208 – Lucifer Guides Evil – 3
The spear has traditionally been the most recommended weapon for beginners in the Brünül series.
There is also a point that it is the only weapon group that can attack with the shield raised, and it has a very long reach, so it is perfect for an attack that ‘I can reach you but you can’t’.
There was even an anchovy term referring to newbies who did not develop their skills at all by choosing their past as a knight, holding a shield with a physical cut of 100, then wearing heavy armor and spearing behind the shield.
Of course, I hadn’t even heard of the scam.
As far as I know, up to Brün 1 was enough to be called a scam, but every time the production company released a sequel, they gave it a small nerf. Like toughness, or attack speed when guarding.
Still, the fact that you can attack from behind the shield and the enormous reach of the weapon itself have not changed, so even in Brunet 4, one by one on the list of recommended weapons for beginners used to be on the list.
Then, what would happen if the boss attacked with a lich holding an enormous spear even if the player heard it?
ㅡCoooung!
The correct answer is, ‘The scope is so wide that I can’t even approach it properly’.
The roots of the trees were intertwined with each other, and Lucifer, who had grown to twice my height before I knew it, swung the spear in his hand in all directions.
It was actually more like a cone with a handle than a spear. In addition, the length was filthy long, so the attack range was in all directions.
When Lucifer was about the same height as me, he looked like he was well over 3m tall, but as he grew taller, the length of his spear also increased, so now I wondered if it would be over 6m no matter how small I set it.
After confirming that he was pushing the spear forward, I dug in. Even though he rolled twice, he was still far from the wingless nightmare. The difference in reach was too great.
While I was estimating the remaining distance, he swung the spear sideways. He was more like a whistle than a whip, but that alone was intimidating enough.
I jumped off the ground to avoid being swept away. Lucifer, who immediately broke the spear, created a new spear in his hand, and he changed it to a thrust as if he had never attacked the bottom.
As soon as I threw it in the air, the recoil pushed my body for a long time and landed on the ground.
I expected this far. That spear was not a fixed weapon, but something that could be dismantled and recreated at will. There were quite a few patterns like that in the game.
‘It’s like this again.’
However, the other was unexpected.
Inwardly I got irritated and got up. Lucifer was poised to attack at any moment with his spear pointed at me.
But it was Nigawa who was doing that. As if they were waiting for me to fall out of my pool.
At first, he obviously jumped first. The problem is that he was unilaterally attacked by me and beaten up a few times, and he has been like that ever since. It seemed that he had no intention of closing the distance at all.
In the game, it was a boss with a reputation for being the final boss of a DLC, with a very damn difficulty, a terrifying combo attack pattern enough to do an aerial combo against the player, and a crazy belligerence that didn’t even give you time to drink a potion. Some kind of strange hybrid was born with a spear quality.
The moment I try to close the distance, a check comes in with a stab, then I have to either dodge or deflect the attack by rolling. While I’m doing that, he’s backing away, widening his distance.
This is my first time. Like other enemies I’ve met so far, it felt like he was putting his own survival first, rather than rushing at him with all his might to kill me regardless of whether or not he died.
‘…… In fact, I wonder if that’s a normal way of thinking.’
Rather than rushing to kill me as if giving up one’s own life, it seemed much more normal to attack within the line of taking one’s own life in moderation.
From my point of view, it’s like f*cking a game, even if it’s something that makes a lot of noise.
‘Yes. Let’s see if you don’t attack me like this.’
Changed a wingless nightmare into a magic attribute. If it doesn’t come from there, then I don’t have to go either. And the wingless nightmare’s special ability included a long-distance check.
No matter how low the mana consumption was, it wouldn’t be possible to shoot infinitely, but it didn’t matter.
The other side doesn’t know that.
I aimed the tip of my sword at him and condensed mana into the blade. In the 1st and 2nd phases, which are covered with tree roots like that, damage is properly received by other attacks other than divine attacks.
Of course, the damage of the holy attack is the greatest, but the key was that the damage could be done anyway.
Blue mana began swirling around the blade that turned blue. The whirlpool soon turned into a whirlwind that was clearly visible.
Lucifer sensed that something big was coming and rushed right away, but keeping the distance so far was rather poisonous. My special attack was one beat faster.
Holding the wingless Nightmare horizontally, I pulled his right shoulder back, then lunged forward at him. A whirlpool of blue mana stretched towards him.
It was the whirlwind that shredded the damn blue little train about a third.
A blue mana storm that stretched forward, sucking in all the heat and air around it, rushed head-on into Lucifer.
As if he had judged that the time it took for the whirlwind to reach him was faster than the time it took for the spear to pierce me, he stopped and blocked the attack with his spear.
ㅡQuaguaguagwang!
A violent explosion erupted as the tree roots collided with the whirlwind.
Of course, there was no practical effect, and the whirlwind scattered into the air, only making the tip of the spear slightly blunt. The blunted tip of the spear immediately returned to its original state, so it could be seen that it was truly ineffective.
“Don’t you dare? Shall we try one more time?”
With those words, I once again launched a whirlwind. This time, he chose to dodge rather than block it head-on. A torrent of mana cut through the air in vain.
