Episode 229 Week 13 Strategy Battle (2)
Invincible.
It is a trait that provides immunity to various poisons.
As it is a C-rank, it can be pierced by rare or high-grade poisons, but it can easily block basic plant poisons that appear in this F-rank dungeon.
“But please be careful not to get scratched.”
“As long as it doesn’t become an addiction.”
Go Hyun-woo nodded his head.
You don’t have to worry about poison, but you can still take damage from other types of attacks, such as being stabbed by thorns or physically hit.
Also, there is a fairly strict condition of 95% average stamina, so you can’t let your guard down completely.
“Then, shall we go find the crystal now?”
To recharge crystals, you must first obtain a crystal that is located somewhere in the dungeon.
I spoke to the calligrapher in a polite tone.
“Bokdeungi, please give me directions.”
“… … .”
Then the calligrapher looked to the left, then to the right, then turned around and looked behind him.
And then he slowly raised his hand and pointed in a direction.
“excuse me.”
“Very good. Go Hyun-woo is leaving.”
“Well, I’ll be back.”
Neither Go Hyun-woo nor I had any doubts about Bok-deung-i’s ‘skill’ because we knew about it.
-Whew—
The wind enveloped Ko Hyun-woo as he left at a quick pace.
A wind barrier was put up.
“Where else would be good?”
The calligrapher tilted his head at my question, then pointed in a different direction this time.
“excuse me.”
“Let’s go, then.”
“depart.”
There are a total of two crystals to recover and recharge.
I sent one to Go Hyun-woo, so the two of us will go get the other one.
So I took the lead and the calligrapher followed at a similar pace.
As I walked along the botanical garden tour course, a crystal came into view along Bokdeungi’s dotted line.
When you leave it to a calligrapher to use intuition or luck, it often works out well.
The only problem was the crystal’s location.
An abnormally large Venus flytrap was gaping open, with the crystal sitting in its center.
When the calligrapher looked at me, I demonstrated with hand gestures.
“Snap, snap. It’s that easy, right?”
All you have to do is quickly put your hand in, grab the crystal, and then quickly pull it out again.
The calligrapher stared at the flytrap for a few seconds and then put his hand back in.
“Wow.”
– Tub.
The flytrap closed at a terrifying speed, biting the calligrapher’s arm.
[100% calligrapher]
[99% of calligraphers]
“……help.”
“I told you to just pull it out.”
“Don’t get out.”
“Of course it won’t fall off now.”
If you get caught and then suddenly escape, wouldn’t that be hell on earth?
[98% of calligraphers]
“……help.”
I would have liked to tease him a little more, but I was a little more exhausted, so I decided to stop helping him here.
As I forcefully opened the closed flytrap to the sides, the calligrapher was able to pull out the arms and crystal that had been caught.
“… … .”
A calligrapher who stares at the Parisian hell as if he were looking at a rival.
He slowly brought his hand closer as if he was going to try again, but I grabbed his hand and stopped him.
“Let’s go now. There’s no time.”
“huh…….”
Since Go Hyun-woo was probably coming back after retrieving the crystal, there was no more time to waste.
‘I feel like I’ll fail again if I try again.’
Then you’ll just be wasting more of your precious stamina.
I grabbed the calligrapher who still had some lingering feelings and started walking back the way I came.
The way back became a little more difficult, as plant-like monsters that had been swaying in the distance began to gather.
A walking candy cane, or something like a bean sprout.
The difference is that its head is made of a large flower bud instead of a candy cane, and its body is supported by a thick plant stem instead of a stick.
-Whew—
From this point on, I put on the wind barrier and increased my speed a little more.
The calligrapher also took out his magic gun, but I stopped him.
“Let’s go back first.”
“check.”
The battle is best fought by returning to the greenhouse and taking up positions near the sanctuary.
Because the main goal is to charge the crystal.
So we ignored them and just focused on running.
– Ting,
Occasionally something would hit the barrier and bounce off, and judging by the long, thin projectiles, they appeared to be poisonous stingers.
– Shoooooo—
Also, a puff of acrid smoke suddenly rose from the road ahead, but I didn’t avoid it and charged straight ahead.
This also cannot penetrate the barrier, and even if it does, it is blocked by the White Poison Invincibility.
As I continued to run without stopping, a greenhouse came into view.
[Crystal 8%]
Crystal charging has already begun.
As I approached the center of the greenhouse, a beam of light extending from the sanctuary was connected to Koh Hyun-woo’s crystal.
“You two are here too.”
“You came quickly.”
“Thanks to you, I was able to find it quickly.”
Go Hyun-woo giving the ball to Bok-deung-i.
But soon he pulls out his golden sorcerer’s sword and looks behind him.
Because the bean sprout monsters were invading.
They are coming in single file along the narrow alleys as I intended.
I gave instructions to Koh Hyun-woo.
“For now, let’s focus on defense. Let’s have the calligraphers take them all.”
“Okay.”
Go Hyun-woo replied coolly that he would do so.
I know you’re curious as to why, but we can talk about it later.
After wrapping a gust of wind around the sorcerer’s sword, he swings it diagonally at the one charging in from the front.
– Phew!
There was a sound of a club being hit, and the giant bean sprout was thrown backwards, tangled with the others.
And then the calligrapher’s magic bullets poured out there.
– Doo doo doo doo!
The magic bullet exploded as soon as it hit the target, cleanly annihilating the entangled entities.
“… … .”
A calligrapher who turns the gun right away.
Intercept those approaching from another route.
– Doo doo doo!
‘After all, hunting must be done in a good spot.’
You don’t have to rush, the monsters will gather in a line on their own, so you just need to block a few of the paths in turn to finish the defense.
