#227
227. Mission type, multiple (7)
After a storm has passed,
I lowered the sword I was holding.
Looking ahead, the scenery of the ruined arena caught my eye.
The sand that covered the floor had been dug up, and the ground exposed inside the sand had cracks engraved as if an earthquake had occurred. And on top of that, the Supaewang had collapsed.
<Hoo. You mean it still leaves a shape? He was a pretty good guy.>
Gugukon muttered in admiration.
“Ku… Le…”
The master of the throne is breathing heavily.
His dignified appearance was nowhere to be found, and his whole body was covered with scars.
I won’t last long and die.
<Hehehe… … .>
The king’s heart thumped slowly.
Cool. Dark black blood flowed from his mouth.
<You… … It’s too strong.>
I made no reply to his words.
It was undeniable that the current me had a strength that was not suitable for a 4-star level.
The severe side effects that usually occur after using large techniques have now been alleviated to a tolerable level.
<You might be able to overcome your limits.>
Jump over.
I noticed that the meaning did not refer to the 7th star.
Even if I get promoted to 7 stars and go beyond the limit of being a hero, I can’t completely escape the rules of Pick Me Up. You will still be bound by the game.
<But remember, warrior. How long do you think your comrades will be able to follow you? Soon you will be left alone That’s never fun.>
“I’m worried about you.”
<Khaha!>
Kiadni laughed, baring her molars.
And then it stopped moving.
[The divine power of the Goddess has reached 100%!]
[Blessing of brilliance is strengthened to the maximum!]
[Debuffs in all areas of the depths of chaos have been permanently lifted!]
[Applied Buff – Increases all stats of the hero by 30%]
The statue of the goddess gave off a dazzling flash, and then it became light and scattered.
I took a deep breath and held the hilt of my sword long.
[Current Evolution: 064 / 100]
The mission isn’t over yet.
So far, we have only released the barriers blocking the field,
The main mission of defeating the Egg of Chaos remained.
‘Black dragon blood… … .’
I checked my left hand.
paper weave. Dark red lightning flashed once, but the intensity weakened.
I can’t use the special move like before.
‘doesn’t care.’
The physical condition is not bad.
It’s not that I can’t write the imprint completely.
I looked at the corpse of the King of Matches for a while, then entered the dimensional gap that was shining in the corner of the arena.
“…”
When I opened my eyes, a familiar sight came into my field of vision.
I soon realized that we were on the deck of the Lucette.
<Aaaaaaagh!>
With the desperate screams of the pilot, the Lucette descended rapidly.
<If you want to live, get down!>
A black thing appeared in front of my eyes.
Instinctively I fell to the floor.
Whoa! Kwajik!
A black, elongated thing swept across the deck of the Lucette.
The steel pillar broke like a can of millet and fell over the railing.
Jenna, who was lying face down right next to me, smiled.
“It’s not too late, brother.”
“You said you’d come soon. So the current situation is…”
<Don’t follow me!>
The Lucette spun around and slipped through the gap.
“Not very good.”
[Depth of Chaos (Level 7)]
[Applied Buff – Increases all stats of the hero by 30%]
The Taoneer fleet seems to have entered the depths of the forest.
What had just swept across the deck were the tentacles of the Chaos Egg.
I finally came within range of him.
The length of the tentacles was several hundred meters, but the main body remained for a long time.
‘How many are left?’
I scanned the raid status window floating on the left side of my field of vision.
About 100 people died. Fifty people were severely injured, making it difficult to continue the battle. Therefore, the current remaining force was about 250 people. The five airships were wearing couches or medium-wave conditions side by side, but none of them had crashed yet. It could be seen as a good thing that all the airships were safe.
‘I don’t know how long I can hold out.’
As the magic engine reached its limit, the airship’s current barrier was released.
I pulled out the dagger from the back of my belt and threw it.
The blade of the dagger pierced the harpy’s head as it tried to penetrate the bottom of the ship.
[Chimera Lv.53] X 5
Chimeras appeared in front of Lucette, who was avoiding the tentacles.
A fire was burning in their mouths.
Whoaaaaagh!
A transparent film blocked the fire pouring down on the deck.
It was Katio’s magic barrier.
“They really never end!”
Katio gritted his teeth.
Flying monsters were still flying in the forest.
[Danger!]
[A dark portal is created!]
Woo woo woo.
Several black holes appeared side by side above the fleet.
And monsters poured out of the hole.
Monsters above and below,
In front of it, tentacles several meters in size swarmed incessantly.
oh oh oh oh
[Giant Lv.64]
A huge palm quickly approached the airship.
After accelerating once more, Lucette slipped through the cracks in her fingers.
‘Even a large monster appeared.’
If they didn’t get the buff in the arena, they would have been wiped out right away.
I put my hand on my ear. And I opened a private channel with just me and Edith.
“What’s the current situation? Did you find another object?”
<I searched all over the place, but couldn’t find it. The dimensional vortex that the 1st party discovered is everything.>
I narrowed my brows.
It wasn’t Edith’s voice.
<This is Benic from Party 2. Edith’s sister is injured, so she’s taking over for a while.>
“injury?”
I looked at the engineering window again.
‘… … this.’
why didn’t you know
It seems that Edith did not look at the status window properly, thinking that she would be safe.
