Chapter 202 – Phase 2 (8)
We could only watch as Chaos Alcatraz gradually changed.
The battle hasn’t even started yet, but just looking at Chaos Alcatraz in his dragon form feels completely different than when he was human.
Chaos Alcatraz’s body quickly grows to the point where we cannot see his face properly unless we tilt our head upwards.
I think it would be roughly the height of a 4th floor apartment.
They say Gaia fought that version of Chaos Alcatraz…
Suddenly, Chaos Alcatraz’s appearance completely changed into that of a giant dragon.
It is a black dragon itself with black scales covering its entire body, just like you see in movies.
Its fiery red eyes have changed from the black pupils of humans to vertically slit pupils unique to reptiles, and looking at its teeth that seem to pierce everything, I worry whether it will be able to stop it from simply biting us.
Its body has also become enormous, and it seems that just swinging its arms or tail would be enough to cause great damage to all of us.
As I was looking at Chaos Alcatraz transformed into a dragon, black flames began to appear from its mouth.
I had a very high expectation of what the dragon said to be with its mouth glowing, and as I thought, black flames would pour out of Chaos Alcatraz’s mouth, so I immediately reacted and used the skill.
〈Power of God: Bondage〉
First, in order to block the guy’s attack, I immediately put a ring of light on the guy’s mouth and tightened it.
But surprisingly, the ring of light cracked as it tightened around the guy’s mouth and then shattered in an instant.
Uh? I was startled by that sight and was stunned for a moment.
〈 God’s Power: Binding 〉 The reason the ring of light exists is so that users can have a forced effect that allows them to block the movement of monsters in the game.
In addition to this, there are some occupations that have skills that block the movement of monsters with forced effects, and if you use them well in succession in coordination, you can turn monsters into fools.
Of course, jobs with these skills have a lower damage penalty compared to jobs without them, so there weren’t many people who went for these jobs.
Elion is also an RPG after all, and when raids are added as new content, it only becomes a little more intense at that moment, so even if those jobs seem to see the light of day, eventually people get used to the patterns of the monsters and become stronger by farming them with equipment or items from those raids. The time to confront is also reduced.
Then, there was a lot of dissatisfaction among people who raised those jobs as their main characters because there was no need to force them into jobs with low damage peaks…
The problem is that the skill 〈 God’s Power: Barrier 〉, which was just used on Chaos Alcatraz, is that type of skill, but it did not block his movement.
What? I’m sure I walked the right way…
“Ah… God, be careful.”
〈God’s Power: Barrier 〉
I was dazed by the unbelievable sight and was unable to react to the black flames spewing out from the mouth of Chaos Alcatraz.
Instead, Freya stepped forward and blocked Chaos Alcatraz’s attack.
The black flame could not break through the barrier and come to us.
“Thank you, Freya. I lost consciousness for a moment.”
〈 God’s Power: Bondage 〉 Seeing that it didn’t work, I half-discarded my mind and came somewhere else.
Even if Freya couldn’t react, I think other characters would have prevented it.
But… The black flames emitted by Chaos Alcatraz show no signs of disappearing.
Usually, when a monster attacks in Elion, it usually ends within the duration of 〈 God’s Power: Barrier 〉.
But now, the black flame-tinged breath that Chaos Alcatraz emits shows no sign of ending.
If this continues, 〈 God’s Power: Barrier 〉 will be released!
Knowing that fact, I immediately overlaid the barrier written by Freya and reused 〈 God’s Power: Barrier 〉.
As I thought, the barrier that Freya had written has disappeared, but Chaos Alcatraz’s attacks are still continuing.
If I hadn’t written it down, we would have burned up in that black flame.
“It’s a huge attack.”
“If it weren’t for Freya and the master, we might have just been forged to death.”
As Ellie and Noah said, this doesn’t seem to be a pattern just to be endured in the game.
No matter what, there are at least some signs of defense or avoidance, but if you look around, the attack that Chaos Alcatraz is currently firing is striking an incredibly wide area at once.
Looking behind, the buildings of Morphia City were not burning with black flames, but were simply melting away.
If you attack such a wide range of attacks over a long period of time, how on earth are you supposed to avoid them in the game?
The duration of the 〈 Power of God: Barrier 〉 that I activated is coming to an end, but Chaos Alcatraz’s Breath shows no sign of ending.
Clearly, this appears to be a pattern that is set to a wide-area attack with instant-kill level damage and is forcibly activated when the phase changes, but in this case, it is likely to provide room for avoidance.
By creating a cover to avoid attacks, when the phase changes, users can quickly hide behind the cover to avoid attacks, or by providing an additional skill unique to the raid, they can use an invincibility weapon at the right time to survive.
But I don’t know if we were given anything like that, and there was no new cover around.
If it were a real game, we would have just been hit with a wide area instant kill and died.
No, how can it be that the attack does not end even though I used two of 〈 God’s Power: Barrier 〉 overlapping…
“Rachel, it’s 〈 Frozen Block 〉! This is the 〈 Power of God: Barrier 〉 that I placed, but it won’t end in a little while.”
“Yes, Jinu!”
〈Frozen Block〉
Rachel and I together created an ice wall blocking our front. Chaos Alcatraz’s breath range is too wide, so it was judged that 〈 Frozen Block 〉 alone could not block it all, so it was used together with Rachel to block the wide range.
Not long after Rachel and I used 〈 Frozen Block 〉, 〈 Power of God: Barrier 〉 disappeared and the black flame collided with the ice wall.
If 〈 God’s Power: Barrier 〉 protects us invincible from enemy damage within the barrier against all attacks, then this 〈 Frozen Block 〉 is a skill that makes us invincible against attacks coming from a distance if we stand behind it.
So, I thought it could protect us from the breath of Chaos Alcatraz, and as I thought, the breath was blocked by the ice wall and could not reach us.
In the meantime, you can see the black flames fading away, as if Chaos Alcatraz’s breath attack has finally ended.
As far as I know, it seems to be the longest-lasting attack pattern among all demons.
If you look at Chaos Alcatraz so far, it seems to be a raid boss that the Elion operators deliberately set up to be difficult.
I think the human state is usually Phase 1, and the current transformation into Dragon Form is set to Phase 2.
But even the first phase has a tight pattern. So much so that I wonder if this is true.
I think the forced pattern that is activated when you go beyond phase 1 and move on to phase 2 is probably that breath attack, but I wonder how long it lasts…
Normally, even in a situation where a character could not break a pattern and received instant death damage, characters who could become invincible for a while with a skill like now could have become invincible with the skill and not take damage.
However, after seeing the attack for such a long time, it seems like the users didn’t like the idea of holding on to the pattern with their character’s invincibility skills.
The reason we were able to endure just now was because I had endured once more with the same skill in the middle, otherwise we would all have been hit by the same breath.
Moreover, although it is incomprehensible, even 〈 God’s Power: Bondage 〉 was not applied to Chaos Alcatraz, who transformed into Dragon Form.
Assuming that Elion’s operators want to provide incredibly difficult raid bosses to users like they do now…
These bastards used skills to tie up monsters and prevent them from even beating them.
So, the 〈 Power of God: Bondage 〉 that I used will be broken rather than caught.
Otherwise, there is no way that 〈 God’s Word: Binding 〉 would not work on Chaos Alcatraz, which is based on the monsters in the game.
Damn, it’s still hard to even fight from the front, but it feels like my limbs are getting cut off.
