45. raid start and end
As is the case with everything in the world, the transition to virtual reality has brought about a major upheaval in games. It is not simply a matter of quarter view or first-person point of view, but the gradually developing AI has caused the difficulty to rise rapidly. If past games moved monsters according to a set pattern, now a more intelligent pattern made it difficult for users.
In particular, this problem had a big impact on whether the monster was a wild animal type or a human type, and if the opponent was a human type, a higher AI was applied. Of course, the humanoid’s weaknesses were quite large. First of all, it was that the body was weak, but first of all, it had the same hit judgment as the user, so it was easy to raid if the weakness was perfectly exploited.
But would a boss be a boss for nothing?
[Boss] [Keldrian] [Level 50]
Damn! Zeng Zeng!
All attacks directed at the black magician were blocked by the black screen and scattered. Inside the black screen that completely protects the front of 360 degrees, he stands tall and looks this way. Of course, he didn’t just stand there defenseless.
Roaring!
Streams of flame are sprayed in all directions from the black sphere floating above the warlock’s head. Is it a perfect defense that denies access itself? Moreover, that was not the only means of attack for the black magician. A mass of dung-colored flesh called the Great Worm King, weighing dozens of tons, poured down toward the raid.
Kurururrururruruuk… … !
“Team 3! Lure it to 6 o’clock!”
“Yes!”
“Team 1! Back Attack!”
“failure! That warlock defense is killing me!”
“shit! I can’t get close!”
“Melee dealer back off!”
“You fool! Don’t approach the vampiric aura!”
One of the warriors approaching Keldrian swore and withdrew.
Ironically, the red aura surrounding Keldrian was a vampiric aura, a skill I used to use, but because of that, no one was able to approach Keldrian.
“Great Worm King! come!”
As in the current situation, the combination of a super-large boss with physicality and a humanoid boss could be said to be the strongest combination at first glance. It’s a situation where I can’t seem to find a place to attack, but… … .
“My heart is pounding. Kkeukkeuk!”
“Yaya! I’m still going, but don’t go too far!”
These guys look so happy.
The situation is not very good, but watching them get out of the way with agile movements shows how familiar they are with the game. And now I’m watching the raid from far away from them.
“shit… … .”
Originally, I should have been diligently putting in deals, but due to the worst compatibility between Keldrian and I, I became a spectator in the raid. There are many reasons, but the biggest one is… … .
“Rotten, come vampiric… … .”
His vampiric aura must have been a higher tier than mine, so after I put Earth Break in his head in the beginning, his vitality was sucked to the limit at once. What’s even worse is that in order to use Earth Break at full power, you have to cut your life force to less than half and go berserk, but if you accidentally suck blood in that state, the game will be out.
It’s a loss of face, but I apologized and fell behind, now I’ve fallen into the role of protecting Theo Lindston.
“Well, you’re doing fine without me.”
Currently, the raid party was in the process of collecting attack patterns from the Great Worm King and the warlock Keldrian. A full-fledged attack begins when new attack patterns no longer emerge. After completing the attack through the collected attack patterns, apply them on the spot to attack the boss.
A technique that only the highest level of raids can do. Occasionally, sharp and heavy attacks are inserted one by one. The main characters of the attack were two level 60 wizard users, but they were definitely high level, so their magic power was extraordinary.
“Inferno!”
“Wind Bomb!”
When the two magics, which had become a matched combination, flew and stuck in the same place, they caused a great explosion and shook the Great Worm King. If the magic is compatible, it creates a synergy of 3 to 4, not 1 + 1 = 2. It is the most commonly used combination of fire and wind, but the fact that it is used most often means that the synergy is good.
“Nice.”
Admiration ensues.
I’m in a position to use a sword, but when I get to a higher level, I’ll be able to use magic as well. If I develop my skill eater like this, I will have more than twice as many skills as others. Of course, there is a premise that you will not die, but if you grow well, you will have much more options than others. Somehow, the character has become like the protagonist of a roguelike game, but so far I have no complaints.
