#228
228. Mission type, multiple (8)
pop! Pupperpuppung!
The fleet is pouring fire on the monsters in the outer zone.
Hundreds of monsters all at once turned into powder and scattered. However, as many as the number of deaths, monsters popped out from somewhere and charged the fleet.
‘I can’t stand it for long.’
Even if ammunition is infinite, there is a limit to the durability of cannons and ballistas.
Smoke was already rising from the muzzles of some of the cannons.
Unable to open fire. It seemed to be out of order due to continuous artillery fire from the beginning of the mission.
Although it may be worth undergoing reorganization and repairs for a while, the fleet did not stop shelling.
They are faithfully following my order not to let the monsters cling to the 1st party.
[Current Evolution: 092 / 100]
shit.
The shell of the egg began to crumble.
Huge cracks spread up and down from the black pupils.
‘The last one is simple.’
I firmly gripped the sword in my right hand.
Bifrost’s blade emitted a dazzling light.
I’ll give you strength, so you’re telling me to take care of it.
rumble.
The whole forest is shaking.
The trees in the forest were swept away by the earthquake and smashed all at once, and the overturned ground rose and sank.
[Current Evolution: 093 / 100]
Kwajik.
The egg, which swallowed several large monsters in one bite, trembled.
“Listen up, mechanic. From now on, the Lucette will approach the egg at full speed.”
<… … over there?>
The tentacles spread around the egg waved all at once.
“If we don’t deal with it, it’s annihilation. I don’t have time to play with you. So okay? No? Say it quickly!”
<That… … .>
thud!
I hit the deck hard.
<Ah, okay! you can go! I’m going, go!>
The propellant behind the airship spewed fire.
high-speed navigation. The Lucette quickly burrowed into Al’s vicinity.
<Aaaaaaa! I don’t know!>
Tentacles bent towards the airship and approached.
[The airship ‘Lucette’ has been destroyed!]
cooong!
In an instant, the ship rocked violently with vibration.
The tips of the long, thin tentacles glided past the sides of the airship.
“This is fine! Ignore it.”
The Lucette moved around and around to avoid the approaching tentacles, and gradually began to get closer to the egg as it rotated.
The deck rocked like a roller coaster. I held onto the railing and held on. Upside down and left and right reversed, but everyone was balanced and holding on well.
<Too many tentacles!>
“Leave it to us.”
Kang!
The tentacle that was about to hit the hull bounced off the transparent membrane.
Katio’s magic barrier.
Paaang!
A huge blast exploded, and a steel arrow pierced the middle of the tentacle.
Jenna was standing upside down on an overturned deck, firing a longbow in rapid succession. It couldn’t deal with the tentacle itself, but it was enough to change her trajectory.
[Current Evolution: 094 / 100]
Ooh oh oh!
In an instant, the Lucette was pushed back.
A roar that shook the air.
shit. blah blah.
The crumbled outer shell was pouring down like rain.
<Ahhh!>
bang!
Tentacles sprouted from under the forest and pierced the rear of the airship.
[The airship ‘Lucette’ has been destroyed!]
‘The magic engine… … .’
1/3 of the Lucette was destroyed.
All in all, the part where the engine is.
Losing momentum, the Lucette began to fall rapidly.
“you can do it!”
Katio waved his hand.
Light blue magical energy entangled the entire airship like a spider’s web.
<Reconstruction of the virtual horse power engine!>
Woo woo woo.
The plummeting Lucette stopped in the air.
“Go again!”
No answer.
I hurried into the cockpit.
A girl in a mechanic’s uniform was lying on the steering wheel, bleeding.
I think I bumped my head wrong as the airship rocked.
‘Did he pass out?’
However, at present, there was no manpower to be removed for airship piloting.
I snapped my fingers.
[Teeling!]
[Master, ‘Han (★★★★)’ requests manual control of the Lucette!]
A notification popped up on Amkena’s control panel.
