#224
224. Mission type, multiple (4)
I looked ahead
Beast King Kiadni was a middle-aged giant with a height of more than 2m and muscles that seemed to explode.
He has hair like a lion’s mane, and sharp fangs protrude from his lips.
The head of the church, Saint Liane, was wearing a robe with the mark of Tell Icar and closed her eyes.
And the prince looking down at us with nonchalant eyes from the bleachers.
“He defeated that crazy witch.”
Kiadney continued.
“Very good! It’s been a while since I’ve felt this excited. Show me your strength! How much you’ve grown…”
Kiadni’s gaze turned to Kishasha.
Kishasha bit her lip in silence.
“I will take a closer look.”
Kiadni grinned and grabbed her right hand, reminiscent of a mace.
<No matter how you are, it is difficult to deal with all the heroes blessed by the goddess all at once. Let me help you.>
“I do not care!”
<This is an order from His Highness the Prince.>
After a moment of displeasure, Kiadney laughed.
Liane stepped forward.
<Heroes, we have not yet escaped the bondage of sacrifice. But if you fail this time… … Things will be a little different. Please be careful.>
Liane bowed her head to us.
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
[Warning!]
A triple warning message follows.
It was a sign announcing the appearance of a powerful enemy.
Whoops.
Above the arena, white light began to ripple.
[Configuring the field.]
thud!
A long object protruding from the light became lodged in the sandy floor of the arena.
It was the statue of the Goddess who was praying in a reverent posture.
[Goddess’ blessings fall on the entire field!]
Woo woo woo!
The goddess statue trembled once and emitted light.
[Sacred Power of the Goddess – 50%]
[Blessed Blessing – Prayer of Purification]
[The debuff applied to all areas of the depths of chaos has been lifted.]
Now I was able to grasp the rules of this mission.
I said to the members who were making nervous faces.
“Listen carefully. Our purpose is to protect this Goddess Statue and deal with them. It is to clear the way for the main force. If the Goddess Statue is properly guarded, the main force will be able to enter the field without the effects of the curse.”
I looked at the message on the right side of my field of vision once more.
The divine power value is 50%. It is endowed with the characteristic of ‘prayer of purification’. It must be because of this characteristic that the debuff is neutralized.
‘Depending on the conditions, the divine power may increase or decrease. the problem is… … .’
I looked at the two bosses.
Liane smiled lightly, as if she understood my intentions.
<Don’t worry. We cannot interfere with the Statue of Liberty. But they will be different.>
Liane pointed to the top of the castle wall.
As I moved my gaze there, a black portal was wriggling.
[Contaminated Human Soldier Lv.53] X 17
[Contaminated Human Knight Lv.61] X 3
Before long, soldiers came out of the dimensional door.
Their irrational eyes were directed towards the goddess.
‘Should I protect the goddess statue from the monsters while fighting the boss?’
If you do this well, you will receive a bonus, and if you fail, you will receive a penalty.
It was a clear rule.
<The curse has been lifted. what happened?>
“I’m a little busy explaining. We can’t go back for a while. Don’t mind and go deep into the forest.”
I cut off communication with Edith and said.
“We divide the team into a defense team and a strike team. The defense team protects the statue of Goddess, and the attack team goes out and fights the boss. The defense team is Zena, Katio, and Velkist. The attack team is me and Kishasha.”
Belquist saw me.
I shook my head.
“Kishasha will be better than you when it comes to dealing with the Beast King.”
“……Okay.”
“Formation, but don’t get too entangled. Because they can be influenced by each other’s imprint.”
Everyone nodded.
Formation and cooperation are necessary, but there is no need to be overly obsessed with them.
I had black dragon blood, and Belquist had white dragon blood.
In addition, Kishasha’s Transcendence Water Manhwa and Zena’s Protection of Wind Arrows,
And when we look at our excellent skills,
It could be seen that the time to be bound by formalities has passed.
[Monster Wave!]
[Round 1.]
Soldiers jumped from the top of the wall.
They approached the statue of the Goddess with their weapons on their hands.
<… … Whoops.>
Liane, who was watching us, smiled softly.
<You are incredibly strong. Did you accept the Goddess’ protection to the limit? It makes sense that Miss Persene was defeated.>
as she said
Each member of the 1st party is close to a human weapon.
A bastard like that would be able to deal with hundreds alone.
I came forward with my sword hanging down.
Kishasha caught up next to me.
‘If I signal… … Drive at once.’
Even without saying it, it made sense.
Kishasha nodded.
My skills and imprint composition are specialized in short-term combat.
didn’t have to wait long.
I was thinking of ending it with maximum output from the beginning.
“Ha ha ha. You’re going to finish this dinner right away?”
Kiadney walked slowly towards us.
A mischievous smile crept across his lips.
“The more delicious the dinner, the longer it should be enjoyed. Why don’t you get rid of unnecessary decorations for that? You and me too.”
Supper sucks.
I spread my left hand.
“Halgion.”
<You’re calling too late!>
Paperweight!
Dark red lightning began to bounce from his left arm.
A precursor to the activation of Black Dragon Blood.
<… … .>
Irene, who was standing behind Kiadni, flew high into the sky.
Subsequently, Irene’s body disappeared in the darkness.
<Heaven and Earth. A fair death to all.>
“Kha-ha! It’s a warrior’s fight! Let’s enjoy it!”
bang!
Kiadney kicked her foot.
The sand pit rose high, and its massive body rushed at me with great speed.
I held the bifrost in reverse.
It was the posture of invoking the spirit of the defeated sword.
‘End at once.’
I have no intention of engaging in trivial pranks.
Pajijijik! Lightning gathered at the tip of Bifrost’s sword.
‘die.’
[‘Han (★★★★)’ has entered Exceed state!]
