Chapter 180 – District 3 (9)
21. District 3 (9)
Immune to status ailments twice, so even if you stigmatize it, it will be chewed as it is. So labeling it was throwing the turn away. Also, since the critical hit was immune to it once, the possibility of killing it was zero.
[Shay fell into near death.]
[The effect of Faith Veil is activated.]
[Shay’s current HP has reached 1.]
[The veil of faith is destroyed.]
[Veil of Faith]
– Applies to: Crusader, Battle Nun, Healing Nun
– Miracle chance + 9
– When reaching her near death, restore her health to 1
– Destroy when effect is activated
Know.
If there was insurance called Raella’s appearance when attacking, there was insurance called Veil of Faith when defending. He knew very well that only Kaya and Shay would be able to prevent a massacre.
But.
‘What is that?’
It didn’t change that he had driven Shay to her death, and Shay had to suffer another form of death.
Just as Kaya freaked out at my condition, so did I. However, I only had two actions to do anyway, labeling them as wanted criminals or attacking them with head crushing, but since finding wanted criminals was limited, there was only one thing left.
In short, it was a fucking legitimate attack.
‘Since the stigma was erased, the 25% amplification is gone, but there was a 33% near-death debuff in the previous round… Excluding the fact that there is no critical hit, the expected damage is greater this turn.’
If possible, he hoped that he would get a critical hit and erase his critical hit immunity, and he maintained a ray of reason even though he was filled with anger.
[Crush the head]
[Eugene deals 18 damage to Heart of Fear.]
[Remaining HP 48/225]
“Fuck… !”
The critical hit that used to rise at 20 percent didn’t rise now that it had been raised to 40 percent. I cursed out. My head quickly cooled after seeing the stamina remaining and the condition of the warriors.
“Under…”
Next to me was Illumina’s turn, and I realized that this was where the battle would end.
‘Shay’s speed buff is off due to near death, and Kaya is out of action this round. Right after Illumina, another fucking bastard…’
If that bastard attacks Shay. Or if she attacks me 4 times in a row saying she’s crazy.
It was secondary torticollis, or encroachment. If so… There was nothing else to see. It was a ruin ending angle.
“Hendrick…”
“…”
Illumina looked at me with anxious eyes. The trembling of her fingers on her strings seemed like she had an intuition about what to do.
“Illumina.”
“Yes.”
“Cut the strings.”
“…”
Maintaining 2 stacks of the original Raid Melody? Or switch to a melody of vitality or a melody of courage?
No.
Even if I can’t kill him here, even if either I or Shay gets attacked and falls into death or encroachment again.
I had to fly a gungun here. Maybe it was the last chance.
Illumina, who was ordered to exhilarate again this time before the last gatekeeper in Area 2, shut her mouth tightly. She put her trembling hand into her bosom and pulled out her sharp-tipped pick. She then touched her first string for a moment, then tightened her fingers.
[Excellence]

[The effect of the melody disappears.]

[Shay mentality +12]
[Kaya mentality +13]
[Eugene mentality +12]
[Illumina mentality +13]
Each time the strings of the Vapor were cut, a sharp wind that seemed to be cut blew through the body of the heartless bastard. Although he didn’t have a great melody of courage and couldn’t do huge damage, there was an income.
It was like that when I cut a lot of physical strength, and it was like that when I erased status ailments and debuffs 2 times and cut the speed of the heartless bastard by 4. If he hadn’t been immune to debuffs, he would have been able to drive that guy’s speed further into the gutter and even feed him a speed penalty, but for now, just delaying his turn to the very back was a good thing.
“Shay.”
“Captain, sir…”
Shay’s appearance was truly pitiful. Her armor was pierced, and there was no place left unstained by her blood. This isn’t the first time she’s suffered near death, but she honestly wonders how she’s even alive.
But just like me, Shay was alive and breathing. She even said that the first time she fell into near death in the dungeon, she fainted and she was carried on my back. Shey, like me, was in danger, but she stood up on her own.
I didn’t know that we were already monsters in the dungeon.
“Shay.”
