“What took you so long to get together? ”
Martin gives a slightly nervous talk, and Chase next to him says he doesn't know what to do.
“We have all heard from them, and they will be here soon, Master. ”
“Phew, it's been more than five minutes. ”
“I'll try to get in touch with you again. ”
Right in front of the Gate of the Marginal Area 15, the Dark Cruna Guild and the Howang Guild were repairing one by one.
Of course, their goal is the heart of Baloch.
And Martin was nervous because it was so complex.
The biggest cause of this is the stress accumulated by completing the quests Jankun gave you.
‘Whew, I'm already nervous if I think about meeting that muscle pig again. ’
The burden of stress from enforcers to the 15th precinct and the presence of Baloch to be dealt with soon.
Besides, it was inevitable that the guild members would show up late and explode.
“When will all the Howang Guild members get together? We just need one more to go. Looks like they'll all be here in three to five minutes. ”
Martin gritted his teeth at Irahan's sarcasm.
“Give me another 20 minutes. One of them just happened to be a little late. ”
“Tsk, tsk... ”
The two parties in the 15th precinct were only a few people each.
Since it's never a small number of party members, it takes time to get together and organize.
Therefore, about 30 minutes after the time we promised to meet, all preparations for the dungeon attack were completed.
“Now, let's get going. ”
As soon as Irahan's words drop, the guild's guides start to move ahead.
The scouts move ahead and the dungeon is located.
* * *
Ian quickly checked his inventory.
[Heart Piece of Baloch (2/50)]
50 pieces to create Baloch's heart pills.
Now that you've hunted one, you'll need to hunt 25 pieces before you can finish it.
But luckily, Ian wasn't the only one here.
“Hun, how many Noel have you got? ”
“I'm two pieces. ”
“I have two pieces too, brother. ”
It was unclear, but the number of pieces you get seemed to be nearly two each time you kill a Junior Footlock, and if you hunt one, you collect six pieces each.
Ian's group dodges the attack by cooking walkers and quickly recovers the bodies of junior walkers.
Tyring -
[You obtained the item 'Heart Fragment of Balock x2’.]
[You obtained the item 'Heart Fragment of Balock x1’.]
[You obtained the item 'Heart Fragment of Balock x2’.]
:
:
So I checked the hearts of three people, 27 of them.
So we just need to catch about five more? ’
Twenty-seven pieces were recovered from five corpses. We were almost sure if we hunted five more, we'd all be there.
Ian's group, from then on, starts hunting junior footlocks with all their might.
“Hun, avenge the dead on Rye! ”
“Okay!”
“Noelle, the dragon can't be summoned! I'm dying!”
“Got it, bro! ”
The biggest reason this field was so difficult in the first place was that it tried to catch its parent, Baloch.
Every time I hunted one Junior Baloch, I was afraid of him getting stronger, and when I tried to remove my life from my mother's mind somehow, I couldn't find the answer.
Junior Baloch desperately protects the mother, but he thinks he shouldn't kill them, so the difficulty was only Hel.
But now I don't have to.
Rather, we can hunt down Junior Baloch who are trying to protect him while taking the stance against Mother Baloch.
And only before and after level 260, Junior Baloch was truly Bob to Ian's group.
Kuaang -!
[You have inflicted devastating damage on the legendary Magician ‘Junior Footlock’.]
[Legendary Magic 'Junior Foot’ HP reduced by 476090.]
[You have successfully defeated ‘Junior Baloch’.]
Ian's judgment of the Spirit King pierced Junior Baloch's body.
One of the reasons Balock was so hard to deal with was that the body that was caught in smoke and fire kept moving, and the position of the body that could do damage kept changing.
However, if it could do this much damage to the main body, the physical defense force itself was relatively weak.
“Ian! That's it! I think we've got about 50 of them now. ”
Ian nods, looking at the number of pieces in Hun's words.
“Okay, 51 pieces. Then I've completed the quest.... ”
Kanoel from the other side speaks to Ian.
“Then let's get the dungeon out of here. That Valok adult is almost a monster. Buff has 10 stacks already. ”
It was as Kanoel said.
The 350-level baloch with a 20% combat buff was truly a infernal display of power.
With nearly 40% of its health drained in a single stroke, Tanker Hairy was truly enormous.
Hun confronted him.
“Yes, brother. Let's get out of here and get our Shadow Feathers. If we stay here any longer, we're in danger. ”
And then I started booming again just in time.
[Rrrrgh! Humans! I'll kill them all!!!]
[Vallock's unique ability, Magic Rage is triggered.]
[Increases Balock's Max Activation Rate by 15% for 30 min.]
[Increases the duration of all buff effects on Balock by 120 minutes.]
[Balac's HP Regeneration Speed +20% for 30 min.]
One of Baloch's unique abilities, Magic Rage.
This unique ability was not as difficult as the original "soul suppression."
But now a little bit (?) Special circumstances.
Now, for him, Junior Balock had a battle buff that remained intact during his death.
It was okay to say that the duration of all buff effects increased by 2 hours, which is the same as saying at least ‘Do not think about catching for 2 hours.'
Hun urged Ian.
“Brother, what are you doing? Let's get out of here.”
But Ian's thoughts seemed a little different from the two of them.
“No, it's too bad I'm leaving now. ”
“Oh, what a waste! You made Baloch's heart. Let's save some time and go get the next ingredient! ”
Ian answers, avoiding the flying attack on Baloch.
“We still have 36 hours left, and we still have the Dark Lord. Feathers are easy to get, so don't worry. ”
And before Hun could say anything, he spoke again.
