120 < EP. 27: Monster Raid (2) >

Sometimes you have to decide to abandon your colleagues.

This is a mess.

Jun Fei couldn't keep her mouth shut as she watched the first party collapse at the first stage. I whispered in his ear.

“Watch and learn. If you do that, I'll pretend you're not my colleague, and leave you be. ”

“I wasn't expecting that. And my character can't go forward like that!”

“Are you... a wizard? ”

“Of course! Characters are women, and I named them Mirea!”

Did you get the concept from the great firefighter Mirea? I don't know who's a hot chick.

I shook my head to Jun Fei's smile and focused again on the game screen.

‘From the developer's perspective, it seems like the merchant would rather retreat and protect the pharmacist and the archer, but what are you going to do? ’

However, despite the slow maneuver, the spearer slowly made his way towards the thief on his own.

The thief managed to survive through evasion and potions, but it looks like it's going to be difficult.

At that moment, the archer backs the monster in front of him and starts moving toward the Lancer.

The undead monster family has low mobility, causing the archer to retreat towards the center of the map and shoot arrows at the enemy.

“Apothecary, please turn to the no monsters and go to the thief first. ”

Nakamura gave some instructions to the parties to overcome the current situation, and the archers and pharmacists obeyed him, with the exception of the endangered bandits.

“Khhhhh!! ”

Around the time the merchants and pharmacists were getting close to the bandits. The thief fails to dodge the skeleton-wielding sword properly and falls in blood.

“He's still out there. You can resurrect him in five turns. I'll attract monsters, so please use the resurrection item by the pharmacist. ”

The pharmacist nods at the instructions of the spearer, and Nakamura attacks a zombie looking back in two compartments and pushes it toward himself.

At the same time, the undead, who had lost their target because of the bandits' downfall, immediately started rushing towards the Spear Knight. The spearers and archers retreated gradually from the next turn, but did not stop attacking the undead.

“Glug...”

A series of ranged attacks targeted at a common enemy, the Lancer and Archer. I was able to effectively draw the enemy's attention.

Occasionally, the monster facing the apothecary draws damage from a distance with its arrows toward itself.

By the time the third turn returned to the dead thief, the pharmacist had rescued the thief using a resurrection item called the Angel Wings.

“Oh!!! Got it. Saved!! ”

A rogue player who suffered from his misjudgement that the whole party was in danger repeatedly apologized to his colleagues.

“I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. ”

And the situation that disadvantaged the bandits at the same time as the resurrection turned upside down.

Immediately, the pharmacist charged the depleted spear knight with a potion remotely, and the archer continued to fall into the corner of the map and pull the bow.

The monster Raid, which was placed almost immediately before giving up, was able to win again because of Nakamura's mercenary skills.

“Hey, that's a great party. But you didn't give up on your colleague until the end. Fantastic. ”

Soon the last of the undead fell to the archer's arrows, and the first stage of Monster Raid ended.

“Whoa!"

The first stage that was thought to be easy to get out of fell to the brink of extinction by the bandits, but it was entirely thanks to Nakamura's strategy to reverse it.

Users watching the play applauded the Lancer.

-STAGE 1 clear. -

- Neraiutz -

Neraiutz.), the best discipline player in the stage has returned to the archer. Players who managed to win the game successfully were thanks to the Lancer's strategy, but the number of monsters dealt with was overwhelmingly dominant.

The archer who won the ‘Boots of Swiftness’, a rare item that boosts the wearer's maneuverability as a VIP reward, surprisingly handed this item over to Nakamura, the leader.

“I didn't bring the right items either, so I put my team at risk. This item should be taken by Nakamura, the leader. ”

Then the thief also handed out the items from the treasure chest to the party members.

At the end of each stage, Monster Raid was able to sit around a campfire and have private maintenance time. In addition, according to the judgement of the leader, the raid could have been stopped.

In this case, all the party members were awarded the Stage 1 Clear Medal and were able to start immediately from Stage 2 when they later played.

Of course, players who survived in the middle of Raid were able to retreat, in which case they had to take the risk of significantly discounted experience for all the party members.

After consuming resurrection items, angel wings, and a large amount of potions in the first stage, Nakamura felt burdened with moving to the next stage and offered his party a retreat here.

They'll get the full edition of Dragon Emblem 2 in the future just by participating in the event. After losing a character for no reason, it was wise to go back to town and reorganize.

Although it was only the first stage, Nakamura's party, which showed quite an impressive battle, withdrew from the event zone, receiving applause from the users.

And... our turn as the next challenger approaches.

