Chapter 37 – District 1 (T2) (10)
8. Zone 1 (2 tracks) (10)
Dripping-
In fact, the sound of the door opening was the same whether it was 1-1 or 1-5. However, the psychological effect could not be ignored. The fact that the higher the number behind it is, the closer you get to the boss, made the sound more intimidating.
[Layman 1]
[Layman 2]
[Apprentice Priest]
[Layman]
Max HP: 26
Attack Power: 4~7
Defense: 1
Speed: 5
[Apprentice Priest]
Max HP: 23
Attack Power: 3~5
Defense: 1
Speed: 3
1-5 were regular monster rooms. But it was three. It was a configuration that could cause as much damage as an elite monster in some cases to a level 1 player.
‘Are you okay. Their stamina is almost full, and Kaya and Shay have gained traits as well. The momentum is good.’
[Speed check]
Shay: 4
Kaya: 4
Eugene: 7
Lay1: 5
Lay2: 5
Apprentice Priest: 3
[Eugene’s turn comes first.]
‘This bastard, even a layman, has a high speed, right?’
Both laymen and apprentice priests wore dull robes, but despite this, the unpleasant smell and repulsive appearance were not hidden. No, they didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding it in the first place.
‘I have to start with the apprentice priest.’
Laymen were among the junk mobs with only ordinary normal attacks, not to mention an attack pattern, but the Priest was different. It was a mob that focused on mentality attacks.
However, the position of the current apprentice priest is 3 rows of enemies.
It was a distance that Kayana Shei’s main skills, ‘God’s will’ and ‘Judgement of Justice’ could not reach. Until now, I had dealt with one per room, two at most, so I didn’t care.
‘It’s possible to crush the head, but what if the critical hit doesn’t go off in one shot?’
It was not a situation where I could afford to suffer a decrease in mentality in the junk mob section. If I left that priest alive for one turn and received a mental attack, that could be the beginning of a snowball.
‘I give up this turn deal.’
[Where are you running away]
A technique that has never been used before in actual combat, where you pull enemies in the back row (3rd and 4th rows) forward with a rope.
Are Kaya and Shay in a position where they can’t hit?
Then you just have to “Force” It to a position where you can hit it.
I twirled the rope deftly, then threw it at the apprentice priest beyond the layman. The snap fits snugly, and it felt good.
“Fear!!!”
“Priest!!!”
“Illo and you bastard!”
[Eugene deals 1 damage to the Apprentice Priest.]
[Remaining HP 22/23]
[Eugene succeeds in attracting the apprentice priest.]
[The Apprentice Priest is in the first row.]
[Layperson 1 and Layperson 2 are pushed one space at a time.]
“Nice!”
Wherever you ran away, it was successful. Now, Kaya and Shay could simmer that apprentice priest with peace of mind.
“Fear!”
“Dare!”
[Cleave Serving Fear]
[Layman 1 dealt 1 damage to Shay.]
[Remaining HP 14/17]
Wow. It’s amazing that you put in 1 damage, but you’re a layman?
Originally, Shay’s defense should have been 3, but thanks to the Genius trait, she got 1, and thanks to the newly acquired steadfastness trait, she gained 1 defense, making her defense 5. It pierces it and inflicts 1 damage.
[Layman 2 skips his turn.]
‘Puhahaha! That’s right, you assholes!’
And the second reason for my decision to attract the priest.
The layman was a monster that could only attack on our front row (lines 1 and 2). What about layman 2, who was pushed to the third row because of the apprentice priest brought to the first row?
There was nothing I could do. Besides, the guy’s movement distance is 1 square. Even if I switched places with him before, the next turn only made layman 1 an idiot.
[Speed roll]
Shay: 3
Kaya: 1
[Shay’s turn will precede Kaya’s turn.]
‘Kaya is true too.’
It didn’t matter who won, but seeing Kaya lose even at times like this made me feel sorry for her.
‘I really need to carry Kaya…’
I unlocked Shay’s limit. She channeled the rage she had accumulated after reading her prophecies into her claymore and wielded it with all her might.
“Die!!!”
[Judgement of Justice]
[Shay dealt 9 damage to the Apprentice Priest.]
[Remaining HP 13/23]
[The apprentice priest is stunned (1 turn).]
[The Apprentice Priest cannot perform any action on the next turn.]
[The apprentice priest is branded with the mark of judgment.]
Considering that I didn’t get a stigma and didn’t get a critical hit, that was decent damage. I also passed out. She seemed regretful that Shay couldn’t be cut in half, but she didn’t get any more excited. She recognized that she was in combat.
“Leader.”
“Uh?”
And Kaya, who was in a position similar to her unique crouching start, turned to me. Why? Curious, I read a small wind in her eyes. Meaning can be understood with just the eyes… Is this the power of relationship 4?
“Joe.”
“As the captain wishes.”
Kaya, with a bright smile, showed off an explosive rush that could be said to be that of a runner, and used her inertia to wield a (no) benevolent mace.
Aaaaah-!
A torrent of light that wasn’t even quick-and-fast was engulfing the dungeon. Shay was shocked, but it wasn’t the first time Kaya and I had seen that pillar of light.
[Everything according to God’s will]
[Volente Deo – God’s will dwells in the mace.]
[The Apprentice Priest will die instantly regardless of remaining HP.]
[The apprentice priest has died.]
[The will of the god who descended for a while takes care of the empty hearts of the warriors.]
[Shay Mentality +6]
[Eugene mentality +4]
[Kaya mentality +7]
[The judgment mark is activated. Shay’s HP is restored by 2.]
