I Am the Only Non-Returner - Chapter 158
158 – Melee
Thousands of troops recovering behind brothers Tankranku and Hind cheered all at once, and Kipenical, who saw this, worked diligently with Omangseong’s men. Moved to the battlefield.
“This is the beginning!! Everyone, don’t relax!! Stay as close to the shelter buff range as possible, and as you have received permission from Eun-gyeon’s teammate who just came out from inside, any seriously injured personnel should go into the shelter and go to the saint. !!”
After completing the instructions, Keepenical’s gaze turned to Eun-gyeon in the front.
The dog fiercely raised her magical claws and engaged in close combat with the seventeen top level searchers.
Took! Wow!!
Of course, the power of the Tuxedo Monsters was not enough to win with a handicap of 17 to 1. But even so, Gyeon did not feel much pressure.
‘These things… I feel like a gamer who got to the rank just because of his talent. He is very rough and clumsy when it comes to using his power. It has an incredibly diverse range of characteristics, but only a few are actually used…’
Eun-gyeon, who was elegantly avoiding their attacks with a box-fighting technique, suddenly noticed that there was a thin line running behind their backs.
‘That’s it. If you follow that line, you’ll reach a guy called the Watchman.’
But he didn’t bother to cut off their line, nor did he have any intention of pursuing them and meeting them in advance. He’s the one who will find it on his own anyway, so there’s no need for him to exert any effort.
Nevertheless, the enemies were also regaining their composure, so we could not waste time.
Wooow-
Because tuxedos were constantly being added from the huge crack behind the enemies.
“Hey Keypenical!! What on earth happened to these things?”
Among the seekers, a bear beast as big as Tankranku questioned in a disgruntled tone.
“I’ve never heard of so many top-level investigators!! Isn’t your intelligence power only at this level? It’s very disappointing, unlike how you always expressed confidence in the level and quality of your intelligence agents. .”
The bear beast seemed very unhappy that his calculations had gone completely wrong.
Tankranku had the same feeling about that part, so he couldn’t really cover it, and the same goes for Keypenical.
“I’m sorry!! Absolute lack of information collection!! I admit it!!”
Of course, Kipenical was not responsible at all, but in the current situation, it was best to have at least one seeker participate in the defense, so I couldn’t do anything even if it was unfair.
A tuxedo monster that weighs over 100. Even if it was a close number, I had never calculated it by assuming it.
Those weird tuxedo guys were the ones who collected all the good traits and equipment from all over the world, studied them, and made them their own.
Clumsily, it was said that there was no answer in a head-to-head fight. Plus, they even have the ridiculous ability to turn back time, so it actually took an entire year to catch just one of them.
The most ideal way is to trap it in a space from which it can never escape, but the one that succeeded with it hundreds of years ago was able to escape, although I don’t know what method it used.
“What will happen…”
The dog must have used that ideal method. Whether it would have been possible to permanently isolate them was something that would only be known as time passed.
And slowly, players who had cleared the game within the shelter began to appear. One rode a huge skeletonized four-legged monster, one was an archer, and the other was a melee warrior with a great sword.
Finally, a very young-looking boy with small horns came out. As soon as he came out, he stretched out his hands forward, created a small instrument, and started playing.
‘I need to show off my power to the maximum from the beginning!!’
For Eun-cheol, who was dreaming of becoming the Great Demon King, this place was like his debut stage.
The stage itself was very great. Now, hundreds of thousands of jellyfish-shaped monsters were attacking the shelter, and the boss-level monsters dressed in stylish tuxedos were increasing in number to the point that they could not handle it.
‘I will become the ruler of the battlefield!!’
A strange, unknown tone began to resonate around Euncheol, and soon something miraculous happened.
This is because while attacking the shelter, the explorers suddenly turned in the opposite direction and started attacking their colleagues.
– What, what, why are they like that?!
– This is a performance by Kdush, the Demon King of the Abyss. But there’s no way it would work against explorers? How can the same ability work on those who even defeated K’dush?!
“Go!! You’re comparing me to a guy like Kdush!!”
The people receiving treatment inside the shelter whispered and watched Euncheol suddenly running wild like a crazy person.
However, after seeing the number of monsters mesmerized by the performance quickly exceed a thousand, the soldiers at least had no doubt that the abilities of the little horned boy were real.
And 30 meters ahead of Euncheol, Hong Seol and Kim Hyun Ah teamed up to quietly block the advance of the searchers.
“Ah, these things are really stupid!! When you actually face them, you really seem like an asshole, right? It feels like your body is splitting into dozens or hundreds of pieces!!”
As the clock repeatedly went back as many times as the number of explorers was cut off, I kept feeling nauseous and dizzy as if I had spun hundreds of times in place. A dangerous situation that could easily melt your brain.
“Huuuk-huuuk-“
Seogeuk- Seogeo-keuk-!!
But even in that environment, Kim Hyun-ah only thought about the sword. And if you concentrate like that, at some point, all your worries and concerns will disappear and only you and your enemy will remain.
‘I wish I could fight like this forever.’
How long did he fight like a crazy person? When Hong Seol was already gone and was killing the investigators alone, someone sat down next to Kim Hyun-ah and lightly tapped her on the head.
