#81
81. Mission Type, Subjugation (1)
and that evening,
Amkena has logged in.
[Party 1, gather at the plaza on the 1st floor!]
Issel’s voice echoed.
I closed the papers and got up from my seat. I searched all the information I could find. Now there was only practice left. After kicking the sword and shield placed on one side of the wall, I left the room. Across the hall, Jenna and Iolka were walking out. I joined two people.
[Gather 2 parties! Oh, and 3 parties too! From now on, everyone called will gather on the first floor. Han, Xena, Iolka, Belquist… … .]
The list of participants was being called.
Go down to the square on the first floor. In front of the space-time gap, more than 10 heroes were already buzzing. Belquist and Nerissa, who found me, approached. I said with a light laugh.
“Are you ready?”
“whenever.”
“Of course.”
The two answers are unwavering.
It doesn’t seem different than usual. The same goes for Jenna and Iolka. I was nervous enough to go through the boss stage several times, but it wasn’t enough to affect the actual battle.
‘Another party… … .’
Up to 2 parties are allowed.
However, the 3rd party was looking at Issel anxiously.
“Don’t be nervous. You can live as long as you stay alert. If you’re lucky, you might not be able to participate.”
Edith tapped a girl on the shoulder.
He was a prosecutor belonging to the 3rd party. Her girl nodded slightly.
A total of 15 people gathered on the first floor.
I pulled the dagger from the sheath of my belt. The blade of the dagger was smeared with a dark blue liquid. It was a deadly poison made by Nerissa.
“This time we’ll probably have a boss fight.”
“A boss battle?”
“Yeah. It’s a bit different from the mission we did. You can break it if you take care of one guy.”
That one guy might be the problem.
I swallowed the afterword.
“Anyway, I don’t know what kind of enemy will come out. Keep your mind straight.”
The four nodded.
It is expected that the Balaur will appear. But he is a unique monster. There is a high probability that they are different from the common dragons. I couldn’t have predicted it.
Edith is also talking to the party members.
I have already given you all the information I have. It will take care of itself even if you do not manage it separately.
[Did everyone get together?]
Issel looked around at the members of the three parties in turn and placed both hands on his waist.
[I’ll start distributing supplies. We’ll leave right after the distribution is over. keep your mind straight Listen carefully to what Han has to say!]
“You’re croaking quite a bit. Did you put some honey on that fairy?”
Belqist came out and looked at Isel and smirked.
I laughed without replying.
‘Isel, when you come back, you’ll have a good night’s sleep.’
Bringing the potion was also completed safely.
2 per person per party. The rest of the party is 1 per person.
‘It started.’
At the top of the field of view, Amkena’s control panel moved.
The Competition tab was clicked and the stage window was displayed. As soon as Amkena touched the 20th floor, a warning message appeared.
[※caution!]
[This mission is a medium-sized mission requiring three parties. If the party is not enough, use paid summons or free summons to recruit heroes!]
[This mission can sortie by dividing the advance party and the second party. The process varies depending on the Master’s choice, so make your decision carefully!]
[Tips/Secondary units can go out when the advance team achieves certain conditions or after a certain amount of time.]
As expected, the 20th floor was a medium-large mission requiring three parties.
However, it was beyond speculation that the advance and follow-up groups were divided. I briefly recalled the types of missions with these conditions. My back hurt a bit.
[Select ‘Party 1’ according to the selection. Do you agree?]
[Yes / No]
[Open, the opening of time and space!]
rattle.
The gate in front of the plaza was wide open.
The mirror on the left shimmered faintly. After taking a deep breath, Issel blocked Edith from entering first.
[stop! you don’t go in This mission starts with the 1st party.]
“What is that?”
“It means we’ll go first. If you wait, the Master will open the door for you. You can follow us then.”
clap.
I firmly fixed the scabbard on my belt and walked towards the gap in time and space.
Four people followed me. I whispered as I passed Edith.
“Perhaps the second team is important for this mission. Please.”
“……okay.”
Edith put on a disgruntled expression for a moment, but then she let go and stepped back.
“Wait here until Master calls, right?”
“okay.”
“I wanted to fight with you.”
“It will happen sooner or later.”
