Episode 12
3.
-Field bosses are literally boss monsters in the field. There is only one in each field, and the regeneration time is very irregular and the location is random, so it is very dangerous. However, there is a high probability of dropping good items, so users who have reached a certain level and are accustomed to the field see defeating the field boss as the last gateway to the next field.
Information about field bosses seen by the community was abstract.
-Field bosses appearing in each field can be checked separately, and in a specific field, several boss monsters are randomly generated, so it is good to check what is coming out and collect information.
Anyway, there was nothing difficult about the field boss.
– It’s convenient to think that the ability level is higher than +10 to +15 level based on the field.
strong.
To the extent that it is difficult to hunt with the field standard level.
So most of them are said to form or gather large-scale raids.
“The one who is going to catch the jet black bear! Off to a 30-man raid!”
This was the reason Yoo Ju-yeon turned the taxi right away.
In front of the crowded field entrance, surrounded by troublesome things, I still remember hearing this at first glance.
“Are there any seats left?”
Fortunately, even after 10 minutes had passed, the raid recruitment was not over yet.
“hello. How is your class?”
“It is a wizard.”
“uh? Maybe Pikopa… … That famous one?”
“… … Maybe right?”
The man at the raid leader, dressed in a rather plausible iron armor, looked at Yoo Ju-yeon with slightly tired eyes and soon greeted her with a bright smile.
“welcome. Twenty-six people have gathered, including users, so could you wait a little longer?”
“yes.”
Looking behind me, there were quite a few people sitting huddled together and having a conversation.
Seeing their eyes glancing in this direction, I thought I would suffer from all sorts of annoyances if I stayed there for no reason, so I headed to the other corner.
It was at a distance enough to hear the call of the raid leader.
I sat down and opened my phone.
What kind of video is circulating that makes it sound like a pico pass?
Finding the video wasn’t difficult.
It was posted on the main community bulletin board after receiving many recommendations.
“… … .”
There were several articles.
A lot of people took pictures from different points of view.
Most of the videos were of similar composition.
Wearing a robe that goes down from head to ankle, he throws a fireball without holding a staff.
I didn’t feel particularly strange just walking around slowly as if taking a walk and throwing a fireball straight away whenever I saw a monster.
But that’s one, two, three.
It was also a little scary to see the endless appearance.
In addition, there is a faint sound of laughter in the video at the end.
“hehehehe.”
It’s very faint, so I can’t hear it well, but if I turn the volume up to the maximum, I can hear it at first glance.
“hehehe.”
“Heh heh heh.”
The laughter heard every time a monster died was enough to cause misunderstanding.
“… … .”
Was I like that?
I try to remember, but I don’t remember laughing like a pervert like that.
However, there were quite a few similar videos because the video was manipulated.
Maybe it was a laugh that was drunk with overwhelming strength.
“Ehh.”
It’s Pycopass.
The first nickname I ever got.
“Listening to it, it seems like it’s affectionate.”
After waiting for another 10 minutes, the raid leader called the people.
“hello. My name is Chansung Lee, a level 15 tank. I’m in charge of the raid leader, and I’m going to do some raid maintenance for a while. We gathered 30 people and basically only recruited those who are level 8 or higher.”
“… … ?”
I didn’t ask Yoo Joo-yeon’s level, but I wondered what she was talking about, so I looked around and all the users who had gathered to go catch the field boss seemed pretty well armed.
At a sheep ranch, this is enough to lightly steam the monsters and eat them.
However, he didn’t suddenly raise his hand and say something like ‘I’m level 5’.
You don’t have to make excuses to go out on your own.
Anyway, with only one elemental ring, Yoo Joo-yeon’s level is meaningless.
“Tanks, please stand in front of me, magicians and healers this way, melee dealers this way, and ranged dealers this way.”
The attack leader introduced by Lee Chan-sung was quite systematic.
He seemed to have no sense of incongruity in dealing with many people and he seemed to have experience.
Users lined up according to the instructions.
Yoo Joo-yeon also moved to a wizard and a healer, and there were only four of them, including a woman whose standard was a human being.
“Tell me about your class.”
Each criterion user checked the class of the users assigned to them once again.
Asking about unique characteristics is not only rude, but rather than collecting all kinds of unique characteristics, it seems to be more convenient to classify them into a somewhat agreed classification called a class.
“I am a wizard. Fire series.”
“I’m a healer.”
“It’s a buffer.”
“yes. two healers. one buffer. A wizard.”
Seeing the buffer for the first time, he glanced at it curiously.
I couldn’t see anything by looking at it, but I wanted to check my skills while hunting.
The standard users went to the raid leader to gather information, and after talking for about 10 minutes, they split up again and led the users.
“We will have a party.”
The 30 users were divided into 5 parties.
Four parties with a mix of tanks, melee dealers, and ranged dealers.
A party with Juyeon Yoo, Buffer, 1 healer, 2 tanks and 1 melee damage dealer.
