Episode 102 Unexpected Attack (3)
There was a good reason why I chose to fight the fourth level demon.
There is also a reason why the Rodelin party should not die.
‘Hold the turn.’
Also called Endurance Quest.
If you last a certain number of turns, someone will appear and save you, or the opponent will leave the battlefield for a special reason.
It’s a common and worn-out cliché, but to me now, it’s a great cliché.
[Hidden Quest]
-Defeat the 4th level demon, ‘Beness of the Heat Wave’.
Reward: [Demon Blood], 300 exp, 30 gold
Penalty: Death
As expected, the hidden quest window appeared.
Let’s see. The reward is good, the penalty is okay(?), and… … .
“… … .”
I rubbed my eyes. There must be something wrong with my eyes.
Anyway, maybe it’s because my eyes are narrowed, but there are a lot of problems. ha ha ha!
however.
-Yes~ I can’t hold on~ I have to kill him~.
It wasn’t written that way, but it was as if it was written that way.
My body was shaking. Because there was a lot of pressure.
Why did he suddenly become a manly man when he declared that he would have a fight with a fourth-level devil?
That’s right… … .
‘Wasn’t it the kind of quest you could endure!?’
It’s a quest I couldn’t even imagine.
I definitely expected a hidden quest like ‘Hold on for a few turns’ to appear.
That’s not it?
‘This is too much! No matter how unique something attracts more aggro, this is too much!’
It’s just an ending where everyone dies!
I want my common and banal quest back!!
‘… … ‘Can’t this be cancelled?’
Despite his appearance, Vineth is a very considerate person, so he might accept my apology.
“Hehe, Vines. I think you misunderstood something. That’s not what I’m saying… … .”
“… … Shut up. “I can barely control my desire to tear you to pieces right now.”
Yes, I see. Can’t cancel?
It looks like my death is already confirmed.
‘Kill that monster. ‘This is too much!’
My current level is 27. And Vines’ level is… … .
[Lv. 73]
Just by simple calculation, there is a whopping 46 levels difference.
If you consider that the higher the level, the more difficult it is to raise it, the difference will be much larger than that.
The calculation failed.
I didn’t do anything stupid.
The production team who added hidden pieces and made strange quests are crazy people.
“… … I don’t understand. “You’re picking a fight with me.”
Yeah, I don’t understand either.
“Why would the 2nd Corps risk their lives? I heard that there are more arrogant people, but… … “This is severe.”
Are you blaming me?
uh? Are you angry?
Wouldn’t this have happened if you hadn’t come in the first place?
“Hehe, didn’t I tell you to tell me if you have a favor? “That’s why I did it.”
“There are degrees of favors.”
“Once upon a time, it was said that human requests are extremely simple… … “You have single-handedly brought down the status of the devil.”
shaking.
Could it be that not even the devil could bear the assault on facts?
“I didn’t want to get involved with the 2nd Corps, but I guess I can’t help it.”
fluttering-.
Vineth, who was crouching, spread his wings.
A crocodile standing on two feet, and a pair of giant bat wings.
An unidentified magic pattern shining all over the body.
That was Vines’ true face.
fluttering-.
Vines flew into the sky.
The desire to kill me has reached here.
‘Tsk, we’ll have no choice but to fight.’
Although it is a difficult situation, I have no intention of giving up.
The reason I decided to fight Vines in the first place was because I had a strategy to succeed in holding the turn.
‘Let’s just hold on for now. Then think about what happens next.’
If it goes as I expected, a large fire will soon break out in the inverted pentagram behind Vineth.
Hwareuk-.
It’s as expected. Top right of the inverted pentagram. A green flame rose there.
‘Fourth level demon, Vines of Heatwave.’
Yes. I know the devil’s strategy.
This is because it is the devil you face when you visit the Galton region in Chapter 3.
Then why didn’t you know that Vineth was Risvelt’s familiar?
‘How do I know that if they don’t tell me?’
Vines attacks and kills humans entering the Galton region without reason.
In order to enter the Galton region, they had to kill Vines, so there were occasional fights, but in none of those cases was the name ‘Risvelt’ mentioned.
So it was natural not to know.
I just learned this from a conversation with Vines, but it is not helpful information at all in this situation.
“Zero! You’re playing with me! “I will burn it down!”
Hwareuk-.
This time, the bottom right of the reverse pentagram. A green flame rose from there.
Top right and bottom right. A total of two fireworks bloomed.
‘That’s Vineth’s magical magic.’
[Demon magic] is different for each demon, and each demon has its own unique characteristics.
In the case of Vines, flames bloom one by one from the inverted pentagram behind his back, with a total of 5 flames blooming.
‘The ultimate magic, Meteor Shower, activates.’
Burning meteors fall and decorate the sky. The scope is… … .
‘The entire map.’
It is an unavoidable AoE and the best magic that Vines boasts.
There is no need to worry about damage. My current level is 27 and my stamina stat is 61.
Let alone being hit by a meteor, you have the stamina to die just by grazing it.
If the Meteor Shower is activated, you can just say that you are dead.
Vines’ [Demon Art] is deceptive just by hearing it.
But it’s not invincible.
It’s a demon that can be defeated in Chapter 3 in the first place.
If you know the strategy, he’s a guy worth trying.
‘There are three important things in conquering Vines.’
First, it must be continuously interrupted.
Vineth’s [Demon Art] causes one green flame to bloom after each turn, and is activated after 5 turns.
However, if damage is inflicted in the middle, the flame is reset.
It means starting again from the first spark.
Second, you must use your 5 turns efficiently.
Attack, block or evade, and recover.
Unless it is an unavoidable situation, it is ideal to attack on the 4th turn, when 4 flames are accumulated.
