334 – Area 7 – Old Shelter (2)
The R&D team has done a great job since the department was opened.
[Sign of Disturbance] Served to eliminate magic traps at each point in the area, and [Mental Potion] Temporarily improved mental status to resist curses and status abnormalities.
In addition, various equipment and magic tools served as a countdown to the Strategy.
The R&D team started opening about a month ago, and the members were also gathered at that time… In fact, it was just amazing that this much was achieved in just one month.
From what I heard from Choi Arin, some items were individually produced by her team members in advance, and some were jointly produced after the team was formed.
Among the items provided, all items listed as joint production are in the latter case.
‘Either way, it’s amazing.’
Whether it is an individual production or a joint production, both are amazing.
Is expected to be the most difficult target area of all time.
The genius of the R&D team was clearly revealed simply by producing an item that was effective in targeting this area.
It seems that if you bring together talented people, something will come out.
“Arin Choi Holder, you worked hard.”
“Yes, Master. Please come back safely.”
Arin Choi, who taught all the supplies and how to use them, prepared to return.
She goes to the base camp that will soon be built at the beginning of .
All magic traps have been removed, and there are no adaptors nearby.
And the attack process is connected to each area.
Accordingly, the leaders of the cooperative clans, including Association President Kwon Young-hoon, planned to set up a new base camp at the beginning of .
I don’t know how many more areas there will be in In the future, but since almost all of the additional powers have been released, it is probably nearing its end.
This base camp was scheduled to be the final base of the Allied Forces attacking .
After Choi Arin returned to her base camp.
The Allied forces slowly moved forward using magic tools.
“The archer unit alternates between using signs of disruption and conducting reconnaissance. It’s okay to utilize your personal abilities during exploration, but never to the point where it becomes dangerous. “Your lives are the lives of the Allied Forces.”
“Yes!”
The unit members strictly followed my instructions as commander of the Allied Forces.
Student holder, newbie with no professional experience yet -.
Such titles no longer bound me.
This is because the experience I have accumulated so far as a holder is so overwhelming.
Experience in conquering countless dungeons, creating the highest-level raid in the country, creating a new clan to take on the strongholds of the three major clans, and even becoming an S-rank holder, the highest achievement an individual can achieve….
We have accumulated achievements in a short period of time that no one can ignore.
Thanks to this, the unit members’ trust in my orders was almost absolute.
“Assassin troops are the first to move when a vampire appears among the enemies. As mentioned in the pre-meeting, vampires use symbolic magic, which is more powerful and faster to cast than regular magic. “We must take a preemptive strike before that attack arrives.”
“Yes!!”
No vampires have been discovered in Area 7 yet.
However, we did not know what variables would arise when the attack was not completed, and there was also a possibility that the Ludenarch School had dispatched additional troops.
We had to prepare a strategy for all situations.
And about 20 minutes.
When we moved for a while while setting up signs and conducting reconnaissance.
Team A-reum, team leader of Team 4, who was in charge of the archer unit, hurriedly approached and reported.
“Master! “We found multiple enemies ahead!”
I asked back calmly.
“What are the numbers and types?”
“There are so many that it’s hard to keep track of them! And the kind….”
Areum Kim takes a deep breath and continues speaking.
“Thermen warriors and vampires. All the additional power the Master mentioned has been gathered!”
As expected.
Was the gathering place for ‘external troops’ brought in by the Ludenarch School.
I nodded to Areum Kim’s report and stepped forward.
‘Call of the Covenant.’
I summon the one with the fastest breakthrough power among my contractors.
Jayten boasts a brilliant silver mane and a dignified figure.
After lightly climbing onto his saddle, I raised my holy sword and shouted.
“All armies, advance!”
It was the moment when the full-scale attack began.
* * *
Handami belongs to the Clan and is a B-class warrior type holder.
She is quite rare among female holders. She is a holder who follows the path of a defensive (tanking) type of warrior rather than an offensive type.
She is If she takes a clan member as an example, she is a holder similar to Camila Flores.
She is like that now.
She was holding a one-handed sword and shield and fending off enemies in a trancelike state.
“—-!!”
“Ugh… also!! “Impregnable defense!”
An enemy warrior (a warrior called ‘Thermen’ according to the prior meeting) approaches, making an indiscernible scream.
She seemed to be saying something, but the language was different so I couldn’t understand it.
Anyway, the important thing is that a crisis is just around the corner.
