Episode 113. What the hell are you doing?
It seemed like there were a lot of things I wanted to say, but from the beginning, Kim Cheol-joong and his party didn’t have the right to choose.
“I will.”
“If only I could go back alive, I’ll give it to you.”
“Help!”
In the end, all of them promised to pay the price of 300 million won for their lives.
Taemin, who had been watching leisurely, asked again.
“I’m sure you’ll keep that promise. I’m sure the Demon Slashers won’t lie, right?”
“I promise on my honor.”
I don’t know how much value Kim Chul-joong’s honor is worth, but this seemed to be enough.
Taemin signaled to his colleagues waiting behind him.
“Okay, I’ll get this sorted out as quickly as possible!
My body moved before my words.
Taemin quickly replenished various buffs whose durations had expired, and Lemon, who ran out almost at the same time, used a taunt skill to secure aggro from dozens of monsters around the stone chamber.
Michael’s wide-area curse that followed hit the monsters.
“Please keep the entrance to the stone chamber firmly closed!”
With a slight lag between Taemin’s remarks, Melissa’s powerful area-of-effect magic exploded on the monsters, and Rin, who squeezed between them, discharged a large amount of electricity.
Although the crown buff increases the damage of dealers by 5 times, this single attack could not end the breath of the 2nd stage wave monsters in the 12-player mode.
Mumu and Rachel, who had not yet participated in the battle, also moved quickly.
Concentrating firepower on some mixed ranged monsters, I was careful not to splash aggro on Michael or Melissa, who were weak in defense.
Meanwhile, Taemin used a protection shield on his comrades, then attacked some monsters from behind and swung his mace vigorously so that Lemon could not defend with his shield.
Even so, he gave instructions while checking the movements of the entire party.
“Mumu! Pay more attention to dodging! Shield breaks too fast!”
“Yes! Mister!”
Repeatedly attacking in a similar sequence.
When Melissa’s third arcane storm exploded, there were no more monsters left outside the stone chamber.
[Caution! Commander monsters have appeared.]
While Taemin and his party were cleaning the outside, the demon slash and his party seemed to have cleaned up the monsters inside the stone chamber, so the second wave command and monsters appeared right away.
“We don’t have time to rest. Don’t stay in the stone chamber. Get behind us quickly!”
His tone was polite, but half commanding.
However, no one in Demon Slash expressed dissatisfaction because of the situation.
I immediately moved the location.
Commander monsters also appear at random locations, so I had to find them from this side first to save time.
“From the 3rd wave, I will wait in the center again.”
I moved as if I was running in pitch-black darkness.
“Come! Lemon!”
“Okay!”
Fortunately, the second commander monster was also a type of Skeleton Knight, just like the first one.
It was noticeably stronger than the 1st level, but it was easy for a tank to tank, and it was easy to attack while holding back as it almost didn’t run amok.
It was literally an instant to defeat Kim Cheol-joong and his party without adding a hand.
“The next 3 stages will be more powerful, so stick close to that wall and don’t drag it as much as possible. You don’t have to deal damage at all. Even if you get hit, you won’t be able to heal. So be prepared to eat the potion, and make sure to check the remaining amount. “
“That, that’s right…”
Kim Chul-joong and his party’s faces were filled with tension and astonishment.
That’s what surprised me.
Taemin and his party’s fighting speed far exceeded their imagination.
Even if he clumsily tried to join, it didn’t seem like it would be of much help.
‘It’s not just a matter of hidden buffs.’
He had just heard that Taemin and his party had received a hidden buff while summoning Nightmare, but Kim Cheoljoong could not understand that alone.
‘The priest’s blessing on top of the hidden buff, plus the cooking buff, must have given it that kind of firepower. All of the buffs are overlapping, creating tremendous synergy. The curse magician’s debuff is also effective…’
Unlike his personality, he was excellent at recognizing talented people.
He calmly analyzed the results of his observations and was in shock one after another.
‘Sacrifice is a holy combination of blessings… Is that why you can survive without a main healer?’
It was a crazy combination I had never heard of.
Realizing that Taemin wasn’t the main healer belatedly and being astonished for a while, I felt a thrill all over my body seeing him working so hard with an unexpected party composition.
‘And above all…’
Kim Chul-joong’s gaze was fixed on a man.
‘What the hell…?’
The person who created a sensation with a ridiculous buff dish is standing in front of your eyes.
‘Did we get too conceited and narrow our vision?’
I’m not surprised by the man’s ridiculous buff dish that I’ve heard rumors about.
A person who is neither a tank nor a main healer serves as the party leader, but there is nothing wrong with any corner.
