Chapter 87 – Short Break (1)
【…】
Why is there no answer?
I feel like this damn god is leaving the world to us too much.
“Hey? If the Hydra we just fought comes out again, it will be very difficult.”
And if a raid boss higher than Hydra appears, it’s over.
Really, if Modeus, the next raid boss after Hydra, appears…
I will immediately close the dimensional gap and jump out.
Fighting Modeus in his current state is no different from committing suicide.
Moreover, to be honest, it was as if Hydra had been captured by force.
When I looked at everyone’s expressions, I noticed that they looked clearly exhausted, unlike usual battles.
If I were much stronger, I wouldn’t have suffered this much…
No, what is certain is that my gacha luck is rubbish.
How should I have chosen Freya this time?
If only Frey had been there, that Hydra would have been nothing.
The Phase 1 heads must have been blown away one by one by each of my characters’ ultimate attacks.
If there is no answer, I will just close the dimensional gap.
【…Yes, then please give me one more hour.】
I finally received confirmation.
The regretful tone is very, very annoying.
But what can you do? If we hold on and die, wouldn’t it be a big deal for Gaia?
After finishing my conversation with Gaia, I gathered everyone together while Demon was away.
All five people heard me calling and gathered around me.
And I shared with everyone what we just talked about.
“Hah… So, now I have to hold on for another hour? What an incompetent god you are, really. To put Jinu through this much trouble.”
“You’re very tired. I’m sure dealing with Hydra has been a big deal.”
Rhenia shook her head and spoke of her dissatisfaction with Gaia, while Ellie spoke tiredly.
“Lien, are you okay?”
I asked Lien, who was attacked by Hydra earlier.
At first glance, it looks like there will be no problem after receiving treatment from Ellie, but just in case.
“I’m sorry for worrying you, my lord. I should have avoided it better… But thanks to Ellie, it’s no problem now.”
Lien, who heard me, looked sullen, like an elementary school student being scolded by her teacher.
I walked up to Lien and gave her a light hug.
“Lord, my lord?”
“What are you talking about? I just wasn’t good enough. It’s enough for me that you guys don’t get hurt. Be a little more careful next time.”
This time, it was so dangerous that I thought both Ellie and Lien would be lost.
When I stepped back and looked at Lien’s face, it turned red. It seems very embarrassing.
Although that kind of thing is cute.
“But Jinu, what did you do earlier? It looked like you were suddenly teleporting!”
“So, how did you do that, master?”
After leaving Lien, Yuria and Noah approached me and asked about the ‘dash’ and ‘time stop’ I used.
“This is the power of authority that you all know. I was able to use it without even realizing it. I guess the functions I can perform are increasing every time I summon each of you.”
If it weren’t for this power this time, Lien would definitely have died.
“There are two new powers I can use this time.”
I said, extending two fingers.
“One is a skill called ‘Dash’, and the other is a skill called ‘Time Stop’.”
“Wow~~! What kind of skill is this?”
Yuria asked me with a twinkle in her eye.
“First of all, you will be able to clearly see the ‘dash’ skill when you see it. I will use it now, so look carefully.”
I thought to myself that I was using the ‘dash’ skill, and my body instantly moved a certain distance in the direction I was looking.
The distance traveled seemed to be approximately 5m.
“Wow! Jinunim suddenly disappeared and went to the temple!”
“As expected, Jinu used this when he suddenly took Ellie and Lien away.”
Everyone seemed surprised to see me suddenly moving.
It’s definitely a raid skill that you guys often use in the game…
I think I probably used the ‘dash’ skill more than a thousand times just to keep you from dying in the game.
I don’t know why, but my characters didn’t seem to have any knowledge of the game system, so I thought they wouldn’t know about ‘dash’ or ‘time stop’.
“That’s right, and I also used the ‘time stop’ I just mentioned.”
I went back to everyone and explained everything.
“‘Time Stop’ is a skill that simply slows down time for everyone but me. This alone is an absurd skill, but I can move freely during that time. I can also attack during that time. The time when the skill is activated is approximately 5 “I think it’s about a second?”
“You mean time? That’s amazing!”
Everyone who heard me looked surprised.
“Time has slowed down, but you can move and attack? This kind of ability definitely makes you feel like a god, enough to give us power?”
“This is the first time I’ve heard of being able to slow down time. Even in our world, I’ve never heard of anyone who can do that, Jinu!”
Not only Yuria but also Renia is looking at me with shining eyes.