“It seems that everything came out in moderation. The question is, what is the next phase… … .”
Usually, the boss phase is divided into 3 stages. The first stage is the current state, and the second stage is the stage where the boss uses its strength in earnest. In the last 3 stages, the boss feels life threatening and uses all skills. At this time, the key is to kill the boss quickly by pouring deals with full power.
Manager Lee, who plays the role of raid leader, entered a full-fledged raid after a while, probably having a similar idea.
“Let’s start slowly. Team 3 keeps the Great Worm King in check, and the rest attack the Warlock!”
“Yes!”
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!
A full-scale boss attack has begun. As if the previous attack was a joke, all kinds of skills trampled on the boss, and each time the Warlock and the Great Worm King faltered backwards. A definite pushing situation! However, after about 10 minutes, when the second phase began, casualties occurred for the first time in the raid.
“Kueee!”
“Ahh!”
“Oooh!”
The five members of the engineering team, who were approaching the strong acid breath that the Great Worm King vomited, were out on the spot. The attacking party paused for a while. Even though it was a boss attack, he could not resist and died while receiving various buffs and heals. furthermore… … .
[Mass Rise Dead]
“Turn it off… … .”
When the five lights fired from the black magician’s hand hit the dead users, after a while they were enveloped in a black aura and staggered to their feet, and three nearby dealers lost their lives in an instant with their swords.
“Undead!”
“Clean up!”
Along with Manager Lee’s resolute cry, the five were hacked to pieces.
“healer! When you find a corpse, you have to purify it right away! Support team 2 to team 3 and raise the deal to full force!”
“Yes!”
The raid was shaken for a while by the black magician’s strong resistance, but Lee proceeded with the raid without any shaking. That’s how I safely passed the 2nd phase and now it’s the final 3rd phase. And the beginning of Phase 3 was much more lethal than before.
“Obey. Unlucky Barak Rageniad!”
As the warlock’s cape spread wide and dozens of black lines spurted out and connected to the raid members, their weapons, which had been dealing extreme damage at the warlock, began to swing toward their comrades. The three who were attacked in vital points by surprise died on the spot.
“It is a wide-area delusion! Dispel!”
At Director Lee’s cry, the wizards in the rear cast a dispel at the engineering corps members connected by a black line. But… … .
“No dispel!”
Wow!
“Heuk!”
“shit!”
The two healers and seven ranged dealers who were avoiding the attacks of their colleagues were hit by the Great Worm King’s breath and melted on the spot. The magicians cast a series of dispels, but the fascination was not resolved.
“Heuk!”
“Ah!”
Another 6 engineers were killed in the attack of 10 people. As two healers were out, they couldn’t handle the amount of healing.
“Team 3! annihilation!”
“Damn it got dirty! I can’t help it! Ignoring all the enchanted engineering members, the biggest deal from now on!”
Along with the cry of “Extreme Deal,” colorful lights emanated from the bodies of the engineers. Each of them uses their maximum skills, and as powerful as they are, the cooldown is long, so they can only be used once during the raid, so they have been cherishing them until now.
Wow! Bang bang bang!
Dozens of destructive beams and auras hit the Great Worm King and the Warlock, but the two wizards who used fire and wind stood out the most.
“Sweep everything. tornado!”
“I’ll burn them all! Hellfire!”
Kurrrrrrr!
The gigantic body, which could have weighed dozens of tons, was caught in a storm and floated into the air, and the ultimate Hellfire merged into the storm.
wii yi… … .
Eventually, the condensed flame inside turns into ultra-high heat and develops into the ultimate super-heat magic… Turned the Great Worm King into a well-cooked lump of charcoal.
Flaw! Jigsaw Jigsaw!
The situation was not good for the warlock either. The black shield that covered his entire body eventually withstood the storm of flames, but after the shield disappeared, what awaited him was the sharpened blades of melee users who raised their aura to full power. It was a move that perfectly dug into the weakness of close combat, the biggest weakness of humanoid bosses.
