Chapter 85 – Monster Wave (5) _ Edit
〈Violence Dark Spear〉
This is the summoner’s ultimate skill that can be used when unified with the Dark Spirit King Arcane.
Summoners who can integrate with multiple Spirit Kings have lower ultimate damage compared to other classes, but their cooldown time is relatively fast, so they seem to have already returned.
The black spear fired by Rhenia pierced the Hydra’s white head and pinned it to the ground.
I, who was riding on the hydra’s back, continued to attack her neck, which was connected to the hydra’s white head, accumulating damage to her.
Then, as if my presence on her back was bothersome, the hydra shook her body and lifted her tail.
When I felt the movement, I immediately jumped off the hydra’s back and at the same time, a huge tail fell where I was.
If I had hesitated just a little bit, I would have been crushed by that tail and turned into a flat cake.
Hydra’s white head, which was stuck in the ground with Rhenia’s ultimate, moved to lift her white head while it was still stuck in her black spear, as if it had not yet died after being hit with her ultimate.
Seeing the Hydra like that, Minercia and Yuria and Noah, who were flying in the air, rushed towards the Hydra’s white head.
〈Dragon Blade〉
〈Blood Sword〉
Yuria created a great sword made of the same magical power that cut off Hydra’s black head, and Noah also created a huge great sword made of blood.
Shuung! Puck!
“Pfft!”
I thought I would have taken down the Hydra’s white head by cutting off the white head, but other heads ran into the path the two were moving, and both of them ended up crashing into the heads.
After coming down to the ground again, I tried to rush back and attack the hydra, but I couldn’t.
I don’t think it took very long since Hydra came out, but new Bleddies were already popping out from the dimensional gap.
“Damn it, at least get the Hydra out! Ellie, you decide to take out Bleddy and me quickly, and the rest of us take care of the Hydra!”
I shouted to everyone and ran towards Bleddy, who was coming out of the dimensional gap.
She decided that for now, it would be a good idea to catch the Bleddies, which were random mobs like Ellie who could not attack the white head of the hydra.
Ellie, who heard what I said, ran with me and jumped into the Bleddy that was coming out of the dimensional gap.
〈Fury Wave〉
Ellie, who entered the Bleddy, struck the floor with her mace filled with divine power. The sacred power contained in her mace traveled through the floor and killed all the Bleddies around her in one blow.
I mainly cut down Bledy, who was out of Ellie’s attack range.
Quagwang!
While Ellie and I were dealing with Bleddy, we heard the sound of something falling from the direction of Hydra.
Turning her head briefly to check, she noticed that the hydra’s white head had broken off and was lying on her floor.
In the end, it appears that Yuria and Noah cut off Hydra’s white head.
The Hydra’s white head, which has fallen from her body, turns to dust and disappears.
Now there are only 4 left…
It wasn’t an easy situation to deal with just the Hydra, but it felt very difficult to have other demons coming out of the dimensional gap like now.
Right now, it’s a weak demon like Bleddy, so I blocked it quickly without much trouble, but if guys like Byhamoth and Bael, who were raid bosses, come out, it’ll be too difficult to deal with.
So we have to quickly defeat Hydra before those guys come out.
First of all, I thought that the head of the Hydra that I needed to attack next was red.
Hydra’s remaining attributes are fire, water, wind, and earth, and only Renia can inflict damage with the opposite attribute.
So honestly, it doesn’t matter which color you hit first, but considering the main dealer Renia’s ultimate for each attribute, I thought it would be better to attack with the wind attribute’s ultimate, which has the widest attack range, last.
The ultimate skill used in unity with the wind spirit Minerva is a skill that creates a powerful whirlpool to crush the enemy. It has the widest attack range among the ultimate skills by attribute, so if used now, it may also touch the yellow earth attribute and restore all of Hydra’s health.
“Ellie! Go back to Hydra! I’ll take charge of this place.”
If it weren’t for the gimmick of recovering by attribute, Ellie would have focused on attacking Hydra.
After hearing my words, Ellie ran straight towards the hydra, and the wings made of light behind her gradually changed into real feathers.
〈Last Divine Judgment〉
Ellie also seems to be trying to use her ultimate power.
Ellie with her real wings also flew up into the sky and her hydra rose above her head and Ellie threw her mace that she was holding loudly over her head.
