Chapter 127 – A Bunch of Bugs (4)
How much did you have to attack to find his next attack point?
It feels like a long time has passed, but there has been no improvement yet.
Once Renia removed all the tentacles on the synthetic beast’s head, the rest of us attacked the synthetic beast’s body and tried to find the next area to attack.
But no matter how many times I attacked every corner, I couldn’t figure out where to attack next.
“Huh, huh… Where on earth are you…”
It is quite difficult to move around along the synthetic beast’s huge body.
There must be something to attack next.
I just can’t find it.
Am I thinking wrong?
Before I had time to think to myself, the synthetic beast’s tail opened its second mouth and came towards me.
“Jinunim!”
Perhaps because of her tired body, she noticed the synthetic beast’s attack and tried to avoid it, but her body did not listen to her, and Ellie, who saw that, was able to avoid the synthetic beast’s attack by quickly holding me and moving.
“Thank you, Ellie.”
“I just did the obvious thing. Anyway, I can’t find that guy’s weakness.”
Everyone listens to me and is diligently looking for the next attack area, but there is no progress at all.
Where on earth could it be? It certainly didn’t end up unfinished.
As I recall, at the meeting, the Elion operator said that it had definitely been completed.
However, I remember her saying that she thought it would be a good idea to remove it because it had a lot of bugs, but she clearly made it to the end.
So, there must be a way to defeat this guy.
Let’s think about it step by step again.
By absorbing other demons from Kraken’s body and combining them, he became the current synthetic demon.
I also saw that no damage was taken at all from other parts, and when I attacked the tentacle on her head, I found out that it was the part that attacked the synthetic beast in the current phase by confirming that the damage was properly taken.
After we destroyed all the tentacles, the synthetic beast now changed its tail to create a second mouth and transformed into its original form of shooting water streams from its head and tail.
The problem is that I can’t find the next area to attack here.
Also, the tentacles that were removed keep regenerating, disturbing us.
Fortunately, there has been no major damage on our side yet, but we could also suffer great damage if we are hit incorrectly by the synthetic beast’s attack.
“Ugh… It’s annoying that my attacks don’t work at all!”
“This guy doesn’t taste good when cut. His attacks aren’t that great, but his body is really big. I thought it would be a fun fight, but it wasn’t at all.”
Yuria and Noah, who were dealing with the synthetic beast, frowned and let out irritated words from their mouths.
I completely sympathize with this, because fighting an opponent who can never be defeated is not fun at all.
I thought things would work out easily, but it seems like I don’t have that.
Meanwhile, the synthetic beast’s tail opened its new mouth once again and tried to shoot a stream of water at us.
Those of us who saw that tried to avoid the water stream attack by leaving the spot.
Now that I think about it, how does that tail know our location?
His mind is currently busy wrestling with Renia.
Renia, a family with regenerating tentacles, is destroying them all.
Naturally, the head of the synthetic beast is busy attacking Renia, who is bothering him.
So how on earth does this tail know our location?
Currently, Tails only has a new large mouth, not a new face.
Therefore, the tail does not have new eyes.
Nevertheless, this tail pinpoints our location.
How?
Are we able to find our location by feeling energy around us, a setting that often appears in fantasy novels?
There is no such setting in the daemon.
No matter how much they are called monsters in games, demons are ultimately creatures in today’s reality.
With no eyes or ears, how does the synthetic beast’s tail accurately find our location and attack us?
I wondered if there might be an answer here.
Wow!
Quack!
A stream of water shot from the tail passes by us and hits the floor, making a tremendous sound.
“Ah… There was a place we hadn’t attacked yet.”
“Huh? Where are you talking about?”
We attacked the entire body of the synthetic demon beast without fail.
Despite this, there was no visible area anywhere on the synthetic beast’s body that seemed to need to be attacked next.
I had a feeling that the tail that changed into a new attack would be the next part of the attack, but no matter how much Yuria and Noah attacked, it didn’t budge.
However, from a thought I just had, I realized that there were parts that had not been attacked yet.
“Noah, this is the moment when the new mouth on its tail opens. Do you want to attack the inside of its mouth then?”
“Inside there? Okay, okay.”
As we dodged the stream of water it shot, its tail opened its mouth once again and rushed towards us.
〈Blood Spear〉
In his right hand, Noah created a spear larger than his own body out of blood and threw it into the mouth of the tail of the synthetic demon beast charging in front of him.
It was the body of a synthetic demon beast that had not been affected by any of our attacks until now, but Noah pierced the inside of the synthetic demon beast’s tail mouth with her thrown spear.
“Kwaaaaa!”
The synthetic demon screamed and turned its head toward us due to the sudden pain it felt in its tail.
Looking at the synthetic demon beast now, it seems like the thoughts that came to my mind were correct.
Now that I think about it, there were simply two patterns for the composite demon beast’s tail.
It lunges towards us with its mouth open and then shoots a stream of water from its mouth.
It seems that Tails’ pattern was to attack us by repeating these two actions.
The tail is one of the parts that can move the body flexibly, so why did they only include those two patterns?
And how do we find our location?
The moment these two thoughts came into my head, I thought that this might have been intentionally created by Elion operators.
How can a creature in real life accurately attack an enemy’s location with its tail while its head is looking elsewhere?
However, if we assume that the existence of a demon is a creature that embodies in reality the patterns in the game that I know, the above behavior can also be explained.
Now, in the next phase of the synthetic beast, after the mouth is formed from the tail and attacks the users, it has been patterned into a program, and now the pattern is being implemented right in front of us.
So wouldn’t it be possible to accurately attack the enemy’s location even without eyes?
Also, despite being able to add a new pattern called the tail, Elion operators only added two simple patterns to the tail.
Why did they only include two things?
Considering the patterns created by Elion operators so far, if the tail part was flexible, it would not only lunge like it does now, but at least a whipping pattern would have been added.
However, the fact that it did not do so is also proof that the tail is the next area to attack.
If the area to be attacked next is so aggressive that it is difficult to hit, the difficulty does not increase accordingly.
Elion operators were probably concerned about that, so they added only two simple patterns.
In conclusion, it became clear in my mind that the tail was the next part, so which part of the tail should I attack?
And the answer was already there.
In the current phase, the newly created area, the inside of the tail’s mouth, was the area to be attacked next.
So even if you attack hard on the top of the body, it is unlikely to cause any damage.
“Oh, that’s where I had to attack. It’s the owner after all!”
“Let’s all attack the inside of the mouth.”
After seeing Noah’s attack work, everyone knew where they should attack and fired their attack towards the tail’s mouth.
Despite being attacked, the synthetic beast’s tail continued to spread its pattern towards us as if it didn’t matter.
It repeatedly rushed towards us and spouted out a stream of water, and we timed the synthetic beast’s tail as it opened its mouth and rushed towards us and poured a skill into the tail’s mouth.
〈Divine Furnishment〉
〈Blood Spear〉
〈Dragonian Brass〉
Ellie filled the mace with divine power and swung it towards the mouth under the tail, and the spear made of Noah’s blood and Yuria’s brush were fierce towards the opened mouth.
“Kwaaaaa!”
The synthetic demon beast, which was already in pain thanks to Renia destroying its tentacles, noticed another pain coming from her tail and immediately moved her body to retrieve her tail.
No, I think it would be correct to say that I was trying to move.
“No, why? Why don’t you listen to me!”
The synthetic beast’s tail continued to attack us as if it didn’t care what its head told it to do.
In fact, it almost makes you wonder if the head of the synthetic beast is now being dragged by its tail.
Is this also some kind of bug?
