Chapter 143
“… … What is this all of a sudden?”
The lights that were subtly illuminating the artificial cave were turned off.
Even the flow of mana flowing through the artificial cave stopped.
It was as if there was a power outage in the arena.
‘Did a real power outage happen?’
Although the main energy source is mana, it does not mean that power is not used.
As the power went down, even the mana supplies installed throughout the arena became unavailable.
Maybe that’s what the situation is like.
‘… … It doesn’t make sense that even the terminal device is broken.’
However, the hypothesis was soon refuted on its own.
As I said earlier, it doesn’t make sense for a power outage to affect the terminal device.
and another one.
‘If the system went down due to a power outage, the monsters should also have stopped.’
Restraints are manufactured that way.
But what about the current situation?
I can still feel this soggy life. A wild and bloody spirit unique to wild monsters.
Instead of losing his mind, he became more active.
‘Rather than sleeping, he’s running out of control.’
It feels as if all restraints and control spells have been released and the body has become free.
To that extent, the momentum that entangled my body right now was vivid and intense.
‘Even in this situation, the fact that the management side is not showing any reaction is also a problem.’
The management side, which should have responded immediately to the rampage of monsters, has not responded for a minute.
‘Could it be the aftermath of an external attack?’
The fact that the management side is not showing any action is the same as saying that the management side is currently in a situation where it cannot easily move.
And the situation in which the management side could not move was only an outside attack.
In other words, this situation is system destruction by an external attack.
Or, it means that the system is down.
‘If that’s the case, now is not the time to be idly organizing thoughts like this.’
I turned around with a serious expression and glared at the upper boss room.
‘The Korean team, as well as other team players, are in danger. Not to mention me at the forefront.’
Needless to say, monsters out of the control spells are very dangerous.
All the special advantages that the management had blocked because it was dangerous would have been unlocked.
The lock that was locked in terms of ability must have been unlocked.
‘It’s fortunate that I managed to defeat the Death Stalker.’
If the Death Stalker was alive, and if the restraints and control of the Death Stalker had been released, then it would have been a real uproar.
If he regenerates deadly poison and starts using it aggressively, the loss of life would be immeasurable.
Eliminating the Death Stalker first was a godsend. It’s all coincidence, of course.
‘That doesn’t mean the other two are weak compared to the Death Stalker… … .’
Monsters located in Area A and Area B of the upper boss room.
They are also powerful enough to compete with the Death Stalker.
It’s just that it’s better because there’s no poison, but they’re definitely not the ones to ignore.
Aaaaaang! Aaaaaang!
At that moment, there was a continuous sound of something pounding hard on the solid iron door in front.
‘also… … They’re trying to get out of the boss room.’
Perhaps the monster located in the boss room was swinging its fist to break the boss room’s iron door.
‘I’m sure I’ll be able to survive with just one, but… … .’
Kigigigigigg! Awesome profit!
On the other side, there was also the sound of iron clashing with iron.
‘… … That’s right.’
It sounded like cutting through a thick iron door with something sharp.
It is certainly.
The guy in Boss Room Area B is also trying to escape the Boss Room.
‘… … What should I do?’
If it’s just one, it’s impossible to deal with two at the same time.
No matter how much I say, I can’t face two A ranks.
If you use Gongjin, you should be able to run away, but as soon as Gongjin ends, it will be a meal for them.
‘I can’t even run away.’
If I run away from here, the two monsters that have escaped from the upper boss room will head to the lieutenant and lower boss rooms.
When that happens, of course, carnage unfolds.
It will join the lower and middle level monsters to slaughter the players.
‘I’m going to gather all those who can’t come out of the iron gate and form a group.’
When the monsters start to swarm, then I really have no choice.
‘As expected, the best thing is to stop the two guys here.’
There is only one passage from the upper boss room zone to the middle boss room zone.
As long as you keep that passageway, there’s no way they’ll head to the lieutenant boss zone.
‘If only the terminal equipment was operating safely… … .’
If only I could have summoned my colleagues, I would have been able to stop it somehow.
I clicked my tongue as I looked at the terminal device that was still emitting black smoke.
‘after. Then, the only way left is to join hands with other teams that are in the process of attacking around here.’
There are no teams clearing the upper boss room, but there must be some teams clearing the middle boss room to the very end.
If you join hands with that team and respond, something can happen.
Whoops! Close by!
The knocking on the iron door and the sound of cutting continued to be heard.
‘The iron door of the upper boss room is solid. No matter how bad they are, it won’t be easy to break through and get out. Now is your chance.’
