Chapter 279

Episode 279 Whirlpool (5)

“For some reason, it felt like it had to be that way!”

Uh, I think this was a seizure button for some reason.

Before the conversation got too long, he cut off and changed the subject.

It’s feedback towards each other, so we can do it later.

“Oh so what’s next? What should I be careful of?”

Saying that, he hurriedly clung to Stormgush and held out his shield. Then Raven had no choice but to stop berating me and continue his explanation.

“The next one is the [Dragon Vein] ability. When used, the ground turns red… Oh now! Mr. Yandel, avoid!!”

Stormgash’s second active skill [Dragon Vein].

Whoops-!

A blip forms beneath the subject, and a column of air bursts shortly after.

Just like this.

Whoops!

After that, I almost got hit by writing it all of a sudden.

“Stand back everyone! There’s going to be a [vortex] coming out of the hole soon.”

Anyway, [Dragon vein] is characterized by not only a powerful momentary deal, but also spewing out [Whirlwind] at the point where there is a hole.

For reference, the name and effect used by the mid-boss, Queen Siren, matched perfectly…….

Whoa!

If you get hit by that, you will be in a state of floating in the air until your colleagues rescue you, and MP will be taken away in proportion to the time.

Well, if it’s my weight, I’m immune to airborne…

‘But still, MP is taken away.’

should be avoided unconditionally.

Especially if you’re not a heavy kid like me.

“Everyone, stay away from each other!”

The first dragon veins were created around them, and the difficulty of the battle increased significantly. In the midst of this, the radius of action was reduced due to the need to avoid the whirlpool.

However, this pattern also has an easy solution right now.

“From now on, I will fight while moving!”

You just have to move your seat.

After all, there is only this baby left on this island.

In fact, the entire island becomes a boss room.

There is no reason not to take advantage of the wide given field.

‘……Actually, this method won’t be very useful.’

This is one of the tricky things about this guy when he’s short on deals. If you keep using [Dragon Vein], eventually the map will become narrower.

But in the meantime…….

“Huh? Why is the seawater here…”

Due to the nature of Parune Island, after the fourth wave started, the sea level gradually rose and eventually all but the center of the island were submerged. .

“Mr. Yandel! It’s a big deal! The water is getting higher and higher! What should I do?”

what to do, what to do

You have to fight while moving.

“We head to the center while maintaining the formation as it is!”

Fortunately, no one questioned my instructions.

They didn’t come up with a better way or think of a better way.

「Stormgash cast [Tyrant’s Roar].」

Anyway, even while fighting and moving like that, Stormgash used new skills.

“Ersina-sama! That’s what I said earlier! Hurry and purify!”

Although it decreases in proportion to Exorcism or Spirit level, it is a crazy wide-area [Tyrant’s Roar] that ‘stuns’ in a radius of 10m for up to 2 seconds.

I hit the counter lightly with the purification of the priest.

「Stormgash has cast [Storm Clan].」

A berserker that temporarily increases regeneration and body values?

“Everybody stay away!”

I just endured it all and endured it.

Instead, the shield and armor went further and there were holes all over the body… But

that’s enough to endure with the priest’s heel.

‘Equipment…… I’m going to break some money to repair it later.’

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel sick, but considering that I’m raiding a level 3 monster, this is acceptable.

Cancer Life is more important than money.

“Foot stamping! Everyone get away!”

Stormgush repeatedly used the four skills alternately, and over time, the team members became proficient in his patterns.

But it’s too early to be relieved.

He has three more skills that he hasn’t used yet.

‘Damn it, level 3.’

This is the crucial difference between 3rd and 4th grade.

There is a clear difference from the basic stats as well as the number of skills they have.

In addition, monsters of this level tend to have unique abilities as well as skills that come out of essence.

Like the dark magic of vampires, for example.

‘For him, that was a weapon skill.’

In-game, critical hit rate, evasion defense success rate, etc. ‘Weapon skill’ that had stat corrections in many battle items.

Stormgash had a high weapon skill level.

Is that why?

‘He writes a spear with great enthusiasm.’

The spear stabbing is very fierce on the subject of monsters.

It’s not just pushing with force, but should I say it’s a mixed feeling? Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

‘Anyway, I’ll start using the remaining patterns when I run out of stamina…’

“Have you heard of Mr. Yandel? It’s all dangerous if he starts using that ability. Somehow, I have to think of a way now… !”

screaming.

I’ve already thought about it.

As soon as the explanation was over, I waited because I thought it would look suspicious if I came up with a countermeasure.

Plan A and Plan B.

Again, there are two plans.

The best is A and the second best is B.

The only problem is…….

‘variable.’

This plan is impossible to eat raw.

In the future, we will fight intensified battles that could not be experienced with low-level monsters.

