Chapter 177 – All-Out War Against Void (6)
We briefly tied up the enemies who had fused with Modeus and Indus with 〈 God’s Power: Divine Spear 〉 and immediately left the place.
Our ultimate goal is to defeat Void, but what we need to do right now is not to defeat the enemy, but to rescue our comrades trapped in Morphea City.
If you just join Rhenia, Yuria, and Freya, there is Freya’s buff that is incomparably better than the buff I give you.
And Renia, the strongest of my characters, is added.
Lastly, if the necklace I gave you is still intact, you will be able to summon the last remaining Elsha.
Simply running along the road is too slow.
〈 God’s Power: We never know when the enemies we have temporarily tied up with Shinchang 〉 will come after us.
As I was running around looking around, I realized that my stats had increased tremendously due to the buff, so I immediately strengthened my legs and jumped up.
Perhaps thanks to my increased abilities through my own buff, I was able to climb onto the roof of a tall building in one jump.
Okay, this can go faster.
When I jumped up and climbed onto the branch, he jumped up from his seat with me.
Rachel, whose strength was low, moved while being held in Lien’s arms.
Holding the compass in my hand, I ran after checking the direction of the compass needle.
I hope nothing happens.
I hope that what this compass is pointing to right now is the necklace that I handed over to Freya.
Now, the story won’t unfold that the compass is pointing because there is other equipment, right?
As we ran, the compass needle moved slightly, which meant that the necklace was not lying somewhere, but that someone was moving around with it.
I don’t know if it’s Freya or something else.
To check that, we run even faster.
As I ran between buildings and looked down, I saw enemies that looked similar to the enemies we defeated earlier.
To be precise, there were not only the miscellaneous demons that were defeated earlier, but also enemies that had fused with demons of various levels.
That’s quite a lot. It looks like they are probably moving to surround us.
If I hadn’t moved up to the roof like I did now, I might have been blocked by their meat wall and become stranded.
However, it takes too much time to defeat them all.
While we are fighting, there is no doubt that the enemies that have fused with Modeus and Induce that we tied up earlier will come after us.
Moving onto the roof seemed like a good choice.
Of course, the movement on the roof was not stealthy.
It can’t help but be a very noticeable movement.
Naturally, it was only a matter of time before we were discovered by the enemies moving below us.
“Kwaaaaa!”
“There it is!”
Even if the enemy discovered us, we did not slow down our movement speed.
No, it’s too late to slow down now.
Then, some of the enemies below were seen pulling out weapons that could attack enemies from a distance, such as arrows, towards us.
Some of the weapons included arrows aimed at a bow, while others aimed at us with a spear in one hand.
In addition to the weapons that humans often use, they have also been seen targeting us by creating fireballs in front of their mouths or hands or creating thorns on their bodies.
If I had seen that scene, the women around me would of course have noticed.
And the first person to do so was Rachel.
〈Frozen Block〉
Puff poop!
Patter!
As soon as Rachel created a wall of ice in the air, countless arrows, spears, and thorns hit the wall.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Not only that, but so many fireballs that it was difficult to count them with the eye exploded after being blocked by the ice wall.
The problem was that the attacks targeting us were not coming from only one direction.
Before we knew it, the enemies had climbed onto the roof and were targeting us.
Unfortunately, the ice wall created by Rachel is not a skill that blocks all directions.
It is a huge wall of ice that blocks only one direction.
However, the enemies that are targeting us now are 360 degrees.
The moment they recognized that there was an enemy, they did not wait for us and immediately started attacking.
〈Blood Boom〉
Then Noah blocked the attack by scattering blood around us and exploding it.
“Haap!”
As Noah defended us with his blood, Ellie ran to her front and swung her mace at the enemies standing in our way.
〈Fury Wave〉
As soon as the mace containing divine power hits the enemy, it becomes a wave and spreads around.
Enemies touched by a wave containing divine power are spread far away by the impact.
But that’s just a small portion of the many enemies, and new enemies keep coming up.
Damn, when I first came here, I couldn’t even see the hair on many of these enemies, so I wonder where they came from.
There must have been another place other than the underground plaza I found where people were hidden.
But there are too many of them to be bothersome.
It feels like when you touch a dirty sewer, a lot of bugs come pouring out.
