Chapter 188 – The Longest Terror (2)
23. The Longest Terror (2)
[The Longest Terror ignores speed and starts acting first.]
[Hour of Fear]
[Every 12 turns, all warriors fall into fear.]
[If the resistance is successful, the turn proceeds as it is.]
[If you fail to resist, you will fall into ‘fear’.]
[All heroes lose 5 mentality every turn.]
“What, like this.”
Those were the first words I barely uttered after entering the boss room. It was an absurd level of violence, forgetting that I was overwhelmed by this space with the frightened bastard.
It’s not intimidation, it’s not a roll, it catches an unconditional sun turn regardless of speed?
What’s with that ridiculous skill?
[Time is infinite, but mortals are finite and weathered. Therefore, fear circulates and spreads infinitely again.]
Said the horror bastard. As if I couldn’t understand his appearance, I could hear his words, but I couldn’t understand them. Damn, I didn’t even care about it in the first place. What was important to us was the ripple effect that skill would bring.
[Speed check]
Shay: 5
Kaya: 5
Eugene: 7
Illumina: 5
The Longest Terror:-
[The longest fear ignores speed and takes the first turn.]
[Then Eugene’s turn comes first.]
“Fuck?”
[The Longest Terror]
Stamina: 300/300
Attack Power: 19~28
Defense: 20
Speed : –
Even that unconditional sun turn was not limited to the first time. I hurriedly checked his profile, and the speed wasn’t even displayed at all. Ignore speed and just take the first turn. It was absurd.
‘300 HP and 20 defense?’
It was as far away as this cosmic space. It was a crazy gimmick with crazy numbers, so I was rather distracted.
‘Okay. If you think about it, I was surprised to see the specs of the normal monster in the first 1-1. It’s a strange thing. It’s a strange thing, but…’
I couldn’t help but feel bitter. Still, it was fortunate that I came to my senses. I couldn’t stay like a jjuguri in that cosmic presence forever.
‘First, increase Illumina’s speed by 1 with Kaleidoscope.’
[‘Kaleidoscope’ increases Illumina’s speed by 1.]
[Kaleidoscope cannot be activated further until this battle is over.]
[The effect of the kaleidoscope is maintained until the battle continues.]
[Illumina speed: 6]
I increased the speed of Illumina, which had the same speed as Kaya and Shay, with a kaleidoscope, and after that, as always, I put a mark on the monster’s body.
As far as the stigma was concerned, the 1-1 henchmen and fear cubs were equally pierced.
[Find a wanted criminal]
[Eugene marks the longest fear as a wanted criminal.]
[Eugene deals 1 damage to the Longest Terror.]
[Remaining HP 299/300]
[Stigma lasts for 3 turns.]
[As long as the stigma is maintained, all physical damage is amplified by 25%.]
[Eugene mentality -5]
[Hour of Terror 1/12]
[It is a stigma to me, who is fear itself.]
“Illumina. Second string.”
“Yes… !”
Cozy like a mother’s arms, fresh like a spring breeze.
Lively like a puppy on a walk, lovingly like a precious child.
I ignored the fear bastard’s words and instructed Illumina. Perhaps because of her low level, Illumina, who was suppressed to the point where she couldn’t breathe properly, fortunately showed off her skills normally when playing her melody.
[The melody of vitality]
[The melody of Illumina soothes the hearts of the warriors.]
[All warriors’ mentality +3]
[Recovers an additional 1 point of mentality due to the ‘Natural Songwriter’ feature.]
[Recover HP +3 per turn for all heroes]
[Recovers mentality +3 when all hero attacks hit]
[Due to the ‘Innate Songwriter’ feature, HP recovery per turn increases by 1.]
[Illumina mentality -5]
[Hour of Terror 2/12]
The raid melody, which increases speed and critical strike rate, was a very good buff, but now that speed has become meaningless, the effect was cut in half. Therefore, I chose a melody of vitality that can somewhat neutralize the horror time gimmick and the aftereffects of Kaya and Shay.
‘It’s a waste of money to upgrade the melody of the raid, damn…’
[The speed of Shay and Kaya is the same.]
[Speed roll]
Shay: 5
Kaya: 4
[Shay’s turn will precede Kaya’s turn.]
Shay wins the roll. She raised her sharpened Claymore and aimed it at the Dreadling. He looked like a warrior against the devil, David against Goliath.
[Judgement of Justice]
[Shay deals 25 damage to the Longest Terror.]
[Remaining HP 274/300]
[The longest fear resists judgment.]
[The longest fear resists the status ‘stunning’.]
[The longest fear is branded with judgment.]
[Stigma lasts for 3 turns.]
[Due to the deep aftermath, Shay’s HP is reduced by 4.]
[Remaining HP 37/41]
[Shay mentality -5]
[The effect of the melody of vitality restores 4 HP to Shay.]
[Remaining HP 41/41]
[The effect of the Melody of Vitality restores Shay’s mentality by 3.]
[Hour of Terror 3/12]
“Oh… !”
