285 – Area 1 – Abandoned Laboratory (6)
While thinking about the next best solution, Aquilene’s magic was completed first.
The guy who was constantly gathering magic power while deploying the [Black Shield] Suddenly exploded the concentrated energy and stretched out his hand towards me.
“To death!”
And at the same time, black magical power explodes.
The shape is a vine.
Dozens of vine-like shapes approach me.
I quickly took out [Pure Paladin’s Buckler] And prepared for defense.
‘It is not the ultimate skill.’
Although he shouted words that could be considered a warning, there is a high probability that this was simply a signal.
For the ultimate skill of a magic attack, the amount of concentrated magic power was not that high, and the words spoken were also a little different from the grammar of general speech.
Pot- Pababa-
Kang! Skang!
Kaga River-!!
Dozens of black vines cling to the shield and hit it.
There was no need to use the [Iron Wall Defense] Skill.
The sacred shield, which has increased sensitivity through the [Silver Moon Shadow] Rune, provides effective defense against magic attacks of the dark attribute.
‘This is similar to the black hand I saw back then.’
We analyzed the power of the attacks that came without hesitation.
The ultimate skill used by the wizard at the beginning of the dungeon.
A huge black hand made with the words ‘grab it’.
At the time, I didn’t have time to feel it in detail as I was unconsciously blocking the skill thanks to [Trillion’s Brilliant Oath], But now I can clearly see that the attack was divided into dozens of vines.
Those unique magic powers and skills seemed to be abilities common to members of the Ludenarch School.
Even though the form is different, the essence is the same.
If so, it means that Aquilen in front of you can also use the ultimate skill as much as you want.
I had to strike quickly before giving up time.
“To death! To a deeper death!”
Aquilen’s voice spreads one after another, and this time the black vines change direction.
Front, back, right, left.
Black vines flock from all directions without any boundaries.
It was an attack that could no longer be blocked with just a shield.
But.
‘Gathered.’
I also did not stay still.
When the concentration of magical power that had been slowly gathering from a while ago was completed, and the addition of the auxiliary runes [Magic Amplification] And [Florian Spell] Were completed.
I finally screamed with my fists clenched.
“Turn the tables!”
The ultimate skill used by Cha Soo-yeon, a former Clan executive.
[Reverse Gravity] From [Unbearable Gravity].
It is not a general type of attack that increases gravity to apply pressure, but a high-level magic that generates an instantaneous repulsive force like a kind of weightlessness.
The most unique magic among gravity-manipulating skills unfolds around you.
“Well, what…” ?!”
A voice with a clear look of embarrassment is heard.
Aquilen’s body instantly rose into the air, and he floundered in an unstable position in the air.
And the ‘black vines’ that were shooting at me from all directions also lost their direction and bounced around without knowing where to go.
In a situation where the arrangement of magical power is distorted, no attack can be performed normally.
As the body floated into the sky due to anti-gravity, Aquilen’s concentration was completely disrupted.
Thanks to you, I escaped the crisis and at the same time left Aquilen defenseless.
‘Stealth.’
But I did not take advantage of the brief opportunity.
The opponent is a wizard class that is predicted to be at least A-level to S-level.
Even though the ultimate skill was used to push the situation to its extreme, there was still room for a counterattack even in this urgent situation.
At least I still have the strength to deploy [Black Shield].
Therefore, I did not attack right away, but hid myself using the [Stealth] Rune.
[Black Shield] Is like the absolute defense of the Ludenarch School.
To break through that defense shield.
“Where are you? “Where are you hiding!!”
High-level [Stealth] Allows her to hide all of her presence just by disappearing from her opponent’s sight.
Thanks to this, Aquilen, struggling in the air, shouted in frustration.
Anxiety about not knowing where an attack might come from.
It was making her lose her composure in battle.
Of course, since the opponent is also a high-ranking wizard, this hiding does not last long.
‘Hide Attack.’
But that brief moment was enough.
[Hide Attack] Is a derived skill that can only be used in stealth mode.
After a brief hiding, I showed myself and stabbed Aquilen with my sword.
“How many times have you said it’s no use…” !!”
And Aquilen, who discovered me, summons black magic power as if he is annoyed.
The manifestation of [Black Shield], Absolute defense.
My sword seemed to be being absorbed into the darkness again.
But.
“Sigh… !!”
“…… ?!”
Ka, kaggggg-
Jeok-!
A gap appears in the iron wall that seemed infinitely strong.
[Hide Attack] Is an attack skill that increases destructive power through a sneak attack, but it is one of the few skills I have that has a ‘durability reduction’ effect.
Even though I can’t completely destroy [Black Shield] With this…
Something that can create at least one small gap.
And when my sword penetrated the seemingly impenetrable black magic, it finally reached Aquilen’s skin.
‘Art is an explosion, man.’