“From now on, I will keep my wits about me and hunt down all the remaining junior footlocks. ”
“ …?! ”
Even Canoe looks suspicious, but Ian swung his spear and attacked Junior Baloch without explanation.
Boom-boom-boom!
Then Hun had no choice but to grumble and follow behind him.
“What's wrong with that brother again? ”
Instead of Ian, Kanoel grins.
“You have an idea. He's not like that without a reason. Let's just do what he says. Do you know if the legendary item will fall into a pile? ”
Ian, who jumped into battle before him, mutters an unknown word.
“Well, maybe Noel's right. I'm sure Junior Baloch isn't going down. ”
“What's that supposed to mean? ”
He grunts, but when the battle begins, Hun plays his part perfectly.
And the three hands and feet began to become even busier.
The number of monsters to deal with was decreasing, but ironically the difficulty of combat was increasing.
* * *
Meanwhile, Ian's group struggled hard with Junior Rocks.
“This is... creepy...? ”
“I see. It's like a graveyard quartile. ”
The Howang Guild and the Dark Cruna Guild's Unity Party were standing on the road of death to the Grave of Forgotten Souls.
Martin calls the scout ahead.
“What's this long road anyway? Scouts!”
“Yes, Master. ”
“Are you sure you've checked the dungeon entrance? ”
“That's right. I even checked out the name 'Grave of Forgotten Souls.' ”
“Hmm... I see... ”
Martin continues to wander around with a curious glance.
And it was the same with Iran.
It has been more than 20 minutes since I entered the path of death, but I can't see the entrance to the dungeon, so I have to question it.
Moreover, the tension of thinking about when the witches might pop out was hard enough.
But then, a scout from the Dark Cruna Guild approached Irahan.
“Master, if you turn around behind that rock wall, it's the entrance to the dungeon. ”
Irahan nodded and replied.
“I see. Prepare for battle! Check all the cooldown times, check the quantity of potions. Mistakes cannot be tolerated. Now that you've explained Balock to me enough in advance, I trust you're all familiar with him? ”
“Yes, Master! ”
Irahan knew Balock as well as Ian did.
At least I knew all the unique abilities and explained them all to the party members in advance.
And after two to three minutes of maintenance, the scouts fall back and Irahan and Martin take the lead.
Martin looks back and opens his mouth.
“Everyone's nervous. You know we only have to catch one quick foot and get out, right? ”
Irahan added:
“To be precise, it's only 'until I get Baloch's heart’. I need to get two guns... Since there are so many people, hunting only one will drop two. ”
When he finished speaking, he took a big step toward the entrance to the dungeon.
And starting with him, all the party members rush into the dungeon.
* * *
Kung-kung - kung -!
The heavy footsteps echo somewhere.
It felt so terrifying, even though the streets were pretty good.
Martin whispers in a small voice, killing his voice.
“Is that Baloch's Valsorin? You look like a pretty big monster...? ”
Irahan opens his mouth and orders again.
“Let's be careful and take a look inside. No one attacks until the order is dropped. Even if there are a lot of Balocks around, we can't just attack them. ”
Leading the way, the group carefully moves into the dungeon.
And in less than five minutes, I was able to find one giant footlock.
Irahan quickly examined Baloch's information.
[Footsteps/Lv: 355]
I was young in Irahan's eyes.
A 355-level foot tall. If I do this well... I'll be able to complete the quest much easier than I thought! ’
The average level of the party today was about 250.
Moreover, since they were all top rankers, they also adhered to their control abilities, I didn't think it would be difficult at all, even if they were about 350 levels.
Martin said with a bright look, whether he had read Iranian thoughts like that.
“I could attack right now... What do you think, Rahan?" ”
Irahan nods.
“Of course. With 350 levels of footlocks, we should be able to hold them off with a few of our own. ”
Irahan instructed two scouts to make sure there were no other subjects around him.
And after about a minute, the scouts came back and reported.
“Within a 100-meter radius, there's only one of him. ”
“Got it. Good work. ”
The tail of one of Irahan's mouths dries up.
“He's alone. Concentrate as much firepower as you can, and let's get rid of them quickly! ”
The members of the Dark Cruna Guild, as well as the members of the Howang Guild, began to nod and form a formation.
Since Irahan was placing the order for the whole party, it was natural.
“Wizards start casting singlemagic, knights first! ”
Whoo-hoo!
As the wizards cast their distant magic from one place to another, resonance begins to spread through the air.
And with him, he also began to express a sense of existence, whether he had noticed the existence of users.
[Tiny Humans...! I'll kill every last one of you! Rrrrgh!]
If it had been the way it was, the wizards had to start casting attack magic as discreetly as possible.
It was only natural that the battle would begin after casting a spell, which was more advantageous.
But Vallock was just one, and it was enough to create a distraction.
Because I thought I could get rid of one foot in a jiffy.
Shhh!
After seeing the tankers rush first, Iran pulls out his sword from his waist.
I was going to show my strength to Howang Guild users.
‘Hehe, I'm not the best ranker for nothing... I need to show you this opportunity. ’
However, Irahan's ambitious thoughts could no longer continue.
[It will be ashes and gone!]
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[The legendary Magic Storm triggers the unique ability of 'Baloch'.]
Boom, boom, boom!
When Baloch stretched out his arms that he had crossed, a fierce wave of magi and flames erupted around him.
Actually, there was nothing wrong with that.
The blizzard was a unique skill we already knew, and it was a skill the tankers could withstand.
But...
“Aah!”
“What is this?! ”
“What the hell...! ”
The problem was that no one had ever imagined that all the tankers that ran in front of them would be destroyed in one blow.
