Chapter 297. < Episode 93. Desert King (6). >
16.
[The Desert King uses the Beast Transformation skill.]
Along with the notification heard right after the descent, the Desert King in front of Midas began to change his appearance.
Kudo deuk!
The desert king’s body began to swell like a balloon with the sound of flesh exploding and bones breaking.
The desert king’s body, which had been expanding infinitely, suddenly took the form of a huge lion.
Kr Kr Kr!
The King of the Desert, with its huge yet majestic appearance, roared as he looked down at what had been bothering him so far.
Heh heh!
From now on, I will trample on you little bastards like ants!
The roar of the King of the Desert, full of such will, reached not only Midas but also the viewers, and the viewers admired that fact.
– Oh, now the boss mob-like force is coming out.
– Boss mobs have to be big to feel.
Actually, it was not something to be admired.
The fact that the Desert King has now turned into a beast means that he has to do a new raid from now on.
– Rather than that, the tactics will be completely different from now on.
– yes. Starting with attack power, all stats would have been reset.
– Increased HP and defense.
Not only did everything he had done until now become meaningless, but the level of difficulty was bound to be higher than in previous raids.
It was because the level of tanking difficulty itself was different for tankers against large monsters.
The fact that the tanker feels the burden and takes the risk means that the dealer and healer are also at risk.
Clearly, in a normal case, tension should have been rampant in this situation.
That was the secret to BJ Grand Mage’s popularity.
“Do you want to go to a big fight?”
The method of the BJ great mage is so unique that it cannot be compared with any other general case.
“Then we have to go this way as well.”
Again, Midas faced off in a way that no one else could.
“Lucky Gold Silver! It’s gigantic!”
As soon as the shouting ended, Lucky, Gold, and Silver’s bodies also grew enormous.
– Right back!
– Look at the silver! Even if you stick with the desert king, you won’t be pushed back?
When Silver, who was the best among them, became gigantic, his size overwhelmed the Desert King.
Of course it was spectacular.
– I never thought I’d see a monster battle like this in God Wars.
A spectacle that cannot be easily seen anywhere.
‘I only like the visuals.’
Of course, Midas, who directed the spectacle, was well aware that this was not a very good way.
‘It’s much better to downsize to deal… … .’
Because Gold already knew the power of small things better than anyone else through his Miniaturization skill in the past.
It was the same even now.
It was definitely advantageous to deal with Gold and Lucky attacking in miniaturized mode while only Silver was enlarged.
Nevertheless, even Gold and Lucky became huge for two reasons.
One is that, as he himself said, the visuals are amazing.
‘Dealing is what I have to do.’
The other is that there is no problem finishing the raid without the better damage dealing of the lucky and gold.
‘Because the target has grown too.’
It’s a situation where it’s easier to fit as much as the size has grown right away.
‘Even if I throw a big explosion, there’s no way I’ll get caught up in it.’
Also, now, even if you cast a big explosion magic, Lucky and Gold didn’t have a big impact.
It means that you can use Big Explosion Magic without hesitation.
Actually, that was the biggest advantage.
Wasn’t the Big Explosion magic itself a popular magic with a short cooldown rather than powerful damage dealing in the first place?
It meant that from now on, the Big Explosion Magic could be used without rest.
“The desert king appears like that, so I have to go big too. I will use some powerful magic from now on.”
Midas generously revealed that will, and the viewers immediately noticed the intention.
– Now it looks like it’s going to cast magic properly.
– BJ Grand Mage’s firepower show has begun.
To such viewers, Midas brought out a magic other than fireball.
“Summon Frost Golem.”
– huh?
It’s none other than the magic of a golem.
thud!
The frost golem summoned like that willingly threw itself into the fight between the giant monsters.
“Shadow of Gareum.”
Even there, Midas did not stop and summoned Lucky’s shadow alter ego on the spot.
The moment when two giants who reveal a strong presence are added in an instant.
