Chapter 558

Episode 558 First Clear (3)

A formation where each occupational group stands at a position determined after careful consideration.

A melee dealer was placed between the distant dealers, and a strike team made up of knights also existed on the side.

It is not a one-size-fits-all formation where long distances are located in the rear and close ones are only in the front.

Everyone was positioned to ensure maximum stability and to act strategically in various situations.

I was no exception.

Kwak.

I am standing right in front of the stone gate.

For reference, there are no colleagues around.

And that’s what it means.

“…”

From now on, I have to endure alone against that monster.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there are any complaints.

I agree that this is the best way.

[Grrr…]

The beast in the story, which appeared through the stone gate, let out a low cry and looked down at me as if searching.

Well, it might be surprising to him that only one person is standing there holding a shield.

‘It’s a twist.’

Is it really because it’s the first level I’m dealing with?

I’m nervous without knowing it, and strength goes into my joints.

However, it is also a characteristic of the barbarian that the stronger the enemy, the stronger the fighting spirit.

Kwak.

I looked up at him as I energized the hand holding the shield.

Twice as big as me in the [Giant] state.

Considering that it is a four-legged beast, it should be seen that it is actually several times larger.

However, when combined with such a huge body and the dark red mist that spews out around three tails with red fur and eyes that seem to come out of mythology, it gives off a mysterious atmosphere.

But what do you mean?

“Is this your first time seeing a barbarian?”

Like a dog that has been listened to by people, the guy tilts his head slightly.

It was the best time to start a battle.

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Therefore, spit out a battle cry and [swing] with all your might.

thud-!

I hit the bridge of his nose with full power, but unfortunately, he didn’t budge as if it tickled him.

However, was the first bread judgment properly applied?

“…!”

It was impossible to follow exactly with the naked eye.

When I came to my senses, its huge mouth was grabbing my shield up and down as if it were going to eat it.

Apart from the emotion of surprise, laughter came out.

A normal shield would have turned into a piece of scrap metal the moment it entered that muzzle, but my shield is different.

‘That’s indestructible, bastard.’

Even if it’s a 1st class monster, it can’t pierce the indestructible option attached to the single number.

The problem is that I’m lacking in strength too.

‘Huh? Fuck…!’

Soon after, he bites the entire shield, lifts me up, and shakes his head like crazy.

I thought I would get motion sickness, but it was crazy to put a shield here, so I held onto it as hard as I could and held on.

Fortunately, supporting fire was soon followed.

「The deformed Basilus cast [Gaebyeok Sphere], a first-class attack magic.」

A first-class attack magic completed by the chief wizard of the exploration team by sucking out the magic of dozens of wizards.

!

A flash of light flashed and when I came to my senses I was rolling aimlessly on the floor around me.

I quickly stood up and checked the center, and I saw a guy who was seriously damaged.

[Goooooooooooooo—!!]

The guy who got hit on the back leg, his hair was all burned and his legs were limp.

But I was very fine.

Of course, it was a first-class magic that exploded right away… but

there was no such thing as raw meat like in the bloody fortress.

「Damage inflicted by an ally in the bonded state.」

「The light of trust protects the character from that damage.」

I already cast a binding magic with my grandpa.

This is why the number given to ‘trust’ is 12.

Not receiving damage from allies is a huge benefit in this world.

‘I have to gather mana and sing again, so the next bombardment will be in about 3 minutes.’

So from now on everyone has a lot of work to do.

3 minutes is not a short time against a level 1 monster.

“Kashan has cast [Three Eyes].”

The three tails it possesses spread out and the eyeballs at the tip open wide.

And…

Pewung! Pew! Phew-!

It fires beams like the railgun seen in the movies.

‘The left tail is a magic deal, the right tail is a physical deal, and the center is a mixed deal, summoning a token mob.’

Remembering the effect of each tail, I blocked the beams as hard as I could.

「Defense successful.」

「Aegis barrier absorbs all damage.」

「Defense succeeds.」

「Aegis barrier absorbs all damage.」

「Defense succeeds.」

「Aegis barrier absorbs all damage.. ..」

Originally, they all turned to me, probably because of the skills that hit indiscriminately and the threat level was high.

But…

“The character loses balance.”

While I was blocking it well, my feet suddenly slipped and my posture collapsed.

Then, aiming for the gap, the beam hits the body.

Fortunately, I wasn’t seriously injured…

“Increases all damage taken by the character by 10%

. ”

You shouldn’t accumulate too many overlaps.

‘Damn luck.’

A mistake I would never have made normally.

But I don’t feel guilty or embarrassed.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t a mistake, it was the effect of his skill.

A [Ominous Prophecy] that fixes Luck at -200.

