Chapter 131 – The Worst Enemy to Come (2)
Baccarat.
It is a monster that acts as a mid-boss in Elion level 100 raids.
According to the setting, he is one of the three captains who serve Modeus, the level 100 raid boss, and of course appears in front of users before meeting Modeus.
The level 100 raid is structured so that users can meet Modeus after defeating three mid-boss captains in different locations.
She’s a monster I’ve been hunting for a long time, but she was one of those people I didn’t want to meet, but I never thought I’d see her here.
I wanted to deal with the mid-bosses and boss monsters that appear in level 100 raids after summoning Freyja, but it seems like the world doesn’t work the way I want it to.
To think positively, does this mean that the demon fused with Modeus did not appear?
Thinking more positively, among the three captains serving Modeus, an enemy has appeared who has fused with Baccarat, which is the least difficult.
In our current state, can we fight and win against the enemy in front of us?
I can say for sure.
It would be absolutely impossible.
If I were to go back to an Elion game now and try to raid without the Crusader as a buffer, I would be told that I am a very challenging person.
A person who challenges the impossible.
Since the raid is designed based on the premise that the Crusader is present, not only will there be no way to deal proper damage even if you attack the raid monsters, but each attack from the miscellaneous mob will cause enormous damage and eat away at the character’s stamina.
Your character’s stamina will quickly drain from attacks from random mobs, and you can see what the attacks of mid-bosses, which are named monsters, will be like, and how much damage the final Modeus attack will inflict.
Such a powerful monster is right in front of us.
Moreover, we are exhausted from the battle with the synthetic demon beast just now.
It really does show up at the perfect time.
We are faced with Boyd, who introduced himself as Gigantra, and are unable to make a move and are just staring at him.
“What? They’re not attacking me? Those guys were easily attacking Jordic just a moment ago.”
“The guy who fused the demons together was named Zordic. Because he was the opponent…”
While answering what he said, I was trying my best to figure out how to defeat that monster in my head.
But nothing comes to mind.
All I can think of is getting out of this place right now because it is impossible to defeat that monster.
In fact, it may be possible to run away right now.
After meeting everyone, quickly use the 〈 Return 〉 skill and move to the city as far away as possible, and you will be able to escape the crisis right away.
〈 Time Stop 〉 cannot be used because its cooldown has not returned yet, but it only needs to be moved for a moment.
“Then… I’ll let you go especially from my side!”
When we didn’t move, Gigant just ran towards us at incredible speed.
Is it because I’ve been around a lot with my characters so far? Or is it because of the gradual accumulation of combat experience?
I saw Gigant’s movements that I had never seen before.
But it is only visible.
Moving my body in response to that movement is another word.
Gigant came towards us with a fist that seemed to contain great power and swung it quickly.
“Stop!”
〈Divine Shield〉
Bang!
Ellie quickly came to Gigant’s attack and tried to defend herself by holding a shield filled with divine power.
So far, this shield of Ellie has been very reliable, seeming to protect against any attack.
But that wasn’t the case at this moment.
Shooooo!
Quack!
Ellie, who defended against Gigant’s attack using 〈 Divine Shield 〉, flew between us and landed on the ground, making a loud noise.
“Ellie!”
I was momentarily startled and screamed as Ellie turned her head in the direction she had flown.
“Where are you selling your eyes?”
I turned my head again at the sound of Gigant’s voice coming from behind me, and there I saw Gigant standing at me with his fist clenched, ready to attack.
What would happen to me if an attack that even Ellie couldn’t properly defend against comes at me?
Even if I defend myself, I feel like my body will still have holes in it.
However, Gigant’s attack did not continue.
〈Dragon Blade〉
〈Blood Boom〉
Yuria created a sword made of magic and swung it at Gigant, who came between us to attack. Gigant was hit by Yuria’s attack and was pushed back.
And a bomb made of Noah’s blood exploded all over Gigant’s body.
Gigant appeared to defend himself against Noah’s attack by bringing his arms together in front of his body.
〈 Meng Hao Meteor Fist 〉
Lien quickly approached Gigant’s back and swung his fists in succession.
In the short period when Yuria, Noah, and Lien’s successive attacks rained down on Gigant, a huge piece of ice appeared above Gigant’s head.
“Sister Lien, avoid!”
〈Iceberg Crush〉
A huge piece of ice, like an upside-down iceberg, fell on Gigant’s head.