Amkena, who was aligning the ranks of the fleet with tactical tools, hurriedly turned her perspective and looked at the Lucette on the screen.
[Do you want to operate the airship manually?]
[Yes / No]
The Lucette rose slowly.
Seven tentacles were attacking in front of him.
giggling!
Lucette dodged the tentacles by turning five times in a row.
A workmanship worthy of admiration.
‘Let’s drive first.’
I also prepared a statue of a war horse for me.
Paaang!
The Lucette went at high speed.
[‘Katio (★★★★)’ enters a state of runaway magic.]
[Tips/Power runaway is a condition that occurs when a wizard overuses magic.]
“Ugh!”
Blood poured out of Katio’s mouth.
It is replacing the role of the magic engine with its own body.
No matter how talented a magician you are, you can’t help but go too far.
[Current Evolution: 095 / 100]
Beyond the half-crumbled egg, its shape was vaguely revealed.
“Jenna.”
“Let’s go!”
Papapang! phut! Papang!
The tentacles pierced by the steel arrows flinched away.
“Belquist.”
“I’m ready.”
“Kishasha.”
“let’s go!”
I nodded.
It is now 30m to the egg.
A landscape reminiscent of a black, gigantic cliff unfolded before my eyes.
“Good work. The three of us will finish.”
“Brother, me too…”
“No, you protect the airship. There must be a way out.”
Jenna, who had a sad expression on her face, nodded.
“thanks.”
I gripped my sword tightly.
Tentacles were attacking me right in front of me.
[Unique skill, sign language (transcendence type) activated!]
[‘Kishasha (★★★★)’ transforms!]
Sign language once more.
Kishasha, who transformed into a transcendent type, struck the tentacle with her fist.
Tukan!
A shock wave spread from where Kishasha’s fists hit, and the entire tentacle shook like a wave.
“Kwaaang!”
Kishasha cried out and jumped over the railing.
After that, it started running on top of the swaying tentacles.
“I’m tired of waiting.”
Belquist moved toward the bow.
[Inherent skill, ‘White Dragon Pavilion’ activated!]
White horns began to sprout from Belquist’s head.
“I can only use this power once. But I can pierce the road.”
Whoops!
Belquist’s sword waved slowly.
“Go first.”
I nodded.
And jumped over the railing into the sky.
<Ha ha ha! It reminds me of the time when I had fun with the emperor!>
Immediately, the body under the influence of gravity began to fall.
I changed my stance in the air and threw the Bifrost.
Bifrost’s blade flew at lightning speed and stuck in the middle of the tentacle.
‘absorption.’
Paperweight!
Dark red lightning flashed from my left arm and Bifrost at the same time.
Then, the body affected by the magnetic force flew to the place where the sword was as if being sucked.
‘Once more.’
Stepping backwards on the tentacles, I drew my sword and threw it again.
The flying sword bent and stuck into the next tentacle.
[Current Evolution: 096 / 100]
The death messages of heroes came to mind one after another.
The fleet’s fire net had been breached. I gradually moved closer to the egg, going from tentacle to tentacle. Beside me, Kishasha was jumping on all fours.
oh oh oh
The egg groaned and gathered dozens of tentacles into one place.
And they fired at us all at once.
As if a wall was being erected, tentacles rushed in.
[Linked skill, ‘Baengnyeongjin Gongsang’ activated!]
A transparent aura passed through me from behind.
It deflected me and made its way through the tentacles.
Pupperpuppung!
Dozens of tentacles were torn apart like fireworks.
I made my way between the black blood-guzzling tentacles and stepped on top of the egg.
“…”
I look down, eyes are watching me from under my feet.
[Current Evolution: 097 / 100]
‘… … after.’
It bothers me quite a bit.
“Cut your eyes.”
hooked
I thrust the blade into his eyeball.
However, the blade that passed through the shell stopped halfway through.
Bifrost, which cuts through steel, is blocked.
well, still… … .
