Episode 73
“Danger…Danger…!”
Shyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Hye-eun raised her eyes at something flying in with a stranger.
It happened before she even took out her bottle.
Because it was swung at a speed that could not be easily followed by the eyes, it was not possible to know its shape properly, but if there is one thing worth noting, it is a thin and elongated shape with a bluish color.
And the moment she noticed that it was split into five prongs and bent like a hook, like a human hand, Hye-eun tilted her head back and at the same time twisted her body as much as possible in an oblique direction.
“Haaaaaaaa!”
Quaang!
With the strong sound of air cutting through the air right behind her, the flanged mace I had seen before was swung at something that looked like a bare tree branch.
“Lightning Bash!!”
Quaang! bang!
When Hye-eun pulled herself out with a short car, the mace fired a bright yellow lightning and hit the green monster again.
It was a quick yet powerful strike with attribute magic.
The mace user’s attack, which had enough power to blow off the head of most beast-type monsters with a single blow, and despite the fact that it stopped the attack that was attacking Hye-eun.
“Kyaaaaaaaa!!”
“Ugh?!”
However, despite the mace user’s attack, it seemed that it did not take any damage, and soon began to press the mace user by swinging its arms like a pitchfork.
It was a speedy attack, like an experienced swordsman pouring out quick swords in succession.
“Un Duex Trois!”
Do-do-do-do-do!
Hye-eun, who jumped off the wall of the trench as a stepping stone, fired an epee at the monster who was chasing the man, and the sound of a rifle firing rang out.
It was an attack that stabbed the side accurately while pressing the mace user.
The stabs pouring down like the rays of light occupy all directions and pour as if there is no place to escape, and the monster that drives the mace user has no choice but to accept it in its entirety.
“Ameba King!!”
“Haaaaaa!”
And Hye-eun shouted the name of the mace user, < Amebaking >, and at the same time, Amoebaking swung her mace like a ghost and hit the monster’s waist as if pressing it down.
[Crusader]
[Flame Bash]
Phew!
At first glance, it was a flame that burst out with an explosion that looked like a grenade.
“Huh. Huh.”
The amoebaking gasped for breath as the monster’s waist, which had been hit by the mace, was crushed at an abnormal angle and stopped moving.
I don’t know what it was, but it was by no means a crappy monster.
On the other hand, he recklessly attacks the Crusader Amoebaking, who can use various attribute attacks by enchanting four attributes based on his powerful defense power.
Despite the amoebaking’s full plate mail, the level of physical strength to inflict damage was a level that could not even be attempted unless it was a tolerable body type monster.
“What is this?”
“Are you a person?”
And Amoebaking looked down at the monster who had fallen at Hyeeun’s words and vaguely guessed that it was a bare-headed creature in the form of a naked human.
A skinny body, as if starved for several days, a nose with no nose bridge, only a hole in it, no eyelids, one eye the size of a coin that glowed, and triangular ears protruding wide.
“bat? No, too much for that…”
“Dracula? It looks like a vampire.”
Considering that it had hairless skin that looked like plaster was applied to its blue flesh like a frozen corpse, Amoebaking’s words could be said to be a reasonable guess.
It was because, after becoming a human, when a human body was attached to the head of a bat, it looked roughly similar.
[Berthas Ghoul]
Ghouls appear in the extreme land of Berthas Plateau. He is very fast and has several times the strength of a normal man. Unlike the undead, which cannot be freed under the sun, they boast vigorous activity regardless of day or night.
Like other ghouls, they crave human blood and flesh, but unlike other ghouls, they do not speak human words or transform into animals. Instead, it has the ability to transform its own body for battle, and sometimes attempts to reproduce using humans as hosts. For some reason, he did not leave Berthas Plateau.
Race: Devil
Type: Normal
Level: 65
Special note: Be careful as this monster’s level and level may rise rapidly the moment you try to transform it.
< Berthas Ghoul >.
One of the grotesque monsters from beyond the borders of the Wild West.
“He wouldn’t have died yet.”
“what?”
“I bet he’s not dead yet.”
When Damian, who appeared on the other side of the trench, glanced at the ghoul, Amoebaking and Hyeeun frowned.
It was nonsense.
No, aside from the absurdity of those words. Hye-eun, who can be said to be in the same group, was in danger, so where did she appear?
As Hye-eun and Amoebaking, I felt a sense of repulsion that I did not understand and did not want to understand, either in terms of common sense or emotionally.
“Isn’t it too proud to appear after hiding like a rat?”
“I don’t mean to deny Damian-sama’s words unconditionally, but wouldn’t it be even more strange if monsters whose stock is humans are spread out like that? Wouldn’t it rather have run at it like a zombie or a skeleton, common sense?”