[Remaining HP 16/17]
[Kaya can act again.]
5%. 1 in 20. One of her fingers and toes combined.
Another instant kill that sent monsters to the sky regardless of physical strength, except for the boss monster, exploded again. Good night. Very good. There are times when 95% won’t explode, and sometimes 5% will explode, isn’t this the taste of playing this game?
Kaya may be pushed by Shay in everything else, but this one skill, ‘Everything goes according to God’s will’, was already an ending level skill.
‘La Ella. Another one goes up.’
The pillar of light was amazing to see again. It was majestic and divine. It was bright, but not blindingly dazzling. However, at the same time, the coldness of condemning evil things coexisted. It seemed to reproduce the power of Goddess Raella, where warmth and coolness coexist.
Kaya, who hit the second home run of the season, as well as Shay, who saw the pillar of light for the first time, got down on one knee and prayed briefly, even though the battle was not over. It was an act she wouldn’t have allowed originally, but it didn’t matter.
Thanks to the special effects, it was Kaya’s turn again anyway.
“… Leader.”
“Good job. You did really well.”
Nod-
Kaya, who greeted the pillar of light closest to her, looked noble like a saint. Her nobility soon vanished as she raised her bloodstained mace, but in my eyes it looked more reliable and pretty.
‘Uh? Beautifully… ?’
Anyway.
Kaya smiled as she nodded her head full of compliments.
Perok-
In an instant, he became serious and drove a mace into the face of layman 1.
[Everything according to God’s will]
[Kaya dealt 10 damage to layman 1.]
[Remaining HP 16/26]
And then it was my turn again.
“Take your head.”
I don’t know anything else, but bounty hunters are the original source of picking the heads of humanoid monsters. It’s not really a competition, but he’s a captain, so he can’t just fly the rope once and end the battle.
[Crush the head]
Quadduk-
[Fatal blow!]
Good taste
**
After a short break, I immediately went 1-5. Condition was good and morale was full. Having broken 1-5, it was already past the 5th ridge.
‘Not bad.’
1-1 Normal, 1-2 Elite, 1-3 Chest, 1-4 Rest, 1-5 Normal.
I didn’t want to consider it a standardized ‘pattern’ in this place where elements of luck were scattered everywhere, but if that pattern was followed, the elite could come out from 1-6.
‘If it’s 1-6, the first section has definitely passed, so there’s no way a fearsome warrior will appear.’
There were quite a few types of elite monsters that appeared in District 1, but in fact, all of them were shit. It’s just that it’s different in which part is more fucked up. So, depending on the combination of the warriors, the sameness of shit changes to some extent.
‘The biggest reason for feeling like a dick in Area 1 is that we are Level 1.’
Except for the lucky level-up event or when recruiting a level 2 or higher colleague from the beginning, most of the challengers in District 1 are level 1 warriors.
Since the absolute specifications themselves were lagging behind, it was unavoidable that they would come in painfully no matter how they were attacked.
“Sister.”
“… Shay?”
“The light that Kaya-sister called out.”
Before we knew it, we reached the door of 1-6. While I was taking a deep breath and controlling my mental state before entering, Shay spoke to Kaya.
“Me too… Can I?”
“Mmm.”
“No, pretend I didn’t hear it. Forget it sister.”
Shay shook her head and cut her off. She had the look of asking something for nothing. Kaya opened her mouth, saw Shay’s expression on her, then shut her mouth again.
What is it I don’t think it’s jealousy.
“Can I open it, Captain?”
“Okay.”
It doesn’t seem like anything urgent, so I decided to focus on 1-6 for now.
Ki-Ik-
The same door as always, but a little heavier opens.
“To the horror–!”
Coo-!
[Encountered an elite monster, 〈 Dread Warrior 〉.]
“Submit–!”
[The speed of all warriors decreases by 1 due to the fear warrior’s overwhelming force.]
“Where does that bastard worse than dog poop sound worse than insect-!”
As usual, Shay screamed in a seizure, but it did not completely counteract her intimidating effect. I knew that her eardrums were bursting as soon as they screamed, and she grabbed her ears with her hands and couldn’t do anything, so her shape should be so great.
‘It’s an empty match. Write it.’
A warrior of fear, commonly known as idle battle.
This elite monster that looks like a savage with a swarthy added to it… In a word, it was a blessing in disguise. Of course, the game itself had its ups and downs, but it still had a direction. Fearless warriors have strong mental attacks instead of weak physicals, or the guardian of the altar that I experienced in the dungeon possesses various abilities in three forms.
First of all, his physical condition was good. However, depending on the pattern and the target, that bastard’s attack could become hell or an idiot.
‘Got mode or idle mode.’
What if that guy uses a pattern called god mode, ignoring the tanker, intensively harassing the weak rear row, and destroying the holding power at once?
‘We don’t even have a Pure Healer, so that might be better… No, wait.’
Now, the ranks were in the order of Shay-Kaya-Na, and unusually, the warriors in charge of healing the party stood in the first and second rows in a strange shape. That means…
‘Is it me?’
[Speed check]
‘Oh, no.’
Shay: 3
Kaya: 3
Eugene: 6
Dread Warriors: 6
[The speed of Eugene and the Warrior of Fear is the same.]
[Speed roll]
Eugene: 4
Dread Warriors: 5
[Frightening Strike]
“Ahahahahahahahaha-!!”
I couldn’t help but curse when I saw a huge ax the size of my upper body, with a bit of exaggeration, ignoring Shay and Kaya and coming straight at me.
“Fuck.”
Kwaaaaang-!
“Leader!!!”
“I’m the captain-!!!”
Am I alive?