Handami used her saved [Iron Wall Defense] Skill in a sudden attack that caught her gap.
Kaang-!!
Kaggggg-.
“Hmm… !!”
“—-!!”
Following a solid defense, a quick counterattack continues.
Rare grade martial arts rune, [Dalton Sword Technique].
It was the most effective sword technique when using a broadsword, a one-handed sword.
And when he thrust his sword into the shoulder of the enemy Termen warrior.
“… Ah.”
Handami sensed that her attack had not had any effect.
There is a thumping sound, but from her opponent’s momentum, she feels that she is not hit at all.
I vaguely knew the reason.
-The warriors of Termen possess a special power called ‘will.’ Warriors above advanced level have their own will that is classified as an epic rune, and mid- to low-level warriors have overlapping forms of will. And the most common form of will is the ‘will of steel.’
Will of steel.
The will to rapidly increase body durability and increase the power of defense-related runes.
The warrior Handami had just faced seemed to possess this [Iron Will].
‘How can each and every one of you be so strong!’
Crying out loud.
The Termen warriors were strong.
I knew in advance at the meeting that even the middle and low-level warriors were at the level of A-class monsters, but with the addition of the ability called ‘will’ and combat sense, it was much more powerful than expected.
Just dealing with one person was a daunting task.
‘Tch… I thought it was too easy.’
When I first announced that I would join the mercenary clan in the Clan and started conquering Area 7, I just thought I had seized a golden opportunity.
Of course, this is the most difficult dungeon strategy that has been receiving a lot of attention from the domestic holder community recently.
In addition, Holder Do Jae-hyun, currently the strongest and most popular, takes office as commander of the Allied Forces.
From Noble mtl dot com
You would be a fool if you didn’t participate even though you had the ability.
But what?
After coming in and dealing with him, it was not an easy strategy.
The enemies displayed difficult abilities against our allies, and a crisis arose that could result in the loss of one’s life in an instant if one were to make a mistake.
The assumption that ‘even if one has the ability’ was a wrong assumption from the beginning.
“—-!!”
But there was no time to wallow in lamentation.
The enemy Termen warriors really pushed our warrior units without any time to rest.
Handami raised his shield and prepared his new skill.
“Shield Attack… !!”
A forward skill that uses the shield like a weapon to move forward.
If we block this one turn, the fire support from the backline wizards will arrive.
I tried to spare no skill for that purpose.
“Damiya! Next!”
But then.
A clan mate belonging to the same warrior unit shouts urgently.
A Termen warrior escaped from the Allied forces’ encirclement formation and was rushing towards Handami.
“Ah… !”
Handami, who has already started casting the skill, is defenseless.
If it remained as is, it might have allowed the attack and reached a near-death state.
If that Termen warrior possesses [Will of Onslaught] Rather than [Will of Steel]… Maybe instant death.
It was a moment of desperate crisis.
Kwa, kwaaang-!!
Kwoaaah… !!
And that moment.
One holder flew in like a light and struck the Termen warrior in the face.
Immediately, he knocks down the Termen warrior, who has lost his balance, and pours his fists into his abdomen as if pounding him.
“W-what is so ignorant…” .”
Handami had never seen such an ignorant attack.
I heard that among the warrior classes, there are holders of the ‘martial arts’ class who often use knuckles, but none of them have become high-ranking holders above Class A.
Unfortunately, those who used non-mainstream weapons had clear limitations.
But what on earth does that scene mean?
The question was soon resolved.
“The 1st warrior unit will retreat like this. Fire support from the wizard unit will arrive within 2 seconds.”
“Yes!!”
Lightly given orders and shouting unit members.
It was only after seeing that scene that Handami realized.
This is Do Jae-hyun.
The holder who saved me from that ignorant attack…
This was Holder, Do Jae-hyeon, the overall commander of the Allied forces.
Still, there were unanswered questions.
‘Why on earth did you leave your sword and use your fist…? No, in the first place, does it make sense to inflict such a blow with just your fists?’
As soon as the battle began, Do Jae-hyeon led the vanguard riding his main summon, Jay Ten.
He was crisscrossing the battlefield, rescuing Allied comrades who were in crisis.
And the main weapon used is a knuckle, not a holy sword.
Do Jae-hyeon was beating down ‘mid- to low-level Termen warriors’ who were at the level of A-level monsters with only his fists.