And…

someone unlucky gets hurt.

Or maybe die.

I just wish.

I know it’s selfishness wrapped in altruism.

Even so, if someone has to suffer misfortune.

‘Patzran Ersina Nebarce Amelia.’

please don’t be us

“I have nowhere to run now!”

When I re-engraved my priorities.

Patzran shouted.

Shaaaaaaa-!

Water was rising in the direction they were moving.

It was impossible to escape by boat.

Hundreds of tornadoes have sprung up around the island since the first wave ended.

‘……If this is enough, it can be said that more than half is locked.’

I don’t have much time now.

“Move over there!”

I led the group toward the center of the island, taking the largest possible circuit route.

And I asked my colleagues for one thing.

“You need to inflict as much damage as possible on him.”

It will be difficult, but we will fight harder.

“Do you have any plans?”

Amelia asked, and I explained the plan I had laid out without hesitation.

“…You said you came up with such a plan just by listening to the wizard?”

At my explanation, the male prosecutor made a strange expression.

“But will it be? It sounds like a far-fetched and risky plan from what I’ve heard.”

The priestess expressed concern.

And…

“Bjorn is a great warrior! He knows how to fight better than anyone else!”

Einar did not miss the opportunity to boast about me to others and shouted.

“Again… are you the only one trying to play that role?”

Misha had said that she would be with her, chanting sadly somewhere.

Of course I didn’t allow it.

Apart from caring for Misha, this was the most efficient staffing.

If so, how about the evaluation of Raven, which is synonymous with efficiency?

“It’s not a bad plan, especially in case it fails.”

yes you are ok too

“It’s not a nonsense voice. It’s okay, do as you say.”

Since then, even Amelia, who was most worried about me, agreed to my plan and relieved my burden.

That part surprised me a little.

I never thought that I would accept the role so readily.

As soon as I raised my doubts, Amelia said something unexpected.

“Your words have power.”

huh?

“I see what you mean.”

Patsran, who had been arguing with Amelia the whole time, nodded.

“You didn’t despair at all when I said that a 3rd grade monster came out.”

It’s just that I’ve known it for a long time…

“Maybe those who decided to follow you that day felt this way too.”

The Goddess also mentioned what happened in the Noark War on the 1st floor.

“Bjorn, the son of Yandel. A giant who opens the way ahead of anyone else and a man born with the mission of the times.”

Even if you say that, I don’t know.

It’s just mind wandering.

It’s not like he showed anything sublime in front of them…

“In a situation where I couldn’t be sure of anything, I was sure when I saw you safely reunite with your colleagues. Your destiny follows you.”

Ha, that’s why they are religious people.

“……What are you talking about?”

A sigh comes out.

He would be the same, Amman hero, no matter what, I know my true nature. Just a moment ago, even if they died, we were praying inwardly for us to be safe.

But…

‘why are you doing this to me.’

The warrior’s heart beats heavily.

Is it the barbarian’s instinct to live up to expectations?

“Behel—laaaaaaa!!”

Okay, let’s do battle.

Before feeling a greater sense of responsibility towards them, he gave himself up to battle and emptied his head.

「Stormgushes cast [Eye of the Storm].」

This is it again.

“Everyone get out of here!”

As soon as the whirlpool raged, I clung to him and started holding it.

Whii-i-i-!

A violent storm that is difficult to discern even an inch ahead.

I had a sudden thought.

After all, wind is just wind.

Even if I prayed for a hundred days, I couldn’t decide who would die and who would survive.

Kwaaang-!

It’s like this whirlpool.

What will be at the end of the wind’s ride and flow depends only on the sky.

“Mr. Yandel, there is nowhere to retreat now.”

After blocking the [Eye of the Storm] pattern once more and moving a little further, the center of the island appeared.

An empty lot that seems to be hidden in the bushes.

A white stone pagoda in the middle.

Even the dark bloodstains sparsely located on the ground.

Just yesterday, I prayed that everyone would be safe, and I spent an eternity of time.

“Water is pouring in from all sides!”

The entire island except for this one sank, and now the sea could be seen everywhere.

「Storm Gash cast [Dragon Vein].」

As we came all the way to this place, [Vortex] came out from the hole Storm Gush made in the floor, mixing with water and swirling around us.

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

If it was a game, I would have been satisfied.

It’s a majestic atmosphere suitable for a boss fight.

coo-!

Soon, Stormgash arrived in front of us and slammed the staff of his trident into the ground.

「Storm Gash has cast [Rain Prayer].」

One of the remaining three skills that starts to be used when HP drops below 70%.

‘Okay, blood management seems to have gone well.’

It’s time to see the match.

***

[Rain ritual].

One of Stormgash’s three core skills.