‘Not just that. His personal ability is also crazy.’
Didn’t he calmly evade the nightmare dungeon’s hidden boss attack that people fear, as well as parrying with the body of a priest without proper skills?
Where is that?
After eavesdropping on the conversation at the party, it seemed that the cook had made all the plans for now.
Not only summoning the completely unknown hidden boss of the catacombs, but also how to receive the hidden buff, and intentionally raising the difficulty of the dungeon by sacrificing the mid-boss all started in that man’s head.
‘What the hell are you doing?’
Equipped with intelligence as well as physical?
Is there a hidden piece in the game that others don’t know about?
Not only do you have the leadership skills, but you also say that you are lucky?
Thousands of thoughts passed through Kim Chul-joong’s head.
However, in the end, the conclusion came down to one thing.
‘I have to get it. No matter what the cost.’
Whatever the identity of the man standing in front of you.
In order to return to Earth, you must make it your own person.
‘When I return to Felon, I’ll have a drink with Daesan after a long time.’
It is not the time to be greedy alone.
He must mobilize all his abilities and all the means of the huge guild called Demon Slash.
Kim Chul-joong was just quietly and silently organizing the plan for how he should move in the future.
The fear that I might die here is already gone.
If I grow up, I will definitely do it.
No matter how bad the situation is right now, I will definitely bring myself to Fallon alive.
And I will take the promised 300 million won.
‘This is getting interesting…’

[A monster has appeared.]
Just started the fourth wave.
The random buffs that appeared after the second wave were all health recovery and all status ailments canceling buffs.
It was a very one-time reward that was really useless for the battle that followed.
‘At least it’s not a debuff.’
And the buff received after clearing the third wave that just happened is Luck + 500 again.
It was the same as the one I received during the first wave.
Thanks to that, the luck of all our party members has increased by 1000.
‘It’s great to have this buff when hunting the Catacombs final boss or the Nightmare of Rest…’
Unfortunately, the crown buff will disappear like a dream in the next 12 minutes.
‘I’ll have to attack the boss next time. I didn’t have a plan from the beginning.’
It takes too long to deal with Nightmare of Rest without the crown buff in the first place.
If I was going to hunt him, I wouldn’t have increased the difficulty of the dungeon by feeding Jungbo for nothing.
The standard is to clear the dungeon as soon as possible and deal with it while the crown buff remains.
No matter how good the party’s firepower is now, its blood pain is beyond imagination.
“Come!”
Now I don’t have time to think about such useless thoughts.
First of all, we need to solve the problems that are in front of us.
12 Minutes left for the buff.
‘It’s going to be close.’
I don’t know about level 4, but I wonder if the buff time up to level 5 is sufficient.
That was the key to the future.
‘Is it down to luck?’
The problem was the type of reinforced monsters that appeared randomly and the commander monster that appeared at the end of the wave.
If strong and persistent guys came out, a real crisis could come at the end of the day.
If the buff ends in the middle, you have to hunt the strongest and most difficult level 5 monsters with 1/5 damage.
‘Couldn’t it be that only the strange ones are summoned after raising the luck by 1000?’
Things that went well today seemed to be getting tangled up after the demon slash gang appeared, so I was worried.
Sure enough.
“Lemon! It’s an explosive type! Moo-moo-do stop dealing and get back! Rachel, please!”
“No, of course.”
An exploding guy appeared from the beginning.
Rachel fired arrows at him from a distance, but the reinforced ghoul’s entire body, which had an exploding modifier, swelled slowly regardless.
Depending on the monster’s remaining HP, the explosion radius and damage are determined.
Blood should be shed as much as possible.
“From here on, the explosion damage doubles, so you have to pay more attention! Especially Mumu.”
“Yes. I’m sorry. It was dark and I couldn’t see it well.”
“Deal is important, but safety comes first.”
Fortunately, it was a slow ghoul, so it wasn’t too difficult to keep my distance from him.
Quaang!
He exploded and disappeared alone in an empty place.
In the aftermath, filthy debris was flying everywhere and everyone had to watch the hideous sight, but there was no time for leisurely appreciation.
“There’s a skeleton archer on the other side!”
“Mumu, hurry up with that guy!”
“Yes!”
“Don’t pay attention to this side of the lemon, drive the rest! Prepare the Melissa wide area!”
“Yes!”
Meanwhile, other monsters were constantly approaching from both sides of the aisle.
Now, I couldn’t find the same composure as before in any of the party members.
And even while doing this, the time remaining for the crown buff was rapidly decreasing.
