Chapter 274

Episode 274 Defense (4)

After coming to my senses, I started by apologising.

“I’m sorry about the wizard earlier.”

Hans J, who had almost been strangled by a teammate during the battle, looked disapprovingly at him, but accepted the apology.

I know it myself.

The fact that if there is a disturbance in this group right now, my life is in danger.

“…I apologize, so I won’t comment more on this in the future.”

After the wizard accepted the apology, Partzran also stepped in and helped to sort the situation out.

“Bjorn Yandel, I won’t blame you. It’s not like I can’t understand that feeling. To be honest, Sir Aulok made a mistake earlier.”

“What are you saying, Partz, I made a mistake? I just said what I had to say.”

“……But the way I said it was not good.”

Unexpectedly, Patsran spoke from my side.

Well, since you’ve been beaten by someone who’s been diligently looking for a colleague, why don’t you stop now?

There’s no barbarian who doesn’t get mad after hearing that.

“Keuheum, this story ends here.”

“Yes, I think that would be better.”

I suddenly got annoyed again, so I gnashed my teeth once without realizing it, and the conversation was over.

Even thinking about cancer, it was a good thing.

I didn’t know if I talked more, the situation from before would repeat itself.

“Then what are you going to do now?”

At some point, Partzran’s way of speaking, which used to use Hao Che, returned to the way it was before, but I didn’t catch it because I had done something wrong earlier.

“As I said before, first of all, I will rest until the barrier is over.”

“After that?”

“Find a better spot and stay there. Just as Raven said.”

“I see. I understand.”

After the rough plan was decided, everyone put their tired bodies on the floor to replenish their stamina.

How much longer has it been like that?

“The divine care will soon end.”

“That’s right. You worked hard. Wake up everyone.”

After time passed and [Declaration of Destruction] was lifted, they searched the area as planned and found a suitable spot for defense.

The back side is a cliff, so only the remaining three sides need to be blocked.

“Behel—laaaaaa!”

We stopped the monsters there.

Contrary to my innermost worries, there was still nothing to be dangerous about. Since the event started on the highest difficulty level, even a more difficult situation was in mind, but…

“Bertia Sevnu Hellhavens!”

The magician’s activity was great.

Well, should I say Hans J’s performance?

Originally, wizards exert great power in quantity warfare. And Raven did a good job as a wizard.

However…

「Hans Aulock cast [Chain Lightning], a 4th grade attack magic.」 It was

nothing compared to Hans J’s performance.

Chichi support position. Puff-!

Every time the magic is cast, monsters with a 5th grade color will die or become faint.

At least a dozen of them.

‘……Enable the chain lightning chants in 15 seconds? What the hell is he?’

I had doubts about the exploding high-level magic, but when I asked Partzran, who had been fighting alongside me for a while, I heard a surprising story.

“Oh, did you not know? Oulok is a 4th-class wizard of the Benocton School.” seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Benocton School, which focuses on the study of elemental magic.

Even there, a 4th grade wizard who is in a position to do something.

‘Somehow the equipment looked expensive.’

When I found out that he was a more skilled wizard than I expected, I was worried that something annoying would happen later, but I decided to think about that part later.

Yeah, what if I’m upset?

I am also a noble.

It means that no matter where you go, you will not bow down with your identity.

“Ercina, set the barrier.”

“yes.”

Anyway, Hans J’s performance is also active, but in fact, if we were to choose the person who contributed 1 for this defense event, it would be the priest.

「Lairin Ersina cast [Declaration of Destruction].」

If it wasn’t for this, there wouldn’t be time to rest.

“Mr. Hua. Come here. I have a sleeping bag here.”

“thanks.”

Even if we block monsters, if we start to get a little out of strength, we immediately set up a barrier and replenished our physical strength and consumed MP.

After reorganizing to some extent, release the barrier and resume hunting.

It was when I repeated this for about 4 more hours.

“The second wave of fury has begun.”

The second wave has begun.

***

Tuduk Tuduk.

Raindrops fall from the sky and soon turn into strong streams of water.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

A stream of rain that falls coolly like the rainy season.

“……rain?”

Colleagues were taken aback by the change in weather, which they experienced only in the city but never experienced in the Labyrinth. Of course, the team called Parts, which had been active on the 6th floor for a long time, was different.

“Why does it rain at a time like this…”

He wasn’t taken aback by the rain itself.

But…

“It’s going to be difficult.”

He clicks his tongue and wrinkles his face.

Everyone knows.

How tricky it is to rain in a labyrinth.

Vision narrowed only by rain itself.

In the meantime, the rain water runs down my eyelids and makes it difficult to concentrate.

Also, if exposed to rain for a long time because the blade is cold, hypothermia may occur…….

It is easy to miss the weapon with wet hands.

There is not a single thing that can be considered a good thing.

“This bothers me…”

Everyone sighed, saying they had no luck with this strange coincidence, but I was different.

The reason is simple.

Do you know that luck has nothing to do with it?

‘I’ll be back in about 30 minutes.’

The fact that it began to rain is evidence that the second wave has begun.

A mid-boss will appear soon.

It’s his characteristic to target the one with the largest number of people first.

“Everyone, don’t go too far and stick together and fight!”

After giving instructions, I adapted to the changed environment by fighting monsters until the mid-boss arrived.

Shaaaaaaa-!

Rain in a labyrinth that I have never actually experienced before.

‘It’s much more annoying than I expected.’

The floor is slippery and the ground is sunk due to mud gathering in some places. While that alone distracted them in many ways, the rain-soaked monsters swung their claws vigorously like fish in water.