“Ugh?! Who, who?”
“It’s good to focus only on cutting, but you shouldn’t be eaten by the sword. Don’t forget that you must be the master.”
The woman in uniform, who casually said something profound, soon disappeared from Hyuna Kim’s sight. Hyuna Kim briefly escaped from her self-destructive situation and cleared her throat as she caught her breath.
“··· I almost got into big trouble. But who is that person?”
Kim Hyun-ah, who lost her attention for a moment because her movements were unusual as she ran quickly and moved to the front line, came back to her senses as the jellyfish-like monsters frantically swung their tentacles. He prepared and devoted himself to her defense.
Pew pew pew pew pew ㅡ!!
Hong Seol, who had become anxious after seeing her Kim Hyun-ah fussing around, was able to calm down again when she saw someone coming to calm her down.
“Arrow of Seorya!!”
As the description explains, the arrows that escaped Hong Seol’s bowstring had destructive power, as if each shot was really pushing the energy of the sun.
In addition, the faster rate of fire along with increased strength and agility was ideal for keeping in check the low-level searchers that were swarming around.
In particular, the flames that had caught fire did not go out easily and continued to spread, until now they were engulfing my son-in-law as if there were a huge forest fire.
Seeek ㅡ!!
And there was a huge four-legged monster in the shape of a skull moving through the flames, it was Lingling’s black panther.
The thing that made up the guy was only bones, but the dark magical power surrounding it made it look like sturdy leather.
Kror Hill ㅡ !!
“Black!! Let’s focus on the guys in the gray tuxedos!! If we can make just one guy on our side, this fight. Maybe we can make it ours!!”
The black leopard called ‘Black’ nodded his head sharply and quickly moved forward and disappeared.
And inside the shelter, many people, including Eun-chae and In-soon, were helping the injured and launching attacks in synchronization with the magic-filled spheres.
The speed at which magic power was built up within the shelter was very fast, so there was really no time to rest, but even so, the team members within the shelter showed no sign of difficulty at all.
Because I was able to fully guess how dangerous the situation was for the other team members playing in the field, I couldn’t rest just because it was a little difficult.
“I can feel it from far away. The timeline is constantly shaking.”
“What we are saying right now may be repeated thousands of times!!”
As Eunchae was about to pour a potion at the soldier who escaped from the Titan, Isabella cast wide-area heal once again.
Oh oh oh –
Even unrecoverable injuries, including amputations, could be recovered as if through Isabella’s hands. In the eyes of the wounded soldiers, Isabella seemed much closer to God than the seekers.
And for those who had not been able to wash or eat properly for several days, the chef and his wife’s cooking was truly a stamina restorer more than a potion.
“This is the first time in my life I’ve ever tasted something like this!! Isn’t the food on planet Earth pretty delicious? Plus, your abilities have increased significantly, right?”
“This is my trait. Everyone, before you leave, take at least a rice ball in your mouth. So you can receive a buff.”
They said it was one by one, but the soldiers made a fuss to carry even a little more.
“Haeun~ Did Lulu go outside?”
“Ah, so he went out? He asked me to keep supplying him with magical power.”
Buuung-
Lulu accompanied all of Dragoni No. 1 To No. 18 And was in charge of the right wing of the shelter.
I had a strong desire to play an active role at the forefront, but this was because I was asked to mainly defend vulnerable points against Lingling and Lulu, who had the best mobility.
And when I got there, it was really a mess. What was especially serious was that the seekers were at odds with each other, making defense even more difficult.
‘Pitiful things, tsk tsk-‘
As various races are mixed together, it may be natural in a way, but in a situation where everyone could be destroyed if they are careful, the gods are acting immaturely, so in the eyes of the spirit Lulu, who is aloof from worldly affairs, they are not at all satisfied. It was.
But Lulu suppressed his discomfort and focused only on defense. The defense was surprisingly easy, firstly because the enemy’s main troops were concentrated in the center, and secondly because of the golems placed on both wings.
Unbecoming of their enormous stature, these golems did not focus solely on defense, but when given the opportunity, they made up for their lack of attack power by joining in with the explorers.
However, after they exploded together, the golem materialized again in its original location like a lie, which was probably thanks to Eun-gyeon’s ability.
‘A monster-like guy.’
The human, who had grown explosively starting from stage 40, was now reborn as a divine being with the largest magical power among those on this battlefield.
‘Anyway, I think I’ll be the only one here, but I’m worried about the front line area.’
Lulu looked towards the front where huge shock waves were continuously exploding.
“Dog!! I went to the left wing, but that’s where the Palaizmoon dragons were encamped, so I came back here!!”
“Really? I told you to take care of it yourself, but did you go there to protect your weak points?”
“Anyway, I can fight here with you, right?”
“That’s right. Instead, don’t get too forward. I don’t know what characteristics they will use.”
“Okay!! I was dragged in by quite a few low-level explorers on the way!!”
“Huh? Can I use those as well with necromancer abilities?”
“Yes!! I heard it works?”
“Amazing…”
“hehehehe… Really? Should I do something?”
The dog nodded his head deeply and was lost in thought.