“Don’t associate with that person because he’s that kind of person. He’s a human who only spreads sophistry, and that person last time…”
And while Hye-eun agrees with Amoeba King’s words, the moment she tries to talk about the horrors that took place in the last Caliph Mountains and the reality of Damian.
“If you want to follow through, keep talking like that. Then you really fall behind. If your goal is to quickly log out, then do that.”
“I beg your pardon?”
Demian, regardless of Amoebaking and Hyeeun’s words, dug into one ear and began to gesture toward Hyeeun, who was trying to raise her voice gradually, as if it were annoying.
“That doesn’t sound like anything…!”
Cheek!
And Damian turned into a ray of red light.
“First head.”
“Kyaaaaaaagh!!!”
Quaang!
While Hyeeun was about to scream, Damian’s foot kicked Berthas Ghoul in the head.
It was the moment when the ghoul soared behind Hyeeun like a jaguar.
Even though his back was twisted and crushed by Amoeba King’s < Flame Bash >, it bounced like a spring, and that’s when Amoeba King’s eyes were stained with astonishment and fluttered.
Damian grabbed the arm of Berthas Ghoul, who was wielding a pitchfork-like grip, and pulled him as it was while his torso was leaning.
The ghoul, unable to control the strength of his arm, fell to the ground and at the same time raised his mace-like fist and slashed the ghoul’s back of the head mercilessly, spitting out spirits.
All of that happened in a flash.
“Head Shoulders Toes Knees Toes.”
bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!
However, after the man who had done all of that in an instant rode on Berthas Ghoul’s back, severing his joints and tendons with a pair of daggers, as if he had been dissecting him for a long time.
Contrary to his own words, he was conducting an ignorant attack by punching the skull of a long-haired bastard.
“Eulachachacha!!”
Kwaji support!
It wasn’t long before Berthas Ghoul’s larynx exploded like a watermelon.
“Look at that, everyone. Because I’m right. Stop doubting me from now on. When have I ever given you false common sense?”
“…”
Damian turned his head toward the translucent dot as Berthas’ ghoul’s limbs trembled and sprawled like a doll with a thread cut.
It was with a carefree comment as if nothing had happened.
Unlike Damian, who raised his index finger and made a triumphant expression, Hye-eun and Amoeba King couldn’t easily accept what was happening in front of them.
It was obvious that Demian’s live streaming window was filled with chatting only when he forgot what to say in an unrealistic situation that suddenly occurred.
– Helchang Kim Dong-sik: No what!!!!!!!!!!
– Shaking tail: Instructor, did you defeat the class? right? Is it?
– vDonghyeonniv: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, why are their faces like that
?
– Lemur Lemuring: Showing your skills, so you’ll just be dumbfounded
. My heart becomes magnificent.
– Broken Hult: Brothers, I feel strange;;;;
….
Like the chat response of the streaming window that is exploding, the control Damian showed is such a ridiculous kind of thing that I instinctively doubt whether it was a human being.
It was because it was the same as showing through actions that the claims made by Hye-eun and Amoeba King were wrong.
“Even though Berthas ghouls differ from one individual to another, it is difficult to kill them with a tolerable blow unless the head explodes. It is also a characteristic that shares the same resolution with other undead monsters. Even after suffering serious damage such as fractures or amputations, he is capable of transforming his body to suit the current situation within a certain period of time. For example…”
If a limb fell off, it is said that it is possible to attack by shooting a bone fragment from the mouth or pulling out the tailbone and piercing the opponent’s body and sticking to it as it is.
In addition, unlike the 24 characteristics of elite monsters, the body transformation of such Berthas Ghouls is a fluid change of the situation and environment, so there have been some bizarre methods such as self-destruction and blood vampirism.
“So, it can be said that this is why Aldeon Fortress gives a special warning about monsters. It’s hard to pinpoint the characteristics of an opponent, and it’s not just ghouls on this plateau. Now you can understand why Captain Mikhail’s explanation was vague, right?”
“…”
“Ah. Still, if there’s one thing that ghouls have in common…they’re transforming themselves within 2 to 5 minutes, at the longest. Of course, each individual will be slightly different until they master it and attack humans in the best way. Before that, it would be best to attack the tendons or joints like I did, or to break the head at the same time.”
Damian turned his head while Hyeeun and Amoeba King kept their mouths shut without saying anything.
It was a face so calm that you would never think of someone who had just gone through a fierce battle.
“You see? Seo Hye-eun?”
smile!
Eventually, Damian bent his eyes toward Hye-eun like a bow.