Kwak-!

In case I missed the mace, I swung it several times more than usual.

Time passed like that, and now it was around the time that I started to get used to fighting in the rain.

“Hey Mr. Yandel! Over there! Over there!”

A huge lizard appeared from the front.

[Goooooooooo-!!]

Guano-seed Serpent.

A Tier 4 monster that walks on four legs, has brown moss-covered scales and a plump tail.

The biggest feature is [stench].

「The character has been exposed to [Smell].」

「All continuous damage effects are doubled, and while exposed to [Smell], you are immune to ‘Purification.

」 skill.

“Ugh! Ugh…!”

Like the monster that we usually call a dung lizard, everyone spit out retching the moment he came.

‘What kind of smell…’

A strong [smell] enough to make even a barbarian with a strong stomach faint.

I held my breath and raised my concentration.

First of all, it’s a 4th grade monster like the Siren Queen, but the situation is completely different from that time.

‘……Let’s be careful not to make mistakes along the way.’

Monsters all around.

Unlike the queen, who needs a summoned mob to exert its power, this one is strong by itself.

In the meantime, we’ll have to distribute the number of people.

I quickly split the group in two.

“Patzran Einar, don’t mind this side and stay there!”

First of all, the two, who are melee and avant-garde, are marks dedicated to trash mobs on the left and right.

Just in case, Hans J and Mr. Bear also gave instructions to focus on dealing with rubbish mobs rather than boss battles.

And the rest…

“Everyone come behind me!”

It’s kind of an attack tactic.

The goal is to kill the mob while the mob survives.

[Guooooooo-!!]

Soon after, the guy who was watching the liver from afar charged forward with his horned forehead, and I took his head with my shield and the battle started.

The battle itself was okay.

「The Serpent, Mr. Guano, cast [Plague of the Sea].」

The summoning pattern, the self-destruct spirit, was cut by Erwen and Raven’s interception.

Pew-!

Well, I got a status ailment because of the blood that was scattered when the spirit exploded…

“The character is infected with [scurvy].”

“All healing effects are reduced by half, and you continue to take poison damage.”

That’s enough, just hold on with the priest’s heel.

“Guano-seed Serpent cast [Deep Sea Prayer].”

“Guano-seed Serpent cast [Sink].”

“Guano-seed Serpent cast [Rain Prayer]…”

“…. …”

The rest of the patterns this guy had were not too different.

Some with magic, some with divine power.

Another one…

“Behel—Laaaaaaaaaaa!!”

With the ignorant body of a barbarian.

The battle continued by enduring the patterns.

Of course, there were no major incidents, but the process was not easy.

“Hey Mr. Yandel! You should avoid that!”

The Guano Seed Serpent is a monster famous for its large blood pressure. Of course, the battle had no choice but to be long, and there were several dizzying situations.

「Erwen Fornaci di Tersia received damage that exceeded the allowable amount.」

「[Elementalization] is canceled.」

At the end, Erwen took damage and was unable to fight, and had to use half heal throughout the battle. The divine power of the priest was completely exhausted.

Of course, it’s nothing to worry about now.

Because I managed to catch it.

「Guano-san serpent has been defeated. EXP +6.」

At the end, even Hans J came over to the capture group and scattered lightning magic. After that, his massive body leaned over and fell, and soon it became light and scattered.

And…

“Have you done it… Huh?”

Everyone tilted their heads at once.

“Uh huh?! Hey Mr. Yandel!”

“It’s an integer!!”

Essence dropped.

***

Level 4 monsters are rare even on the 6th floor.

First of all, you have to go far away by boat to appear, and even there are few objects, so it is impossible to hunt dozens of them a day like a 5th grade monster.

Simply put, it means that it is difficult to supply and demand purified water.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen a rank 4 essence.”

A strange feeling began to appear in the eyes of Partzran, who rolled over and over on the 6th floor.

It’s not even the essence that a beggar can eat.

‘Even if I come out later, this is……’

I erased my regret by clicking my tongue briefly.

Although there is no one on our team who can eat this Essence, it is not a bad Essence based on its value alone.

If you go out and sell it, you’ll make a lot of money.

“Put the Raven Essence into a test tube.”

“Ah yes!”

At my instruction, Raven moved quickly and took out the test tube from subspace.

And the car that was moving to contain the essence.

“Wait a minute. First of all, I think I should ask if anyone has something to eat?”

Partzran stepped forward and restrained Raven.

It was an unexpected situation for me.

Because over there, there are only wizards in the priesthood. Even if he bids

, he’s the only part for the parts…….

Oh, that’s what I wanted to say.

Yes, there is no way the swordsman would try to eat this essence.

“Don’t worry. I plan to sell the essence and divide it by the number of people.”

“Hmm then that’s it.”

Soon after, he told me what he wanted, and he backed away without saying anything.

This is the end of the distribution problem.

“I’ll put it in then?”

Raven asked one more question while holding the test tube and went through a final confirmation, and everyone nodded.

That was the moment.

“By the way, did it stop raining?”

“The situation is unfortunate. Perhaps the rain was also related to the Guano-san Serpent.”

At the conversation between Patsran and Hans J, I involuntarily raised my head to the sky and stood still.

The guano seed serpent was defeated and the rain stopped.

Nothing has been a problem up to this point…

“Wait… what is that? It feels like it’s getting closer…” A

black flying object falls vertically through the dark clouds that have started to clear. and was spitting out fire.

“It’s Drake!!”

Nimiral.

Spitting curse words inside, I shouted.

“Prepare for battle!!”

The Seungnyang has arrived.