“Get lost!”
“Just die!”
Wow! Kwajik!
The warlock’s entire body was slashed by dozens of melee dealers, and the raid ended completely with his head and body torn into five pieces.
Kakak! Aww!
[You have succeeded in the ancient black magician Keldrian raid.]
* * *
The success reward that came along with the notification that the raid was successful made everyone happy.
“I won!”
“Wow!”
Those who were seduced also enjoyed the joy of embracing their comrades as if the magic had been lifted. A whopping 26 out of 40 raiders were out, but it was a finish that could be said to be a small damage for a boss raid they faced for the first time. But… That joy didn’t last long.
Wow!
“Huh!”
“Ahh!”
The Great Worm King, who was thought to be dead, covered over the torn body of Keldrian and soon began to shudder and shrink.
puffed up… Budeuk… Quad deuk… … .
After a while, the corpse’s head, which had been wriggling as if it were alive, split as if it were about to explode, and a clot of blood flew into the air. A black aura wrapped around the gore, which could be said to be hideous just by looking at it, and soon transformed into a human figure wearing a black robe.
“Damn it… … .”
“This is a scam.”
[Boss] [Homunculus Keldrian] [Level 30]
[Raid Quest] Kill Homunculus Keldrian.
-Reward: EXP 10,000 exp, Rare~Legendary Skill Draw Ticket x1
A new raid quest appeared, but no one was happy about it.
“It’s the second round. You scumbag humans.”
It was the homunculus of the warlock, Keldrian, whose limbs had been ripped off by the raid a while ago. Although it is a deteriorated version because the level has dropped so much, Manager Lee’s face is a little puzzled when the boss, who had been attacked for an hour, is revived again.
“It’s the worst pattern.”
Although the level of the boss has dropped, the raid is in poor condition. It was his mistake as a conductor who did not anticipate this situation. Of course, there were no bosses with resurrection skills. Although very rare, the elder liches, who are the highest rank among the undead, have the resurrection skill, and Keldrian has resurrected in the form of a homunculus.
[unclean body]
[Book of Blazing Destruction]
The unclean body in the shape of a skeleton is a debuff that curses all melee dealers that attack by half of the amount of healing received, and the Blazing Stand of Destruction is a buff that increases all attack magic damage by 100%. The vampiric aura disappeared, but a more difficult magic was applied. Besides, Keldrian’s magic was not over yet.
“Obey. Unlucky Barak Rageniad!”
The five retreating warriors were hit by the black rays fired from the fingertips of the homunculus, Keldrian, and shuddered before rushing at the raiders with black light in their eyes.
Chae Chaeng!
“Wide Seduction… … .”
Director Lee spat out swear words and blocked the knife of the engineer who had been dazzled in the same area. 16 out of 40 remained, and 5 of them were caught in a wide-area dazzle and turned into enemies.
“Damn it… … .”
Although there are many unpredictable monsters in Seion, I never imagined that there would be a boss who would spoil the raid in this way. That was when the word annihilation came to his mind. Someone passed him and ran forward.
“K?”
A completely unexpected intrusion!
The charge, which could only be called reckless, was blocked by five warriors.
Wow!
An aura rose from the five weapons. Although it is a puppet, its attack power remains the same.
Shuak! Shuka Cak!
The five moved as one body and attacked him. A situation where it looks like it will be hacked at any moment! However, Kay evaded the five’s attacks with incredible movements, and ran past them and headed straight for Keldrian. In an instant, Keldrian’s magic shoots at him who is close by.
“Death Ray.”
Death Ray is the fastest of all anti-personnel attack magic. But… … .
Pod!
Tsukeok!
Kay’s sword, which escaped the magic with unbelievable fantastic movements, cut off his arm at the same time… Spinning in the air, he slashed his sword at Keldrian’s head.
“Earth Break!”
