Episode 280 No.50 Labyrinth of Transfer (6)
“You got hit, that was a great move.”
The Oobleck Knight spoke in a mechanical tone.
It was as if it wasn’t him who had been hit by the Hyeonumokmaji.
I would have liked to throw in a little trash talk, but I couldn’t reveal my identity at this point, so I decided to hold back.
Since ancient times, hasn’t consistency been important in concept play?
– Tsk tsk,
Meanwhile, the cold air from Hyun-eum-ok-ma-ji was quickly expanding its range.
It seemed like Oobleck was trying to suppress it in his own way, but there was no way a single monster could do what even the Blood Cult Elders couldn’t do.
Within moments, the creature had withdrawn all of its outstretched arms and reverted to its normal appearance, seemingly intent on gaining more control over its body.
Thanks to that, most of the cold air seemed to have been suppressed, but the sound of freezing continued, albeit quietly.
– Damn it,
While the bastard’s movements slowed down, Dang Gyu-yeong moved Jeong Jong-myeong and the support staff to the other side of the room and joined us.
Cast Shadow Leap and rise from beneath my feet.
Also, behind them, Jegal Soso and Gip Gapdu were closing the distance at a fierce speed.
Perhaps deciding to deal with them first, Oobleck spun around and charged towards them.
And then he clashed with Kim Gap-du, who was shouting at him.
– Bam!
With a crash, Kim Gap-doo took two steps back, and Knight Ublek took one step back.
Despite the loss, Kim Gap-du did not become discouraged, but instead charged forward with even greater ferocity.
Zhuge Liang also assists by stabbing and slashing with his sword.
Oobleck’s hands became limp, and he held a longsword in one hand and a shield in the other.
He speaks while blocking Zhuge Xiao Xiao’s sword with his sword and blocking Kim Gap Du’s fist with his shield.
“It ended up being a head-on showdown.”
“Isn’t it easy to become more cowardly than a human being?”
“It certainly seems that way.”
Then, Woobleck glances this way.
You know how to turn a corner, you’re practically human.
Of course, it was completely understandable that he felt that way,
– Damn it,
Because the freezing sound was still echoing inside my body.
Every time that happens, his movements become unnaturally choppy and he opens himself up, allowing Kim Gap-du and Jegal So-so to attack him.
Hyun-eum-ok-ma-ji’s martial arts are so terrible.
In addition, others joined the battle and pressured the Oobleck Knight.
Shadow butterflies fly in one by one, and a fist-sized ball of magical energy hits the creature and explodes.
– Phew!
Of course, it was Jeong Chong-myeong who sent the sphere flying.
The most effective way to take down Dark Oobleck is to pour out all your firepower at once, but things aren’t going so well for now.
‘I don’t know when it will break through again.’
If you stand in formation and your line is broken through again, your life will be in immediate danger, and even if you dodge, you will have no choice but to cancel the magic.
So, I chose to maintain a certain level of mobility and fight as an all-rounder.
– Pfft!
Once again, the magic spheres hit Oobleck.
‘Explosive magic. Good decision.’
As it was a slime type monster, it would be able to inflict much more effective damage than stabbing or slashing.
Since he is about to become a third-year department head, he knows how to do things well.
‘But I have nothing to do.’
As for me, I can’t block the view and use forbidden skills, and of course, wind magic is specific to me.
So I started building ice walls all over the room.
At first glance, it may seem like a useless thing, but
‘There’s no harm in having insurance.’
Meanwhile, the tide of battle was turning more and more in our favor.
– Damn it,
Inside the Ublek Knight, the cold air still rages, and in front, Jegal Soso and Kim Gapdu join forces to attack.
In addition, Dang Gyu-yeong and Jeong Jong-myeong were occasionally throwing shadow butterflies and magic balls to accumulate damage.
‘Still, it’s worthy of being an A-rank.’
Even after beating him for a long time, there was no sign of weakness in him.
Rather, he would occasionally counterattack fiercely, causing Zhuge Liang and Kim Gap-du to fall.
Of course, it wasn’t obvious, but it seems that the damage was steadily piling up.
In the midst of a fierce battle, the Oobleck Knight suddenly stopped and opened his mouth.
“I think I won.”
“… … It was a good match.”
Kim Gap-du frowned as he answered the man’s words.
The Oobleck Knight continued, twisting his body like a pretzel.
– Kkeuggeukgeuk,
“I know it’s a bit of a drag on the game, but I have to do my job. I hope you understand—”
“Get out of here!”
When I interrupted them with a shout, everyone seemed to come to their senses and leaped towards the nearest ice wall.
As it happened, Dang Gyu-yeong was nearby, so I grabbed his arm and dragged him along, and we hid behind the ice wall together.
And the next moment,
– Clang!
Oobleck’s twisted body suddenly unfolded, spraying black liquid everywhere.
Even behind the wall where we hide, something keeps crashing and crashing.
‘As expected, it’s self-destructing.’
His goal is to somehow inflict damage on the punitive force.
I expected it to self-destruct when it was time to fall, so I cast Ice Wall in advance to create cover.