[Unique skill, ‘Black Dragon Rin’ activated!]
[Skill, ‘Sword Soul’ activated!]
Lightning-bearing flames dwelt on the sword.
Kiadni was swinging her fist right in front of her.
I lowered my sword.
[‘The left eye that ravages the heavens’]
At that moment, purple eyes appeared above the arena.
“……?!”
The flame at the tip of the sword disappeared.
“Ha ha ha!”
Right in front.
Kiadni’s fist tried to slam into her face.
“Han! Be careful!”
Kishasha, who got in between me and Kiadni, struck him back.
Phew!
“Ooh!”
Kishasha, unable to withstand the shock, rolled over on the dirt floor.
I quickly pulled myself back.
“…”
“Why? Are you embarrassed that you can’t use the power you boast about?”
Kiadney shook her fist and smirked.
“Don’t worry. I can’t use my abilities either. Isn’t it a fair fight!”
stat window.
Immediately, my condition was displayed as a hologram.
Except for intermediate swordsmanship, all skill columns were painted gray.
The same goes for the engraved window containing Black Dragon’s Blood.
‘use… … No.’
I laughed out loud.
Above the arena, burning eyes looked over the entire arena.
The left eye that ravages the heavens.
‘It’s a very interesting pattern.’
Have a bare-body fight with that guy, is this it?
“Do you think I will avoid it?”
After laughing, I turned the sword around.
I’m not saying we’re going to take off all the decorations and go head-to-head.
“Kyahahaha! Good! That’s how you become a true warrior!”
Kiadni burst out laughing and punched me.
and.
bang!
The body exploded upon me.
‘The only skills that can be used are weapon skills.’
Black Dragon Blood, Exceed, Sword Soul, or any other skill could not be used.
I swung my sword at Kiadni.
A fist pierced the side of the sword.
“…!”
I backed off a few meters.
A pain like tearing a finger.
It was an ignorant force.
[Monster Wave!]
[Round 2.]
[Contaminated Human Soldier Lv.53] X 23
[Contaminated Human Knight Lv.61] X 5
“Nothing is written. What is this?”
ping!
Jenna pierced the neck of a jumping soldier with an arrow.
The skill was still accurate, but the power contained was lacking.
‘Jinhyung… … .’
The three defensive groups were scattered all over the field.
Normally, I would cover a wide area using engravings and skills, but… … .
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
A soldier shouted and rushed at the goddess statue.
When touched by the light emitted by the goddess statue, the soldier’s entire body melted and disappeared.
however.
[The divine power of the Goddess statue drops to 48%!]
[Prayer of Purification has been canceled!]
[The debuff is applied to all areas of the depths of chaos!]
“Defense team, unite!”
I screamed with my teeth clenched.
“Form up! Form a triangle near the Goddess Statue. Don’t let even one of them enter!”
“Why is the skill…!”
“Is this the woman’s ability?”
Belquist narrowed his brows.
I brushed off my throbbing right hand.
“It seem to be like that.”
Neither skill nor engraving is usable.
If so, the aspect of the battle would flow as before the 20th floor.
<Han… … !>
Edith’s urgent voice rang out.
While progressing through District 3, it seems that I received an unexpected baptism of debuffs.
I put my hand on my ear.
“I’m sorry. It’s our mistake. We’ll fix it soon, so wait.”
<I’ll endure it for now!>
It was after Edith cut off communication.
[The airship ‘Lee Ji-ho’ has been discontinued!]
[‘Darren (★★★★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess! His fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Shequila (★★★)’ has returned to the arms of the goddess! Her fighting spirit will be remembered forever.]
[‘Jiran (★★★★)’ is in the arms of the goddess… … .]
The death messages of close to a dozen heroes came to mind in succession.
‘damn.’
Unit 4, Lee Ji-ho, was damaged.
It wasn’t a big wave that couldn’t be active, but it seems to have been hit to some extent.
[Current Evolution: 034 / 100]
I gritted my teeth.
“Don’t let them go in. If we break through, the main camp will end.”
“all right!”
“come here!”
Jenna and Belquist hurriedly ran near the goddess statue where Katio was.
The three of them opened a triangle with each holding their weapon.
[The divine power of the Goddess statue rises to 51%!]
[A prayer of purification is granted!]
[The debuff applied to all areas of the depths of chaos has been lifted.]
Only one monster broke through the defensive line.
The debuff was soon restored.
‘The level of divine power… … It seems to go up as time goes by.’
The longer the defense succeeded, the more profitable the structure was.
I made it annoying.
“Is it okay if I turn a blind eye!”
“Of course not!”
I stepped on the ground so hard that the sand piled up and swung my sword.
The blade of the sword slammed down with a puncture effect that shreds the air.
Quaang!
My sword and the beast king’s fist collided.
A shock to the extent that the body trembled for an instant.
“What a fun joke!”
While fighting with me, Kiadni kicked me in the back.
Kishasha, who was aiming at the rear, flew away like a cannonball tens of meters away.
“yet……!”
While flying, Kishasha returned to her posture and jumped out again.
sereung. Sharp nails sprouted from Kishasha’s hands.
“one!”
Kishasha stuck out her nails.
I drew my sword and immediately stabbed it.
The two attacks crossed.
“Ha ha!”
The Beast King laughed heartily and twisted his body as he jumped up.
The blade and fingernails grazed where Kiadni had been.
Agile movements that do not suit the size.
“If you’ve only relied on things like imprints up until now, you’ll never be able to defeat this body!”
“Don’t worry about that.”
Because I’ve never been hung up on an imprint.
I’ve only been through the crisis on my own so far.
Bifrost drew an arc and followed Kiadni.
Skills and Imprints.
It’s nice to have… … .
“You don’t have to.”
For that, I have repeated countless trainings.
