Chapter 323. < Episode 101. Shield of Aegis (2). >
3.
Basically, the specs of God Wars monsters were set to be superior to the opponents.
Nevertheless, the fact that the player became the hunter and the monster became the prey was due to the gaps intentionally created in the monster design process.
Gaps such as monsters’ habits or standardized pattern weaknesses.
Aiming at that gap more efficiently and systematically was often referred to as a strategy.
In other words, ignoring the strategy and catching monsters was harder than I thought.
What if the target is a boss monster designed with overwhelming specs that is not superior to the players?
It was, in a sense, an expression of unwavering will.
An expression of will that I really don’t want to catch this boss monster.
– You’re going to leave the shield behind?
– You mean you just won’t catch it?
Of course, viewers reacted with amazement at BJ Grand Mage’s remarks.
“Oh, I’m going crazy.”
And the rising star channel staff let out a deep sigh.
‘I’ll have to get nervous again.’
‘How can I not easily go to a live broadcast?’
Today’s live broadcast is no different from walking through the flames holding a bomb.
But what about BJ Grand Mage’s move like this? There were no people who questioned that.
‘Well, since he’s a BJ great mage, there’s no way he’ll go easily.’
‘Yes, we have to show a performance here. Just like it has always been.’
In a sense, this was the image of a BJ great mage.
The appearance of the BJ master mage that the world is enthusiastic about!
‘As expected, I didn’t miss the BJ great mage.’
Of course, Park Young-joon thought more deeply than the employees.
‘The comparison target for this dungeon is the Abyss Guild.’
The Temple of Aegis was the first dungeon that the Abyss Guild had discovered and conquered.
Moreover, as I came to know now, the Abyss Guild was not just attacked, but forcibly attacked.
Originally, the dungeon, which would have been easily accessed through a secret passage, was broken by force over a long period of 2 days and 1 night.
To put it simply, it was like ignoring the strategy and breaking it.
‘And that Abyss guild forcibly broke the temple of Aegis.’
In the world of God Wars, it was a far more valuable and dignified strategy.
In such a situation, what would happen if the BJ Archmage safely attacked the temple of Aegis?
As expected, even if BJ Grand Mage flew around, there would be an evaluation that it would not work for the Abyss Guild.
‘There is only one chance to challenge this dungeon.’
And the opportunity to overturn that evaluation again has not come forever.
As such, it means that we have to show something that surpasses the Abyss Guild or at least gets an equal evaluation.
In other words, BJ Grand Mage’s choice this time was an expression of will in Park Young-joon’s eyes.
‘Yes, now I have to prepare for war with the Abyss Guild.’
An expression of will to become a rival with the strongest group of God Wars.
Park Young-joon’s whole body got goosebumps when he reached that fact.
Until now, no one had dared to reveal such a will, let alone harbor it, but BJ Grand Mage did so willingly without hesitation.
‘It won’t be easy.’
Of course, apart from that, the choice of BJ Grand Mage this time was more difficult than ever.
Usually, the Rising Star channel has to convince me not to do that, let’s go easily.
In fact, even the staff repeatedly sent their eyes.
The boss will stop it once, let’s talk about it. The look in our eyes saying that we also want to laugh and talk while producing the broadcast.
However, Park Young-joon did not step forward.
‘Being a BJ great mage will do it, it’s not a decision I made out of ordinary determination.’
Because I knew that this choice of BJ Grand Mage was not just a sudden choice, but a choice that came after great determination.

‘Ah, I just yelled at it… … .’
I’ll just catch it!
After that declaration, the first thing that greeted Midas was nothing but two letters, regret.
And those two letters, regret, became thicker the moment I saw the bronze statue in the form of an ancient Greek warrior standing upright at the beginning of the stairs leading up to the altar.
[Guardian of Aegis]
! Prioritizes those who attack the Aegis shield.
!Aegis Shield activates the ‘Aegis’ Protection’ effect
! While the Aegis’ Protection is active, physical and magic defense increases by 498%
‘Ah, 498%… … .’
Midas sighed inwardly at Aegis’ protection effect, which made him dizzy the moment he saw it.
It was there.
‘If I spit it out, I have to protect it.’
I’ve already confidently ignored the strategy in front of everyone and shouted that I’d go, but now won’t you say you can’t do it? I can’t say that.
There were also reasons to do it.
‘I also need to get the Aegis shield skill.’
Can’t we just throw away the opportunity to acquire an unusual skill just because it’s hard?
‘Let’s think.’
Therefore, the only thing Midas had to worry about from now on was how to catch the guardian without breaking the shield.
‘I’ll have to die dealing first.’
What was certain was that a much longer fight and damage dealing were needed than was prepared.
This means that the tanker’s burden is increased.
‘Aggro management is simple.’
Fortunately, the Guardian’s aggro prioritized the target that attacked the shield.
Of course, there was nothing more troublesome than this in the position of trying to break the shield.
Because it meant that aggro management itself was not possible.
‘wait.’
Then Midas remembered.