After a while, the pouring black liquids calmed down.
So, as I was trying to get out of the ice wall, Dang Gyu-yeong quietly extended one of his arms.
With a slight blush on her face.
“… … .”
“What’s your arm?”
“Pull again. Harder.”
“You’re into weird stuff again.”
“Just once~”
Now was not the time for that, so I ignored Dang Gyu-yeong and walked away.
Dang Gyu-yeong followed me, poking her lips out a few times in displeasure.
As we walked out, other groups began to appear one by one.
Zhuge Liang looked around and asked.
“Is everyone okay?”
“We are fine.”
The headmaster and support staff said.
Then he nods in my direction as if to say thank you.
I didn’t even have time to cast defensive magic, so if it weren’t for the ice wall, I might have been seriously injured.
“Ugh… … .”
On the other hand, Kim Gap-du seems to have taken some damage, perhaps because he was fighting Oobleck up close.
At best, a few drops of mucus touched my skin, but from there, my skin began to turn black and necrotic.
“What a truly vicious poison… … .”
The support staff poured out detoxification and recovery magic, and Kim Gap-du himself took out a potion from his inventory and put it in his mouth.
Soon he spoke with a much more relaxed expression on his face.
“I forgot they were going to blow themselves up. That was an oversight.”
So far, I’ve deleted Oobleck with powerful magic before he could self-destruct.
On the other hand, this time, since Jeong Jong-myeong was not in a position to take charge of the battery, he had to use a relatively less powerful magic to reduce its health, which gave it a chance to self-destruct.
Zhuge Liang answered in a soft tone.
“I just realized it at the last minute. Just be careful from now on.”
“I guess we need to keep preparing countermeasures against poison.”
“That’s right.”
After the maintenance was completed, Jeong Jong-myeong activated the magic circle.
A bright light bursts out, engulfing the group,
– Paaaaat!
“welcome.”
“welcome.”
We were greeted by dry voices.
The group checked ahead and saw an almost identical Oobleck Knight standing there.
As many as two.
Kim Gap-doo cursed softly.
“What the hell… … .”
The group was also very nervous,
The Oobleck knights each spoke a word.
“I think I can skip the explanation since you must have experienced it in the previous room.”
“But the master has one suggestion.”
“… …What is your suggestion?”
When Zhuge Xiaozhu asked, one of them spread his mana widely.
Among the hidden magic circles revealed, one magic circle in one corner was glowing red.
At a glance, I can tell where it leads.
‘Boss room.’
However, its size is so small that it seems like only one person can fit in it.
Then it won’t work.
The Oobleck knight continued speaking.
“If there is anyone who wants to come in first, don’t stop them,” he said.
“What about the rest?”
“Of course, you have to knock us down and enter the next room.”
However, a magic circle large enough to accommodate all the people will appear only after a few more passes.
It would take a long time to get there, and the chances of someone entering alone lasting that long are very slim.
Therefore, that proposal is not worth accepting at all.
It’s best to advance step by step and reach the boss room together.
—I think that’s what everyone thinks,
‘Not bad, right?’
From my perspective, it was a very tempting offer.
Our current top priority is to shorten the attack time.
To do that, you need to enter the boss room as soon as possible, but they say they won’t stop you if you go alone now.
A few risk factors also came to mind, but I was confident that I could overcome them.
So I made a decision and took a step forward.
“I will go.”
“… … !”
“… … !”
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on me.
It looks like the gentleman who was quietly doing well is suddenly asking, ‘Why?’
Besides, why would you do something that is no different from suicidal?
As I continued to walk while looking away from those gazes, Dang Gyu-yeong hurriedly ran out and blocked my path.
“You can’t go, you idiot.”
After opening his mouth, he must have remembered that he had to hide his identity, so he added ‘yo’ at the end.
And yet he tries hard to convince me.
“Just go a little further, okay?”
I moved a little closer to Dang Gyu-yeong.
And then he looked straight into my eyes and said.
“are you okay.”
“… … .”
Did he read the strong conviction in my eyes, or did he think he couldn’t stop me anymore?
Dang Gyu-yeong slowly stepped aside.
And then he spoke softly, almost inaudible to me as I passed by.
“… … I’ll see you when you’re done. I’ll tear all your balls off.”
But contrary to what he said, Dang Gyu-yeong’s gaze was still filled with worry.
The Oobleck knights also stepped aside to let me pass.
And he bowed respectfully to me as I entered the magic circle.
Soon, the red magic circle began to shine more intensely, filling my vision.
– Paaaaat!
The next moment, I was standing in a room dozens of times larger than before.
However, the boss room looked a little different from what I remembered.
It was completely empty, and the floor, walls, and ceiling were all pitch black.
Judging from the occasional wriggling movement there,
‘You’ve really painted it.’
All those black things were meant to be Ooblecks.
As I was looking around, a beautiful voice suddenly tickled my ear.
“Welcome.”
I turned my gaze to where the sound came from, and there stood a woman wearing a robe as black as the place.
The mastermind behind all this and the second main quest boss.
She was a witch of corruption.
The supporters ate it all
