Chapter 54 – Village in a Small Forest (7)
What should I call that guy walking slowly in front of me?
Spider?
Bael?
Or Boyd?
I don’t know.
Demons and humans fusing together.
I can’t believe what’s happening right now.
First of all, I think we should call him Boyd.
Just by looking at the image of Void fused with Demon, it was clear that he had become more powerful.
《Kaaaaa!》
Boyd, who had been walking slowly, suddenly raised his arms upward and shouted.
When we saw that scene, we intuitively knew what he was going to do.
That’s one of the attack patterns from Bael Phase 1.
This is a pattern that inflicts a stun by hitting the ground and sending a shock wave towards the character.
Then, rush to the stunned character and hit them with your fist, inflicting powerful damage.
Pahoe is simple.
Just jump to avoid getting hit by the shock wave.
Although this is a simple pattern, there are times when the preparatory movements are faster than expected and you may not be able to avoid it even if you see it when you are close.
Bang!!
When we saw Void hitting the ground and creating a shock wave, Rien and I jumped at the same time, and Yuria jumped on Minercia’s back in the air.
The moment the body floating on the ground touched the ground, we all planned to rush together.
Suuk!
Puck! Puck!
But the reality is that things don’t go as expected.
Void attacked us by jumping and dodging the spider tentacles on his back.
Since I and Lien could not move in the air, we had no choice but to face the attack helplessly.
Fortunately, I reacted and guarded Lien with the gauntlet and me with “Gram.”
Due to Boyd’s attack, Lien and I flew backwards and hit a tree.
No, the layered pattern crossed the line!
In general, there is always a way for a character to destroy a monster’s pattern.
Otherwise, the game operator will be criticized by the users.
Another way to get criticized would be a double pattern, where two or more patterns appear at the same time.
I jumped in the air to avoid the shock wave, but it attacked me with its tentacles.
Unlike us, who cannot move in the air, Yuria, who was riding Minersia, avoided Void’s tentacle attack and used the Dragon Knight Rush skill.
〈Dragonia Burst〉
This is a skill where Minercia approaches a monster directly and headbutts its body, inflicting damage.
Bang!
Boyd collided with Minercia.
What is surprising is that Boyd, who was expected to fly backwards due to the charging skill, was pushed back a little, but stood firm and held on.
“Die!”
Minercia momentarily neutralized her Void due to the nature of the Dragon Knight, which allows her to attack with a dragon, and Yuria, who was riding behind her, swung her sword at the Void.
Boyd reacted to Yuria’s attack and tried to dodge, but as she was, he cut her shoulder and cut off her sprouting horn.
“Go away!”
Boyd then punched Minercia in the head, causing her head to lift upward.
Basically, Bael’s first phase consists mostly of physical attacks.
Judging by the way Void throws his fists, it seems that the basic basis is based on Bael.
Then there is only one method we must take.
“Lien! Approach that guy and break the pattern as much as possible!”
“Yes, my lord!”
Lien heard me and immediately ran towards Boyd.
“Yuria! You focus on long-range attacks rather than close-range attacks!”
“Okay! Mine, let’s fly!”
Minercia, who was hit by Boyd’s fist, glared at Boyd with her eyes full of anger, but flew up immediately after hearing Yuria’s words.
Upon seeing Minercia like that, Boyd tried to grab her legs to prevent her from flying away.
That’s also one of Bael’s patterns.
It grabs a nearby character and slams it to the ground, inflicting powerful damage. It also generates a shock wave and runs to the character hit, dealing additional damage.
“Where!”
Lien, who had already reached her Void, stopped her from grabbing Minercia by hitting her Void’s arm with her leg.
She also used the rotational force of her downward strike to spin once in the air and hit Boyd’s chin with her other leg.
《Huh! You bastards!》
It hit her in the chin, but she ignored the damage and stretched out her hand to grab Lien.
But Lien’s profession is a martial artist.
He is a specialist in close combat.
Melee characters are easily exposed to monster patterns, so they have all the most evasive techniques.
Lien used her 〈 Sunbo 〉 to instantly move behind her and avoid Void’s attack.
Boyd, who saw this, tried to run towards Lien, but she was hit squarely by the beam of light that came down from the sky.
While Rien held onto her Void, Yuria gathered her magic power in the air and she unleashed Minercia’s 〈 Dragon Breath 〉 skill.
《Aaaaah!》
Due to Yuria’s attack, Boyd’s skin peeled off and her entire body began to turn into scars.
Looking at that, Lien got ready to launch her bow.
I couldn’t just watch, so I ran forward.
Just as Minercia’s 〈 Dragon Breath 〉 ended, Rien and I rushed towards Void.
〈 Self-denial, thunderbolt, thunder, and lightning 〉
Lien, who arrived before me, inserted her own arch into her void abdomen.
Pow!
This is definitely not the sound made when a person’s fist hits a living creature.
The martial artist’s strategy is to strike with his fist at lightning speed.
Boyd’s abdomen, hit by Lien’s bow, exploded.
《Whoa!》
Boyd had her left side barely connected to her upper and lower body and was spitting out blood from her mouth.
I swung “Gram” Straight at Boyd’s neck.
The goal is to end it now in Phase 1.
There is no need to increase the phase for no reason!
Phew!
The “Gram” I swung decapitated Boyd.
But I couldn’t cut it all down and it stopped in the middle of the neck.
Damn!
It’s because I still lack a lot of strength.
If I had been able to use the full power of the equipment, I would have cut it down like that.
Lien didn’t miss the pause in my attack and stretched out her hand to rip out Boyd’s neck.