In combat within this aura, this happens many times.

Just like this.

[Evasion failed.]

The blow I thought I had avoided was pierced into my body.

“A fatal blow.”

“The damage received by the character is greatly increased.”

My arms go numb and my joints go out in an attack that should have ended.

and in the meantime.

“Kashan has cast [Defeate Life].” A

translucent red thread is pulled out from the bodies of all the explorers in the library and connected to them.

The only recovery he has.

As there were more than 200 people in the hall, his injuries healed quickly, but he had already learned how to respond, so it didn’t become a big problem.

Coincidentally, 80% of our melee are knights.

“Cut the line!”

“Come! Use your aura!”

As soon as the thread was connected, the knights who had been placed here and there cut the thread and stopped the guy’s recovery period.

The threads, which usually require more than five or six hits to be removed, were cut in an instant in front of an aura with 90% effect of ignoring physical resistance and exorcism.

‘Okay, then the recovery period is over.’

There is a cooldown, so you have about 2 minutes left until you take out the next recovery period.

“Charge!!”

As soon as the commander’s order was issued, dozens of knights drew their swords and rushed at him.

But is it because they have been together for over a week?

I was still anxious that I might turn into an enemy at any moment, but I still hoped in my heart.

“Nia Lapdonia…!”

I hope you will survive a lot.

***

Seokkok Fuwook-! Aaaaaaaang-!

Kashan’s skin was ovulated in real time by long-distance dealers with high-level firepower and high enough firepower to be selected as a member of the exploration team and the aura of knights who were sure of only one deal.

It was a strategy that would never have been possible under normal circumstances.

Starting from the 1st grade monsters, the required threat level increases like crazy.

‘When the threat level is over 500, all monsters attack the wearer first.’

If it weren’t for the ‘Aegis Barrier’ with the above effects, even now, the knights would have been chewed up by its teeth and claws every moment.

‘Still, the firepower is good, so I don’t think he would have managed to catch it without me.’

Oh, of course, after the death of about 100 people.

How many troops did you save thanks to me alone?

I hope the Commander will also recognize my exploits.

「Kashan cast [Fire of the End].」

At that time, a red shadow began to fall on the floor.

It was the one we judged to be the second most dangerous as we prepared for this battle.

“Evacuate quickly!!”

At the same time as the deputy commander who acted as the operator made a loud noise.

Aaaaaaaaaagh-!

A pillar of fire rises in the shadowed area for about 1 second.

In fact, a wide-area period that is almost instant.

‘That’s the direction where the Raven is…’

The moment I turned my head for a second to check it out, I saw Raven being dragged out, caught by Einar’s collar, among the wizards running away in a panic.

‘Huh… I’m fine.’

However, it was too early to be completely relieved.

Because [Fire of the End] is a skill with extra hits.

“Magicians, deploy barriers!”

As the sub-commander’s order continued once more, the wizards assigned to each mission activated their protective barriers.

Unlike the first hit, the damage of the additional hit is much lower, so it is possible to block it with a barrier

…

A barrier is formed around the center of the pillar of fire.

And…

To-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-du-doo-

The forces in the rear urgently enter the barrier to avoid the pouring down rain.

Unfortunately, there were those who failed to evacuate.

“Oh, no…!”

“…Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

An archer whose job it was to help a mage and his evacuation. The two of them melted and disappeared while being swept away by the rain of fire. And the knight who saw the death of such a colleague gritted his teeth and shouted.

“Two fighters below Elton Farseer in Group 2 and Quillcon Battlerun in Group 3!”

The soldier’s judgment that the report of the war situation takes precedence in any situation.

‘Let me focus too.’

In fact, all skills of level 1 monsters should be regarded as instant kills.

Even the beam fired from [Three Eyes] would disappear in one hit if the dealer was hit instead of me.

People don’t die if I do my job well.

Yeah so…

“Behel—laaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Cast [Wild Eruption] to raise the threat level once more, then cling to him.

and how long has it been

“Brigade is complete!”

“All strikers, step back!”

As the magic was completed, the knights who were surrounded by me all retreated back.

so one more time.

—! S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The level 1 magic fired hit the guy’s body accurately.

But this time it was a more lethal position.

「Kashan cast [End Fire].」

At the same time as he used another wide-area skill.

「Kashan cast [Death Sentence].」

He brought out a new skill.

When running the simulation in advance, it was the one that had already been judged to be the most dangerous.

***

[death sentence].

It may sound like an instant scam, but strictly speaking, it is not an instant scam.

It’s just that the effect is similar to that.

「In proportion to the Luck value, the next damage inflicted is greatly increased.」

Damage amplification according to the Luck stat.