‘Now there is no Daegangha and the blade of darkness.’
From Midas’ point of view, it was an option that was not particularly burdensome.
No, far from being burdensome, it was rather a clear choice.
– Oh, isn’t this a little too much?
– The Desert King is also part of God Wars part!
– Let’s respect the boss monster’s monster rights.
– If you are a human, let’s raid a little more humanly.
– I can’t do it. From now on, I’m rooting for the King of the Desert.
It’s a very clear choice that makes viewers even cheer for the desert king with sympathy.
In other words, no one doubted that Midas would successfully complete this raid.
“Falling Star.”
And Midas made a definite end to the expectations of such viewers.
“A big explosion.”
A very definite end.
17.
[Sand Hell activates.]
– It’s Sand Hell!
– This is the final phase!
The moment Sand Hell, the last phase of the Desert King, was activated, the area within a radius of 300 meters around the Desert King turned into a sand swamp.
The moment when a sand hell unfolds that drags everything in that realm endlessly like a swamp.
It was a literal hell for melee damage dealer tanks.
Even the realm of that sand hell was moving with the King of the Desert whenever he moved.
It means that no melee position can be approached near the Desert King.
However, those who are watching this raid right now didn’t like that fact.
– It’s BJ Grand Mage One Man Show Time!
For viewers, this moment was nothing more and nothing less than the moment when BJ Grand Mage could play an active role perfectly alone.
Midas readily responded to the viewers’ thoughts.
“Everyone step back!”
The moment the sand hell unfolded, Midas, who had all of Lucky and Gold and Silver behind, started casting right away.
“Hellfire!”
The first start is Hellfire!
“Revolver and Blast Add One.”
It was followed by the Big Bang and Ad One.
[Hellfire has been summoned.]
Eventually, Midas, who made the first hellfire into the shape of a swallow, launched the hellfire.
Shih!
The Hellfire, which flew gracefully over the sand hell, soon began wandering around the King of the Desert.
[Casting is complete.]
And at the moment when the big explosion finished casting, Midas shouted once again, faster.
“Replay Blast.”
Second Blast Cast.
It was only then that viewers were able to grasp Midas’ intentions.
– Five big explosions!
– It’s a real explosion!
Using five Big Explosion Orbs at once!
“Saan!
At that time, Midas suddenly used evil magic.
– uh? matter? here?
– Why?
If it was Midas’ accuracy rate, you wouldn’t be able to hit it where you wanted without the eyepiece, right?
As soon as such questions filled the chat window, Midas began throwing the marbles of the explosion in his hand one after another.
One by one!
– All launch angles are different, right?
The marbles of the great explosion that left Midas’ hands had different parabolic angles.
‘It’s meaningless to just throw it, and it has meaning only when it hits at the same time.’
Hitting the King of the Desert almost simultaneously with five large explosion orbs was what Midas had prepared.
It was never easy.
‘I hope it’s worth practicing enough to throw up.’
A job that requires a lot of effort and preparation.
Of course, just because five hits hit at once didn’t mean that the damage dealt increased.
Whether you hit them sequentially or all at once, it is natural that the damage dealt that goes into the end is the same.
The difference was one.
that the visual level is different.
Shhh!
In the meantime, the Hellfire swallow, which was roaming the Desert King, rushed towards the Desert King, who was hardened like a stone statue.
[Hell’s flames cripple the corrupted Desert King.]
And an audible notification.
“Everyone get ready for a real big explosion.”
As if responding to the notice, the moment Midas’ shout was delivered to the viewers, the marbles of the great explosion that Midas threw touched the Desert King at the same time.
Kwakwagwagwang!
The power and explosion of the five large explosion marbles were very intense.
– omg!
Even those who prepared it were frightened.
Kwakwagwagwang!
Even the Midas explosion exploded twice.
– It’s a surprise!
– Wow, that’s no joke!
The chat window was also devastated as if it had been hit by a bomb due to the two big explosions that occurred in succession.