The effect is simple.

thug thug.

it is raining.

For reference, if you get hit by the rain, your regenerative power and overall body value will greatly increase, while the characters will suffer from various debuffs.

Of course, this is a minor issue.

Because the real thing is in the next pattern.

“Everyone, what are you doing! Follow the plan!”

Starting from my shout, everyone who limited the rear rushed at him like crazy.

this is the same for me too

[Koo-oo-!!]

Unlike before, I really did not spare my body and rushed at him.

That’s right, our plan was this

judge.

As soon as [Rain Prayer] is used, hit all the damage and kill him at once.

So, there is no reason to give up.

Does that mean that the more injuries you accumulate on your body, the easier it will be for your teammates to deal with you?

Pooh-!

Soon Mr. Bear’s arrow pierced his hard shell and dug deep.

Even so, the inner flesh wouldn’t be hurt that much…

「Abman Urikfried cast [Hungry Claw].」

Those arrows deal continuous damage.

The more the number of arrows stuck in it, the greater the burden on him.

Then it was Misha’s turn.

「Misha Karlstein cast [Enhancement]」

「Misha Karlstein cast [Cold Condensation]」

As always, Misha [Enhances] [Cold Condensation] and increases the value of Cold Sensitivity, which is a coefficient for cold damage. made it

And also unlocked the Active Authority of the Soul Beast Glacier Beast Scadia contracted with the Frost Spirit Ring

「Misha Karlstein cast [Absolute Zero].」

[Absolute Zero].

After receiving the reward from the royal family, after drinking dozens of bottles of ‘blood of the beast’, he newly acquired the second power.

「The character’s first hit unconditionally causes the abnormal condition ‘freeze’.」 Shortly

after, white frost formed on the sword and Misha swung the sword at him.

The hit part is the right arm of the guy holding the trident.

support position.

His forearms froze.

Of course, because of his high exorcism and his large body, only his arms were ‘frozen’, but…

in the first place, these were all build-ups.

「Misha Karlstein cast [Ice Crushing].」

An active skill that increases damage to enemies in a ‘frozen’ state. In addition, the 5th grade skill obtained as a royal family reward was added.

“Misha Karlstein has cast [Mutation].”

“Agility value is temporarily converted to strength value.”

That skill that Misha, who lacks strength, will be able to use until the second half.

Quaang-!

The second blade of Misha, a dual-wielding swordsman, struck the frozen creature’s arm.

But was it only the skin that was frozen?

support position.

Fragments splattered like ice breaking, but his thick arms were intact. Well, it’s even weirder if you cut the arm of a level 3 monster with a single knife just because you poured it all out.

“I’m next!”

As soon as it went mad and aimed at Misha, Einar rushed in and slashed the sword at the broken wrist.

But…

kakak-!

It was not enough even when the cutting power surged with [Wild Control]. He dug deep into the flesh, but soon got caught in the hard bone.

[Koo-oh-!!]

“Ah Einar!!”

It rotated its body as if protecting its arm and hit Einar with its tail.

‘Shit.’

That seems like it would be difficult to get up after getting hit, no matter how Einar was…

That’s the scary thing about a 3rd grade monster.

Even if it’s not a skill, each normal attack is fatal…

「Stormgushes cast [Eye of the Storm].」

Nimiral Are you using this again?

Tadat.

At the same time as I dashed forward, my colleagues backed away.

And in that state…

“Behel—Laaaaaaaa!!”

Hold even if you die soon.

After 5 seconds, which felt exceptionally long, the whirlwind dissipated.

“Get out of here, mister!”

Oh, now you are ready too.

I quickly moved aside to avoid being disturbed by Erwen.

That was the moment.

「Erwen Fornaci di Tersia cast [Concentrated Fire].」

A 4th grade essence obtained as a reward from the royal family.

In proportion to the casting time, MP is consumed exponentially, and the skill that increases damage correspondingly has been completed.

But did you hit all the MP?

The momentum of the light cluster on the arrowhead is unusual—

Whiit!

At that time, Erwen let go of the string and the arrow was shot like a flash.

Aaaaaaaaaagh-!

The point of impact is the upper abdomen of the bastard.

It seems that he was aiming for a place where his heart might be.

The head is also a vital point, but it is difficult to hit it.

[Ooooooh—!!]

Stormgash let out a roar as if in agony.

But moving was fine.

Unfortunately, the arrow did not seem to have pierced his heart.

It wasn’t too sad or anything.

Even if you hit it, it would have been difficult to kill it in one shot. Level 3 monsters don’t die instantly if their heart is pierced…

“Huh?”

Then, for the first time, Stormgash was in motion for the first time.

「Storm Gash cast [Storm Call].」

It was a skill used when HP was at 40%.
