Fell in the Highest Difficulty Dungeon 24

Chapter 24 – Between Heresy and Forbidden (5)

7. Between Heresy and Forbidden (5)

Looking at Kaya’s fatal blow, the law of preserving luck also existed. Kaya, who had lost two consecutive rolls to both Shay and him, took a critical hit with his first attack.

Kaya, I thought I was a 2nd tier level many times. I was wrong. It was stupid. How dare someone like me put a ‘tier’ on Miss Kayane.

Oh my God, if there is a combat nun who can attack well like that, ask her to come out!

‘Okay. If you have luck, you have to have luck too.’

Officially, there was no such thing as a ‘lucky’ stat. But how can people live without luck? Luck is a fickle thing, you may not know how to fuck it later, but that’s for later.

For now, it would be better to think that a gift has fallen from the sky and drive the momentum.

‘Let’s get lucky too!’

My turn back.

What if I also land a critical hit here? What if it also launches Macdem?

Let’s go!

[Crush the head]
[Eugene did 2 damage to the guardian knight of the altar.]
[Remaining HP 39/69]

“… Under?”

This is not It’s not a lot.

It’s a humanoid monster, it’s branded, and there’s even an additional compensation for humanoid 4 damage in head crushing.

2 dem?

‘Did you fuck with a mindem?!’

I, Kaya, put in a deal so well that I forgot about it for a while…

You are the main dealer.

It shouldn’t be like this.

The attack was successful, so there was no decline in mentality. However, apart from that, there was damage to my mentality.

‘No. It’s not a mindem issue. It must be because of that gimmick!’

Unfortunately, my turn has already ended, and my turn passed to him without exception. Looking at Shay, he raised his sword with a firm expression and took a defensive posture.

This time, the knight was in the stance of an end-to-end slash.

“It’s great… !”

[Type 1 – Press Down]
[The guardian knight of the altar dealt 5 damage to Shay.]
[Remaining HP 8/17]
[Shay is resisting the boulder.]

“What… !”

Again, I received damage close to Macdem, but the last message that popped up made my anxiety surge.

It wasn’t that I was suffering from a status abnormality, or that I didn’t resist, but that ongoing message…

[Resistance roll]

A harbinger of roll!
The resistance roll was a random event that occurred with a certain probability on the resisting side when the probability of status abnormality and resistance probability were equal. If you win here, the resistance will be successful, and if you lose, you will get a status abnormality right away. In the case of a tie, it was most likely a re-roll or a losing decision depending on the situation.

If the odds were even, the attacking side was often judged to have a slight advantage, so it had to win unconditionally.

‘Please, please, please, please, please!’

Shay: 5
Altar Guardian Knight: 5

‘This!’

[The resistance roll is tied. Roll is reset.]
[Resistance roll]

“Whoa, whoa, whoa.”

Fortunately, the resistance did not lead to defeat. I was very fortunate I don’t know what kind of status abnormality it might cause, but since it was Shay’s turn right after that one, there was a high possibility that if she got a status abnormality, she would just blow the turn with a high probability.

‘Shay! Is that all your madness is? Didn’t you have a seizure like that just to collapse here? Right? I don’t know what caused his personality to be like that, but heretics, we have to beat him!’

Shay, who was still antagonistic with the knight, twisted her head slightly. There’s no way I can hear my thoughts now, but for some reason it seemed to be looking at me.

– There’s no way Shay will get tired of that disgusting bastard who imitates a knight on the subject of that dirty and ugly heretic bastard, Captain?

Her eyes, which met for a very short time, seemed to say this.

Shay: 6
Altar Guardian Knight: 5

[Shay resists the boulder.]
[Shay is not affected by the status ‘passing out’.]
[The fear of the hero’s fighting spirit stops crawling for a moment.]
[Former warrior mentality +3]

“Shayyyyy-! You’ve held up well! Good job!”

“Shay!”

I did it.

그 와중에 저 씨발새끼가 두 번 연속 5를 띄운 게 소름이었지만, 우리 미친년, 아니 천재 퀸셰이님이 5와 6을 띄우셨다. So she resisted. That’s it. Shay’s resistance was so heartbreaking that even Kaya shouted her name without the word ‘nim’.

Her resistance, which she saw with her own eyes, was not something that could be expressed with messages like her 100% luck roll.

That’s a tank, that’s a crusader.

Besides look that calm look. He seemed to insist that the battle was still in full swing.

Thanks to you, I have regained my composure. My attack set the tone, but Shay pulled it back up. Even now it was her turn. It would be nice if her fighting spirit led to an attack…

‘For a moment.’

I changed my mind just before instructing him to feed the judgment of justice once more. It was very spontaneous.

‘Shay! Crusader’s tenacity once again!’

Hard-

[Shay activates Crusader’s Tenacity (2).]
[For 3 turns, you will never be pushed back.]
[Shay’s speed increases by 1(2).]
[Shay’s HP is restored by 1 (2) every turn.]
[When attacked, you can counterattack only once.]
[Remaining HP 10/17]
[Counterattack 1]

Shay’s ‘Crusader’s Tenacity’ could be stacked. Theoretically, it was possible to stack 3, but since you can’t just apply buffs continuously, the only practical possibility is up to 2 stacks, but it was still meaningful.

The very next turn.

Shay’s speed will be 6 next turn.

And.

[Everything according to God’s will]
[Kaya dealt 5 damage to the guardian knight of the altar.]
[Remaining HP 34/69]
[Recovers 1 HP of Eugene with the ultimate attack.]
[Eugene remaining HP 15/15]

It’s my turn again

It was the last turn where the stigma was maintained. The stigma would disappear if I attacked. As a result, the number of options has been increased to three.