Just before Lien’s hand grabbed the horns of Void’s head, the tentacle behind her, Void’s back, passed through the self-pierced abdominal hole and struck Lien.
Of course, it also threw its tentacles at me who attacked my neck.
Lien and I were unable to avoid the tentacle’s attack, Lien was pushed behind her, and I lost sight of Gram and flew backwards.
It’s obvious that he’s still alive even though his throat has been cut in half.
It’s tremendous vitality.
Yuria once again fired 〈 Dragon Breath 〉 in the air, but this time Void dodged the attack by stepping behind her.
Then, he pulled out “Gram” That was stuck in his neck and threw it away.
《Wow… I never thought it would be this bad… Infector deserves it.》
Even though they all looked like they were already dying just by looking at them now, Boyd’s voice exuded calmness.
Lien must have thought that she should not be given time, so she ran away once again.
“Ha!”
When Void let out a loud scream, the area that had been blown away by Lien’s attack recovered again in an instant.
The horn that was cut by Yuria earlier also healed the wound on my neck that was cut by me.
What is this again?
There is no such pattern!
Isn’t there a pattern for monsters to suddenly recover all their blood?
After seeing Boyd recover, Lien stopped running and opened the distance again.
《Now I understand. My power…How should I use it!!》
That crazy guy, is this actually a pattern of not being able to use my full power because I’m not used to my new body?
I will turn away.
Since I lost “Gram,” I took out “Dainsleif” That I had put in my inventory and equipped it.
I, who had not yet fully unleashed the power of the equipment, picked up my weapon, but the power suddenly decreased.
Boyd suddenly extended her hand forward towards Lien.
Uh? That… Fuck!
“Lien!”
“Yes, my lord! I know!”
Pop!
As Lien quickly left her standing position, an explosion suddenly occurred in that spot.
That’s one of Bael’s three-phase basic patterns.
While most of the physical attacks were used in Phase 1, Phase 3 begins with long-distance attacks using magical power.
Thanks to this, when I first came out of the raid and headed, the moment I entered phase 3, classes such as elemental masters and archers who were firing magic from afar often got hit by the basic explosive attack and died.
When it enters Phase 3, its body color changes to black and the tips of the horns on its body split.
However, the shape of the body of the void in front of me has not changed.
What I meant by what I said earlier is that in my current state, I can now use patterns regardless of the phase.
As Lien dodged her attack, she now extended both her hands forward.
One hand was aimed at Lien, and the other hand was aimed at Yuria, who was in the air.
That guy doesn’t seem to care much about me.
I’m angry, but I’m angry that it’s a fact.
Pop! Pop!
An explosion occurred where Lien and Yuria were, and both of them moved their bodies in advance to avoid it.
“Haaa!”
As if they had promised, at the same time, Yuria used 〈 Dragonia Burst 〉 and Lien used 〈 Sunbo 〉 and rushed towards Void.
Boyd looked at it and lifted one of her legs and lowered it to the floor.
That too is a pattern that creates shock waves on the floor.
Lien, who was running, jumped just like before, and when he jumped to avoid the shock wave, a tentacle flew in just like before.
“I won’t do it again!”
This time, unlike before, Lien did not block in the air, but caught her tentacle with both hands.
In that state, she grabbed the tentacle and flung Void upward.
The direction Void was flying was the direction Minersia was charging.
Minercia collided with Void, and Yuria raised her “Cali Burn” High above her head in response.
By applying Yuria’s magic power to “Caliburn”, He formed a magical sword like an Auror and swung it at Void.
〈 Flying Dragon Rampage 〉
This is a skill that allows the Dragon Knight to cut down enemies indiscriminately while forming a magic sword.
Since Void couldn’t move in the air, she thought she would have no choice but to be hit by Yuria’s attack.
However, in that state, Boyd extended her tentacles to the surrounding trees and pulled her body towards the trees to avoid Yuria’s attack.
Void, anchored to the tree by his tentacles, opened his mouth at us.
What is that?
In my memory, there is no such motion among Bael’s patterns.
But that guy is not Bael.
Most of the patterns shown so far are Bael’s patterns, but Bael was not the only one.
The image of spraying poison at the front of the spider pattern flashed through my mind.
“Spider’s Poison Breath!”
I shouted when I saw the two of them unable to react to Boyd’s actions.
Yuria heard my voice and immediately came running to me and Lien on Minercia.
The two of us immediately got on Minercia’s back and Minercia flew up into the air.
《Puaaaaak!》
As I expected, Void sprayed poison not only on the floor where we were standing, but also in the center of Ar’estel Village.
Objects that came in contact with the poison melted and smoked.
It’s scary to think that I got hit by that.
This much.
Since the two boss monsters are fused together, it is not difficult at all.
Damn it, I wasn’t sending Ellie away separately.
“You guys are like bugs. You’re doing a good job of avoiding it here and there.》
Boyd said, hanging from a tree and looking at us.
“Lien, can you use the palace again?”
“It is possible, my lord.”
I thought the palace cooldown was almost over, but it looks like it was hit.
“It seems like it would be difficult to kill that guy using the methods we know. It’s fortunate that Bael is not a demon that requires damage to certain parts of the body.”
If it was a guy like Byhamos, it would have been more difficult.
Our attacks have no choice but to aim for weak points, and the opponent will rather feel where to attack and find it easier to defend himself.
“I think I can only break through by one point. The layered pattern is too tricky to attack while looking at the pattern. You can do it, right?”
“Yes! My lord.”
“Of course!”
We and Boyd glared at each other and prepared for the second round.