“You hit the last one.”
I smiled.
and.
“Uracha!”
Kwajik!
Kishasha fell from the sky and pressed down on the hilt of the sword with her foot.
Ooh oh oh!
With a blinding flash, blood poured from the pierced eyes.
That moment,
[Destiny Break!]
Clink!
The field split like glass.
The mission conditions have been met, but instead of clear messages, familiar words come to mind.
It was a message displayed when entering the end of the 40th floor, which was a loop mission.
“what?”
The purple clouds that covered the sky had disappeared as if they had been washed.
“What is this?”
Jenna blinked.
Before we knew it, we were back on the deck of the Lucette.
When I turned my head, I saw three airships floating side by side.
“Didn’t you break through all of them? You pierced through the wall of miasma, pierced through the large army of monsters, and pierced through all of the tentacles to pierce the egg with a sword with the blessing of the goddess. But why…?”
Katio said with a dejected expression.
‘… … This.’
I narrowed my eyes.
Above the vast forest.
This was the place where we first embarked on our mission.
However, nothing has changed in the forest.
[Monster Legion Lv.???] X 8325
Monsters were still swarming at the bottom of the forest,
[Current Evolution: 001/100]
in the middle of the forest.
The egg was still wriggling.
“Can’t you… do this all over again?”
Katio laughed.
“Why didn’t you go back to the waiting room? Didn’t you deal with Al earlier?”
“I don’t think we have to deal with this one either.”
Belquist continued.
“Isn’t the number of monsters less than that? I guess I can rest a little.”
“No, it’s a break or something… it’s hard anymore.”
Jenna cried.
While the enemies remain the same, our situation has changed drastically.
More than half of the heroes were incapacitated due to injuries or deaths, and airships were emitting smoke everywhere.
Besides, I overused the power of Exceed and Black Dragon Blood.
At least not for this mission.
The circumstances of the other 1st party members were no different from mine.
<What should I do?>
Benik asked for my opinion via communication.
<The morale of the troops is dropping. If left as it is, it will soon become incapacitated. Even if I recover my morale, I don’t know if I’ll be able to fight properly… … .>
“It must be difficult. I probably won’t be able to fight twice.”
There are holes all over the deck.
I sat with my hips on the broken pole.
<Then do you mean to retreat?>
“I can’t retreat. Is there such a thing in a mission?”
There was no such thing as a retreat, but the timing was far too late.
<Then… … .>
“Look behind you.”
<There is nothing behind!>
no.
I murmured and took out a canteen from my belt.
When I opened the lid and took a bite, the lukewarm water spread all over my body.
‘It’s a surprise.’
You were scared knowing that you would have to wake up like this one more time.
If it did, no matter how much the country would have been hit.
<I’m glad I’m not late.>
A familiar voice rang in my ears.
A woman’s voice, soft and cozy, like a whisper.
<Thank you. Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to
all the stars
I emptied the canteen all the way.
<Now it seems that it is my turn to repay the favor.>
Chijik.
Remote communication was lost.
and.
“Listen, mercenaries!”
A huge echo spread through the forest.
“I am not rich enough to give you all money! And I am not honorable enough to give you all titles!”
The echo continued.
“But today, I will take the lives of all of you!”
Behind the Lucette.
Countless airships are covering the sky.
Each had a different appearance, flag color and pattern, but the airships stood side by side with their bows aligned.
and,
On the deck of the airship in the forefront, a woman in a silvery white dress was standing.
“The price is…”
I looked down
Plains outside the forest. Countless numbers of mercenaries are riding horses.
At the head of the cavalry, Yoshu, a young man called the mercenary king, was looking up at me.
‘That value.’
“The future of Taoni!”
Freea raised her sword.
“All assault! Wipe out all the villains who have deceived and deceived the people of the Empire!”
Woo woo.
Joshu blew a great horn.

[The ally NPC ‘Mercs of Ebony Trees’ joins the field!]

And again.
