Chapter 77

Episode 77

“Balestra rose!!!”

Cheer up!

As Hye-eun’s epee was shot toward the front, a red petal-like aura flew like a blade.

It was a unique phenomenon caused by Chevalier’s attack skill < Balestra Rose >.

The aura of the red petals that flowed along the sword force became a sword and aimed at the head of Berthas Ghoul, who was blocking the front.

It wasn’t until after the Berthas Ghouls, who had been attacking Hyeeun’s ferocious attack, dug in between their foreheads like the petals of < Balestra Rose > splitting the tofu.

I was able to realize for myself that Hye-eun’s attacks should never be underestimated.

“Kreuk...?!”

Whoa!

It is also true that Hye-eun’s red petals had as excellent penetrating power as her epee, but what was even more frightening was that the aura exploded after penetrating.

“Backstab!!!”

“...?!”

And Hye-eun quickly tilted her back 90 degrees at the roar that resonated behind her, while feeling several objects passing over her stomach.

It wasn’t hard to hear a roar erupting in front of her.

[Witch doctor]

[Corrupting Potion]

It was Damian’s < Corrupting Potion >.

“Go forward like this!”

Chow ah!

When Damian’s < Corruption Potion > formed a temporary space, Giorno’s broadsword cut the air in half and shouted.

It was a frighteningly accurate shot.

At first glance, Giorno’s flash attack, which seemed to split the space in two, did not blow all of Berthas Ghoul’s heads off.

It was strong enough to cut trees and dozens of ghouls on both sides of the search in one blow.

Among them, while the ghouls whose limbs had been blown off tried to transform, the 6th reconnaissance team, including Giorno, began to explode the heads of the fallen ghouls one by one without anyone saying anything.

[Notification: < Berthas Ghoul > has been defeated!]

[Notification: < Berthas Ghoul > has been defeated!]

[Notification: EXP obtained!]

[Notification: EXP obtained!]

....

[Notice] : Level up!]

[Notice: You have reached level 47!]

These were huge experience points for an unpredictable, on-the-go situation.

‘Damn it’s so hard.’

“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

Damian broke into a cold sweat at the amount of monsters pouring out from the road leading to the trench ahead.

The central position was immediately breached.

After dozens of monsters attacked from the trench on the left where they were last time, Damian and Hyeeun were able to reach the central position thanks to the advanced protection shield, which is a defense function of the passage.

Soon after, it was confirmed that the central position was also occupied by various monsters.

It was like it collapsed in vain without even having time to deploy a defensive line.

The monsters thoroughly destroyed the camp as if they knew in advance that Giorno’s 6th reconnaissance group would return here.

Damian, who was in the aisle, also expected that the camp would not be safe, seeing the ghouls attacking from the center, but when he arrived at the camp, seeing monsters swarming, he felt that negative thoughts gradually dominated.

“Owner bastard!!”

“Such a fucking foot.”

Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Damian spit out a curse as he watched the tentacles pouring down on him at the same time as the screams of the bunch.

In the darkness, Damian’s whole body rose up in a misty haze.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Quaang!

When one of the tongue monsters, Swatcher, shot her tongue toward the trench, the female user’s face became pale.

One of the members of Reconnaissance Team 6, < Chocojoa > who was restoring the central position along with Giorno.

However, Chocojoa seemed very busy unlike his frightened appearance, and there was also a good Assassin user behind him.

“X-bar... x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x...!!”

“Are you going to keep cursing like that?!”

“No, I’m doing my best right now!!”

And when the Assassin user, < Nowon Dandy Nam >, shouted as if he was attacked by Chocojoa, a dazzling current began to emanate from the trench.

“Shut up, you bastard bastards!!”

Charged bolt trap.

It was < Stalker >‘s trap skill that specializes in traps among the Assassin class.

“Is it now—!!”

Wow!

Nowon Dandy Nam shouted in a strange tone, and Chocojoa raised both arms above the trench.

It was a similar type of magic to the advanced protection shield, the basic defense of the trenches.

They activated a defensive magic circle by activating a rune the moment the monsters rushed into the trench in front, and they additionally activated a rune to block the passage with a shield.

It was unavoidable to live.

Fortunately, the area of the trench they were crouching in was not that wide, so no matter how many monsters came, the amount of monsters that the protection shield faced was not so large.

In addition, Nowon Dandy Nam uses items such as < Smoke Bomb > or < Slash Bomb > to obscure the monsters’ attention, while delaying their attacks.

In the meantime, it was not too difficult for the mage, Chocozoa, to use two or three layers of defense magic, as long as she defended the trench by throwing lightning traps such as the < Charged Bolt Trap >.

Of course, it was an improvised technique, and it was not known what would happen the moment Nowon Dandy Nam’s consumables and Chocojoa’s mana ran out.

“How many left?!”

“What are you talking about!”

“There are things like those bean bullets!”

“My bullet?! There’s not much left for X-Byeong now... heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

Quaang!

A ghoul ran from the other side of the aisle and hit its head, and nowon dandynam screamed.

It was about to go crazy and jump.

Even though I made a fuss about Chocojoa’s words, that was because I didn’t really have much left.

Right now, the top of the head is not enough, and the monsters are bursting into the shield right next to it, so it was no different than a known fact that they were eaten by the monsters and climbed the road to the nether world.

“You’d better kill me!! No, I’ll just set a trap underneath, so you want to step on it together?!”

“I beg your pardon?!”

“It’s better to step on a trap and log out than to be eaten by them, too!!”

In the end, even if they had endured so far, only a hopeless ending was left because the future was so dark that their efforts could be said to be imaginary.

“Heh heh heh...! I didn’t apply just because they gave me a lot of money...!”

“What kind of people are there?!”

Jureuk!

Eventually, the moment when Chocojoa forgets to spread the shield and is dumbfounded at the appearance of Nowon Dandy Nam sitting on the floor and taking care of himself.

“...?!”

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Soon after, an explosion resounded behind Berthas Ghoul, who was almost crushed by the advanced protection shield, and the monsters in the passageway, including him, began to explode at once.

“Mu what what what what...”

“People... people...?”

The two of them didn’t even notice that they were hugging each other.
