Song of Flowers (3)
Subjugation of unidentified entities is usually divided into three stages.
Phase 1, testing the strength of the shield and calculating the provisional grade.
Phase 2, after removing the shield, hit the body and figure out the pattern.
Phase 3, Awakening Check and Kill.
And Project L was about to reach the end of the second stage around 40 minutes after the start of the battle.
[Tank Overload. Please switch to Aggro.]
“Supplemental team 1, focus firepower! Main team stop attacking!”
When Rajit Shahi’s body temperature rises significantly while trying to block the massive claws, the engineering leader Leva Rich tries to divert the monster’s attention according to the opinion of the combat support team leader.
“Shall we take turns?”
“Wait!”
Reserve tanker Valeria Andreyeva refused to participate.
In terms of efficiency, it might have been the right decision to replace it, but the priority was to collect data for the subsequent subjugation of higher-level monsters.
[Supplement 1 team aggro secured. After 30 seconds, the supplementary 2 teams take over, and the main team melee occupations take a break for 50 seconds.]
“Acknowledgment.”
The situation is not bad.
Just before breaking the monster’s shield.
There was a small snowball fight as if the hands and feet were not aligned, but in any case, Lee Yong-soo broke the external defense system at once.
The raid leader himself was also adjusting the air and water balance between the tanker and the ranged dealer.
At this rate, I should be able to reach Phase 3 without difficulty.
“Pindos! Trees bounce! Stop it properly!”
“You’re blocking it now! Avoid minor attacks on your own!”
There is also one clear drawback, so Reba Richie shakes his head.
Lina Taylor and Ina Miranova were fighting even during the battle.
“What if I can’t even block effective hits and can’t even block them!”
“Your limbs are fine thanks to me! On the subject of leisurely reciting prayers!”
After all, both of them were doing their job well.
Lina Taylor is difficult to hit directly due to Scorpio’s nature (plant control), so she blocks long-range attacks.
Ina Miranova is using prayers such as [Sacred Hammer] and [Chain of Unbelievers] to support the supplementary team.
As one side said, there was a dissonance in the activation of the awakening period, but there would be no reason to set the angle like that.
“I’m doing much better than you!”
“Lee doesn’t seem to think so? Did you forget you glared at me earlier?”
“that’s… … .”
Even while arguing, the limbs move without rest… I don’t know if I should like it because I have great abilities.
[Recovery time is over! The main team, I will take over right away.]
“Shahi!”
“I have recovered. No problem!”
But anyway, the monster subjugation takes place without any delay.
KIA-!!
As the supplementary team 2 members stepped back about 15 meters wide, Rajit Shahi inserted a square shield into Scorpio’s joints.
In succession, the raid leader’s Pike took a direct hit on the body that was spinning to the right. As the movement is temporarily blocked, Lee Yong-soo, who has been selected as the next engineering chief, takes over the work.
Whoop!
The claws let out a pangong sound, but only caught air, so the boy quickly climbed a 4-meter-high scorpion.
From the forelegs to the back and back to the tail.
With unhesitating movements and neat route selection, you are in front of a new destination in the blink of an eye.
And soon, the reddish gauntlet touched the middle of the tail.
Awesome!
The noise that followed was a mixture of several things. The sound of carapaces being crushed, the screams of monsters, and the admiration of humans.
The interim chief of engineering, Leva Rich, fell into the third of these cases.
“It’s a counter! It’s deal timing!”
Although he gave orders for a crossfire with his mouth and stabbed the pike with both hands, he gave a generous evaluation in his head.
‘Only international standards are 4th grade, but in fact it is close to 3rd grade.’
Actually, that’s what I’ve seen.
Even if the same weapon was given to them, each one had a different way to use it, so did the people with special abilities in the raid.
Some fought based on combat support briefings, while others trusted the realm of intuition more.
The number of uses is the latter case.
Even if you refer to the voice in the earphone, the battle judgment and body movement were thoroughly based on instinct.
It was like that even now.
He could have been greedy, but when Scorpio broke the [Chain of Unbelievers] and struggled, he backed down without regret.
“Stop the deal! Not a counter!”
“Stop the deal!”
Is it experience, talent, or foreknowledge? The exact secret is unknown, but it was clear that it was not a lump of luggage.
what.
From a certain moment, his physical ability decreased and returned to the level of 4th grade, but this is probably due to the problem of adaptability with faith ability, that is, to believe in another religion.
[…] Unregistered pattern! Phase 3 Be careful!]
“Well?”
[It is estimated to be an awakening period! Be prepared!]
At that time, the words of the combat support team leader raised Leva Rich’s vigilance.
It’s not that it’s not, the monster has been crouching with its huge body. I was able to read an unusual sign from the appearance of the hard shell drying up in an instant.
“Awakening alert! Switch to defensive formation! Join the reserve!”
“да (yes)!”
As a result, the tanker- Valeria Andreyeva, who was in the back, joins the front line, and the supplementary team also prepares their own defensive posture.
Lee Yong-soo, who returned to the 1.5 line, spits out a story out of the blue.
“Since [disappearance of bodily organs].”
“… what?”
“Body organs… No, it’s the awakening period of the curse system. It’s deadly even for tanks, so you’d better get away from it. At least as far as the supplementary team.”
“If you have the mental resistance trait-”
“It can’t be.”
“… … .”
“I don’t have time to complicate things.”
What should she have answered?
Why can’t I survive with the mental resistance trait?