I said as I entered the space-time gap.
“Eutcha!”
Finally, as Jenna stepped in, the gate closed with a heavy sound.
The preparations are over.
The four of them had completed my order perfectly.
Belquist raised her overall power, including weapon skills, to the next level, and Jenna learned the longbow skill that gives destructive power to arrows. Getting her third weapon was a bonus. Behind Zena’s back was a short bow and a large bow.
Iolka also learned the multi-chanting skill, albeit belatedly.
Iolka assured me that even though she wasn’t sure that she had passed level 4, it would be different than before. In addition, with his focus, sparring, he has fully mastered his personal survival skills. Even if we don’t protect it, we’ll be able to hold out a little from the enemy.
“Why are you so quiet. Oppa, do you have anything to say? Do it this way or that way.”
“As usual.”
“Ah, trivial.”
I laughed at Jenna’s grumbling complaint.
Unlike the 15th floor, there is nothing to brief. You will know what missions you will encounter when you enter. Instructions should be given according to the situation. The light in the left mirror deepened.
[The main dungeon, the current challenge floor is the 20th floor.]
[The door opens in 10 seconds. Get ready!]
[The mission is being recorded. Play history will be preserved.]
sereung.
I drew my sword from its scabbard.
And he lowered his voice.
“As I said before, do as you normally do. You don’t have to be scared.”
“Obvious words.”
Nerissa smiled.
When the light dissipated, we were on the 20th floor stage.
‘The last floor of the labyrinth.’
I looked around.
The large hall at the entrance from the 16th to the 19th floors had disappeared.
There was just a long, high hallway leading ahead.
“Here you are.”
Nerissa touched the triple sword at her waist.
His eyes are on the wall of the hallway. I also followed her gaze. Dozens of paintings hung side by side on the walls in the hallway. In each frame made of gold, a man and a woman in fancy clothes stood out.
“It looks like a very expensive painting.”
“These are portraits of past family heads and wives.”
Nerissa responded to Jenna.
Jenna looked at Nerissa in bewilderment, but then shook her head. I said briefly.
“I didn’t come to watch. Let’s go.”
The large is quickly equipped.
I took the lead and walked. Luxurious carpet stepped on my feet every time I walked.
“Ugh, kekeheuk!”
In every corner of the hallway, people are lying face down and moaning.
All of them were different in gender, clothing, and age, but if there was one thing in common, they all vomited black blood.
I saw such an NPC not only here, but from the 16th floor to the 19th floor, many times while passing through the labyrinth. At first, Jenna and Iolka, who hated them, passed them with a calm expression on their faces.
‘There were similar guys among the soldiers.’
Their blood was a muddy red mixed with black light.
At first glance, it looked like normal blood, but a closer look revealed it. I didn’t bother to inform the members of this fact. If you pay attention to things you don’t need, your concentration will drop.
The end of the hallway, which seemed to never end, came to an end.
I stood in front of the huge door and said.
“The mission begins when you enter this door.”
Four eyes focused on me.
“Iolka, prepare your magic as soon as you enter. Zena, you shoot arrows into your longbow. Belquist and Nerissa stand by with me. After that, act according to the situation.”
“all right!”
“yes.”
“good.”
bang!
I kicked the gate with all my might.
Part of the door was hollowed out and a piece of wood flew out.
“let’s go.”
I surrendered myself to the darkness spreading beyond the door.
A winding darkness approached and enveloped the members of the first party, including me.
and,
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
A loud siren sounded.
The target has been updated along with a 3-stage warning message that informs you of a high-difficulty mission.
[Floor 20.]
[Mission Type – Subjugation]
[Goal – Destroy the enemy!]
I looked around.
The place beyond the door was a strange place that had nothing to do with the mansion.
‘… … .’
There was fine sand on the floor.
Behind it is a high wall several meters high. The rampart stretched out and surrounded us in a circle. There were stairs leading to the castle wall, but sure enough, there was a transparent wall.
“I’m in a strange place again.”
Jenna narrowed her brows while holding an arrow in her longbow.
The protests pulled to the limit were ready to shoot arrows at any time.
【La Gran Cedus.】
Iolka immediately began chanting.