I just used the [Force of the exploding sword].
It was the moment when the maximum amount of magical power within the sword exploded.
From Noble mtl dot com
Quaga, Quagga-!!
Quaaang-!!
A huge roar explodes like firecrackers in the air.
“Kwaaak-!!”
And then, one tempo later, Aquilen’s screams were heard.
‘Bingo.’
I cried out in joy.
What was analyzed in a short period of time was as expected.
[Black Shield] Appears to be invincible because it combines physical defense and magic defense at the same time, but its ability to ‘use both at the same time’ was acting as a blind spot.
‘You only need to pierce one of the two.’
It is never easy to break through the highly concentrated magic defense of the wizard class.
To break through with the same magical power attack, you need to use a much higher level attack, and even if you break through, it’s doubtful whether you’ll be able to hit it properly.
However, [Black Shield] Is an ability that combines magic defense and physical defense ‘at the same time’.
Therefore, the attack can be successful even if only one of the two is penetrated.
‘Physical defenses were penetrated like a meal.’
And for me, breaking through physical defenses is pretty easy.
Anyway, I have an ability setting close to that of a warrior, and I also have the means to reduce my opponent’s durability.
I, too, have dealt with ‘armor’ and ‘shields’ much more than [Magic shields].
Of course, the mechanism for breaking through this has been sufficiently studied.
“Hide and throw.”
Once you penetrate, there are opportunities for chain attacks.
I have already used the ultimate skill for the third time.
This time, [Knife Rain] Of the [Secret Secret Art] Rune.
A powerful physical attack skill that rains down 21 daggers on a single target.
Without the [Black Shield], Aquilen has almost no resistance to physical attacks… It was an additional hit that was literally like rat poison.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…” !!”
Aquilene stabbed by 21 daggers like a hedgehog.
His entire body was completely destroyed, and he struggled in unbearable pain.
The first explosion was accompanied by a scream.
The next additional hit was met with groans.
The bigger the blow, the more I felt his condition, which made it difficult for him to even make a sound.
“Bill… “What the hell.”
But did you say that even a mouse will bite a cat if it is cornered?
In a situation where it would be difficult for an ordinary person to even control his body…
It seemed like Aquilen was up to something else.
The black magic that had been bothering me throughout the battle is now gathered near the heart of Aquilen.
Sssss-
Along with an ominous sound, they gathered together intensely, showing even darker colors.
And it becomes more and more like a whirlpool.
When it started to condense violently.
“Facing death… Huh?!”
No need to listen any more.
I immediately stabbed the [Confessor’s Sword] Into his head.
The ‘Change Strike’ full-stack sword strike that I wasn’t able to complete before.
Because the water attribute was blocked, this attack was converted to the fire attribute.
“I should have used the special move a long time ago.”
It looks like he was trying to use an ability that is presumed to be the ultimate skill, but there is no way around it.
If you just wait for that, you’re an idiot.
With the victory already secured with [Explosive Sword Momentum] And [Knife Rain], There was no reason not to use the finishing blow.
Patchoux-
Tsutsutsu-!!
There was another confirmed kill with [Infiltrating Lightning].
Because it is a lightning attribute, the change strike effect does not activate, but it definitely destroys enemies in a near-dead state through electric shock.
All existing possibilities have been eliminated.
Cheoppadeok-
That is how Aquilen collapsed and died.
I ended up not being able to use all my strength…
In some ways, it was a pretty meaningless death.
“… ….”
Even though he was from another world, he killed someone who wasn’t a monster for the first time in his life.
An unpleasant feeling pierced through my hair remained at my fingertips.
I had a slightly uneasy feeling…
Fortunately, it ended at just an uncomfortable level.
I didn’t feel guilty at all.
‘Because they are trash that turned humans into chimeras.’
This is because we have already seen the evil deeds of the Ludenarch School in this crazy research complex.
Those who helped the former Clan commit crimes, kidnapped innocent people, experimented on them, and even committed the unforgivable act of turning them into chimeras.
There was absolutely no reason to humanely save those people.
“Jaehyun!”
And then a familiar voice came from behind.
Just as I fought a fierce battle with Aquilene, Park Ji-hwan fought alone against the chimeras within the research institute.
Is S-class really S-class?
At first glance, the number of chimeras seemed to be close to 20, but all of them had already been captured.
I was surprised when we fought together earlier, but he truly had monster-like skills.
“I’m glad you weren’t hurt.”
“Is Choi A-rin’s holder safe?”
“Hmm. I must have escaped easily because I made my way as far away from the chimera as possible. Let’s go out quickly too. “We have to save other victims.”
“Yes.”
Thankfully, Choi A-rin was rescued in time, but there were many more kidnapping victims who had not yet been rescued.
They are probably trapped somewhere in this crazy research complex.