&

“It's overwhelming. The second party of Kang Jun-hyuk. Complete the first stage with incredible speed. ”

“Oooh!! ”

“If teamwork is right, it's really quick. ”

“I think the party balance is better than that. There are two tankers, so even if the monsters just stick together, it won't hurt much. ”

“I think a wizard with more range attacks is better than that? If two tankers come at us from the front, we'll just melt them into the Fire Wall. ”

“Isn't that a good party balance? ”

“Oh, really? ”

After easily finishing the first stage of a group of Goblins and Undead, we simply completed our personal maintenance and entered the second stage.

Jun Fei, who became a VIP player on the first stage with a powerful level of annihilation, laughed in admiration of the power of the new magic wand.

“I don't have much to do with two tankers...”

Tayama and Miyazaki, who raised the same shield knights, took turns to attract the attention of the monsters and took up defenses. They become a strong wall guarding the party, and they don't let even a single monster through.

Jun Fei was also a maniac who had been playing games for a long time, so he effectively dealt with his enemies using a wide area magic when the monsters were close to him.

And this pattern worked all the way to the second stage. However, the situation changed dramatically as we entered the third stage.

“Is that a Hop Goblin... It's huge! ”

Unlike small Goblins with basic green skin, a variety of Goblins with muscle tone that seemed to burst on yellow skin had broad skill on all attacks as big as they were.

Just so we're clear, can one attack simultaneously strike Mr. Takama and Mr. Miyazaki? Moreover, on the day of a critical blow, the character itself is pushed backwards into a groggy state.

In Groggy's state, the character's moveable behavior is pushed back and there is a risk of allowing another attack on the enemy.

Thanks to this, the busiest character on the stage was my healer.

As an associate, the healer was able to heal his allies and cast a Turn Undead on the undead, helping in some battles.

Jun Fei stood at the bottom of the party and continued to cast flame magic at Hobb Goblins.

Caaang!!! Caaaaang!!!

The two shield knights gave up on the attack at all, following my instructions, and were dedicated only to defending against the attack of the Hop Goblins.

My healer instantly makes the approaching zombies turn undead and restores the HP of the tankers, leaving only Hobb Goblin, the boss monster, no more around.

Then Jun Fei opened his mouth with an awkward smile.

“Does anyone have a Mana Potion...? I'm out of MPs…”

“I told you to save magic on the first stage, right? ”

“Hahaha... Do you have any potions left, Jun-hyuk Mana? ”

“Wait a minute. I'll give it to you next turn. ”

The moment I rushed the character in Junpei's direction, because Junpei was a little too far away from Junpei after killing the Hunting Monster. Rrrrgh!!

- Goblins have fallen into a trap set up in the dungeon. You have lost the Mana Potion X2 you are carrying. -

“Oops!!! ”

We didn't have any bandits at our party, so we didn't have any characters to detect traps set on the map in advance. But to lose two Mana Potions in this time of year, this is a bit deadly.

Hop Goblins still have about half their stamina left, but when Jun Fei, the party's only dealer, stopped attacking, no character would do much damage to him.

“Ah!! A second party was on the verge of attacking the boss monsters as quickly as possible. ”

‘Dammit... I only have one Mana Potion left, but this is not enough to fill the tankers' HP. ’

At that time, Miyazaki, who used his shield to stop the Hobgoblin attack, opened his mouth.

“I have a Mana Potion. ”

“Ew? Miyazaki is a warrior character and you brought a magic potion? ”

“I've got some other players' items, just in case. ”

“I love you, Miyazaki."

Jun Fei transferred the character to Miyazaki in the next turn, and she stepped aside for a moment and handed over the Mana Potion to Jun Fei, who stopped the attack by the Hop Goblins by herself.

“Whoa... Team work.”

“Oh, I'd better keep the other players' items with me, if that's the case...”

The users were amazed at our play and cheered with a deteriorating shout.

Jun Fei, who received the potion from Miyazaki, started pouring out all the magic from the next turn, and I gave her strength while preserving the tankers' HP behind her.

“This is the last time!! ”

With Jun Fei's cry, the flame rising from the ground burns the Hop Goblins. With a huge scream, the screen trembles and the giant's body falls back.

Kuang....!!

“Wow!! Boss Monster Cleared!!! ”

“If the team works well, Monster Raid won't be a problem either. ”

“If you want to play or not, you'll lose some experience, but you can retreat...”

“But if you die poor, you'll have to rebuild your character from scratch.

I find it a bit tempting... that the game is for stress relief, but I thought I might get cancer during the Dragon Emblem trial for a few days. ”

“Well, that's a little...”

“Shh!! Just be quiet for a second. What's on the clear screen? ”

One user shouted, and the president was silent. A message appeared on the screen with a video informing the screen of the end of the trial.

- Thank you for clearing Hardcore Mode of Dragon Emblem 2. -