I couldn’t find the enemy, but I follow my instructions.
It was a natural decision.
it’s coming out now
“Ha ha ha…”
Laughter was heard from somewhere.
I looked at the source of the sound. A man in a splendid red coat is staring at us. Black veins sprouted from the man’s eyes. A groaning voice escaped from the man’s mouth.
“Because of you…!”
“launch!”
Kwajik!
An arrow from a longbow pierced the man.
The power of arrows with added skills is more than a fair amount of bullets. The left side of the man’s torso was torn to shreds, and black blood splattered. Then, a roaring flame enveloped the man’s entire body. and,
【Explode!】
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam!
Flames exploded.
Sand blasted from the impact rose high into the sky and scattered around. The sand dust hovered in the air and created a temporary fog.
“Don’t stop two of them. Keep shooting. I to the left. Belquist and Nerissa to the right. They attack from the left and the right at the same time.”
“I want this. You don’t care.”
Belquist smirked and fell to the right. Nerissa caught up next to him.
I put my sword in front and stepped to the left. At the same time, lower the lower body and use the recoil to lunge forward. Red eyes flashed in the mist of sand.
“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
A roar that shook the air.
The body of the enemy was revealed through the scattered dust.
[Master, a unique monster has appeared!]
[Tips/Sometimes there are rare monsters that only exist in one instance. Please note.]
It’s a useless tip.
[Danger!]
[Half-Black Dragon Halgiraf Lv.42]
Size is about 5 m.
Its body is similar to that of a lizard, and it has wings and a tail. Black glossy scales covered the whole body. Red pupils bent vertically caught my figure.
bang!
The arrow that cut through the air was lodged in the black dragon’s body.
The arrow, which penetrated through the cracks in the scales, soon lost its power and fell powerlessly.
[This monster is physically immune!]
“…?”
Iolka’s magic followed.
The flames with telekinesis corrections wrapped around the black dragon’s body and exploded all at once.
[This monster is immune to magic!]
A muffled moan escaped the man’s mouth.
I frowned and stepped. Then, he struck the sword with all his might on the neck of the outstretched man.
[This monster is physically immune!]
bang!
Blue sparks rose and the blade ricocheted off.
Belquist, on the other side, was in the same situation. The tip of Belquist’s sword, aiming for the gap in the scales, slipped in vain.
[This monster is physically immune!]
The black dragon rolled its body into a ball.
“Get away from him!”
I put my sword away and quickly got out.
The folded body of the black dragon unfolded. Hundreds of sharp, hard scales shot out in all directions.
‘This bastard… … !’
Papa papak!
The scales stuck mercilessly into the nearby sand.
As I stepped back, I slashed the scales with my sword and blocked them with my shield.
“Kuk!”
[‘Nerissa (★★)’ has become bleeding. Stamina decreases for a certain period of time.]
I looked across.
Blood was flowing from Nerissa’s left forearm. Belquist was resistant to throwing, and Jenna and Iolka were far apart, but conditions were not good for Nerissa.
“It’s okay. It’s nothing.”
Nerissa quickly drew out the potion and sprayed it on the affected area.
The black dragon was crouching on the spot, staring at us.
bang!
Jenna’s arrow pierced her red eyes.
[This monster is physically immune!]
The thick arrows of the longbow slid down into the sand.
“Well, what is that? It doesn’t seem to work!”
Jenna opened her mouth.
I moved towards Iolka and Jenna.
“Let’s gather together.”
All of the party 1 gathered in one place.
Belquist said with a frown. His eyes were on him.
“Swords don’t work, arrows don’t work. Magic doesn’t seem to work either. Are the scales hard?”
“It’s not hard. It just doesn’t work.”
“What do you mean?”
“It means that no matter how much you attack, it’s useless.”
Ignores any attack if it has physical properties.
That’s immunity. It was the same with magic.
“What, that’s it! There’s no way!”
“We’ll talk about it later.”
Chareung!
50 cm long claws sprouted from both of the black dragon’s hands.
Iolka’s complexion turned white.
“Kuaaaaa!”
Like a snake crawling on the floor.
The black dragon approached, digging through the sand with its claws.