The mace she threw up turned into a huge mace filled with divine power, and when Ellie gestured below her, the mace, which turned into a huge lump of holy power, fell right on top of Hydra’s head.
Quagwagwang!
The huge mace that Ellie had created certainly had a wide range, so not only did it hit her red head, which she had originally intended to hit, but it also hit the blue and green hairs around it.
The one she was trying to hit directly was the red head, but the heads of other colored hydras around it were also caught up in Eli’s ultimate attack, and the hydra’s flesh was sheared off.
Unfortunately, my current characters’ ultimate skills cannot kill even a single head of the hydra in one hit, and the same was true for Ellie’s ultimate skills.
With her ultimate in full swing, Ellie glided beneath her and flew toward the hydra’s red head.
As she descended at great speed, Ellie raised her shield in front of her and imbued it with her divine power, forming her massive shield.
〈Divine Shield〉
Originally, the skill protected her allies by blocking her enemy’s attacks, but Ellie used the speed of her fall to collide her shield with the Hydra’s head.
Bang!
Due to the impact of Ellie’s attack with her shield, Hydra’s head fell to the ground again, and Lien was in that position, holding her fist as if waiting.
〈 Self-denying technique (極技) Shout Hwangpa Cheon Fist (霸皇破天拳) 〉
Puff! Pop!
Before Hydra could react, Lien’s fist landed on Hydra’s red head.
In particular, the area Lien attacked was where the Hydra’s eyes were, so her eyes were unable to withstand the enormous impact and ended up bursting.
“Kwaaaaa!”
Unlike Hydra’s red head, which was in pain from Lien’s attack, the blue head right next to her attacked Lien, and Lien was unable to avoid it and was crushed.
“Lien!!!”
When I saw that, I screamed without realizing it and ran to where Lien was.
The Hydra’s blue head opened her mouth as she looked at the Lien she had crushed and was about to swallow it whole.
〈Blood Spear〉
Fortunately, just before Rien was about to be swallowed by the hydra’s mouth, the bloody spear thrown by her Noah flew out and struck her on the head of the hydra, but although it did not pierce it, her hit point was distorted and she fell right next to Rien. I swallowed it.
“Good job, Noah!”
Pressing the Hydra’s red head with her shield, Ellie quickly came down and ran towards her Lien, picking her up and trying to get out of the Hydra’s attack range before her blue head attacked Lien again.
I have seen many times where my characters link up each other’s attacks very neatly, as if they had made a promise, and continued their attacks in succession to the point where the opponent was distracted.
And now I have seen Hydra do it.
The moment Lien was hit by Hydra’s blue head, the rest of her heads except the red one gathered energy from her mouth as if they were waiting, and the moment Ellie approaches Lien, she is preparing to shoot her laser beam all at once.
There is a saying you often hear.
It is said that just before she dies, she feels time slowing down and things around her seem to stop.
I’m not in danger of dying right now, but I had a gut feeling that Ellie and Lienne were going to die from that attack right before my eyes.
I’ve killed that hydra over 200 times in the game.
Therefore, we know how dangerous that attack is depending on whether there is a buffer or not.
The role of the buffer is to strengthen party members and increase damage, but it is also the role of the buffer to increase defense to withstand monster patterns or create a shield made of divine power.
Of course, raid bosses, like buffers, have their stamina and attack power set based on when hunting.
In other words, if you are hit by not one but two laser beam attacks without a buffer, you will at least be in a near-death state in the game.
What should I do?
If things continue like this, Ellie and Lien are in danger.
I don’t know about Ellie, who has a high defense, but if Lien, who was just hit by Hydra’s attack, gets hit by that attack, she might really die.
I don’t want to see that with my own eyes.
I don’t want to think about it in my head.
Even at this moment when everything has slowed down, Hydra’s head is trying to fire a laser beam towards the two.
What should I do…
What can I do…
Can not be done.
Even in this time that I felt was slowing down, Hydra eventually fired the laser beam as it was.
The laser beam fired by Hydra flies towards the two.
Holy shit!!!
There’s nothing I can do?
You have no choice but to watch them die?
That can’t be possible.
Is there some way?
“Fuck!!!!”
Feeling helpless that there was nothing I could do, I closed my eyes, covered my face with my hands, and screamed without realizing it.
In the end, I couldn’t do anything and save them both…
Hmm…?
If Hydra’s laser beam attack had gone off, it should have gone off a long time ago, but no sound has been heard yet.
