Chapter 253 – Forced Phase 3 (1)
This time, proper damage was inflicted to Chaos Alcatraz through 〈 space distortion 〉.
When I look at his face, it feels good to see clearly that he doesn’t know what’s going on.
Okay, if you accumulate damage like this… Chaos Alcatraz will probably move on to Phase 3.
Considering everyone’s combat power converted to in-game specifications, if you were in the game, you would probably only need to make two more attacks like now to ignore the Chaos Alcatraz limit with 〈 space distortion 〉.
After confirming that the attack hit Chaos Alcatraz, I canceled space distortion 〈 and 〉.
Then, the surrounding colors returned to their original state and we were able to return to the original dimension.
When we came back, Chaos Alcatraz endured the pain and glared at us with eyes full of anger.
《I see… I was wondering why my space magic defense was breached… You also attacked from across the dimension…》
This guy recognizes this right away? 〈Time Stop〉 I don’t know how you can figure out the effect just by looking at it once.
Isn’t this guy actually fused with someone who played the Elion game in the same world as me? It’s so ridiculous.
Of course, that won’t be possible. In the first place, not even Gaia knew about the existence of the Elion game, and I was the only one in this world who knew about Elion until I told him about it.
However, it’s not like Chaos Alcatraz can capture people from the world I lived in, and Gaia said this is her first attempt to summon a hero through me, so there’s no way there’s a person here who lived in the same world as me.
Still, what would happen even if Chaos Alcatraz found out about 〈 space distortion 〉? This is no different from a guaranteed attack that cannot be avoided.
It’s just an attack that you can’t avoid even if you know it. Now, if I do it 2 more times, I think I’ll be able to get past phase 2.
The problem is that there are three phases left.
But another situation exists.
《These guys… How dare you drive me this far… I will kill you… I will kill you all!!!》
Chaos Alcatraz, who had fallen down in pain from our attack, woke up screaming. The voice seemed full of anger. Are you that angry about what happened to us?
Then, changes began to occur in Chaos Alcatraz’s body.
The appearance of Chaos Alcatraz, which appeared to anyone to be a Western dragon, became increasingly bizarre, but the first thing that changed was the skin.
The area where we attacked was bleeding, and the skin around the wound gradually began to rot.
“Jinuni! That can’t be…”
“Ah, things aren’t really going the way you think. Ellie, I think what you’re thinking is right.”
I listened to Ellie and nodded her head.
Dump!
While Ellie was talking, Chaos Alcatraz’s skin began to rot and was unable to maintain its shape, causing it to fall down.
Is it just skin? Everything that expressed life, such as skin, muscles, and internal organs, fell to the ground and began to rot away.
“Jinu… What is this…”
“Everyone, you have to be really careful now. Now if you get hit right, you might die.”
Everyone who heard me became nervous and looked at the changing appearance of Chaos Alcatraz.
Chaos Alcatraz, whose appearance gradually changed as he blended in, ended up with only his bare bones remaining. Oh, there’s also something like a large bead left on his chest, and that’s a dragon heart.
The reason why he suddenly became nothing but bones was because he went straight to the next phase.
If you lose all of Chios Alcatraz’s health in Phase 2 of the game, he will scream and fall down.
But it doesn’t end there. This is because in the next three phases, Chaos Alcatraz evolves from a normal dragon into a death dragon.
According to the setting, the grudge of Chaos Alcatraz, who died for our users, is that he will overcome death and evolve into a death dragon to fight again. This is Phase 3 of Chaos Alcatraz, and unlike the game, this guy has moved on to Phase 3 on his own.
Was he that angry that he felt the pain of being attacked by us?
Most of them only look like bones, but this actually heightens the fear deep in my heart.
The moment the phase passed, we were invincible again, so our attacks had no effect, so we had to just watch quietly.
How long did it take? A blue flame like a will-o’-the-wisps appeared from the bones of the guy’s face where the eyeballs would have been.
The unpleasantly burning flame moved here and there and stopped in a position as if its eyes were looking at us.
Has the phase completely passed now?
《Ha… I didn’t know that I would end up like this… I guess you are prepared, right?》
“What was my resolution? From the beginning, all I wanted to do was kill you.”
However, I moved on to phase 3 faster than expected. I’m not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Since I’ve looked at dungeons below level 100 ad nauseam, I’ll probably be able to handle them roughly even if it’s not a typical situation like the current one, but since I’ve only barely scratched the surface of my preparation, I can’t tell how much of an impact a situation with variables like this would have.
Okay then… I guess I’ll get started now!
Despite losing all of his skin, Chaos Alcatraz moved his wing bones and flew into the sky.
The figure became like a dot and rose so high that it was completely invisible.
“Everyone, prepare to dodge. He will suddenly rush downward.”
This is the pattern that Chaos Alcatraz activates as it enters Phase 3. After transforming, it flies high in the sky and falls to where the users are, leaving behind a large shock wave.
If you get hit by this, just think of yourself as dead. When I returned to the original world, one of the things I looked for to gather information was a crazy guy who experimented to see if he could withstand this attack. He raised the maximum defense that can be produced in the current game, and in addition, the character’s unique defense raising skills and damage reduction were added. Although armed with skills, the character hit by that attack is said to have died instantly.
Even in the game, it’s a pattern that deals such ignorant damage, but are we getting hit by that attack in our current state? It’s so dangerous that it can’t be compared to being cut by Chaos Alcatraz’s fingernails.
Because I’m really going to a place I’ll never see again.
Avoiding his attacks is easy but difficult. It’s an attack that just rams you headfirst into the position where we’re gathered, but the moment you hit it, you have to jump and avoid the shock wave that flows to the floor.
The problem is timing.
The reason I was able to safely avoid all the breath attacks and attacks that rained black thorns from the sky in the previous two phases was because I memorized all the safe locations displayed in the game.
If so, how will the attack come out in the game during this 3rd phase? It comes in the form of a gauge. As soon as the gauge reaches the end on the screen, it falls from the sky and leaves a shock wave on the floor, so users can avoid the attack by looking at the gauge in advance, deviating from the falling location at the right time, and jumping at the same time. .
“Come on, everyone gather around!”
At the sound of my voice, everyone gathered to where I was standing.
Everyone is looking at the sky above Chaos Alcatraz, but I am looking at the ground. Since you can’t see and avoid that attack anyway, there’s no point in looking at the sky.
Instead, I looked at the ground and tried to remember so I could concentrate. When should I avoid it? This should not be too fast or too slow.
The original plan was to use bugs in Phase 1 to irritate them mentally rather than cause physical damage.
At that time, Eli, Rhenia, and Freya remained in Brighton Castle and were unable to exert proper power.
After holding on and holding on like that and everyone gathered together, the 2nd phase was to steadily inflict damage through 〈 space distortion 〉 so that Chaos Alcatraz would have physical problems even when it moves on to the 3rd phase.
I tried to reduce all of the stamina of the 2nd phase or damage the ground, but the guy went on to the 3rd phase himself.
5… 4… 3… 2… 1…
“Everyone now!”
I looked at the ground and counted the numbers in reverse order in my head. And the moment 1 came, I told everyone to avoid and immediately everyone scattered in one place and jumped without touching the floor.
Quagwang!
Then a sound as if a huge object had fallen rang out from behind.
It was probably the sound of Chaos Alcatraz, transformed into a death dragon, falling to the ground.
Now… If you just get past Phase 3, everything is over!