Since the four flames that Vines worked hard to accumulate are reset at once, there is the advantage of using the turn efficiently, but it is more important than that.
third.
‘Extra damage.’
Each accumulated flame deals 25% additional damage.
If you successfully attack with one flame, you get 25% additional damage. If you attack with two flames, you get 50% additional damage. If you attack with three flames, you get 75% additional damage. And if you attack with three flames, you get 75% additional damage.
‘100% additional damage.’
In other words, you can inflict double damage. Of course, there were demerits as well.
If you make even the slightest mistake, Vineth’s [Demon Art] will be activated.
A field-wide magic called ‘Meteor Shower’.
With my current stamina, just brushing against it would kill me instantly.
It must be stopped.
So, originally, I would have used a strategy of attacking when there were 3 flames and dealing 75% additional damage… … .
‘I have a secret weapon.’
It’s a little risky, but it’s 100% effective if you follow my thoughts.
In the first place, when you are level 27, you are fighting the 4th rank.
This means that it is impossible to win without taking risks.
“I’ll show you my power! Fireball!”
Basic flame magic. But the power wasn’t like that.
A lump of burning rock that seemed to be about 2 meters in diameter flew towards me.
I immediately put my hand on the sword.
The first draw of the Leicester family.
One island.
Quang! Kwakwakwakkwak!!
The rock that was hit by [one flash] literally exploded.
At the same time, stone fragments flew in all directions.
Unfortunately, it did not hit Vines.
‘There is a limit to offset. I thought that if I was an A-ranked Ilseom, I might be able to hit.’
I receive a 20% increase in attack power due to the title effect of ‘Heir of the Fleur family’.
But all it does is offset it.
‘this… … ‘It won’t be easy, will it?’
Even while I was thinking, my body was moving.
I ran forward, getting hit all over my body by falling pieces of stone.
“Hehe, it’s my turn.”
He straightened his sword and took a stance.
The basics of kendo, the suspended posture.
The fourth secret of the Lucid clan.
Split the sky.
As he slashed his sword, a storm raged in the quiet sky.
Among the skills that can be used with [Imitation of God], this is the most powerful skill.
It was also the best attack machine I currently have.
but.
Spot-!
Vines was no longer there.
I avoided it.
The difference is not even a single piece of paper. I think there is a difference of about 5,000 pieces.
‘It’s probably because of the difference in stats.’
In essence, the magnificence that Grade A skills must display is enormous.
Separating the sky, mountains, and land is the most basic of all.
However, the techniques I used with [Imitation of God] do not show such majesty.
This is because the stats are hopelessly low.
‘That’s the downside of gambling on potential.’
Still, A-grade skills are A-grade. Most enemies can be defeated with this.
the problem is.
‘That’s outside the expected range, you damn developers.’
If I had known in advance that Vines would appear, I would have raised my stats accordingly.
But I didn’t know. So what?
You should get hit hard.
‘The problem is that it’s me.’
Anyway, for this reason, it was natural for Vineth to avoid my attacks.
Destructive power is also destructive, but the speed is too slow.
From Vineth’s perspective, my skills would be at the level of a turtle.
Preparation actions, casting actions, even actions at the moment of activation.
I can see everything one by one and there is no way I can avoid it.
In particular, unlike [Illumination], which has a free angle and wide range, [Sky Slash] is a technique that can only be used vertically.
It was even more strange that I couldn’t avoid it at this level.
“Tsk!”
Even though it was done for the sake of an experiment, I became irritated.
No matter how much you imitate it, it can’t be the real thing.
I had a chance to become a real one with the [Fleur Family Stream] I obtained a little while ago.
I will not use the Fleur family’s sword skills.
This is partly because of the C grade, but also because we do not yet know what effect the sword technique has or how the attack unfolds.
Not only is it not a skill I’ve seen in games, but I only vaguely know what types 3 and 5 are from my fight with Lein.
We don’t know what kind of technology will be available, but we can’t use it carelessly.
Hwareuk-.
The lower center of the inverted pentagram. A third green light burned.
Originally, I should have stopped here.
There is no guarantee that the attack will be successful when the fourth flame blooms.
But you have to be patient.
The first draw of the Leicester family.
One island.
Huh-.
This time too, Vines easily avoided it.
Even though the angle is free and the range is quite wide, it is [Ilseom].
I found out for sure with this.
My attacks don’t work on Vineth.
“Kkkkkk! “You don’t have much left to live!”
“Hehe, is that so? “How about enjoying it a little more?”
“It’s not too late to do that after you die.”
Are you saying you want to play with a corpse? It’s in bad taste.
Neither Vines nor I did anything special and entered the search battle.
OK.
Hwareuk-!
Bottom left of the reverse pentagram. A fourth green flame bloomed.
“Haha! Zero! “Pay for insulting me!”
It’s a hopeless situation.
It went according to Vineth’s plan, and soon a ‘Meteor Shower’, with meteors falling across the map, would unfold.
But this one also went according to plan.
And who.
“Did you say you would allow me to use magic arts?”
Sigh-.
As soon as I used [Open Eyes], I took out my pocket watch.
To be exact, a ‘silver flash’ shaped like a pocket watch.
When I aimed at Vines and pressed the button, a ray of mana was shot towards him.
Sigh!
“Huh!?”
Vineth trembled.
At the same time, the four green flames on the inverted pentagram began to fade.
“What is this… … !”
I’m sorry, but this turn isn’t over yet.
Because Silver Flash is an item that doesn’t require casting time.
After taking a stance with the sword raised, I used [Imitation of God].
The fourth secret of the Lucid clan.
Split the sky.
As the clouds floating in the sky parted.
Wow!
Vines’ left wing was blown off.
