Episode 296 Fluffy Fluffy
When a special item appears in a random box, a special effect may appear.
‘I think it’s a similar series since there are clouds.’
Considering the effect of the Surprise Magic Box, it is quite possible that the Cloud & Dark Cloud Bracelets will be replaced with another bracelet set.
However, it seems that the ‘cloud’ series will remain intact, reflecting Bokdeungi’s wishes.
The calligrapher’s voice was heard beyond the clouds that made it impossible to see even an inch ahead.
“……where?”
“Here it is. Here, hands.”
The calligrapher who secretly grabs the hand I extend.
As we shook our hands up and down like shaking hands, the clouds gradually cleared away.
In the place where the surprise box had been was a pair of bracelets, which looked almost identical to before.
It looks like clouds the size of fingernails are connected by thin golden threads.
The only noticeable difference is the addition of a relatively large cloud in between.
I checked the options,
[Clumpy Cloud Clumpy Cloud Bracelet (A+)]
▷Summons a cloud.
▷The cloud protects the user from magical damage.
▷Munge Munge (Reuse Cooldown: 1 hour)
▷Upgradeable
[Dark Cloud Fluffy Bracelet (A+)]
▷Summons a dark cloud.
▷The dark cloud protects the user from magical damage.
▷Fluffy (Reuse waiting time: 1 hour)
▷Upgradeable
‘It came out okay.’
The effectiveness of cumulus clouds and dark clouds has already been proven through various battles and strategic battles.
Each active skill is added here, and an upgrade slot is also created.
This means that depending on what you add, you can even aim for S-class.
The calligrapher tilted her head as she looked at the item description.
“Clump clump?”
“Let’s take a test drive here. Give me a hand.”
“huh.”
The calligrapher’s wrist was filled with a cloud bracelet, and I wore a dark cloud bracelet.
Soon, with a popping sound, fist-sized dark clouds and puffy clouds formed, and they began to flutter around and play tag.
As I watched the scene and gave a quick nod, the calligrapher used her skill.
“… … Clump, clump.”
– Boom!
The clouds suddenly puffed up.
It’s like a white smoke bomb has exploded.
‘That’s what blocks magic.’
Previously, all you could do was manipulate small clouds to swallow up your opponent’s magic one by one, and you couldn’t even swallow up that many.
On the other hand, the scope has expanded so much that it is almost like building a wall.
Soon the cloud shrank back to its original size, and this time I cast my skill.
“So fluffy.”
– Boom!
The dark clouds swelled to the size of a large pillow.
If ‘Munge-Munge’ is light and spread out, ‘Pooshin-Pooshin’ is compressed but has a relatively narrow range.
The cloud has the property of ‘absorbing’ magical attacks.
Since dark clouds have the property of ‘reflecting’ physical attacks, there are also differences in their skills.
The calligrapher poked the dark clouds with his finger, perhaps out of curiosity.
“So fluffy.”
“Just wait for a moment.”
Then the calligrapher put his palm instead of his fingers, then leaned his head back slightly, and soon hugged the dark clouds as if satisfied.
“… … Soft and fluffy.”
It looked like he wanted to just fall asleep, but the happy time didn’t last long.
Because the dark clouds quickly shrank back to their original size.
“… … ?”
Naturally, the calligrapher’s gaze turned towards me.
It’s almost like asking, ‘Why are you doing this?’
I shrugged and answered.
“It’s not me. I’m just short.”
Fluffy and Clumpy provide massive physical/magical defense, but their duration is short.
Moreover, the cooldown is 1 hour, so it can only be used once per battle.
Still, it is more than enough and has an overflowing performance as a last resort.
“… … .”
Despite the explanation above, the calligrapher still looked displeased.
I guess he doesn’t like it when I give him a pillow and then take it away.
Of course, it won’t be difficult to change the subject.
Because we are in a downtown area.
“Shall we go now? Game center.”
“huh.”
As expected, the calligrapher nodded, feeling delighted.
* * *
Game Center.
We headed straight to the student-only corner.
Nearly two months had passed, but the arrangement of the arcade machines remained virtually the same.
The categories were similar, but
It’s popular among students, and it’s also because it’s a hippopotamus that secretly grabs points.
I exchanged glances with the calligrapher.
“First, let’s look at the prizes.”
“huh.”
The right order is to set a goal and then follow the appropriate sport.
So, I looked through the list of prizes,
– Majestic halo effect
– Giant banana doll
– Random rank up *2
– All-in-one whitening cream
… … .
“There is a random rank up.”
That’s secretly hard to see.
Somehow, I feel like it was a good idea to come to the downtown area this week.
It’s a bit disappointing that there are only two, but they affect spec-up and can also be used to get stamp coupons, so they should be your top priority.
“… … .”
I glanced to the side and saw that the calligrapher also seemed to want a random rank up.
Next, we checked the acquisition conditions.
[Random Rank Up]*2
▷Acquisition Condition 1: In
▷Acquisition Condition 2: Death count less than 3 times
“It’s a bit looser this time.”
Last time, the calligrapher achieved 20 kills and I achieved 20 assists, but this time, we combined them to 15.
You don’t have to give it to just one person, and the number is a bit lower.
It seems that the difficulty has been lowered as only two random rank-ups are given.