In the meantime, I quickly go to the lieutenant boss room, find people who can help me, and form a party.
That’s the surest book that can safely pass this situation.
I immediately flew towards the lieutenant boss room.
* * *
Open Raid Lieutenant Boss Room John was abusive.
“Kyle! back!”
“Kuk!”
The monsters that had escaped the middle-level boss room began to gather and form a group one by one.
There were only 9 of them in such a group.
“… … Lesser Feiler.”
“This is the 10th.”
No, now 10 of them.
A whopping 10 C-rank monsters formed a group.
“… … It’s dangerous. It’s not something the 9 of us can do.”
British team four including Kyle.
Five American teams including Dahlia.
It was virtually impossible to stop that army of 10 monsters with a total of 9 people.
“No, there are only two B-rank monsters. If you want to knock it down, you can knock it down. The problem is that defeating them isn’t the end.”
Dahlia blew superheat inferno to keep the approaching spider-type monster in check.
“This is the final boss room. It’s a place with many unexplored boss rooms. The number will keep growing.”
Roaring!
Dahlia’s blue flame completely burned the cobweb trap the Cosmo Tarantula was setting.
“And worse than that… … .”
Then, the moment he tries to burn the spider.
Krrrrr!
In the meantime, a red wolf intervened. It was a hell wolf with strong resistance to fire.
“… … Also these guys. We are connecting with each other.”
Hell Wolf protected Cosmo Tarantula.
In other words, the monsters are linking each other.
“Is it because there is a history of being connected to each other through restraints? There is absolutely no animosity towards each other.”
“… … Does that make sense?”
Kyle asked incredulously.
“I don’t know. But if that’s not the case, it doesn’t make sense for them to connect.”
“It is, but… … .”
Kyle used his speed and wind to roam between the monsters in front.
Dahlia actively backed up such Kyle.
“Let’s think about it later! Right now, it doesn’t matter how they connect!”
“know!”
In response to Dahlia’s cry, Kyle responded with the same cry.
After that, conversations between the two almost ceased.
Concentrating on the battle with each other, we did only the briefings that each other needed.
A great battle followed, befitting the elite teams of the United States and Britain.
The battle line doesn’t shake even if you try to match the sum for the first time.
Above all, the connection between Kyle at the forefront and Dahlia at the end was fantastic.
“Eight with this! No, seven!”
Fortunately, as time passed, the number of monsters decreased.
I don’t know why, but monsters aren’t being added.
Thanks to that, there are currently 7 monsters left. As the number decreases, the burden on the party is also significantly reduced.
At this rate, it won’t take too long to catch the remaining seven.
“Everyone, cheer up a little more! All you have to do now is hold on!”
Kyle, who was in the forefront, shouted as he swung his sword at Hell Wolf.
It was an encouragement to give strength to everyone who was getting tired, and at the same time, it was a roar to assert one’s will.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
At that moment, Kyle’s sword cut off Hell Wolf’s head.
A Hell Wolf’s head flying round and round in the sky.
Hell Wolf’s body, which had lost its head, fell to the ground as it was.
“dahlia!!”
At the same time, Kyle shouted.
“thank you! Kyle!”
Fire, fire, fire!
At that moment, Dahlia’s mana expanded further.
“Dog-like puppies. There is no shield that protects you anymore.”
A hot momentum full of anger.
The cannon with the highest firepower, which was suppressed by the anti-fire magic counter called Hell Wolf, and could only assist, finished warming up completely.
‘The Bon Dance of the Resurrecting Bird.’
The most powerful magic Dahlia can use.
A bird resembling a phoenix flew through the air and played among the monsters.
That’s why Yunmu.
The waltz performed by the Bird of Flame completely burned the lives of the five monsters.
“… … I’m messing around. write.”
Dahlia took a desperate breath and spat out a curse.
At that moment, Dahlia’s body tilted. Mana was used too excessively, and dizziness occurred for a moment.
dump.
Dahlia sat down on one knee.
“dahlia!”
Surprised, Sarah called out to Dahlia.
“are you okay! It’s okay, so focus on taking care of the remaining two guys!”
“… … okay!”
Sarah immediately returned to focusing on Kyle’s backup.
The remaining two monsters are characterized by speed, so it is quite difficult to finish them off.
In order to be sure to finish, the rearguard must properly tie them up.
“haha… … .”
Dahlia knelt down on one knee, looked at the floor, and took a deep breath.
‘I thought I was pretty confident in my physical strength… … .’
I didn’t know that fighting monsters in real battle would be this hard.