I enlarged the engineering window and saw the status of the 2nd party.
There was a red light on the name of the leader, Edith.
[‘Edith (★★★★)’ has fallen into a dying state. Your life is in danger!]
‘Moribund.’
Not good.
“How is Edith?”
<That… … .>
Bennik couldn’t open his mouth.
I looked behind Lucette.
The far end of the fleet, the battered Capitalism, is flying hesitantly.
The outer deck, which had been reinforced with high-strength alloy, was in a mess, and thick smoke was rising from the holes in the side.
‘Did I receive a concentrated attack?’
Other airships were firing, but the monsters were gathering on the Capitalism without hesitation.
While we were fighting in the arena, they seemed to be focusing on the raid’s flagship, the Capitalism.
Come to think of it, Edith’s report hadn’t been heard since the middle of the fight.
“Abandon the ship. Take the survivors and transfer to the Tear.”
<Your sister’s instructions have already come down.>
I took a close look at the Capitalism issue.
Above the deck, a blurry portal swings.
A passage leading to another airship.
Sailors and other heroes were entering there.
‘It’s Edith’s turn… … Is it the very last?’
stupid guy
What is the captain going to do in the back?
“Benik, bring Edith. Force her in.”
<… … I’m fine.>
A weak voice was heard.
<Sorry, I lost my eye while fighting.>
“How much is the injury? How many potions do you have left?”
<Still, thanks to you, it was quite fun. Try using a coat of arms.>
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
I looked at Katio.
Katio was busy blocking the attack of the monsters.
As long as the current barrier is off, the monsters will crash the airship in an instant if there is no magic barrier.
Other airship wizards were taking over the role of current barriers.
‘I can’t create a new dimension door… … Is there any?’
[Current Evolution: 072 / 100]
oh oh oh
A shadow giant reaching a hundred meters long swung a huge hand.
However, a tentacle that came out of nowhere caught the giant and dragged it along.
Soon after, the sound of chewing something echoed through the forest.
[The Airship ‘Capitalism’ has been destroyed!]
The Capitalism’s defenses were finally breached.
Hundreds of monsters clung to the deck and hull at once.
[‘Shirad (★★★★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess! His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Nidal (★★★)’ returned to the arms of the goddess! His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Withney (★★★★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess! Her fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Haiden (★★★)’ is in the arms of the goddess… … .]
Heroes who could not evacuate were killed in droves.
<There was nothing until District 7. You have to go further inside. Han, you take the command from now on. Benik, sent to the Fran, will help you.>
“…”
Even if you build a portal now, it’s too late.
The speed of the airships moving forward did not decrease.
The Capitalism, which had broken away from the ranks, was pulling away behind it.
‘… … under.’
I raised my left arm.
paper weave. Dark red lightning flashed again.
<Fools! Save your strength, Han! There is still a lot left to finish!>
I looked around at the members on deck.
They will also know the current situation.
“Are you guys not going too?”
“It’s already too late.”
Belquist crossed his arms.
Jenna remained silent, her head bowed.
“Okay. Even if I’m alone…”
no.
I pressed down the lingering feelings and got rid of it.
this is not a good choice
never the right answer… … It wasn’t.
‘shit.’
I closed my eyes.
tooth support.
A noise rang in my ears.
It was a command channel dedicated to Edith.
<The notice is not far. You can keep going.>
“…”
<For us… … win.>
[‘Edith (★★★★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess! Her fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
Wow!
The Capitalism was ablaze with blinding flashes.
[The airship ‘Capitalism’ has exploded!]
It seems that the emergency self-destruct switch was pressed.
The monsters gathered nearby were completely annihilated.
[Current Evolution: 082 / 100]
somewhere not far.
The huge egg is shaking.
‘Not yet, yet.’
shit. Damn it.
The surface of the egg started to crack.
Dozens of tentacles moved vigorously.
I put my hand over my ear.
With Edith dead, command of the raid fell to me.
“It’s one of the 1st party. Airship captains come in. Don’t gather, spread out. Spread as much as possible to reduce damage. From here, it’s a fight against time.”
damn
A large gold mark was engraved in the middle of the egg.
Between them, black eyeballs were revealed.
[Current Evolution: 085 / 100]
Their black eyes met their gazes.
‘There was no object.’
In the end, the goddess statue was not found in this field.
The one in the arena was all there was.
The role of the statue is to lift the curse and strengthen the heroes.
And, it seems that the role of the statue is not limited to that.
[You have entered the depths of chaos (final stage)!]
[The flash of brilliance shines dazzlingly!]
[The goddess blesses the heroes of ‘Party 1’!]
At some point, the airship reached right in front of the egg.
“This is the last one. Get ready.”
The final phase of the 50th floor.
I lowered my sword.
<We… … What can I do?>
I heard Benic’s voice.
“Don’t let the monsters come to us.”
<Yes.>
Whoops.
The three airships opened fire in unison.
The gunfire was directed at the monsters outside.
‘Goddess blessing?’
I looked down at the black surface.
The light-enveloped Bifrost was trembling.
‘That’s funny.’
you’re kidding
Anyway, there was only one thing left.
I looked ahead
Black eyes were still staring at me.