Quack!
Gigant was hit by Rachel’s falling skill and fell to the floor, making a loud noise.
If someone who doesn’t know it sees it, they might think it’s a crisis for Gigant, who is under attack from us.
Part of me really wants to hope that an attack like this may have reduced my stamina even a little bit.
Burbubbuk!
However, when I see Gigant climbing through the iceberg, those thoughts disappear from my mind once again.
The Gigant rises from the floor and holds out his hands towards us.
“Everyone avoid!”
Just by looking at that posture, you can tell what Gigant’s attack is.
Not only me, but everyone who saw Gigant’s actions reacted immediately and quickly moved to avoid the current location.
And then a black flash passed through the space we were in.
Shuung!
That black flash that pierced the head of the synthetic demon beast earlier.
If you were hit from the front, you would be at least seriously injured.
Fortunately, no one was hit by that black flash.
It’s one of the patterns of Demon Baccarat that I’ve seen so many times.
In addition to the pattern of swinging the fist or fingernails at close range, the action of extending the arm forward and firing a black flash like now is a frequently used attack pattern in Baccarat.
Gigant shot a black flash of light at us and then quickly climbed back up to where we were.
Gigant’s body, which had just been hit by the attack, seemed completely unaffected.
As expected, it doesn’t seem to be doing proper damage in its current state.
“You’re definitely strong. You guys are the first to do any harm to me in this state.”
Gigant looked at us curiously and said.
“Ha… If only Frey had been there, this guy wouldn’t even be worth a shot.”
“Could this really be a crisis?”
Although Renia and Noah say it lightly, this is a really big crisis.
The Hydra I saw before in the dimensional gap was a level 95 raid boss, so it was difficult, but I did take damage, but this monster didn’t have a single proper wound.
“If I leave it like this, it could become a danger to Arceus, so it would be right to get rid of it with my own hands. I came to see if Zordic was doing it right, and it looks like he caught a big catch.”
Gigant once again tried to swing his fist at us.
I quickly left the spot using 〈 dash 〉 and went behind Gigant’s back and swung my sword.
Kang!
It sounded like a sword hitting a mineral harder than steel.
Can this be considered the skin of a living thing?
“Hoo, are you moving so fast that I can’t see you?”
Gigant looked at me with curious eyes as I moved behind him.
“Haaa!”
Kang! Kang! Kang!
I swung my sword hard at that guy, but of course my attacks did no damage at all.
Seeing me like that, Gigant tried to swing his fist again, but a red spear flew out behind me towards Gigant’s face.
〈Blood Spear〉
Kang!
When I saw that, I quickly struck Gigant with my sword to increase the distance between him and him, using the recoil to take a step back.
〈Dragonia Burst〉
Yuria rushed towards Gigant with Minercia riding on his back and attempted to slam him into the ground once again.
However, before it even reached the ground, the speed at which Gigant was pushed gradually slowed down and stopped in the middle before it even reached the ground.
Minercia’s charge was stopped with the power of Gigant.
“How should I deal with that monster…”
The thoughts in my mind came out of my mouth as I muttered to myself without realizing it.
“Jinu, we are buying time, so please leave this place.”
Before I knew it, Renia had come next to me and spoke to me with a stern expression.
“What are you talking about? You can’t do that.”
“No, in the current situation, we can’t be sure whether we can defeat that guy on our own. Then, I can’t see Jinu getting hurt by that guy’s attack.”
What Renia said is certainly correct.
It would be impossible to protect myself while fighting an enemy that they alone could not defeat, and if I were to be hit by Gigant’s attack in the end, I would be seriously injured.
But that doesn’t mean I can run away and abandon my characters here.
Is there really no way?
Noah and Rien are also joining together to attack Gigant, who is currently blocking Minercia, but looking at Gigant, he appears to have no sense of danger at all.
Is there… Nothing I can do here?
What I can do for them.
What on earth can help?
It echoes in my mind, but nothing comes back.
But soon one method comes to mind.
What I can do.
The only thing I can do in this world.
It’s about summoning my characters to this world.
I remembered that there was equipment in the Frash Kingdom that had not yet been used.
What if I use the equipment I was planning on getting after this is over and use it now to summon a new character?
If Freya appears there, wouldn’t this crisis be solved?
“Renia, can you buy me a little time?”
“What? You mean time?”
I looked at Renia and spoke with a firm resolve.
