Chapter 18 – 18.First Friend (4)
Even as I approached, Halfmoon Bear was unable to completely tear off the vine of Pamela’s obsession.
If you stab a spear between the eyes like this, you can kill it with one hit.
But what I want to do now is to find out how Pamela’s debuff effect appears in practice.
I deliberately waited in front of Half Moon Bear and waited for her to tear off all of her vines.
“Si, Mr. Sihan? Why are you staying still?”
Pamela asked in surprise from behind.
“It’s for a test.”
“Poetry, test?”
“Just to know how effective your skills are in actual combat, don’t worry. If you’re an opponent like this, you can take some time off. Rather, be on the lookout for enemies to come around, Pamela.”
“Yes, yes!”
-Kooooo!
As soon as she finished speaking to Pamela, Half Moon Bear ripped off all of her vines and swung her paw at me.
Once, twice, three times, four times.
First, learn a sense of speed by avoiding the continuous swings of the Half Moon Bear.
Spear mastery not only allows you to see the trajectory, but the moment you hold the spear, it enables you to move like a master who has reached the pinnacle of the spear.
To be exact, based on my current stats, I am reproducing the movements of someone who has reached the pinnacle of creativity.
Anyway, I was able to easily avoid Halfmoon Bear’s attack.
And after about 15 seconds.
Halfmoon Bear’s attack speed has increased.
There is no way Halfmoon Bear has received a buff, so the speed that has changed now is the speed before it received the debuff.
‘The speed… Even if you cut the vines, it still works.’
15 seconds is a very useful time in battle.
“Pamela!”
“Yes, yes! Si, Mr. Sihan!”
“Use the Vines of Tenacity one more time!”
“Ji, the vine of obsession!”
Vines sprouted from under Half Moon Bear’s feet again and tangled around his body.
-Kooooo!
Halfmoon Bear reaches the vine again and struggles to cut it off.
I aimed for that moment and hurled my spear at Halfmoon Bear’s left arm.
Just enough to not pierce it with the right amount of force.
Phew!
I said to Pamela as I pulled back again, remembering the feel of her hand when I stabbed her.
“I ask for the crushing nail!”
“Nail of crushing!”
The crushing nail flew out and hit Halfmoon Bear, who had not yet been able to cut the vine.
Poop poop!
Although it cannot pass through, several crushing nails are embedded in the Halfmoon Bear’s hide.
‘Then let’s see what the defense reduction debuff tastes like.’
I hurled a spear into Halfmoon Bear’s right arm with the force I had just stabbed.
Phew!
-Kooooo!
After being stabbed with a nail and then a spear, Halfmoon Bear became even angrier and roared.
But rather than the roar, I raised my eyebrows at the feeling of the touch in my hand his.
‘Good. It’s working well.’
It must have been a stab of the same force, but the spear penetrated the leather more smoothly and was driven deeper.
“Pamela! It’s the nail of destruction once again!”
“Nail of crushing!”
Once again, just in time for the crushing nail to hit Halfmoon Bear, the spear was hurled towards the arm that was not yet injured.
The feeling of digging into the skin through the leather, which felt softer than before.
‘It overlaps.’
The duration of the Vines of Tenacity in the game is 15 seconds.
This was the same here.
And the duration of Pamela’s Crushing Nail is 20 seconds.
It is said that the Sword of Loss can be used 6 times in a row, so the Nail of Crushing would be similar.
There was a cooldown in the game, and the debuff effect for one skill did not stack in the first place.
Even if you use it within the time limit, the effect time just increases.
However, in this world, it overlaps, so if you use the Crushing Nail continuously within 20 seconds, you can inflict explosive damage in a short period of time.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
In the case of Half Moon Bear, there is no need to apply an overlapping debuff, but I was already looking forward to seeing how quickly I could defeat it if I applied it against a field boss monster or a boss mob in the main story or event story.
Above all, the target was that obnoxious boss, and the fact that the debuff was overlapping was like finding a ray of hope that could be overcome.
‘If it becomes a debuff, the buff may also overlap.’
Of course, buffs used by other characters overlap, but if the buffs of skills used by one character also overlap.
By adding debuff stacks and buff stacks, you will be able to extract tremendous damage.
As a user, I feel like I want to quickly gather a party and test Dilbong.
‘Pamela must be a little tired too.’
Pamela can cast her spell her 6 times in a row.
However, she has already used it 4 times, so she doesn’t have to struggle, but she will need a break to use the next spell smoothly.
‘I’ve finished what I want to check first.’
There is no business for this Halfmoon Bear.
Choosing one of countless trajectories, he hurled his spear towards Halfmoon Bear’s neck.
[Pierced through Half Moon Bear.]