‘The damage amplification of [Death Sentence] is 200% per 10 Luck.’

Just 1st class pure performance.

However, the problem here is the luck stat that Kashan has by default. As a result of long research, Kashan’s lucky number reaches about 500.

That’s what it means.

‘10000%.’

If so, it should just be considered dead.

The average hit of a 1st grade monster was so powerful that even a top tier knight could die with one or two hits.

Even me, who raised a lot of physical resistance, would break my bones if I couldn’t block it with a shield. Of course, if you properly ‘guard’ with your shield

, you can block it without any damage…

「Successful defense.」

「Aegis barrier absorbs all damage.」

I guess

‘After…’

Fortunately, the first [death sentence] was successfully prevented.

Is it because they know that there is no guarantee that the next one will happen?

Throb-thump-thump-!

My heart is pounding and my legs suddenly lose strength.

Forced into my legs, I counted the number of reps left.

‘Three to four times.’

Three times if you can knock it down quickly.

If it’s a little late, four times.

The number of [death sentences] I have to receive in the future.

‘Can I block everything properly?’

Thinking about that, I smiled.

It didn’t matter if I could block it or not.

Even if I can’t block it, I will endure it.

Even if its limbs are torn and its intestines burst, it does not collapse and fights back.

Wouldn’t that solve all the problems?

“Kashan has cast [Defeate Life].”

Then, a large-scale battle that he experienced for the first time in his life continues.

Everyone does their best in their respective positions.

“Kashan has cast [End Fire].”

Nevertheless, the pillar of fire rises and reports of the dead continue, and the fact that the names of my comrades are not in the reports is the only comfort.

「The poor Basilus cast the 1st grade attack magic [Gaebyeok Sphere].」 The

third completed magic was already stuck in his head.

As befits a first-class monster, he still moved perfectly and relentlessly aimed at me.

“Defense success.”

“The Aegis barrier absorbs all damage.”

That’s how I was lucky to block the second [Death Sentence].

「Kashan has cast [Crossing Destiny].」

The guy casts a skill that he draws when his health is below 50%.

Piyung-! Pew! Piyung-!

Even in the midst of this, the ray from the tail still flew at me and occasionally failed to defend and stuck in my body.

Damage received increases and curses stack.

“Plague wolves rush towards the most densely populated area.”

A monster in the form of a token is summoned.

In the meantime, the [Fire of the End] burst out at my location.

It’s impossible to dodge because he’s rushing at you.

「The character’s HP is below 20%.」

「Due to the passive skill [Hero’s Path], all resistance and resistance levels increase.」

Her whole body seemed to melt, but it didn’t actually melt.

The flesh was grilled and ripped off, and the organs were cooked, so it was difficult to breathe, but thanks to exorcism, instant death was avoided.

And then I don’t fall

Shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!

While receiving the priest’s healing, grab your shield and move forward.

and that moment.

「Kashan cast [Death Sentence].」

The third [Death Sentence] was cast at the perfect timing.

“…”

For some reason, I felt as if time was slowing down, and my mind accelerated.

There was only one question in my head.

‘In the current state.’

If I get hit by that, will I be able to survive?

After asking and answering myself, the answer was very simple.

can’t survive

Just as 1 plus 1 equals 2, this is a natural cause and effect.

As soon as he realized this, his eyes turned white.

But time never stopped.

[Successful defense.]

[The Aegis barrier absorbs all damage.]

Within seconds, the front foot of the swung guy slams the shield down.

It was properly blocked without any misfortune, such as a

sudden

fall.

Did you really really survive?

“Keuhuhuh…!”

Oxygen is supplied through the open mouth.

It seems that I even forgot to breathe.

When I take a big breath in at once, it feels like my lungs, which have not yet recovered, are on fire.

Thump thump thump!

Of course, in the meantime, my heart was beating like crazy.

and that moment.

「Erwen Fornaci di Tercia summons [Dichloe, King of the Dark Spirit].

」

The time has finally arrived for the intensive bombardment to mobilize all the remaining forces of the exploration force

.

How to call a variable because it always comes at an unexpected moment.

“Uh…?”

The legs that had been stretched forward for an instant were pushed forward as if they had stepped on something slippery.

“The character trips and falls.”

When I woke up, there was only one thing I could see in front of me.

Not the ceiling of that high library, but the snout of a beast that was aiming at me.

Agghak Agjak.

Soon the sound of him chewing my whole head off.

The sound of gigantic teeth scraping against my skull.

Hearing that sound, I thought.

‘It might be surprising.’

The sensations are clear, but there is no particular pain.

“The character’s brain has been seriously damaged.”

“The character passes out.”

That was my last memory.