1. To attack
2. Renew the stigma for Shay and Kaya’s follow-up.
3. Throw a flashbang in preparation for the enemy’s fierce attack.

Looking at Shay and Kaya’s specs, I quickly calculated the expected damage with and without the stigma.

The expected damage was twice as high. No matter how much I was in the main dealer position right now, I was level 1 and there was nothing special. In theory, it was better to apply a new brand and amplify the damage of two people than to receive amplification by myself.

Looking at Shay’s condition, number 3 was good in terms of immediate safety. As long as the status abnormality ‘blindness’ is applied, that bastard’s attack will miss with a fairly high probability.

But feel.

It wasn’t rotten water, but my intuition as a gamer, who had been treated as a dead person, was whispering to me to choose number 1.

[Crush the head]
[A great blow!]
[Eugene inflicted 30 damage to the guardian knight of the altar.]
[Remaining HP 4/69]
[The warriors who witnessed the great blow forgot their fear for a moment.]
[Shay Mentality +4]
[Eugene mentality +5]
[Kaya Mentality +6]
[The effect of Detecting Wanted Criminals has been removed from the Altar Guardian Knight.]

And the answer was not wrong.

“Gaaaaa————!!!”

“Fuck——–!!”

“Leader!!!”

“Captain!!!”

The knight howled in pain, and I howled in joy. He wasn’t behind yet, but he couldn’t calm down. It was the same for Shay and Kaya. They might not be able to see the exact stamina like me, but they could tell. The blow he had just made had brought him to the brink of scavenging in an instant.

Furthermore.

“Shay!”

“Yes! It’s the captain!!!”

Although it will go back to 1 stack at the end of this turn, Shay’s speed became 6 for this turn, and she outpaced his turn.

The gamble of increasing speed instead of attack came close to becoming the key to success.

“Live! Heresy!!!”

Licking the blood from the corners of her mouth with her tongue, Shay swung her sword.

[Judgement of Justice]
[Shay dealt 5 damage to the guardian knight at the altar.]
[Remaining HP -1/69]
[The altar’s guardian knight refuses to judge.]
[Guardian knights at the altar resist ‘fainting’.]

“Uh… ?”

Remaining HP 4. Damage dealt 5.

So the refreshed remaining health is -1.

However.

Why isn’t he falling down?

Why don’t I get a message saying I’m dead?

“————-.”

“Aaaaagh!”

“No————!!!”

Forgetting that it was a turn-based battle, I tried to run forward with my hands outstretched at the sight in front of me. However, it wasn’t my turn. Still, I couldn’t move.

[Revenge from Severe Resentment]
[All the grudges surrounding the guardian knight of the altar are consumed.]
[The altar’s guardian knight recovers 1 HP and resurrects.]
[All damage reduction by 2 is canceled.]
[The state where each attack approaches maximum damage is canceled.]
[Attack power increases by 3.]
[Returns double damage (fixed) to the warrior who last hit the altar’s guardian knight.]
[Shay took 10 damage.]
[Remaining HP 0/17]

“… …”

Dooku-!

[Shay has entered a state of death.]
[All buffs on Shay are removed.]
[All Shay’s values ​​are reduced by 33%.]
[If she takes damage while in near death, Shay dies.]
[Fear quickly seeps into the hearts of the warriors, and despair fills them.]
[Eugene Mentality – 17]
[Kaya Mentality – 22]

It was dark, but the knight who maintained his human form completely turned into a monster, and had a crazy gimmick called damage reflection after being revived.

And, the target of the reflection was Shay, who had been attacked twice and lost half of his blood.

Even more unlucky, I was hit with a hit (damage that fits my physical strength).

Death (death). Borders of death.

In The Long Terror, unless it was a really special ability or situation, even if the physical strength was reduced to 0 or less at once, it did not die instantly. Instead, he fell into a state of ‘death to death’. All values ​​are reduced by 33%, and all buffs are removed. And if he takes damage even once, he will die forever. The only insurance device, the only seat belt, in The Long Terror, a hardcore roguelike game.

However, once a hero fell into death or near death, the hearts of not only the warriors but also the gamers who played them shook. Such a suffocating situation in which the cherished warrior disappears at the mere touch of the wind. Trying to retreat somehow, the hero who fell into death somehow tries to kill the monster before he dies.

Of course, if you restore your HP to 1 or more, you can get out of the near death state… As much as the turn of the other warriors was wasted, and all stats were already reduced to 1/3, so it was not a problem to fall into a state of near death again. In the meantime, the warriors’ mentality and physical condition must be destroyed.

Still, The Long Terror was a game.

Even if the health was 0, even the hero who fell into death was able to act. It was said that even if the health was 0 and the number was black, it was possible to attack or move.

But.

“Shay!!! Wake up!!! Shay!!!!!”

“Shay!! Shay!!!”

Kaya and I grabbed Shay, who fell like a corpse with blood spurting from the chil-gong, and we couldn’t come to our senses.

It was really, really hopeless.

To die like this?

Really?

I was in the highest high mood just a moment ago, how is this?

Does that make sense?

Double reflection with fixed damage after reviving? Does it make sense

Haha, haha.

I can’t speak, I can’t speak

He’s not even the boss. Here, it’s an indungeon.

But how are you?

Wasn’t it so bad that you were greedy for Shay, who was like a gift that fell from the sky? So you want to clean it up again?

No matter how difficult it is, it doesn’t have to be made so that people can break it…

[The speed of the Altar Guardian Knight and Kaya are the same.]

“…”

[Speed ​​roll]

However, the despair was not over yet.