But the most shocking thing was what happened after that.
[You have killed the Desert King.]
– Oh my God, did you really catch it with this?
In the end, the hunt was completed with only the Big Explosion skill.
Even though the Desert King’s HP was below 10%, it was an unbelievable damage deal.
– Didn’t you say that the big explosion was a bit lacking in damage?
– How much is BJ Grand Mage’s intelligence stat?
It is possible only because he is a BJ great mage.
‘I thought it would be insufficient, but it’s done.’
In fact, Midas was also at an unexpected level.
‘I don’t need to use the Thunderbolt that I hid with Memorise.’
Of course, Midas did not express that fact.
“For my stats, this is enough. Everyone seems to be looking at me too funny, right?”
Rather than showing it, he continued his comments with an attitude that seemed to be natural.
“Okay, now that the raid is over, let’s clean up.”
Then, the broadcast continued skillfully.
First, Midas quickly ran towards the dead body of the King of the Desert.
“Item loot.”
After that, I started rooting the item right away.
[Item rooting begins.]
[One item has been added to the inventory.]
And Midas complained about the notification he heard.
“uh? one item? Are you kidding me?”
A question popped up in the chat window as a result of that dissatisfaction.
– I caught the desert king, but it’s an item? Are there usually three?
– what? is it a bug?
obviously weird.
However, Midas was to be expected.
Because I already knew Midas through the quest window.
‘Treasure of an unknown person.’
What is the reward for this quest?
“Looking at it, it’s not the desert king’s treasure.”
As expected, instead of the desert king’s treasure, Midas’ inventory was occupied by an unknown person’s treasure.
[Treasure of an unknown person]
!It is a treasure of an unknown person. It contains the relics of a nameless god.
Midas, who confirmed it, spoke immediately.
“It’s a quest-related item. I’ll open it later.”
Dissatisfaction appeared in the chat window at that comment, but it was unavoidable from Midas’ point of view.
‘If I start to explain things like this for no reason, the story leaks in a different way.’
There is no merit to be gained by disclosing it.
‘What I’ll show you today is the Desert King raid.’
And there was no need to give him more satisfaction than this.
Eating too much of delicious food can make you bloated.
‘I have to sort things out with the players.’
Above all, Midas needed to finish the story with the Munduk team who helped him right now.
‘So let’s go on a quest.’
Without such arrangements, it was impossible to proceed with the next quest.
“Then, from now on, I will say goodbye to the people who helped with the Desert King raid today.”
For that reason, Midas prepared to finish quickly.
‘This is the best way to finish.’
“Today we will vote for the MVP.”
MVP!
As soon as the most obvious word suitable for the end of the game was mentioned, viewers started voting instead of complaining.
– It’s Mundeok.
– To be honest, Munduk carried it.
– If it wasn’t for Munduk’s team, even BJ’s great mage would have worked hard!
Of course, the MVP chosen by the viewers was Moondeok, who became a rising star through this event.
Midas, too, did not question.
‘He’s a very grateful person.’
On the contrary, if you had to bow to Munduk, who led a team of over 2,000 people, you could do it.
If it wasn’t for his determination and determination, Midas would have had to endure a lot of blood loss in the fight with the soldiers before the Desert King raid.
“I got an answer. Then, the MVP will be Moondeok. Then I’ll go straight to the interview. Munduk-sama, please come out!”
After that comment, Mundok, who had been waiting in the distance, started walking towards Midas.
With a firmer expression than ever before.
– uh? Are you in a bad mood?
It was an expression that could be mistaken for anger.
Of course I wasn’t angry.
‘I can’t believe a day like this has come.’
When I wanted to give up countless times, but couldn’t, I was given a reward that exceeded what I had hoped for when I tried the last challenge because it was the most difficult.
The facial expressions that people can make were too limited to express all the emotions they felt in such a situation.
That was the reason for his hard expression.
Midas, who could not understand the meaning of Munduk’s expression, smiled deep inside.