Next. Immediately, a third whirlwind flew in. In the meantime, he must have gotten used to dodging, and he avoided the whirlwind with much less movement than before. The whirlpool sucked up the poor floor.
Still no effect. At least right now.
“If you’re going to avoid it all day, that’s it. Because I can use this all day long. If you shoot until you die, you will die too.”
As the blue whirlpool continues to entwine around the wingless nightmare, it sprints to the ground as if it thought it could no longer be avoided.
Even if I continued to spread the distance, it seems that I decided that such an action would be useless if I had a long-range attack method that could be used from a longer distance than a spear.
I completely missed it.
I changed the attribute of the nightmare that lost its wings at the moment he rushed at me according to the number of targets I aimed at. A brilliant light mixed with gold and silver emanated from the blade.
Finally, for the first time in a long time, the distance between him and the wingless nightmare has narrowed. It seems that Lucifer tried to narrow it down to roughly the length of the spear, but I can’t put it that way.
From noble mtl dot com
A familiar figure appeared. The length of the spear was shortened to about his height, and instead of sweeping a wide range long, it was changed to a shorter sweep range and more sweeps instead.
It was a combo pattern that I saw in the game.
‘Poke.’
First came the standard stabbing. When I bounced it off, he casually raised his spear as if to repeat the previous thrust.
Of course, it’s wrong.
I counted the beats in my mind, and only after retorting did I wield the wingless nightmare. The tip of the spear bounced sideways as it hit the blade that emitted divine light.
Lucifer struck his shoulder as soon as the spear snapped to the side and his body was half turned. Empty! I threw it away with a clatter and stabbed the knife right away. Several tree roots were cut and fell to the ground.
As if he didn’t even care about that, his legs were half raised. It is a stamping pattern. Quite surprisingly, that too was a pattern that could be deflected.
Large, bumpy soles slammed the ground. Just in time for shockwaves and dust to sway in all directions, he swung the nightmare that had lost its wings against the dust cloud.
The shock wave and dust veered to the side as if wrapping around my body.
It’s not over yet. Immediately after striking down his left foot, Lucifer took a step forward with his right foot and swung the spear from bottom to top. The top and bottom of the window, which had been facing upward, flipped at some point.
The roots of the tree that made up the spear moved toward the other end at an incredible speed. Lucifer, who had taken on the appearance of holding a spear upside down, slammed it down.
I dodged it by taking a step to the side. A huge pillar slammed down right next to his shoulder. As the tip of the spear dug into the floor, the floor gurgled.
Instead of pulling out the spear stuck in the floor, he chose to swing his left arm. New roots sprouted wildly, and his left arm enlarged several times.
His left arm, which had grown several times that size, swept away the nearby land as if spreading a net. I was thinking about how to avoid that, and jumped like a standard way.
While I was floating in the air, a tree root swept me down, and I landed on the floor and slashed him through the chest. Again, the roots of the tree were cut in chunks.
Even in the game, hitting Lucifer in Phase 1 and Phase 2 caused the tree roots to fall, so it wasn’t surprising.
Right after landing, I immediately lifted up the nightmare that had lost its wings. Light gathered in the sword body, and when he struck his arm vertically, a pillar of light pierced it and hit the guy’s head.
I thought the special ability worked here as well. The pillar seemed to have come down from the sky here too, but it was a loss to think about how this was possible.
Anyway, no answer came out. Now, instead of worrying about why, it was enough to accept the fact that it is.
‘This time, the abilities haven’t been amplified.’
I thought so as I drove my sword into Lucifer’s thigh, who was staggering after being hit in the head by his pillar.
Lucifer was definitely a demon, so I did it just in case, but the pillar of light was never amplified like when I was dealing with Behemoth. It was unclear whether he didn’t help or if he couldn’t help because it was hell.
While I was thinking about this, its abdomen opened up and down, and grotesque wriggling tree roots protruded from between them.
I opened the distance right before my stomach bit the front like a mouth. The tree roots that bit the air with a big bite returned to their original places.
ㅡ I will ask again. Do you have any intention of following the true God?
After that, he was standing still in place, so he was nervous about casting Nigawa again, but his voice rang out.
“Is that sound again? I would have said no.”
ㅡWhy do you refuse to be saved? Really ignorant
With those words, huge wings made of tree roots spread out behind him. As if proving that the roots themselves were alive, they were constantly wriggling.
Originally, the wings were supposed to come out in phase 2, but now I’m not particularly surprised.
‘It’s too late to be surprised by that.’
In the yard where I saw the devil king of hell worshiping and worshiping the world eater as a god, I couldn’t even be surprised by the phase skip.
Lucifer is ready to attack again. Holding his spear upside down with the tip pointed at me, I pulled his shoulder back slightly and raised his wrist near his head, preparing to throw what was in his hand.
It was the pattern of throwing spears exactly as you see them, and it was also the opening pattern of phase 2. Phase 1 was skipped entirely.
The moment I was about to cast the ‘measure as ash’ magic at the right timing.
‘Wait a minute. Just now…… What was it?’
In the sky stained red with blood, eyes that were even more red than that passed by.