“Yes…”
To put it bluntly, the odds of Shay killing him here were extremely low. There was a near-death debuff, and Illumina had just used Superbly, so even the critical strike rate buff was gone. But there was no need to attach a sajok. We gave everything we could and did our best. Are you okay, can you move properly, this turn’s success or failure, our lives depend on it, etc… I knew everything without having to say anything. So I just nodded. Shay, whose complexion was extremely pale due to the loss of her blood, raised the corners of her mouth even in this situation.
“Lol… I went, I will come.”
Drurrrr
At least Shay’s claymore was long and heavy compared to my axe, which was short and not that heavy. It was an absurd request to hold a weapon properly for a person whose ability to even stand up and walk is a miracle.
“What… What… ! What the hell are you guys talking about! How, how are you alive? How do you overcome your fear? How the hell can an unbeliever endure the pressure felt here closest to him!”
“Noisy…”
“It can’t be like this. I can’t do this!”
Shay’s progress was very slow. Even as she staggered, the sight of her back as she dragged her heavy sword forward was a heartbreaking yet solemn sight. But she seemed to see Shay’s face as something incomprehensible to a man with a heartache.
“Stop.”
“…”
“Stop!”
Veins spurted out on the back of Shay’s hand as she approached her attack range before she knew it. She wasn’t in the usual chopping position with her axe. Rather, she twisted her body with her sword, which was hanging down to her side, and stretched it all the way back.
“Die————-!!!!!”
And as if she had walked slowly all this time only for this moment, she twisted her whole body and cast a violent horizontal slash.
It was an attack that clearly showed the will to hit him as hard as possible without thinking about his posture or the aftermath.
[Judgement of Justice]
[A wonderful blow!]
[Shay deals 20 damage to Heart of Fear.]
[5/225 HP remaining]
[The Heart of Fear resists judgment.]
[The Heart of Fear resists the status ‘stun’.]
[The heart of fear is branded with the mark of judgment.]
[Stigma lasts for 3 turns.]
“Kaaaaagh–!!”
“Shay!!!!!”
It was wonderful.
Shay’s attack was a full blow. The expression that she poured everything into that blow was a perfect fit. She really did, but right after her attack, she couldn’t hold her stance and she collapsed, leaving a deep cut on her fucking stomach. The damage was low compared to what Raella-sama and I did, but he was screaming and struggling because his remaining stamina was like that.
“Ha ha, ha, ha…”
“… Great job.”
It was.
The bastard didn’t follow.
[Kaya cannot take any action.]
[Kaya passes her turn.]
The fact that Kaya’s turn came, who was unable to act due to the aftereffects of the incarnation, confirmed once again that he was not behind…
“Longest fear! Here my lowly servant longs for your grace! More power! More overwhelming fear for those unbelievers!”
When that guy’s life was on the verge, his initial attitude was nowhere to be found, and he finally started praying to the fear bastard. It was the last phase, the last phase, in which he prayed to fear and drew strength when he could not overcome it even with the power of his heart.
Originally, before this pattern, they would have used more diverse, yet all fucking skills. However, it seems like I’m about to break my head once and become a meat piece to Raella-sama, and I look like I’m going to lose myself in an instant after hitting the boss in District 3…
If La Ella hadn’t pushed through such an outrageous deal, how much worse would he have suffered.
While I was thinking about that for a while, the bastard’s prayer was nearing its end. I ignored it and checked the status of my colleagues.
‘… Maybe, if you’re really unlucky, this might be the last thing you see with a sane mind.’
Kaya, who has been unable to open her eyes even though the incapacity condition has been resolved, and Shay, who is only conscious but seriously injured in a situation that is as good as dead. Illumina, which had to be cut off. With Shay’s tenacity and Raella’s appearance, the near death debuff disappeared, but even me, who was on the verge of bursting into mentality.
Until just before, I was full of anger towards the heartache, but maybe it was because I was in a bad condition and poured everything into it.
Rather than fear and worry about being fucked… It felt like it was out of our hands.
‘If Shay is going to die again, she’d rather attack me. It’s a heartbreaker.’
The bastard’s prayers are over. I couldn’t find the first look in him anymore. It looked like it was half swallowed up, not enough black energy to flow around it.
“This strength He has given you.”
There was a black mass floating above his right hand.
“Look smart.”
[Release Fear]
[Brightness: 0]
The dungeon was enveloped in complete darkness.