Of course, it’s the same if you die three times, it’s over, so you shouldn’t let your guard down until the very end.
We took our seats in the two-person
Then, each person paid 300 points to purchase a token and put it into the arcade machine.
A human silhouette with a ‘?’ engraved on it appears on the screen and changes in an instant.
The character to be controlled is randomly selected.
The calligrapher watched the scene and said a word.
“Barbarian.”
“Do you want to do that?”
“Strong.”
Maybe he had fun playing Barbarian before and wants to do it again.
I used to sweep through my enemies like a destroyer.
I assisted as a barbarian poisoner.
‘But I don’t think the same thing will happen.’
Although characters are randomly assigned, characters that have been played before are cleverly avoided.
I suspect some magical device is at work.
However, I didn’t say it out loud because I thought it wouldn’t ruin the mood.
Soon, my character, who had been floating around with ‘?’, appeared.
A man covered in black cloth from head to toe, holding a dagger in each hand that was sharp like a thorn.
He crossed his daggers and made a sharp sound.
– Srrrrung!
‘assassin.’
Like other assassins, he is weak and can be knocked down after one or two hits, but his attack power is strong and he can hide himself.
‘He’s my favorite character.’
As I was thinking about that, the calligrapher’s character was also decided.
– Srrrrung!
Exactly like my character, except with a little bit of coloring.
The assassin has been caught.
“Why are you following me?”
“… … ?”
The calligrapher shook his head as if he didn’t know.
We suddenly became an assassin duo.
‘It turned out well.’
Assassins are characters that are secretly greatly affected by combinations, so if you’re unlucky, you’ll likely end up playing separately from your teammates.
A typical example is when a team member is a magician, but since they are both weak, they cannot protect each other, and if they enter clumsily, they may get caught up in range magic.
In that sense, if both of them were assassins, it would be a pretty good combination.
If we move together, the synergy will be good, and I can just take care of the operations.
The screen quickly changed to show that all the participants’ characters had been decided.
The next moment we were standing in the middle of a dense forest.
“That’s a good start.”
“There are plenty of places to hide.”
There are large rocks jutting out here and there, and the trees are thick, making them ideal for cover.
Plus, there are a lot of bushes, so it’s the perfect place for an assassin.
The countdown begins soon and the match begins.
[3]
[2]
[1]
[Start!]
[Sassin 0K/0D/0A]
[Hossin 0K/0D/0A]
“Okay, let’s go. Start the engine.”
“Vroom vroom.”
We began to move through the forest, carefully examining our surroundings.
Then, after a while, it stopped,
“Guests are coming.”
“customer.”
Because I saw two shadows walking from the opposite direction.
One is large and the other is small.
I gave instructions to the calligrapher.
“Try hiding for now.”
“huh.”
When they used stealth, the two assassins’ appearances became translucent.
In that state, we hid behind cover and waited.
Soon the enemies were revealed, the barbarian in the lead and the wizard following behind.
I gave instructions again.
“Let’s start with the Barbarian.”
“… … .”
A calligrapher who answers by slightly nodding his chin.
We stared at each other with extreme concentration.
And the moment they approached within striking distance, they simultaneously leapt out and rushed towards the Barbarians.
Four daggers, sharp like thorns, are thrust into vital points.
– Pfft pfft pfft!!
“No, what is it!”
A surprised cry came from someone across the student corner.
Probably the participant who manipulated the Barbarian.
The Barbarian, of course, died instantly from the surprise attack.
The wizard flinched and tried to react, but his fate was not much different.
Before I could even cast the spell, a dagger was stuck in my neck.
– Pok pok,
[Sassin 1K/0D/1A]
[Hossin 1K/0D/1A]
“Strong.”
“Strong.”
If we were to go by the rules, it would be right to target the back row magician first, but since we only have two assassins, the instantaneous destructive power is enormous.
So much so that even melee characters can be defeated in one hit.
In addition, the expectation that they would not be able to deal with a surprise attack because it was early in the game also played a big role.
After I got those 2 kills so easily, I said to the calligrapher.
“Let’s stay here for the time being.”
“A good place.”
There’s no better place to hide, so it seems like a better option to settle down in this area rather than keep moving.
Wouldn’t it be satisfying to just kill the incoming enemies?
So I hid in the crevices of the rocks and the calligrapher hid in the bushes and waited.
Sure enough, after a while, the guests showed up.
“They’re here again.”
The barbarian and wizard duo we just defeated.
It looks like he’s come for revenge.
Barbarians uselessly swing their swords at bushes and trees, and wizards conjure spells ready to strike at any moment.
He had good spirit, but his skills were lacking to exact revenge on the mini-game Demon King.
As they approached, the calligrapher and I jumped out,
– Pfft pfft pfft!
The barbarian was impaled by four more daggers.
Then, the wizard blasted the magic he had been casting, but I easily dodged it and then hit him in the eye with the same spell.
[Sassin 1K/0D/3A]
[Hosassin 3K/0D/1A]
“Ouch! Again!”
The victim’s cries echoed through the student corner.
I came for revenge and got hit again without being able to do anything, so it’s understandable to be angry.
But on the other hand, I also had this thought.
I’ve heard that voice somewhere before.
‘Isn’t that Hong Yeon-hwa?’
The supporters eat it all