When Hydra’s laser beam rained down earlier, there was a huge sound echoing on the ground.
I opened my eyes and looked where Ellie and Lienne were, and they were still there.
And a laser beam was seen shooting out very slowly above the two.
What? Does it mean that the feeling that time has slowed down is not just a feeling, but a real thing?
Then a memory flashed through my mind.
Then there is no time to wait.
I had one thought in my mind.
Then my body jumped forward in an instant and went to where Ellie and Lien were.
If I’m right, there’s no time for this.
I quickly carried Ellie and Lien around and ran as far as I could to get out of the laser beam’s attack range.
It’s probably over by now…
Hurry!!
While I was running and thinking, there was a huge noise behind me and a gust of wind blew, and the impact caused me to fly forward and tumble, losing sight of Ellie and Lien.
“Ha, ha. Ellie, Lien, are you okay?”
I fell forward, but before I could feel the pain, I looked at Ellie and Lien who had flown away.
“Ugh…”
“Yes! Jinu. What the hell is this…”
Lien couldn’t answer properly due to the shock of hitting the Hydra’s head, but Ellie answered while looking at me.
When I saw Ellie, she didn’t seem to have anything particularly wrong with her body.
“Ellie, heal Lien first!”
After yelling at Ellie, I looked back and there were Hydra and my characters staring blankly, not understanding our actions as they had avoided their attack.
It would have to be that way.
To them, it would have looked like I suddenly teleported and ran with Ellie and Lien around me and then flew away.
Honestly, I can’t believe this situation right now.
What I did was very simple.
So far, my power has been to allow me to use the game system in Elyon.
At first, I started by equipping items, so I was able to put game items in my inventory, and recently, I was able to receive full options for equipment items by adjusting my own stats.
It wasn’t like that from the beginning.
It feels like the more I summon a game character, the more functions are added.
And today I summoned one additional character.
Is that why?
It seems like one more feature in the game can now be used.
It’s also a very fraudulent system.
The most popular content in Elion right now is, of course, becoming stronger by defeating raid bosses and farming the materials and items received as rewards.
Therefore, Elyon operators had to keep adding new raids.
Otherwise, people like me will have nothing to do.
But does that mean that raids with different patterns are continuously added, with only the monsters looking different?
It becomes a boring homework that only involves raiding and farming.
Therefore, Elion operators tried out raid boss patterns in various directions.
There is a floor underneath so that you can see where the attack will fall, but the number of attacks comes at a level that is unavoidable when seen with the human eye, or raid boss attacks can only be avoided if you go to a specific location.
In this case, the movement speed of the characters became the most important factor.
Even if characters with slow movement speed try to avoid them, they are so slow that they cannot avoid any of the raid boss attacks and end up getting hit and dying.
In particular, the armor worn by each profession is different, and naturally, leather is heavier than cloth armor and iron armor is the heaviest, so movement speed is also the slowest.
There was a system added to resolve such job-specific irrationality, and that was ‘Dash’ and ‘Time Stop’.
There are occupations that have the skill to move locations quickly for each occupation, an example of which is 〈 Sunbo 〉 used by martial artist Lien.
However, there were more occupations that did not have such movement skills, and as above, whether or not one could avoid it was determined by movement speed, so the operators gave a movement skill that could be used by all occupations only in raids, and that was ‘dash’.
The way I quickly approached Ellie and Lien just now was also using the ‘dash’.
Additionally, a raid-specific skill that only the raid leader could use when avoiding the raid boss’s extensive berserk pattern was added, and that was ‘Time Stop’.
‘Time Stop’ is a raid-specific skill that momentarily slows down everything except raid characters. It can be used to avoid dangerous raid members, or it can attack raid bosses with low health by dealing extreme damage and ignoring their patterns. Method was used.
It felt like time had slowed down, but I was the only one who was able to move and scream, so I guess I used this skill without realizing it.
Even if that wasn’t the case, the only thought in my mind at that moment was that I had to save Ellie and Lienne, and I did whatever came to mind, and fortunately, I think I was successful.
The ‘Dash’ skill has a cooldown of about 1 minute so you can use it again, but ‘Time Stop’ has a fairly long cooldown of 30 minutes.
Of course, if the cooldown of ‘Time Stop’ was short, it would lead to a breakdown in balance.
Anyway, the most important thing is that I have grown one level today.
