Chapter 186 – Arceus (7)
In the rooms that followed, the same Dracans were waiting for us.
If I could at least know how many rooms were left, I would be able to recognize the end, but the reality of moving forward without any knowledge and just praying that the next room would be the end was very frustrating.
After defeating what was presumed to be a named monster, after opening the room, a named monster similar to that monster also appeared.
Of course, I destroyed it with my skills.
And we are now passing through the third room with a group of Drakans again.
Thinking about the rooms we have passed through so far, there were Drakans that looked like random mobs left behind in three rooms, and monsters that were presumed to be named monsters were placed in the next three rooms.
If so, there is a high possibility that there will be a named monster in the next room as well.
“Is there going to be a talking guy this time too? A talking guy appears when you go beyond three rooms.”
“I think that’s probably true. Jinu, I’ll go in first to prepare for any unexpected attacks.”
Ellie agreed with Noah and she took the initiative to grab the handle of her door and open it.
As we entered the new room, we saw a large group of Drakans inside the room.
Until now, there was no group of Drakans in the room with the named monster, and only the named monster was guarding the room.
“I never thought someone would come all the way here. I guess both Duke and Bus were attacked by you guys.”
And from behind the group of Drakans, a low-pitched sound like scratching the floor was heard.
I turned my head in the direction of the sound and saw that the enemy was much larger than the Drakans and named monsters I had seen so far.
“Everyone prepare for battle! I guess this room is the end?”
Things implemented in this world related to Elion have never deviated from the game’s setting so far.
Of course, I have never seen this Drakan, a named monster, or that big guy in Elyon.
However, since these guys and Arceus were confident that they were demons, I thought that all of these things followed Elion.
If so, the structure of this dungeon would be the same as Elion.
Elion operators were stubborn and did not change the dungeon structure, if possible.
At first, it is composed of miscellaneous mobs, and after passing 2-3 rooms, a named monster is placed, and the room where the last dungeon boss is located is made up of both the dungeon boss and miscellaneous mobs.
Like this room right now.
So that means you just have to take down that guy.
When I shouted, Ellie, Lien, and Noah immediately entered into battle.
〈black hole〉
I activated the skill among the Drakan group.
This is one of the skills used by summoners of the Rhenia profession and is often used when unified with the Dark Spirit King.
Now, I can use it without having to become one with the spirit.
A black sphere was created in the center of the Drakans, and the sphere gradually grew larger and began to suck in the Drakans around it.
The Drakans were seen panicking and scrambling due to the sudden increase in manpower, but it was already too late as this skill was installed.
The damage of the skill is not high, so it does not cause much damage to Drakans, but this is a representative mob-killing skill in Elion.
Since it is very inefficient to kill monsters in the room or other miscellaneous rooms one by one, when going to a dungeon as a party, we often put in jobs that have mob-killing skills like now.
Classes that have skills that can attack in a wide range, such as Ellie’s Paladin and Rachel’s Elemental Master, do not particularly need mob-hunting skills, but jobs that have no choice but to attack up close, such as Lien’s martial arts class, require mob-hunting skills. If there is, there will be a noticeable difference in room clearing speed.
When the Drakans gathered in the 〈 black hole 〉 that I had placed, Lien jumped into the air first.
〈 Thunderbolt 〉
Lien fell with her legs into the center of the 〈 black hole 〉 like lightning falling from the air.
〈Black Hole 〉 The Drakans who were stuck inside and unable to move did not even think about avoiding Lien’s attack. The Drakan that was hit by Lien’s leg exploded in the head and vomited blood due to the shock wave that spread to the surrounding Drakans.
〈Blood Chain Buster〉
Lien attacked first, and Noah then sent blood toward 〈black hole 〉. The blood that flowed on the floor rose up from the floor when it reached where the Drakans were, and huge teeth sprouted out as if it were a beast’s mouth and swallowed the Drakans.
〈Blood Boom〉
And all that blood turned into a huge bomb and exploded.
This is a Berserker combo that is often used in games.
Due to Lien and Noah’s attack, the Drakans I had gathered disappeared without shape.
The moment I saw it, a huge black fireball flew towards us.
〈Divine Shield〉
Ellie reacted and blocked it with her divine power on her shield.
Bang!
Among the patterns Arceus used was one that flew black flames like that.
“When Arceus told me that the enemy would come this far, I was skeptical, but now that I see them defeating Drakan, I don’t think the Duke and Bus in front will be able to withstand it.”
Duke and Bus probably refer to the named monsters defeated earlier.
Well, that’s not important now.
I looked at the enemy, who was presumed to be the boss monster of this dungeon.
Until now, the named monsters Drakan, Duke, and Bus seemed close to dragons.
The basic body was human-shaped, but the skin was covered with scales like a dragon’s skin, and the head had the head of a lizard.
The difference between Duke and Buss was that they had swords and spears in their hands, similar to those used by humans.
In fact, as soon as I saw it, I killed it with a barrage of skills, so I don’t even know what kind of attack it was using.
And the guy in front of us was much bigger and looked closer to a dragon than a dragon.
It has wings spread out behind its back, which Drakans do not have, and it also has a lizard tail.
Moreover, if the Drakans have lizard heads attached to human necks, the enemy in front of us had very long necks, not human necks.
It really feels like seeing a simple dragon.
I looked around just in case and found that there was a door to move on to.
Isn’t this guy the last one?
No, if this dungeon is the place that plays the role of maintaining Arceus’ barrier, there is a high possibility that the next room contains a device that plays that role.
Because Elion dungeons were mostly structured that way.
“It is foolish for a petty human being to go against Lord Arceus… Just accept the purification calmly!”
The enemy, presumed to be a boss monster, shouted at us, inhaled, and poured out a huge stream of flames from its mouth.
Is it breath?
〈Prison Block〉
I immediately created an ice wall in front of us to block the enemy’s attack.
As the enemy’s breath showed no sign of ending even after the duration of 〈 Prison Block 〉 had passed, I also used 〈 God’s Power: Barrier 〉.
The enemy’s breath could not reach us due to the two skills that can perfectly respond to long-distance attacks.
“A human being can block this? I can’t believe that a human body can generate this much power. I didn’t think there would be anything that could stand up to the power fused with our demons…”
The enemy is astonished as if he can’t believe that his attack is blocked by us.
Does this mean that this guy was originally human?
So what kind of demon did it merge with?
The Drakan and the named monsters that have been defeated so far, as well as this guy who appears to be a boss monster, are clearly people who have fused with demons…
I don’t remember any demons that look like this, but I don’t know where they got these guys from.
First of all, it is more important to dismantle the Arceus barrier.
Soon, everyone’s cooldown time was reached.
“There’s no time, it’s all ultimate!”
I shouted and immediately installed 〈 God’s Power: Sanctuary 〉.
At that signal, everyone poured their ultimate skills at the enemy.
〈Last Divine Judgment〉
〈Atomic Blood Explosion〉
〈 Self-denial, thunderbolt, thunder, and lightning 〉
The enemy was surprised when our attack flew explosively.
“Where! Barrier!”
Then, an invisible, opaque film was created around the enemy.
Quagwagwang!
Everyone’s attacks hit the opaque membrane and a loud roar rang out.
We thought all of our attacks would be blocked by the barrier created by the enemy, but we soon broke through the barrier and inflicted damage on the enemy.
“Kaaaaa!”
The enemy hit by our attack was pushed back and screamed in pain.
It definitely left a mark, but unfortunately I haven’t finished it yet.
Although it is a weaker buff than Freya, it is a barrier that can withstand the three ultimates to some extent.
What on earth are these guys?
