Episode 228 – Fallen Angel
If I had to sum up the current situation in one word, I could sum it up like this.
We are screwed.
There are more bosses that appear in front of us than the number of people in our party. Even with all the blessings of the demon god.
The boss monster on the 9th floor is not very strong. Even if I received the demon’s blessing, I could win on my own.
However, starting from the boss on the 10th floor, the level is different. Even if you don’t receive the demon’s blessing, it’s a bit difficult to fight alone.
However, the boss monsters from the 10th to 15th floors are all rushing towards us with the blessing of the demon god.
No matter how much I think about it, we are screwed now.
“Everyone prepare for battle!”
There is no place to run to. If you waste time in this glacier area, the stamina of children who are weak to the cold, like Scarlett and Dina, will only decrease.
Now that you have a little bit of stamina, you have to fight with all your might to have a chance.
Now is not the time to conserve strength or train.
I roughly threw away the long sword, took out Durandal, which I had been forging in my chest, and held it in my hand.
I feel like my will is being filled.
Perhaps Stia had the same thought, so she threw away the sword she was holding and summoned Astra.
The starlight armor she hasn’t seen in a long time instantly embraces her body, and golden flames bloom.
On the surface, Jasangnam is the only tank in our party, but in reality, Stia and I should be at the forefront.
Stia has absolute defense power made up of Astra, and I also have excellent regenerative power as well as her defense power is not low.
“Let’s go!”
Stia and I kick off the ground at the same time and run towards the front.
From behind, I could feel Dina starting to cast her magic.
Boss monsters on the 11th floor and above must be handled by Stia and I. It took a while to leave the boss on the 10th floor to other kids, but… If we were to take on the boss of the 10th floor, there would be a risk that we would be harmed.
Sreung!
You can also hear the sound of Cania drawing her sword in the background and Ceria and Celie preparing for battle.
“aaah! “What the hell is going on?”
Scarlett also seems to have picked up Zweihender belatedly.
Dina will provide support mainly on that side, so she doesn’t have to worry too much.
Collect your mind and look straight ahead.
Stia and I have to deal with a total of 4 animals.
A guy who resembles a space octopus that flies and shoots beams from a famous game, and a monster that looks like the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a devil.
These two guys don’t even know their real names.
The most important thing is the remaining two guys, so it doesn’t matter.
14Th floor boss ‘Nightmare’. When you hear this guy’s name, doesn’t something come to mind? Right. Among the Four Heavenly Kings, there is one called Nightmare.
He is also the guy I had a fierce fight with last time.
Of course, this does not mean that the Four Heavenly Kings were inside the Tower of Babel.
‘Nightmare’ is not the original name of a demon, but the name of a position.
A title given to those who live at the top of the demon race that controls dreams and illusions.
That is the nightmare.
So, to put it simply, this guy in front of me right now is the ancestor of the ‘nightmare’ I fought. It’s a replica.
‘As far as I know, he has similar skills to the Four Heavenly Kings Nightmare.’
If this guy doesn’t have divinity, he can’t win on his own. If you fight together with Stia, you may have a hard time winning.
However, there is one more boss monster that is stronger than the nightmare.
‘Fallen Angel’, the boss monster on the 15th floor, the last layer.
When you think of a fallen angel, it has an appearance that immediately comes to mind.
The appearance of a young woman and the wings of an angel dyed black. A huge greatsword in one hand. The height is about 180cm, similar to that of a human.
If he hadn’t received the Demon God’s protection, it would be difficult to beat him in his current state, even if Stia and I stick together.
Moreover, we will never be able to win as long as the space octopus, demons, and ancestral nightmares are targeting us.
Originally, the most important thing to beat these guys was Dina’s help….
Dina is busy helping her Scarlet side. Because without her help, that place will be killed in no time.
‘So our goal is to take time in the end.’
Until Dina helps you deal with all the bosses up to the 10th floor.
After that, he joins forces with his colleagues to capture the fallen angel. That’s the plan.
To be honest, it is a difficult plan to achieve, but at this point, there is no better plan than this.
Stia is probably thinking the same thing as me and preparing to fight.