Shay was a warrior who paid a great price to come here. It was true that she had a tremendous presence of fear for the longest time, but she was also a warrior who had inherited the power of the temple that the goddess had descended upon.
Shay’s Black.
What she seemed to be indestructible, she properly nicked the body of the fear pup.
Even though there was no critical hit, the deal was quite high, and the melody of vitality was more efficient than I thought, so I thought, ‘What is it? Should I do it?’ I thought.
[The power of those who cried out to me for light and justice. Interesting.]
Said the horror bastard. Somehow I could see his figure more clearly and hear his words more clearly. In short, it seemed that the ‘understandable rate’ for him had increased compared to before.
‘Does that mean that the more he loses his stamina, the lower his rank will be?’
I don’t know, but it was a good start anyway.
“Kaya.”
“Yes. Leader.”
Kaya, who had been keeping an eye on the fright ever since she entered this place, raised her mace. Since she used her incarnation skill on District 3 Boss Nom, she will no longer receive direct help from Raella-sama, but a part of Raella-sama was still dormant inside her.
Kaya’s mace shone brighter than it did when she dealt with the heartthrob. In the light of the mace, her face as a whole was too calm, but not so much as her eyes.
Even if I die, you will take me.
It was these eyes.
‘It’s a battle that requires such determination… I am too.’
Anyway, I couldn’t tell you not to think like that. Even if you gave everything, you couldn’t guarantee victory.
So I just nodded her head. Then Kaya nodded her head too, and she shot out in front of her. The trail of light following the mace seemed like a comet flying. A small but brilliant pale green comet traversed the vast, turbid universe and reached its center…
[Everything according to God’s will]
[The feature ‘New Faith’ is activated, ignoring the longest fear defense by 6.]
[A great blow!]
[Kaya deals 66 damage to the Longest Terror.]
[Remaining HP 208/300]
[Feature: Kaya’s physical strength decreases by 2 and mentality decreases by 5 due to ‘weakness’.]
[Kaya mentality -5]
[The effect of the melody of vitality restores 4 HP to Kaya.]
[The effect of the melody of vitality restores Kaya’s mentality by 3.]
[Hour of Fear 4/12]
A pale green comet pierced the center of the universe.
“Yes!!!”
“Sister!”
“Sister Kaya!”
Of course, the light green light was quickly buried in the turbid darkness, but we witnessed cracks in the space of the frightened bastard, albeit for a short time.
[…]
Gulp-
Our cheers were lost in the silence of the dreadlocks. The guy who thought he was going to say something just stayed still without saying or doing anything when it was his turn again.
As if I was walking through an empty aisle in District 4, a sense of uneasiness crept up.
The problem is, if it was anxiety close to shadow boxing back then, now it’s a highly probable anxiety that is tangible right in front of your eyes.
I pinpointed the cause of this anxiety with my senses as a player who has spent thousands of hours and a warrior who has wandered between death and death in a dungeon.
‘Could it be the second phase? Already?’
No way they’re catching people.
[They are the first mortals to stand in front of me. But that’s it.]
After the silence was broken, his figure became a little clearer, but what can we say about the entire space surrounding us…
‘It looks like something has narrowed the whole thing?’
My thoughts were short-lived.
[You guys won’t be able to stop me.]
[Armor of Terror]
[The longest fear has condensed energy.]
[The Longest Terror only takes up to 50 damage per turn.]
[Heroes who attacked the longest fear take damage equal to 10% of their max HP. Heroes who land critical hits receive 50% more.]
[Heroes who do not attack the longest fear take damage equal to 5% of their max HP.]
[Hour of Terror 5/12]
[All warriors’ mentality -5]
The fear bastard applied a self-defense buff called Maximum Health Percentage Reflection to the damage limit.
“What?”
But my turn never came.
[Longest Terror gains Reaction.]
“What the fuck?”
Even with a fucking buff like that, you’re still taking action?
[Be crushed by fear.]
The fact that the entire space I had felt earlier had become narrower was not my fault.
[Terror Oppression]
In the message, only the four-letter skill name popped up, but…
“La Ella… !”
“Lady Justitia! Give us strength… !”
“Hey, Hendrick!!”
The sky is collapsing, or in this case, should we say the universe is collapsing?
Space is collapsing in all directions… In this case, what should I do?
“Everyone gather!”
Fuck what do you do what do you do No time, no information…
If you don’t know, it’ll hurt as fuck, but you have to be right.
And you have to endure it.
“Hold on! Hold on no matter what!”
The moment when the turbid and ominous darkness itself became a medium of fear, surrounded us, and finally reached the tip of our weapon.
[The longest fear oppresses the bodies and minds of the warriors.]
‘Kaya… Shay… Illumina… !’
My consciousness was clouded in an instant after witnessing a single message and my comrades prepared for a doomed battle being swallowed up in the darkness.
Dump-
[It’s natural that you can’t endure it, and even if you endure it, you won’t be fine.]
[I wonder how long I can endure this time with that will.]
[The believer of the false]
[And 666 victors and 6003 losers.]