It couldn’t be more comfortable.
It is especially the optimal environment for calligraphers to complete quests.
[Sub Quest – Marksmanship]
▷Objective: Kill enemies (23/100)
Consecutive Kills (23/30)
Headshot (9/15)
▷Reward: Markmanship
While enemy kills and headshots are completed automatically by killing many enemies, ‘streak kills’ are relatively difficult.
This is because if even one bullet misses, the count is reset and starts over from 1.
With the calligrapher’s shooting skills, he could have easily achieved 30 consecutive kills in other dungeons, but it’s better to take it easy and be sure.
– Doo doo doo!
▷Objective: Kill enemies (34/100)
Consecutive Kills (30/30) (Complete)
Headshot (15/15) (Completed)
‘That gets the tricky part out of the way.’
[Crystal 73%]
The crystal was also being charged continuously.
As they approached, they were blocked by Go Hyun-woo and intercepted by Seo Ye-in, so the bean sprout monsters seemed to be trying to change their attack method.
‘It’s about time for the next pattern to come out.’
– Whirlwind!
He spins something around like a cowboy and throws it, and a large chunk that looks like a palm tree fruit flies in.
The mass exploded, sending out a cloud of purple pollen.
I said it calmly, even though it was clear that it would be full of poison.
“What are we?”
“The one who is invincible from all poison.”
There’s no way such a cheap poison would work.
Still, I didn’t like having my vision obstructed, so I used Windforce to blow away the poison powder.
[Crystal 100%]
– Paaaaat!
Soon, Go Hyun-woo’s crystal was fully charged, and the beam of light emanating from the sanctuary briefly stopped and connected to the calligrapher’s crystal.
The charge gauge slowly fills up.
[Crystal 1%]
[Crystal 2%]
– Whirlwind!
Giant bean sprouts that continue to attack from a distance.
It seems he didn’t notice that the poison powder wasn’t working.
Of course, in addition to the poisonous powder berries, there were also those that threw cacti with sharp spines or shot thin poisonous stingers.
Either way, it was the same in that they were blocked by the wind barrier.
The value raised to C+ rank is sufficient.
– Doo doo doo!
A calligrapher who counterattacks those types of people without fail.
Go Hyun-woo was in charge of the driving. I was in charge of the defense, and the poisonous smoke that occasionally rose was nullified by Baek-poison-invulnerability, so I could focus on attacking without worrying about anything else.
– Doo doo doo doo!
But at some point, I felt like the magic bullet had suddenly become stronger.
So much so that Go Hyun-woo was startled and turned around.
I also said a word to the calligrapher.
“It’s over?”
“It’s over.”
[Marksmanship] was acquired by completing a sub-quest.
Since each long-range skill and trait would have a bonus, the overall destructive power was bound to jump.
The calligrapher’s firepower has become even stronger.
Moreover, from then on, Go Hyun-woo actively went on the offensive without having to drive away the monsters.
Not long after that,
[Crystal 100%]
– Paaaaat!
The second crystal has been fully charged.
The ceaseless onslaught of bean sprout monsters stopped as if it were a lie, and the greenhouse shook as if an earthquake had occurred, with the exit opening its mouth.
Soon, the replay correction ball that had been placed on one side began scoring.
[Kim Ho 100%]
[98% of calligraphers]
[Go Hyun-woo 100%]
[Average stamina 99/100% = 792 points]
+ [Number of monsters killed: 153 = 51 points]
——————
[Total score: 843 points]
* F-class dungeon strategy 1.0x = 843pt
The three of us look at the results with satisfaction.
In the meantime, Go Hyun-woo seemed to have a question and asked Seo Ye-in.
“But Miss Seo, when did your stamina decrease?”
“Failed.”
“… … ?”
Translated, it means that he was caught trying to steal a crystal from the Parisian hell.
Go Hyun-woo is still a beginner in the language of the sloth, so it may be difficult for him to understand.
It’s not important, so let’s just move on.
[Herb Garden Random Box (F)] *2
Even though Lightning Canyon was a class F dungeon, the reward was only one box.
On the other hand, the Herb Garden is a 3-person dungeon and has a narrow terrain compared to dungeons of the same level.
If it weren’t for the White Poison Insufflation, I would have suffered because I would have been poisoned every time the bean sprout monsters threw poisonous berries.
This is why two random boxes were dropped.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Go Hyun-woo and I looked at Seo Ye-in at the same time as if we had made a promise, and Seo Ye-in nodded her chin slightly and opened two random boxes at the same time.
– Click,
[Random Rank Up] *2
This time too, it seems like it did a pretty good job for an F-class random box.
I gave one random rank up to each of Ko Hyun-woo and Seo Ye-in.
“Okay, let’s try it out one by one.”
“But, Brother Kim, you don’t get anything out of it, right?”
“So what if it’s not there?”
Anyway, I manage all the other dungeon rewards, so there’s no need to claim my share even in F-rank.
And do I really get nothing out of it? No.
[Sub Quest: 13th Week Strategy] (Complete)
▷Goal: Clear the dungeon before the attack
▷Average stamina (99/95%)
▷Reward: Stamp Coupon (C)
A reward given for completing sub-quests with the maximum achievement level.
This is a coupon that allows you to get multiple stamps.
For C-rank stamp coupons, you can collect up to 10 stamps, and when you collect 5 and 10, you can receive an ‘even more special reward’.
So how do you collect stamps?
‘You’re failing.’
To be more precise, one is accumulated each time you or a party member receives a ‘fail’ judgment on a random series item.
For example, like the future teahouse owner Mr. Shin, you can get an E-rank or lower reward from a D-rank random box.
‘Fail by using random rank up.’
So, go ahead and try to fail.