Of course, being able to manipulate time is understandable because it is a skill that only gods can do.
Even I, who can write, feel at a loss.
“You saved us from Hydra’s attack by using both of your skills. I was surprised at that time. I ran to save Lien, but suddenly I and Lien were held in Jinu’s hands. “
“It would be best if this skill applied not only to me but to all of you when I used it, but unfortunately, it seems to only apply to me. Well, the fact that it exists is amazing.”
Similar to the fact that my characters cannot use systems that are natural in RPG games, such as inventory or whispering, they also did not apply to the ‘time stop’ I used.
In the actual Elion game, when the raid leader uses this skill, it is applied to all raid members, allowing them to quickly avoid the monster’s pattern or instantly inflict extreme damage, but in this world, only I was able to move in slow time.
Maybe the game system I’m using doesn’t recognize my characters as characters in the game.
“Anyway, I’ve become one level stronger. I should try to become stronger. Now, let’s hold on for one more hour!”
“Yes! Jinu!”
Now the time limit is just one hour.
I just want to get through this and go back to my dorm and get some rest.
I wanted to measure the exact time, but the watch I brought with me was broken.
It seems that it flew and rolled while dodging the Hydra’s attack earlier and was broken by the impact.
I should close it when I feel like an hour has passed.
Over the course of an hour, we were able to meet several more types of demons.
Two more Vihamoths appeared this time, and I think an additional 50 ghouls appeared.
I was very tired from the hydra, but I mustered up a little more strength and defeated the demon.
It seems like the time has come.
“I think it’s been about an hour now, so I’ll close the dimensional rift.”
As I thought about closing the dimensional gap in my mind, the dimensional gap began to shake for a moment.
For a moment, the dimensional gap shook as if there was an earthquake, but I could see the gap slowly narrowing.
“Is this all for today?”
“Thank you all for your hard work.”
We all gathered together and watched the dimensional rift close.
Thud!
I thought it was over now and was watching the dimensional gap with relief, when suddenly a loud sound appeared from the dimensional gap.
The dimensional gap is gradually narrowing to the point where it can only fit into the size of an ordinary person.
And behind there, a figure appeared.
The black shape should have been hard to see through the dark gaps, but for some reason, it was visible very clearly.
It had the shape of a person taller than 2 meters, with horns reminiscent of a devil and wings on its back visible.
The guy grabbed the closing dimensional gap with his hand and tried to push it open with force, but fortunately the gap did not give in and slowly closed.
“Kwaaaaa
He glared at us as if he was disappointed and shouted loudly.
The dimensional gap that had been slowly closing was completely closed with the last of its cries, and there was only silence, as if nothing had happened.
“Heo-eok, heo-eok!”
The moment I saw that guy, I froze and her breath went out.
And after seeing the guy disappear through the dimensional gap, he collapsed in his seat.
“That guy is definitely him, right?”
“Ah, Modeus. We would have been in big trouble. If that guy had come out, we would all have died.”
The Demon who was screaming at us was Modeus, the level 100 raid boss.
He had been clenching his hand so hard without realizing it that he was afraid that that guy would come out of the dimensional gap, and his hand was convulsing.
The moment I saw him, I got goosebumps.
If the dimensional gap had been closed a little later, wouldn’t he have come over here?
I don’t even want to imagine what happens next.
He really would have died here.
Gaia, has this guy calculated this far?
I doubt that the timing is this perfect.
“We certainly can’t take on Modeus without Freyja. We could have been in real trouble, my lord.”
Everyone who saw Modeus had a serious expression on their faces.
“Now that I’ve seen Modeus, I think I need to summon Freyja as soon as possible.”
“Okay. Let’s go back to Pern and quickly summon one more person.”
We gathered up the items we had brought with us and tried to leave.
Tuk!
“Ouch!”
Then something fell on my head.
When I picked up what had fallen on my head and lifted it up, it turned out to be a coin.
That’s only 1 silver.
That was the beginning.
Wow!
A heavy rain fell on us.
A rain made of coins.
Hasn’t everyone imagined it at least once?
Seeing money raining on our heads
The phenomenon is happening right now before my eyes.
The falling coins range from 1 copper to 1 silver.
Some may even fall out of your pocket.
“Jinuni, please come this way.”
When I looked towards Ellie, who was calling me, I saw her hiding from the rain of money under a tree.
Everyone, including me, took refuge under the tree and watched the rain of money fall like crazy.