‘Since there’s no need to break the shield anyway, shouldn’t the guy who first hit the shield just use poison?’
The situation you want to face right now is difficult, but there is nothing complicated.
‘Then the poison… … .’
In addition, at this moment, viewers don’t have to worry about what will be the most fun.
When he came to that thought, Midas moved.
“Now then, let’s get ready.”
Midas shouted along with the horse.
“Summon Elemental Knight & Summon Blaze Golem & Summon Fire Intermediate Elemental.”
Midas’ 3 consecutive summon castings immediately turned the chat window into a mess.
– Summon again?
– Deal with the BJ Great Mage. Deal! You’re a wannabe too!
It was because I thought that BJ Grand Mage would comfortably suck honey with the help of golems and spirits this time, just like when he hunted the Twin Head Ogre.
“Summon the Spirit Knight.”
In the midst of such complaints from the viewers, Midas summoned the second spirit knight, and the audience clucked their tongues at the sight.
– Welcome to the live broadcast of BJ Great Summoner.
– All of the fans of BJ’s Great Mage look like they’re going to die, you guys!
At that moment, Midas shouted.
“Fireball.”
The complaint disappeared from the chat window at Midas’ fireball casting.
– uh? is it magic
– Is it magic?
– Did the BJ Grand Mage cast magic?
Instead of complaining, Midas, who finished casting in surprise, immediately threw the fireball in his hand toward Aegis’ shield on the altar.
Perong!
And an intense explosion sound heard.
ping!
With that sound, the guardian’s bronze eyes, which had been silent until now, were filled with pure white light.
Then, the white light flew like an arrow and pierced Midas, and at the same time, a notification was heard.
[The guardian of the temple is watching you.]
In that notification, instead of turning away from the guardian’s eyes, Midas glared more intensely and said.
“Today, I will do the tanking.”
With his words, Midas extended his arm to the Guardian and wiggled his finger in his direction.
come!
At that gesture, the guardian immediately started running toward Midas.
The battle has begun.
5.
– BJ Grand Mage? it’s a monster
There was not a single one who denied the fact that BJ Grand Mage was a ridiculous monster.
– Unkillable monsters.
Among them, it was the BJ Archmage’s tanking ability that many, especially God Wars rankers, valued highly.
– BJ Archmage’s firepower can be filled with sufficient numbers. However, with that firepower, there is no case that has strong tanking ability. no wizard ever. That’s why BJ Grand Mage can do crazy things.
That tanking ability makes the ridiculous battle that BJ Grand Mage showed possible.
– I’m not just saying this because I have good tanking skills or good stats. Wide field of view, ability to quickly acquire information, faster analysis ability, and ability to understand and predict patterns of monsters, ability to handle incidents, and the skills that BJ Grand Mage shows in long-distance dealing are very effective even when he is a tank.
Moreover, BJ Grand Mage’s tanking ability was not simply composed of tem and stats, but came from a combination of more elements.
In response to such a high evaluation of the public, BJ Grand Mage was willing to show that the evaluation was right.
– So that kind of thing is possible. Tanking properly for over 10 minutes against such a ridiculous boss monster.
Against the Guardians of Aegis Shrine, nothing else.
– I didn’t know it would be like this.
Moreover, Midas did not just endure.
‘Whoa.’
Midas did not run away without a plan against the very fast, agile and at the same time targeting only himself.
“Master, I will put an end to it soon!”
“Let there be judgment by fire!”
After identifying the location of nearby colleagues in real time, it moved in the direction they were.
‘If you move to the left from here…’
he guided.
‘Lucky can hit his side.’
To make it easier for allies to attack.
Lucky aimed at the opportunity given by Midas without wavering.
The guardian who was frantic in chasing his master struck the right side of the bronze guardian from the front.
With the Ogre Tooth Sword in front.
bang!
The attack sent the Guardian’s body flying to his left, and he immediately rolled on the floor twice.
A strong shock reminiscent of a traffic accident!
However, despite the strong collision, the Guardian quickly got up from his seat and looked at Midas.
I will go till the end!
revealed its will.
“Let there be judgment by fire!”
At that moment, the spirit knight struck the head of the guardian who was about to run toward Midas with a sword made of flame in his hand.
Quaang!
That wasn’t the end.
Perong!
As if they had waited, the mid-level fire spirits threw fireballs made from their own bodies, and an explosion sounded in succession.
– That’s terrible.
A sight that will give goosebumps even to those who see it.
Whoa!
In the midst of the barrage of fire, the Guardians immediately jumped out.
Not even a speck of scorch could be seen on the bronze body of such a guardian.
This means that there was little damage.
– That’s terrible.
The fact gave viewers goosebumps once again, and they vomited their feelings through chatting.
– The BJ Grand Mage who tanks for 10 minutes is terrible, but the Guardian who is fine after being hit is also terrible.
A battle that has never been seen anywhere else in many ways.
Of course, the public opinion about the aspect of this battle was the same.
– But in this case, BJ Grand Mage is at a disadvantage?