It would be easy to get rid of these insects like spraying pesticide if you wanted to, but the reality is that there is no time.
But if we leave it like this, it will only become an annoying blocker in our path.
In that case, I just use the skill with the widest range in my memory.
If so, this is the skill that came to mind!
〈Blizzard Over Freeze〉
This is a skill of Prison Wizard, one of the wizard professions similar to Elemental Master.
If there was an Elemental Master who used a wizard with four attributes, there was a wizard job that mainly used one of each attribute, and among them, the one that handled ice, a water attribute, was Prison Wizard.
And this job’s ultimate had the widest range of all Elion’s jobs.
When it first came out, there was a lot of talk about whether it was a scam.
However, in an online game, it is impossible for one job to have fraudulent skills.
After Prison Wizard was released in the actual game, the controversy died down as it was revealed that the moment the skill was actually used, the damage was low due to the wide range.
Well, even if it is weak, there is only a slight difference.
However, in the current situation, it is a very appropriate skill.
I immediately activated the skill.
〈Blizzard Over Freeze〉
As I activated the skill, a cold chill began to rise from the floor.
Even though the roof we are currently jumping on is the roof of a building that is quite tall.
Based on the cold chill, thorns made of ice rose from the floor.
The thorns of ice began to pierce the enemies standing on the road one by one.
The area where the ice spikes rise is centered around me and gradually spreads further out.
And the range of skills begins to expand in an instant.
“Kwaaaaa!”
The countless cries of enemies pierced by the ice thorns created by my skill, unable to bear the pain, rise from the floor along with a cold chill.
“Is this… The one Jinnu used?”
“Ah, it’s a skill I used. I can’t just leave it alone.”
The skills I activated are still expanding their range. And the ice thorns gradually grew in size and began to threaten enemies who climbed onto the roof like us.
Enemies that were fused with low-level demons by my skill were pierced and died instantly without being able to avoid the ice thorns, and enemies based on higher-level demons were also unable to ignore the ice thorns and were busy avoiding them.
Thanks to this, we no longer need to worry about the enemies threatening us while moving around.
You just move straight in the direction the compass points.
“Now, now! Let’s move quickly!”
As I said that, we increased our running speed even more.
No, I tried to do that.
But we had no choice but to stop as the red spear flew towards us.
〈Divine Shield〉
In particular, that red spear was aiming at me, and Ellie, who realized it, raised her shield in front of me and blocked the attack.
However, it must have been difficult to take all the impact, so he was pushed back and fell down.
“Ellie!”
Seeing Ellie’s appearance, I turned my head towards Eli and shouted.
“Did you think you could escape from our hands, you cheeky bugs?”
“I can’t let you go to where Arceus is.”
But I couldn’t continue looking at Ellie because of the voice I heard.
When I turned my head toward the sound, the two people I had pinned to the ground with the 〈 Power of God: Shinchang 〉 I wrote about earlier were flying in the air.
Among them, Induce had a red spear in his hand that had just come flying out, so it must have been that guy who did the attack just now.
I tried to get as far away from them as possible and gather with all the girls here, but unfortunately, I guess I didn’t have enough time.
Even though the direction my compass was pointing was still not changing.
Damn it, should I take these guys down right now?
That would take quite some time.
In that case, there is no guarantee that other enemies will not be added besides these guys.
“Master, leave this guy to me and go quickly!”
Noah seemed to have decided that it would be impossible to leave these guys alive and go looking for Rhenia, Yuria, and Freya any longer, so he stepped in front of me.
Are you going to look for the three people right now, leaving only Noah behind?
But if that happens, Noah will end up in danger.
However, I can’t be wasting my time here trying to defeat those two.
Are there any better options?
Are there only two options?
But those two enemies rushed towards us without even giving me time to think.
The enemy, who has fused with Induce, has a red spear in his hand and is rushing towards us to stab us.
An unknown magic circle was created from the enemy’s four arms that fused with Modeus.
Damn it, what should I do now?
At that moment, a blinding flash of light fell over our heads.
To be precise, it would be correct to say that it fell on the heads of the enemies who had fused with Modeus and Induce.
But I know very well what it is.
〈Shining Break〉
It is one of the skills used by the character I raised in the Elion game, and one of Renia’s ultimate skills.
