‘ There are spiritual beings who refused to submit to God, and there were also beings who swore allegiance to God on the contrary. People called them angels .’
’ The denominations of each country claimed that angels had beautiful shapes and had compassionate hearts toward humans. However, if you actually receive an angel, you will know that it is a blatant lie .
You can’t miss it Their appearance is not much different from demons, and their attitude towards humans is also close to indifferent. The only difference is that we obey God’s command and act as his will …’
It was the contents of a note that Andrea had found while playing the game before. Perhaps if Emilia saw that note, she would be horrified saying it was blasphemy. However, Andrea knew that this was the closest to the angelic truth .
The boss monster that appeared on the
50th floor was unconditionally one of the angels, and there was not a single being who was generous to humans .
‘··· Still, that guy is a bit particularly picky. I wasn’t so lucky .’
The figure of the black knight with black wings is only half. That angel had one more form, but the second form was so tricky that it was an enemy with a difficulty that could be counted on one hand .
There was no expectation in the first place that he would look after him just because he was an angel of the Shadow God. Even if they entered the temple and accepted the blessings of a certain god, the angels did not easily perform the ‘test’ towards the challenger .
The black knight spread his hands and made a motion as if he was squeezing something. Then, it seemed like a black sphere was formed in my hand, and soon it turned into a three-pronged black flash and pierced the party’s deck .
Andrea frowned. I couldn’t avoid it, so it was an unpleasant pattern whenever I was hit .
‘ Isn’t it too much to shuffle 5 curse cards right after the start …’
Because of that pattern, Black Knight was a superstar for players with thin decks or decks that had to be cycled infinitely. Andrea groaned inwardly, but quickly took a card out of the deck .
Defensive Strike, Fortitude, Curse of the Necronomicon, and …
‘[ Curse] Shadow Curse: Take 5 damage. There is a low probability of being blinded .’
It was the card the black knight had just put in. There are small scratches on the skin .
‘ This is… an important card, but it doesn’t mean anything right now .’
After frowning and casting a curse, use Fortitude. I enjoyed the feeling of being doubled in strength, albeit weakly .
Emilia played three cards in a row. This was unexpected even for Andrea, as Arpan did not directly grant her trials, so Emilia’s maximum mana and the number of cards she drew did not decrease. She passed on the buffs she used on herself to the party .
“ A strong shield! Skin of steel !”
Spells that increase armor and resistance respectively. Tricia and Andrea felt a hard film around them that was incomparable to a ‘defense’ card. The skin was also hardened to the point where it was easy to get rid of the fragile skin and hit it with a stone .
‘ As expected, if you play multiplayer, there is no job as strong as the Priest class .’
In the meantime, the black knight flapped his wings and soared into the sky. As the swaying giant wings covered the sky, it was as if a curtain had been drawn over the red stage .
Trisha pulled out and used ‘quick movement’ from the first turn. In addition, the attack speed increase option of ‘Wasteland Tracker’s Outfit’ is stacked. Then, I felt the time passing slowly around me. Trisha realized that her movements were sucked into nonsense .
Paeng – Paeng – Paeng –
A series of shots were fired at the black knight. The parts hit by the armor bounced off, but the parts hit by the wings dug into the black film. The balance of the body that has emerged is shaken for an instant, and the eyes burn even more red for an instant .
The black knight flapped his wings loudly, then leaned forward, extended his sword, and charged at Trisha. The blade imbued with magical power burned black .
It was swift, but not impossible to cope with. Not to mention, Tricia is in a state where she uses ‘quick movements’. Trisha backed away without hesitation. Andrea took over the position .
Chae-Aeng !
Black magic that was offset and scattered into the air. Andrea, who successfully parried at the right time, immediately dug into the black knight and wielded the polar dawn. Since there is no shadow imprint, it was difficult to deliver an effective blow …
Stroke Geek – Damn it !
When the iron plate was scraped down, Frost Bite was activated and a pile of ice clung to the Dark Knight’s armor. When a cumbersome hump formed, it slowed down with the movements of the black knight. Taking advantage of the gap to shake off the ice by rubbing it with his forearm, he struck again .
Booung – Pooh !
However, at some point this time, he was blocked by the wings that wrapped around the black knight. The surface of the wing pierced like a shadow, but there was something like a hard core inside. Andrea turned around to prepare for a counterattack .
Pasasac !
As he spread his wings, shadows in the shape of feathers flew everywhere. It was a shadow sharpened like a blade with magical power. It was a wide attack, so it was difficult to avoid all of them .
Whoosh – whoosh –
Fortunately, thanks to the stacked defenses, no one was immediately harmed. When it seemed that the attack would continue for a long time, Emilia used the diligently drawn card .
“ Hangma barrier !”
Quaguagua !
The purple earth cracked and a thick silver barrier rose. Its durability was insufficient to block physical projectiles such as rocks, but it was a wall that could reliably block magical projectiles such as the current attack .
Tick! Tick! Tick !
Andrea took advantage of that gap and drew a card. This time, the curse
A card came out .
‘[ Curse] Grasp of Death: If you collect 5 of these cards in your deck, you will die .’
A cold sweat broke out. It was a curse card that exerts the worst and worst effect when 5 cards are gathered .
Since the curse cards that the black knight shuffles into the deck were random, there is a real chance of winning the lottery and being struck by lightning on the way home .
‘ But rather, I’m glad this card came out now. It’s a curse card with no penalty until 5 cards are gathered .’
If I were to say a penalty, would it be that it gives me psychological anxiety that I might die? It was not a big deal to Andrea, who had crossed the threshold of real death many times, but .
Remove the curse and use shadow imprint, defensive strike, and defense. Now the pain digging into the back of my hand was tolerable .