Why can’t tankers of the same class hold up?
“Get out of the way! Space up to 15 meters! Hurry!”
However, even though there were not a few things to ask, Leva Rich shows off the face of a veteran with an emergency evasion order.
‘Whether the team members are right or wrong, there’s nothing wrong with being careful.’
For a long time, it was an iron rule established during heroic activities.
* * *
If there is something I learned while dealing with Venetus, it is that the awakening period is different from when I was eroded by the Aztec god.
[Drops of Corruption] when controlled by the ‘Feathered Serpent’, now changed into a method close to a water bomb.
The case of Scorpio was not much different.
‘He’ll use the sun of the dead or dry legs. However, it is difficult to use the Lion’s Sun unless you are the Apostle of the Hummingbird… It’s going to be a dry leg anyway.’
‘what is that.’
‘curse. A terrible curse. It is a power derived from Witchilopochtli, the god of hummingbirds and one of the sun gods. That guy’s left foot has been cracking since he was born.’
If the parrot’s guess is correct, it’s a cursed awakening.
‘Can I stop it with [Negative]?’
‘no. He’s also level 3 no matter what, but [denial] alone isn’t enough. Although it is a skill that belongs to the highest level in terms of mental defense, it is not physically the highest level. It’s best not to fit.’
Therefore, two specialized abilities were needed to meet the awakening period.
These are [space control] and [denial].
And the time for results came quickly.
“Get out of the way! Space up to 15 meters! Hurry!”
Right after Leva Rich, U.S. Corps Chief, made a wise choice, I moved in the opposite direction with the Corps.
It didn’t move away from the monster, but rather went inward, toward the seal on the tail joint that it hadn’t been able to hit properly before.
“Lee!”
[Lee Yong-soo!]
The belated call was ignored.
Because it was not a physical awakening period, there was no need to hesitate.
Soon, the moment when the engineering corps members retreated far away.
The seal on the tail node is dyed dark blue-green, and the jewels in my gauntlet also amplify my abilities to the limit.
＜It’s releasing! Turn your eyes!＞
Just then, something flashed.
I couldn’t confirm exactly what had happened because I turned my head after listening to the parrot’s advice, but I was able to infer it from the senses conveyed by [Space Control].
It spread like light, but it was not light, and on the other hand, it seemed to be close to liquid.
A sticky, viscous, viscous feeling.
Do you have something like that?
Notable enough to know that just looking at it would harm my body.
It was just like that, the invisible defense structure formed by [Space Control] was being maintained in jeopardy.
＜Keep your mind straight. If the ability structure is broken, it will be overwritten. Push to the side, not forward. Let it seep into the ground.＞
“… You are doing it.”
＜If it’s really hard, put aside ‘denial’ for a while. You don’t have to keep it in the gauntlet. After all, if the awakening period is blocked, you will fall into a groggy state. You can deal with it then.＞
Even if the parrot closed its beak, my concentration would improve by 20 percent.
For a while, the thought consisted of half truth and half ingratitude.
The steps that stopped while blocking the awakening period start to move forward slowly again.
Everything that flew in from the front was pushed aside, and what remained was seeping into the floor on either side.
While my right hand gauntlet was still emitting red light, the black giant scorpion was dead and motionless.
＜It’s almost done. If you don’t know, don’t rush head-on.＞
“A seal?”
＜Negative is enough. You lost your power once.＞
In response, I close the distance with the monster in an instant. All four pairs of legs were down, making it very easy to mount on the side.
Successively stepping on the segmented body for each carapace, and taking four or five more steps, the destination was the tail.
Whatever happened, the entire upper part except for the tensile part was severed.
tooth support.
Soon after, the blackened seal spewed out the ooze as soon as it came into contact with the gauntlet.
＜Go down now. It’s time for a conversation.＞
“… Is it over?”
＜Is it time for a conversation? The engineering corps members must have been moderately injured, so we should fix it quickly and send them to Venetus.＞
Before I even feel hopeless, my eyes turn to the sound of the engineering crew being injured.
Left side of Scorpio.
A large man was kneeling.
However, since I don’t have a cure-related ability, and the situation isn’t over- I jump to the back and touch the tail part.
It meant that if you were going to talk, get up first.
[…] oh come Yayahooi comeya.]
“… … .”
I wish he would stop talking about it, but anyway, it was important to stay conscious, so I went back to the blind spot and spoke.
“… I heard that we can cooperate.”
[The flower breaks. Jade is cracked, gold is broken, Quetzal feathers are torn. This land is not eternal, so my pain will also be a moment.]
yes.
I’m sorry if you don’t sing.
＜Don’t be too sarcastic. He is also a victim of malice.＞
“A victim of malice?”
＜You are a servant of the Goddess of Sacrifice, so you must be a victim of goodwill?＞
He is too.
[So I will rejoice. Ayahui owaya!]
[I will sing joyfully and give joy to the Creator and humans.]
[As the creator of life adorns my name, dance with love while wearing flowers as bracelets and necklaces.]
.
.
.
[At one time, the statue of the goddess was imprisoned in the house of jewels, but it is inevitable that the flower tree be shaken and scattered.]
[Warrior, you are here.]
[You appear when the flower tree changes, and you bend the branches to collect the scattered petals.]
[Warrior, you are here! Oh come-!]
Then, all of a sudden, the scorpion starts to dance, shaking its front paws… It wasn’t a very nice sight.
just kill it
Since there was not one eye watching, I had all sorts of random thoughts.