‘It must be complicated.’
God Wars is the only rope left, but I know very well how it feels to see it rot and fall apart, and how it feels to grab a new rope and see the light in such a situation.
“Congratulations on being named the MVP of this event.”
“Ah yes. thank you.”
“You are too stiff. Lighten up your face. Isn’t it a good day? Ah, aren’t you upset about not catching the King of the Desert?”
“Oh no!”
Seeing Munduk hurriedly questioning him, Midas patted him on the shoulder and said,
“Then, tell the viewers a word about how you feel about becoming the MVP.”
“that is…. .
Then, at Midas’ proposal for an interview, Munduk froze as if speechless.
In the meantime, Midas looked at the audience’s reaction.
– I’m speechless.
– The atmosphere is down.
– You can’t do this.
Dissatisfaction towards the subdued atmosphere.
– I need to lighten the mood a bit. BJ Grand Mage give me the prize money properly!
– That’s right, if you become an MVP, you should give them a prize!
– It makes me feel bad because I just gave you a title!
That dissatisfaction soon turned into a demand for prize money for BJ Grand Mage.
‘I like it.’
Instead of being surprised by that response, Midas estimated the amount in his head with a determined expression.
‘Here, you have to show your own distribution. Yes, $30,000 to show distribution… … .’
$30,000.
The moment he weighed the amount personally given to Munduk, Midas’s thoughts paused.
It was an amount that was difficult to say out of one’s mouth even though one was determined.
‘Damn Jung Hyeon-woo! Let’s show the distribution here!’
Only after renewing his resolve did Midas finally open his mouth.
“great. So, with the MVP prize… … .
[Azmo sponsored $2,000,000.]
[Azmo: I’ll give you the MVP prize instead.]
At that moment, Azmo’s sponsorship froze Midas as well as the chat window.
– No, the true story of the amount now?
– Isn’t that a typo? Two million dollars, right?
– omg!
An amount beyond common sense.
“yes? I beg your pardon? Did Azmo give you the MVP prize? yes? how much?”
On the other hand, Munduk received a belated report of the situation through his chat window.
“Two million dollars?”
The report that came out after that made Munduk harden as well.
Took!
At that moment, Midas placed both of his hands on Munduk’s shoulders, which had hardened.
“Azumo-nim gave you the MVP prize. Munduk-nim, congratulations. Really sincerely.”
A smile brighter than ever, with a happy smile.
Viewers were also amazed by it.
-Wow, he congratulated me right away when he saw that he got 2 million dollars.
– It’s BJ Grand Mage, after all. Just want to congratulate you If you were like me, you would have been forced to log out because your stomach hurt?
– It seems that the real BJ master mage is extremely rich. There is no shaking after seeing that amount. There is no shaking.
How many people can calmly come out like that even after seeing someone else make a fortune of 2 million dollars through their broadcast?
‘Oh, two million dollars… … .’
Of course, Midas’ feelings were the same as the others.
I just pretended to be calm and acted like it was nothing special.
“Munduk-nim’s prize money will be paid through the Rising Star channel, so consult with the Rising Star channel.”
“yes? yes!”
People now thought of Midas’ performance.
– Looking at this, it looks like BJ Grand Mage gave it to Azmo, right?
– It seems like that. At least, it looks like he asked Azmo.
It is impossible to respond calmly like this without knowing the contents related to the prize money in advance.
It was the same with Munduk.
‘for me…. .’
Munduk thought that this prize money was actually an opportunity given to him by BJ Grand Mage.
‘…. I will definitely repay this favor someday.’
In response to that fact, instead of a firm expression, Mundeok puts on a thrilled expression.
“Now, this concludes today’s Desert King Raid live broadcast.”
With Munduk at his side, Midas gave his last words while clenching his teeth inwardly.
“Thank you to all the players, including Munduk, for helping us today.”
It was the moment when Midas showed his most perfect performance.