There is no advantage to Midas!
Of course,
in the case of Midas, mana was consumed to maintain the spirit knights, intermediate spirits, and golems, and the magic was not infinite.
-Anyway, the attack is allowed.
Also, no matter how well Midas evaded, there was bound to be a time when he would allow the guardians to attack.
No, it was also the role of a tanker to use my body as a shield to block attacks and buy time when needed.
Even the guardians are only pursuing Midas tenaciously!
– First of all, you don’t know how it works, do you?
– Tanking without knowing the HP status is like running a marathon without knowing the goal.
Crucially, the situation Midas was in was the most terrible situation for tankers.
Of course, that was the reason Midas was willing to become a tanker.
‘HP is definitely being cut.’
Because in his eyes, the HP status of the guardian was clearly visible.
‘If I go at this pace, I can catch it in an hour.’
It has already been calculated when this incoherent fight will end.
– It seems like it will last a long time.
– I’ll have to order the chicken first.
– It looks like we’re going to play a long game, so I smoke a cigarette and come.
And it had already been calculated that there would be no benefit from such a long-term battle.
‘But I can’t catch it like this for an entire hour.’
Countermeasures have already been prepared.
“Now that I’m used to the pattern, I’ll try dealing more properly.”
Midas, who was running away, cast a spell with that comment.
“Inferno.”
The magic he pulled out was none other than Inferno!
– ah! There was the curse of Inferno!
Viewers were delighted with the appearance of the magic that could cast the curse of Inferno, which reduces the opponent’s magic defense.
– Just go lucky, isn’t gold or silver a physical attack?
– Spirits are magic!
At least if you use that effect, the attack damage of the spirits will definitely stick much more than now.
[Casting is complete.]
The moment the casting of the newly cast Inferno magic was finished, Midas immediately summoned the demon of Inferno.
Whoop whoop!
The demon of Inferno that appeared did not hesitate at all and set fire to the body of the guardian who was chasing Midas.
“I won’t let you step on the master’s shadow!”
And as soon as the flames subsided, Gold, who ran with all his might, slammed the Guardian into the body.
Quaang!
At that attack, the guardian’s body bounced off the ground twice like a ball.
“You bastard!”
When the bounced Guardian returned to his stance, Gold struck again.
Quaang!
The repeated attacks sent the Guardian flying once more.
thud!
– It’s the Blaze Golem!
To the place where the Blaze Golem is none other than.
It was what Gold intended, and what Blaze Golem had been waiting for.
Naturally, without hesitation, the blaze golem slammed its huge arm onto the body of the guardian flying in front of it.
Kwakwang!
There was a roar like an earthquake.
Perong!
Following that roar, the mid-level fire spirits made a powerful explosion of balls of fire.
Eventually, when the fuss began to subside, viewers once again had anticipation.
– Did it work this time?
– At least there must be traces of damage left, right?
Viewers had expectations again for a completely different form of offensive.
[The Guardian is watching you.]
Eventually, the Guardian reappeared to chase Midas.
There was no sign of a fierce battle anywhere on the bronze body of such a guardian.
– ah.
The spontaneous sighing and despondency. The one who moved in such a situation was none other than Lucky.
There was no hesitation in Lucky’s body as he ran, even though the previous attacks failed to show any results.
On the contrary, although it was different in many ways from when he was a wolf with his teeth exposed, only determination was visible from Lucky’s body, which quietly let out the cry of an animal.
A determination to fight until the end of the world.
– Lucky!
– Yes, the only thing I can count on now is Lucky!
It was the moment when viewers once again had anticipation for such a resolution.
[In-rang mode is canceled.]
With a sudden notification, Lucky’s body grew bigger and his hair began to grow.
[The item wear is canceled.]
At the same time, the items Lucky was wearing bounced like popcorn and scattered all over the place.
K-King!
Eventually, Lucky, who regained his original form, slammed the Guardian’s body as it was.
Clearly, the attack was powerful.
bang!
Enough to push the guardian away.
However, unlike the time when he made the Guardian fall down a moment ago, it just made the Guardian stumble.
– Inlang mode is over!
– Why are you here!
Viewers screamed at the sight.
The scream that came out rightly because it was the moment when the most trusted Lucky and the main character who received more attention than anyone else came down the stage.
– Okay, let’s give up now. It’s easier if we give up.
– We won’t.
– Let’s just break the shield and catch it!
In the midst of that scream, most of the viewers expressed their opinion that we had done enough and went according to the strategy.
Opinions so valid that it is impossible to refute them.
“This Lucky is back.”
Midas made a comment about that fact.
“Then it’s nothing special. I deliberately volunteered as an extra to give Lucky a solo performance today…. .
While everyone questioned that remark.
“In the end, I have to step in and finish it.”
‘Now then, it’s time to return to being the main character.’
He took out the real hidden card that Midas had prepared for the guardian running toward him.
“Hell Fire.”
‘In front of this magic, it doesn’t matter how many times the defense goes up.’
Magical Hellfire that ignores all defense.