“Black Bear has invested all its major resources in the main dealer party, since it is a raid where firepower is important. Coincidentally, there is only one mage, and those who know it are sure to know it, so please refer to it.”
It was a statement that would make a dealer confident in his skills feel sad, but no one disputed it.
Yoo Joo-yeon also did not refuse because of the burden.
It’s a good thing if you can attack safely.
The party composition was over, and a simple strategy briefing was conducted.
“When the jet black bear enters a certain range, it will jump aggro to the first user it recognizes. I’ll be the first to go in and catch aggro, and I’ll focus on ranged dealers and reduce their HP until phase 2 begins. Tankers and melee dealers, if aggro bounces, save your health by blocking the road and bringing aggro.”
Like a person who had attacked several times, he was skillful and trustworthy.
Yoo Ju-yeon asked the healer next to her.
“How do you know that person so well? I must have caught it a few times.”
“no. We are also newcomers. It must be because the strategy is well posted in the community.”
“ah.”
The so-called ‘aggressive attack’.
Still, it’s better to do that than to be stupid.
“Then, we’ll do the last maintenance for 10 minutes and then we’ll leave.”
A large raiding party headed for the field.
* * *
It was fun to sweep the field alone, but there was romance to running around as a group.
This feeling of belonging somewhere.
And the responsibility that sits in the most important seat.
The attacking party entered the field and walked for a while.
There were no jet black bears in the vast grassland.
“Because the regenerated place is a forest, it may be a little difficult, so everyone, please relax.”
The field boss monster’s respawn location is completely random, so it’s not easy to find it if it appears in a deep place.
Being regenerated in a place where a lot of people go is also a problem of its own.
The entrance to the forest with thick trees through the meadow.
When I got there, I stopped walking.
“There are more going in here, but we plan to pull it out this way as much as possible to hunt.”
If the trees are overgrown, the hit rate of ranged dealers will drop.
Not only that, but the field of vision is also obscured, resulting in users who focus exclusively on monsters.
“Only the leading party will enter. Keep the rest in formation and prepare for an attack.”
Six people, including the raid leader, entered the forest.
The rest of the players keep their distance and form formations to prepare for an attack.
thud! thud!
Maybe 1-2 minutes passed.
I hear the sound of the ground shaking.
Kwajik!
You can also hear the sound of a tree breaking, and the sound gradually approaches you.
thud! thud! thud!
A sound that gets faster and louder.
There was no user who did not know what it meant.
Yoo Joo-yeon immediately summoned a fire ball.
I will throw it the moment I see it.
While waiting, a hologram appeared.
[Magical Amplification (D) effect is applied.]
[Duration: 180 seconds]
[Power +2]
“uh?”
When I turned my head, Buffer was holding a cane.
What a D-class buff.
It’s not a huge number for Yoo Joo-yeon wearing an elemental ring, but considering the abilities of users of this level, it’s a pretty good buff.
While admiring it, it hurt a tree and one user jumped out.
“come!”
As if he had jumped with all his might, he shouted with heavy breathing, followed by the rest of the users.
Blasphemy!
Trees falling at the same time.
A huge jet black bear appeared from behind.
“attack!”
It’s a good 4M tall, and the leather covered with thick fur looks hard.
oh oh oh-!
Despite being outnumbered, the momentum emitted towards the intruders who touched his plant is not frightened at all.
Rather, the eyes of the users who see the jet black bear are atrophied.
Can I catch something like that?
Physically afraid to even dare approach.
Through the gap, ranged attacks pour in.
Arrows and other thrown weapons reach the jet black bear.
I wonder if things like that can make a flaw, but the level of the users gathered here is at the level of graduation in the F-class field, and the equipment is great.
The attacks that stick into the leather are annoying, and it roars once again to see if the damage is coming.
oh oh oh oh!
An enraged jet black bear charges.
At first, the raid leader, who was attracted by aggro, was attacked by a huge body.
Lee Chan-seong, who did not even dare to stop, threw himself and rolled.
Attacks continue to pour in, but the jet black bear doesn’t care and rushes towards Lee Chan-sung.
It’s a good situation.
Aggro is attracted to the tanker, and the rest of the dealers naturally come out with free attack angles.
But it is also a dangerous situation.
It’s a much safer way to lead a raid if you spread aggro all over the place rather than blindly attracting it to just one tank.
To do that, you need a way to divert the jet black bear’s gaze.
That was the concentration of firepower of the distance dealers, but it didn’t work.
“More attacks… … .”
Should I take the risk and stick with melee dealers?
As I was thinking about it, I lost feeling in my shoulder, which had been hit by a jet black bear’s fist.
“Kuk.”
It’s a great power.
It was equipped not only with strength, but also with speed that did not match its size, so it was difficult for even a level 15 tank to handle alone.
“I’m not alone… … !”
The moment I tried to ask for help.
bang!
The movement of the jet black bear stopped with the sound of something exploding.
Like an unexpected stab in the back of the head.