Then suddenly. A thought occurred to me as I was dodging the laser beams shooting out of the space octopus’ eyes.
‘Taking time away?’
Why?
No, there is a reason. Because they are enemies that are difficult for both of us to defeat.
But… It can’t be done like this forever. You can’t overcome it by using all your strength.
Our goal is to kill the demon god.
We need to become much, much stronger than we are now.
You must win, not waste time.
‘Overwhelmingly.’
Kuuk. The hand holding Durandal gained strength.
“Stia.”
“… Why?”
“We have to win. “Just the two of us.”
“… Okay.”
I am not the only one who wants to become stronger. Because Stia also wants to become stronger.
We decided to try everything we had.
‘If you don’t become stronger, the world will be destroyed by the demon god.’
We collide with the determination to die. I decided that if I couldn’t become stronger, I would rather die here.
To do that, there is only one thing we need to think about.
Divine star.
We will make the power of divinity ours at the end of this fight.
Paaa!
As if responding to my will, light emanates from Durandal!
Purple magic power, magic power similar to the color of Dina’s eyes, surrounds the entire body, and the shape of the body begins to change.
Yong In-hwa.
Horns grow and wings sprout. The physique has become slightly larger. It felt as if magical power as hot as lava was stirring in my chest, demanding to be let out.
Kiiiiing—!
Magical power gathers right in front of the mouth. Dina’s Breath of Power.
The space octopus’ eyes shine and gather magical power, as if it is trying to fight me.

However, it is no use.
The breath it spat out swallowed up the space octopus’ beam as if it were ridiculous, and even hit the creature.
Part of the eye is dented as if it had been cut out with a knife.
The space octopus is in pain as it swings its tentacles wildly. That pain is over now.
Boom!
Stia, who stepped forward and was launched, swung the sword made of Astra’s starlight.
Not just once. Dozens, hundreds of times.
In an instant, the swung space octopus’s tentacles were shattered into pieces, and it finally stuck its sword in the center of its eye.
The basic tactic of fighting at a disadvantage.
It reduces the enemy’s power little by little. Take out the weakest enemy first, then the second weakest one.
That way, you deal with the strongest one last.
It is the basic of basics.
Even if you try to kill the strongest guy from the beginning, you will only be hindered by other guys.
Of course, that doesn’t mean they will wait until the strongest one is left alone.
Kuung!
A fallen angel moves so fast that it appears blurry, and before we know it, he is behind Stia, swinging a huge great sword.
Stia crossed her arms and blocked the great sword, but the aftermath of the impact left the surrounding area devastated.
“Ugh….”
Moreover, as if there was no shock at all, Stia, who had blocked the attack once, stumbled for a moment.
‘It penetrated Astra’s defense and gave a shock.’
Although the arm was not cut off, it is impossible to fight with the same performance as just now.
So, until Stia recovered from her shock, I had to go even more extravagantly.
Kwazizijik!
I leave behind the space octopus that died from Stia’s attack, and the devil and nightmare come towards me. Just that alone causes the earth to twist and shake.
I looked at the guys, slightly lowered my posture and pointed the tip of my sword at the devil.
‘It’s been a while.’
When fighting the Four Heavenly Kings, Nightmare, he used his full strength, but it was not at full power.
Is this the first time since you gained acceptance?
In the first place, it took a while to swing with full force, so it was rare to use this technique in actual combat.
Unless they approach you slowly like now.
‘Thank you.’
Dark purple magic flows towards Durandal.
Spear of all-out effort.
As if I was throwing everything I had, I stabbed the sword in with all my might.
The purple magic fired like that becomes a spear that pierces anything.
Wow!
A large hole was created in the devil’s chest.
“Kru….”
He did not die from one blow. Is he really the boss of the 13th floor?
However, it is within the expected error range.
Whatever the case, the fact remains that he suffered serious injuries. When she glances out of the corner of her eye, she sees Stia staggering but somehow holding on against the fallen angel.
Only deal with the devil and join Stia.
Nightmare is not an opponent that can be defeated quickly.
I had a feeling it would be a long game.