As all of the attacks were blocked, the black knight was retracting his wings. Andrea jumped over the barrier and rushed at the black knight. I was thinking of trying a new strategy .
‘ Polar Dawn is light, so it’s hard to give an effective blow, and Earth Grinder’s Hammer is heavy, so it’s hard to parry. If so …’
In Andrea’s hand holding the handle, she held a hammer card. The black knight lowered his stance and fixed his sword. A dark-colored blade aimed at the waist. Andrea turned her sword blade and parried the attack at the right timing .
Chae-Aeng !
The formidable power of the black knight, reinforced with magical power, bounced off as it was struck. I was forced to retreat due to a short stupor. It was the moment Andrea was aiming for .
Andrea turned the polar dawn into a card and twisted her palm, summoning the earth crusher’s hammer in her hand. It was such an instant replacement that it looked like magic that turned a sword into a hammer if someone unfamiliar saw it .
‘ I practiced it when I got the counterattack bracelet, but I can switch like this after all .’
One corner of the mouth slightly rising. It was the moment to counterattack. The violent hammer head gave the black knight a heavy shock .
Kwa-ang !
A shock wave occurred. A black knight rolling on the floor about half a turn. He quickly got down on his knees and touched the floor to avoid falling. It couldn’t prevent a corner of the armor from being distorted, but .
A red glow that burns more vividly. Anger crept into his eyes. Left eye light that flashes brightly twice. The black knight knelt down, held the sword upside down and held it high. Andrea turned around and shouted .
“ Now! Run !”
Whoa- oh !
As the black knight slammed his sword on the ground, black waves spread in a circle. A pattern in which if you stand still and get hit by a wave, you will suffer severe damage and abnormal conditions .
‘ That’s why you have to keep an eye on it. No matter what pattern this guy uses, the foreshadowing appears in his eyes .’
It was a pattern that everyone knew beforehand. Everyone in the party jumped up according to Andrea’s instructions, and no one was affected by abnormal conditions .
Trisha perfectly remembered that there was a short deal time after using this pattern. After using the explosive arrow, aim carefully toward the gap between the helmets, and the arrow pierces through the wind .
The arrow dug into the gap precisely .
Kwa-ang !
Black steam flowed from the Dark Knight’s helmet like blazing fire. This attack must have been quite shocking, so the black knight staggered and couldn’t keep his balance. Andrea was not going to miss this opportunity .
bang! bang !
After hitting one side of the helmet, take advantage of the moment when the body is tilted and hit the other side. I tried to contain the hammering that followed with an ink-colored knife, but it was a meager resistance because my body was already damaged .
bang! bang! Kwa-ang !
Just as the helmet was terribly distorted and the black steam was about to burn completely .
The black knight threw down his sword and stretched out his hand to the sky .
Then the world turned upside down .
The crimson sky turned blue, and the purple earth turned yellow-green. The black knight, who was covered in black, was tinged with pure white light .
A bizarre appearance, as if the colors of the world were completely reversed. It was something I was prepared for, but it was not easy to suppress my panic when it came .
‘… The directing when moving to phase 2 is amazing .’
Andrea deliberately manages her fear by thinking that it is the same as the directing in the game. I wanted to turn my head and examine the complexion of the other party, but I couldn’t move my body in this state .
In the reversed world, only the black knight in front could move. An absolute being who irrationally swims alone in stopped time. The shadow god’s angel slowly rose and prepared to reveal his true form .
The neck snapped bizarrely. No, actually, I didn’t really break my neck. It just twisted sideways along with his expanding body. The joints of the armor were loosely opened, and light green flesh protruded through the cracks .
Cooing, cooing. device geek. Quaggagak !
The armor soon burst, unable to withstand the swelling flesh. The flesh, which was nothing more than a disgusting organic matter, gradually swelled and changed into the shape of a gigantic four-legged beast. A white energy emanated from the holes that had been drilled here and there and wrapped around the flesh .
The reversed world has returned to its original color. Bright red eyes, sharp teeth, fur burning black, and a body the size of a house. Finally, the angel of the shadow god revealed his true form .
“ Kurrurer ….”
The loyal watchdog of Khalysis, the moon-devouring wolf, the remnant of the dark fang… There are many names to choose from, but to choose the most intuitive one, Shadow Beast .
The mighty life of a beast that has lived by devouring everything except God made the spine stand upright. A feeling of intimidation that cannot even be compared to when he was a black knight. I had faced an enemy with overwhelming momentum before, but this time it was on a different level .
Anxiety spreads like deadly poison among the party. Trisha sneaked up to Andrea’s side .
“ Andrea… we can beat that ?”
Unknowingly, the word ‘not easy’ almost came out. Andrea quickly put the words under her tongue. As the leader of the party, he had to be resolute no matter what opponent he faced .
It certainly wasn’t that there was no way to catch it. It’s extremely difficult… and if the plan goes awry, you’ll have to throw yourself into hell once …
Andrea held her breath and drew a card from the deck. The long-awaited card was drawn. With ancillary cards that can be used appropriately .
Even if this isn’t a definite answer to Trisha’s question, wouldn’t it be tidy to open the way for it ?
“ Yes, I can win .”
Isn’t it right to fight a tooth for a tooth and a beast for a beast? Andrea immediately played the drawn card in succession .
Amplify mana, and immediately summon Fel Hounds .
A crimson summoning circle drawn with flying sparks. A red beast with a stern appearance and a massive body slowly revealed its appearance. Even though it may be inferior, the shadow beast did not lose the fighting spirit to stand up to the enemy .
Andrea said softly, stroking the foreleg of the hellhound .
“ Go, hellhound. Give that dark bastard some taste of inferno .”
“ Kong! Kung !”
The dog guarding the Burning Hells obeyed its master’s command and gallantly charged at the Shadow Beast .
