclops shield gauge was nearly depleted.

Cyclops swung its club again as if it was enraged. Jang Hyuk-Jun, the team leader blocking the advance of Team 2, shouted, This time, Team 1 will block!

Team 1s H/P was currently at half, despite receiving steady healing. Judging it to be too risky to allow further attacks, the team leader responsible for Team 2 intervened with a shout. However, it was impossible for all six members to change positions in an instant.

Jang Hyuk-Jun attempted to replace each member except for Hyun-seok one by one. The team leaders of each team had heard some information about Hyun-seoks abilities to some extent. It was impossible to proceed with the slaying without at least some minimal disclosure of information.

Hyun-seok gritted his teeth.

Cyclops H/P was almost depleted. Hyun-seoks H/P was below one-third. If he allowed one more attack, he could lose the special skill of his shield, which he could only use once. In fact, without such a special skill, Hyun-seok wouldnt have been able to hold on so desperately. The truth was that his own life was more important than the lives of the other five Slayers.

Cyclops was undoubtedly a monster of bug proportions like in the games. And due to its strength that did not match the normal mode, it came with corresponding penalties. If it werent for these penalties, the Slayers, except for Hyun-seok, would be in a situation where they couldnt even dream of slaying. It is expected that an achievement close to impossibility will be recognized.

Roughly calculating, Cyclopss attack power was around 100,000. There was no Slayer who could block even a single blow of that attack. It was only because of Hyun-seoks partial resilience that Cyclops was unable to continue his assault. If it werent for that, everything would have been wiped out in an instant. In the past, when Cyclops attacked the Slayers at Hwaeumsan Mountain, it didnt strike and rest like this. Based on that, there was no other explanation than that Cyclops couldnt launch rapid attacks due to Hyun-seoks partial resilience.

The Cyclops swung its club. However, it was slightly different from the previous two times. Cyclopss close, verdant body was now stained red.

Whoosh!

A massive shockwave surged forward, even more enormous than before.

Cyclops received a penalty, while the Slayers were granted merit.

[The enraged Cyclopss strike is imminent.]

[A special attack beyond the specifications of Normal Mode.]

[Nullifies all special defense abilities below Normal grade.]

[Cannot be blocked by conventional means.]

An alert tone rang out. It kindly informed that it was a special attack surpassing the specifications of Normal Mode and nullifying all special defense abilities below Normal grade. This was a merit for the Slayers. At least they could receive more information about the attack.

However, to call it a merit was difficult because the club was already approaching, and there was no way to dodge it. Hyun-seok gritted his teeth. It was a special attack beyond the specifications. It was an attack that all the Slayers present, including Hyun-seok, were experiencing for the first time.

Damn it!

The special effect of Sea Support, which he believed in, undoubtedly included a special skill that nullified attacks. But Cyclopss attack nullified all defense skills up to Normal Mode.

However, the grade of Supporting the Sea was Normal. It was a special attack that nullified the special skill of Supporting the Sea. He regretted for a brief moment interfering in the slaying. A special attack that couldnt be blocked flew over his head.
