EP.83 Class A Beating Class C (3)
The boss monster has changed.
Not a Grizzly Drake, but a Red Drake.
A monster with a red mane, not a gray mane.
He was growling towards me, an intruder in the boss room.
‘Why did you change?’
Once the monsters inside the dungeon are cleared, they will respawn after a week.
Although nothing has been fully revealed about this system in which new monsters are created like a game, some details about Regen have been universally determined.
For example, after the initial attack, the ‘rest room’ will no longer be opened, and if the boss of the dungeon has a gimmick, the gimmick will also disappear… This was a kind of rule revealed through the dungeon raids of the holders.
But no such rule.
There was no change in the boss monster.
Even if the gimmick of ‘Magic Immunity’ disappeared, the boss had to remain the same.
‘Maybe because of the Dragon’s Magic Stone… ?’
A pretty reasonable reasoning came to my mind.
A magic stone filled in [Forgotten Dragon’s Slate].
As the name suggests, they are all magic stones of the dragon monster.
And the monsters that correspond to the sub-dragon are monsters that have not been known to the holder world until now.
Grizzly Drake, Swir Leviathan, and Imoogi of the Wild.
All of them were monsters with no related monster information.
In other words, if Grizzly Drake occupied the first dungeon as a special dragon, and Red Drake was originally the boss monster of this dungeon.
This meant that the current situation was rather normal.
‘Then the forest covered with snakes… ‘
Perhaps the boss monster was different.
Unfortunately, the dungeon is owned by ＜Judgment of Fire＞, not me, so I thought I would have to ask the clan to send it out later.
– Whoops… !!
While I was thinking about it for a while.
Red Drake’s body moved.
After confirming that I entered the boss room.
It was a rush that occurred not long after.
I was holding [Hobgoblin’s Bronze Shield] as a weapon change technique…
Soon after realizing something strange, the replacement was stopped.
‘Is it too fast?’
Red Drake’s speed was too fast.
A high speed that cannot be created with the speed ability alone.
However, it is not a movement that can be regarded as a footwork rune.
I knew that type of rune better than anyone.
“You’re running.”
It was only explained by the assault rune [Sprint].
His movement was a ‘charge’ supported by runes.
No, is [Sprint] correct?
No matter how high the level was, his speed was too fast even considering the use of runes.
Maybe it was a higher-level assault rune than [Sprint].
‘Once the dagger… !’
I flew the dagger from the waist, just in case.
This was to check whether the opponent simply possessed the Assault Rune or even [Ruthless Charge].
Kang- Kang-!
‘It’s okay.’
As expected.
He also possessed a [ruthless charge].
My daggers, which flew quickly, bounced off without even giving a single blow.
This means that physical attacks are ignored.
Red Drake then ran faster, as if using him as a vehicle for acceleration, and was reaching right in front of me.
– Whoops… !!
“Suck… !!”
I used [Sleek body movement] at the right time.
I had no intention of stopping the guy’s charge with a shield.
Although the monster’s entity has been changed, Red Drake is also an A-class monster anyway.
It boasts high values in strength and speed, and its destructive power is beyond imagination when supported by the Assault Rune.
It was a pretty lame idea to block them with a shield just because I have defense runes and related skills.
Aww!!
– Whoa…
‘crazy. It must have been a real disaster.’
The seat I had been standing on for a second was smashed.
He barely escaped Red Drake’s charge.
Most of my main stats are over 40, and although the average stat for B-class is close to 50…
There is a significant gap with Red Drake, which is still an A-class.
That’s why it’s an assault rune that boasts tremendous speed.
Avoiding this was not easy.
‘A quick solution… ‘
I quickly figured out a way to dodge the charge.
The best strategy is to feed the core skill combo I have, just like when I killed ‘Imoogi of the Wilderness’ the other day.
After receiving effective hits by cutting durability with [Hide Attack] of [Hidden], add a certain additional hit with the ultimate skill [Wave Sword].
It was like that at the time, but if you enter it properly, it boasts tremendous power.
However, the problem was that I couldn’t use [Stealth] now.
The space in the boss room is small, there is no space to hide, and it is difficult to disappear from view because Red Drake is chasing after me with a stalking charge.
Since there were no colleagues to help him like he did back then, it was difficult to give him a combo easily.
‘The declaration of war… Damn, I wrote it before.’
Another way is to use [Declaration of War] of [Coercion].
Unfortunately, this has a cooldown.
Apparently, the B-class monsters were hunting in succession, so they weren’t in the best physical condition with all the skills.
‘You have to use a land-based magic rune.’
There is only one way left in the end.
Using [Garden of the Cracked Earth] to transform the land.
If you cut through the ground or move to twist the path…
The gnome’s charge has no choice but to stop, and at that time the path of attack is opened.
What I lack right now is evasion and tanking, not deals.
– Whoa… !!
Red Drake dyed his body red again and prepared to charge.