He neatly pulled back the spear that pierced Halfmoon Bear’s neck and retreated.
Half Moon Bear fell forward and did not move.
I turned around and approached Pamela.
“Sihan, Sihan. Wow, that’s amazing! You dodged the monster’s attack so easily… And finished it all in one go.”
“Thanks to your magic, I was able to catch it more easily.”
“Ah, ah, no! The magic I used wasn’t that great. Even without my magic, Mr. Shihan would have been able to catch it on his own. I hit several times, but in the end, my magic didn’t work well on the monster. … In the end, it was Mr. Shihan who finished it. As expected, even when I used the magic that Master taught me, I ended up with a pearl necklace on a pig’s neck. I’m sorry, Master…”
Again, Pamela entered into negative thinking.
Of course, the latter half of what Pamela says is ignored.
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“Ah…”
Pamela opened her mouth wide and looked in despair.
“Yeah, that’s right… It was too much for someone like me to use Master’s magic. Ha, haha, haha… I guess Mr. Sihan thought that a magician like me was useless. I’m sorry for being a useless magician. Friend. You didn’t want to become a bad guy, right? In the end, I was no more than Song Chung…”
I say what I want to say as if I were cutting off Pamela.
“The purpose of your magic is to weaken the enemy. It is natural that the power does not come out like that.”
“Yes, yes?”
“But you were truly excellent at weakening. You wouldn’t have noticed much of a difference, but when I felt it, your magic was truly amazing.”
“Wow, is it amazing? My magic?”
“Okay.”
He explained how he felt the difference in the spear being stuck when a debuff spell was cast on Pamela and how the attack went in more easily when the debuff spell overlapped.
“Ah, then when you told me to keep using the Crushing Nail, you weren’t telling me to finish it?”
“Yes. I wanted to know if the effect of your magic, which weakens the opponent, becomes stronger when used continuously.”
“Well, that’s what it was.”
“Pamela.”
She said once again, placing her hand on Pamela’s shoulder her her her her.
“Your magic is amazing. Depending on its application, it has the potential to be irreplaceable by other magicians.”
“To the extent that it can’t be replaced by other wizards?”
“Yes. Besides, as I already said, it is a magic that is compatible with mine. You are the best witch to me, Pamela.”
“Choi, the best witch… ! He, hehe, hehe…”
Pamela’s face her her her, which had been in despair a moment ago, smiled brightly as if it would melt.
“Pamela.”
“Yes. Hehe, what is it, Mr. Sihan?”
“How much rest do you need?”
“Whew, a break?”
“I used magic continuously, so how long can I rest?”
“Ah… Uh, uh… I just need to rest a little bit.”
“I see. Then take a break. I mine magic stones.”
“Ah! Let me help you!”
Pamela followed me to Halfmoon Bear’s body.
“We have to turn it over first.”
“Okay, I’ll lift the front foot.”
“No, I’ll do this alone. You should rest.”
“Yeah, but… !”
“A wizard who has done enough… No, a witch has the right to rest. Leave this effort to me, the vanguard.”
“Wow, the active witch…” ” ! Hehe…”
Except for her teacher, she had never received praise from anyone, so Pamela, who was very weak to praise, let out a laugh again, her mouth melting.
In the meantime, I flipped Half Moon Bear over.
‘It was a little heavy.’
Although it was easy to deal with, it was a bit difficult to turn it over since it was so big.
After gaining skills, I need to invest more in strength.
‘Because you will eventually have to take out the magic stones of bigger and heavier monsters than this.’
He held the spear briefly, stuck it near his chest, and waved it from side to side.
If it feels hard and bumpy when you stir it after repeating it a few times, that is where the magic stone is.
This is a trick I independently discovered when mining stone orc magic stones.
Once you find the location, immediately draw a circle around the location of the magic stone and stab it.
The part with the magic stone was removed, the magic stone was separated and placed separately in the inventory, and the remaining body was stored in the inventory to be handed over to Sasha later.
“Pamela, is it possible to recover magic power while walking?”
“Oh, yes! Ha, I can do it.”
“Then let’s move on.” I plan to catch at least five more. What do you think, Pamela?”
“Well, I do that.”
After getting Pamela’s consent, we wandered around the mountain again to look for other Half Moon Bears.
And around the time I caught the 5th Half Moon Bear.
“Si, Mr. Sihan, over there… Over there… !”
“That…”
Unlike other Half Moon Bears, the Half Moon Bear has a red half-moon pattern on its stomach.
Red Half Moon Bear, Half Moon Bear’s bandit executive position, was discovered.
‘You’re lucky’
Monsters that make more money.
If you’re not aware of it, a monster has appeared that might give you additional points.