After this competition, I will work harder to improve my physical strength. Dahlia thought to herself.
“dahlia!”
At that moment, Kyle’s urgent voice was heard.
At the same time, a chill ran down Dahlia’s back.
The feeling that a huge death is aiming at you.
Dahlia’s body was gripped with a slimy intent to kill, as if death was right around the corner.
Dahlia slowly raised her head.
‘Bluefind Jaguar… … ?’
A wild assassin characterized by speed derived from his excellent leg strength.
A bluefinned jaguar filled Dahlia’s field of vision.
An open mouth.
If you move forward another 5cm, Dahlia’s head will be inside its mouth.
And it will be chewed and eaten as it is.
‘ah.’
Did it come sooner or later?
Or was it there from the beginning and was quietly hiding?
With that thought, my vision became very slow.
Is this what you call a kaleidoscope?
‘Am I dying?’
Inside the mouth of a bluefinned jaguar.
Perhaps he had already eaten someone, his sharp teeth and tongue covered in soggy blood caught his eyes.
‘… … Are you dying?’
Dahlia closed her eyes.
There is no way what to do in this situation.
‘It’s unfortunate.’
so stupidly
Dahlia laughed bitterly.
‘… … I hope it doesn’t hurt.’
and wished
Even if I die, I want to die without pain. It’s just because I hate being sick.
That was when Dahlia closed her eyes completely.
Whoo-!
The wind blew.
A clear wind, different from the warm wind that comes out of the Bluefinned Jaguar’s mouth.
Even though the wind is clear and refreshing, it is a wind that is just nasty to Dahlia.
‘This sound, this feeling… … . Kyle!’
The refreshing sensation unique to the Wind God gently embraced Dahlia’s body.
and immediately after that,
Awesome!
I heard the sound of something cutting my body.
Beyond Dahlia’s field of view, beyond the throat of the Bluefinned Jaguar, the scenery outside is visible.
Perhaps Kyle cut off the head of the Bluefinned Jaguar.
Cheer la la rock!
At the same time, the severed head of the bluefinned jaguar was blown away by the wind.
Dahlia, who had escaped from danger and completely returned to her original vision, smiled brightly and hugged Kyle, who had come to her side.
“thank you!”
No matter how much I hate it, it is the person who saved my life.
Dahlia’s reaction was bound to be favorable.
“I will definitely repay this favor. Just tell me if you need anything! I… … .”
“okay?”
Dahlia’s body trembled.
This is not Kyle’s voice.
This voice… … .
“It just went well. I had a favor to ask of you.”
Dahlia slowly lifted her neck and checked the face of the man she was hugging.
“I know you are tired. Please do me a favor.”
“… … Poetry, Shin Ha-yul?”
Shinha rate.
“Why are you here… … .”
“Within 30 seconds from now, two A-rank monsters who have escaped from the upper boss room will come here.”
“… … what?”
“We have to stop them in this passage. Lend me a hand.”
He was looking at Dahlia with a serious expression on his face.
* * *
Meanwhile, that time.
Near the escort vehicle transporting The Feast.
“… … This, no matter how big it is, isn’t it a big deal?”
“… … .”
A red mage and a green mage.
And Shin In-hyeok was wary of the assailant with an expression that could not be more serious than this.
“Clear the way.”
An indescribable, ghastly voice.
“If you do, I will save you.”
A dark atmosphere that embodies black.
“The Dark Mage King… … .”
The owner of the Black Magic Tower.
The pinnacle of black magic.
“What? I have already prepared excuses.”
He trudged over to the three of them.
“You will feel it. The monsters affected by my mana ran out of control at once. If left as it is, the damage across the United States will be incalculable.”
Covered in darkness, I couldn’t even see my face properly.
Even so, it was clear that he was smiling.
“To protect the citizens, and to protect a warlock. Think about what would make more sense.”
Soon, the Dark Mage King, who was seated 20 meters in front of him, spewed mana.
“Give me five seconds. Choose in between.”
Mana as if he despises the world.
“Are you a citizen? Are you a black magician?”
The momentum was so bloody that even the three 8th-circle archmages were stiff.
“Is it death? Is it survival?”
That’s when the whole place started to be eroded by the black mage king’s mana.
“All three. Please back off.”
Pure white mana intervened.
“I will stop sleeping. The three of you, please stop the runaway monsters.”
Sofia Annechefrey.
The pinnacle of wizards that exist at the symmetrical point with the king of black magic.
“long time no see. About 10 years ago?”
She glared at the Dark Mage King with bloody eyes.