‘It wasn’t red because it was burned, but it was red because it was running with fire… .’
It’s ridiculous and I laugh out loud.
In the modifier ‘red’, of course, I thought it would be a monster that uses fire like a sizzling salamander, but it is rather a monster that uses charge like a B-class monster Centaur.
Fortunately, there is no gimmick of ‘Magic Immunity’ when dealing with Grizzly Drake, but…
In terms of the destructive power of the charge and the difficulty of stopping it, it was surprisingly more difficult than the Grizzly Drake.
– Grrr… !!
The guy runs again.
A charge that utilizes high speed and the assault type rune level.
With a little delay, you will reach me as quickly as before.
‘The protrusion… !!’
I quickly used [The Garden of the Cracked Earth].
The goal is to protrude the ground situated in the path of the gnome’s charge.
To make a part of the ground rise upward, as if making a rock or rock.
Googg-
I still couldn’t protrude right in front of him due to lack of proficiency, but I protruded the ground in a part that could be reached along the way.
If the assault continues like this.
Red Drake was sure to come to a halt after hitting a bulge.
You have to tap that gap.
I draw magic power to link subsequent attacks…
– Whoops… !!
“uh?”
turned around
It’s not like I’m crazy or anything like that…
In fact, he turned around during the charge.
Red Drake spins around half of the bulge in its path, then starts charging back at me.
no, f*ck it.
what.
Does that make sense?
‘Is it possible to change the route during the charge?’
This made sure
The rune he possessed was not [Sprint].
The [Sprint] I have cannot change the charge path.
You can do it, but the charge support of [Sprint] is cut off immediately.
You can only charge in one direction, and if it cuts off, you have to dodge charge and then move.
However, while Red Drake changes course during the charge, it does not even slow down significantly.
It was clear that it was a higher level assault rune than [Sprint].
‘You must also hear a shield.’
Dodge has already missed the timing.
Besides, considering the case before, there was a good chance that he would get caught up in the guy’s charge while evading.
Now, whether killed or cooked, I had to face that charge.
I summoned [Hobgoblin’s Bronze Shield] with the weapon change technique.
A skill that immediately follows [Iron Wall Defense].
That’s not the end.
‘Attack is the best defense… !’
If you repeat dodge and defense, there is no chance of a comeback.
While holding the shield, I raised the magic power to the shield.
[Scorching Flame] and [Infiltrating Thunderbolt].
Two attribute type magic attacks flowed on the side of the shield.
Fire on the left, lightning on the right.
This is a magical attack prepared with a double, just in case.
If it hits the shield like this.
Maybe Red Drake’s body isn’t strong either.
-Groo… !!
Kang, Kaka-
Aww!
“Big, uh… !!”
The shield is crushed and a tremendous destructive force hits my body.
Pain beyond imagination.
After experiencing the pain firsthand, I was able to realize it.
‘ah… The ruthless charge effect… ‘
[Relentless Charge] does not only have the effect of ignoring physical attacks when charging.
It also had the effect of being able to pour twice as much power on the opponent if the charge was successful.
Although it was not a deceptive effect due to various restrictions, it was a very destructive effect if successful.
In addition, when a monster with an enormous ability called A-class used it, its power was doubled.
It even broke through [Iron Wall Defense] and gave me a blow, so I’m done talking.
Thanks to you, my body was becoming a wreck.
– That, ugh… .
Of course, Red Drake wasn’t completely normal either.
The two magical attacks I had prepared in advance worked.
His mane was burning in flames, and his body twitched and looked constrained, as if he had been electrocuted.
Obviously, there is no magic immunity gimmick, and because it is a monster focused on charge and attack power, it is vulnerable to magic attacks.
– Whoa… !!
Red Drake rushes to me again.
I caught the guy’s movements straight in my eyes.
Although [Lizard’s Scale] and [Becoming Harder] left behind, it’s probably impossible to block him with your own body.
I just blocked it with a shield and felt it piercingly.
Even if you stop it somehow, the damage will be huge.
In the end, I had to avoid it.
After evading at the very edge somehow with [Agile Movement], you have to use your magic attack and ultimate skills to finish it off.
One time if my prediction is correct.
If you give it one more proper attack like this…
I thought I could beat him.
“Come, lizard cub.”
I looked straight at him for him.
Without missing a single moment of the assault movement.
To be sure to avoid at the end of the last.
-Groo… !!
So Red Drake looks at me and charges like crazy.
I just watched him stop moving…
uh?
… stopped movement?
“what.”
Dust and stone debris from the sudden stop covered Red Drake’s surroundings.
suddenly stopped
After ‘turned around’, it stopped.
Literally.
The man’s fierce charge stopped in place.
And he looked me straight in the eye.
He was shaking all over his body.
Like…
It’s like having a ‘stiff’ state.
“What is this bastard?”
That look so absurd.
I forgot to counterattack and spoke to myself for a while.
Why the hell is this?
